The finalization of the gain onFollowing the sale of the Company's Distribution business was recordedin 2019, the Company operated as one segment. In the fourth quarter of 2021, our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") established a new structure for the Company to gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax onbetter align the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statementsbusinesses to support capital allocation plans, portfolio management and growth. This new structure resulted in the introduction of Operations inthree reportable segments: Engineered Products, Precision Products and Structures. See Note 5, Revenue and Segment Information, for 2022 financial results by segment and a recast of financial results by segment for the three-month fiscal period ended April 3, 2020. See Note 3, Disposals, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company committed to a plan and received approval from its Board of Directors to sell
its United Kingdom ("UK") Composites division. As a result of the approved plan, the UK Composites division met the criteria set forth in ASC 205-20 for held for sale. At December 31, 2020, the assets of the UK Composites business were considered impaired as the estimated fair value of the disposal group was lower than the estimated carrying value of the UK Composites business. As a result, the assets of the UK Composites business were written off and the remaining loss related to the anticipated sale of the disposal group was accrued for in liabilities held for sale, current portion on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The related liabilities of the UK division to be sold were reclassified to liabilities held for sale, respectively, as of December 31, 2020 on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. On February 2, 2021, the Company sold its UK Composites business.

The statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s 2020Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted

In December 2019,May 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting StandardsStandard Update ("ASU") 2019-12, "Income Taxes2021-04, "Earnings Per Share (Topic 740)260), Debt - Simplifying theModifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer's Accounting for Income Taxes"Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)". The objective of thethis standard update is to simplify theclarify and reduce diversity in an issuer's accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptionsmodifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The guidance clarifies whether an issuer should account for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as either an adjustment to equity and, to improve consistent applicationif so, the related earnings per share ("EPS") effects, if any, or as an expense and, if so, the manner and pattern of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance.recognition. The standard update is effective for fiscal years andbeginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020.years. Early adoption of the standard iswas permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. If early adopted in an interim period, the adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. All amendments under the standard must be adopted in the same period. In 2021, theThe Company adopted ASU 2019-12 usingthis standard on January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard update did not have a material impact on the modified retrospective basis which resulted in a cumulative effect reduction to retained earnings of $0.3 million.Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity". The objective of this standard update is to simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The update removes certain separation models between a debt component and equity or derivative component for certain convertible instruments,instruments. Entities that previously required separate accounting for conversion features will report less interest expense as those conversion features were recorded as debt discounts which were amortized over the term of the debt. In addition, this ASU adds new disclosure requirements for convertible instruments to improve the decision usefulness and relevance of the information being provided to users of financial statements, clarifies the guidance for determining whether a contract qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting, and amendsrequires the application of the if-converted method when calculating diluted EPS guidance to improve consistency. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021.

Beginning in 2022, the Company will calculate diluted EPS using the if-converted method for its convertible debt instruments, which is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated results. Historically, the Company used the treasury stock method to calculate diluted EPS for its convertible debt instruments. In the first quarter of 2022, there was no impact as diluted EPS calculated to $0.14 using both the if-converted method and treasury stock method.

Refer to Note 13, Debt, for further information on the Company's convertible notes.

Recent Accounting Standards Yet to be Adopted

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging-Portfolio Layer Method". The amendments in this standard update expand the current last-of-layer method of hedge accounting that permits only one hedged layer to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio. This standard update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted on any date on or after the issuance of this update for any entity that has adopted the amendments in ASU 2017-12 for the corresponding period. If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, the effect of adopting the amendments related to basis adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements; however, the impact will be dependent on future hedging activity.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers". The amendments in this standard update address diversity and inconsistency related to the recognition and measurement of contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination and require that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This standard update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of this standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements; however, the impact will be dependent on future business combinations.

Recent Accounting Standards Yet to be Adopted - continued

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting". The objective of the standard is to address operational challenges likely to arise in accounting for contract modifications and hedge accounting due to reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The standard update is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications by topic or industry subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. Once elected for a topic or industry subtopic, the amendments in this standard update must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that topic or industry subtopic. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. If an entity elects to apply any of the amendments for an eligible hedging relationship existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, any adjustments as a result of those elections must be reflected as of the beginning of that interim period. If an entity elects to apply any of the amendments for a new hedging relationship entered into between the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 and March 12, 2020, any adjustments as a result of those elections must be reflected as of the beginning of the hedging relationship. In December 2021, the Company amended its credit agreement to move its LIBOR benchmark for non-USD borrowings to other non-USD benchmark rates. Future USD borrowings under this current Credit Agreement will continue be based on LIBOR. The impact of the adoption of this standard update is dependent on the Company's contracts modifications as a result of reference rate reform; however, the Company does not expect the adoption of the amendments associated with hedging relationships to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2020-04, the FASB issued the following update: ASU 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Scope". The amendments in this update affect the guidance within ASU 2020-04 and are being assessed with ASU 2020-04.

For contracts in which revenue is recognized over time, the Company performs detailed quarterly reviews of the progress and execution of its performance obligations under these contracts. As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. The risks and opportunities include management's judgment about the ability and cost to achieve the schedule (e.g., the number and type of milestone events), technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product) and other contract requirements. Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the performance obligation (e.g., to estimate increases in wages and prices for materials and related support cost allocations), execution by subcontractors, the availability and timing of funding from customers and overhead cost rates, among other variables. Based upon these reviews, the Company will record the effects of adjustments in profit estimates each period. If at any time management determines that in the case of a particular contract total costs will exceed total contract revenue, a provision for the entire anticipated contract loss is recorded at that time.

Net changes in revenue associated with cost growth on the Company's over time contracts were as follows:

The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its customers’ current creditworthiness, as determined by the review of their credit information, to determine if events have occurred subsequent to the recognition of revenue and the related receivable that provide evidence that such receivable will be realized in an amount less than that recognized at the time of sale. Estimates of credit losses are based on historical losses, current economic conditions, geographic considerations, and in some cases, evaluating specific customer accounts for risk of loss.

COVID-19

The Company anticipates that the disruptions and delays resulting from the spread of COVID-19 and the measures instituted by the governments and businesses to mitigate its spread could impact the Company's liquidity in the next twelve months. The Company continues to closely monitor the collectability of its receivables from commercial aerospace customers as it recognizes there may be delays in payments due to the impacts of COVID-19 on its customers. As of the date of this filing, the Company does not believe there has been any material impact on the collectability of these receivables.

Contract Assets

The increasedecrease in contract assets was primarily due to higher amounts billed in the current period compared to the recognition of revenue related to the satisfaction or partial satisfaction of performance obligations during the three-month fiscal period ended April 2, 2021. This increase was primarily related tofor work performed and not yet billed on the A-10JPF program, the KAflex® program and certain fuzing programs, partially offset by amounts billed on the JPF program with the USG.structures programs.

