Investment
Our Investment segment is comprised of various private investment funds, including Icahn Partners L.P. ("Icahn Partners"), Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund II LP and Icahn Partners Master Fund III LP (collectively, the "Master Funds," and together with Icahn Partners, the "Investment Funds"), through which we invest our proprietary capital. We and certain of Mr. Icahn's wholly owned affiliates are the sole investors in the Investment Funds. Icahn Onshore LP and Icahn Offshore LP (together, the "General Partners") act as the general partner of Icahn Partners and the Master Funds, respectively. The General Partners provide investment advisory and certain administrative and back office services to the Investment Funds but do not provide such services to any other entities, individuals or accounts. Interests in the Investment Funds are not offered to outside investors.
Effective January 1, 2014, Icahn Partners Master Fund II LP and Icahn Partners Master Fund III LP were merged with and into Icahn Partners. As a result, the Investment Funds now consist solely of Icahn Partners and Icahn Partners Master Fund LP. Other than this merger, no other organizational or policy changes were made within our Investment segment.
We had interests in the Investment Funds with a fair value of approximately $4.8 billion and $3.7 billion as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Mr. Icahn and his affiliates (excluding Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings) had direct investments in the Investment Funds of approximately $5.4 billion and $4.7 billion as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Automotive
We conduct our Automotive segment through our majority ownership in Federal-Mogul. Federal-Mogul is a leading global supplier of a broad range of components, accessories and systems to the automotive, small engine, heavy-duty, marine, railroad, agricultural, off-road, aerospace and energy, industrial and transport markets, including customers in both the original equipment manufacturers and servicers (“OE”) market and the replacement market (“aftermarket”). Federal-Mogul’s customers include the world’s largest automotive OEs and major distributors and retailers in the independent aftermarket.
Federal-Mogul operates with two end-customer focused business segments. The Powertrain business unit focuses on original equipment products for automotive, heavy duty and industrial applications. The Motorparts business unit sells and distributes a broad portfolio of products in the global aftermarket, while also serving original equipment manufacturers with products including braking, chassis, wipers and other vehicle components. This dual organizational model allows for a strong product line focus benefitting both original equipment and aftermarket customers and enables the global Federal-Mogul teams to be responsive to customers’ needs for superior products and to promote greater identification with Federal-Mogul premium brands. Additionally, this organizational model enhances management's focus to capitalize on opportunities for organic or acquisition growth, profit improvement, resource utilization and business model optimization in line with the unique requirements of the two different customer bases.
On September 3, 2014, Federal-Mogul announced its plan to separate its Powertrain and Motorparts businesses into two independent, publicly-traded companies serving the global original equipment and aftermarket industries. The planned separation will be implemented through a tax-free distribution of Federal-Mogul’s Motorparts business to shareholders of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation. No assurances can be given regarding the ultimate timing of the separation or that it will be consummated; however, Federal-Mogul currently anticipates completing the spin-off of its Motorparts business in the first half of 2015.
As of September 30, 2014, we owned approximately 80.7% of the total outstanding common stock of Federal-Mogul.
Reorganization
On April 15, 2014, Federal-Mogul Corporation completed a holding company reorganization (the “Federal-Mogul Reorganization”). As a result of the Federal-Mogul Reorganization, the outstanding shares of Federal-Mogul Corporation common stock were automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation common stock, and all of the stockholders of Federal-Mogul Corporation immediately prior to the Federal-Mogul Reorganization automatically became stockholders of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation. The rights of stockholders of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation are generally governed by Delaware law and Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which are the same in all material respects as those of Federal-Mogul Corporation immediately prior to the Federal-Mogul Reorganization. References herein to Federal-Mogul refer to Federal-Mogul Corporation for the period prior to the effective time of the Federal-Mogul Reorganization on April 15, 2014 and to Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation for the period after the effective time of the Federal-Mogul Reorganization.
Acquisitions
On May 1, 2014, Federal-Mogul completed the Affinia Group Inc. ("Affinia") chassis business acquisition (the "Affinia Acquisition"). The acquisition of this business, which serves leading U.S. aftermarket customers with private label chassis product lines allows Federal-Mogul to broaden its product offering, provide operational synergies and better service customers globally. The purchase price was $149 million, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments, net of acquired cash. Federal-Mogul paid $140 million of the purchase price in the second quarter of 2014 and $9 million in the third quarter of 2014.
