BASIS OF PRESENTATION | BASIS OF PRESENTATION As Atmus became a publicly traded company upon the IPO, its financial statements are now presented on a consolidated basis. In preparation for the IPO, the Company’s historical combined financial statements were prepared on a standalone basis, which reflected a combination of entities under common control that had been “carved out” of and derived from the historical consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Cummins. The unaudited financial statements for all periods presented, including the historical results of the Company prior to May 26, 2023, are now referred to as “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”, and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Commission for interim financial information . Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted. It is management’s opinion that these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of Atmus’ results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Periods Prior to the IPO Prior to the IPO, Atmus, previously the Filtration Business of Cummins, functioned as part of the larger group of businesses controlled by Cummins and accordingly, utilized centralized functions of Cummins, such as facilities and information technology, to support its operations. A portion of the shared service costs were historically allocated to the Filtration Business. Cummins also performed certain corporate functions for the Filtration Business. The corporate expenses related to the Filtration Business were allocated from Cummins. These allocated costs primarily related to certain governance and corporate functions, including finance, human resources, investor relations, legal, tax, treasury and certain other costs. Where it was possible to specifically attribute such expenses to activities of the Filtration Business, these amounts were charged or credited directly to the Filtration Business without allocation or apportionment. Allocation of other such expenses was based on a reasonable reflection of the utilization of the service provided or benefit received by the Filtration Business for the periods presented prior to the Separation, on a consistent basis, such as a relative percentage of headcount and third-party sales. The aggregate costs allocated for these functions to the Filtration Business are included within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income for the periods presented prior to the Separation. Management believes these cost allocations were a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to, or the benefit derived by, the Filtration Business during the period prior to the IPO, though the allocations may not be indicative of the actual costs that would have been incurred had the Filtration Business operated as a standalone public company. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Filtration Business had been a standalone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by the Filtration Business employees, and strategic decisions made in areas such as manufacturing, selling and marketing, research and development, information technology and infrastructure. Historically, Atmus’ cash was transferred to Cummins on a daily basis. This arrangement was not reflective of the manner in which Atmus would have been able to finance its operations had it been a standalone business separate from Cummins during each of the periods presented. Cummins’ debt and related interest expense were not allocated to Atmus for any of the periods presented since Atmus was not the legal obligor of the debt and Cummins’ borrowings were not directly attributable to Atmus. As the separate legal entities that made up the Filtration Business were not historically held by a single legal entity, Cummins’ net investment in this business (“Net Parent Investment”) was presented in lieu of a controlling interest’s equity in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For the Filtration Business, transactions with Cummins affiliates were included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income and related balances were reflected as related party receivables and related party payables. Other balances between the Filtration Business and Cummins were considered to be effectively settled in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at the time the transactions were recorded. As of the IPO Date In connection with the Separation, we entered into various agreements with Cummins, including a separation agreement. In the separation agreement, there were certain assets and liabilities identified in the schedules, including leases and unrecognized tax liabilities, which were retained by Cummins and were reflected as Net Parent Investment in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and those that were transferred to the Company, including additional pension assets, other compensation obligations and certain other assets and liabilities, which were transferred to the Company through Net Parent Investment in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These various agreements comprehensively provide a framework for our relationship with Cummins and govern various interim and ongoing relationships between us and Cummins post IPO. As part of the Separation, Net Parent Investment was reclassified as Additional Paid-in Capital. Periods Post IPO Following the IPO, certain services continue to be provided by Cummins under the transition services agreement. The Company incurred certain costs in its establishment as a standalone public company and expects to incur ongoing additional costs associated with operating as an independent, publicly traded company. As a standalone entity, the Company will file tax returns on its own behalf, and tax balances and effective income tax rates may differ from the amounts reported in the historical periods. Post IPO, Atmus filed a consolidated Federal income tax return and returns in certain other jurisdictions with Cummins. Post IPO, Retained earnings began to accumulate and the balance reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets reflects earnings for the period May 26, 2023 through March 31, 2024. Periods Post Full Separation Following Full Separation, Cummins will continue to provide certain services to Atmus under the transition services agreement. The transition services agreement relates primarily to administrative services, which are generally to be provided through May 2025. Atmus will continue to pay Cummins mutually agreed upon fees for these services. Post Full Separation, Cummins is no longer considered a related party and activity post March 18, 2024, between Atmus and Cummins has been treated as arm’s-length transactions. Atmus files tax returns in all jurisdictions on its own behalf post Full Separation. |
