CURTISS-WRIGHT CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES to CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Curtiss-Wright Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Corporation" or the "Company") is a global, diversified ~~multinational~~ manufacturing and service company that designs, manufactures, and overhauls precision components and provides highly engineered products and services to the aerospace, defense, power generation, and general industrial markets.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Curtiss-Wright and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements.

Management is required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant of these estimates includes the estimate of costs to complete long-term contracts under the percentage-of-completion accounting methods, the estimate of useful lives for property, plant, and equipment, cash flow estimates used for testing the recoverability of assets, pension plan and postretirement obligation assumptions, estimates for inventory obsolescence, estimates for the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets, legal reserves, and the estimate of future environmental costs. Changes in estimates of contract sales, costs, and profits are recognized using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. This method recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods. Accordingly, the effect of the changes on future periods of contract performance is recognized as if the revised estimate had been the original estimate. In the three month periods ended March 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, there were no individual significant changes in estimated contract costs. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s ~~2016~~2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of the operating results for a full year.

Recent accounting pronouncements adopted

ASU 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers - On January 1, 2018, the Corporation adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and the related amendments (“new revenue standard”) using the modified retrospective method. The Corporation recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the retained earnings balance as of January 1, 2018. Comparative information for prior periods has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standard in effect for those respective periods.

The cumulative effect from the adoption of the new revenue standard as of January 1, 2018 was as follows:



~~Standard~~	~~Description~~	~~Effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements~~
~~ASU 2017-04 Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment~~	In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment testing by removing step two. This guidance was early adopted effective January 1, 2017 and will be applied prospectively.	~~The adoption of this standard does not have a financial impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.~~
~~Date of adoption: January 1, 2017~~
~~ASU 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting~~	In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including the accounting for income taxes and forfeitures. Excess tax benefits previously reported as cash flows from financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are now required to be reported as operating activities. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2017.	The Corporation prospectively recorded an income tax benefit of $4 million within the provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2017 related to the excess tax benefit on stock options and performance share units. Prior to adoption, this amount would have been recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital. ~~The Corporation elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, which did not have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.~~
~~Date of adoption: January 1, 2017~~

ASU 2017-07, Retirement Benefits - Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost - On January 1, 2018, the Corporation adopted the amendments to ASC 715 that improve the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs. The Corporation retrospectively adopted the presentation of service cost separate from the other components of net periodic costs and included it as a component of employee compensation cost in operating income. The interest cost, expected return on assets, amortization of prior service costs, and net actuarial gain/loss components of net periodic benefit costs have been reclassified from operating income to other income, net. Additionally, the Corporation elected to apply the practical expedient which allows it to reclassify amounts disclosed previously in Note 15 of the Corporation's 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K as the basis for applying retrospective presentation for comparative periods.

The effect of the retrospective change on the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2017, was as follows:

ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations - Clarifying the Definition of a Business. On January 1, 2018, the Corporation adopted the amendments to ASC 805 which clarifies the definition of a business. The standard introduces a screen for determining when assets acquired are not a business and clarifies that a business must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that contribute to an output. The adoption of this standard did not have a financial impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements to be adopted



Standard	Description	Effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements
~~ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~	In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard which will supersede previous existing revenue recognition guidance. The standard creates a five-step model for revenue recognition that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering contract terms and relevant facts and circumstances. The five-step model includes (1) identifying the contract, (2) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations and (5) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation has been satisfied. The standard also requires expanded disclosures surrounding revenue recognition. The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption.	The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the method of adoption as of January 1, 2018. While our assessment is still ongoing and not complete, we do not believe that the standard will have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements based on a preliminary review of our customer contracts. However, the FASB has issued, and may issue in the future, interpretive guidance which may cause our evaluation to change.
~~Date of adoption: January 1, 2018~~
ASU 2016-02 Leases	In February 2016, the FASB issued final guidance that will require lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to today’s accounting. ~~The guidance requires the use of a modified retrospective approach.~~	The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Date of adoption: January 1, 2019
ASU ~~2017-01~~ ~~Clarifying the Definition~~2018-02 Reclassification of ~~a Business~~ Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income	In ~~January 2017,~~February 2018, the FASB issued ASU ~~2017-01, which clarifies~~2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU permits the ~~definition~~reclassification of tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings as a ~~business to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals~~result of ~~assets or businesses.~~the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Act).

