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 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 on contracts using the over-time revenue recognition accounting method, ~~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, fair value estimates around assets and assumed liabilities from acquisitions, 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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, there were no 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 ~~2018~~2019 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.

On January 1, 2020, the Corporation implemented an organizational change to align its reportable segments more closely with its current business structure. This change resulted in the transfer of two business units, one from the Commercial/Industrial segment to the Defense segment and the other from the Defense segment to the Power segment. While this organizational change resulted in the recasting of previously reported amounts across all reportable segments, it did not impact the Corporation’s previously reported consolidated financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements adopted

~~ASU 2016-02 - Leases -~~ ASU 2016-13 -Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. On January 1, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 -Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU added a current expected credit loss impairment model to U.S. GAAP based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. As the Corporation ~~adopted ASC 842,~~ is not subject to material trade credit risk given that a significant portion of its sales are generated from contracts with agencies of or prime contractors to the U.S. Government~~Leases,~~ ~~using~~, the optional transition method of adoption which permits the entity to continue presenting all periods prior to January 1, 2019 under previous lease accounting guidance. In conjunction with the adoption, the Corporation elected the package of practical expedients which permits the entity to forgo reassessment of conclusions reached regarding lease existence and lease classification under previous guidance, as well as the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components. Further, the Corporation made an accounting policy election to account for short-term leases in a manner consistent with the methodology applied under previous guidance. The adoption of this standard ~~resulted~~did not result in ~~an increase of approximately $151 million in both total assets and total liabilities in the Corporation’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet~~any impact to its allowance for doubtful accounts balance as of January 1, ~~2019.~~

~~ASU 2018-02 - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income~~ ~~- On January 1, 2019, the Corporation adopted ASU 2018-02,~~ ~~Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which permits the reclassification of tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings as~~2020. As a result of adoption, the ~~2017 Tax Cuts~~Corporation utilizes current and ~~Jobs Act (the Tax Act). The adoption of this standard resulted~~historical collection data as well as assess current economic conditions in order to determine expected trade credit losses on a ~~reclassification of $26 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings in the Corporation’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2019.~~prospective basis.

2. REVENUE

The Corporation recognizes revenue 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

Page 10

CURTISS-WRIGHT CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES to CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

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 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 accounted for approximately 47% and 48%, respectively, of total net sales. Revenue recognized on an over-time basis for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018 accounted for approximately 49% and 46%, respectively, of total net sales. 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 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 accounted for approximately 53% and 52%, respectively, of total net sales. Revenue recognized at a point-in-time for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018 accounted for approximately 51% and 54%, respectively, of total net sales. Revenue for these types of arrangementsPoint-in-time revenue is recognized at the point in time in which control is transferred to the customer, typically based upon the terms of delivery.

The following table illustrates the approximate percentage of revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied over-time versus at a point-in-time for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Over-time	50	%	47	%	52	%	48	%
Point-in-time	50	%	53	%	48	%	52	%

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 $2.2 billion as of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, of which the Corporation expects to recognize approximately ~~92%~~90% as net sales over the next 12-36 months. The remainder will be recognized thereafter.

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~~

NOTES to CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

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 and nine months ended September 30, ~~2019 and 2018~~2020 included in the contract liabilities balance atas of January 1, 2020 was approximately $37 million and $197 million, respectively. Revenue recognized during the ~~beginning~~three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 included in the contract liabilities balance as of ~~the year~~January 1, 2019 was approximately $26 million and $159 ~~million, respectively, and $30 million and $144~~ million, respectively. 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 acquisition purchase price reflects 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Corporation acquired 2 businesses for an aggregate purchase price of $90 million, which are described in more detail below. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Corporation acquired 1 business for an aggregate purchase price of $50 million, which is described in more detail below. ~~During~~

The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2018,~~2020 includes $12 million of total net sales and $1 million of net losses from the ~~Corporation acquired 1 business for an aggregate purchase price of $210 million, which is described in more detail below.~~

Corporation's 2020 acquisitions. The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes $8 million of total net sales and immaterial net earnings from the Corporation's 2019 acquisition. The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes $41 million of total net sales and $2 million of net losses from the Corporation's 2018 acquisition.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition for all acquisitions consummated during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018.~~2019.

9.8. 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 and option 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 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 Corporation’s foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps are considered Level 2 instruments which are based on market based inputs or unobservable inputs and corroborated by market data such as quoted prices, interest rates, or yield curves.

