Strategy
The Company seeks to create value for its key stakeholders – its customers, its shareholders and its associates – by continuing to transform our business into a faster-growing, higher margin, more cash generative and higher return operating company, including by deploying capital towards select and highly synergistic M&A activities. We expect to continue this transformation for many years to come. The primary aspects of our strategy to further our transformation include:
•Leveraging our 80/20 Initiatives to accelerate profitable growth. Our 80/20 initiatives encompass broadly-applicable, data-driven processes used to identify the select inputs that drive a majority of the related outputs, which we often apply to products or customers in order to focus our resources on the most valuable opportunities. Our 80/20 initiatives are embedded in the fabric of everything we do as a company, but particularly in aligning our product and service offerings to what our customers need and value – an alignment we measure on several metrics, but especially on our gross margins.
•Deploying the Regal Rexnord Business System (‘‘RBS’’). RBS is our framework for continuous improvement, and it includes a set of tools, regularly deployed through thousands of targeted, continuous improvement events, or Kaizens, to systematically remove waste, variation and overburden from all our processes. Our disciplined use of RBS, in combination with our 80/20 initiatives, is critical to our strategy for driving profitable growth.
•Raising our exposure to markets with secular growth tailwinds. We are focused on growing our position in prioritized secular growth markets, including some with strong regulatory tailwinds tied to rising energy efficiency requirements. These markets include the food and beverage, alternative energy, aerospace, water, warehouse/eCommerce, pharmaceutical and data center markets. We plan to direct a significant portion of our growth investments to end markets with secular growth characteristics.
•Maintaining a strong portfolio of products and long-standing brands. Many of our products are characterized by technology leadership and reflect the Company’s deep application expertise. We regularly invest in our product portfolio to ensure that we are selling products that our customers value – a strategic directive embodied in our Regal Rexnord value of driving Innovation with Purpose. To this end, we except to double our new product vitality in the medium term with the majority of new product introductions focused on serving secular growth markets, expanding our industrial powertrain offering, supporting rising demand for greater energy efficiency, and/or leveraging digital capabilities to enhance performance.
•Providing a broader offering of increasingly robust sub-systems. One of our key product-related growth initiatives is selling more sub-systems, which integrate multiple products or components into a value-added solution. One of our
9
principal strategic initiatives in this regard is selling industrial powertrains, which combine our electric motors with the critical power transmission components that connect the motor to whatever it is powering, sold as a bundled solution. By engineering our components into integrated sub-systems, we are able to provide our customers with greater reliability, energy efficiency and enhanced data analytics. A dedicated powertrain solutions team leverages relevant product, technology and application expertise from across our four segments to provide a single point of contact for our customers to design and procure these sub-systems.
•Utilizing our flexible global manufacturing presence. Our global manufacturing base consists of more than 100 manufacturing locations across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and the rest of the world. Our ability to shift production between locations has helped us navigate geopolitical and supply-chain related disruptions, and provide better service levels to our customers, including better product availability and shorter lead times. We expect our flexible global manufacturing footprint will provide similar flexibility in the future.
•Continuing to generate strong profitability and free cash flows to reduce leverage. We expect to continue to maintain our long track record of strong free cash flow generation and de-leveraging post acquisitions.
•Realizing synergies from our M&A transactions. Our merger with the Rexnord PMC business and our acquisition of Arrowhead, both of which are discussed in additional detail below, are generating significant revenue and cost synergies, which we expect will accelerate our organic top line growth and benefit our adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margins, net income, and free cash flow.
•Ongoing portfolio assessment. We review our business portfolio on an ongoing basis to ensure that it continues to align with our growth strategy. In November 2022, we announced our intention to explore strategic alternatives for the global motors and generators portion of our Industrial Systems segment, because this portion of our portfolio may no longer align with our growth strategy. As of the date of this filing, our strategic review remains underway, and may or may not result in a decision to divest this portion of our business.

Products are shipped from these facilities to our customers utilizing common carriers. We also operate or partner with numerous warehouse and distribution facilities in our global markets to service the needs of our customers. In addition, we have select manufacturer representatives' warehouses located in specific geographic areas to serve local customers.
We derive a significant portion of revenue from our OEM customers. In our HVAC business, a large portion of our sales are to key OEM customers which makes our relationship with each of these customers important to our business. We have long standing relationships with these customers and we expect these customer relationships will continue for the foreseeable future. Despite this relative concentration, we had no customer that accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated net sales in fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021 or fiscal 2020.
Many of our motors are incorporated into residential applications that OEMs sell to end users. The number of installations of new and replacement HVAC systems, pool pumps and related components is higher during the spring and summer seasons due to the increased use of air conditioning and swimming pools during warmer months. As a result, our revenues tend to be higher in the second and third quarters.

As of December 30, 2017,31, 2022, our backlog was $447.2$1,242.7 million, as compared to $355.8$1,214.5 million on December 31, 2016.January 1, 2022. We believe that virtually all of our backlog will be shipped in 2018.fiscal 2023.
Patents, Trademarks and Licenses
We own a number of United StatesUS patents and foreign patents relating to our businesses. While we believe that our patents provide certain competitive advantages, we do not consider any one patent or group of patents essential to our business as a whole. We also use various registered and unregistered trademarks, and we believe these trademarks are significant in the marketing of most of our products. However, we believe the successful manufacture and sale of our products generally depends more upon our technological, manufacturing and marketing skills.
At the end of fiscal 2017,2022, we employed approximately 23,600 employees26,000 full-time associates worldwide. Of those employees,associates, approximately 10,50010,000 were located in Mexico; approximately 5,4006,000 in the United States;US; approximately 3,8003,000 in China; approximately 1,3003,000 in India; and approximately 2,6004,000 in the rest of the world.
We feel that our associates are our most valuable assets and consider our employeeassociate relations to be very good. Our objective is to create a high-performing organization by attracting and retaining high-quality, diverse talent and creating an environment in which all associates have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
The core goal of our performance management process is to develop and maintain a high-performing organization that is positioned to meet our business objectives. Creating a high-performing organization requires associates and managers to exhibit transparency in their day-to-day interactions, and use data to drive decision-making and accountability. Our performance management process focuses on enabling associates and managers to gain alignment through:
•a structured annual goal-setting process where managers and associates work collaboratively to develop specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time bound (SMART) goals that align with our overarching business objectives and our company values;
•clear, organization-wide expectations that managers and associates monitor progress toward completion of their SMART goals with regular coaching sessions and periodic evaluations; and
•an annual performance assessment that provides a direct link between the associate’s pay and performance.
13
In addition to our focus on performance, we also have a strong commitment to our company values of integrity, responsibility, diversity and inclusion, customer success, innovation with purpose, continuous improvement, performance, and a passion to win, all with a sense of urgency. We regularly promote these values from the top down. In addition to instilling our corporate values as a key part of associate life, we promote a commitment to ethics and compliance among our workforce through our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (our "Code"). In 2022, 93.6% of our global workforce (including employees, temporary employees and contractors) completed training on our Code during our annual training period.
As mentioned above, diversity and inclusion are rooted in our company values. We believe that we are at our best when we bring to bear the unique perspectives, experiences, backgrounds and ideas of our associates. We seek a workforce that reflects the communities in which we operate, and strive to create diverse, equal and inclusive workplaces where all of our associates have the opportunity to achieve their full potential. In 2021, as a sign of our commitment to this goal, we joined the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion, which is the largest CEO-driven organization committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace, and also signed the National Association of Manufacturers Pledge for Action to cement our commitment to advancing justice, equality and opportunity for all people of color.
We are also committed to improving the health and well-being of our associates. Our US wellness program was established in 2008 and is continuously evolving to better educate, motivate and reward our associates for maintaining and achieving healthy measures. During our wellness plan year running from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022, 59% of our US associates participated in on-site biometric screening that provides them with key metrics such as BMI, blood pressure, and triglyceride, cholesterol and blood glucose levels. This represents an increase of 7% compared with our prior wellness plan year.
As a company, we believe that our value of responsibility requires community engagement, and we encourage our associates to share in our commitment to the communities where we operate. We have an established charitable foundation, which is governed by an advisory board comprised of our associates. In 2022, the Company and the Company's Charitable Foundation contributed $1,261,200 to charitable organizations, up from $1,083,100 in 2021. In 2021, the Charitable Foundation realigned its giving philosophy to support charitable organizations in more of the communities where our associates live and work globally. The amount we contributed internationally in 2022 (predominately in Mexico given the high concentration of our associates there) represented approximately 33% of our overall contributions, down from approximately 40% in 2021.
Environmental Matters
We believe that positive environmental, social and governance ("ESG")-related business practices strengthen our Company, increase our connection with our stakeholders and help us better serve our customers and the communities in which we operate. In 2022, we announced our commitment to achieving carbon emission neutrality in our operations across scopes 1 and 2 by 2032, to achieving carbon emission neutrality across scopes 1, 2 and 3 by 2050, and to pursuing the latter in alignment with science based targets. We are beginning the foundational work to achieve these “net zero” goals by focusing significant time and effort on improving our environmental data reporting and accuracy, outlining a strategy to achieve our environmental impact goals, defining the relevant metrics to track our progress, and establishing a robust governance structure to help drive accountability.