The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Date of adoption: January 1, ~~2018~~
~~ASU 2017-07~~ ~~Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost~~	In March 2017, the FASB issued final guidance that will change how the net periodic benefit cost for defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans are presented in the income statement and the respective capitalization of assets on the balance sheet. The guidance requires the use of a retrospective approach for the presentation of the income statement and a prospective approach for the presentation of the balance sheet.	~~The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.~~
~~Date of adoption: January 1, 2018~~2019

Impact from the Tax Act

In accordance with Staff Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Corporation recognized the income tax effects of the Tax Act in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Corporation recorded additional provisional tax expense of $6.5 million for foreign withholding taxes associated with the Tax Act. The Corporation expects to finalize any provisional amounts associated with the Tax Act over the next nine months based on ongoing assessment of its tax positions and other relevant data.

2.2. REVENUE

As discussed in Note 1, the Corporation accounts for revenues in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which was adopted as January 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of a promised good and/or service is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Corporation expects to be entitled to in exchange for that good and/or service.

Performance Obligations

The Corporation identifies a performance obligation for each promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. As part of its assessment, the Corporation considers all goods and/or services promised in the contract, regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. The Corporation’s contracts may contain either a single performance obligation, including the promise to transfer individual goods or services that are not separately distinct within the context of the respective contracts, or multiple performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Corporation allocates the overall transaction price to each performance obligation using standalone selling prices, where available, or utilizes estimates for each distinct good or service in the contract where standalone prices are not available.

The Corporation’s performance obligations are satisfied either at a point-in-time or on an over-time basis. Revenue recognized on an over-time basis accounted for approximately 31% of total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Typically, over-time revenue recognition is based on the utilization of an input measure used to measure progress, such as costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs. Revenue recognized at a point-in-time accounted for approximately 69% of total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Revenue for these types of arrangements is recognized at the point in time in which control is transferred to the customer, typically based upon the terms of delivery.

Contract backlog represents the remaining performance obligations that have not yet been recognized as revenue. Backlog includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. Total backlog was approximately $2.1 billion as of March 31, 2018, of which the Corporation expects to recognize approximately 88% as net sales over the next 12 -36 months. The remainder will be recognized thereafter.

Total	$	547,522	$	523,591

Contract Balances

Timing of revenue recognition and cash collection may result in billed receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and deferred revenue (contract liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Corporation’s contract assets primarily relate to its rights to consideration for work completed but not billed as of the reporting date. Contract assets are transferred to billed receivables when the rights to consideration become unconditional. This is typical in situations where amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms or upon achievement of contractual milestones. The Corporation’s contract liabilities primarily consist of customer advances received prior to revenue being earned. Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2018 included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the year was approximately $36 million. Changes in contract assets and contract liabilities as of March 31, 2018, were not materially impacted by any other factors. Contract assets and contract liabilities are reported in the "Receivables, net" and "Deferred revenue" lines, respectively, within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

3. ACQUISITIONS

The Corporation continually evaluates potential acquisitions that either strategically fit within the Corporation’s existing portfolio or expand the Corporation’s portfolio into new product lines or adjacent markets. The Corporation has completed a number of acquisitions that have been accounted for as business combinations and have resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Corporation's financial statements. This goodwill arises because the purchase prices for these businesses reflect the future earnings and cash flow potential in excess of the earnings and cash flows attributable to the current product and customer set at the time of acquisition. Thus, goodwill inherently includes the know-how of the assembled workforce, the ability of the workforce to further improve the technology and product offerings, and the expected cash flows resulting from these efforts. Goodwill may also include expected synergies resulting from the complementary strategic fit these businesses bring to existing operations.

