Business Overview and Basis of Presentation

BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Business

Vontier Corporation (“Vontier” or the “Company”) is a global industrial technology company that provides critical mobility and multi-energy technologies and solutions to connect, manage and scale the mobility ecosystem worldwide. As of June 30, 2023, the Company operates through three reportable segments which align to the Company’s three operating segments: (i) Mobility Technologies, which provides digitally enabled equipment and solutions to support efficient operations across the mobility ecosystem, including point-of-sale and payment systems, workflow automation solutions, telematics, data analytics, operating software for electric vehicle charging networks, and integrated solutions for alternative fuel dispensing; (ii) Repair Solutions, which manufactures and distributes aftermarket vehicle repair tools, toolboxes, automotive diagnostic equipment and software through a network of mobile franchisees; and (iii) Environmental & Fueling Solutions, which provides environmental and fueling hardware and software, and aftermarket solutions for global fueling infrastructure.

Basis of Presentation and Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements present the Company’s historical financial position, results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are unaudited.

The interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements also reflect the impact of noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling interests do not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, therefore, net earnings and net earnings per share attributable to noncontrolling interests are not presented separately in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests have been reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) and were insignificant in all periods presented.

In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected. Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been omitted. The accompanying interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

Goodwill

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company realigned its internal organization, as further discussed in Note 9. Segment Information, which resulted in a decrease in the number of reporting units for goodwill impairment testing from seven reporting units to five reporting units. For historical reporting units that were divided among the Company’s new reporting units after the realignment, the Company used the relative fair value method to reallocate goodwill to the new reporting units. The Company performed a qualitative goodwill impairment test immediately prior to and following the change in reporting units. Based on the Company’s assessment, the Company determined on the basis of the qualitative and quantitative factors that the fair values of the reporting units were more likely than not greater than their respective carrying values both immediately prior to and following the change in reporting units, and therefore, a quantitative test was not required.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

Exchange rate adjustments resulting from foreign currency transactions are recognized in Net earnings, whereas effects resulting from the translation of financial statements are reflected as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income within equity. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United States with a functional currency other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates and income statement accounts are translated at weighted average exchange rates. Net foreign currency transaction gains or losses were not material in any of the periods presented.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”), which requires enhanced disclosure of certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty while eliminating certain current recognition and measurement accounting guidance. This ASU also requires the disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. ASU No. 2022-02 became effective for the Company’s annual and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2023. The Company has disclosed current-period gross write-offs in Note 3. Financing and Trade Receivables, while the other provisions of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting and in January 2021 issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, to defer the sunset date of ASU 2020-04 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. These ASUs provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to existing guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to facilitate the market transition from existing reference rates, such as the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) which is being phased out, to alternate reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). These standards were effective upon issuance and allowed application to contract changes as early as January 1, 2020. The Company has transitioned all debt that historically referenced LIBOR to alternate reference rates, utilizing certain practical expedients to account for the modifications prospectively.