ITEM 1A - RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider each of the risks described below, together with all of the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, before making an investment decision with respect to our securities. The risks described below are not the only risks that could adversely affect our business; other risks currently deemed immaterial or additional risks not currently known to us could also materially and adversely affect us. If any of the following or other risks develop into actual events, our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow could be materially and adversely affected and you may lose all or part of your investment. In certain instances, the exposure of our business to certain of these risks could be different or greater for the combined company after the consummation of the Altra Transaction, and the combined company may become subject to additional or different risks.
Risks Relating to Our Operations and Strategy
We expectdepend on certain key suppliers, and any loss of those suppliers or their failure to meet commitments may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We are dependent on a single or limited number of suppliers for some materials or components required in the manufacture of our products. If any of those suppliers fail to meet their commitments to us in terms of delivery or quality, including by suffering any disruptions at its facilities or in its supply, we may experience cost increases or supply shortages that could result in our inability to meet our customers' requirements, or could otherwise experience an interruption in our operations that could negatively impact our business and results of operations. If we encounter significant supply interruptions, our competitive position could be adversely affected, which may result in depressed sales and profitability.
The COVID-19 outbreak and associated counteracting measures implemented by governments and businesses around the world, as well as subsequent accelerated recovery in global business activity, have increased uncertainty in the global business environment and led to supply chain disruptions and shortages in global markets for commodities, logistics and labor, as well as input cost inflation. Additionally, the effects of climate change, including extreme weather events, long-term changes in temperature levels, water availability, supply costs impacted by increasing energy costs, or energy costs impacted by carbon prices or offsets may exacerbate supply chain constraints and disruption. Resulting supply chain constraints have required, and may continue to require, in certain instances, alternative delivery arrangements and increased costs and could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
Our dependence on, and the price of, raw materials may adversely affect our gross margins.
Many of the products we produce contain key materials such as steel, copper, aluminum and electronics. Market prices for those materials can be volatile due to changes in supply and demand, manufacturing and other costs, regulations and tariffs, economic conditions and other circumstances. We may not be able to offset any increase in commodity costs through pricing actions, productivity enhancements or other means, and increasing commodity costs may have an adverse impact on our gross margins, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Even if we are able to successfully respond to increased commodity costs through pricing actions, our competitive position could be adversely affected, which may result in depressed sales and profitability.
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our business and could continue to have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operation, financial condition, liquidity, customers, suppliers, and the geographies in which we operate.
The COVID-19 outbreak and associated counteracting measures implemented by governments and businesses around the world, as well as subsequent accelerated recovery in global business activity, have increased uncertainty in the global business environment and led to supply chain disruptions and shortages in global markets for commodities, logistics and labor, as well as input cost inflation. The impact of COVID-19 on the global economy and our customers, as well as recent volatility in commodity markets, has negatively impacted demand for our products and could continue to do so in the future. Its effects could also result in further disruptions to our manufacturing operations, including higher rates of employee absenteeism, and to our supply chain, which could continue to negatively impact our ability to meet customer demand. COVID-19 lockdowns in China during fiscal 2022 disrupted our Chinese manufacturing operations and negatively impacted demand for our products in the region. Significant increases in COVID-19 infections in that geographic region may continue to disrupt our Chinese manufacturing operations, impact demand for our products, and could also lead to additional supply chain disruptions and commercial challenges. The extent to which COVID-19 will continue to impact our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity is uncertain and will depend on future developments, including the spread, resurgence and duration of the virus, and potential further actions taken by governmental authorities.
17
We may incur costs and charges as a result of restructuring activities to reduce on-going costs such as facilities and operations consolidations and workforce reductions that we expect will reduce on-going costs, and those restructuring activities also may be disruptive to our business and may not result in anticipated cost savings.
We have beenexpect to review our overall manufacturing footprint, including potentially consolidating facilities and operations, in an effort to make our business more efficient andefficient. We expect to continue to review our overall manufacturing footprint. We have incurred, and expect in the future to incur additional costs and restructuring charges in connection with such consolidations, divestitures, workforce reductions and other cost reduction measures that have adversely affected and, to the extent incurred in the future wouldcould adversely affect our future earnings and cash flows. Furthermore, such actions may be disruptive to our business. This may result in production inefficiencies, product quality issues, late product deliveries or lost orders as we begin production at consolidated facilities, which would adversely impact our sales levels, operating results and operating margins. In addition, we may not realize the cost savings that we expect to realize as a result of such actions.
Our ability to establish, grow and maintain customer relationships depends in part on our ability to develop new products and product enhancements based on technological innovation.innovation, such as IoT, and marketplace acceptance of new and existing products, including products related to technology not yet adopted or utilized in certain geographic locations in which we do business.
The electric motor and power transmission industries in recent years have seen significant evolution and innovation, particularly with respect to increasing energy efficiency and control enhancements. Our ability to effectively compete in these industries depends in part on our ability to continue to develop new technologies and innovative products and product enhancements.enhancements, including enhancements based on technological innovation such as IoT. Further, many large customers in these industries generally desire to purchase from companies that can offer a broad product range, which means we must continue to develop our expertise in order to design, manufacture and sell these products successfully. This requires that we make significant investments in engineering, manufacturing, customer service and support, research and development and intellectual property protection, and there can be no assurance that in the future we will have sufficient resources to continue to make such investments. If we are unable to meet the needs of our customers for innovative products or product variety, or if our products become technologically obsolete over time due to the development by our competitors of technological breakthroughs or otherwise, our revenues and results of operations may be adversely affected. In addition, we may incur significant costs and devote significant resources to the development of products that ultimately are not accepted in the marketplace, do not provide anticipated enhancements, or do not lead to significant revenue, which may adversely impact our results of operations.
In each of our Climate Solutions and Commercial and Industrial Systems segments, we depend on revenues from several significant customers, and any loss, cancellation or reduction of, or delay in, purchases by these customers may have a material adverse effect on our business.
In each of our Climate Solutions and Commercial Systems segments, we depend on, and expect to continue to depend on, revenues from several significant customers, and any loss, cancellation or reduction of, or delay in, purchases by these customers may have a material adverse effect on our business.
We derive a significant portion of the revenues of our motor businesses from several key OEM customers. Our success will dependdepends on our continued ability to develop and manage relationships with these customers. We have longstanding relationships with these customers and we expect thisthese customer concentrationrelationships will continue for the foreseeable future. Our reliance on sales from customers makes our relationship with each of these customers important to our business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain these key customers. Some of our customers may in the future shift some or all of their purchases of products from us to our competitors or to other sources. The loss of one or more of our large customers, any reduction or delay in sales to these customers, our inability to develop relationships successfully with additional customers, or future price concessions that we may make could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
18
We sell certain products for high volume applications, and any failure of those products to perform as anticipated could result in significant liability and expenses that may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We manufacture and sell a number of products for high volume applications, including electric motors used in pools and spas, residential and commercial heating, ventilation and air conditioning and refrigeration equipment. Any failure of those products to perform as anticipated could result in significant product liability, product recall or rework, or other costs. The costs of product recalls and reworks are not generally covered by insurance.
If we were to experience a product recall or rework in connection with products of high volume applications, our financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
One of our subsidiaries that we acquired in 2007 is subject to numerous claims filed in various jurisdictions relating to certain sub-fractional motors that were primarily manufactured through 2004 and that were included as components of residential and commercial ventilation units manufactured and sold in high volumes by a third party. These ventilation units are subject to regulation by government agencies such as the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”). The claims generally allege that the ventilation units were the cause of fires. Based on the current facts, we cannot assure you that these claims, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our subsidiary's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. We cannot reasonably predict the outcome of these claims, the nature or extent of any CPSC or other remedial actions, if any, that our
subsidiary or we on their behalf may need to undertake with respect to motors that remain in the field, or the costs that may be incurred, some of which could be significant. See Note 12 – Contingencies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $2.0 billion in aggregate debt outstanding under our various financing arrangements, approximately $688.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $571.0 million in available borrowings under our current revolving credit facility. Since December 31, 2022, we have incurred a substantial amount of debt in connection with the Altra Transaction, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition andor results of operations.
We are, from timehave incurred acquisition-related debt financing of approximately $4.7 billion and intend to time, a partyincur $840.0 million in additional term loans under our Credit Agreement to litigation that arises infund the normal coursecash consideration for the Altra Transaction, refinance certain of our business operations, including product warrantyindebtedness and liability claims, contract disputesindebtedness of Altra and environmental, asbestos, employmentpay related fees and expenses. See Note 7 – Debt and Bank Credit Facilities of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Our ability to make required payments of principal and interest on our debt levels will depend on our future performance, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive and other litigation matters.factors that are beyond our control. Our substantially increased indebtedness has the effect, among other things, of reducing our flexibility to changing business and economic conditions. We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability and warranty claims in the event that the use of our products is alleged to have resulted in injury or other damage. While we currently maintain general liability and product liability insurance coverage in amounts that we believe are adequate, we cannot assure you that our business will generate cash flow from operations or that future borrowings
19
will be available under our current credit facilities in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs on a timely basis or at all. Our indebtedness may have important consequences, for example, it could:
•make it more challenging for us to obtain additional financing to fund our business strategy and acquisitions, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital;
•increase our vulnerability to interest rate changes, including with respect to certain of our financing arrangements that bear interest at variable rates, and general adverse economic and industry conditions;
•require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to finance acquisitions and to fund working capital, capital expenditures, manufacturing capacity expansion, business integration, research and development efforts and other general corporate activities;
•limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our markets; and/or
•place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors that have less debt.
In addition, because our debt levels and debt service obligations have increased substantially in connection with the Altra Transaction, we will have less cash flow available for our business operations, product development, capital expenditures, and acquisitions, we could become increasingly vulnerable to general adverse economic and industry conditions and industry rate trends, and our ability to obtain future financing on favorable terms may be ablelimited.
A portion of our indebtedness bears interest at variable rates that are linked to changing market interest rates. As a result, an increase in market interest rates would increase our interest expense and our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness, and our net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing our indebtedness, will correspondingly decrease. We utilize interest rate swaps that involve the exchange of floating for fixed rate interest payments to reduce interest rate volatility. However, we may not maintain interest rate swaps with respect to all of our variable rate indebtedness, and any swaps we enter into may not fully mitigate interest rate risk.
Further, the availability and terms of future financing may depend upon our ability to maintain this insuranceor achieve certain credit ratings on acceptable terms or that this insurance will provide sufficient coverage against potential liabilities that may arise. Any product liability claim may also include the imposition of punitive damages, the awardour senior debt. The credit rating process is contingent upon our credit profile and other factors, many of which pursuantare beyond our control, including methodologies established and interpreted by third-party rating agencies. If we are unable to maintain or achieve certain state laws,credit ratings in the future, our interest expense could increase or our ability to obtain financing on favorable terms could be adversely affected.
Our credit facilities contain financial and restrictive covenants, which require us to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy certain financial condition tests. These covenants could limit our ability to, among other things, borrow additional funds or take advantage of business opportunities, and may require that we take action to reduce our debt or to act in a manner contrary to our business strategies. An event of default under our debt agreements, if not be coveredcured or waived, could result in the acceleration of our indebtedness or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or debt service capability. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources" for more information.
Sales of products incorporated into HVAC systems and other residential applications are seasonal and affected by insurance.Any claims brought against us, withthe weather; mild or without merit, maycooler weather could have an adverse effect on our businessoperating performance.
Many of our motors are incorporated into HVAC systems and resultsother residential applications that OEMs sell to end users. The number of operations asinstallations of new and replacement HVAC systems or components and other residential applications is higher during the spring and summer seasons due to the increased use of air conditioning during warmer months. Mild or cooler weather conditions during the spring and summer season often result in end users deferring the purchase of new or replacement HVAC systems or components. As a result, prolonged periods of potential adverse outcomes, the expenses associated with defending such claims, the diversion of our management's resources and time and the potential adverse effect to our business reputation.
Global climate change and related legal and regulatory developments could negatively affect our business.
The effects of climate change create financial risks to our business. For example, the effects of climate change could disrupt our operations by impacting the availability and the cost of materials needed for manufacturing, exacerbate existing risks to our supply chain and increase insurance and other operating costs. These factors may impact our decisions to construct new facilities or maintain existing facilities in areas most prone to physical climate risks. We could also face indirect financial risks
20
passed through the supply chain and disruptions that could result in increased prices for our products and the resources needed to produce them.
Increased public awareness and concern regarding global climate change has resulted in more regulations designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These regulations are inconsistent, and are rapidly emerging and evolving. If our product portfolio does not align with these regulations, we may be required to make increased research and development and other capital expenditures to improve our product portfolio in order to meet new regulations and standards. Further, our customers and the markets we serve may impose emissions or other environmental standards through regulation, market-based emissions policies or consumer preference that we may not be able to timely meet due to the level of capital investment or technological advancement. While we are committed to continuous improvements to our product portfolio to meet and exceed anticipated regulations and preferences, there can be no assurance that our intellectual propertycommitments will be successful, that our products will be accepted by the market, that proposed regulation or deregulation will not have a negative competitive impact, or that economic returns will reflect our investments in new product development. In addition, the regulatory uncertainty and complexity driven by emerging and evolving regulations could increase our compliance costs, which may impact our results of operations.
As of the date of this filing, we have made several public commitments regarding our intended reduction of carbon emissions, including commitments to achieve Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emission neutrality by 2032, and Scope 3 carbon emission neutrality by 2050, and the establishment of science-based targets to reduce carbon emissions from our operations. Although we intend to meet these commitments, we may be challenged, invalidated, circumventedrequired to expend significant resources to do so, which could increase our operational costs. If we either are unable to meet these commitments, or designed-around, particularly in countries where intellectual property rights are not highly developed or protected. We have incurred in the pastprogress toward our commitments more slowly than expected, then we could incur adverse publicity and may incur in the future significant costs associated with defending challenges to our intellectual property or enforcing our intellectual property rights,reaction from investors, activist groups and other stakeholders, which could adversely impact the perception of our cash flowbrands and our products by current and potential customers, as well as investors, which would in turn adversely impact our results of operations.
Our success depends, in part, on the efforts and abilities of our senior management team and key associates and the contributions of talented associates in various operations and functions, such as engineering, finance, sales, marketing, manufacturing, etc. The skills, experience and industry contacts of our senior management team significantly benefit our operations and administration. The failure to attract or retain members of our senior management team and key talent could have a negative effect on our operating results.
Risks Related to Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestitures
We and Altra may claimbe unable to satisfy the conditions or obtain the approvals required to complete the Altra Transaction.
The consummation of the Altra Transaction is subject to numerous conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, and other closing conditions. Neither Altra nor we can make any assurances that we are infringing their intellectual property rightsthe Altra Transaction will be consummated on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all. Both Altra and we have and will continue to expend time and resources and incur expenses related to the Altra Transaction.
Governmental agencies may not approve the Altra Transaction or may impose conditions to the approval of the Altra Transaction or require changes to the terms of the Altra Transaction. Any such conditions or changes could incur significanthave the effect of delaying completion of the Altra Transaction, imposing costs on or limiting the revenues of the combined company following the completion of the Altra Transaction, or otherwise reducing the anticipated benefits of the Altra Transaction. Certain conditions or changes might cause Altra or us to restructure or terminate the Altra Transaction and, under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay a termination fee of $200 million pursuant to the terms of the Altra Merger Agreement.
The pendency of the Altra Transaction could materially and adversely affect our and Altra's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In connection with the pending Altra Transaction, some of our or Altra's customers or suppliers may delay or defer decisions on continuing or expanding such business dealings, which could materially and adversely affect our revenues, earnings, cash flows and expenses, regardless of whether the Altra Transaction is consummated. Similarly, current and prospective employees of us or Altra may experience uncertainty about their future roles with our Company following the consummation of the Altra Transaction, which may materially and adversely affect each of our and Altra's ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel during the pendency of the Altra Transaction and which may materially and adversely divert attention from the daily
21
activities of our and Altra's existing employees. Any of these matters could materially and adversely affect our and Altra's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our failure to successfully integrate Altra following the completion of the Altra Transaction, or to integrate our past acquisitions and any future acquisitions into our business within expected timetables could adversely affect our future results and the market price of our common stock.
The success of the Altra Transaction will depend, in large part, on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Altra Transaction and on our sales and profitability following the transaction. To realize these anticipated benefits, we must successfully integrate Altra into our businesses. This integration will be prevented from selling certain products.complex and time-consuming, and is subject to a number of uncertainties, and no assurance can be given that the anticipated benefits will be realized or, if realized, the timing of their realization. The failure to successfully integrate and manage the challenges presented by the integration process may result in our failure to achieve some or all of the anticipated benefits of the Altra Transaction.
•the failure to claims from third parties thatimplement our products or technologies infringe on their intellectual property rights or that we have misappropriated intellectual property rights. If we are involved in a dispute or litigation relating to infringement of third party intellectual property rights, we could incur significant costs in defending against those claims. Our intellectual property portfolio may not be useful in asserting a counterclaim, or negotiating a license, in response to a claim of infringement or misappropriation. In addition,business plan following the Altra Transaction;
•lost sales and customers as a result of such claimsour customers or Altra’s customers deciding not to do business with the combined company;
•risks associated with managing our larger and more complex combined company following the Altra Transaction;
•integrating our personnel and Altra’s personnel while maintaining focus on providing consistent, high-quality products and service to customers;
•the loss of infringementkey employees;
•unanticipated issues in integrating manufacturing, logistics, information, communications and other systems;
•unexpected liabilities of Altra;
•possible inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, policies and compensation structures;
•the impact on our internal controls and compliance with the regulatory requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; and
•potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen expenses, delays or misappropriation,regulatory conditions associated with the Altra Transaction.
If any of these events were to occur, our ability to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers and employees or our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Altra Transaction could be adversely affected, or could reduce our sales or earnings or otherwise adversely affect our business and financial results after the Altra Transaction and, as a result, adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Apart from the Altra Transaction, as part of our growth strategy, we could losehave made acquisitions, including our rightsmerger with the Rexnord PMC business, and our acquisition of the Arrowhead business, and expect to technologycontinue to make acquisitions. Our continued growth may depend on our ability to identify and acquire companies that are importantcomplement or enhance our business on acceptable terms, but we may not be able to identify or complete future acquisitions. We may not be able to integrate successfully our recent acquisitions, including Rexnord PMC and Arrowhead, or any future acquisitions, operate these acquired companies profitably, or realize the potential benefits from these acquisitions.
The Company will incur significant costs related to the Altra Transaction, and will continue to incur significant integration costs related to our merger with the Rexnord PMC business, that could have an adverse effect on our liquidity, cash flows and operating results.
The Company has incurred, and expects to continue to incur, significant one-time costs in connection with the Altra Transaction, including the cost of financing, transaction costs, integration costs, and other costs that Company management believes are necessary to realize the anticipated synergies from the Altra Transaction. Whether or be requirednot the Altra Transaction is ultimately consummated, incurring these costs may have an adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, cash flows and operating results in the periods in which they are incurred.
In addition, the Company has incurred, and expects to pay damages or license feescontinue to incur, significant one-time costs related to the integration of the Rexnord PMC business and the achievement of synergies with respect to such business. Although we believe that our projections of these costs and the infringed rights or be requiredcosts related to redesignthe Altra Transaction are based on reasonable assumptions, if such costs are
22
greater than anticipated, then they may have a material adverse effect on our products at substantial cost, any of which could adversely impact ourliquidity, cash flows and operating results of operations.
incurred.
Businesses that we have acquired or that we may acquire in the future, including Altra, the Rexnord PMC business and the Arrowhead business, may have liabilities which are not known to us.
We have assumed liabilities of acquired businesses, including the Rexnord PMC and Arrowhead businesses, and may assume liabilities of businesses that we acquire in the future.future, including Altra. There may be liabilities or risks that we fail, or are unable, to discover, or that we underestimate, in the course of performing our due diligence investigations of acquired businesses. Additionally, businesses that we have acquired or may acquire in the future may have made previous acquisitions, and we will be subject to certain liabilities and risks relating to these prior acquisitions as well. We cannot assure you that our rights to indemnification contained in definitive acquisition agreements that we have entered or may enter into will be sufficient in amount, scope or duration to fully offset the possible liabilities associated with the business or property acquired. Any such liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. As we begin to operate acquired businesses, we may learn additional information about them that adversely affects us, such as unknown or contingent liabilities, issues relating to compliance with applicable laws or issues related to ongoing customer relationships or order demand.
The Reorganization and the Distributions could result in significant tax liability, including as a result of an error in the determination of Overlap Shareholders or subsequent acquisitions of stock of Zurn or us. Under certain circumstances, Land (our wholly owned subsidiary) may be obligated to indemnify Zurn for any such taxes imposed on Zurn.
In connection with our merger with the Rexnord PMC business, Zurn received a tax opinion from its tax counsel (the “Rexnord Tax Opinion”) that includes an opinion to the effect that the Reorganization and indefinite-lived trade name intangibles comprisethe Distributions, will qualify as tax-free to Zurn, Land and the Zurn stockholders, as applicable, for U.S. federal income tax purposes except, in the case of Zurn, to the extent Land’s payment to a subsidiary of Zurn under the terms of the Separation Agreement (the “Land Cash Payment”) exceeds RBS Global Inc.’s adjusted tax basis in Land common stock. The Rexnord Tax Opinion is based on, among other things, certain representations and assumptions as to factual matters and certain covenants made by us, Land and Zurn. Although we believe the representations, assumptions and covenants in the Rexnord Tax Opinion to be true, the failure of any such factual representation, assumption or covenant to be true, correct and complete in all material respects could adversely affect the validity of the opinion. The Rexnord Tax Opinion is not binding on the IRS or the courts, and it is possible that the IRS or the courts may not agree with the opinion. In addition, the Rexnord Tax Opinion is based on current law, and the conclusions in the opinion cannot be relied upon if current law changes with retroactive effect.
The Spin-Off will be taxable to Zurn pursuant to Section 355(e) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended if there is a 50% or greater change in ownership of either Zurn or Land, directly or indirectly, as part of a plan or series of related transactions that include the Spin-Off. For this purpose, any acquisitions of Land or Zurn stock or our stock within the period beginning two years before the Spin-Off and ending two years after the Spin-Off are presumed to be a part of such plan, although we and Zurn may be able to rebut that presumption. Zurn received a private letter ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) (the “IRS Ruling”) with respect to certain tax aspects of the Rexnord PMC transactions, including matters relating to the nature and extent of shareholders who may be counted for tax purposes as “Overlap Shareholders” (as such term is defined in the Rexnord PMC Merger Agreement) for purposes of determining the exchange ratio for the transaction in the Rexnord PMC Merger Agreement and the overall percentage change in the ownership of Land resulting from the merger of our subsidiary with and into Land. The continuing validity of the IRS Ruling is subject to the accuracy of factual representations and assumptions made in the ruling request. Moreover, the IRS Ruling only describes the time, manner and methodology for measuring Overlap Shareholders and may be subject to varying interpretations.
The actual determination and calculation of Overlap Shareholders was made by us, Zurn and our respective advisors based on the IRS Ruling, but no assurance can be given that the IRS will agree with these determinations or calculations. If the IRS were to determine that the merger of our subsidiary with and into Land, as a result of an error in the determination of Overlap Shareholders, or other acquisitions of Land, Zurn, or our stock, either before or after the Spin-Off, resulted in a 50% or greater change in ownership and were part of a plan or series of related transactions that included the Spin-Off, such determination could result in significant tax liability to Zurn. In certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations, under the Tax Matters Agreement, Land is required to indemnify Zurn for 100% of the taxes that result if the Distributions become taxable as a result of certain actions by us or Land and for 90% of the taxes that result as a result of a miscalculation of the Overlap Shareholders. If this occurs and Land is required to indemnify Zurn, this indemnification obligation could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on us and Land, including with respect to our financial condition and results of operations given that we have guaranteed the indemnification obligations of Land.
Following consummation of our merger with the Rexnord PMC business, we and Land are each required to abide by potentially significant restrictions which could limit our ability to undertake certain corporate actions (such as the issuance of common stock or the undertaking of certain business combinations) that otherwise could be advantageous.
23
The Tax Matters Agreement we entered into in connection with the Rexnord Transaction imposes certain restrictions on us, Land and Zurn during the two-year period following the Spin-Off, subject to certain exceptions, with respect to actions that could cause the Reorganization and the Distributions to fail to qualify for their intended tax treatment. As a result of these
restrictions, our and Land’s ability to engage in certain transactions, such as the issuance or purchase of stock or certain business combinations, may be limited.
If we, Land or Zurn take any enumerated actions or omissions, or if certain events relating to us, Land or Zurn occur that would cause the Reorganization or the Distributions to become taxable, the party whose actions or omissions (or who the event relates to) generally will be required to bear the cost of any resulting tax liability of Zurn (but not its stockholders). If the Reorganization or the Distributions became taxable, Zurn would be expected to recognize a substantial amount of gain, which would result in a material amount of taxes. Any such taxes would be expected to be material to us and could cause our business, financial condition and operating results to suffer. These restrictions may reduce our ability to engage in certain business transactions that otherwise might be advantageous, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition.
We face risks associated with our evaluation of strategic alternatives for the global motors and generators portion of our Industrial Systems operating segment.
As previously disclosed, we are evaluating strategic alternatives for the global motors and generators portion of our Industrial Systems operating segment. The goal of this evaluation is to identify the most value-creating opportunity for our shareholders. Potential risks include the diversion of management's attention from other business concerns, the potential loss of key employees and customers, potential impairment charges or losses if the business were to be divested at a loss, and restructuring and other disposal charges. Any or all of these risks could impact the Company's financial results.
Risks Relating to Our Global Footprint
We operate in the highly competitive global electric motors and controls, power generation and power transmission industries.
The global electric motors and controls, power generation and power transmission industries are highly competitive. We encounter a wide variety of domestic and international competitors due in part to the nature of the products we manufacture and the wide variety of applications and customers we serve. In order to compete effectively, we must retain relationships with major customers and establish relationships with new customers, including those in developing countries. Moreover, in certain applications, customers exercise significant power over business terms. It may be difficult in the short-term for us to obtain new sales to replace any decline in the sale of existing products that may be lost to competitors. Our failure to compete effectively may reduce our revenues, profitability and cash flow, and pricing pressures resulting from competition may adversely impact our profitability.
We have continued to see a trend with certain customers who are attempting to reduce the number of vendors from which they purchase product in order to reduce their costs and diversify their risk. As a result, we may lose market share to our competitors in some of the markets in which we compete.
In addition, some of our competitors are larger and have greater financial and other resources than we do. There can be no assurance that our products will be able to compete successfully with the products of these other companies.
We manufacture a significant portion of our products outside the U.S., and political, societal or economic instability or public health crises may present additional risks to our business.
As of December 31, 2022, approximately 20,000 of our approximate 26,000 total assets,associates and if we determine69 of our principal manufacturing and warehouse facilities were located outside the U.S. International operations generally are subject to various risks, including political, societal and economic instability, local labor market conditions, public health crises, breakdowns in trade relations, the imposition of tariffs and other trade restrictions, lack of reliable legal systems, ownership restrictions, the impact of government regulations, the effects of income and withholding taxes, governmental expropriation or nationalization, and differences in business practices. We may incur increased costs and experience delays or disruptions in product deliveries and payments in connection with international manufacturing and sales that goodwill and indefinite-lived trade name intangibles have become impairedcould cause loss of revenue.
Unfavorable changes in the future,political, regulatory and business climates in countries where we have operations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and financial condition in such years may be materiallycash flows, including, for example, the uncertainty surrounding trade relations between the U.S. and adversely affected.China or the ongoing impacts of China's COVID-19 containment policies.

