(1)    BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of Axalta Coating Systems Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares, and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Axalta," the "Company," "we," "our" and "us") at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the results of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Axalta and its subsidiaries, and entities in which a controlling interest is maintained. Certain of our joint ventures are accounted for on a one-month lag basis, the effect of which is not material.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In March 2020, we adopted ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform" which provides optional expedients exercisable through December 31, 2022 to ease the potential burden in accounting for the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting.      In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope,” which clarified the scope and application of the original guidance. As of March 31, 2021, the expedients provided in this standard do not impact the Company. We will continue to monitor for potential impacts on our financial statements.
In December 2020, we adopted ASU 2019-12, "Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes", which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and updating provisions related to accounting for franchise (or similar) tax partially based on income and interim recognition of enactment of tax law changes. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
Risks and Uncertainties
In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the coronavirus ("COVID-19") a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The rapid spread of the pandemic and the continuously evolving responses to combat it have had a negative impact on the global economy. The Company's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows were significantly impacted during 2020 as a result of the pandemic and we continue to see impacts to our business given the continued significant presence, and actual or potential spread, of the virus globally, as well as preventative measures enacted in certain regions of the world. We are currently unable to fully determine the future impact of COVID-19 on our business, though we believe the pandemic will continue to have a negative effect on our business during 2021, and potentially longer. We are monitoring the progression of the pandemic and its ongoing and potential effect on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, which effects could be materially adverse in a particular quarterly reporting period as well as on an annual basis for 2021, and potentially longer.
(2)    REVENUE
Consideration for products in which control has transferred to our customers that is conditional on something other than the passage of time is recorded as a contract asset within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the balance sheet. The contract asset balances at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $38.1 million and $37.2 million, respectively.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(In millions, unless otherwise noted)

We provide certain customers with incremental up-front consideration, subject to clawback provisions, including Business Incentive Plan assets ("BIPs"), which is capitalized as a component of other assets and amortized over the estimated life of the contractual arrangement as a reduction of net sales. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total carrying value of BIPs were $161.0 million and $165.4 million, respectively, and are presented within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, $15.3 million, and $16.9 million, respectively, was amortized and reflected as reductions of net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The total carrying value of BIPs exclude other upfront incentives made in conjunction with long-term customer commitments of $74.2 million and $79.8 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which will be repaid in future periods.
See Note 16 for disaggregated net sales by end-market.

2025 66.2 
2026 65.6 
(4)    RESTRUCTURING
In accordance with the applicable guidance for ASC 712, Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits, we accounted for termination benefits and recognized liabilities when the loss was considered probable that employees were entitled to benefits and the amounts could be reasonably estimated.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we incurred costs for termination benefits of $4.5 million, and $18.5 million, respectively. These amounts are recorded within other operating charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The remaining payments associated with these actions are expected to be substantially completed within 24 months.
The following table summarizes the activity related to termination benefit reserves and expenses from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021:
2021 Activity
Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 55.8 
Expenses, net of changes to estimates 4.5 
Payments made (19.2)
Foreign currency translation (1.5)
Balance at March 31, 2021 $ 39.6 
(5)    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees
We guarantee certain of our customers’ obligations to third parties, whereby any default by our customers on their obligations could force us to make payments to the applicable creditors. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had outstanding bank guarantees of $8.2 million and $8.5 million, respectively. A portion of our bank guarantees expire between 2021 and 2026, while others do not have specified expiration dates. We monitor the customer obligations and bank guarantees to evaluate whether we have a liability at the balance sheet date. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred a $1.0 million charge related to our outstanding bank guarantees. We did not have any liabilities related to our outstanding bank guarantees recorded at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Operational Matter
In January 2021, we became aware of an operational matter affecting certain North America Mobility Coatings customer manufacturing sites. The matter involves the use and application of certain of our products in combination with and incorporated within third party products. The matter occurred over a discrete period during the fourth quarter of 2020.
When we filed, and as disclosed in, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, we estimated that it was reasonably possible that losses associated with the matter could have been up to $250 million. Based on further developments since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have concluded that losses from this matter are probable and, therefore, recorded a charge of $94.4 million for such probable losses during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The recorded probable losses are an estimate and actual costs arising from this matter could be materially lower or higher depending on the actual costs incurred to repair the impacted products.
Based on the information currently available surrounding the full scope and associated responsibilities among relevant parties, we believe it is reasonably possible that we could incur losses in addition to the recorded probable losses of up to $65 million. We maintain insurance, with significant policy limits, that could provide coverage for the liabilities or other