Contract Costs - continued

The increase in contract costs, current portion at April 1, 2022 remained relatively flat compared to the balance at December 31, 2021. This was primarily attributable to the additionamortization of contract costs, to fulfill the K-MAX® program andmostly offset by the reclassification of a portion of costs to fulfill the K-MAX® program and certain structures programs from contract costs, noncurrent portion, partially offset by the amortization of contract costs.portion. For the three-month fiscal periods ended April 2, 20211, 2022 and April 3, 2020,2, 2021, amortization of contract costs was $1.9$0.1 million and $2.5$1.9 million, respectively.

The decrease in contract costs, noncurrent portion was primarily attributable to the the reclassification of a portion of costs to fulfill the K-MAX® program andon certain structures programs to contract costs, current portion.

Contract Liabilities

The decrease in contract liabilities, current portion was primarily due to revenue recognized on a JPF direct commercial sales ("DCS") contract, K-MAX® sparesour seals, springs and support and the SH-2G program for New Zealand,contacts, partially offset by advances received for K-MAX® spares and support and the SH-2G program for New Zealand. Revenue recognized related to contract liabilities, current portion was $9.4$0.5 million and $14.7$9.4 million in the three-month fiscal periods ended April 2, 20211, 2022 and April 3, 2020,2, 2021, respectively.

The increase in contract liabilities, noncurrent portion was due to advances received for a JPF DCS contract.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: 
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The following table presents the carrying value and fair value of financial instruments that are not carried at fair value:
April 2, 2021December 31, 2020April 1, 2022December 31, 2021

$199,500 $203,470 $191,876 $213,222 
(1) These amounts are classified within Level 2.

The above fair values were computed based on quoted market prices and discounted future cash flows (observable inputs), as applicable. Differences from carrying values are attributable to interest rate changes subsequent to when the transactions occurred.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net and accounts payable - trade approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The Company's cash and cash equivalents at April 2, 20211, 2022 and December 31, 20202021 included $93.5 million and $51.5$65.5 million of Level 1 money market funds respectively.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)in both periods.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company holds derivative instruments for foreign exchange contracts that are measured at fair value using observable market inputs such as forward rates and its counterparties’ credit risks. Based on these inputs, the derivative instruments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. At April 2, 20211, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the derivative instruments were included in other current assets and other current liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Based on the Company's continued ability to trade and enter into forward contracts and interest rate swaps, the Company considers the markets for its fair value instruments to be active.

The Company evaluated the credit risk associated with the counterparties to these derivative instruments and determined that as of April 2, 2021,1, 2022, such credit risks had not had an adverse impact on the fair value of these instruments.

10. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including market risks relating to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair values of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is effective as part of a hedged transaction. Gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are subsequently included in earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Forward Exchange Contracts

The Company holds forward exchange contracts designed to hedge forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies and to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the Company’s earnings and cash flows. Some of these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company will include in earnings amounts currently included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) upon recognition of cost of sales related to the underlying transaction. These contracts were not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of April 2, 20211, 2022 and December 31, 2020.2021. The activity related to these contracts was not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-month fiscal periods ended April 2, 20211, 2022 and April 3, 2020.2, 2021.

13. DEBT

Convertible Notes

During May 2017, the Company issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior unsecured notes due May 2024 (the "2024 Notes") pursuant to an indenture (the "Indenture"), dated May 12, 2017, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. In connection therewith, the Company entered into certain capped call transactions that cover, collectively, the number of shares of the Company's common stock underlying the 2024 Notes.

On May 12, 2017, the Company issued $175.0 million in principal amount of 2024 Notes, in a private placement offering. On May 24, 2017, the Company issued an additional $25.0 million in principal amount of 2024 Notes pursuant to the initial purchasers' exercise of their overallotment option, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate $200.0 million principal amount of 2024 Notes. The 2024 Notes bear 3.25% interest per annum on the principal amount, payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2017. The 2024 Notes will mature on May 1, 2024, unless earlier repurchased by the Company or converted. The Company will settle any conversions of the 2024 Notes in cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company's election.

The sale of the Distribution business in the third quarter of 2019 was deemed to be a "Fundamental Change" and a "Make-Whole Fundamental Change" pursuant to the terms and conditions of the indenture governing the 2024 Notes. As a result, the sale triggered the right of the holders of our 2024 Notes to require us to repurchase all of the 2024 Notes, or any portion thereof that is a multiple of $1,000 principal amount on September 27, 2019. The aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn was $0.5 million, representing 0.25% of all outstanding notes. Holders of such notes receive the purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes being purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The following table illustrates the conversion rate at the date of issuance of the 2024 Notes:

(1)Represents the number of shares of Common Stock hypothetically issuable per each $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes, subject to adjustments upon the occurrence of certain specified events in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
(2)Represents $1,000 divided by the conversion rate as of such date. The conversion price reflects the strike price of the embedded option within the 2024 Notes. If the Company's share price exceeds the conversion price at conversion, the noteholders would be entitled to receive additional consideration either in cash, shares or a combination thereof, the form of which is at the sole discretion of the Company.
(3)Prior to November 1, 2023, the notes are convertible only in the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after July 1, 2017, and only during any such fiscal quarter, if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock was greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, (2) during the five consecutive business day period following any ten consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period") in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after November 1, 2023, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. As of April 1, 2022, none of the conditions permitting the holders of the 2024 Notes to convert had been met. Therefore, the 2024 Notes are classified as long-term debt.
(4)This represents the number of shares hypothetically issuable upon conversion of 100% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes at each date; however, the terms of the 2024 Notes state that the Company may pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company's election. The Company currently intends to settle the aggregate principal amount in cash. Amounts due in excess of the principal, if any, also may be settled in cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company's election.

In connection with the 2024 Notes offering, the Company entered into capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates. These transactions are intended to reduce the potential dilution to the Company's shareholders and/or offset the cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount upon any future conversion of the notes in the event that the market price per share of the Company's common stock is greater than the strike price of the capped call transactions, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price of the capped call transactions. Under the terms of the capped call transactions, the strike price ($65.2626) and the cap price ($88.7570) are each subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates entered into various derivative transactions with respect to the Company’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. The capped call transactions, which cost an aggregate $20.5 million, were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

ASC Topic 815 - Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815") provides that contracts are initially classified as equity if (1) the contract requires physical settlement or net-share settlement, or (2) the contract gives the company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The settlement terms of our capped call transactions require net-share settlement. Based on the guidance in ASC 815, the capped call transactions were recorded as a reduction of equity as of the trade date. ASC 815 states that a reporting entity shall not consider contracts to be derivative instruments if the contract issued or held by the reporting entity is both indexed to its own stock and classified in shareholders' equity in its balance sheet. The Company concluded the capped call transactions should be accounted for in shareholders' equity and are, therefore, not to be considered a derivative instrument.