Effects on Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets

As of September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the fair values of the asset and liability derivative instruments were immaterial.

Effects on Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings

Undesignated hedges

For the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, the gains or ~~losses~~(losses) recognized in income on forward exchange derivative contracts not designated for hedge accounting were ~~immaterial.~~as follows:

~~14.~~13. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to various pending claims, lawsuits, and contingent liabilities. The Corporation does not believe that the disposition of any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

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 asbestos-related case. The Corporation believes its minimal use of asbestos in its past operations as well as its acquired businesses’ operations and the relatively non-friable condition of asbestos in its historical 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 and indemnification agreements 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. All parties have agreed in principle to participate in a formal mediation in November 2019 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 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 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.

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. As of September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, there were ~~$29.1~~$21.9 million and ~~$21.7~~$32.6 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding, respectively, and ~~$10.2~~$6.6 million and ~~$11.7~~$10.8 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 $45.6 million surety bond.

~~AP1000 Program~~

(UNAUDITED)

AP1000 Program

The Electro-Mechanical Division, which is within the Corporation’s Power segment, is the reactor coolant pump (RCP) supplier for the Westinghouse 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 Westinghouse stating entitlements to the maximum amount of liquidated damages allowable under the AP1000 China contract from Westinghouse 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 September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Corporation has not met certain contractual delivery dates under its ~~AP 1000~~AP1000 China and U.S. 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 September 30, ~~2019.~~2020. As of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the range of possible loss is $0 to $31 million for the AP1000 U.S. contract, for a total range of possible loss of $0 to $55.5 million.

Earlier this year, the Corporation was notified of a RCP fault at the Sanmen 2 AP1000 nuclear reactor in China. The root cause investigation of the fault was concluded during the current period, with the matter limited to a single part on one RCP. Remediation of the fault is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation's financial condition or results of operations.

14. RESTRUCTURING COSTS

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Corporation executed restructuring activities across all of its segments to support its ongoing effort of improving capacity utilization and operating efficiency. These restructuring activities, which include workforce reductions and consolidation of facilities, resulted in $11 million and $29 million of pre-tax charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Pre-tax restructuring charges for the year ending December 31, 2020 are expected to be $35 million. The Company anticipates that these actions, which are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2020, will result in total cost savings of approximately $40 million annually.

The following tables summarize the respective accrual balances related to these restructuring activities:


In thousands	Restructuring Accrual as of December 31, 2019		Provision		Cash Payments		Restructuring Accrual as of September 30, 2020

There were no such comparable charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On September 24, 2020, the Corporation entered into an agreement to acquire the stock of Pacific Star Communications, Inc. (PacStar) for $400 million. PacStar is a provider of tactical communications solutions for battlefield network management. For the year ending December 31, 2020, PacStar is expected to generate sales in excess of $120 million. The transaction is anticipated to close in the fourth quarter, and is subject to customary closing conditions. Upon close, the acquired business will operate within the Defense segment.

In October 2020, the Corporation announced that its Board of Directors has authorized an additional $200 million for future share repurchases, increasing total available authorization to $250 million. The Corporation intends to use $50 million of the available authorization for opportunistic share repurchases through the remainder of the year. The Corporation had previously completed a $100 million opportunistic share repurchase program executed in March 2020 and expects to complete its existing $50 million 10b5-1 share repurchase program authorized for 2020 by the end of the year.

COMPANY ORGANIZATION

Curtiss-Wright Corporation is a diversified, multinational provider of highly engineered, technologically advanced, value-added 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 and have achieved balanced growth through the successful application of our core competencies in engineering and precision manufacturing. 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 ~~43%~~51% of our ~~2019~~2020 revenues are expected to be generated from defense-related markets.

COVID-19

COVID-19, which was characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, has resulted in significant travel restrictions and disruption of the financial markets, as well as negatively impacted our supply chains and production levels. The pandemic has caused demand in the commercial aerospace and general industrial end markets to be negatively impacted for the foreseeable future, the extent of which is contingent upon future developments. These future developments, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, include new information concerning the severity and duration of the outbreak as well as impacts to our supply chain, transportation networks, and customers.

