Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules and regulations, certain footnotes or other financial information normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted. The financial statements represent our accounts after the elimination of intercompany transactions and, in our opinion, include the adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring items) necessary for their presentation. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these Notes pertain to continuing operations only (see Note 3 for information on discontinued operations).
Variable Interest Entity	We account for investments in unconsolidated companies where we exercise significant influence but do not have control using the equity method. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”), we perform a qualitative analysis that considers the design of the VIE, the nature of our involvement and the variable interests held by other parties to determine which party has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and which party has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. All of our VIE's are immaterial, individually and in aggregate, to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Change in Accounting Method	During the fourth quarter of 2021, as a means of harmonizing our accounting method for inventory across all of our businesses, we converted the inventory accounting for certain domestic businesses within our HVAC reportable segment from the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method to the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. This change in accounting has been retrospectively applied to our condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 8 for additional information.Inventories include material, labor and factory overhead costs and are reduced, when necessary, to estimated net realizable values.
Use of Estimates	Preparing financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The unaudited information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year results.
Fiscal Period	We establish actual interim closing dates using a fiscal calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on the Saturday closest to the end of the first calendar quarter, with the second and third quarters being 91 days in length. Our fourth quarter ends on December 31. The interim closing dates for the first, second and third quarters of 2022 are April 2, July 2, and October 1, compared to the respective April 3, July 3 and October 2, 2021 dates. We had one less day in the first quarter of 2022 and will have one more day in the fourth quarter of 2022 than in the respective 2021 periods. It is not practicable to estimate the impact of the one less day on our consolidated operating results for the nine months ended October 1, 2022, when compared to the consolidated operating results for the 2021 respective period.
Reclassification	Reclassification of Prior-Year Amounts Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation, including amounts related to the inclusion of DBT within discontinued operations and the change from the LIFO method of inventory accounting. Correction of Prior-Year Classification Subsequent to issuance of the December 31, 2021 financial statements, management concluded that the impairment charge of $24.3 related to our ULC business’ goodwill and intangible assets mentioned above should have been reported in a separate line item within operating income. These amounts, which were previously classified within “Other operating (income) expense, net,” have been reclassified to “Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets” for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021. As a result of this correction, “Other operating (income) expense, net” for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021 reflects income of $24.3 and $21.6, respectively, whereas the expense disclosed prior to reclassification for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021 was $0.0 and $2.7, respectively. The reclassification for the year ended December 31, 2021 will also be reflected within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2022.
New Accounting Pronouncements	NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The following is a summary of new accounting pronouncements that apply or may apply to our business. The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) is scheduled to be discontinued on June 30, 2023. In an effort to address the various challenges created by such discontinuance, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued two amendments to existing guidance, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04 and No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform. The amended guidance is designed to provide relief from the accounting analysis and impacts that may otherwise be required for modifications to agreements (e.g., loans, debt securities, derivatives, etc.) necessitated by the reference rate reform. It also provides optional expedients to enable companies to continue to apply hedge accounting to certain hedging relationships impacted by the reference rate reform. Application of the guidance in the amendments is optional, is only available in certain situations, and is only available for companies to apply until December 31, 2022. In conjunction with entering into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) on August 12, 2022, we adopted this guidance with no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 12 for additional information on the Credit Agreement. In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU requires acquiring entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. This guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of adopting this guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements will depend on business combinations occurring on or after the effective date. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method. This ASU allows multiple hedged layers to be designated for a single closed portfolio of financial assets or one or more beneficial interests secured by a portfolio of financial instruments. This guidance applies to all entities that elect to apply the portfolio layer method of hedge accounting in accordance with Topic 815 and is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which requires enhanced disclosure of certain loan refinancing and restructuring by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty while eliminating certain current recognition and measurement accounting guidance. This guidance also requires the disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and allows for early adoption in any interim period after issuance. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. This guidance also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The guidance also requires the following disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions: 1) the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions reflected in the balance sheet; 2) the nature and remaining duration of the restriction(s); and 3) the circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restriction(s). The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and allows for early adoption in any interim period after issuance. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	We review goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually during the fourth quarter in conjunction with our annual financial planning process, with such testing based primarily on events and circumstances existing as of the end of the third quarter. In addition, we test goodwill for impairment on a more frequent basis if there are indications of potential impairment. In reviewing goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, we initially perform a qualitative analysis. If there is an indication of impairment, we then perform a quantitative analysis. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indication of impairment has occurred between annual testing dates. Such indication may include: a significant decline in expected future cash flows; a significant adverse change in legal factors or the business climate; unanticipated competition; and a more likely than not expectation of selling or disposing all, or a portion, of a reporting unit. As indicated in Note 1, we concluded during the third quarter of 2021 that the operating and financial milestones related to the ULC contingent consideration would not be achieved, resulting in the reversal of the related liability of $24.3, with the offset to “Other operating (income) expense, net.” We also concluded that the lack of achievement of these milestones, along with lower than anticipated future cash flows, were indicators of potential impairment related to ULC’s indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. As such, we performed a quantitative analysis on ULC’s indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill during the third quarter of 2021. Based on such analysis, we determined that the carrying value of ULC’s net assets exceeded the implied fair value of the business. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge to “Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets” of $24.3 during the quarter, with $23.3 related to goodwill and the remainder to trademarks. The total goodwill of ULC was $12.0 as of October 1, 2022. A change in assumptions used in ULC's quantitative analysis (e.g., projected revenues and profit growth rates, discount rates, industry price multiples, etc.) could result in ULC's estimated fair value being less than the carrying value of its net assets. In addition to ULC, the fair values of Sealite, ECS, Cincinnati Fan and ITL, acquisitions in 2021 and thus far in 2022, approximate their respective carrying values. If any of these reporting units are unable to achieve their current financial forecast, we may be required to record an impairment charge in a future period related to their goodwill and/or indefinite-lived intangible assets. We perform our annual trademarks impairment testing during the fourth quarter, or on a more frequent basis, if there are indications of potential impairment. The fair value of our trademarks is based on applying estimated royalty rates to projected revenues, with resulting cash flows discounted at a rate of return that reflects current market conditions (fair value based on unobservable inputs - Level 3, as defined in Note 17). The primary basis for these projected revenues is the annual operating plan for each of the related businesses, which is prepared in the fourth quarter of each year.
Currency Forward Contracts	Currency Forward Contracts We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries and, as a result, are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency-denominated cash flows and to minimize the impact of changes as a result of currency fluctuations. Our principal currency exposures relate to the South African Rand, British Pound Sterling (“GBP”), and Euro. From time to time, we enter into forward contracts to manage the exposure on contracts with forecasted transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and to manage the risk of transaction gains and losses associated with assets/liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries (“FX forward contracts”).
Potential Uncertain Positions	We perform reviews of our income tax positions on a continuous basis and accrue for potential uncertain positions when we determine that an uncertain position meets the criteria of the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification. Accruals for these uncertain tax positions are recorded in “Income taxes payable” and “Deferred and other income taxes” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the expectation as to the timing of when the matters will be resolved. As events change and resolutions occur, these accruals are adjusted, such as in the case of audit settlements with taxing authorities. During the second quarter of 2021, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) concluded its audit of our 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 federal income tax returns. We believe contingencies related to the subsequent returns are adequately provided for. State income tax returns generally are subject to examination for a period of three to five years after filing the respective tax returns. The impact on such tax returns of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states. We have various state income tax returns in the process of examination. We believe any uncertain tax positions related to these examinations have been adequately provided for. We have various foreign income tax returns under examination. We believe that any uncertain tax positions related to these examinations have been adequately provided for. An unfavorable resolution of one or more of the above matters could have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows in the quarter and year in which an adjustment is recorded or the tax is due or paid. As audits and examinations are still in process, the timing of the ultimate resolution and any payments that may be required for the above matters cannot be determined at this time. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted into law and provides changes to various tax laws that impact businesses. We do not believe these changes impact our current and deferred income tax balances; therefore, no resulting adjustments have been recorded to such balances as of October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021. As provided within the CARES Act, we deferred payments of our social security payroll taxes for the period March 27, 2020 to December 31, 2020, with such deferral totaling $3.7 as of October 1, 2022. This amount is required to be paid by the end of 2022.
Fair Value	Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: •Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. •Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. •Level 3 — Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets — Certain of our non-financial assets are subject to impairment analysis, including long-lived assets, indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. We review the carrying amounts of such assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable or at least annually for indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. Any resulting asset impairment would require that the instrument be recorded at its fair value. During the quarter ended October 2, 2021, we concluded that the lack of achievement of the milestones mentioned above for the ULC acquisition, along with lower than anticipated future cash flows, were indicators of potential impairment related to ULC’s indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. As such, we performed a quantitative analysis on ULC’s indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill during the third quarter of 2021. Based on such analysis, we determined that the carrying value of ULC’s net assets exceeded the implied fair value of the business. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge to “Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets” of $24.3 during the quarter, with $23.3 related to goodwill and the remainder to trademarks. Refer to Note 9 for additional details. Valuation Methods Used to Measure Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Derivative Financial Instruments — Our financial derivative assets and liabilities include commodity contracts (until the sale of Transformer Solutions), interest rate swaps, and FX forward contracts, valued using valuation models based on observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and the credit risk of our counterparties, which comprise investment-grade financial institutions. Based on these inputs, the derivative assets and liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. We have not made any adjustments to the inputs obtained from the independent sources. Based on our continued ability to enter into forward contracts, we consider the markets for our fair value instruments active. We primarily use the income approach, which uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount. As of October 1, 2022, there has been no significant impact to the fair value of our derivative liabilities due to our own credit risk, as the related instruments are collateralized under our senior credit facilities. Similarly, there has been no significant impact to the fair value of our derivative assets based on our evaluation of our counterparties’ credit risks.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules and regulations, certain footnotes or other financial information normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted. The financial statements represent our accounts after the elimination of intercompany transactions and, in our opinion, include the adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring items) necessary for their presentation. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these Notes pertain to continuing operations only (see Note 3 for information on discontinued operations).