At issuance, ASC 470-20 "Debt with Conversion and Other Options" (“ASC 470-20”) clarified the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion, including partial cash settlement. ASC 470-20 specified that an issuer of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components of the instruments in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate which interest costs are to be recognized in subsequent periods. The note payable principal balance for the 2024 Notes at the date of issuance of $200.0 million was bifurcated into the debt component of $179.5 million and the equity component of $20.5 million. The difference between the note payable principal balance and the fair value of the debt component representing the debt discount was being accreted to interest expense over the term of the 2024 Notes. The fair value of the debt component was recognized using a 5.0% discount rate, representing the Company's borrowing rate at the date of issuance for a similar debt instrument without a conversion feature with an expected life of seven years. At January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06, which removed certain separation models between a debt component and equity component for certain convertible instruments. As a result, the convertible notes balance consists solely of a debt component as of the adoption. Refer to Note 2, Recent Accounting Standards, for further information on the cumulative effect adjustment recorded at adoption.

The Company incurred $7.4 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the sale of the 2024 Notes, which was allocated between the debt and equity components of the instrument at issuance. Of the total amount, $0.7 million was recorded as an offset to additional paid-in capital. The balance, $6.7 million, was recorded as a contra-debt balance and was being amortized over the term of the 2024 Notes. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the amount recorded to additional paid-in capital was reclassified to retained earnings in the cumulative effect adjustment. The remaining balance of debt issuance costs is being amortized over the term of the convertible notes. Total amortization expense for the three-month fiscal periods ended April 1, 2022 and April 2, 2021 was $0.2 million in both periods.

The carrying amount of the equity component and the principal amount of the liability component, the unamortized discount and the net carrying value of the liability are as follows:

Because the embedded conversion option is indexed to the Company’s own stock and would be classified in shareholders’ equity, it does not meet the criterion under ASC 815 that would require separate accounting as a derivative instrument.

14.15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Pension Freeze

Effective December 31, 2015, the Company's qualified pension plan was frozen with respect to future benefit accruals. Under USG Cost Accounting Standard (“CAS”) 413, the Company must determine the USG’s share of any pension curtailment adjustment calculated in accordance with CAS. Such adjustments can result in an amount due to the USG for pension plans that are in a surplus position or an amount due to the contractor for plans that are in a deficit position. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company accrued a $0.3 million liability representing its estimate of the amount due to the USG based on the Company's pension curtailment adjustment calculation, which was submitted to the USG for review in December 2016. The Company maintained its accrual at $0.3 million as of April 2, 2021.1, 2022. There can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

New Hartford Property

In connection with the sale of the Company’s Music segment in 2007, the Company assumed responsibility for meeting certain requirements of the Connecticut Transfer Act (the “Transfer Act”) that applied to the transfer of the New Hartford, Connecticut, facility leased by that segment for guitar manufacturing purposes (“Ovation”). Under the Transfer Act, those responsibilities essentially consist of assessing the site's environmental conditions and remediating environmental impairments, if any, caused by Ovation's operations prior to the sale. The site is a multi-tenant industrial park, in which Ovation and other unrelated entities lease space. The environmental assessment process, which began in 2008, has been completed and site remediation is in process.

The Company's estimate of its portion of the cost to assess the environmental conditions and remediate this site is $2.3 million, all of which has been accrued. The remediation has been nearly completed and the Company continues to monitor the results of the remediation. The total amount paid to date in connection with these environmental remediation activities is $1.7 million. At April 2, 2021,1, 2022, the Company had $0.6 million accrued for these environmental remediation activities. A portion ($0.1 million) of the accrual related to this property is included in other current liabilities and the balance is included in other long-term liabilities. The remaining balance of the accrual reflects the total anticipated cost of completing these environmental remediation activities. Although it is reasonably possible that additional costs will be paid in connection with the resolution of this matter, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of such additional costs, if any, at this time.

Bloomfield Property

In connection with the Company’s 2008 purchase of the portion of the Bloomfield campus that Kaman Aerospace Corporation had leased from NAVAIR, the Company assumed responsibility for environmental remediation at the facility as may be required under the Transfer Act and is currently remediating the property under the guidance of the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. The assumed environmental liability of $10.3 million was determined by taking the undiscounted estimated remediation liability of $20.8 million and discounting it at a rate of 8%. This remediation process will take many years to complete. The total amount paid to date in connection with these environmental remediation activities is $14.5$14.9 million. At April 2, 2021,1, 2022, the Company had $2.4$2.3 million accrued for these environmental remediation activities. A portion ($0.60.2 million) of the accrual related to this property is included in other current liabilities, and the balance is included in other long-term liabilities. Although it is reasonably possible that additional costs will be paid in connection with the resolution of this matter, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of such additional costs, if any, at this time.

Offset Agreement

During January 2018, the Company entered into an offset agreement as a condition to obtaining orders from a foreign customer for the Company's JPF product. This agreement is designed to return economic value to the foreign country by requiring the Company to engage in activities supporting local defense or commercial industries, promoting a balance of trade, developing in-country technology capabilities or addressing other local development priorities. The offset agreement may be satisfied through activities that do not require a direct cash payment, including transferring technology, providing manufacturing, training and other consulting support to in-country projects and the purchase by third parties of supplies from in-country vendors. This agreement may also be satisfied through the Company's use of cash for activities, such as subcontracting with local partners, purchasing supplies from in-country vendors, providing financial support for in-country projects and making investments in local ventures. At April 2, 2021,1, 2022, the offset agreement had an outstanding notional value of approximately $194.0 million, which is equal to 60 percent of the contract value of $324.0 million as defined by the agreement between the customer and the Company. The amount ultimately applied against the offset agreement is based on negotiations with the customer and may require cash outlays that represent only a fraction of the notional value in the offset agreement.

Offset Agreement - continued

The Company continues to work with the customer to further define the requirements to satisfy the offset agreement. The satisfaction of the offset requirements will be determined by the customer and is expected to occur over a seven-year period. Deliveries under the contract are expected to bewere completed prior to satisfaction of the offset requirements. In the event the offset requirements of the contract are not met, the Company could be liable for potential penalties up to $16.5 million payable to the customer. Failure to satisfy the offset requirement could also negatively impact the Company's ability to attract future orders from this customer. The Company began recognizing revenue associated with this contract in the third quarter of 2019 and has considered the potential penalties of $16.5 million as a reduction to the transaction price in its determination of the value of the performance obligations within this contract. At April 2, 2021, $12.11, 2022, $16.5 million in contract liabilities associated with the potential penalties of the offset requirements were included on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At the point the Company has an approved plan to satisfy the offset requirements, the Company will update the estimate of the contract transition price, including any potential penalties or contract costs associated with the plan to fulfill the offset requirements.

