Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and notes thereto. Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from these estimates. Significant estimates are associated with recording accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets other than goodwill, contingent consideration liabilities related to business combinations, long-lived assets, derivative financial instruments, deferred income taxes, warranty obligations, revenue over time, and stock-based compensation expense. The Company assesses the estimates on an ongoing basis and records changes in estimates in the period they occur and become known.

The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, including results of operations and financial condition, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain. This includes results from new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and any actions taken to contain or treat COVID-19, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international customers and markets. The Company has made estimates of the impact of COVID-19 in the analysis of its financial statements.

Foreign Currency Translation

Certain transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. Foreign currency exchange gains (losses) generated from the settlement and remeasurement of these transactions are recognized in earnings and presented within “Other income (expense)” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net foreign currency transaction and remeasurement gains were $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net foreign currency transaction and remeasurement losses were $2.7 million and $2.9 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The determination of the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is based on their financial and operational environment and is the local currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities are translated into the reporting currency at period-end exchange rates, while revenue, expenses, gains and losses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. Gains and losses from foreign currency translations are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and presented as “Foreign currency translation adjustments” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Hedging Activities

On February 1, 2022, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap agreement to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreement, the Company notionally exchanged $1.0 billion for €915.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 1.20%. The designated notional amount was $960.0 million and the actual interest rate was 1.28%. The 1.28% rate was in the range of the market value for that day and was the true interest rate on the notional amount. The Company designated the cross-currency swap as a hedge of net investments against one of its Euro denominated subsidiaries requiring an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity. At the maturity of the cross currency-swap on February 1, 2023, the Company delivered a notional amount of €852.0 million and received a notional amount of $960.0 million at an exchange rate of 1.13, which included realization of a gain of $29.3 million, which was recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On February 1, 2023, the Company entered into another cross-currency swap agreement to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreement, the Company notionally exchanged $436.0 million for €400.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 1.66%. The Company designated the cross-currency swap as a hedge of net investments against one of its Euro denominated subsidiaries, which requires an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity on February 1, 2024.

The cross-currency swaps are marked to market at each reporting period, representing the fair values of the cross-currency swap and any changes in fair value are recognized as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest accrued on the cross-currency swap is recorded within “Interest income” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a net loss of $0.2 and $70.5 million, respectively, to “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” and recorded “Interest income” of $1.8 million and $7.1 million on these instruments for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities, including cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, contingent consideration liability and derivative instruments at fair value. The Company applies a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

●

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset and liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

●

Level 2: Observable inputs other than prices included in Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

●

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities and reflect an entity’s own assumptions in pricing assets or liabilities since they are supported by little or no market activity.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs, as well as considering counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

The Company measures certain assets, including the cost and equity method investments, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. The fair values of these investments are determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include quoted market prices, market comparable prices, and discounted cash flow projections. An impairment charge is recorded when the cost of the investment exceeds its fair value and this condition is determined to be other-than-temporary

Leases

The Company has operating leases for real estate and non-real estate and finance leases for non-real estate. The classification of a lease as operating or finance and the determination of the right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and lease liability are determined at lease inception. The ROU asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the lease liability represents the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, an incremental borrowing rate is used based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company’s lease agreements may contain lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components primarily include payments for maintenance and utilities. Fixed payments for non-lease components are combined with lease payments and accounted for as a single lease component which increases the amount of the ROU asset and liability.

The ROU asset for operating leases is included within “Other assets” and the ROU asset for finance leases is included within “Property, plant, and equipment, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The short-term lease liabilities for both operating leases and finance leases are included within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-term lease liabilities for operating leases and finance leases are included within “Long-term operating lease liabilities”, and “Other long-term liabilities”, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Warranty Obligations

The Company establishes reserves for estimated costs of product warranties based on historical information. Product warranty reserves are recorded at the time product revenue is recognized, and retrofit accruals are recorded at the time retrofit programs are established. The Company’s warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, utilization levels, material usage, service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure and supplier warranties on parts delivered to the Company.