The Corporation allocates the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. In the months after closing, as the Corporation obtains additional information about these assets and liabilities, including through tangible and intangible asset appraisals, and as the Corporation learns more about the newly acquired business, it is able to refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price. Only items identified as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment. The Corporation will make appropriate adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to completion of the measurement period, as required.

7.8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Forward Foreign Exchange and Currency Option Contracts

The Corporation has foreign currency exposure primarily in the United Kingdom, Europe, and Canada. The Corporation uses financial instruments, such as forward contracts, to hedge a portion of existing and anticipated foreign currency denominated transactions. The purpose of the Corporation’s foreign currency risk management program is to reduce volatility in earnings caused

Page 14

CURTISS-WRIGHT CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES to CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

by exchange rate fluctuations. Guidance on accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities requires companies to recognize all of the derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based upon quoted market prices for comparable instruments.

Interest Rate Risks and Related Strategies

The Corporation’s primary interest rate exposure results from changes in U.S. dollar interest rates. The Corporation’s policy is to manage interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. The Corporation periodically uses interest rate swaps to manage such exposures. Under these interest rate swaps, the Corporation exchanges, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount.

The ~~fair value accounting guidance requires that assets~~Corporation’s foreign exchange contracts and ~~liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:~~

interest rate swaps are considered Level ~~1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company has the ability to access.~~

~~Level 2: Observable~~2 instruments which are based on market based inputs or unobservable inputs ~~that are~~and corroborated by market data such as quoted prices, interest rates, ~~and~~or yield curves.

~~Level 3: Inputs are unobservable data points that are not corroborated by market data.~~

~~Based upon the fair value hierarchy, all of the forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps are valued at a Level 2.~~

Effects on Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets

As of March 31, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, the fair values of the asset and liability derivative instruments are immaterial.

The estimated fair value amounts were determined by the Corporation using available market information that is primarily based on quoted market prices for the same or similar ~~issues~~issuances as of March 31, ~~2017~~2018. Accordingly, all of the Corporation’s debt is valued at a Level 2. The fair values described below may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, the use of different methodologies to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

~~The carrying amount of the variable interest rate debt approximates fair value as the interest rates are reset periodically to reflect current market conditions.~~

~~12.~~13. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

Legal Proceedings

The Corporation has been named in a number of lawsuits that allege injury from exposure to asbestos. To date, the Corporation has not been found liable for or paid any material sum of money in settlement in any case. The Corporation believes its minimal use of asbestos in its past operations and the relatively non-friable condition of asbestos in its products makes it unlikely that it will face material liability in any asbestos litigation, whether individually or in the aggregate. The Corporation maintains insurance coverage for these potential liabilities and believes adequate coverage exists to cover any unanticipated asbestos liability.

In December 2013, the Corporation, along with other unaffiliated parties, received a claim from Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL) filed in the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta, Judicial District of Calgary. The claim pertains to a January 2011 fire and explosion at a delayed coker unit at its Fort McMurray refinery that resulted in the injury of five CNRL employees, damage to property and equipment, and various forms of consequential loss, such as loss of profit, lost opportunities, and business interruption. The fire and explosion occurred when a CNRL employee bypassed certain safety controls and opened an operating coker unit. The total quantum of alleged damages arising from the incident has not been finalized, but is estimated to meet or exceed $1 billion. The Corporation maintains various forms of commercial, property and casualty, product liability, and other forms of insurance; however, such insurance may not be adequate to cover the costs associated with a judgment against us. In October 2017, all parties agreed in principle to participate in a formal mediation in late 2018 with the intention of settling this claim. In an effort to induce the parties to participate in the formal mediation, CNRL agreed to reduce its claim to approximately $400 million, which reflects the monetary amount of property damage incurred as a result of the fire and explosion. The Corporation is currently unable to estimate an amount, or range of potential losses, if any, from this matter. The Corporation believes that it has adequate legal defenses and intends to defend

(UNAUDITED)

~~intends to defend~~ this matter vigorously. The Corporation's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be materially affected during a future fiscal quarter or fiscal year by unfavorable developments or outcome regarding this claim.

