NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three-month and nine-month fiscal periods ended September 29, 2023 and September 30, 2022 ~~and October 1, 2021~~

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Following the sale of the Company's Distribution business in 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 better align the Company's businesses to support capital allocation plans, portfolio management and growth. This new structure resulted in the introduction of three 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 and nine-month fiscal periods ended October 1, 2021.~~

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this report. Certain amounts in prior year financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 29, 2023 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

The Company has a calendar year-end; however, its first three fiscal quarters follow a 13-week convention, with each quarter ending on a Friday. The third quarters for ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022 ended on September 29, 2023, and September 30, 2022, ~~and October 1, 2021,~~ respectively.

2. ~~RECENT~~ ACCOUNTING ~~STANDARDS~~CHANGES

~~Recent Accounting Standards Adopted~~Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements

~~In October~~During the three-month fiscal period ended June 30, 2023, the Company identified errors related to (1) the accounting for certain labor costs at one business in the Precision Products segment and (2) the net realizable value on certain portions of the Company's inventory at another business in the Structures segment, each resulting in an overstatement of inventory and an understatement of cost of sales and related tax impacts. The Company concluded that these errors were not material, either individually or in aggregate, to previously issued consolidated financial statements; however, the Company has determined it was appropriate to revise its previously issued consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022, and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the ~~Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets~~quarters and ~~Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers". The amendments~~year-to-date fiscal periods ended July 1, 2022, September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2023. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements and relevant footnotes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this ~~standard update address diversity and inconsistency related~~Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been revised 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 effectivecorrect 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.these errors. The Company ~~early adopted this standard~~will present the revision of its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 in connection with the ~~third quarter~~future filing of ~~2022, including~~its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the ~~practical expedient that allowed~~year ended December 31, 2023. Additionally, the Company ~~to utilize~~will present the ~~terms that existed as~~revision of ~~the latest contract modification date to determine the transaction price and performance obligations. The adoption of this standard update did not have a material impact on the Company's~~its previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial ~~statements.~~statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 with the future filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 29, 2024.

~~In May 2021,~~The revision to the ~~FASB issued ASU 2021-04, "Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt - Modifications~~accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and ~~Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718),~~condensed consolidated statement of cash flows are as follows. There were no changes to the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity that have not otherwise been reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations, and ~~Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts~~condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income as detailed in ~~Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer's Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of~~ the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)". The objective of this standard update is to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer's accounting for modifications 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, if so, the related earnings per share ("EPS") effects, if any, or as an expense and, if so, the manner and pattern of recognition. The standard update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption was permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.tables below.

2. ~~RECENT~~ ACCOUNTING ~~STANDARDS~~CHANGES (CONTINUED)

~~Recent Accounting Standards Adopted~~Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements - continued

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. 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 requires 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. Early adoption of the standard was permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year and can do so using a modified retrospective method or fully retrospective method of transition. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective basis which resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance sheet. The prior period condensed consolidated financial statements have not been retroactively adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standard in effect for the period.

~~2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)~~

~~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 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 to 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.

3. ~~DISPOSALS~~

~~Mexico Business~~

In the third quarter of 2022, the Company sold certain assets and liabilities of its Mexico operations in the Structures segment. The transaction did not meet the criteria set forth in ASC 205-20 for discontinued operations as it does not reflect a significant strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company's operations or financial results. In the three-month and nine-month fiscal periods ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of $0.5 million, which was included in (gain) loss on sale of business on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

~~UK Composites Business~~

In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company received approval from its Board of Directors to sell its United Kingdom ("UK") Composites division. The sale of the UK Composites business did not meet the criteria set forth in ASC 205-20 for discontinued operations as it did not reflect a significant strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company's operations or financial results. As a result of the approved plan, the UK Composites division met the criteria set forth in ASC 205-20 for held for sale presentation at December 31, 2020. 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 such, the assets of the UK Composites business were written off and the related liabilities of the UK division to be sold were reclassified to liabilities held for sale, as of December 31, 2020 on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $36.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company sold its UK Composites division in a transaction that closed on February 2, 2021. In the first quarter of 2021, when the sale was finalized, the Company recorded an additional loss of $0.2 million, which was included in (gain) loss on sale of business on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine-month fiscal period ended October 1, 2021, resulting in a total loss on the sale of the UK Composites business of $36.5 million.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at the beginning of the period on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine-month fiscal period ended October 1, 2021 included $6.6 million of cash that was included in the UK Composites business disposal group. Given the assets of the disposal group were recognized net of the impairment recorded in the year ended December 31, 2020, such amounts were not reflected on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2020.

~~Distribution Business~~

On August 26, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its Distribution business. Upon closing, the Company entered into a transition services agreement ("TSA") with the buyer, pursuant to which the Company agreed to support the information technology ("IT"), human resources and benefits, tax and treasury functions of the Distribution business for six to twelve months. The buyer exercised an option to extend the support period for up to one additional year for certain services. During the third quarter of 2021, the TSA expired and all services were completed as of the end of the period. As such, there was no activity associated with the TSA in 2022. Through the term of the TSA, the Company incurred $18.9 million in costs and earned $13.0 million in income associated with the TSA. Costs and income earned associated with the TSA in the three-month fiscal period ended October 1, 2021 were not material. The Company incurred $1.7 million in costs and earned $0.9 million in income associated with the TSA in the nine-month fiscal period ended October 1, 2021. These amounts were included in costs from transition services agreement and income from transition services agreement on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively.

Since the sale of the Distribution business, cash outflows from the Company to its former Distribution business totaled $8.7 million through September 30, 2022, which primarily related to Distribution employee and employee-related costs incurred prior to the sale. There were no cash flows from the Company to its former Distribution business in the nine-month fiscal periods ended September 30, 2022 and October 1, 2021. Since the sale of the Distribution business, cash inflows from the Company's former Distribution business to the Company totaled $19.2 million through September 30, 2022, which primarily related to cash received for services performed under the TSA and the $5.2 million working capital adjustment settled in the first quarter of 2020. Cash inflows from the Company's former Distribution business received in the nine-month fiscal period ended October 1, 2021 totaled $1.8 million. Cash inflows from the former Distribution business were not material in 2022.

4. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND INVESTMENTS

Aircraft Wheel & Brake

On September 16, 2022, the Company acquired all of the assets and related liabilities of Parker-Hannifin Corporation's ("Parker") Aircraft Wheel and Brake division, ~~("the Acquisition"),~~ of Avon, Ohio, at a purchase price of ~~$441.3~~$442.8 million. Aircraft Wheel and Brake is a leader in the design, development, qualification, manufacturing and assembly, product support and repair of wheels, brakes and related hydraulic components for fixed-wing aircraft and rotorcraft. With this acquisition, the Company has expanded its portfolio of engineered products, broadening the number of offerings available to serve customers across a range of critical applications and has increased the Company's exposure within the aerospace and defense end markets.

This acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded based on their fair values at the date of acquisition as follows (in thousands):

All purchase price allocations ~~will be~~were finalized within the one-year measurement ~~period.~~period and no further adjustments are expected.

The goodwill associated with this acquisition is tax deductible and is the result of expected synergies from combining the operations of the acquired business with the Company's operations and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as an assembled workforce. The goodwill associated with this acquisition was recognized in the Engineered Products segment. ~~The Company is evaluating the assignment of goodwill to a reporting unit.~~

The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets totaling $257.9 million, consisting of customer relationships and acquired backlog, was determined using the income approach, specifically, a multi-period excess earnings method. The fair values of the customer relationships and backlog of $244.5 million and $13.4 million, respectively, are being amortized based on the economic period of benefit over a period of 24 years and ~~two~~ ~~years, respectively. These amortization periods represent the estimated useful life of the assets.~~Pro Forma Information (Unaudited)

Aircraft Wheel and Brake's results of operations have been included in the Company's financial statements for the period subsequent to the completion of the acquisition on September 16, 2022. In the three-month and nine-month fiscal periods ended September 29, 2023, Aircraft Wheel and Brake contributed $16.9 million and $56.6 million of revenue, respectively, and $1.9 million and $5.8 million of operating income, respectively. Aircraft Wheel and Brake contributed $2.7 million of revenue and $1.1 million of operating loss for both the three-month and nine-month fiscal periods ended September 30, 2022.

The following table reflects the pro forma operating results of the Company for the three-month and nine-month fiscal periods

ended September 30, 2022 ~~and October 1, 2021,~~ which gives effect to the Acquisition as if the company had been acquired on January 1, 2021. The pro forma results are based on assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had ~~the Acquisition~~this acquisition been effective January 1, 2021, nor are they intended to be indicative of results that may occur in the future.

~~(2)~~ ~~Identifiable assets are assets at their respective net carrying values segregated as to segment and corporate use.~~

The increase in total assets was primarily due to the acquisition of Aircraft Wheel and Brake in the Engineered Products segment, partially offset by a decrease at Corporate due to the cash used to purchase Aircraft Wheel and Brake.

Other

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:

In the three-month and nine-month fiscal periods ended September 29, 2023, the net decreases in revenue were primarily related to cost growth on certain structures and precision products contracts. In the nine-month fiscal period, this decrease was partially offset by favorable cost performance on the joint programmable fuze ("JPF") contract with the U.S. Government ("USG").

In the three-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2022, the net decrease in revenue was primarily related to cost growth on certain structures programs and legacy fuzing contracts, partially offset by favorable cost performance on memory and measuring programs. The net reductions in revenue in the three-month fiscal period ended October 1, 2021 was primarily related to cost growth on certain missile fuzing contracts, partially offset by favorable cost performance on certain structures programs.

5. RESTRUCTURING AND SEVERANCE COSTS

Restructuring and severance costs are included in restructuring and severance costs on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and other unallocated expenses, net in Note 4, Revenue and Segment Information.

Transformation Restructuring

In December 2022, the Company began a review of all businesses and programs to increase efficiencies, improve working capital management and focus on sustainable and consistent revenue and profit generating activities. As a result of this review, the Company identified areas to reduce annualized costs in the Precision Products segment and at Corporate through streamlining processes, consolidating the production of fuzes for the JPF program at its Middletown facility, discontinuing K-MAX® helicopter production and right-sizing the Company's total cost structure. In the three-month and nine-month fiscal periods ended September 29, 2023, the Company incurred $0.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively, in severance costs associated with these actions. Of this amount, $0.3 million was related to share-based compensation expense in the nine-month fiscal period ended September 29, 2023. No share-based compensation expense was recorded to restructuring and severance costs in the three-month fiscal period ended September 29, 2023.

The following table summarizes the accrual balances by cost type for the restructuring actions:


	Severance		Other(1)		Total

Restructuring accrual balance at September 29, 2023	$	3,007	$	—	$	3,007

(1) Includes costs associated with the consolidation of facilities.

(2) Of the above accrual balance, $1.0 million was included in other long-term liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2022. The remainder was included in other current liabilities.

Other Matters

The Company ~~has~~ identified workforce reductions and other reductions in certain general and administrative expenses, which resulted in $1.9 million in restructuring and severance costs in the nine-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2022. In conjunction with the sale of the Company's Mexico operations in the third quarter of 2022, the Company reversed severance costs previously accrued, which were partially offset by costs incurred in the ~~current~~ period. This resulted in a net reduction to restructuring and severance costs of $0.2 million for the three-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2022. In the three-month and nine-month fiscal periods ended October 1, 2021, the Company incurred $0.4 million and $3.3 million in restructuring and severance costs. These costs were included in restructuring and severance costs on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

~~Other Matters~~

In addition to the restructuring and severance costs discussed above, in the nine-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $1.0 million in other severance expense. For the three-month and nine-month fiscal periods ended October 1, 2021, the Company incurred $2.2 million in costs associated with the separation of executive officers, which were included in restructuring and severance costs on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

8. 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:


		September 30, 2022				December 31, 2021					September 29, 2023				December 31, 2022
		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value			Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
In thousands	In thousands									In thousands
Debt (1)	Debt (1)	$	611,500	$	587,738	$	191,876	$	213,222	Debt (1)	$	581,500	$	547,294	$	562,500	$	547,393

(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 September ~~30, 2022~~29, 2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022 included ~~$0.1~~$5.4 million and ~~$65.5~~$0.1 million, respectively, of Level 1 money market funds.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company holds derivative instruments for foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps 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 September ~~30, 2022~~29, 2023, the interest rate swaps were included in other assets and other long-term assets on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At September 29, 2023, the foreign exchange contracts were included in other current liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the ~~derivative instruments~~foreign exchange contracts 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 September ~~30, 2022,~~29, 2023, such credit risks had not had an adverse impact on the fair value of these instruments.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

In the three-month and nine-month fiscal periods ended September 29, 2023, the Company incurred impairment charges of $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, associated with the write-off of inventory related to the K-MAX® program. Refer to Note 10, Inventories, for further information.

~~10.~~9. 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.

Cash Flow Hedges

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued~~Interest Rate Swaps

~~For~~

The Company's Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 12, Debt) contains floating rate obligations and is subject to interest rate fluctuations. At September 29, 2023, the Company has interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $175.0 million, for the purposes of hedging the eight quarterly variable-rate Credit Agreement interest payments due in 2023 and 2024. These interest rate swap agreements were designated as cash flow hedges and intended to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company's variable-rate borrowings and minimize the impact on earnings and cash flows of interest rate fluctuations attributable to changes in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). These interest rate swaps were not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three-month and nine-month fiscal periods ended September ~~30, 2022 and October 1, 2021~~

~~10. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)~~29, 2023. Over the next twelve months, the income related to cash flow hedges expected to be reclassified from other comprehensive income is $1.6 million.