With respect to the Affinia Acquisition, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, Federal-Mogul allocated $71 million to tangible net assets, $26 million to goodwill and $52 million to other intangible assets based on the fair values of the net assets acquired as of the acquisition date. The valuation of net assets was performed utilizing cost, income and market approaches.
On July 11, 2014, Federal-Mogul completed the purchase of certain business assets of Honeywell International Inc.'s ("Honeywell") automotive and industrial brake friction business (the "Honeywell Acquisition"), including two recently established manufacturing facilities in China and Romania, substantially strengthening the manufacturing and engineering capabilities of Federal-Mogul's current global braking portfolio. The business was acquired through a combination of asset and stock purchases for a base purchase price of $169 million and a provisional estimate of $15 million, primarily for working capital adjustments and earn-out targets, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments, contingent consideration and other liabilities. A valuation of the assets from the Honeywell Acquisition resulted in $184 million allocated to tangible net assets. The valuation of net assets was performed utilizing cost, income and market approaches.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Federal-Mogul recorded an aggregate $7 million in transaction related expenses associated with the Affinia and Honeywell Acquisitions which are reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses within the consolidated statements of operations.
On September 10, 2014, an indirectly controlled subsidiary of Federal-Mogul entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire certain assets of the engine components business of TRW Automotive Inc. ("TRW"), for a base purchase price of approximately $385 million subject to certain customary closing and post-closing adjustments. The transaction is subject to regulatory and other customary approvals, and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2015.
Accounts Receivable, net
Federal-Mogul's subsidiaries in Brazil, France, Germany, Italy and the United States are party to accounts receivable factoring and securitization facilities. Gross accounts receivable transferred under these facilities were $337 million and $271 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Of those gross amounts, $324 million and $258 million, respectively, qualify as sales as defined in FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing. The remaining transferred receivables were pledged as collateral and accounted for as secured borrowings and recorded in the consolidated balance sheets within accounts receivable, net and debt. Under the terms of these facilities, Federal-Mogul is not obligated to draw cash immediately upon the transfer of accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2014, Federal-Mogul had $2 million of undrawn cash related to such transferred receivables. As of December 31, 2013, Federal-Mogul had withdrawn all cash related to such transferred receivables. Proceeds from the transfers of accounts receivable qualifying as sales were $456 million and $379 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and approximately $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
For each of three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, expenses associated with transfers of receivables were $2 million, and $5 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Such expenses were recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within other income, net. Where Federal-Mogul receives a fee to service and monitor these transferred receivables, such fees are sufficient to offset the costs and as such, a servicing asset or liability is not incurred as a result of such activities.
Certain of the facilities contain terms that require Federal-Mogul to share in the credit risk of the sold receivables. The maximum exposure to Federal-Mogul associated with certain of these facilities' terms was $21 million as of both September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Based on Federal-Mogul's analysis of the creditworthiness of its customers to whom such receivables were sold and outstanding as of both September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Federal-Mogul estimated the loss to be immaterial.
Restructuring
In February 2013, Federal-Mogul's Board of Directors approved the evaluation of restructuring opportunities in order to improve operating performance. As such, Federal-Mogul has initiated several programs (collectively, the "Restructuring Programs") and will continue to evaluate alternatives to align its business with executive management's strategy. The Restructuring Programs are intended to take place between 2013 and 2015 with an expected total cost of $130 million, of which $123 million and $7 million pertains to employee costs and facility costs, respectively. Federal-Mogul expects to incur an additional $28 million with respect to the Restructuring Programs. In connection with the Restructuring Programs, Federal-Mogul recorded $25 million and $4 million in restructuring charges for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $63 million and $20 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, substantially all of which pertain to employee costs.
Federal-Mogul continues to evaluate restructuring opportunities throughout its operations and will continue to record restructuring charges based on information available at the time such charges are recorded pursuant to FASB ASC Topics 712 and 420.