Moreover, the excessongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has negatively impacted the global economy and led to various economic sanctions being imposed by the U.S., United Kingdom, European Union, and other countries against Russia. While the impacts of cost over the fair market valueconflict have not been material on our operating results to date, it is not possible to predict the broader or longer-term consequences of net assets acquired in business combinations. Indefinite-lived trade name intangibles represent long-standing brands acquired in business combinations and assumed to have indefinite lives. We review goodwill and indefinite-lived trade name intangibles at least annually for impairment and any excess in carrying value over the estimated fair value is chargedthis conflict. Continued escalation of geopolitical tensions related to the resultsconflict could also result in the loss of operations. Our estimatesproperty, supply chain disruptions, significant inflationary pressure on raw material prices and cost and supply of fair value are based on assumptions about the future operating cash flows, growthother resources (such as energy and natural gas), fluctuations in our customers’ buying patterns, credit and capital market disruption which could impact our ability to obtain financing, increase in interest rates discount rates applied to these cash flows and current market estimates of value. A reduction in net income resulting from the write down or impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived trade name intangibles would affect financial results andadverse foreign exchange impacts. These broader consequences could have a material and adverse impact upon the market price ofeffect on our common stock. If we are required to record a significant charge to earnings in our consolidated financial statements because an impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived trade name intangibles is determined, ourcondition, results of operations and cash flows.
Disruptions caused by labor disputes or organized labor activities could adversely affect our business or financial results.
We have a significant number of employees in Europe and other jurisdictions where trade union membership is common. Although we believe that our relations with our employees are strong, if our unionized workers were to engage in a strike, work stoppage or other slowdown in the future, we could experience a significant disruption of our operations, which could interfere with our ability to deliver products on a timely basis and could have other negative effects, such as decreased productivity and increased labor costs. In addition, if a greater percentage of our workforce becomes unionized as a result of legal or regulatory changes which may make union organizing easier, or otherwise, our costs could increase and our efficiency may be affected in a material adverse manner, negatively impacting our business and financial results. Further, many of our direct and indirect customers and their suppliers, and organizations responsible for shipping our products, have unionized workforces and their businesses may be impacted by strikes, work stoppages or slowdowns, any of which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, could be materiallyresults of operations or cash flows.
Economic and adversely affected.Financial Risks
Commodity, currency and interest rate hedging activities may adversely impact our financial performance as a result of changes in global commodity prices, interest rates and currency rates.
We use derivative financial instruments in order to reduce the substantial effects of currency and commodity fluctuations and interest rate exposure on our cash flow and financial condition. These instruments may include foreign currency and commodity forward contracts, currency swap agreements and currency option contracts, as well as interest rate swap agreements. We have entered into, and expect tomay continue to enter into, such hedging arrangements. While limiting to some degree our risk fluctuations in currency exchange, commodity price and interest rates byBy utilizing such hedging instruments, we potentiallymay forgo benefits that might result from other fluctuations in currency exchange, commodity and interest rates. We are also are exposed to the risk that counterparties to hedging contracts will default on their obligations. We manage exposure to counterparty credit risk by limiting our counterparties to major international banks and financial institutions meeting established credit guidelines. However, anyAny default by such counterparties might have an adverse effect on us.
We may suffer losses as a result of foreign currency fluctuations.
The net assets, net earnings and cash flows from our foreign subsidiaries are based on the U.S. dollar equivalent of such amounts measured in the applicable functional currency.
These foreign operations have the potential to impact our financial position due to fluctuations in the local currency arising from the process of re-measuring the local functional currency in the U.S. Dollars. Any increase in the value of the U.S. Dollar in relation to the value of the local currency, whether by means of market conditions or governmental actions such as currency devaluations, will adversely affect our revenues from our foreign operations when translated into U.S. Dollars. Similarly, any decrease in the value of the U.S. Dollar in relation to the value of the local currency will increase our operating costs in foreign operations, to the extent such costs are payable in foreign currency, when translated into U.S. Dollars.
Worldwide economic conditions may adversely affect our industry, business and results of operations.
General economic conditions and conditions in the global financial markets can affect our results of operations. Deterioration in the global economy could lead to higher unemployment, lower consumer spending and reduced investment by businesses, and could lead our customers to slow spending on our products or make it difficult for our customers, our vendors and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities. Worsening economic conditions could also affect the financial viability of our suppliers, some of which could be considered key suppliers. If the commercial, industrial, residential HVAC, power generation and power transmission markets significantly deteriorate, our business, financial condition and results of operations will likely be materially and adversely affected. Some of the industries that we serve are highly cyclical, such as the aerospace, energy and industrial equipment industries. Additionally, our stock price could decrease if investors have concerns that our business, financial condition and results of operations will be negatively impacted by a worldwide economic downturn.
25
We are subject to tax laws and regulations in many jurisdictions and the inability to successfully defend claims from taxing authorities related to our current and/or acquired businesses could adversely affect our operating results and financial position.
A significant amount of our revenue is generated from customers located outside of the U.S., and a substantial portion of our assets and associates are located outside of the U.S. which requires us to interpret the income tax laws and rulings in each of those taxing jurisdictions. Due to the subjectivity of tax laws between those jurisdictions as well as the subjectivity of factual interpretations, our estimates of income tax liabilities may differ from actual payments or assessments. Claims from taxing authorities related to these differences could have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial position.
Our required cash contributions to our pension plans may increase further and we could experience a change in the funded status of our pension plans and the amount recorded in our consolidated balance sheets related to such plans. Additionally, our pension costs could increase in future years.
The funded status of our defined benefit pension plans depends on such factors as asset returns, market interest rates, legislative changes and funding regulations. If the returns on the assets of any of our plans were to decline in future periods, if market interest rates were to decline, if the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation were to require additional contributions to any such plans as a result of acquisitions or if other actuarial assumptions were to be modified, our future required cash contributions and pension costs to such plans could increase. Any such increases could impact our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The need to make contributions to such plans may reduce the cash available to meet our other obligations, including our obligations under our borrowing arrangements or to meet the needs of our business.
Risks Relating to the Legal and Regulatory Environment
We are subject to changes in legislative, regulatory and legal developments involving income and other taxes.
We are subject to U.S. federal, state, and international income, payroll, property, sales and use, fuel, and other types of taxes. Changes in tax rates, enactment of new tax laws, revisions of tax regulations, and claims or litigation with taxing authorities, including claims or litigation related to our interpretation and application of tax laws and regulations, could result in substantially higher taxes, could have a negative impact on our ability to compete in the global marketplace, and could have a significant adverse effect on our results or operations, financial conditions and liquidity.
It is difficult to predict the timing and effect that future tax law changes could have on our earnings both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions. Such changes could cause us to experience an effective tax rate significantly different from previous periods or our current estimates. If our effective tax rate were to increase, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We are subject to litigation, including product liability, asbestos and warranty claims that may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We are, from time to time, a party to litigation that arises in the normal course of our business operations, including product warranty and liability claims, contract disputes and environmental, asbestos, employment and other litigation matters. We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability, asbestos and warranty claims in the event that the use of our products is alleged to have resulted in injury or other damage. As described above, one of our subsidiaries that we acquired in 2007 is subject to numerous claims filed in various jurisdictions relating to certain sub-fractional motors that were primarily manufactured through 2004 and that were included as components of residential and commercial ventilation units manufactured and sold in high volumes by a third party. In addition, certain subsidiaries of ours are co-defendants in various lawsuits in a number of U.S. jurisdictions alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos that was used in certain components of legacy Rexnord PMC business products. The uncertainties of litigation and the uncertainties related to insurance and indemnification coverage make it difficult to accurately predict the ultimate financial effect of these claims. If our insurance or indemnification coverage is not adequate to cover our potential financial exposure, our insurers or indemnitors dispute their obligations to provide coverage, or the actual number or value of claims differs materially from our existing estimates, we could incur material costs that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
While we maintain general liability and product liability insurance coverage in amounts that we believe are reasonable, we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain this insurance on acceptable terms or that this insurance will provide sufficient coverage against potential liabilities that may arise. Any product liability claim may also include the imposition of punitive damages, the award of which, pursuant to certain state laws, may not be covered by insurance. Any claims brought
26
against us, with or without merit, may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations as a result of potential adverse outcomes, the expenses associated with defending such claims, the diversion of our management’s resources and time and the potential adverse effect to our business reputation. See Note 12 – Contingencies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Infringement of our intellectual property by third parties may harm our competitive position, and we may incur significant costs associated with the protection and preservation of our intellectual property.
We own or otherwise have rights in a number of patents and trademarks relating to the products we manufacture, which have been obtained over a period of years, and we expect to actively pursue patents in connection with new product development and to acquire additional patents and trademarks through the acquisitions of other businesses. These patents and trademarks have been of value in the growth of our business and may continue to be of value in the future. Our inability to protect this intellectual property generally, or the illegal breach of some or a large group of our intellectual property rights, would have an adverse effect on our business. In addition, there can be no assurance that our intellectual property will not be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or designed-around, particularly in countries where intellectual property rights are not highly developed or protected. We have incurred in the past, and expect to incur in the future, significant costs associated with defending challenges to our intellectual property or enforcing our intellectual property rights, which could adversely impact our cash flow and results of operations.
Third parties may claim that we are infringing their intellectual property rights and we could incur significant costs and expenses or be prevented from selling certain products.
We may be subject to claims from third parties that our products or technologies infringe on their intellectual property rights or that we have misappropriated intellectual property rights. If we are involved in a dispute or litigation relating to infringement of third party intellectual property rights, we could incur significant costs in defending against those claims. Our intellectual property portfolio may not be useful in asserting a counterclaim, or negotiating a license, in response to a claim of infringement or misappropriation. In addition, as a result of such claims of infringement or misappropriation, we could lose our rights to technology that are important to our business, or be required to pay damages or license fees with respect to the infringed rights or be required to redesign our products at substantial cost, any of which could adversely impact our cash flows and results of operations.
We may incur costs or suffer reputational damage due to improper conduct of our employees,associates, agents or business partners.
We are subject to a variety of domestic and foreign laws, rules and regulations relating to improper payments to government officials, bribery, anti-kickback and false claims rules, competition, export and import compliance, money laundering and data privacy. If our employees,associates, agents or business partners engage in activities in violation of these laws, rules or regulations, we may be subject to civil or criminal fines or penalties or other sanctions, may incur costs associated with government investigations, or may suffer damage to our reputation.
Our operations are highly dependent on information technology infrastructure, and failures, attacks or breaches could significantly affect our business.
We depend heavily on our information technology infrastructure in order to achieve our business objectives. If we experience a problem that impairs this infrastructure, such as a computer virus, a problem with the functioning of an important IT application, or an intentional disruption of our IT systems by a third party, the resulting disruptions could impede our ability to record or process orders, manufacture and ship in a timely manner, or otherwise carry on our business in the ordinary course. Any such events could cause us to lose customers or revenue and could require us to incur significant expense to eliminate these problems and address related security concerns.concerns, including costs relating to investigation and remediation actions.
IT security threats via computer malware and other “cyber attacks,“cyber-attacks,” which are increasing in both frequency and sophistication, could also result in unauthorized disclosures of information, such as customer data, personally identifiable information or other confidential or proprietary material, and create financial liability, subject us to legal or regulatory sanctions, or damage our reputation. Moreover, because the techniques used to gain access to or sabotage systems often are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate the methods necessary to defend against these types of attacks, and we cannot predict the extent, frequency or impact these attacks may have. While we continuously seek to maintain robust information security mechanisms and controls, the impact of a material IT event could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.
27
We are inhave substantially completed the processimplementation of implementing a globaltwo Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) systemsystems that will redesigneach redesigned and deploy adeployed common information system over a periodsystems. As part of several years.our supply chain optimization and footprint repositioning strategies, we will continue to implement ERP systems throughout the business. The process of implementation can be costly and can divert the attention of management from the day-to-day operations of the business. As we implement the ERP system,systems, some elements may not perform as expected. This could have an adverse effect on our business.
Changes in data privacy laws and our ability to comply with them could have a material adverse effect on us.
We collect and store data that is sensitive to us and our industry, businessemployees, customers, dealers and resultssuppliers. A variety of operations.
state, national, foreign and international laws and regulations apply to the collection, use, retention, protection, security, disclosure, transfer and other processing of personal and other data. Many foreign data privacy regulations, including the General economic conditions and conditionsData ProtectionRegulation (the “GDPR”) in the global financial markets can affect our results of operations. DeteriorationEuropean Union, are more stringent than federal regulations in the global economy could leadUnited States. Within the United States, many states are considering adopting, or have already adopted privacy regulations, including, for example, the California Consumer Privacy Act. The applicability of these laws to higher unemployment, lower consumer spendingour business has increased due to our focus on expanding e-commerce offerings. These laws and reduced investment by businesses,regulations are rapidly evolving and changing, and could lead our customers to slow spendinghave an adverse effect on our productsoperations. Companies’ obligations and requirements under these laws and regulations are subject to uncertainty in how they may be interpreted by courts and governmental authorities. The costs of compliance with, and the other burdens imposed by, these and other laws or make it difficult forregulatory actions may increase our customers, our vendors and usoperational costs. In the case of non-compliance with these laws, including the GDPR, regulators have the authority to accurately forecast and plan future business activities. Worsening economic conditions could also affect the financial viabilitylevy significant fines. In addition, if there is a breach of our suppliers, some of whichprivacy, we may consider key suppliers. If the commercial and industrial, residential HVAC, power generation and power transmission markets significantly deteriorate,face litigation or regulatory sanctions, or be required to make notifications under data privacy regulations. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations will likely be materially and adversely affected. Additionally, our stock price could decrease if investors have concerns that our business, financial condition and results of operations will be negatively impacted by a worldwide economic downturn.cash flows.
We may be adversely affected by environmental, health and safety laws and regulations.
We are subject to various laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment and human health and safety and have incurred and will continue toexpect incur capital and other expenditures to comply with these regulations. Failure to comply with any environmental regulations, including more stringent environmental laws that may be imposed in the future, could subject us to future liabilities, fines or penalties or the suspension of production. In addition, if environmental and human health and safety laws and regulations are repealed, made less burdensome or implemented at a later date, demand for our products designed to comply with such regulations may be unfavorably impacted.
General Risks
Our operations can be negatively impacted by natural disasters, terrorism, acts of war, international conflict, political and governmental actions which could harm our business.
Natural disasters, acts or threats of war or terrorism, international conflicts, and the actions taken by the United StatesU.S. and other governments in response to such events could cause damage or disrupt our business operations, our suppliers, or our customers, and could create political or economic instability, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business. Although it is not possible to predict such events or their consequences, these events could decrease demand for our products, could make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver products, or could disrupt our supply chain. We may also be negatively impacted by actions by the United StatesU.S. or foreign governments which could disrupt manufacturing and commercial operations, including policy changes affecting taxation, trade, immigration, currency devaluation, tariffs, customs, border actions and the like.
28
Our stock may be subject to significant fluctuations and volatility.
The market price of shares of our common stock may be volatile. Among the factors that could affect our common stock price are those discussed above under “Risk Factors” as well as:
•domestic and international economic and political factors unrelated to our performance;
•quarterly fluctuation in our operating income and earnings per share results;
•decline in demand for our products;
•significant strategic actions by our competitors, including new product introductions or technological advances;
•fluctuations in interest rates;
•cost increases in energy, raw materials, intermediate components or materials, or labor; and
•changes in revenue or earnings estimates or publication of research reports by analysts.
In addition, stock markets may experience extreme volatility that may be unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As a result of our acquisition of the Rexnord PMC business, we are entitled to indemnification from third parties who are parties to agreements with the Rexnord PMC business against certain contingent liabilities of the Rexnord PMC business, including certain pre-closing environmental liabilities.
We believe that, pursuant to the transaction documents related to the Rexnord PMC business’ acquisition of the Stearns business from Invensys plc (“Invensys”), Invensys (now known as Schneider Electric) is obligated to defend and indemnify us with respect to the matters described below relating to the Ellsworth Industrial Park Site and to various asbestos claims. The indemnity obligations relating to the matters described below are subject, together with indemnity obligations relating to other matters, to an overall dollar cap equal to the purchase price, which is an amount in excess of $900.0 million. In the event that we are unable to recover from Invensys with respect to the matters below, we may be entitled to indemnification from Zurn, subject to certain limitations. The following paragraphs summarize the most significant actions and proceedings:
•In 2002, our subsidiary, Rexnord Industries, LLC (“Rexnord Industries”), was named as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”), together with at least ten other companies, at the Ellsworth Industrial Park Site, Downers Grove, DuPage County, Illinois (the “Site”), by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”), and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“IEPA”). Rexnord Industries’ Downers Grove property is situated within the Ellsworth Industrial Complex. The USEPA and IEPA allege there have been one or more releases or threatened releases of chlorinated solvents and other hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants at the Site, allegedly including but not limited to a release or threatened release on or from Rexnord Industries’ property. The relief sought by the USEPA and IEPA includes further investigation and potential remediation of the Site and reimbursement of USEPA’s past costs. In early 2020, Rexnord Industries entered into an administrative order with the USEPA to do remediation work on its Downers Grove property. Rexnord Industries’ allocated share of past and future costs related to the Site, including for investigation and/or remediation, could be significant. All previously pending property damage and personal injury lawsuits against Rexnord Industries related to the Site have been settled or dismissed. Pursuant to its indemnity obligation, Invensys continues to defend Rexnord Industries in known matters related to the Site, including the costs of the remediation work pursuant to the 2020 administrative order, and has paid 100% of the costs to date. This indemnification right would not protect Rexnord Industries against liabilities related to environmental conditions that were unknown to Invensys at the time of the acquisition of the Stearns business from Invensys.
•Multiple lawsuits (with approximately 350 claimants) are pending in state or federal court in numerous jurisdictions relating to alleged personal injuries due to the alleged presence of asbestos in certain brakes and clutches previously manufactured by the Rexnord PMC business’ Stearns brand of brakes and clutches and/or its predecessor owners. Invensys and FMC, prior owners of the Stearns business, have paid 100% of the costs to date related to the Stearns lawsuits. Similarly, the Rexnord PMC business’ Prager subsidiary is the subject of claims by multiple claimants alleging personal injuries due to the alleged presence of asbestos in a product allegedly manufactured by Prager. However, all these claims are currently on the Texas Multi-district Litigation inactive docket, and we do not believe that they will become active in the future. To date, the Rexnord PMC business’ insurance providers have paid 100% of the costs related to the Prager asbestos matters. We believe that the combination of our insurance coverage and the Invensys indemnity obligations will cover any future costs of these matters.
In connection with our acquisition of the Rexnord PMC business, transaction documents related to the Rexnord PMC business’ acquisition of The Falk Corporation from Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation were assigned to Rexnord Industries, and provide Rexnord Industries with indemnification against certain products-related asbestos exposure liabilities. We believe that, pursuant to such indemnity obligations, Hamilton Sundstrand is obligated to defend and indemnify Rexnord Industries with respect to asbestos claims that may be significant, and that, with respect to these claims, such indemnity obligations are not subject to any
32
time or dollar limitations. The following paragraph summarizes the most significant actions and proceedings for which Hamilton Sundstrand has accepted responsibility:
•Rexnord Industries is a defendant in multiple lawsuits pending in state or federal court in numerous jurisdictions relating to alleged personal injuries due to the alleged presence of asbestos in certain clutches and drives previously manufactured by The Falk Corporation. The ultimate outcome of these lawsuits cannot presently be determined. Hamilton Sundstrand is defending Rexnord Industries in these lawsuits pursuant to its indemnity obligations and has paid 100% of the costs to date.
In addition to the matters described above, we are from time to time, party to litigation and other legal or regulatory proceedings that arise in the normal course of our business operations and the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty, including product warranty and liability claims, contract disputes and environmental, asbestos, intellectual property, employment and other litigation matters. Our products are used in a variety of industrial, commercial and residential applications that subject us to claims that the use of our products is alleged to have resulted in injury or other damage. Many of these matters will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Our management conducts regular reviews, including updates from legal counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise in judgment. We accrue for exposures in amounts that we believe are adequate, and we do not believe that the outcome of any such lawsuit individually or collectively will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The following graph compares the hypothetical total shareholder return (including reinvestment of dividends) on an investment in (1) our common stock, (2) the Standard & Poor's Mid Cap 400 Index, and (3) the Standard & Poor's 400 Electrical Components and Equipment Index, and (4) the Standard & Poor's 400 Industrials Index, for the period January 1, 2013December 30, 2017 through December 31, 2017.2022. In each case, the graph assumes the investment of $100.00 on January 1, 2013.December 30, 2017. We have added the Standard & Poor's 400 Industrials index to the graph and intend for this index to replace the Standard & Poor's 400 Electrical Components and Equipment Index in future years, because we believe it provides a more meaningful comparison to our total shareholder return as a result of the ongoing evolution of our business. Consistent with this rationale, we believe that the Standard & Poor's 400 Industrials Index will continue to align well with our business after the completion of the Altra Transaction.