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 September ~~30, 2022~~29, 2023 and December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

Management believes that approximately ~~$32.4~~$9.5 million of the K-MAX® inventory will be sold after September 30, ~~2023,~~2024, based upon ~~the anticipation of additional aircraft manufacturing and~~ the requirements to support the fleet for the foreseeable future.

As a result, the Company determined it would discontinue K-MAX® aircraft production and wrote off $44.5 million of inventory associated with the program as of December 31, 2022. Additionally, production material for the K-MAX® includes long lead parts, which the Company evaluates for alternative use as received. Any write-offs related to these parts are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of

operations or financial position. Inventory write-offs for the three-month and nine-month fiscal periods ended September 29, 2023 were $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

At September ~~30, 2022~~29, 2023 and December 31, ~~2021, $6.4~~2022, $5.4 million and ~~$6.0~~$6.2 million, respectively, of SH-2G(I) inventory was included in contracts and other work in process inventory on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On June 21, 2023 (the "Closing Date"), the Company closed an amended and restated $740.0 million Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent. The Credit Agreement amends and restates the Company's previously existing credit facility in its entirety to, among other things: (i) extend the maturity date to June 21, 2028; (ii) reduce the aggregate amount of revolving commitments from $800.0 million to $740.0 million; (iii) modify the financial covenants set forth in Article 6 of the previously existing credit facility; and (iv)

effectuate certain additional modifications set forth in the previously existing facility, including its pricing. 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 10.5 to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

~~(1)~~

The ~~borrowings~~financial covenants associated with the Credit Agreement require that (i) the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, as defined by the Credit Agreement, cannot be greater than 5.00 to 1.00 for any quarter ending on or after the Closing Date through September 28, 2023, 4.75 to 1.00 for each quarter ending thereafter through September 26, 2024, 4.50 to 1.00 for each quarter ending thereafter through September 25, 2025 and 4.00 to 1.00 for each quarter ending thereafter. The Company may elect to increase the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio by 0.50 to 1.00 if the Company consummates a Material Permitted Investment, which shall not exceed 5.00 to 1.00 for each of the four consecutive quarters that included the fiscal quarter in which the Material Permitted Investment is consummated. As of September 29, 2023, the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio was 3.89, as calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

In addition to the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement and discussed above, the financial covenants associated with the Credit Agreement also include a requirement that (i) the Interest Coverage Ratio cannot be less than 3.00 to 1.00; and (ii) Liquidity cannot be less than (a) an amount equal to 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes as of the last day of the third quarter of 2023 and (b) an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate principal of the 2024 Convertible Notes in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants as of and for the quarter ended September 29, 2023, and management does not anticipate noncompliance in the foreseeable future.

Interest rates on amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement are variable based on the SOFR. The interest rate at September 29, 2023 was 7.13%. We are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the unused revolving loan commitment amount at a rate ranging from 0.200% to 0.350% per annum, based on the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio. Fees for outstanding letters of credit range from 1.375% to 2.250%, based on the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio. At September 29, 2023, $382.0 million was outstanding under the revolving credit ~~agreement in~~facility and total average bank borrowings were $391.9 million during the nine-month fiscal period ended September ~~30, 2022~~29, 2023. Total average bank borrowings were ~~attributable to~~$120.7 million during the ~~funds required for the acquisition of Aircraft Wheel and Brake. Refer to Note 4,~~ ~~Business Combinations and Investments, for further information on this acquisition~~.

~~At September 30, 2022 and~~year ended December 31, ~~2021, the long-term debt balances on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were net of debt issuance costs of $1.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively.~~

~~The weighted average interest rate on long-term borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was 3.72% and 3.25%, respectively.~~

~~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.2022.

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


~~2024 Notes~~
~~Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount~~ ~~(1)~~						~~15.3227~~
~~Conversion Price~~ ~~(2)~~						~~65.2626~~
~~Contingent Conversion Price~~ ~~(3)~~						~~84.8413~~
~~Aggregate shares to be issued upon conversion~~ ~~(4)~~						~~3,056,879~~

~~(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 September 30, 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.

~~Convertible Notes - continued~~

~~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 recorded on January 1, 2022. 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 September 30, 2022 and October 1, 2021 was $0.3 million in both periods. Total amortization expense for the nine-month fiscal periods ended September 30, 2022 and October 1, 2021 was $0.8 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.

Refer to Note 2, ~~Recent Accounting Standards, for further information on the adoption of ASU 2020-06.~~

~~Revolving 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, which matures on December 13, 2024. Capitalized terms used but not defined within this Note 13, ~~Debt~~, have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement was further amended on December 8, 2021 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 to be based on LIBOR until it is phased out, at which time such borrowings will be based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. On May 31, 2022, the Credit Agreement was further amended to, among other things, adjust the Total Net Leverage Ratio financial covenant in anticipation of the consummation of the announced acquisition of Parker's Aircraft Wheel and Brake division. Prior to the amendment, the Credit Agreement included a requirement that the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio could not be greater than 4.00 to 1.00, with an election to increase the maximum to 4.50 to 1.00 for four consecutive quarters, in connection with a Material Permitted Investment. The financial covenant now requires for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or after the closing date of the acquisition of Parker's Aircraft Wheel and Brake division ("closing date"), the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, cannot be greater than 5.00 to 1.00 for any period of four consecutive quarters ending on or prior to the first anniversary of the closing date, 4.75 to 1.00 for any period of four consecutive quarters ending after the first anniversary and on or prior to second anniversary of the closing date, and 4.50 to 1.00 for any period of four consecutive quarters ending after the second anniversary of the closing date. In addition, the amendment adjusted the definitions of "permitted acquisition", "pro forma" and the "limited condition acquisition" provision, as applicable, to the acquisition of Parker's Aircraft Wheel and Brake division.

Debt issuance costs in connection with the Credit Agreement have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the agreement. In 2019, the Company incurred $3.6 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement. An additional $4.2 million of debt issuance costs were incurred in connection with the amendment of the Credit Agreement in 2022. Total amortization expense for the three-month fiscal periods ended September 30, 2022 and October 1, 2021 was $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Total amortization expense for the nine-month fiscal periods ended September 30, 2022 and October 1, 2021 was $1.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

(1) The Company has entered into standby letters of credit issued on the Company's behalf by financial institutions, and directly issued guarantees to third parties primarily related to advances received from customers and the guarantee of future performance on certain contracts. Letters of credit generally are available for draw down in the event the Company does not perform its obligations.

(2) Of these amounts, $65.1 million and $46.1 million ~~and $86.3 million~~in letters of credit relate to a JPF DCS contract in the periods ended September ~~30, 2022~~29, 2023 and December 31, ~~2021.~~2022, respectively.