~~In addition to the CNRL litigation, the~~The Corporation is party to a number of other legal actions and claims, none of which individually or in the aggregate, in the opinion of management, are expected to have a material effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial position.

Westinghouse Bankruptcy

On March 29, 2017, ~~Westinghouse Electric Company (“WEC”)~~WEC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the Court), Case No. 17-10751. The ~~Bankruptcy~~ Court overseeing the Bankruptcy Case ~~has~~ approved, on an interim basis, an $800 million Debtor-in-Possession Financing Facility to help WEC finance its business operations during the reorganization process. On January 4, 2018, WEC announced that it had agreed to be acquired by Brookfield Business Partners L.P (Brookfield) for approximately $4.6 billion with the acquisition expected to close in the third quarter of 2018. On March 27, 2018, the Court approved the sale to Brookfield. The acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations as WEC plans to continue operating in the ordinary course of business under existing senior management.

The Corporation had approximately $8$2.9 million in pre-petition billings outstanding with WEC as of March 31, 2018. On March 27, 2018, the ~~bankruptcy filing date. The~~Court approved WEC's Plan of Reorganization, whereby the Corporation is expected to recover substantially all of its general unsecured claims inclusive of pre-petition billings. As it relates to post-petition work, the Corporation will continue ~~for the time being and while it monitors and evaluates the Bankruptcy Case,~~ to honor its executory contracts and expects to collect all ~~post-petition~~ amounts due. At this time, the Corporation has assessed that any pre-petition amounts will be substantially recoverable and does not believe that rejection of the outstanding contracts with WEC, taken in part or combined, would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s cash flow or operations. The Corporation ~~continues~~will continue to monitor and evaluate the status of the WEC bankruptcy ~~as well as the status of the plant construction projects~~ for potential impacts on ~~our~~its business.

Letters of Credit and Other Financial Arrangements

The Corporation enters into standby letters of credit agreements and guarantees with financial institutions and customers primarily relating to guarantees of repayment, future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services, and to secure advance payments from certain international customers. At As of March 31, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016~~,2017, there were ~~$51.6~~$20.7 million and ~~$47.2~~$21.3 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding, respectively, and ~~$13.7~~$15.0 million and ~~$12.8~~$14.6 million of bank guarantees outstanding, respectively. In addition, the Corporation is required to provide the Nuclear Regulatory Commission financial assurance demonstrating its ability to cover the cost of decommissioning its Cheswick, Pennsylvania facility upon closure, though the Corporation does not intend to close this facility. The Corporation has provided this financial assurance in the form of a $56.0 million surety bond.

AP1000 Program

Within the Corporation’s Power segment, our Electro-Mechanical Division is the reactor coolant pump (RCP) supplier for the WEC AP1000 nuclear power plants under construction in China and the United States. The terms of the AP1000 China and United States contracts include liquidated damage penalty provisions for failure to meet contractual delivery dates if the Corporation caused the delay and the delay was not excusable. On October 10, 2013, the Corporation received a letter from WEC stating entitlements to the maximum amount of liquidated damages allowable under the AP1000 China contract of approximately $25 million. The Corporation would be liable for liquidated damages under the contract if certain contractual delivery dates were not met and if the Corporation was deemed responsible for the delay. As of March 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the Corporation has not met certain contractual delivery dates under its AP 1000 contracts; however there are significant uncertainties as to which parties are responsible for the delays. The Corporation believes it has adequate legal defenses and intends to vigorously defend this matter. Given the uncertainties surrounding the responsibility for the delays, no accrual has been made for this matter as of March 31, ~~2017. The~~2018. As of March 31, 2018, the range of possible loss is $0 million to $31 million for the AP1000 U.S. contract, for a total range of possible loss is $0 million to $55.5 million.

