Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

Acquisitions

2021 Transactions

On July 1, 2021, the effective date of the transaction, the Company paid $7 million to acquire the remaining interest in the dental business of a partially owned affiliate based in Switzerland that primarily develops highly specialized software with a focus on CAD/CAM systems. The acquisition is expected to further accelerate the development of the Company's specialized software related to CAD/CAM systems.

The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition of the affiliate included $4 million of Other current assets, $3 million of Intangible assets, $2 million of Current liabilities and $1 million of Other long-term liabilities. The cash paid and the $4 million fair value of the previously-held interest in the entity prior to the acquisition has been allocated on the basis of the estimates of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulting in the recording of $7 million in goodwill. This goodwill is considered to represent the value associated with the acquired workforce and synergies the two companies anticipate realizing as a combined company and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Measurement period adjustments made to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were immaterial to the financial statements, resulting in an increase to goodwill of $2 million.

Identifiable intangible assets acquired were as follows:

On June 1, 2021, the effective date of the transaction, the Company paid $132 million to acquire substantially all of the assets of Propel Orthodontics LLC, a privately-held company based in New York and California ("Propel Orthodontics"). Propel Orthodontics manufactures and sells orthodontic devices and provides in-office and at-home orthodontic accessory devices to orthodontists and their patients primarily within the aligner market. The acquisition is expected to further accelerate the growth and profitability of the Company's combined aligners business.

The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Propel Orthodontics acquisition were as follows:

Other current assets	$	4
Intangible assets	66

The purchase price has been allocated on the basis of the estimates of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulting in the recording of $63 million in goodwill, which is considered to represent the value associated with the acquired workforce and synergies the two companies anticipate realizing as a combined company. The goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Measurement period adjustments made to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were immaterial to the financial statements, resulting in a reduction to goodwill of $2 million.

In the year ended December 31, 2022, certain earn-out provisions were achieved and the Company made cash payments of $5 million to the former shareholders of Datum with no impact to the Company's Statement of Operations for the period. As of December 31, 2022, the remaining contingent consideration obligation was $4 million.

The results of operations for each of the acquired businesses above upon the effective date of each transaction have been included in the accompanying financial statements. These results, as well as the historical results for the above acquired businesses for the year ended December 31, 2021 are not material in relation to the Company’s net sales and earnings for that period. The Company therefore does not believe these acquisitions represent material transactions either individually or in the aggregate requiring the supplemental pro-forma information prescribed by ASC 805 and accordingly, this information is not presented.

Acquisition-related costs incurred for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $1 million and $8 million, respectively, consisting primarily of legal and professional fees in relation to the Propel and Byte acquisitions and are recorded in SG&A expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Investment in Affiliates

On June 4, 2021, the effective date of the transaction, the Company paid $16 million to acquire a minority interest in a UK based, privately-held provider of healthcare consumables. The investment is recorded as an equity method investment within Other noncurrent assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Divestitures

On April 1, 2021, the Company disposed of certain orthodontics businesses based in Japan previously included as part of the Technologies & Equipment segment in exchange for a cash receipt of $8 million. The divestiture resulted in an immaterial loss recorded in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.

On February 1, 2021, the Company disposed of an investment casting business previously included as part of the Consumables segment in exchange for a cash receipt of $19 million. The divestiture resulted in a pre-tax gain of $13 million recorded in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.