(3) The Company's Convertible Notes will mature in 2024. The Company currently expects to settle the Convertible notes with available borrowing capacity under our Credit Agreement; however we are assessing potential options for the refinancing of these instruments prior to their scheduled maturity. With the extension of the Credit Agreement, the Company maintained sufficient capacity to use proceeds from this facility to repay the Convertible Notes. The amounts available for borrowing subject to EBITDA represents amounts available for borrowing after considering the Company's total debt obligations including its Credit Agreement and Convertible Notes.

Debt issuance costs in connection with the Credit Agreement have been capitalized. The Company incurred $4.8 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the amendment of the Credit Agreement in 2023, which are being amortized over the term of the agreement with the debt issuance costs associated with the previous existing credit facility for lenders that remained in the Credit Agreement. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a write-off of debt issuance costs of $0.6 million

related to lenders that are no longer participating in the Credit Agreement. Total amortization expense for the three-month fiscal periods ended September 29, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Total amortization expense for the nine-month fiscal periods ended September 29, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was $1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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~~$1.8 million. At September ~~30, 2022,~~29, 2023, the Company had ~~$0.6~~$0.5 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 ~~$15.4~~$15.5 million. At September ~~30, 2022,~~29, 2023, the Company had ~~$2.0~~$2.3 million accrued for these environmental remediation activities. A portion ($~~0.3~~0.4 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

The Company has entered into offset agreements as a condition to obtaining orders from a Middle Eastern customer for the Company's JPF product. Offset agreements are 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. Such agreements 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. The agreements 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 September ~~30, 2022,~~29, 2023, the aggregate amount of the Company's offset agreements had an outstanding notional value of approximately $220.9 million, which is equal to sixty percent of the ~~contract~~ value of the contracts as defined by the agreement between the customer and the Company. The amount ultimately applied against offset agreements 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.

The Company continues to work with the customer to further define the requirements to satisfy the offset agreements. In February 2023, the Company announced that it received a Business Plan Approval Letter to establish a manufacturing and final assembly facility in collaboration with an in-country vendor, which will enhance the technological capabilities available in this country. At September 29, 2023, the Company continues to work with the Tawazun Council to identify a suitable in-country vendor to support the manufacturing and final assembly facility as the Company is no longer working with the previously announced vendor. Offset programs typically extend over several years and may provide for penalties in the event the Company fails to perform according to offset requirements. The satisfaction of the offset requirements will be determined by the customer. In the event the offset requirements of the ~~contract~~contracts are not met, the Company could be liable for potential penalties up to $18.8 million payable to the customer. Failure to satisfy the offset requirements could also negatively impact the Company's ability to attract future orders from this customer. The Company considers these potential penalties to be a reduction to the transaction price in its determination of the value of the performance obligations within these contracts. At September ~~30, 2022, $17.7~~29, 2023, $18.8 million in contract liabilities associated with the potential penalties of the offset requirements were included on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

~~Guarantee~~Guarantees

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~~fulfilled the requirements of Option ~~16.~~16 in the second quarter of 2023 and the USG has indicated that they will not award the Company any future options. The ~~guarantee~~guaranty will remain in effect until the USG has confirmed that the Company has completed all obligations and the Company requests the expiration, which is expected to occur before the end of the fiscal year. The guaranty 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~~guaranty 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~~guaranty will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

On September 16, 2022, the Company acquired all of the assets and related liabilities of Parker's Aircraft Wheel and Brake division. In association with the acquisition, the Company entered into a novation agreement in which Parker's contractual obligations with respect to Aircraft Wheel and Brake at the time of the acquisition were transferred to the Company. There can be no assurance that this agreement will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

~~16.~~15. 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.

~~17.~~16. SHARE-BASED ARRANGEMENTS

The Company accounts for stock options, restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), restricted stock units ("RSUs") 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. Compensation expense for stock options, RSAs, RSUs 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 return on invested capital ("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. The PSUs granted in ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022 assumed a 100% achievement level. InShare-based compensation expense recorded for the ~~third quarter~~three-month and nine-month fiscal periods ended September 29, 2023 was $1.3 million and $5.2 million, respectively. For the nine-month fiscal period ended September 29, 2023, $0.3 million was recorded to restructuring and severance costs and the remaining amount was recorded to selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of ~~2022,~~Operations. No share-based compensation expense was recorded to restructuring and severance costs in the ~~PSUs granted in 2021 were adjusted to a 33% achievement level.~~three-month fiscal period ended September 29, 2023. Share-based compensation expense recorded for the three-month and nine-month fiscal periods ended September 30, 2022 was $1.3 million and $6.1 million, respectively. For the nine-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2022, $0.2 million was recorded to restructuring and severance costs and the remaining amounts were recorded to selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Restructuring and severance costs associated with share-based compensation for the three-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2022 were not material. Share-based compensation expense recorded for the three-month and nine-month fiscal periods ended October 1, 2021 was $1.5 million and $5.7 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $0.1 million and $0.3 million was recorded to restructuring and severance costs, respectively, and the remaining amounts were recorded to selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Executive Summary

In September 2022, we completed our acquisition of Aircraft Wheel and Brake, the largest acquisition in our history. Despite the addition of acquisition sales, supply chain and program challenges constrained our financial results in the third quarter. Consolidated net sales ~~decreased~~increased by ~~4.4%~~6.4% to ~~$172.0~~$183.0 million compared to the prior year period, primarily ~~due to an $11.9 million reduction~~driven by sales from our Aircraft Wheel and Brake acquisition and continued strong organic growth in the Engineered Products segment, partially offset by lower sales on our ~~safe and arm devices. This reduction was partially offset by higher sales in our commercial, business and general aviation products, as demand continues to recover for these products.~~Joint Programmable Fuze ("JPF") program. Gross margin as a percentage of sales ~~decreased~~increased in the quarter to ~~32.5%~~35.3% compared to ~~35.1%~~31.8% in the prior year period, due to ~~program challenges, such as cost growth on certain legacy fuzing programs and a decline in profitability~~improved performance on our ~~K-MAX® program, as well as~~bearings and PMA aftermarket products and the ~~$0.8 million inventory step-up~~addition of gross profit associated with ~~the purchase accounting for the~~our Aircraft Wheel and Brake acquisition. Selling, general and administrative expenses ("S,G&A") ~~increased~~decreased by ~~24.6%~~13.3% primarily due to ~~$10.6~~the absence of $10.3 million in ~~higher~~ corporate development ~~activities, mostly associated with~~costs incurred in the prior year related to the acquisition of Aircraft Wheel and Brake. Operating income in the period ~~decreased~~increased as a result of the drivers discussed above, ~~and due to an increase in research and development costs on the~~ ~~KARGO UAV~~ ~~unmanned aerial system,~~ partially offset by ~~lower restructuring~~a $2.5 million increase in intangible asset amortization expense driven by the Aircraft Wheel and ~~severance costs.~~Brake acquisition.