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 2, 2018, the Corporation acquired the assets of the Dresser-Rand Government Business (Dresser-Rand) for $212.5 million in cash. Dresser-Rand operates as a business unit of Siemens Government Technologies, which is a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of Siemens AG in Germany. Dresser-Rand is a leading designer and manufacturer of mission-critical, high-speed rotating equipment solutions and also acts as the sole supplier of steam turbines and main engine guard valves on all aircraft carrier programs. The acquired business will operate within the Corporation's Power segment.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS of

FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued

COMPANY ORGANIZATION

Curtiss-Wright Corporation and its subsidiaries is a global, diversified, industrial provider of highly engineered and technologically advanced products and services to a broad range of industries which are reported through our Commercial/Industrial, Defense, and Power segments. We are positioned as a market leader across a diversified array of niche markets through engineering and technological leadership, precision manufacturing, and strong relationships with our customers. We provide products and services to a number of global markets, including the commercial aerospace, defense, power generation, and general industrial markets. Our overall strategy is to be a balanced and diversified company, less vulnerable to cycles or downturns in any one market, and to establish strong positions in profitable niche markets. Approximately ~~38%~~40% of our ~~2017~~2018 revenues are expected to be generated from defense-related markets.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of the Corporation for the three months ended March 31, ~~2017.~~2018. The financial information as of March 31, ~~2017~~2018 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, ~~2016~~2017 contained in our Form 10-K.

The MD&A is organized into the following sections: Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Results by Business Segment, and Liquidity and Capital Resources. Our discussion will be focused on the overall results of operations followed by a more detailed discussion of those results within each of our reportable segments.

Our three reportable segments are generally concentrated in a few end markets; however, each may have sales across several end markets. A market is defined as an area of demand for products and services. The sales trends for the relevant markets will be discussed throughout the MD&A.

Analytical Definitions

Throughout management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, the terms “incremental” and “organic” are used to explain changes from period to period. The term “incremental” is used to highlight the impact acquisitions and divestitures had on the current year results. The results of operations for acquisitions are incremental for the first twelve months from the date of acquisition. Additionally, the results of operations of divested businesses are removed from the comparable prior year period for purposes of calculating “organic” or “incremental” results. The definition of “organic” excludes the effect of foreign currency translation.

On a segment basis, sales from the Commercial/Industrial segment, Defense segment, and Power segment increased $18 million, $4 million, ~~$9 million,~~ and $7$2 million, respectively. Changes in sales by segment are discussed in further detail in the results by business segment section.

Operating income during the first quarter of 2018increased $17 million, or 35%, to $64 million, and operating margin increased 270 basis points, to 11.8%, from the comparable prior year period. The increases in operating income and operating margin are primarily attributable to higher sales volumes of our industrial vehicles and surface treatment services in the Commercial/Industrial segment, the benefits of our ongoing margin improvement initiatives, and improved profitability in the Defense segment as we moved beyond first year purchase accounting costs from our TTC acquisition.

Defense market sales increased $9$22 million, or 5%12%, to $184 million, from the comparable prior year period. Aerospace defense sales increased primarily due to the incremental impact of our TTC acquisition which contributed $7 million in sales, partially offset by the timing of production on various fighter jet and rotorcraft programs. Lower sales in the naval defense market were primarily due to the timing of production on the Virginia-class submarine program.

Commercial market sales increased $2 million, or less than 1%, to $342 million, from the comparable prior year period. In the general industrial market, we experienced increased demand of $7 million for our industrial vehicle ~~and medical mobility~~ products.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources and Use of Cash

We derive the majority of our operating cash inflow from receipts on the sale of goods and services and cash outflow for the procurement of materials and labor; cash flow is therefore subject to market fluctuations and conditions. Most of our long-term contracts allow for several billing points (progress or milestone) that provide us with cash receipts as costs are incurred throughout the project rather than upon contract completion, thereby reducing working capital requirements. In some cases, these payments can exceed the costs incurred on a project.