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Effective for fiscal year 2022, we approved a change in the fiscal year end from a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. We refer to the fiscal year ended December 30, 2017 as "fiscal 2017", December 31, 20162022 as “fiscal 2016"2022", the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022 as “fiscal 2021" and the fiscal year ended January 2, 20162021 as “fiscal 2015"2021". Fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015 all had 52 weeks.
Overview
General
Regal BeloitRexnord Corporation (NYSE: RBC)RRX) (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”), based is a global leader in the engineering and manufacturing of industrial powertrain solutions, power transmission components, electrical motors and electronic controls, air moving products and specialty electrical components and systems, serving customers around the world. Through longstanding technology leadership and an intentional focus on producing more energy-efficient products and systems, we help create a better tomorrow – for our customers and for the planet.
We are headquartered in Beloit, Wisconsin (USA), is a leading manufacturer of electric motors, electrical motion controls, power generation and power transmission products serving markets throughout the world.have manufacturing, sales and service facilities worldwide. As of the end of fiscal 2017,2022, the Company, including its subsidiaries, employsemployed approximately 23,60026,000 people in its global manufacturing, sales, and service facilities and corporate offices throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe and Asia.offices. In 2017,fiscal 2022, we reported annual net sales of $3.4$5.2 billion compared to $3.2$3.8 billion in 2016.fiscal 2021.
Our company is comprised of threefour operating segments: Commercial andSystems, Industrial Systems, Climate Solutions and Power TransmissionMotion Control Solutions.
A description of the threeour four operating segments is as follows:
•Commercial Systems segment designs and Industrial Systems produces mediumfractional to approximately 5 horsepower AC and largeDC motors, electronic variable speed controls, fans, and blowers for commercial and industrial equipment, generator and custom drives and systems.applications. These products serve markets including commercial Heating, Ventilation,building ventilation and Air Conditioning ("HVAC"),HVAC, pool and spa, standbyirrigation, dewatering, agriculture, and critical powergeneral commercial equipment.
•Industrial Systems segment designs and produces integral motors, automatic transfer switches, alternators and switchgear for industrial applications, along with aftermarket parts and kits to support such products. These products serve markets including agriculture, marine, mining, oil and gas, systems.food and beverage, data centers, healthcare, prime and standby power, and general industrial equipment.
•Climate Solutions segment designs and produces small motors, electronic variable speed controls and air moving solutions serving markets including residential and light commercial HVAC, water heaters and commercial refrigeration.
Components of Profit and Loss
Net Sales. We sell our products to a variety of manufacturers, distributors and end users. Our customers consist of a large cross-section of businesses, ranging from Fortune 100 companies to small businesses. A number of our products are sold to original equipment manufacturers,OEMs, who incorporate our products, such as electric motors, into products they manufacture, and many of our products are built to the requirements of our customers. The majority of our sales deriveare derived from direct sales butto customers by sales personnel employed by the Company, however, a significant portion derivesof our sales are derived from sales made by manufacturer’s
36
representatives, who are paid exclusively on commission. Our product sales are made via purchase order, long-term contract, and, in some instances, one-time purchases. Many of our products have broad customer bases, with the levels of concentration of revenues varying from divisionbusiness unit to division.business unit.
Our level of net sales for any given period is dependent upon a number of factors, including (i) the demand for our products; (ii) the strength of the economy generally and the end markets in which we compete; (iii) our customers’ perceptions of our product quality at any given time; (iv) our ability to timely meet customer demands; (v) the selling price of our products; and (vi) the weather. As a result, our total revenue has tended to experience quarterly variations and our total revenue for any particular quarter may not be indicative of future results.
We use the term “organic sales" to refer to sales from existing operations excluding (i) sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition (“Acquisition Sales”), (ii) less the amount of sales attributable to any divested businesses (“acquisition sales”divested/to be exited ("Business To Be Exited"), and (ii)(iii) the impact of foreign currency translation. The impact of foreign currency translation is determined by translating the respective period’s organic sales (excluding acquisition sales) using the same currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior year periods. We use the term “organic sales growth” to refer to the increase in our sales between periods that is attributable to organic sales. We use the term “acquisition growth” to refer to the increase in our sales between periods that is attributable to Acquisition Sales. Organic sales, organic sales growth and acquisition sales.growth are non-GAAP measures. See reconciliation of these measures to GAAP net sales in Non-GAAP Measures below.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit is impacted by our levels of net sales and cost of sales. Our cost of sales consists of costs for, among other things (i) raw materials, including copper, steel and aluminum; (ii) components such as castings, bars, tools, bearings and electronics; (iii) wages and related personnel expenses for fabrication, assembly and logistics personnel; (iv) manufacturing facilities, including depreciation on our manufacturing facilities and equipment, taxes, insurance and utilities; and (v) shipping. The majority of our cost of sales consists of raw materials and components. The price we pay for commodities and components can be subject to commodity price fluctuations. We attempt to mitigate thisportions of the commodity price fluctuations through fixed-price agreements with suppliers and our hedging strategies. We are currently reducing the number of our suppliers we use in order to leverage the better prices and terms that can be obtained with higher volume orders. A large amount of our suppliers are in North America. As we expand production and our geographic footprint, we expect it may be advantageous to increase our use of foreign suppliers. When we experience commodity price increases, we have tended to announce price increases to our customers who purchase via purchase order, with such increases generally taking effect a period of time after the public announcements. For those sales we make under long-term arrangements, we tend to include material price formulas that specify quarterly or semi-annual price adjustments based on a variety of factors, including commodity prices.
Outside of general economic cyclicality, our different business units experience different levels of variation in gross profitsales from quarter to quarter based on factors specific to each division.business. For example, a portion of our Climate Solutions segment manufactures products that are used in air conditioning applications. As a result, our sales for that business tend to be lower in the first and fourth quarters and higher in the second and third quarters. In contrast, our Commercial andSystems segment, Industrial Systems segment and our Power TransmissionMotion Control Solutions segment have a broad customer base and a variety of applications, thereby helping to mitigate large quarter-to-quarter fluctuations outside of general economic conditions.
Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses consist primarily of (i) general and administrative expenses; (ii) sales and marketing expenses; (iii) general engineering and research and development expenses; and (iv) handling costs incurred in conjunction with distribution activities. Personnel related costs are our largest operating expense.
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs for (i) salaries, benefits and other personnel expenses related to our executive, finance, human resource, information technology, legal and operations functions; (ii) occupancy expenses; (iii) technology related costs; (iv) depreciation and amortization; and (v) corporate-related travel. The majority of our general and administrative costs are for salaries and related personnel expenses. These costs can vary by divisionbusiness given the location of our different manufacturing operations.
Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of costs for (i) salaries, benefits and other personnel expenses related to our sales and marketing function; (ii) internal and external sales commissions and bonuses; (iii) travel, lodging and other out-of-pocket expenses associated with our selling efforts; and (iv) other related overhead.
Our general engineering and research and development expenses consist primarily of costs for (i) salaries, benefits and other personnel expenses; (ii) the design and development of new energy efficiency products and enhancements; (iii) quality assurance and testing; and (iv) other related overhead. Our research and development efforts tend to be targeted toward developing new products that would allow us to maintain or gain additional market share, whether in new or existing applications. While these costs make up an insignificant portion of our operating expenses in the Power Transmission Solutions segment, they are more substantial in our Commercial and Industrial Systems and Climate Solutions segments. In particular, a large driver of our research and development efforts in these two segments is energy efficiency, which generally means using less electrical power to produce more mechanical power.

