Related Party Transactions [Abstract]

Prior to the Separation, the Business was managed and operated in the normal course of business with other affiliates of Holdings. Accordingly, certain shared costs were allocated to the Business and are reflected as expenses in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.

Allocated Centralized Costs

The Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements were prepared on a stand-alone basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Holdings for the periods prior to the Separation.

Prior to the Separation, Holdings incurred corporate costs for services provided to the Business as well as other Holdings businesses. These services included treasury, tax, accounting, human resources, audit, legal, purchasing, information technology and other such services. The costs associated with these services generally included all payroll and benefit costs, as well as overhead costs related to the support functions. Holdings also allocated costs associated with corporate insurance coverage and medical, pension, post-retirement and other health plan costs for employees participating in Holdings sponsored plans. Allocations were based on several utilization measures including headcount, proportionate usage and relative net sales. All such amounts were deemed incurred and settled by the Business in the period in which the costs were recorded.

The allocated centralized costs for the Business were $13.5 million and $31.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. These costs are included in “Selling, general and administrative” in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations.

In the opinion of our management, the expense and cost allocations have been determined on a basis considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or for the benefit received by the Business during periods prior to the Separation. The amounts that would have been or will be incurred on a stand-alone basis could differ from the amounts allocated due to economies of scale, difference in management judgment, a requirement for more or fewer employees or other factors. Management does not believe, however, that it is practicable to estimate what these expenses would have been had the Business operated as an independent entity, including any expenses associated with obtaining any of these services from unaffiliated entities. In addition, the future results of operations, financial position and cash flows could differ materially from the historical results presented herein.

Separation Costs

In connection with the Separation, we have incurred expenses of $0.6 million and $20.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively, recorded in “Selling, general and administrative” in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. Expenses primarily consisted of professional service fees. There were no allocated expenses in connection with the Separation for the years ended December 31, 2022.

Cash Management and Financing. Prior to the Separation, the Business participated in Holdings’ centralized cash management and daily cash sweeps. Disbursements were made through centralized accounts payable systems which were operated by Holdings. Cash receipts were transferred to centralized accounts, which were also maintained by Holdings. As cash was received and disbursed by Holdings, it was accounted for by the Business through “Crane Net Investment.” Historically, Holdings had centrally managed and swept cash for most domestic and certain European entities. However, certain legal entities did not participate in Holdings’ centralized cash management program for a variety of reasons.

As a result of the Separation, a one-time cash dividend of $275 million was issued on April 3, 2023, prior to the Separation, from SpinCo to Holdings, as well as a cash transfer of $84 million from Holdings to us. These contributions of net assets are recorded on the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Changes in Equity through “Crane Net Investment.”

Accounts Receivable and Payable. Certain related party transactions between the Business and Holdings have been included within “Crane Net Investment” in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Changes in Equity in the historical periods presented when the related party transactions were not settled in cash. We recorded related party interest expense related to the loan activity with Holdings and its affiliates of $2.5 million, $14.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively, which are included in the Business’ results as “Related party interest expense” in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. The total effect of the settlement of these related party transactions is reflected with “Net transfers to Crane” as a financing activity in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Cash Flows.

Additionally, after the Separation, SpinCo and its subsidiaries were identified as related parties. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, we have net outstanding receivables with SpinCo and its subsidiaries of $0.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to the transition services agreement and outstanding receivables of $0.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively, related to indemnification under the tax matters agreement.