Variable Interest Entity

We account for investments in unconsolidated companies where we exercise significant influence but do not have control using the equity method. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”), we perform a qualitative analysis that considers the design of the VIE, the nature of our involvement and the variable interests held by other parties to determine which party has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and which party has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. All of our VIE's are immaterial, individually and in aggregate, to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Change in Accounting Method

During the fourth quarter of 2021, as a means of harmonizing our accounting method for inventory across all of our businesses, we converted the inventory accounting for certain domestic businesses within our HVAC reportable segment from the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method to the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. This change in accounting has been retrospectively applied to our condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 8 for additional information.Inventories include material, labor and factory overhead costs and are reduced, when necessary, to estimated net realizable values.

Use of Estimates

Preparing financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The unaudited information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year results.

Fiscal Period

We establish actual interim closing dates using a fiscal calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on the Saturday closest to the end of the first calendar quarter, with the second and third quarters being 91 days in length. Our fourth quarter ends on December 31. The interim closing dates for the first, second and third quarters of 2022 are April 2, July 2, and October 1, compared to the respective April 3, July 3 and October 2, 2021 dates. We had one less day in the first quarter of 2022 and will have one more day in the fourth quarter of 2022 than in the respective 2021 periods. It is not practicable to estimate the impact of the one less day on our consolidated operating results for the nine months ended October 1, 2022, when compared to the consolidated operating results for the 2021 respective period.

Reclassification

Reclassification of Prior-Year Amounts

Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation, including amounts related to the inclusion of DBT within discontinued operations and the change from the LIFO method of inventory accounting.

Correction of Prior-Year Classification

Subsequent to issuance of the December 31, 2021 financial statements, management concluded that the impairment charge of $24.3 related to our ULC business’ goodwill and intangible assets mentioned above should have been reported in a separate line item within operating income. These amounts, which were previously classified within “Other operating (income) expense, net,” have been reclassified to “Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets” for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021. As a result of this correction, “Other operating (income) expense, net” for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021 reflects income of $24.3 and $21.6, respectively, whereas the expense disclosed prior to reclassification for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021 was $0.0 and $2.7, respectively. The reclassification for the year ended December 31, 2021 will also be reflected within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2022.

New Accounting Pronouncements

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The following is a summary of new accounting pronouncements that apply or may apply to our business.

The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) is scheduled to be discontinued on June 30, 2023. In an effort to address the various challenges created by such discontinuance, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued two amendments to existing guidance, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04 and No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform. The amended guidance is designed to provide relief from the accounting analysis and impacts that may otherwise be required for modifications to agreements (e.g., loans, debt securities, derivatives, etc.) necessitated by the reference rate reform. It also provides optional expedients to enable companies to continue to apply hedge accounting to certain hedging relationships impacted by the reference rate reform. Application of the guidance in the amendments is optional, is only available in certain situations, and is only available for companies to apply until December 31, 2022. In conjunction with entering into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) on August 12, 2022, we adopted this guidance with no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 12 for additional information on the Credit Agreement.

This guidance applies to all entities that elect to apply the portfolio layer method of hedge accounting in accordance with Topic 815 and is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which requires enhanced disclosure of certain loan refinancing and restructuring by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty while eliminating certain current recognition and measurement accounting guidance. This guidance also requires the disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for

financing receivables and net investments in leases. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and allows for early adoption in any interim period after issuance. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value.

The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and allows for early adoption in any interim period after issuance. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We review goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually during the fourth quarter in conjunction with our annual financial planning process, with such testing based primarily on events and circumstances existing as of the end of the third quarter. In addition, we test goodwill for impairment on a more frequent basis if there are indications of potential impairment.

Such indication may include: a significant decline in expected future cash flows; a significant adverse change in legal factors or the business climate; unanticipated competition; and a more likely than not expectation of selling or disposing all, or a portion, of a reporting unit.

As indicated in Note 1, we concluded during the third quarter of 2021 that the operating and financial milestones related to the ULC contingent consideration would not be achieved, resulting in the reversal of the related liability of $24.3, with the offset to “Other operating (income) expense, net.” We also concluded that the lack of achievement of these milestones, along with lower than anticipated future cash flows, were indicators of potential impairment related to ULC’s indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. As such, we performed a quantitative analysis on ULC’s indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill during the third quarter of 2021.