Guarantee

During 2020, the Company and the USG entered into a Guaranty Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to guarantee the full, complete and satisfactory performance of its subsidiary, Kaman Precision Products, Inc. ("KPPI") under all current and future contracts with the USG. As of the date of this filing, the only contract in place between KPPI and the USG relates to the production and sale of the JPF. KPPI is currently fulfilling the requirements of Option 15 and has completed pricing negotiations on Option 16. The guarantee was provided in lieu of a periodic financial capability review by the Financial Capacity Team ("FCT") of the Defense Contract Management Agency ("DCMA"). The Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantee as it is dependent on costs incurred by the USG in the event of default. Although the Company believes the risk of default is low given the maturity and operational performance of the JPF program, there can be no assurance that the guarantee will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

15.16. COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on net earnings divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. The computation of diluted earnings per share reflects the common stock equivalency of dilutive options granted to employees under the Company's stock incentive plan, shares issuable on redemption of its convertible notes and shares issuable upon redemption of outstanding warrants.

Prior to the adoption, the Company calculated diluted earnings per share for its convertible debt instruments using the treasury stock method. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective approach; therefore, prior period results have not been retroactively adjusted. Refer to Note 2, Recent Accounting Standards, for further information on the adoption of ASU 2020-06.

Equity awards

For the three-month fiscal periods ended April 1, 2022 and April 2, 2021, respectively, 645,403 and April 3, 2020, respectively, 440,959 and 443,379 shares issuable under equity awards granted to employees were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive based on the average stock price during the periods.

2024 Convertible Notes

For the three-month fiscal periodsperiod ended April 1, 2022, 3,056,879 shares issuable under Convertible Notes due 2024 were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect was antidilutive. For the three-month fiscal period ended April 2, 2021, and April 3, 2020, shares issuable under the Convertible Notes due 2024 were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because the conversion price was more than the average market price of the Company's stock during the periods.

16.17. SHARE-BASED ARRANGEMENTS

The Company accounts for stock options, restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), restricted stock units and performance stock units ("PSUs") as equity awards and measures the cost of all share-based payments, including stock options, at fair value on the grant date and recognizes this cost in the statement of operations. The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan, which is accounted for as a liability award.

In 2021, the Company modified its long-term incentive program to increase the emphasis on equity. Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, the long-term incentive awards granted to the Company's Named Executive Officers ("NEOs") will consist of a combination of service-based RSAs and PSUs which are intended to be settled in shares, as opposed to cash-based awards that had been utilized in the past. These awards are expected to increase the alignment of interests between the Company's NEOs and shareholders and help build stock ownership for new executives, supporting both executive retention and the Company's long-term financial performance. RSAs will vest over a three-year period on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. The number of PSUs that will vest will be determined based on total shareholder return ("TSR") and return on total invested capital ("ROIC") over a three-year performance period, each of which will remain equally weighted in determining payouts. The achievement level for both factors may range from 0 to 200%.

Compensation expense for stock options, RSAs, restricted stock units and PSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards. Throughout the course of the vesting period, the Company monitors the achievement level for the ROIC metric of the PSUs compared to the ROIC target and adjusts the number of shares expected to be earned, and the related compensation expense recorded thereafter, to reflect the most probable outcome. Share-based compensation expense recorded for the three-month fiscal periods ended April 1, 2022 and April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020 was $1.7$2.1 million and $1.6$1.7 million, respectively. These amounts were included inrecorded to selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Effective Income Tax Rate24.5 %2.5 %

The effective income tax rate represents the combined federal, state and foreign tax effects attributable to pretax earnings from continuing operations for the period. The decreaseincrease in the effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three-month fiscal period ended April 2, 2021, compared1, 2022 to the corresponding rate in the prior year was primarily caused by a discrete benefit receivedrecorded in the currentprior period related to the sale of the Company'sCompany’s former UK Composites business and the positive earnings in the current period versus a loss in the prior period.

A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, including those associated with net operating loss carryforwards, is recognized when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. To assess that likelihood, the Company uses estimates and judgment regarding future taxable income, and considers the tax consequences in the jurisdiction where such taxable income is generated, to determine whether a valuation allowance is required. Such evidence can include current financial position, results of operations, both actual and forecasted, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning strategies, as well as the current and forecasted business economics.

The Company has assessed both positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the $35.1 million of deferred tax assets recorded as of April 2, 2021. Through the end of the first quarter of 2021, the Company believes it is more likely than not that only $30.3 million of these deferred tax assets will be realized and, as such, has recorded a valuation allowance of $4.8 million. Going forward, management will continue to assess the available positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is likely sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit the use of these deferred tax assets. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income are reduced or increased, or if additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as future expected growth because objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present.business.

Executive Summary

In the first quarter, consolidated net sales from continuing operations decreased by 17.2%7.9% to $171.6$158.0 million compared to the prior year, primarily due to a reduction inlower sales on our safe and arms devicearm devices and commercial business and general aviationdefense programs. Gross margin decreasedas a percentage of sales increased in the quarter to 30.8%32.0% compared to 32.7%30.8% in the prior year period. Thisperiod, due to improved performance was driven in part by the mix of joint programmable fuze ("JPF") sales in the quarter and lower sales and associated gross profit on our commercialseals, springs and contacts and bearings products due to the impacts of COVID-19.products. Selling, general and administrative expenses ("S,G&A") decreasedincreased by 26.2%, driven by the absence of Bal Seal acquisition costs4.2% primarily due to higher travel expenses and lower employee-related costs as we realize the benefits of the workforce reductions implemented in the prior year.trade show costs. Operating income in the period benefited fromdecreased as a result of lower sales and gross profit and higher SG&A and research and development costs, partially offset by the absence of costs associated with the acquired retention plans incurred in the prior year and lower costs related to the transition services agreement ("TSA"). Bal Seal was able to recover quickly from the interruption to its information technology systems, and as such, there was no material impact to our first quarter results. GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.29 in the first quarter was the result of the activity discussed above and higher pension-related income, partially offset by lower income from the TSA.severance costs.

