3. Acquisitions and Divestitures

During the third quarter of fiscal 2026, Adient acquired a foam manufacturing operation in the Americas for total purchase consideration of $11 million, of which $4 million was paid at closing in April 2026. The remaining consideration is expected to be paid no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2027. No goodwill or intangible assets were recorded as a result of the acquisition.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Adient invested $4 million to acquire 49% interest in a joint venture in China. The investment is expected to expand Adient's commercial and geographical footprint in China. The new investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting and presented as part of investments in partially-owned affiliates on Adient's consolidated statements of financial position.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, Adient acquired all of the noncontrolling interest in Technotrim, Inc. ("Technotrim") for a value of $28 million and sold all of its partially-owned interests in Setex, Inc. and Setex SRL (together as "Setex") for a value of $27 million. The sale of Setex resulted in a one-time gain on sale of $4 million. The acquisition of all noncontrolling interest in Technotrim was recorded to equity. The transactions are expected to provide additional synergies through optimization of Adient's manufacturing footprint and additional control over its manufacturing presence in the Americas.