The COVID-19 outbreak and associated counteracting measures implemented by governments and businesses around the world, as well as subsequent accelerated recovery in global business activity, have increased uncertainty in the global business environment and led to supply chain disruptions and shortages in global markets for commodities, logistics and labor, as well as input cost inflation. Currently our expectation is that the impact of cost inflation, including labor, energy, freight and logistics costs, as well as supplier component input availability will continue throughout 2023. COVID-19 lockdowns in China during fiscal 2022 disrupted our Chinese manufacturing operations and negatively impacted demand for our products in the region. Significant increases in COVID-19 infections in that geographic region may continue to disrupt our Chinese manufacturing operations, impact demand for our products, and could also lead to additional supply chain disruptions and commercial challenges.
The public health situation, continued global response measures and corresponding impacts on various markets remain fluid and uncertain and may lead to sudden changes in trajectory and outlook. The Company will continue to proactively respond to the situation and may take further actions that alter our business activity as may be required by governmental authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees and operations.
Altra, Rexnord and Arrowhead Transactions
Altra Transaction. On October 26, 2022, we entered into the Altra Merger Agreement with Altra and Merger Sub to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Altra for $62.00 per common share, or a total preliminary purchase price of $4.95 billion. Pursuant to the terms of the Altra Merger Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, Merger Sub will merge with and into Altra, with Altra surviving the transaction as our wholly owned subsidiary. See Item I - Business and Note 4 – Acquisitions and Divestitures of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Altra Transaction.

In 2018,connection with the Altra Transaction, we entered into certain financing arrangements, which are forecasting anotherdescribed below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”.
Rexnord Transaction. On October 4, 2021, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 15, 2021, we completed our combination with the Rexnord PMC business of Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation (formerly known as Rexnord Corporation) in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction (the “Rexnord Transaction”). Our shareholders of record as of October 1, 2021 received a special dividend of $6.99 per share (or approximately $284.4 million in aggregate) in connection with the Rexnord Transaction. The Rexnord PMC business forms a part of our Motion Control Solutions segment, and its financials have been included in results for that segment from the date of acquisition. See Item I - Business and Note 4 – Acquisitions and Divestitures of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Rexnord Transaction.
In connection with the Rexnord Transaction, we entered into certain financing arrangements, which are described below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”.
Arrowhead Transaction. On November 23, 2021, we acquired Arrowhead for $315.6 million in cash, net of $1.1 million of cash acquired.

See Item I - Business and Note 4 – Acquisitions and Divestitures of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Arrowhead Transaction.
Change in Fiscal Year End
At a meeting of the Board of Directors of Regal Rexnord Corporation on October 26, 2021, the Board approved a change in the fiscal year end from a 52-53 week year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31 to a calendar year ending on December 31, effective beginning with fiscal year 2022. We made the fiscal year change on a prospective basis and did not adjust operating results for prior periods. We believe this change will provide numerous benefits, including aligning our reporting periods to be more consistent with peer companies. While this change impacts the comparability of loweach of the periods presented, the impact is not material.
Change in Accounting Principle
As of January 2, 2022, we changed our methodology for valuing certain inventories to mid-single digit organic sales growth, andthe first-in, first-out ("FIFO") cost method from the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") cost method. The effects of this change have been retrospectively applied to all periods presented. See Note 3 – Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Outlook
In fiscal 2023, we expect organic revenue to improve our operating margin. We expectbe slightly down at the benefits from our price actions and simplification projects will more than offset the commodity inflation headwind.mid-point of its range. In 2018,fiscal 2023, we expect diluted earnings per share to be $5.19$5.64 to $5.59.$6.44. Our 2018fiscal 2023 diluted earnings per share guidance is based on an effective tax rate of 21%, which21.5%. Our outlook for fiscal 2023 includes financing costs and net interest expense on the impactrecently issued Senior Notes, but excludes other financial impacts from the Altra Transaction. See Note 7 – Debt and Bank Credit Facilities of the Act.Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Senior Notes.