COVID-19 DiscussionImpacts from Current Economy

TheWe are currently operating in a period of global economic uncertainty, which has been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability due to the ongoing military conflict between Ukraine and Russia. U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions, including the start of the military conflict in Ukraine and the resulting sanctions imposed on Russia. Although the length and impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) andongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, the precautionary measures instituted by governments and businessesconflict in Ukraine could lead to mitigate the spread,market disruptions, including limiting non-essential gatherings of people, ceasing all non-essential travel, ordering certain businesses and government agencies to cease non-essential operations at physical locations and issuing “shelter-in-place” orders, have contributed to a general slowdown in the global economy and significant volatility in financialcredit and capital markets, including a decrease in our stock price.commodity prices and supply chain interruptions, as well as the potential for increased cyber disruptions. We are closely monitoringcontinuing to monitor the situation in Ukraine, including its global effects, and assessing its potential impact on our business, including the timing of our sales as certain customers purchase safety stock for their own supply chains. Although our business has not been materially impacted by the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine as of the date of this filing, it is impossible to predict the extent to which our operations, or those of our customers or suppliers, will be impacted, or the ways in which the conflict may impact our business, cash flows or results of operations.

We also continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic on all aspects of our business and across the geographies in which we operate and serve customers, and we are working to assessas well as the extent to which it has impacted and will continue to impact our customers, suppliers and other business partners.
Impact on We are operating below pre-pandemic levels for our Business

Kaman is operating as an essential business in the United Statescommercial aerospace products and in most of the markets in which it operates around the world. Despite efforts to mitigate the risks associated with COVID-19, we expect our operations to continue to be adversely impacted through at least the first half of 2021. Additionally, certain of our customers and suppliers have temporarily shut down operations; however,seen some disruptions to our supply chain, have been limited to datesuch as delays in materials and components used in our manufacturing process; however, we continue to meet the demands of our customers. WhileWe are encouraged by the recoveries for these products and the strong order intake we did not incur significant disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic during the first quarter of 2021, we continued to see declines in our commercial aerospace productssaw in the first quarterthree months of 20212022; however, the developments related to COVID-19 variants make it difficult to predict the timing and magnitude of the recovery.

The U.S. economy is experiencing broad and rapid inflation as comparedwell as supply issues in material, service and labor due to the corresponding period in 2020 which was minimally impacted by COVID-19. Aseconomic policy, the pandemic continues, we anticipate further challengesand, more recently, the war in our commercial aerospace programsUkraine. These impacts are likely to persist through 2022 and beyond. We cannot predict the first half of 2021; however, we expect a meaningful ramp in sales for these products inimpact on the second halfCompany’s end markets or input costs nor the ability of the year dueCompany to the increase in air traffic and vaccination rates in the United States. We saw recoveries in our medical and industrial end markets during the first quarter and expect improved performancerecover cost increases through the remainder of 2021. Our defense and safe and arm device end markets have not been impacted by COVID-19 and we do not expect future declines due to COVID-19 on the results of these end markets. The extent to which COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable at this time.
Steps to Protect our Workforce
The health and safety of our employees, their families and communities, and our customers are our highest priorities. To maintain employee productivity and minimize the risk of exposure while working, we continue to adhere to the policies and procedures implemented in the prior year to allow our employees to work with confidence knowing that their health and safety is a key priority. All employees who are able to work from home have been encouraged to do so for the foreseeable future to limit contact points and reduce the risk of exposure. For those on-site, we continue to operate in segregated workspaces to maintain physical distancing within our facilities, better trace employee contacts, and limit risk of exposure while in the facility. We have also restricted free flow of employees throughout the factories and prevented non-essential employees and business associates from entering these facilities. In addition, we continue to require daily temperature checks and face masks for all persons entering our facilities. Resources are available to our employees via the Company's benefits website, which include the latest news on COVID-19, steps to prevent illness and resources for mental health.
Our senior management team meets regularly to review the status of our operations, including the health and safety of our employees, and the impact of COVID-19 on our customers, suppliers and communities. Our Board of Directors are updated regularly on the realized and expected impacts of COVID-19 and the Company's response to COVID-19, including steps to protect the workforce and cost-savings initiatives. Additionally, the management team has benchmarked our efforts with peer companies to adopt best practices, improve our processes and share challenges that we are facing as we manage through the crisis.

The decrease in sales under our commercial business and general aviation programs was primarily attributable to lower sales volume of our commercial bearings products, driven by lower sales to Boeing and Airbus due to the impacts of COVID-19, and a decrease in sales under certain structures programs. These decreases, totaling $19.1 million, were partially offset by a K-MAX® aircraft delivery in the current period.

The decrease in sales under our defense programs, excluding safe and arm devices was primarily due to lower sales under the AH-1Z program, the Sikorsky BLACK HAWK helicopter program and a certain structures program. These decreases, totaling $4.8 million, were partially offset by higher sales on the A-10 program.

The increase in sales under our industrial and other commercial programs was primarily attributable to $1.3 million in higher sales volume of our bearings products.

Net Sales

Net sales for 2022 increased compared to the corresponding period in 2021, driven by higher sales volume of our commercial and medical bearings products and springs, seals and contacts, including products used in medical implantables and defense and industrial applications. These improvements, totaling $13.1 million, were partially offset by lower sales volume of our defense bearings products.

Operating Income

Operating income for 2022 increased when compared to 2021, primarily due to higher sales and associated gross profit on our seals, springs and contacts and commercial bearings products. These increases in gross profit of $8.4 million were partially offset by lower sales volume and associated gross profit of our defense bearings products.

Net Sales

Net sales for 2022 decreased when compared to 2021, primarily due to the absence of a K-MAX® aircraft sale in the current period, the mix of JPF sales in the quarter and a decrease in sales on the Harpoon fuzing program.

Operating Income

Operating income for 2022 decreased when compared to 2021, primarily attributable to $8.0 million in lower gross profit, driven by the mix of JPF sales in the quarter and lower gross profit on our K-MAX® program, and higher research and development costs for the KARGO UAV unmanned aerial system.

Major Programs/Product Lines

Below is a discussion of significant changes in our major programs with the Precision Products segment during the first three months of 2021.2022. See our 20202021 Form 10-K, including Item 1A, "Risk Factors", for a complete discussion of our major programs.

FMU-152 A/B – JPF

We manufacture the JPF, an electro-mechanical bomb safe and arming device, which allows the settings of a weapon to be programmed in flight. Sales of these fuzes can be direct to the USAF,USG, Foreign Military Sales ("FMS") through the USG and DCSDirect Commercial Sales (“DCS”) to foreign militaries that, although not funded by or sold through the USG, require regulatory approvals from the USG.

A total of 8,0906,020 fuzes were delivered to our customers during the first quarter of 2021.2022. We expect to deliver 30,00025,000 to 35,00030,000 fuzes in 2021.