Other financial highlights

•Net earnings were ~~$0.6~~$1.5 million ~~and $8.7 million for~~in the three-month fiscal period ended September 29, 2023, $1.7 million higher than the comparable fiscal period in the prior year. The increase in net earnings was primarily driven by higher operating income resulting from the contribution of Aircraft Wheel and Brake and improved performance, partially offset by an increase in interest expense and lower non-service pension and post-retirement benefit income. The resulting GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.05 in the three-month fiscal period ending September 29, 2023, compared to loss per share of $0.01 in the prior year period.

•Net earnings were $6.0 million in the nine-month fiscal ~~periods~~period ended September ~~30, 2022, respectively, $14.0 million and $25.8~~29, 2023, $1.4 million lower than the comparable fiscal ~~periods~~period in the prior ~~year, respectively.

Impacts from Current Economy

We are currently operating in a period of global economic uncertainty, which has been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability due to ~~the~~ ongoing military ~~conflict~~conflicts, such as between Ukraine and Russia ~~the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic~~ and between Israel and Hamas, continuing U.S. sanctions on China's microchip manufacturing, inflation and rising interest rates. U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical ~~tensions, including the military conflict in Ukraine and the resulting sanctions imposed on Russia.~~tensions. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military ~~conflict is~~conflicts are highly unpredictable, ~~the conflict in Ukraine~~they could lead to market disruptions, including ~~significant~~ volatility in credit and capital markets, increases in commodity prices, supply chain interruptions, as well as the potential for increased risk of cyber disruptions. We are continuing to monitor the ~~situation in Ukraine,~~ongoing military conflicts, including ~~its~~their global effects, and assessing ~~its~~their 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~~As of the date of this filing, we have not been materially impacted by the ongoing military ~~conflict in Ukraine as of the date of this filing, we have begun to experience higher utility costs at our Germany operations in light of the European Union’s sanctions on Russia.~~conflicts. 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~~these conflicts may impact our business, cash flows or results of operations.

We also continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business and across the geographies in which we operate and serve customers, as well as the extent to which it has impacted and will continue to impact our customers, suppliers and other business partners. We are operating below pre-pandemic levels for certain commercial aerospace products. We are encouraged by the recoveries for these products and the strong order intake we saw in the first nine months of 2022; 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 and rising interest rates, as well as supply issues in material, services and labor due to economic policy, the pandemic and, more recently, the war in Ukraine. All of theseabove forces have ~~begun to impact~~impacted our supply chain; we are seeing quality issues and defects, part shortages and increased lead times for certain parts. In addition to supply chain impacts, we have been and believe we will continue to be impacted by higher interest expense given our outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility with a floating interest rate. These impacts are likely to persist through ~~2022~~the fourth quarter of 2023 and beyond. To mitigate risks associated with the floating interest rate on our credit facility, we entered into interest rate swap agreements, effective January 1, 2023, for the purposes of hedging the eight quarterly variable-rate Credit Agreement interest payments due in 2023 and 2024. These swaps will provide a fixed interest rate on approximately 65% of the Company's total long-term debt. We cannot predict the impact on the Company’s end markets or input costs nor the ability of the Company to recover cost increases through pricing.

S,G&A decreased for the three-month fiscal period ended September 29, 2023, when compared to the corresponding period in 2022, primarily attributable to the absence of $10.3 million in corporate development costs incurred in the prior year related to the acquisition of Aircraft Wheel and Brake and lower compensation and benefit costs as we realize savings associated with our restructuring activities announced earlier in the year. These decreases were partially offset by the addition of S,G&A from Aircraft Wheel and Brake.

S,G&A remained relatively flat for the nine-month fiscal period ended September 29, 2023, when compared to the corresponding period in 2022, primarily due to the absence of $12.3 million in corporate development costs incurred in the prior year related to the acquisition of Aircraft Wheel and Brake, mostly offset by the addition of S,G&A from Aircraft Wheel and Brake.

Restructuring and severance costs	$	571	$	(243)	$	3,033	$	2,853

In December 2022, the Company began a review of all businesses and programs to increase efficiencies, improve working capital management and focus on sustainable and consistent revenue and profit generating activities. As a result of this review, the Company identified areas to reduce annualized costs in the Precision Products segment and at Corporate through streamlining processes, consolidating the production of fuzes for the JPF program at its Middletown facility, discontinuing K-MAX® helicopter production and right-sizing the Company's total cost structure. In connection with these restructuring actions, the Company currently expects to incur approximately $10.0 to $12.0 million in total pre-tax restructuring charges, consisting of approximately $9.0 to $10.0 million of cash expenditures relating to various headcount reduction and personnel initiatives and approximately $1.0 to $2.0 million of cash expenditures relating to facility closing costs, which we anticipate will generate approximately $25.0 million in total annualized costs savings by 2024. In the three-month and nine-month fiscal periods ended September 29, 2023, the Company incurred $0.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively, in severance costs associated with these actions. Since the announcement of these actions, we have incurred $9.7 million in costs through September 29, 2023.

Operating income increased for the three-month and nine-month fiscal periods ended September 30, 2022, when compared to the corresponding periods in 2021. This was primarily attributable to $10.6 million and $12.7 million, respectively, in higher costs associated with corporate development activities mostly due to the acquisition of Aircraft Wheel and Brake in the current period. Additionally, in the nine-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2022, we experienced higher travel expenses as

restrictions imposed to limit the spread of COVID-19 are lifting. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in compensation expense as we realize the benefits from our cost reduction efforts in the prior year.

Costs from transition services agreement $ — $ 24 $ — $ 1,728

Upon closing the sale of our former Distribution business, the Company entered into a TSA with the buyer, pursuant to which the Company agreed to support the information technology ("IT"), human resources and benefits, tax and treasury functions of the Distribution business for six to twelve months. The buyer exercised an option to extend the support period for up to one additional year for certain services. During the third quarter of 2021, the TSA expired and all services were completed as of the end of the period. As such, there were no costs incurred associated with TSA and no income earned from the TSA in the three-month and nine-month fiscal periods ended September 30, 2022. Costs incurred and income earned associated with the TSA for the three-month fiscal period ended October 1, 2021 were not material. The Company incurred $1.7 million in costs associated with the TSA, which were partially offset by $0.9 million in income earned from the TSA in the nine-month fiscal period ended October 1, 2021. The income earned from the TSA was included below operating income in income from transition services agreement on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Restructuring and severance costs $ (243) $ 2,611 $ 2,853 $ 5,479

The Company has identified workforce reductions and other reductions in certain general and administrative expenses which resulted in $1.9 million in restructuring and severance costs in the nine-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2022. In conjunction with the sale of the Company's Mexico operations in the third quarter of 2022, the Company reversed severance costs previously accrued, which were partially offset by costs incurred in the current period. This resulted in a net reduction to restructuring and severance costs of $0.2 million for the three-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2022. In the three-month and nine-month fiscal periods ended October 1, 2021, the Company incurred $0.4 million and $3.3 million in restructuring and severance costs associated with cost reduction efforts. These costs were included in restructuring and severance costs on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Actions taken throughout 2021 and 2022 have started to generate savings in the first half of 2022, with total annualized cost savings of approximately $12.0 million being realized by 2024. Through the nine-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2022, we have realized approximately $6.4 million in savings related to these actions.