(1) The timing and future spot prices affect the settlement values of our hedge obligations related to commodities and currency exchange rates. Accordingly, these obligations are not included above in the table of contractual obligations (See also Item 7A and Note 13 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The timing of settlement of our tax contingent liabilities cannot be reasonably determined and they are not included above in the table of contractual obligations. The one-time mandatory transition tax on undistributed earnings of foreign affiliates, which is payable over eight years pursuant to the timeline outlined in the Act, is a provisional estimate and therefore the related payments are not included in the above table of contractual obligations. Future pension obligation payments after fiscal 20172022 are subject to revaluation based on changes in the benefit population and/or changes in the value of pension assets based on market conditions that are not determinable as of December 30, 2017.31, 2022.
(2) Variable rate debt based on December 30, 201731, 2022 rates. See also Note 7 – Debt and Bank Credit Facilities of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
We utilize blanket purchase orders (“blankets”Blankets”) to communicate expected annual requirements to many of our suppliers. Requirements under blanketsBlankets generally do not become “firm” until a varying number of weeks before our scheduled production. The purchase obligations shown in the above table represent the value we consider “firm.”
Critical Accounting PoliciesEstimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US") requires us to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe the following critical accounting policies could have the most significant effect on our reported results.
Purchase Accounting and Business Combinations
Assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as part of a business combination are recognized separately from goodwill at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. We, with the assistance of outside specialists as necessary, use estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as contingent consideration, where applicable. We may refine these estimates during the measurement period which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. As a result, during the measurement period, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our Consolidated Statements of Income.
Goodwill
We evaluatetest goodwill for impairment at least annually and perform our annual impairment test as of the carrying amountend of goodwill annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. When applying the accounting guidance, we use estimates to determine when it might be necessary to take an impairment charge.October fiscal month. Factors that could trigger an impairment reviewassessment include significant underperformance relative to historical or forecasted operating results, a significant decrease in the market value of an asset or significant negative industry or economic trends. ForReporting units with recent impairments or those with goodwill we may perform a qualitative test toresulting from recent acquisitions generally present the highest risk of impairment.
47
We determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of aeach reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. We perform our required annual goodwill impairment test as of the end of the October fiscal month.
For fiscal 2022, we performed quantitative impairment tests for investing in such a business. Terminal value rate determination follows common methodology of capturing the present value of perpetual cash flow estimates beyond the last projected period assuming a constant discount rate and long-term growth rates.
Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable through future cash flows. When applying the accounting guidance, we use estimates to determine when an impairment is necessary. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include a significant decrease in the market value of an asset or significant negative or economic trends (see also Note 5 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). For long-lived assets, the Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the primary asset to estimate recoverability.
The majority of the trade names associated with the acquired PTS business. They were evaluated for impairment using fiscal October 2017 information using a relief from royalty method to determine whether their fair values exceed their respective carrying amounts. The Company determined the fair value of these assets using a royalty relief methodology similar to that employed when the associated assets were acquired, but using updated estimates of future sales, cash flows and profitability. For 2016 and 2017, the fair value of indefinite lived intangible assets exceeded their respective carrying value. Some of the key considerations used in our impairment testing included (i) cost of capital, including the risk-free interest rate, (ii) royalty rate, and (iii) recent historical and projected performance of the subject reporting unit. There is inherent uncertainty included in the assumptions used in indefinite-lived intangible asset testing. A change to any of the assumptions could lead to a future impairment.
The valuation of our defined benefit pension plans are determined withplan obligations and cost requires the assistanceuse of actuarial firms. The actuaries make certain assumptions regarding such factors as withdrawaland estimates, including discount rates, investment returns, and mortality rates. Our discount rate assumption is determined by developing a yield curve based on high quality corporate bonds with maturities matching the plans’ expected benefit payment streams. The actuaries also provide information and recommendations from which management makes further assumptions on such factors asplans’ expected cash flows are then discounted by the result year-by-year spot rates. Our expected long-term expected rate of return on plan assets is reviewed annually based on actual and forecasted returns, economic trends and portfolio allocation. The following tables illustrate the discount rate on benefit obligations and where applicable, the rateeffects of annual compensation increases.
| Actual Assumption | Change in Assumption | Impact | |||||||||
| Change in 2022 net periodic benefit cost | |||||||||||
| Discount rate | 2.7% | 0.50% increase | $1.3 million cost increase | ||||||||
| Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets | 4.6% | 0.50% decrease | $1.9 million cost increase | ||||||||
| Change in projected benefit plan obligation at December 31, 2022 | |||||||||||
| Discount rate | 5.2% | 0.50% decrease | $17.2 million obligation increase | ||||||||
Changes in assumptions and future investment returns could potentially have a material impact on our pension obligation and other post retirement benefit costs beginning in 2016. The new method uses the spot yield curve approach to estimate the service and interest costs by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used to determine the benefit obligations to relevant projected cash outflows. The current methodology for selecting the discount rate was to match the plan's cash flows to that of a theoretical bond portfolio yield curve used to measure the benefit obligation at the beginning of the period. The change will not affect the measurement of the total benefit obligations as the change in service and interest costs is offset in the actuarial gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income. We changed the method to provide a more precise measure of interest and service costs by improving the correlation between the projected benefit cash flows and the discrete spot yield curve rates. The Company has accounted for this change as a change in estimate prospectively and resulted in a $2.9 million reduction in expense for fiscal 2016 as compared to the previous method.cost.
ITEM 7A - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk relating to our operations due to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices of purchased raw materials. We manage the exposure to these risks through a combination of normal operating and financing activities and derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, commodity cash flow hedges
48
and foreign currency forward exchange contracts. All hedging transactions are authorized and executed pursuant to clearly defined policies and procedures, which prohibit the use of financial instruments for speculative purposes.
All qualified hedges are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with changes in fair value recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCI”) in each accounting period. An ineffective portion of the hedges' change in fair value, if any, is recorded in earnings in the period of change.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk on certain of our short-term and long-term debt obligations used to finance our operations and acquisitions. AtAs of December 30, 2017,31, 2022, we had $504.7$576.7 million of fixed rate debt and $641.8$1,452.1 million of variable rate debt. At December 31, 2016, excluding the impactAs of interest rate swaps,January 1, 2022, we had $504.7$76.7 million of fixed rate debt and $916.5$1,845.5 million of variable rate debt. We have previously utilizedutilize interest rate swaps to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from exposure to interest rate risk on forecasted variable rate interest payments. The remaining interest rate swap agreement terminated in August 2017.
We have floating rate borrowings, which expose us to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 10% change in our weighted average borrowing rate on outstanding variable rate debt atas of December 30, 201731, 2022 would result in a $1.7$8.2 million change in after-tax annualized earnings. We had entered into atwo forward starting pay fixed/receive floating nonamortizing interest rate swapswaps in June 2020, with a total notional amount of $250.0 million to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk related to the floating rate interest. These swaps were terminated in March 2022 upon closing the Credit Agreement. The cash proceeds of $16.2 million received to settle the terminated swaps will be recognized into interest on our 2007 Notes which were paid in August 2017. Thisexpense via the effective interest rate swap had beenmethod through July 2025 when the terminated swaps were scheduled to expire. We also entered into two forward starting pay fixed/receive floating non-amortizing interest rate swaps in May 2022, with a total notional amount of $250.0 million to manage fluctuations in cash flows from interest rate risk related to floating rate interest. Upon inception, the swaps were designated as a cash flow hedgehedges against forecasted interest payments.payments with gains and losses, net of tax, measured on an ongoing basis, recorded in AOCI.

The interest rate swap matured in August 2017.hedge.
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include the translation of local currency balances of foreign subsidiaries, intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Our objective is to minimize our exposure to these risks through a combination of normal operating activities and the utilization of foreign currency exchange contracts to manage our exposure on the forecasted transactions denominated in currencies other than the applicable functional currency. Contracts are executed with credit worthy banks and are denominated in currencies of major industrial countries. We do not hedge our exposure to the translation of reported results of foreign subsidiaries from local currency to United States dollars.
As of December 30, 2017,31, 2022, derivative currency assets (liabilities) of $15.6$13.0 million, $2.5 million, $(8.1)$0.9 million and $(0.9)$(4.8) million, are recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets, Other Noncurrent Assets Current Hedging Obligations, and Noncurrent Hedging Obligations,Other Accrued Expenses, respectively.

Commodity Price Risk
We periodically enter into commodity hedging transactions to reduce the impact of changing prices for certain commodities such as copper and aluminum based upon forecasted purchases of such commodities. Qualified hedge transactions are designated as cash flow hedges and the contract terms of commodity hedge instruments generally mirror those of the hedged item, providing a high degree of risk reduction and correlation.

Counterparty Risk
We are exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to various financial agreements, including our interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency exchange contracts and commodity hedging transactions. We manage exposure to counterparty credit risk by limiting our counterparties to major international banks and financial institutions meeting established credit guidelines and continually monitoring their compliance with the credit guidelines. We do not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk. We do not anticipate non-performance by our counterparties, but cannot provide assurances.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the auditsaudit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures tothat respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Goodwill Valuation – Global Industrial Motors and the MCS Aerospace Reporting Units – Refer to Notes 3 and 5 to the Financial Statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company performed an impairment evaluation of the goodwill for the Global Industrial Motors and the MCS Aerospace reporting units by comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting units to their carrying value. In order to estimate the fair value of the reporting units, management is required to make estimates and assumptions related to the discount rate and forecasts of future Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation & Amortization (“EBITDA”) margins, which involve significant judgment. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value, the amount of any goodwill impairment charge, or both. The goodwill balance was $4,018.8 million as of December 31, 2022, of which $78.6 million related to the Global Industrial Motors reporting unit and $208.7 million related to the MCS Aerospace reporting unit. As of October 31, 2022, the Company’s measurement date, the Company determined that the fair value of each of the reporting units exceeded its carrying value and therefore no impairment was recognized.
We identified the impairment evaluation of goodwill for the Global Industrial Motors and the MCS Aerospace reporting units as a critical audit matter because of the inherent subjectivity involved in management’s estimates and assumptions related to the
53
discount rate and forecasts of future EBITDA margins. The audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related to the selection of the discount rates and forecast of future EBITDA margins required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the selection of the discount rate and forecasts of future EBITDA margins for the Global Industrial Motors and MCS Aerospace reporting units included the following, among others:
•We evaluated the design and effectiveness of the controls over management’s goodwill impairment evaluation, including those over the selection of the discount rates and management’s development of forecasts of future EBITDA margins.
•We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecasts by comparing the forecasts to (1) historical results, (2) internal communications to management and the Board of Directors, and (3) forecasted information included in analyst and industry reports for the Company and certain of its peer companies.
•We assessed management’s historical ability to accurately forecast the reporting units’ results of operations.
•We assessed management’s intent and/or ability to take specific actions included in management’s forecasts.
•We evaluated the impact of changes in management’s forecasts from the October 31, 2022, annual measurement date to December 31, 2022.
•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the discount rates by:
–Testing the source information underlying management’s determination of the discount rates.
–Testing the mathematical accuracy of management’s calculations.
–Developing a range of independent estimates and compared those to the discount rates selected by management.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(2) Basis of Presentation
(3) Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. In addition, the Company has joint ventures that are consolidated in accordance with consolidation accounting guidance. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”), which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company uses estimates in accounting for, among other items, allowance for doubtful accounts;credit losses; excess and obsolete inventory; share-based compensation; acquisitions; product warranty obligations; pension and post retirementpost-retirement assets and liabilities; derivative fair values; goodwill and other asset impairments; health care reserves; rebates and incentives; litigation claims and contingencies, including environmental matters; and income taxes. The Company accounts for changes to estimates and assumptions when warranted by factually based experience.
Acquisitions
The Company recognizes assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies and contingent consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date. The operating results of the acquired companies are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred, restructuring costs are recognized as post-acquisition expense and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the measurement period are recorded in Provision for Income Taxes.
See Note 4 -Acquisitionsfor more information.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generally recognizes revenue upon transferfrom the sale of title, which generally occurs upon shipmentelectric motors, electrical motion controls, power generation and power transmission products. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the product passes to the customer. customer or the service is provided and is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for such goods or services.
61
For a limited number of contracts, the Company recognizes revenue over time in proportion to costs incurred. The pricing of products sold is generally supported by customer purchase orders, and accounts receivable collection is reasonably assured at the time of shipment.assured. Estimated discounts and rebates are recorded as a reduction of gross sales in the same period revenue is recognized. Product returns and credits are estimated and recorded at the time of shipment based upon historical experience. Shipping and handling costs are recorded as revenue when billed to the customers. The costs incurred from shipping are recorded in Cost of Sales and handling costs incurred in connection with selling and distribution activities are recorded in Operating Expenses.
The Company has certain operating leases in the oil and gas industry where revenue is recognized over the term of the lease. The lease revenue is not material for all fiscal periods presented. The related net leased assets were not material at December 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016 and were included in Other Noncurrent Assets.
Nature of Goods and Services
The Company sells products with multiple applications as well as customized products that have a single application such as those manufactured for its OEM customers. The Company reports in four operating segments: Commercial Systems, Industrial Systems, Climate Solutions and Motion Control Solutions. See Note 6 – Segment Information for a description of the different segments.
Nature of Performance Obligations
The Company’s contracts with customers typically consist of purchase orders, invoices and master supply agreements. At contract inception, across all four segments, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in its sales arrangements with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service that is distinct. The Company’s primary performance obligations consist of product sales and customized systems/solutions.
Product:
The nature of products varies from segment to segment but across all segments, individual products are generally not integrated and represent separate performance obligations.
Customized systems/solutions:
The Company provides customized systems/solutions which consist of multiple products engineered and designed to specific customer specification, combined or integrated into one combined solution for a specific customer application. The goods are transferred to the customer and revenue is typically recognized over time as the performance obligations are satisfied.
When Performance Obligations are Satisfied
For performance obligations related to substantially all of the Company's product sales, the Company determines that the customer obtains control upon shipment and recognizes revenue accordingly. Once a product has shipped, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset. The Company considers control to have transferred upon shipment because the Company has a present right to payment at that time, the customer has legal title to the asset, the Company has transferred physical possession of the asset, and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.
For a limited number of contracts, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue over time. The Company satisfies its performance obligations over time and the Company uses a cost-based input method to measure progress. In applying the cost-based method of revenue recognition, the Company uses actual costs incurred to date relative to the total estimated costs for the contract in conjunction with the customer's commitment to perform in determining the amount of revenue and cost to recognize. The Company has determined that the cost-based input method provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods to the customer.
Payment Terms
The arrangement with the customer states the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product or service purchased. Payment terms vary by customer but typically range from due upon delivery to 120 days after delivery. For contracts recognized at a point in time, revenue and billing typically occur simultaneously. The Company generally has payment terms with its customers of one year or less and has elected the practical expedient applicable to such contracts not to consider the time value of money. For contracts recognized using the cost-based input method, revenue recognized in excess of customer billings and billings in excess of revenue recognized are reviewed to determine the contract asset or contract liability position and classified as such on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
62
Returns, Refunds and Warranties
The Company’s contracts do not explicitly offer a “general” right of return to its customers (e.g. customers ordered excess products and return unused items). Warranties are classified as either assurance type or service type warranties. A warranty is considered an assurance type warranty if it provides the customer with assurance that the product will function as intended. A warranty that goes above and beyond ensuring basic functionality is considered a service type warranty. The Company generally only offers limited warranties which are considered to be assurance type warranties and are not accounted for as separate performance obligations. Customers generally receive repair or replacement on products that do not function to specification. Estimated product warranties are provided for specific product groups and the Company accrues for estimated future warranty cost in the period in which the sale is recognized. The Company estimates the accrual requirements based on historical warranty loss experience and the cost is included in Cost of Sales. See Note 12 -Contingenciesfor more information.
Volume Rebates
In some cases, the nature of the Company’s contract may give rise to variable consideration including volume based sales incentives. If the customer achieves specific sales targets, it is entitled to rebates. The Company estimates the projected amount of the rebates that will be achieved and recognizes the estimated costs as a reduction to Net Sales as revenue is recognized.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions
The Company typically expenses incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, primarily sales commissions, as incurred because the amortization period is expected to be 12 months or less. Contract costs are included in Operating Expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.
63
Due to the short nature of the Company’s contracts, the Company has adopted a practical expedient to not disclose revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations as substantially all of its contracts have original terms of 12 months or less.
The Company typically does not include in its transaction price any amounts collected from customers for sales taxes.
Research, Development and DevelopmentEngineering
The Company performs research, development and developmentengineering activities relating to new product development and the improvement of current products. The Company's research, development and developmentengineering expenses consist primarily of costs for: (i) salaries and related personnel expenses; (ii) the design and development of new energy efficient products and enhancements; (iii) quality assurance and testing; and (iv) other related overhead. The Company's research, development and developmentengineering efforts tend to be targeted toward developing new products that would allow it to gain additional market share, whether in new or existing segments. While these costs make up an insignificant portion of operating expenses in the Power Transmission Solutions segment, they are more substantial in the Climate Solutions
Research, development and Commercial and Industrial Systems segments. In particular, a large driver of research and development efforts in the Climate Solutions and Commercial and Industrial Systems segments is energy efficiency.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments which are readily convertible to cash, present insignificant risk of changes in value due to interest rate fluctuations and have original or purchased maturities of three months or less.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents. The Company has material deposits with global financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of its financial institutions and monitors the amount of exposure.
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across many geographic areas. The Company monitors credit risk associated with its trade receivables.
Trade Receivables
The Company's policy for estimating the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables considers several factors including historical write-off experience, overall customer credit quality in relation to general economic and market conditions, and specific customer account analyses to estimate expected credit losses. The specific customer account analysis considers such items as, credit worthiness, payment history, and historical bad debt experience. Trade receivables are stated at estimated net realizable value.written off after exhaustive collection efforts occur and the receivable is deemed uncollectible. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are recorded in Operating Expenses. Trade receivables are comprisedacquired in the Rexnord Transaction (see Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestitures) were recorded at fair value at the acquisition date in an amount that reflected expected credit losses, and accordingly, an allowance for credit losses was not separately presented and disclosed. The allowance for credit losses has increased by approximately $11.0 million at December 31, 2022 when compared to January 1, 2022 primarily due to the presentation of balances due from customers, net of estimated allowances. In estimating losses inherent inpost-merger trade receivables at carrying value, with an allowance for credit losses presented separately. There has not been a significant change in the amount of expected credit losses from the acquisition date to December 31, 2022.
Inventories
As of January 2, 2022, the Company uses historical loss experienceschanged its method for valuing certain inventories to the FIFO cost method from the LIFO cost method. The Company believes that this change in accounting is preferable as it provides a better matching of costs and applies themrevenues, more closely resembles the physical flow of inventory, better reflects acquisition cost of inventory on the balance sheet, conforms the Company's method of inventory valuation to a related aging analysis. Determinationsingle method, results in improved comparability with industry peers and reduces the administrative burden of determining the proper levelLIFO valuation.