2022. Total JPF backlog at April 2, 20211, 2022 was $184.5$76.1 million, alldown from $103.4 million at December 31, 2021. Of the $76.1 million in backlog at April 1, 2022, $3.3 million requires the receipt of which has received required export approvals, licenses or authorizations from the USG allowing forbefore we are permitted to ship the sale of these productsfuzes outside of the United States.

Given the change in Administration,control. Therefore, there can be no assurance that this portion of our backlog with appropriate approvals will be recognized dueconverted to potential future policies to cease shipments to certain countries. As the Administration has indicated its desire to review thea firm sale of defense products to two Middle Eastern countries, this has led to uncertainty onand, even if it is, the timing of delivery of fuzes for one of our key customers. The outcome of the review remains uncertain; therefore, we elected to exclude the previously anticipated order from our outlook for 2021. Total JPF backlog at December 31, 2020 was $214.7 million.conversion is unknown.

Our JPF - USG

Revenue for JPF USG programs is recognized over time when costs are incurred as work progresses onprogram continues to move through its product lifecycle, reflecting the program. The Company currently provides the FMU-152 A/B to the USAF, but the U.S. Navy currently utilizes a different fuze - the FMU-139. In 2015, NAVAIR solicited proposals for a firm fixed price production contract to implement improvements to the performance characteristicspreviously announced decision of the FMU-139 (such improved fuze having been designated the FMU-139 D/B), and, the USAF had stated that, if and when a contract is awarded and production begins, the funds associated with the FMU-152 A/B will be redirectedUnited States Air Force ("USAF") to the FMU-139 D/B. During the third quarter of 2015, the U.S. Navy announced that a competitor was awarded the contract for the FMU-139 D/B. In the event the FMU-139 D/B program proceeds as planned and the USAF redirects the funds associated with the FMU-152 A/Bmove to the FMU-139 D/B our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be materially adversely impacted.(which we do not produce) as its primary fuze system. During the third quarter of 2019, our competitor announced that it received its first production order from the U.S. Navy to manufacture the FMU-139 D/B. Due to the complexity of this program and the pending status of the USAF's final decision to redirect funds to the FMU-139 D/B, the timing and magnitude of the impact on the Company's financial statements are not certain; however, the Company continues to see demand for the FMU-152 A/B. During the third quarter of 2020, we completed our pricing negotiations for Options 15 and 16 with the USG and we received an order under Option 15 with an expected value of approximately $57.3 million for the procurement of fuzes for 25 foreign militaries. In the first quarter of 2021, we began to satisfy the requirements under Option 15. We expect future orders15, which relates solely to the procurement of fuzes by 25 foreign militaries and has an expected value of approximately $57.3 million, and, in 2022, we began to satisfy the requirements under Option 16 which has an expected total value of approximately $43.0 million. Similar to extendOption 15, this order relates solely to the procurement of fuzes by or in support of foreign militaries and does not include any sales to the USAF. Option 16 extends FMU-152 A/B deliveriesproduction into 2023. We have been advised by our customer that Option 16 will be the last order under our JPF contract with the USG. While we do not expect the close-out of our JPF contract with the USG to adversely impact our ability to continue to market the FMU-152 A/B directly to foreign militaries in direct commercial sales transactions, in the event the
33


foreign militaries move to the FMU-139 D/B, our financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely impacted. We are currently in discussions with two Middle Eastern customers for one or more follow-on orders aggregating to a minimum of $45.0 million. The final value of these orders will be dependent on volume and pricing agreed upon in the completed contracts. If received, these orders would continue to extend the life of the program. DCS orders are subject to export approvals, licenses, or authorizations. The timing and receipt of any such export approvals, licenses, or authorizations are subject to political and geopolitical conditions that are beyond our control.

Net Sales

Net sales for 2022 decreased when compared to 2021, primarily due to the wind down of the AH-1Z program, timing of sales on the A-10 program, lower sales on certain composite programs and the absence of sales from our former UK Composites business, which was sold in early 2021. These decreases, totaling $11.5 million, were partially offset by higher sales on our programs with Rolls Royce.

Operating (Loss) Income

The Structures segment incurred an operating loss of $0.6 million for 2022 compared to operating income of $0.3 million in 2021. This change was primarily due to lower sales and associated gross profit on the AH-1Z program and our composite blade programs. These decreases in gross profit of $1.1 million were partially offset by higher gross profit on our Sikorsky Combat Rescue Helicopter program and a certain structures program with Boeing.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Discussion and Analysis of Cash Flows

We assess liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund working capital requirements and investing and financing activities. Significant factors affecting liquidity include: cash flows generated from or used by operating activities, capital expenditures, investments in our business and programs, acquisitions, divestitures, dividends, availability of future credit, share repurchase programs, adequacy of available bank lines of credit, and factors that might otherwise affect the company's business and operations generally, as described under the heading “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” in Item 1A of Part I of our 20202021 Form 10-K.

COVID-19

We anticipate that the disruptions and delays resulting from the spread of COVID-19 and the measures instituted by governments and businesses to mitigate its spread could impact our liquidity in the next twelve months. At April 2, 2021, the Company had $120.7 million of cash on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We are closely managing our daily cash flows to optimize our liquidity position. We also continue to closely monitor the collectability of our receivables from commercial aerospace customers as we recognize there may be delays in payments due to the impacts of COVID-19 on our customers. As of the date of this filing, we do not believe there has been any material impact on the collectability of these receivables. In addition to the daily reviews of collections and payables, management meets with our business units on a regular basis to review liquidity.
As of the date of this filing, we believe the Company has adequate liquidity due to the cash we have on hand, the bank financing we have available to us and the other actions we have taken to enhance financial flexibility and reduce the potential impact of the pandemic on the Company.

Net cash used in operating activities was $2.4$1.0 million for the three-month fiscal period ended April 2, 2021,1, 2022, a $53.0$1.4 million improvement to cash used in the comparable period in 2020.2021. This change was largely driven by the collection of payments on outstanding receivables, more specifically the receipt of approximately $53.0 million in payments on JPF DCS receivables, the absence of a $10.0 million pension contribution and lower material receipts on the K-MAX® program in the current period. These changes were partially offset by approximately $25.1 million in nonrecurring payments to eligible participants of Bal Seal's employee retention plans implementedpaid in the prior to our acquisitionyear and the timing of accounts payable cash disbursements, partially offset by the timing of collection of payments on outstanding receivables, more specifically significant receipts on JPF DCS receivables in 2020.the prior year, higher material receipts on the K-MAX® program and lower net earnings in the current period.