In addition to the restructuring and severance costs discussed above, in the nine-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $1.0 million in other severance expense. In both the three-month and nine-month fiscal periods ended October 1, 2021, we incurred $2.2 million in costs associated with the separation of executive officers.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three-month fiscal period ended September 29, 2023 decreased when compared to the corresponding period in 2022, primarily due to lower sales on the JPF program and legacy fuzing programs. These decreases, totaling $30.5 million, were partially offset by higher sales on our FireBurstTM and KARGO programs and from K-MAX® spares and exchanges.

Major Programs/Product Lines

Below is a discussion of significant changes in major programs within the Precision Products segment during the first nine months of ~~2022.~~2023. See our ~~2021~~2022 Form 10-K, including Item 1A, "Risk Factors", for a complete discussion of our major programs.

FMU-152 A/B – JPF

We manufacture and produce the FMU 152 A/B (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 ~~USG,~~U.S. Government ("USG"), Foreign Military Sales ("FMS") through the USG and Direct 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 ~~6,643~~102 fuzes were delivered to our customers during the third quarter of ~~2022,~~2023, bringing the year-to-date total to ~~16,682 fuzes for the nine-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2022.~~8,548 fuzes. We expect to deliver ~~20,000~~8,500 to ~~25,000~~10,000 fuzes in ~~2022.~~2023. Total JPF backlog at September ~~30, 2022~~29, 2023 was ~~$36.3~~$9.6 million, down from ~~$103.4~~$20.0 million at December 31, ~~2021. We expect to recognize the majority of this backlog by the end of the year and currently have no additional firm orders, although active interest remains from our DCS customers.~~2022.

Our JPF program continues to ~~move through~~wind down as it moves to the end of its ~~product~~ lifecycle, reflecting the previously announced decision of the United States Air Force ("USAF") to move from the JPF to the FMU-139 D/B (which we do not manufacture ~~and~~or produce) as its primary fuze system. We ~~are currently working to complete~~completed Option 16 of our JPF contract with the ~~USG. Like~~USG in the ~~option before it, Option 16 relates~~second quarter of 2023, which related solely to the procurement of fuzes by or in support of foreign militaries and does not include any sales to the USAF. ~~We currently believe~~The USG has indicated that ~~Option 16~~they will ~~extend JPF production into early 2023, but we do~~ not ~~expect to receive~~award us any ~~additional orders from the USG, either as direct sales to the USG or indirect sales to foreign militaries through the USG. Therefore,~~future options; therefore, the future viability of our JPF program will depend entirely on our ability to market and sell the JPF to foreign

militaries in DCS transactions. We are currently in discussions with two Middle Eastern customers for one or more follow-on orders aggregating a minimum of $45.0 million that would further extend the life of the program, but there can be no assurance as to the receipt, magnitude and timing of these orders. Moreover, any such orders, if received, would be subject to the receipt of all necessary export approvals, licenses and other authorizations needed to effectuate the sales, which are subject to political and geopolitical conditions beyond our control. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we announced a restructuring plan that will lead to the permanent closure of our Orlando, Florida manufacturing facility by the end of 2024. The Company has consolidated JPF production in its Middletown, Connecticut, facility as the facility has the potential capacity to fulfill the requirements for future DCS orders.

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

•the maturity of our Convertible Notes;

•the matters described in Note ~~15,~~14, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to Condensed 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, including the funding of our Aircraft Wheel and Brake acquisition;~~activities;

•finance and operating lease payments;

•capital expenditures;

•research and development expenditures;

•repurchase of common stock under 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 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. Our Convertible Notes will mature in 2024, as discussed below. We currently expect to settle our Convertible Notes with available borrowing capacity under our Credit Agreement; however we continue to assess other potential options for the refinancing of these instruments prior to their scheduled maturity. With the extension of our Credit Agreement, we maintained sufficient capacity to use proceeds from this facility to repay the Convertible Notes and satisfy our 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 ~~2021~~2022 Form 10-K for further information on our ~~Financing Arrangements.~~Convertible Notes.

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 purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

We incurred $7.4 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the sale of the 2024 Notes, which were 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 recorded on January 1, 2022. The remaining balance of debt issuance costs is being amortized over the term of the convertible notes. ~~Total~~In both periods, total amortization expense for the three-month ~~fiscal periods ended September 30, 2022~~ and ~~October 1, 2021 was $0.3 million in both periods. Total amortization expense for the~~ nine-month fiscal periods ended September 29, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was $0.3 million and ~~October 1, 2021 was~~ $0.8 million, ~~in both periods. Refer to Note 2,~~ ~~Recent Accounting Standards, for further information on the adoption and impacts of ASU 2020-06.~~respectively.

Credit Agreement

On ~~December 13, 2019,~~June 21, 2023 (the "Closing Date"), the Company closed an amended and restated ~~$800.0~~$740.0 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~~amends and ~~consists~~restates the Company's previously existing credit facility in its entirety to, among other things: (i) extend the maturity date to June 21, 2028; (ii) reduce the aggregate amount of revolving commitments from $800.0 million to $740.0 million; (iii) modify the financial covenants set forth in Article 6 of ~~$800.0 million.~~the previously existing credit facility; and (iv) effectuate certain additional modifications set forth in the previously existing facility, including its pricing. 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 ~~10.43~~10.5 to our ~~2021~~Quarterly Report on Form ~~10-K.~~10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

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. These reforms may cause LIBOR to perform differently than in the past, and LIBOR may ultimately cease to 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”~~("SOFR")~~, which is calculated by short-term repurchase agreements.~~

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 to be based on LIBOR until it is phased out, at which time such borrowings will be based on SOFR. At this time, it is not possible to predict the effect of any changes to LIBOR, the 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 within 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.