Financing Activities

Debt

The Corporation’s debt outstanding had an average interest rate of ~~4.0%~~3.7% and ~~3.4%~~4.0% for the three months ended March 31, ~~2017~~2018 and March 31, ~~2016,~~2017, respectively. The Corporation's average debt outstanding was $800 million and $950 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2017~~2018 and March 31, ~~2016,~~2017, respectively.

Revolving Credit Agreement

As of March 31, ~~2017~~2018, the Corporation had no borrowings under the 2012 Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement" or "credit facility") and $5221 million in letters of credit supported by the credit facility. The unused credit available under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, ~~2017~~2018 was ~~$448~~$479 million, which could be borrowed without violating any of our debt covenants.

Repurchase of common stock

During the first three months of ~~2017~~2018, the Corporation used ~~$13~~$12 million of cash to repurchase approximately ~~133,000~~95,000 outstanding shares under its share repurchase program. During the first quarter of ~~2016,~~2017, the Corporation used ~~$30~~$13 million of cash to repurchase approximately ~~429,000~~133,000 outstanding shares.

Cash Utilization

Management continually evaluates cash utilization alternatives, including share repurchases, acquisitions, and increased dividends to determine the most beneficial use of available capital resources. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, available borrowings under the credit facility, and ability to raise additional capital through the credit markets are sufficient to meet both the short-term and long-term capital needs of the organization.

Debt Compliance

As of the date of this report, we were in compliance with all debt agreements and credit facility covenants, including our most restrictive covenant, which is our debt to capitalization limit of 60%. The debt to capitalization limit is a measure of our indebtedness (as defined per the notes purchase agreement and credit facility) to capitalization, where capitalization equals debt plus equity, and is the same for and applies to all of our debt agreements and credit facility.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of these statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by the application of our accounting policies. Critical accounting policies are those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. A summary of significant accounting policies and a description of accounting policies that are considered critical may be found in our ~~2016~~2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February ~~21, 2017,~~22, 2018, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1, and the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Additionally, refer above to Note 2 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for our revised accounting policy on revenue recognition, which became effective on January 1, 2018.

There have been no material changes in our market risk during the three months ended March 31, ~~2017~~2018. Information regarding market risk and market risk management policies is more fully described in item “7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” of our ~~2016~~2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of March 31, ~~2017~~2018, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, ~~2017~~2018 insofar as they are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and they include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

~~There~~During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, we implemented changes to our accounting processes and procedures in response to the adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which became effective on January 1, 2018. However, there have ~~not~~ been ~~any~~no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, ~~2017~~2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In December 2013, the Corporation, along with other unaffiliated parties, received a claim from Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL), which was filed in the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta, Judicial District of Calgary. The claim pertains to a January 2011 fire and explosion at a delayed coker unit at its Fort McMurray refinery that resulted in the injury of five CNRL employees, damage to ~~Property~~property and equipment, and various forms of consequential loss such as loss of profit, lost opportunities, and business interruption. The fire and explosion occurred when a CNRL employee bypassed certain safety controls and opened an operating coker unit. The total quantum of alleged damages arising from the incident has not been finalized, but is estimated to meet or exceed $1 billion. ~~Although the parties tentatively agreed to mediate the claim, no progress has been made to further pursue the claim.

In an effort to induce the parties to participate in the formal mediation, CNRL agreed to reduce its claim to approximately $400 million, which reflects the monetary amount of property damage incurred as result of the fire and explosion. We are currently unable to estimate an amount, or range of potential losses, if any, from this matter. ~~The Corporation believes it has~~We believe that we have adequate legal defenses and ~~intends~~intend to defend this matter vigorously. ~~The Corporation's~~Our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be materially affected during a future fiscal quarter or fiscal year by unfavorable developments or outcome regarding this claim.