As a result, we recorded an impairment charge to “Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets” of $24.3 during the quarter, with $23.3 related to goodwill and the remainder to trademarks.

The total goodwill of ULC was $12.0 as of October 1, 2022. A change in assumptions used in ULC's quantitative analysis (e.g., projected revenues and profit growth rates, discount rates, industry price multiples, etc.) could result in ULC's estimated fair value being less than the carrying value of its net assets. In addition to ULC, the fair values of Sealite, ECS, Cincinnati Fan and ITL, acquisitions in 2021 and thus far in 2022, approximate their respective carrying values. If any of these reporting units are unable to achieve their current financial forecast, we may be required to record an impairment charge in a future period related to their goodwill and/or indefinite-lived intangible assets.

We perform our annual trademarks impairment testing during the fourth quarter, or on a more frequent basis, if there are indications of potential impairment. The fair value of our trademarks is based on applying estimated royalty rates to projected revenues, with resulting cash flows discounted at a rate of return that reflects current market conditions (fair value based on unobservable inputs - Level 3, as defined in Note 17). The primary basis for these projected revenues is the annual operating plan for each of the related businesses, which is prepared in the fourth quarter of each year.

Currency Forward Contracts

We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries and, as a result, are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency-denominated cash flows and to minimize the impact of changes as a result of currency fluctuations. Our principal currency exposures relate to the South African Rand, British Pound Sterling (“GBP”), and Euro.

From time to time, we enter into forward contracts to manage the exposure on contracts with forecasted transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and to manage the risk of transaction gains and losses associated with assets/liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries (“FX forward contracts”).

Potential Uncertain Positions

We perform reviews of our income tax positions on a continuous basis and accrue for potential uncertain positions when we determine that an uncertain position meets the criteria of the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification. Accruals for these uncertain tax positions are recorded in “Income taxes payable” and “Deferred and other income taxes” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the expectation as to the timing of when the matters will be resolved. As events change and resolutions occur, these accruals are adjusted, such as in the case of audit settlements with taxing authorities.

During the second quarter of 2021, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) concluded its audit of our 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 federal income tax returns. We believe contingencies related to the subsequent returns are adequately provided for.

State income tax returns generally are subject to examination for a period of three to five years after filing the respective tax returns. The impact on such tax returns of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states. We have various state income tax returns in the process of examination. We believe any uncertain tax positions related to these examinations have been adequately provided for.

We have various foreign income tax returns under examination. We believe that any uncertain tax positions related to these examinations have been adequately provided for.

An unfavorable resolution of one or more of the above matters could have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows in the quarter and year in which an adjustment is recorded or the tax is due or paid. As audits and examinations are still in process, the timing of the ultimate resolution and any payments that may be required for the above matters cannot be determined at this time.

Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”)

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted into law and provides changes to various tax laws that impact businesses. We do not believe these changes impact our current and deferred income tax balances; therefore, no resulting adjustments have been recorded to such balances as of October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

As provided within the CARES Act, we deferred payments of our social security payroll taxes for the period March 27, 2020 to December 31, 2020, with such deferral totaling $3.7 as of October 1, 2022. This amount is required to be paid by the end of 2022.

Fair Value

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

•Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

•Level 3 — Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets — Certain of our non-financial assets are subject to impairment analysis, including long-lived assets, indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. We review the carrying amounts of such assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable or at least annually for indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. Any resulting asset impairment would require that the instrument be recorded at its fair value.

During the quarter ended October 2, 2021, we concluded that the lack of achievement of the milestones mentioned above for the ULC acquisition, along with lower than anticipated future cash flows, were indicators of potential impairment related to ULC’s indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. As such, we performed a quantitative analysis on ULC’s indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill during the third quarter of 2021. Based on such analysis, we determined that the carrying value of ULC’s net assets exceeded the implied fair value of the business. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge to “Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets” of $24.3 during the quarter, with $23.3 related to goodwill and the remainder to trademarks. Refer to Note 9 for additional details.

Valuation Methods Used to Measure Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Derivative Financial Instruments — Our financial derivative assets and liabilities include commodity contracts (until the sale of Transformer Solutions), interest rate swaps, and FX forward contracts, valued using valuation models based on observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and the credit risk of our counterparties, which comprise investment-grade financial institutions. Based on these inputs, the derivative assets and liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. We have not made any adjustments to the inputs obtained from the independent sources. Based on our continued ability to enter into forward contracts, we consider the markets for our fair value instruments active. We primarily use the income approach, which uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount.

As of October 1, 2022, there has been no significant impact to the fair value of our derivative liabilities due to our own credit risk, as the related instruments are collateralized under our senior credit facilities. Similarly, there has been no significant impact to the fair value of our derivative assets based on our evaluation of our counterparties’ credit risks.