11
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(In millions, unless otherwise noted)

losses that may arise from this matter. We have submitted an insurance claim, and discussions with our insurers are ongoing. No agreement or resolution has been reached.
Other
We are subject to various pending lawsuits, legal proceedings and other claims in the ordinary course of business, including civil, regulatory and environmental matters. These matters may involve third-party indemnification obligations and/or insurance covering all or part of any potential damage incurred by us. All of these matters are subject to many uncertainties and, accordingly, we cannot determine the ultimate outcome of the proceedings and other claims at this time. The potential effects, if any, on our consolidated financial statements will be recorded in the period in which these matters are probable and estimable. Except as set forth in the "Operational Matter" section above, we believe that any sum we may be required to pay in connection with proceedings or claims in excess of the amounts recorded would likely not have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations, financial conditions or cash flows on a consolidated annual basis but could have a material adverse impact in a particular quarterly reporting period.
We are involved in environmental remediation and ongoing compliance activities at several sites. The timing and duration of remediation and ongoing compliance activities are determined on a site by site basis depending on local regulations. The liabilities recorded represent our estimable future remediation costs and other anticipated environmental liabilities. We have not recorded liabilities at sites where a liability is probable, but that a range of loss is not reasonably estimable. We believe that any sum we may be required to pay in connection with environmental remediation matters in excess of the amounts recorded would likely occur over a period of time and would likely not have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows on a consolidated annual basis but could have a material adverse impact in a particular quarterly reporting period.

We recognized tax benefits on stock-based compensation of $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Effective Tax Rate 19.5  % (88.5) %
The Company's effective tax rate for the periods reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements are not directly comparable primarily due to the intra-entity asset transfers of certain of its intellectual property and the impacts of certain ongoing tax audits, which occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and are discussed below.
On January 1, 2020, we completed an intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property rights (the “IP”) to our Swiss subsidiary, where our EMEA regional headquarters is located. The transfer of the IP did not result in a taxable gain; however, it did result in step-up of the Swiss tax-deductible basis in the transferred assets and, accordingly, created a temporary difference between the book basis and the tax basis of the IP, which was transferred at fair value. We applied significant judgment when determining the fair value of the IP, which serves as the tax basis of the deferred tax asset. Consequently, this transaction resulted in the recognition of a deferred tax asset at the applicable Swiss tax rate, resulting in a one-time tax benefit of $50.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company expects to be able to realize the deferred tax assets resulting from these intra-entity asset transfers.
In connection with the income tax audit in Germany for the tax period 2010-2013, the Germany Tax Authority (“GTA”) indicated that it believed that certain positions taken on the 2010-2013 corporate income tax returns were not in compliance with German tax law. While the Company disagrees with the conclusions of the GTA based on the technical merits of our positions, after extensive discussions with the GTA and to avoid a potentially long and costly litigation process, in March 2020 the Company expressed a willingness to settle with the GTA on certain matters and expects to reach a formal agreement in the coming months. As a result of these changes, the Company recorded a charge to income tax expense of $14.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company is also currently under audit in Germany for tax years 2014-2017 and is prepared to vigorously defend itself on these matters.
The Company anticipates that it is reasonably possible it will settle up to $11.8 million, exclusive of interest and penalties, of its current unrecognized tax benefits within 2021 due to the conclusion of the 2010-2013 German income tax audit.

(10)    NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income per common share excludes the dilutive impact of potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share includes the effect of potential dilution from the hypothetical exercise of outstanding stock options and vesting of restricted shares and performance shares. A reconciliation of our basic and diluted net income per common share is as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions, except per share data) 2021 2020
Net income to common shareholders $ 15.2  $ 52.2 
Basic weighted average shares outstanding 233.9  234.9 
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 234.7  235.9 
Net income per common share:
Basic net income per share $ 0.06  $ 0.22 
Diluted net income per share $ 0.06  $ 0.22 
The number of anti-dilutive shares that have been excluded in the computation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were 1.5 million and 2.6 million, respectively.
(11)    ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE, NET
Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount we expect to collect. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses by applying historical loss percentages, combined with reasonable and supportable forecasts of future losses, to respective aging categories. Management considers the following factors in developing its current estimate of expected credit losses: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, changes in market or regulatory matters, and changes in customer payment terms, including the ongoing impacts from COVID-19.

Long-term borrowings - The estimated fair values of these borrowings are based on recent trades, as reported by a third-party pricing service. Due to the infrequency of trades, these inputs are considered to be Level 2 inputs.
Derivative instruments - The Company’s interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, and foreign currency forward contracts are valued using broker quotations, or market transactions in either the listed or over-the-counter markets. As such, these derivative instruments are included in the Level 2 hierarchy.
The table below presents the fair values of our financial instruments measured on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