On May 31, 2022, the Credit Agreement was further amended to, among other things, adjust the Total Net Leverage Ratio financial covenant in anticipation of the consummation of the announced acquisition of Parker's Aircraft Wheel and Brake division. Refer to Note 13, ~~Debt, for further information on this amendment.~~

~~At September 30, 2022, $412.0 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility.~~. The interest rate at September ~~30, 2022~~29, 2023 was ~~3.94%~~7.13%. We are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the unused revolving loan commitment amount at a rate ranging from ~~0.150%~~0.200% to ~~0.250%~~0.350% per annum, based on the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio. Fees for outstanding letters of credit range from ~~1.125%~~1.375% to ~~1.625%~~2.250%, based on the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio. ~~Total~~At September 29, 2023, $382.0 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility and total average bank borrowings were $391.9 million during the nine-month fiscal period ended September ~~30, 2022~~29, 2023. Total average bank borrowings were ~~$24.1 million. There were no bank borrowings~~$120.7 million during the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. As of September 29, 2023, the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio was 3.89, as calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement, as compared to the ceiling of 4.75 to 1.00.

The following table shows the amounts available for borrowing under the Company's revolving credit facility:

Debt issuance costs in connection with the Credit Agreement have been ~~capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the agreement. In 2019, we~~capitalized. The Company incurred ~~$3.6~~$4.8 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the amendment ~~and restatement of the Credit Agreement. An additional $4.2 million of debt issuance costs were incurred in connection with the amendment~~ of the Credit Agreement in ~~2022.~~2023, which are being amortized over the term of the agreement with the debt issuance costs associated with the previous existing credit facility for lenders that remained in the Credit Agreement. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a write-off of debt issuance costs of $0.6 million related to lenders that are no longer participating in the Credit Agreement. Total amortization expense for the three-month fiscal periods ended September 29, 2023 and September 30, 2022 ~~and October 1, 2021~~ was ~~$0.7~~$0.4 million and ~~$0.2~~$0.7 million, respectively. Total amortization expense for the nine-month fiscal periods ended September 29, 2023 and September 30, 2022 ~~and October 1, 2021~~ was ~~$1.2~~$1.6 million and ~~$0.6~~$1.2 million, respectively.

Interest Rate Swaps

During 2022, we entered into interest rate swap agreements, effective January 1, 2023, for the purposes of hedging the eight quarterly variable-rate Credit Agreement interest payments due in 2023 and 2024. These interest rate swap agreements were designated as cash flow hedges and intended to manage interest rate risk associated with our variable-rate borrowings and minimize the impact on our earnings and cash flows of interest rate fluctuations attributable to changes in SOFR. These interest rate swaps were not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 29, 2023. Over the next twelve months, the income related to cash flow hedges expected to be reclassified from other comprehensive income is $1.6 million.

Other Sources/Uses of Capital

~~Near Earth Autonomy~~

Concurrent with the $10.0 million investment we made into Near Earth Autonomy, we entered into a Master Technology Maturation Agreement for a five-year initial term. The agreement requires the Company to contract with Near Earth Autonomy for a minimum spend of $1.0 million per year of the Company's own funds or $2.0 million per year from any source of revenue arranged by the Company.

Letters of Credit

Of the standby letters of credit under our credit facility, ~~$46.1~~$65.1 million in letters of credit relate to a JPF DCS contract, including the offset agreement. 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.

No contributions have been or are expected to be made to the qualified pension plan during ~~2022.~~2023. The Company contributed $0.4 million to the SERP through the end of the third quarter of ~~2022~~2023 and plans to contribute an additional $0.1 million to the SERP in ~~2022. For the 2021 plan year, the Company contributed $10.0 million~~2023. In 2022, no contribution was made to the qualified pension plan and ~~$2.7~~we paid $0.5 million ~~to the SERP.~~in SERP benefits.

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 September 30, 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

As of September ~~30, 2022,~~29, 2023, future compensation costs related to non-vested stock options, restricted stock grants and performance stock grants is ~~$11.4~~$10.2 million. The Company anticipates that this cost will be recognized over a weighted-average period of ~~2.0~~1.9 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

In the third quarter of 2022, we entered into a contractual obligation for licenses related to the implementation and upgrade of an enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system for three of our business units. These license costs of $6.5 million will be incurred over a five-year period.

~~Other than the item noted above, there~~There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in our contractual obligations or off-balance sheet arrangements during the first nine months of ~~2022.~~2023. See our ~~2021~~2022 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 ~~2021~~2022 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~~There have been no recent changes in accounting standards ~~is included in Note 2,~~ ~~Recent Accounting Standards~~,during the first nine months of ~~the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.~~2023.

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 nine months of ~~2022.~~2023. See the Company’s ~~2021~~2022 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 September ~~30, 2022.~~29, 2023. 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 September ~~30, 2022,~~29, 2023, 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.

The Company is in the process of implementing a new enterprise-wide business system for our Aircraft Wheel and Brake division. Prior to go-live, we are utilizing IT services from Parker-Hannifin under the transaction services agreement. We have developed a project plan for the implementation which includes appropriate contingencies. The implementation of the new ERP system will likely affect the processes that constitute our internal control over financial reporting and will require testing for effectiveness.

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 September ~~30, 2022.~~29, 2023. 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 September ~~30, 2022,~~29, 2023, 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 ~~15,~~14, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Aircraft Safety Matters

The Company designs, manufactures, services and sells complex and sophisticated aerospace parts, subassemblies and aircraft. These products are manufactured according to detailed specifications and are subject to strict approval or certification requirements. Technical, mechanical and other failures may occur as a result of manufacturing or design defects, operational processes or production issues attributable to us, our customers, suppliers, third party integrators or others. Due to the nature of the Company's business, liability claims may arise from accidents involving products the Company has manufactured, including claims for injury or death. Product or system failures could result in product recalls, regulatory directives and product liability and warranty claims (including claims related to the safety or reliability of our products). Such failures could also lead to service, repair and maintenance costs, damages and fines and regulatory and environmental liabilities. While management believes that the Company maintains adequate insurance for these risks, insurance cannot be obtained to protect against all risks and liabilities. It is therefore possible that the insurance coverage may not cover all claims or liabilities, and the Company may be forced to bear unanticipated costs or liabilities. As of September 29, 2023, the Company is party to pending litigation proceedings relating to two incidents involving K-MAX® helicopters that each resulted in a fatality, and the Company has been notified of additional potential claims relating to one of such incidents. Each incident is the subject of one or more investigations undertaken by applicable civil aviation agencies located in the jurisdiction of the incident. These investigations are at varying stages of completion; certain agencies have issued final reports or taken other actions, while other investigations remain in progress. While it is not possible to predict the final outcome of all investigations, litigation or claims relating to these or other potential incidents, management believes that all such investigations, litigation or claims in existence at September 29, 2023, are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations or cash flows.

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 September ~~30, 2022,~~29, 2023, 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 ~~2021~~2022 Form ~~10-K.~~10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023. Except as set forth below, we do not believe there have been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our ~~2021~~2022 Form 10-K, as updated by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, 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.