The health and safety of our employees has remained our top priority throughout this crisis. The vast majority of our manufacturing facilities have remained operational throughout the pandemic due to the critical nature of both our operations as well as our customers’ operations, with all manufacturing facilities open and operating as of September 30, 2020. We have continued to execute safety measures at all of our facilities to protect the health and safety of our employees and visitors, including increased frequency in cleaning and disinfecting. Additionally, we have implemented rigorous hygiene and social distancing practices, inclusive of mask requirements and staggered shifts. A significant portion of our non-manufacturing employees are currently working remotely in an effort to minimize any potential spread of COVID-19. These working conditions have been designed to allow for the continuation of key business-critical operations, including financial reporting and internal control.

Given the diversified breadth of our company, we believe that we are well-positioned to mitigate any material risks arising as a result of COVID-19. From an operational perspective, our current cash balance, coupled with expected cash flows from operating activities for the remainder of the year as well as our current borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Agreement, are expected to be more than sufficient to meet operating cash requirements, planned capital expenditures, interest payments on long-term debt obligations, payments on lease obligations, pension and postretirement funding requirements, and dividend payments through at least the remainder of the year. In August 2020, we took additional actions to strengthen our financial flexibility through the successful completion of a $300 million private placement debt offering. We will continue to diligently monitor business conditions and consider additional actions, as necessary. However, given the current level of uncertainty regarding potential COVID-19 economic impacts, we are unable to predict whether we will experience increased borrowing costs or other costs of capital which in turn could potentially result in future liquidity issues. See Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for a detailed description of the risks resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

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 and nine month periods ended September 30, ~~2019.~~2020. The financial information as of September 30, ~~2019~~2020 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, ~~2018~~2019 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 ~~continuing~~ operations followed by a more detailed discussion of those results within each of our reportable segments.

CURTISS-WRIGHT CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

PART I - ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS of

FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued

Our three reportable segments are generally concentrated in a few end markets; however, each may have sales across several end markets. An end market is defined as an area of demand for products and services. The sales 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” and “incremental” results. The definition of “organic” excludes the ~~effect~~effects of total restructuring charges and foreign currency translation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources and Use of Cash

PART I - ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS of

FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued

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. Management continually evaluates cash utilization alternatives, including share repurchases, acquisitions, increased dividends, and paying down debt, 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.

Investing Activities

Acquisitions

The Corporation acquired two businesses during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 for approximately $90 million, inclusive of $82 million cash paid plus an $8 million holdback for potential indemnification claims against the seller. The Corporation acquired one business during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 for approximately $50 million.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 were $36 million and $50 million, respectively. The decrease in capital expenditures was primarily due to additional investment related to the new DRG facility during the prior year period.

Financing Activities

Debt

The Corporation’s debt outstanding had an average interest rate of 3.3% and 3.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The Corporation’s debt outstanding had an average interest rate of 3.6% and 3.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The Corporation’s average debt outstanding was $939 million and $875 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $750 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

In August 2020, we issued $300 million Senior Notes, consisting of $150 million 3.10% Senior Notes that mature on August 13, 2030 and $150 million 3.20% Senior Notes that mature on August 13, 2032. We expect to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include reducing outstanding indebtedness under our revolving credit facility, possible future acquisitions, or funding internal growth initiatives.

~~Net cash used for investing activities~~ ~~decreased~~$147 million from the comparable prior year period primarily due to less cash used for acquisitions in the current period, partially offset by higher capital expenditures. The Corporation acquired one business during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 for approximately $50 million. The Corporation acquired one business during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 for approximately $210 million. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 were $50 million and $30 million, respectively. The increase in capital expenditures was primarily due to additional investment related to the new DRG facility in Charleston, South Carolina.

~~Financing Activities~~

~~Debt~~

The Corporation’s debt outstanding had an average interest rate of 3.6% and 3.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and 3.7% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Corporation’s average debt outstanding was $750 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $800 million and $835 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Revolving Credit Agreement

As of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Corporation had no outstanding borrowings under the ~~2012~~2018 Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement” or “credit facility”) and ~~$29~~$22 million in letters of credit supported by the credit facility. The unused credit available under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, ~~2019~~2020 was ~~$471~~$478 million which could be borrowed without violating any of our debt covenants.

Repurchase of common stock

During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Corporation used ~~$38~~$137 million of cash to repurchase approximately ~~322,000~~1,366,000 outstanding shares under its share repurchase program. During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, the Corporation used ~~$79~~$38 million of cash to repurchase approximately ~~608,000~~322,000 outstanding shares under its share repurchase program.

