Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

Nordco

On March 31, 2021, the Company acquired Nordco, a leading North American supplier of new, rebuilt and used maintenance of way equipment. Nordco's products and services portfolio includes mobile railcar movers and ultrasonic rail flaw detection technologies. The purchase price paid for 100% ownership of Nordco was approximately $410 million.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the Nordco assets acquired and liabilities assumed:


In millions
Assets acquired
Cash and cash equivalents	$	5
Accounts receivable	23
Inventory	34
Other current assets	2
Property, plant and equipment	17
Goodwill	215
Other intangible assets	168
Other noncurrent assets	12
Total assets acquired	476
Liabilities assumed
Current liabilities	20
Noncurrent liabilities	46
Total liabilities assumed	66
Net assets acquired	$	410

The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined using the income, cost and market approaches. Discounted cash flow models were used to estimate the fair values of acquired intangibles. The fair value measurements were primarily based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Intangible assets acquired include customer relationships and acquired technology that are subject to amortization, and trade names that were assigned an indefinite life and are not subject to amortization. Contingent liabilities assumed as part of the transaction were not material.

Goodwill was calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the net assets acquired, and represents the assembled workforce and the future economic benefits, including synergies, that are expected to be achieved as a result of the acquisition. The purchased goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The results of this business since the date of acquisition are reported within the Freight Segment and the Services product line. The pro forma impact on Wabtec’s sales and results of operations, including the pro forma effect of events that are directly attributable to the acquisition, was not significant.

The Company also made smaller acquisitions in prior periods not listed above which are individually and collectively immaterial.
