Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

3. Acquisitions and Divestitures

In November 2023, Adient finalized the sale of 51% of its interest (previously held 100%) in Adient (Langfang) Seating Co., Ltd. ("LFADNT") in China for ¥44 million ($6 million), resulting in the deconsolidation of LFADNT, including $9 million of cash. Adient recorded an $8 million loss as a result of the transaction in the Asia segment, including $5 million of allocated goodwill.

In April 2023, Adient completed the acquisition of Nantong Yanfeng Adient Seating Trim Co., Ltd. (“YFAT”) from KEIPER Seating Mechanisms Co., Ltd. (“KEIPER”) for ¥150 million ($23 million). Adient made an initial deposit of ¥75 million ($12 million) in fiscal 2022, which represents 50% of the purchase price (reflected within other current assets as of September 30, 2022). During fiscal 2023, Adient paid the remaining purchase price of ¥75 million ($11 million). The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method, and the operating results and cash flows of YFAT are included in Adient's consolidated financial statements starting from May 2023. The acquisition has provided additional synergies within the Asia segment. Adient recorded a purchase price allocation for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the April 2023 acquisition date, which included $13 million of goodwill and $5 million of acquired cash. The allocation of the purchase price is based on the valuations performed to determine the fair value of the net assets as of the acquisition date. If the acquisition of YFAT had occurred on October 1, 2021, its impact on Adient's net sales and net income attributable to Adient for fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2023 would have been immaterial. Upon acquisition, YFAT was renamed as Adient (Nantong) Automotive Seating Components Co., Ltd.