Dividends

The Corporation made dividend payments of $14 million ~~and $13 million~~ during both the nine months ended September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively.

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.

As of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, we had the ability to borrow additional debt of ~~$1.7~~$1.5 billion without violating our debt to capitalization covenant.

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 ~~2018~~2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, ~~2019,~~2020, 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.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

~~There~~Except for the broad effects of COVID-19 as a result of its negative impact on the financial markets, there have been no material changes in our market risk during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2019.~~2020. 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 ~~2018~~2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, 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 September 30, ~~2019~~2020 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.

During the quarter ended September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, there have been no 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) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to various pending claims, lawsuits, and contingent liabilities. We do not believe that the disposition of any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

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 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. We maintain 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. All parties have agreed in principle to participate in a formal mediation in November 2019 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 result of the fire and explosion. We are currently unable to estimate an amount, or range of potential losses, if any, from this matter. We believe that we have adequate legal defenses and intend to defend this matter vigorously. 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.

We have been named in pending lawsuits that allege injury from exposure to asbestos. To date, we have not been found liable or paid any material sum of money in settlement in any asbestos-related case. We believe that the minimal use of asbestos in our past operations as well as our acquired businesses and the relatively non-friable condition of asbestos in our historical products make it unlikely that we will face material liability in any asbestos litigation, whether individually or in the aggregate. We maintain insurance coverage and indemnification agreements for these potential liabilities and we believe adequate coverage exists to cover any unanticipated asbestos liability.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. There have been no material changes in the Company’s risk factors from the aforementioned 10-K, except as set forth in the below risk factor.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted and poses risks to our ~~Risk Factors during~~business, the ~~nine months ended~~nature and extent of which are highly uncertain and unpredictable.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic. While we continue to actively monitor the pandemic and take steps to mitigate the risks posed by its spread, there is no guarantee that our efforts will mitigate the adverse impacts of COVID-19 or will be effective.

The pandemic has adversely affected, and is expected to continue to adversely affect, certain elements of our business, including our supply chain and production levels. We have experienced operational interruptions as a result of COVID-19, including the temporary suspension of operations due to government imposed restrictions at our facilities in Mexico and India. As of September 30, ~~2019. Information regarding our Risk Factors is more fully described in Item “1A. Risk Factors”~~2020, all of our ~~2018 Annual Report~~manufacturing operations have resumed, but we are unable to predict if there will be additional government imposed restrictions on ~~Form 10-K.~~our ability to operate in future periods. Additionally, certain portions of our workforce might not be able to work effectively due to quarantines, government orders and guidance, travel restrictions, and other precautionary measures and restrictions. This could have an adverse effect on the productivity and profitability of such manufacturing facilities, which could in turn adversely impact our business and operations.

We also have experienced and expect to continue to experience unpredictable volatility in demand in our commercial aerospace and general industrial end markets. Several countries, including the United States, have taken steps to restrict air travel, along with many companies, including us, adopting policies which prohibit non-essential business travel by their employees. Even in the absence of formal restrictions and prohibitions, contagious illness and fear of contagion adversely affects travel behavior. Approximately 17% of our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2019 were derived from sales to commercial aerospace customers. Current travel restrictions, as well as changes in the propensity for the general public to travel by air as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, have caused reductions in demand for commercial aircraft, which will adversely impact our net sales and operating results and may continue to do so for an extended period of time. In addition, an overall reduction in business activity as a result of the disruption caused by COVID-19 has led to a decrease in sales to the general industrial market, which primarily includes industrial vehicle and industrial valve products. Approximately 23% of our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2019 were derived from sales to the general industrial market. While we are unable to predict the magnitude of such impact at this time, the loss of, or significant reduction in, purchases by our large commercial aircraft manufacturers and general industrial customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If the pandemic continues and conditions worsen, we may continue to experience additional adverse impacts on our operational and commercial activities, costs, customer orders, and collections of accounts receivable, which may be material. In addition, we may also incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by business disruptions, performance delays or interruptions, or payment defaults or bankruptcy of our third-party customers and suppliers, any of which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the pandemic has impacted and may further impact the broader economies of

Page 35

affected countries, including negatively impacting economic growth. Due to the speed with which the situation is developing, the global breadth of its spread and the range of governmental and community reactions thereto, there is uncertainty around its duration, ultimate impact, and the timing of recovery. Therefore, the pandemic could lead to an extended disruption of economic activity whereby the impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows could be material.