Net cash used in investing activities was $8.1$6.5 million for the three-month fiscal period ended April 2, 2021, $295.71, 2022, $1.6 million less than cash used in the comparable period in 2020.2021. This change was primarily attributable to the cash used to acquire Bal Sealimpact of the sale of our former UK Composites business in the prior year.year, partially offset by higher capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities was $4.7$4.0 million for the three-month fiscal period ended April 2, 2021, compared to net1, 2022, relatively flat with cash provided by financing activities of $182.9 millionused in the comparable period in 2020. This change was primarily due to higher net borrowings under our revolving credit facility in the prior year in preparation for the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by lower purchases of treasury shares in the current period.2021.

We anticipate a variety of items will have an impact on our liquidity during the next twelve months, in addition to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and our working capital requirements. These could include one or more of the following:

the matters described in Note 14,15, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, including the cost of existing environmental remediation matters;
contributions to our qualified pension plan and Supplemental Employees’ Retirement Plan (“SERP”);
deferred compensation payments to officers;
interest payments on outstanding debt;
income tax payments;
costs associated with acquisitions and corporate development activities;
finance and operating lease payments;
capital expenditures;
research and development expenditures;
repurchase of common stock under the 2015 Share Repurchase Program;share repurchase programs;
payment of dividends;
costs associated with the start-up of new programs; and
the timing of payments and the extension of payment terms by our customers.

Financing Arrangements

We continue to rely upon bank financing as an important source of liquidity for our business activities, including acquisitions. We believe this, when combined with cash generated from operating activities, will be sufficient to support our anticipated future cash requirements; however, we may decide to borrow additional funds or raise additional equity capital to support other business activities, including potential future acquisitions. We regularly monitor credit market conditions to identify potential
35


issues that may adversely affect, or provide opportunities for, the securing and/or advantageous pricing of additional financing, if any, that may be necessary to continue with our growth strategy and finance working capital requirements. Refer to Note 14, Debt, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of the 20202021 Form 10-K for further information on our Financing Arrangements.
 
Convertible Notes

During May 2017, we issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior unsecured notes due May 2024 (the "2024 Notes") pursuant to an indenture, dated May 12, 2017, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated July 15, 2019, the "Indenture"). In connection therewith, we entered into certain capped call transactions that cover, collectively, the number of shares of the Company's common stock underlying the 2024 Notes. The 2024 Notes bear 3.25% interest per annum on the principal amount, payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2017. The 2024 Notes will mature on May 1, 2024, unless earlier repurchased by the Company or converted. We will settle any conversions of the 2024 Notes in cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election.

The sale of our former Distribution business in the third quarter of 2019 was deemed to be a "Fundamental Change" and a "Make-Whole Fundamental Change" pursuant to the terms and conditions of the indenture governing the 2024 Notes. As a result, the sale triggered the right of the holders of our 2024 Notes to require us to repurchase all of the 2024 Notes, or any portion thereof that is a multiple of $1,000 principal amount on September 27, 2019. The aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn was $0.5 million, representing approximately 0.25% of all outstanding notes. Holders of such notes received the repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes being purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

We incurred $7.4 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the sale of the 2024 Notes, which waswere allocated between the debt and equity components of the instrument.instrument at issuance. Of the total amount, $0.7 million was recorded as an offset to additional paid-in capital. The balance, $6.7 million, was recorded as a contra-debt balance and iswas being amortized over the term of the 2024 Notes. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the amount recorded to additional paid-in capital was reclassified to retained earnings in the cumulative effect adjustment. The remaining balance of debt issuance costs is being amortized over the term of the convertible notes. Total amortization expense for the three-month fiscal periods ended April 2, 20211, 2022 and April 3, 20202, 2021 was $0.2 million in both periods. Refer to Note 2, Recent Accounting Standards, for further information on the adoption and impacts of ASU 2020-06.

Credit Agreement

On December 13, 2019, the Company closed an amended and restated $800.0 million Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent. The Credit Agreement matures on December 13, 2024 and consists of revolving commitments of $800.0 million. Capitalized terms used but not defined within this discussion of the Credit Agreement have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement, which with amendments is included as Exhibit 10.3910.43 to our 20202021 Form 10-K.

We incurred $3.6 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement. Total amortization expense for three-month fiscal periods ended April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020 was $0.2 million in both periods.

Interest rates on amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement are variable based on LIBOR. The LIBOR benchmark has been the subject of national, international, and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit rates for calculation of LIBOR after 2021. In November 2020, the ICE Benchmark Association announced its intention to delay the timeline for the retirement of LIBOR until mid-2023. These reforms may cause LIBOR to perform differently than in the past, and LIBOR may ultimately cease to exist after 2021.exist. Alternative benchmark rate(s) may replace LIBOR and could affect the Company's debt securities, derivative instruments, receivables, debt payments and receipts. An alternative rate may create additional basis risk for market participants as an alternative index is utilized alongside LIBOR. Key regulatory authorities have requested that banks cease entering into new contracts that use USD LIBOR as a reference rate, and do not permit new or existing non-USD LIBOR borrowings, by no later than December 31, 2021. Additionally, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee has recommended replacing USD LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which is calculated by short-term repurchase agreements. There can be no guarantee that SOFR will become widely used, or that any alternatives may or may not be developed.

In 2021, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to move its LIBOR benchmark for non-USD borrowings to other non-USD benchmark rates. Future USD borrowings under our current Credit Agreement will continue be based on LIBOR. At this time, it is not possible to predict the effect of any changes to LIBOR, anythe phase out of LIBOR or any establishment of alternative benchmark rates. Any new benchmark rate will likely not replicate LIBOR exactly, which could impact our contracts that terminate after 2023. There is uncertainty about how applicable law, the courts or the Company will address the replacement of LIBOR with alternative rates on variable rate retail loan contracts and other contracts that do not include alternative rate fallback provisions. In addition, any changes to
3136


benchmark rates may have an uncertain impact on our cost of funds and our access to the capital markets, which could impact our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

No amounts were outstanding under the revolving credit facility in the first quarter of 2021;2022; therefore, the interest rate for the period was 0%. We are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the unused revolving loan commitment amount at a rate ranging from 0.150% to 0.250% per annum, based on the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio. Fees for outstanding letters of credit range from 1.125% to 1.625%, based on the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio. There were no bank borrowings during the three-month fiscal period ended April 2, 2021, compared to total average bank borrowings of $111.9 million for1, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

In the event that we default on the contract and we are unable to fulfill our contractual obligations, our customer has the ability to draw on the letters of credit.

Pension Plans

Management regularly monitors pension plan asset performance and the assumptions used in the determination of our benefit obligation, comparing them to actual performance. We continue to believe the assumptions selected are valid due to the long-term nature of our benefit obligation.