The Company reviews inventories for excess and obsolete products or components. Based on an analysis of historical usage and management's evaluation of estimated future demand, market conditions and alternative uses for possible excess or obsolete parts, the Company records an excess and obsolete reserve.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided principally on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives (3 to 50 years) of the depreciable assets. Accelerated methods are used for income tax purposes.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures which extend the useful lives of existing equipment are capitalized and depreciated.
66
Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Goodwill
The Company evaluates the carrying amount of goodwill annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to historical or forecasted operating results, a significant decrease in the market value of an asset or significant negative industry or economic trends. For goodwill, the Company may perform a qualitative test to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. Based on prior goodwillThe Company performed quantitative impairment testing the Company determined the performance of the quantitative impairment test was required for all reporting units in 2017.fiscal 2022. The Company performs the required annual goodwill impairment testtesting as of the end of the October fiscal month.
The Company uses a weighting of the market approach and the income approach (discounted cash flow method) in testing goodwill for impairment. In the market approach, the Company applies performance multiples from comparable public companies, adjusted for relative risk, profitability, and growth considerations, to the reporting units to estimate fair value. The key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow method used to estimate fair value include discount rates, revenue and operating incomeEBITDA margin projections and terminal value rates because such assumptions are the most sensitive and susceptible to change as they require significant management judgment. Discount rates are determined by using market and industry data as well as Company-specific risk factors for each reporting unit. The discount rate utilized for each reporting unit is indicative of the return an investor would expect to
receive for investing in such a business. Terminal value rate determination follows common methodology of capturing the present value of perpetual cash flow estimates beyond the last projected period assuming a constant discount rate and long-term growth rates.
The calculated fair valuesCompany did not record any goodwill impairments in fiscal 2022. The Company recorded goodwill impairments of $33.0 million and $10.5 million for the Company's 2017 impairment testing exceeded the carrying values by at least 10% for all of its global industrial motors reporting units.unit in fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. Some of the key considerations used in the Company's impairment testing included (i) market pricing of guideline publicly traded companies (ii) cost of capital, including the risk-free interest rate, and (iii) recent historical and projected performanceoperating results of the subject reporting unit. There is inherent uncertainty included in the assumptions used in goodwill impairment testing. A change to any of the assumptions could lead to a future impairment.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight line method. The Company evaluates amortizing intangibles whenever events or circumstances have occurred that may indicate that carrying values may not be recoverable. If an indicator is present, the Company evaluates carrying values as compareduses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the primary asset to undiscounted estimated future cash flows.estimate recoverability of the asset group. If such estimated future cash flows are less than carrying value, an impairment would be recognized.

Long-Lived Assets Impairment
The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and amortizing intangible assets (collectively, "long-lived assets") whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable through future cash flows. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include a significant decrease in the market value of an asset or significant negative or economic trends. For long-lived assets, the Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the primary asset to estimate recoverability of the asset group. If the asset is not recoverable, the asset is written down to fair value. In fiscal 2022, the Company concluded it had asset impairments related to assets to held for sale of $0.9 million. The Company concluded it did not have any impairmentshad an impairment of $5.6 million in long-lived assets in 2017.fiscal 2021 due to the transfer of assets to held for sale.

Certain employees are covered by a post retirement health care plan.associates. Most of the Company's foreign employeesassociates are covered by government sponsored plans in the countries in which they are employed. The Company's obligations under its defined benefit pension and other post retirement plans are determined with the assistance of actuarial firms. The actuaries, under management's direction, make certain assumptions regarding such factors as withdrawal rates and mortality rates. The actuaries also provide information and recommendations from which management makes further assumptions on such factors as the long-term expected rate of return on plan assets, the discount rate on benefit obligations and where applicable and the rate of annual compensation increases and health care cost trend rates.increases.
Based upon the assumptions made, the investments made by the plans, overall conditions and movement in financial markets, life-spans of benefit recipients and other factors, annual expenses and recorded assets or liabilities of these defined benefit pension plans may change significantly from year to year.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative instruments are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Any fair value changes are recorded in Net Income or Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss ("AOCI") as determined under accounting guidance that establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of the hedging relationships.
68
The Company uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to fluctuations in certain raw material commodity pricing, fluctuations in the cost of forecasted foreign currency transactions, and variability in interest rate exposure on floating rate borrowings. The majority of derivative instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges (see alsohedges. See Note 13 of Notes to the Consolidated– Derivative Financial Statements).Instruments for more information.
Income Taxes
The Company operatesaccounts for income taxes in numerous taxing jurisdictionsaccordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and consideration of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income taxes are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The impact on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are provided to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This requires management to make judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of the reversal of taxable temporary differences, expected future taxable income, and the impact of tax planning strategies.
Uncertainty exists regarding tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns which remain subject to regular examinations by various US federal, state and foreign jurisdictionsexamination, along with positions expected to be taken in future returns. The Company provides for variousunrecognized tax periods. The Company's incomebenefits, based on the technical merits, when it is more likely than not that an uncertain tax position will not be sustained upon examination. Adjustments are made to the uncertain tax positions are based on researchwhen facts and interpretationscircumstances change, such as the closing of a tax audit; changes in applicable tax laws, including tax case rulings and legislative guidance; or expiration of the income tax laws and rulings in eachapplicable statute of the jurisdictions in which it does business. Due to the subjectivity of interpretations of laws and rulings in each jurisdiction, the differences and interplay in tax laws between those jurisdictions as well as the inherent uncertainty in estimating the final resolution of complex tax audit matters, estimates of income tax liabilities may differ from actual payments or assessments.limitations. See Note 11 – Income Taxes for more information.
Foreign Currency Translation
For those operations using a functional currency other than the US dollar, assets and liabilities are translated into US dollars at year-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at weighted-average exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of Shareholders' Equity.
Product Warranty Reserves
The Company maintains reserves for product warranty to cover the stated warranty periods for its products. Such reserves are established based on an evaluation of historical warranty experience and specific significant warranty matters when they become known and can reasonably be estimated. See Note 12 –Contingenciesfor more information.

Legal Claims and Contingent Liabilities
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and regulatory matters, the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty and will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Management conducts regular reviews, including updates from legal counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. The Company records expenses and liabilities when the Company believes that an obligation of the Company or a subsidiary on a specific matter is probable and there is a basis to reasonably estimate the value of the obligation, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise in judgment. This methodology is used for legal claims that are filed against the Company or a subsidiary from time to time. The uncertainty that is associated with such matters frequently requires adjustments to the liabilities previously recorded. See Note 12 –Contingenciesfor more information.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The fair values of cash equivalents, term deposits, trade receivables and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the short period of time to maturity. The fair value of debt is estimated using discounted cash flows based on rates for instruments with comparable maturities and credit ratings as further described in Note 7 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.– Debt and Credit Facilities. The fair value of pension assets and derivative instruments is determined based on the methods disclosed in NotesNote 8 - Retirement and 14Post-Retirement Medical and Note 13 – Derivative Financial Instruments.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company made a cash payment of $35.0 million to Zurn in connection with finalizing the acquisition date trade working capital. The preliminary purchase price allocations were also adjusted by the refinement of the estimated fair value of the assets received and liabilities assumed. The cumulative impact of the adjustments during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 resulted in $26.9 million of additional goodwill.
Summary of Significant Fair Value Methods
The methods used to determine the fair value of significant identifiable assets and liabilities included in the allocation of purchase price are discussed below.
Inventories
Acquired inventory was comprised of finished goods, work in process and raw materials. The fair value of finished goods was calculated as the estimated selling price, adjusted for costs of the selling effort and a reasonable profit allowance relating to the selling effort. The fair value of work in process inventory was primarily calculated as the estimated selling price, adjusted for estimated costs to complete the manufacturing, estimated costs of the selling effort, as well as a reasonable profit margin on the remaining manufacturing and selling effort. The fair value of raw materials and supplies was determined based on replacement cost which approximates historical carrying value.
Property, Plant and Equipment
The preliminary fair value of Property, Plant, and Equipment was determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset.
Identifiable Intangible Assets
The fair value and weighted average useful life of the identifiable intangible assets are as follows:
73
| Fair Value | Weighted Average Useful Life (Years) | |||||||||||||
Trademarks(1) | $ | 225.0 | 10 | |||||||||||
Customer Relationships(2) | 1,519.0 | 17 | ||||||||||||
Technology(3) | 87.0 | 12 | ||||||||||||
| Total Identifiable Intangible Assets | $ | 1,831.0 | ||||||||||||
The fair value estimates for identifiable intangible assets are preliminary and are based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset.
(1) The Rexnord PMC business Trademarks were valued using the relief from royalty method, which considers both the market approach and the income approach.
(2) The fair value of Customer Relationships was valued using a multi-period excess earnings method, a form of the income approach, which incorporates the estimated future cash flows to be generated from the Rexnord PMC business's existing customer base.
(3) The Rexnord PMC business Technology were valued using the relief from royalty method, which considers both the market approach and the income approach.
The intangible assets related to definite-lived customer relationships, trademarks and technology are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which had estimated weighted-average useful lives of 17 years, 10 years and 12 years, respectively, at acquisition.
The Company believes that the amounts of purchased intangible assets recorded represent the preliminary fair values and approximates the amounts a market participant would pay for these intangible assets as of the acquisition date.
Leases, including right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities
Lease liabilities were measured as of the acquisition date at the present value of future minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term and the incremental borrowing rate of the Company as if the acquired leases were new leases as of the acquisition date. ROU assets recorded within “Operating Lease Assets” are equal to the amount of the lease liability at the acquisition date adjusted for any off-market terms of the lease. The remaining lease term was based on the remaining term at the acquisition date plus any renewal or extension options that the Company is reasonably certain will be exercised.
Pension and Other Post Retirement Benefits
The Rexnord PMC business recognized a pretax net liability representing the net funded status of the Rexnord PMC business’s defined-benefit pension and other postretirement benefit (“OPEB”) plans. See Note 8for further information on the pension and OPEB arrangements.
Long-Term Debt
In connection with the Rexnord Transaction, the Company entered into certain financing arrangements as indicated in Note 7.
The fair value for long term debt was determined based on the total indebtedness as the debt consummated at the time of closing of the acquisition.
Deferred Income Tax Assets and Liabilities
The acquisition was structured as a merger and therefore, the Company assumed the historical tax basis of the Rexnord PMC business’s assets and liabilities. The deferred income tax assets and liabilities include the expected future federal, state, and foreign tax consequences associated with temporary differences between the fair values of identifiable intangiblethe assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the respective tax bases. Tax rates utilized in calculating deferred income taxes generally represent the enacted statutory tax rates at the effective date of the acquisition in the jurisdictions in which were primarily customer relationships, trade names,legal title of the underlying asset or liability resides. See Note 11 - Income Taxes for further information related to income taxes.
Noncontrolling Interests
As of the date of acquisition, the Company assumed the noncontrolling interest in two subsidiaries. The carrying values of the noncontrolling interests approximates the fair value of as of the acquisition date.
74
Other Assets Acquired and technology, were based on valuations usingLiabilities Assumed (excluding Goodwill)
The Company utilized the income approach. carrying values, net of allowances, to value accounts receivable and accounts payable as well as other current assets and liabilities as it was determined that carrying values represented the fair value of those items at the acquisition date. With the exception of the receivable allowance to align Rexnord PMC business's reserve policy to the Company's policy, to reflect the best estimate at the acquisition date of the contractual cash flows expected to be collected
Goodwill
The excess of the purchase priceconsideration for the acquisition over the estimated fair valuesvalue of tangiblenet assets identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilitiesacquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is attributable to expected synergies and expanded market opportunities from combining the Company’s operations with those of the Rexnord PMC business. The goodwill created in the acquisition is not expected growth opportunities. The Company estimates approximately 65% of goodwill willto be deductible for United States income tax purposes.

