Note 12—Discontinued Operations

Planned Divestiture of MTS T&S Business

On January 19, 2021 and prior to the closing of the MTS acquisition, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the MTS T&S business to ITW. The agreed-upon sale price is approximately $750, excluding any outstanding net debt assumed by Amphenol related to the MTS T&S business and subject to post-closing adjustment. The Company expects to close on the sale of the MTS T&S business upon the receipt of all required regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, which is expected to be within one year of the date of the acquisition of MTS.

Since the MTS T&S business, which was part of the recent MTS acquisition, has never been nor is expected to ever be considered part of our continuing operations, the Company classifies and reports the financial results and related cash flows of the MTS T&S business as discontinued operations, effective as of the MTS acquisition date, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company will continue to report the MTS T&S business as a discontinued operation until the business is sold to ITW as currently anticipated. As discussed in Note 11 herein, the purchase price allocation associated with the MTS T&S business is being performed separately from the MTS Sensors business, as the MTS T&S business meets the “held for sale” accounting criteria. These assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulting from the MTS T&S purchase price allocation are measured and recorded at fair value less costs to sell as of the date of the MTS acquisition; such accounts are included in Current assets held for sale and Current liabilities held for sale, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, each presented as separate single line items in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2021. In addition, the Company assumed a $28.7 contingent consideration liability from the MTS acquisition, which was recognized at fair value as part of acquisition accounting and was recorded within Current liabilities held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets upon acquisition. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company made a capital contribution to its MTS T&S business (discontinued operations), which in turn used the funding to settle the contingent consideration. The Company expects to close on the sale of the MTS T&S business within one year of the date of the acquisition of MTS, and as such, these associated assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale have been classified as current as of September 30, 2021. The Company also ceased recording depreciation and amortization on the held for sale assets as of the MTS acquisition date.

The Company did not assign the MTS T&S business to either of our two reportable business segments due to its planned sale. Amphenol will not have any continuing involvement with the MTS T&S business after the date of its divestiture.