We contributed $10.0 millionNo contributions are expected to be made to the qualified pension plan subsequent to the end of the first quarter andduring 2022. The Company contributed $0.1 million to the SERP through the end of the first quarter of 2021. No further contributions are expected to be made to the qualified pension plan during 2021. We plan2022 and plans to contribute an additional $2.6$0.4 million to the SERP in 2021.2022. For the 20202021 plan year, wethe Company contributed $10.0 million to the qualified pension plan and $0.5$2.7 million to the SERP.

Effective December 31, 2015, our qualified pension plan was frozen with respect to future benefit accruals. Under USG Cost Accounting Standard (“CAS”) 413, we must calculate the USG’s share of any pension curtailment adjustment calculated resulting from the freeze. Such adjustments can result in an amount due to the USG for pension plans that are in a surplus position or an amount due to the contractor for plans that are in a deficit position. During the fourth quarter of 2016, we accrued a $0.3 million liability representing our estimate of the amount due to the USG based on our pension curtailment calculation, which was submitted to the USG for review in December 2016. We have maintained our accrual at $0.3 million as of April 2, 2021.1, 2022. There can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Share-based Arrangements

In 2021, the Company modified its long-term incentive program to increase the emphasis on equity. Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, the long-term incentive awards granted to the Company's Named Executive Officers ("NEOs") will consist of a combination of service-based RSAs and PSUs which are intended to be settled in shares, as opposed to cash-based awards that had been utilized in the past. These awards are expected to increase the alignment of interests between the Company's NEOs and shareholders and help build stock ownership for new executives, supporting both executive retention and the Company's long-term financial performance. RSAs will vest over a three-year period on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. The number of PSUs that will vest will be determined based on total shareholder return ("TSR") and return on total invested capital ("ROIC") over a three-year performance period, each of which will remain equally weighted in determining payouts. The achievement level for both factors may range from zero to 200%. As of April 2, 2021,1, 2022, future compensation costs related to non-vested stock options, restricted stock grants and performance stock grants is $12.9$15.6 million. The Company anticipates that this cost will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.72.3 years.

Stock Repurchase Plans

On April 20, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program ("2022 Share Repurchase Program") authorizing the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of the common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company. We repurchase shares to offset the annual issuance of shares under our employee stock plans, but the timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including stock price, market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability and other factors, including acquisition opportunities. This plan replaces the authorization approved in April 2015.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Management believes the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures used in this report provide investors with important perspectives into our ongoing business performance. We do not intend for the information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Other companies may define the measures differently. We define the non-GAAP measures used in this report and other disclosures as follows:

Organic Sales

Organic Sales is defined as "Net Sales" less sales derived from acquisitions completed or businesses disposed of that did not qualify for accounting as a discontinued operation during the previous twelve months. We believe that this measure provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of acquisitions, which can obscure underlying trends. We also believe that presenting Organic Sales separately provides management and investors with useful information about the trends impacting our operations and enables a more direct comparison to other businesses and companies in similar industries. Management recognizes that the term "Organic Sales" may be interpreted differently by other companies and under different circumstances.

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow is defined as GAAP “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” in a period less “Expenditures for property, plant & equipment” in the same period. Management believes Free Cash Flow provides an important perspective on our ability to generate cash from our business operations and, as such, that it is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Company's financial performance. Free Cash Flow should not be viewed as representing the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures such as dividends to shareholders or acquisitions, as it may exclude certain mandatory expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt and other contractual obligations. Management uses Free Cash Flow internally to assess overall liquidity.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in our contractual obligations or off-balance sheet arrangements during the first three months of 2021.2022. See our 20202021 Form 10-K for a discussion of our contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 20202021 Form 10-K describe the critical accounting estimates and significant accounting policies used in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Information regarding recent changes in accounting standards is included in Note 2, Recent Accounting Standards, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s exposure to market risk during the first three months of 2021.2022. See the Company’s 20202021 Form 10-K for a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, as of April 2, 2021.1, 2022. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of April 2, 2021,1, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There was no change to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

General

From time to time, as a normal incident of the nature and kinds of businesses in which the Company and its subsidiaries are, and were, engaged, various claims or charges are asserted and legal proceedings are commenced by or against the Company and/or one or more of its subsidiaries. Claimed amounts may be substantial but may not bear any reasonable relationship to the merits of the claim or the extent of any real risk of court or arbitral awards. We record accruals for losses related to those matters that we consider to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies, if any, are recognized when they are realized and legal costs generally are expensed when incurred.

We evaluate, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings that could affect the amount of any accrual and developments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. Our loss contingencies are subject to substantial uncertainties, however, including for each such contingency the following, among other factors: (i) the procedural status of the case; (ii) whether the case has or may be certified as a class action suit; (iii) the outcome of preliminary motions; (iv) the impact of discovery; (v) whether there are significant factual issues to be determined or resolved; (vi) whether the proceedings involve a large number of parties and/or claims in multiple jurisdictions or jurisdictions in which the relevant laws are complex or unclear; (vii) the extent of potential damages, which are often unspecified or indeterminate; and (viii) the status of settlement discussions, if any, and the settlement postures of the parties. Because of these uncertainties, management has determined that, except as otherwise noted below, the amount of loss or range of loss that is reasonably possible in respect of each matter described below (including any reasonably possible losses in excess of amounts already accrued), is not reasonably estimable.

While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, based upon available information, management believes that all settlements, arbitration awards and final judgments, if any, which are considered probable of being rendered against us in legal proceedings and that can be reasonably estimated are accrued for at April 2, 2021.1, 2022. Despite this analysis, there can be no assurance that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

As of April 2, 2021,1, 2022, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries was a party, nor was any of its or their property subject, to any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries. Additional information relating to certain of these matters is set forth in Note 14,15, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Environmental Matters

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to numerous U.S. federal, state and international environmental laws and regulatory requirements and are involved from time to time in investigations or litigation of various potential environmental issues concerning activities at our facilities or former facilities or remediation as a result of past activities (including past activities of companies we have acquired). From time to time, we receive notices from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or equivalent state or international environmental agencies that we are a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (commonly known as the “Superfund Act”) and/or equivalent laws. Such notices assert potential liability for cleanup costs at various sites, which may include sites owned by us, sites we previously owned and treatment or disposal sites not owned by us, allegedly containing hazardous substances attributable to us from past operations. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these proceedings, in the opinion of management, any payments we may be required to make as a result of all such claims in existence at April 2, 2021,1, 2022, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Investors should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors that could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows as set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 20202021 Form 10-K. We do not believe there have been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 20202021 Form 10-K, but we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in future filings with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe not to be material may also adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