Retirement Plans
The Company sponsors pension and other post-retirement benefit plans for certain associates. Most of the Company's domestic employeesassociates are participants in defined benefit pension plans and/oraccumulating retirement income benefits through defined contribution plans. The majority of the Company's defined benefit pension plans covering the Company's domestic employeesassociates have been closed to new employeesassociates and frozen for existing employees. Mostassociates, however certain employees represented by collective bargaining continue to earn benefits. Certain foreign employeesassociates are covered by government sponsored plans in the countries in which they are employed. The defined contribution plans provide for Company contributions based, depending on the plan, upon one or more of participant contributions, service and profits. Company contributions to domestic defined contribution plans totaled $9.3$16.2 million, $8.7$9.8 million and $9.9$7.6 million in 2017, 2016fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021 and 2015,fiscal 2020, respectively.

Benefits provided under defined benefit pension plans are based, depending on the plan, on employees'associates' average earnings and years of credited service, or a benefit multiplier times years of service. Funding of these qualified defined benefit pension plans is in accordance with federal laws and regulations. The actuarial valuation measurement date for pension plans is the calendar year end of each year.

During 2022, the Company maintained its dynamic de-risking investment strategy for its defined benefit pension plans is to achieve moderately aggressive growth, earning a long-term rate of return sufficientimplemented during 2021 designed to allow the plans to reachattain and/or maintain fully funded status.status levels while reducing volatility. Accordingly, allocation targets have been established to fit this strategy in response to increased funded ratio thresholds along a glidepath. The overall fixed income portfolio will increase to meet the allocation targets in such a manner that its interest rate sensitivity correlates highly with a heavier long-term weightingthat of investments in equity securities.the liabilities of the plans, and other assets classes are intended to provide additional return with associated higher levels of risk. The long-term rate of return assumptions consider historic returns and volatilities adjusted for changes in overall economic conditions that may affect future returns and a weighting of each investment class. During 2022, the Company transitioned legacy Rexnord PMC’s pension plan to align with the Company’s other pension plan’s derisking strategy at similar funded status levels, which is expected to result in improved funding levels and less required contributions over time.

Pension Assets
The Company classifies the pension planits investments into Level 1, which refers to securities valued using quoted prices from active markets for identical assets, Level 2, which refers to securities not traded on an active market but for which observable market inputs are readily available, and Level 3, which refers to securities valued based on significant unobservable inputs. Common stocks and mutualMutual funds are valued at the unadjusted quoted market prices for the securities. Real estate fundinterest values are determined using model-based techniques that include relative value analysis and discounted cash flow techniques. Certain commonCommon collective trust funds and limited partnership interests are valued based on the net asset value ("NAV"(“NAV”) as provided by the administrator of the fund as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. Investments in units of collective trust funds and short-term investment funds, comprised of cash and money market funds, are valued at their respective NAVspublished market prices as reported by the funds daily. Certain international plans hold insurance contracts. The fair value of these contracts is calculated by projecting expected future cash flows from the contract and discounting them to present value based on current market rates. The contracts are included within Level 3 of the hierarchy as the assumptions used to project expected future cash flows are based on actuarial estimates and are unobservable.

The objective of the discount rate assumption is to reflect the rate at which the pension benefits could be effectively settled. In making the determination, the Company takes into account the timing and amount of benefits that would be available under the plans. The methodology for selecting the discount rate was to match the plan's cash flows to that of a theoretical bond portfolio yield curve.
Certain of the Company's defined benefit pension plan obligations are based on years of service rather than on projected compensation percentage increases. For those plans that use compensation increases in the calculation of benefit obligations and net periodic pension cost, the Company used an assumed rate of compensation increase of 2.8% and 3.0% for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively.

As of December 30, 2017,31, 2022, there was $8.8$13.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs that is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted average period of 1.71.9 years.
Performance Share Units
Performance share unit awards ("PSU"PSUs") awards consist of shares or the rights to shares of the Company's stock which are awarded to employeesassociates of the Company. These shares are payable upon the determination that the Company achieved certain established performance targets and can range from 0% to 200% of the targeted payout based on the actual results. PSUs have a performance period of 3 years. andyears, vest three years from the grant date.date and are issued at a performance target of 100%. The PSUs have performance criteria based on a return on invested capital metric or they have performance criteria using returns relative to the Company's peer group. As set forth in the individual grant agreements, acceleration of vesting may occur under a change in control, death or disability. There are no voting rights with these instruments until vesting occurs and a share of stock is issued. Some of the PSU awards are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation method as of the grant date while others are valued using the closing market price less net present value of dividends as of the grant date depending on the performance criteria for the award.
The assumptions used in the Company's Monte Carlo simulation related to grants for performance share units were as follows:

Deferred taxes arise primarily from differences in amounts reported for tax and financial statement purposes. The Company's net deferred tax liability was $(106.8)$547.9 million as of December 30, 2017,31, 2022, classified on the consolidated Balance Sheet as a net non-current deferred income tax asset of $28.5$44.0 million and a net non-current deferred income tax liability of $(135.3)$591.9 million. As of December 31, 2016,January 1, 2022, the Company's net deferred tax liability was $(75.3)$644.0 million classified on the consolidated Balance Sheet as a net non-current deferred income tax benefitasset of $22.4$35.7 million and a net non-current deferred income tax liability of $(97.7)$679.7 million. The Company remeasured its US deferred assets and liabilities at the applicable tax rate of 21% in accordance with the Act. The remeasurement resulted in a decrease of $51.0 million to the net deferred tax liability.

Unrecognized tax benefits as of December 30, 201731, 2022 amount to $6.7$5.7 million,, all of which would impact the effective income tax rate if recognized.
Potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense. During fiscal 2017, 2016years 2022, 2021 and 2015,2020, the Company recognized approximately $(0.2)$(0.1) million, $0.2$(1.4) million and $0.6$0.4 million in net interest (income) expense, respectively. The Company had approximately $1.7$1.2 million,, $1.9 $1.3 million and $1.7$2.7 million of accrued interest as of December 30, 2017, December 31, 20162022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2016,2021, respectively.
Due to statute expirations, approximately $0.4$1.4 million of the unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued interest, could reasonably change in the coming year.
With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to US federal and state/local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2012,2019, and the Company is no longer subject to non-US income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2010.2017.
Valuation allowances totaling $5.9$5.2 million and $6.8$5.3 million as of December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively, have been established for deferred income tax assets primarily related to certain subsidiary loss carryforwards that may not be realized. Realization of the net deferred income tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more-likely-than-not that the net deferred income tax assets will be realized. The amount of the net deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could change in the near term if future taxable income during the carryforward period fluctuates.
The Company has been granted tax holidays for some of its Chinese subsidiaries. TheseThe majority of these tax holidays expire in 2020 and are renewableexpired at the end of 2022. All tax holidays will be renewed subject to certain conditions with which the Company expects to comply. In 2017,2022, these holidays decreased the Provision for Income Taxes by $4.2$4.3 million.
The Act includedCompany continues to treat approximately $261.1 million of earnings from certain foreign entities as permanently reinvested and has not recorded a mandatory one-time tax on all accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and as a result, all previously unremitted earnings for which no USdeferred tax liability had been accrued have now been subject to US tax. The Company recognized a provisional one-time tax of $40.0 million and a provisional expense of $10.0 million for the local withholding taxes of approximately $25.5 million on foreign earnings not deemed permanently reinvested. As a result, earnings in foreign jurisdictions are available for distribution without incremental US tax cost.those earnings.
(12) Contingencies
One of the Company's subsidiaries that it acquired in 2007 is subject to numerous claims filed in various jurisdictions relating to certain sub-fractional motors that were primarily manufactured through 2004 and that were included as components of residential and commercial ventilation units manufactured and sold in high volumes by a third party. These ventilation units are subject to product safety requirements and other potential regulation of their performance by government agencies such as the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”). The claims generally allege that the ventilation units were the cause of fires. The Company has recorded an estimated liability for incurred claims. Based on the current facts, the Company cannot assure that these claims, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its subsidiary's financial condition. The Company's subsidiary cannot reasonably predict the outcome of these claims, the nature or extent of any CPSC or other remedial actions, if any, that the Company's subsidiary may need to undertake with respect to motors that remain in the field, or the costs that may be incurred, some of which could be significant.
As a result of the Company's acquisition of the Rexnord PMC business, it is entitled to indemnification from third parties to agreements with the Rexnord PMC business against certain contingent liabilities of the Rexnord PMC business, including certain pre-closing environmental liabilities.
The Company believes that, pursuant to the transaction documents related to the Rexnord PMC business' acquisition of the Stearns business from Invensys plc ("Invensys"), Invensys (now known as Schneider Electric) is obligated to defend and indemnify us with respect to the matters described below relating to the Ellsworth Industrial Park Site and to various asbestos claims. The indemnity obligations relating to the matters described below are subject, together with indemnity obligations relating to other matters, to an overall dollar cap equal to the purchase price, which is an amount in excess of $900.0 million. In the event that the Company is unable to recover from Invensys with respect to the matters below, it may be entitled to indemnification from Zurn, subject to certain limitations. The following paragraphs summarize the most significant actions and proceedings:
•In 2002, the Company's subsidiary, Rexnord Industries, LLC ("Rexnord Industries") was named as a potentially responsible party ("PRP"), together with at least ten other companies, at the Ellsworth Industrial Park Site, Downers Grove, DuPage County, Illinois (the "Site"), by the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("USEPA"), and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("IEPA"). Rexnord Industries' Downers Grove property is situated within the Ellsworth Industrial Complex. The USEPA and IEPA allege there have been one or more releases or threatened releases of chlorinated solvents and other hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants at the Site, allegedly including but not limited to a release or threatened release on or from Rexnord Industries' property. The relief sought by the USEPA and IEPA includes further investigation and potential remediation of the Site and reimbursement of USEPA's past costs. In early 2020, Rexnord Industries entered into an administrative order with the USEPA to do remediation work on its Downers Grove property. The soil excavation work and transporting and disposing of the excavated material was completed in October 2020. An AS/SVE system construction was completed in February 2022 and is anticipated to operate for three years. All previously pending property damage and personal injury lawsuits against Rexnord Industries related to the Site have been settled or dismissed. Pursuant to its indemnity obligation, Invensys continues to defend Rexnord Industries in known matters related to the Site, including the costs of the remediation work pursuant to the 2020 administrative order, and has paid 100% of the costs to date. This indemnification right would not protect Rexnord Industries against liabilities related to environmental conditions that were unknown to Invensys at the time of the acquisition of the Stearns business from Invensys.
•Multiple lawsuits (with approximately 350 claimants) are pending in state or federal court in numerous jurisdictions relating to alleged personal injuries due to the alleged presence of asbestos in certain brakes and clutches previously manufactured by the Rexnord PMC business' Stearns brand of brakes and clutches and/or its predecessor owners. Invensys and FMC, prior owners of the Stearns business, have paid 100% of the costs to date related to the Stearns lawsuits. Similarly, the Rexnord PMC business' Prager subsidiary is the subject of claims by multiple claimants alleging personal injuries due to the alleged presence of asbestos in a product allegedly manufactured by Prager. However, all these claims are currently on the Texas Multi-district Litigation inactive docket, and the Company does not believe that they will become active in the future. To date, the Rexnord PMC business' insurance providers have paid 100% of the costs related to the Prager asbestos matters. We believe that the combination of the Company's insurance coverage and the Invensys indemnity obligations will cover any future costs of these matters.
In connection with the Company's acquisition of the Rexnord PMC business, transaction documents related to the Rexnord PMC business’ acquisition of The Falk Corporation from Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation were assigned to Rexnord Industries, and provide Rexnord Industries with indemnification against certain products related asbestos exposure liabilities. The Company believes that, pursuant to such indemnity obligations, Hamilton Sundstrand is obligated to defend and indemnify
98
Rexnord Industries with respect to asbestos claims described below, and that, with respect to these claims, such indemnity obligations are not subject to any time or dollar limitations.
The following paragraph summarizes the most significant actions and proceedings for which Hamilton Sundstrand has accepted responsibility:
•Rexnord Industries is a defendant in multiple lawsuits pending in state or federal court in numerous jurisdictions relating to alleged personal injuries due to the alleged presence of asbestos in certain clutches and drives previously manufactured by The Falk Corporation. The ultimate outcome of these lawsuits cannot presently be determined. Hamilton Sundstrand is defending Rexnord Industries in these lawsuits pursuant to its indemnity obligations and has paid 100% of the costs to date.
The Company is, from time to time, party to litigation and other legal or regulatory proceedings that arise in the normal course of its business operations and the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty, including product warranty and liability claims, contract disputes and environmental, asbestos, intellectual property, employment and other litigation matters. The Company's products are used in a variety of industrial, commercial and residential applications that subject the Company to claims that the use of its products is alleged to have resulted in injury or other damage. Many of these matters will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Management conducts regular reviews, including updates from legal counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise in judgment. The Company accrues for exposures in amounts that it believes are adequate, and the Company does not believe that the outcome of any such lawsuit individually or collectively will have a material effect on the Company's financial position, its results of operations or its cash flows.
The Company recognizes the cost associated with its standard warranty on its products at the time of sale. The amount recognized is based on historical experience. The following is a reconciliation of the changes in accrued warranty costs for 2017fiscal 2022 and 2016 (in millions):fiscal 2021:

(13) Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed using derivative instruments are commodity price risk, currency exchange risk, and interest rate risk. Forward contracts on certain commodities are entered into to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in the Company's manufacturing process. Forward contracts on certain currencies are entered into to manage forecasted cash flows in certain foreign currencies. Interest rate swaps were previouslyare utilized to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company's floating rate borrowings.
The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to various financial agreements, including its commodity hedging transactions, foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements. Exposure to counterparty credit risk is managed by limiting counterparties to major international banks and financial institutions meeting established credit guidelines and continually monitoring their compliance with the credit guidelines. The Company does not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by its counterparties, but cannot provide assurances.
The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company designates commodity forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted purchases of commodities, currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency cash flows and interest rate swaps as cash flow
99
hedges of forecasted LIBOR-basedSOFR-based interest payments. There were no significant collateral deposits on derivative financial instruments as of December 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.2022 or January 1, 2022.
Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