Although we continueor design defects, operational processes or production issues attributable to ~~meet the demands of~~us, our customers, ~~we have seen some disruptions in our supply chain, such~~suppliers, third party integrators or others. Our products could also fail as delays in materials and components used in our manufacturing process, and we continue to operate below pre-pandemic levels for certain commercial aerospace products. We are encouraged by the recoveries for these products and the strong order intake we saw in the first nine monthsa result of 2022; however, the extent to which COVID-19 may adversely impact our business depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, the severity and duration of the pandemic and the effectiveness of actions taken globally to contain or mitigate its effects. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may experience adverse impacts to our business due to any resulting economic recession or depression. Additionally, concerns over the economic impact of COVID-19 have caused extreme volatility in financial and other capital markets which has, and may continue to, adversely impact our stock price and our ability to access capital markets. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this report and the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K,cyber-attacks, such as those ~~relating to~~that seize control and result in misuse or unintended use of our products, ~~and financial performance.~~

Such failures could also lead to ~~meet our demand requirements, maintain~~service, repair and maintenance costs, damages and fines and regulatory and environmental liabilities. While management believes that the ~~pricing~~Company maintains adequate insurance for these risks, insurance cannot be obtained to protect against all risks and liabilities. It is therefore possible that the insurance coverage may not cover all claims or liabilities, and the Company may be forced to bear unanticipated costs or liabilities. As of ~~their products~~September 29, 2023, the Company is party to pending litigation proceedings relating to two incidents involving K-MAX® helicopters that each resulted in a fatality, and the Company has been notified of additional potential claims relating to one of such incidents.

We are subject to a variety of U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. environmental, health and safety laws and regulations concerning, among other things, the health and safety of our employees, the generation, storage, use, transportation and disposal of certain materials including hazardous materials, emissions or discharges of substances into the environment, and investigation and remediation of hazardous substances or materials at various sites. Our operations involve the use, primarily in our manufacturing processes, of substances subject to these laws and regulations. Our failure to comply with these laws or regulations could result in regulatory penalties, fines, and legal liabilities; suspension of production; alteration of our

Furthermore, environmental laws outside of the U.S. are becoming more stringent, resulting in increased costs and compliance burdens.

We are also subject to ~~market~~other environmental laws and ~~sell~~regulations, including those that require us to investigate and remediate soil or groundwater to meet certain remediation standards. Under federal law, generators of waste materials, and current and former owners or operators of facilities, can be subject to liability for investigation and remediation costs at locations that have been identified as requiring response actions. Liability under these laws may be retroactive, strict, joint and several, meaning that we could be liable for the ~~FMU 152 A/B~~costs of cleaning up environmental contamination regardless of when it occurred, fault or the amount of waste directly attributable to ~~foreign militaries in direct commercial sales transactions.~~us. We have liabilities for investigation and remediation costs at various sites; however, the ultimate cost of site cleanup and timing of future cash outflows is difficult to predict, given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, and alternative cleanup methods.

~~Our JPF program continues~~Additionally, future environmental investigation and remediation costs, including capital expenditures for environmental projects, may increase because of new laws and regulations, changing interpretations and stricter enforcement of current laws and regulations by regulatory authorities, expanding groundwater and other testing requirements, and new information on emerging contaminants such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”), as well as uncertainty regarding remediation methods for such emerging contaminants.

In 2014, the Company sold its former manufacturing facility in Moosup, Connecticut, to ~~move through its product lifecycle, reflecting~~TD Development, LLC ("TD"). Although TD, assumed contractual and statutory responsibility for the ~~previously announced decision~~environmental remediation work required on this site (subject to a cost-sharing arrangement with the Company), the Company may be liable for the full cost of the ~~United States Air Force ("USAF"~~investigation, remediation and abatement of the site if TD fails to perform its contractual and statutory obligations. In September 2021, TD’s principal, Todd Clifford (“Clifford”) filed for bankruptcy protection, and during the course of that bankruptcy proceeding, the Company has learned that neither TD nor Clifford is expected to ~~move from~~have the ~~FMU 152 A/B (the "JPF") (which we manufacture~~means to support the investigation, remediation and ~~produce)~~abatement of the site.

We are currently working to complete Option 16 of our JPF contract with~~responsibility for the ~~USG. Like the option before it, Option 16 relates solely to the procurement of fuzes by or in support of foreign militaries~~investigation, remediation and does not include any sales to the USAF. We currently believe that Option 16 will extend JPF production into early 2023, but we do not expect to receive any additional orders from the USG, either as direct sales to the USG or indirect sales to foreign militaries through the USG. Therefore, the future viability of our JPF program will depend entirely on our ability to market and sell the JPF to foreign militaries in direct commercial sales (“DCS”) transactions. As of September 30, 2022, our total JPF backlog was $36.3 million, and we expect to recognize substantially allabatement of the ~~backlog by the end of the year. While we have no additional firm orders, we are currently in discussions~~site, with ~~two Middle Eastern customers for one or more follow-on orders aggregating~~ a ~~minimum of $45.0 million that would further extend the life of the program, but there can be no assurance as to the receipt, magnitude and timing of these orders.

The occurrence of either of these events may indicate a triggering event for impairment of some or all of the goodwill associated with the KPP-Orlando reporting unit, a division of the Precision Products segment which manufactures and produces the JPF.remediation activities.

As of September 30, 2022, we had $611.5 million in long-term debt outstanding. Additionally, our secured revolving credit facility has a remaining borrowing capacity of $30.2 million, subject to EBITDA, as of September 30, 2022 (all of which would be secured when drawn).

~~Our overall leverage and the terms of our financing arrangements could:~~

•limit our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures or acquisitions, to fund growth or for general corporate purposes, even when necessary to maintain adequate liquidity, particularly if any ratings assigned to our debt securities by ratings organizations were revised downward;

•~~make it more difficult for us to satisfy the terms of our obligations under the terms of our financing arrangements;~~

•~~limit our ability to refinance our indebtedness on terms acceptable to us, or at all;~~

•limit our flexibility to plan for and to adjust to changing business and market conditions in the industries in which we operate and increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

•~~require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our~~ cash flow from operations to make interest and principal payments on our debt, thereby limiting the availability of our cash flow to fund future investments, capital expenditures, working capital, business activities and other general corporate requirements;

•~~increase our vulnerability to adverse economic or industry conditions; and~~

•~~subject us to higher levels of indebtedness than our competitors, which may cause a competitive disadvantage and may reduce our flexibility in responding to increased competition.~~

Our ability to meet expenses and debt service obligations will depend on our future performance, which will be affected by financial, business, economic and other factors, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the inflationary environment, rising interest rates, potential changes in consumer and customer preferences and behaviors, the success of product and marketing innovation and pressure from competitors. If we do not generate enough cash to pay our debt service obligations, we may be required to refinance all or part of our existing debt, sell assets, borrow more money or issue additional equity.flows.
