A wide variety of potential risks, uncertainties, and other factors could materially affect our ability to achieve the results either expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, risks related to the ultimate accounting treatment of our disposition of our Insights Business, public health crises, instability and changes in the global markets, supplier interruption or nonperformance, the acquisition or disposition of businesses, adverse conditions or competition in the industries upon which we are dependent, intellectual property, product liability, warranty, and recall claims, market acceptance of new product introductions and product innovations, labor disruptions or increased labor costs, and changes in existing environmental or safety laws, regulations, and programs. Detailed information about these and other risks is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because actual results could differ materially from our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about the future, you are urged to view all forward-looking statements contained in this Form 8-K with caution. Except as required by applicable law, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Item 2.06 | Material Impairments. | ||||
In August 2024, affiliates of Sensata Technologies Holding plc (the “Company”) entered into a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") to sell its Insights Business (“Insights”) to an affiliate of Balmoral Funds, a private equity firm in Los Angeles, California, in exchange for total cash consideration of approximately $165 million, subject to working capital and other customary adjustments. The Company expects to close the sale of Insights in 2024, subject to regulatory and other closing conditions.
In connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company expects to record a non-cash pre-tax charge of approximately $95 million in the third quarter of 2024. The Company does not anticipate that this charge will result in future cash expenditures.
Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. | ||||
As described in Item 2.06 above, the Company expects its third quarter 2024 net income to be impacted by the expected non-cash, pre-tax charge of approximately $95 million, relating to the sale of Insights. Notwithstanding this charge, the Company reaffirms its third quarter 2024 financial guidance relating to Revenue, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS, as discussed in its press release dated July 29, 2024. To reflect the sale of Insights, revenue for the fourth quarter is expected to be in the range of $920 million to $950 million.
