Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of results for the interim period have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017~~2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017. All references to years in these financial statements are to fiscal years.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year's presentation. During 2018, we made a change to our segment reporting structure and merged our former Components segment into Space and Defense Controls and Industrial Systems. The Goodwill and Segment footnotes have been restated to reflect these changes.

Standard	Description	Financial Statement Effect or Other Significant Matters
ASU no. 2018-02 Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income	The standard amends existing guidance and allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings for stranded deferred tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The standard requires certain disclosures about stranded deferred tax effects. The provisions of the standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.	We adopted this standard recording the related stranded deferred tax effects in the period of adoption, resulting in $47,077 being reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings as of March 31, 2018.
		Date early adopted: Q2 2018

In 2018, we changed our segment reporting structure as our former Components segment was separated and merged into Space and Defense Controls and Industrial Systems. As a result, the September 30, 2017 balances for those segments were restated to reflect this change. Goodwill for Space and Defense Controls and Industrial Systems increased by $86,995 and $224,194, respectively, than what was previously reported.

Goodwill in our Space and Defense Controls segment is net of a $4,800 accumulated impairment loss at ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2018.

Goodwill in our Medical Devices reporting unit, included in our Industrial Systems segment, is net of a $38,200 accumulated impairment loss at ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2018.

The gross carrying amounts, accumulated amortization and amortization expense in the disclosures below reflect the full write off of intangible assets in relation to restructuring actions taken in our Industrial Systems segment. We recorded this charge during the second quarter of 2018 based on the expected cash flows over the remaining life of the assets. Refer to Note 11, Restructuring, for additional disclosures.

Our U.S. revolving credit facility matures on June 28, 2021. Our U.S. revolving credit facility has a capacity of $1,100,000 and provides an expansion option, which permits us to request an increase of up to $200,000 to the credit facility upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets. The loan agreement contains various covenants which, among others, specify interest coverage and maximum ~~leverage and capital expenditures.~~leverage. We are in compliance with all covenants.

At ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, we had $300,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due December 1, 2022 with interest paid semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The senior notes are unsecured obligations, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain subsidiaries and contain normal incurrence-based covenants and limitations such as the ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make other restricted payments and investments, create liens and certain corporate acts such as mergers and consolidations.

The Securitization Program ~~was extended on October 23, 2017 and now~~ matures on October 23, ~~2019. The Securitization Program provides~~2019 and effectively increases our borrowing capacity by up to ~~$130,000 of borrowing capacity.~~$130,000. Under the Securitization Program, we sell certain trade receivables and related rights to an affiliate, which in turn sells an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the trade receivables to a financial institution, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. Interest for the Securitization Program is based on 30-day LIBOR plus an applicable margin. A commitment fee is also charged based on a percentage of the unused amounts available and is not material. The agreement governing the Securitization Program contains restrictions and covenants which include limitations on the making of certain restricted payments, creation of certain liens, and certain corporate acts such as mergers, consolidations and sale of substantially all assets. The Securitization Program has a minimum borrowing requirement equal to the lesser of either 80% of our borrowing capacity or 100% of our borrowing base, which is a subset of the trade receivables sold under this agreement. As of ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, our minimum borrowing requirement was $104,000.

Note 8 - Derivative Financial Instruments

We principally use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk associated with long-term debt and foreign exchange risk related to foreign operations and foreign currency transactions. We enter into derivative financial instruments with a number of major financial institutions to minimize counterparty credit risk.

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments

Interest rate swaps are used to adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable and fixed interest rates. The interest rate swaps are designated as hedges of the amount of future cash flows related to interest payments on variable-rate debt that, in combination with the interest payments on the debt, convert a portion of the variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. At ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, we had interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $150,000. The interest rate swaps effectively convert this amount of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt at ~~2.62%~~2.87%, including the applicable margin of ~~1.38%~~1.63% as of ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2018. The interest will revert back to variable rates based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin upon the maturity of the interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps mature at various times through June 23, 2020.

We use foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges to effectively fix the exchange rates on future payments and revenue. To mitigate exposure in movements between various currencies, including the Philippine peso, ~~and the British pound,~~ we had outstanding foreign currency forwards with notional amounts of ~~$51,608~~$40,088 at ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2018. These contracts mature at various times through ~~November 29, 2019.~~February 28, 2020.

We use forward currency contracts to hedge our net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. To mitigate the exposure in foreign currencies, we had an outstanding net investment hedge in Euro, with a notional amount of $27,227 at June 30, 2018, maturing in our fourth quarter of 2018.

These interest rate swaps, ~~and~~ foreign currency contracts and net investment hedges are recorded in the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value and the related gains or losses are deferred in shareholders’ equity as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCIL). These deferred gains and losses are reclassified into the consolidated condensed statements of earnings, as necessary, during the periods in which the related payments or receipts affect earnings. However, to the extent the interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts are not perfectly effective in offsetting the change in the value of the payments and revenue being hedged, the ineffective portion of these contracts is recognized in earnings immediately. Ineffectiveness was not material in the first ~~three~~nine months of 2018 or 2017.

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

We also have foreign currency exposure on balances, primarily intercompany, that are denominated in foreign currencies and are adjusted to current values using period-end exchange rates. The resulting gains or losses are recorded in the consolidated condensed statements of earnings. To minimize foreign currency exposure, we had foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of ~~$107,528~~$122,408 at ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2018. The foreign currency contracts are recorded in the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value and resulting gains or losses are recorded in the consolidated condensed statements of earnings. We recorded the following gains or losses on foreign currency contracts which are included in other income or expense and generally offset the gains or losses from the foreign currency adjustments on the intercompany balances that are also included in other income or expense:

Note 9 - Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. The definition of the fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.

Level 3 – Inputs for which significant valuation assumptions are unobservable in a market and therefore value is based on the best available data, some of which is internally developed and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.

Our derivatives are valued using various pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses that incorporate observable market data, such as interest rate yield curves and currency rates, and are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

The following table presents the fair values and classification of our financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, all of which are classified as Level 2.


	Classification	December 30, 2017		September 30, 2017		Classification	June 30, 2018		September 30, 2017

Our only financial instrument for which the carrying value differs from its fair value is long-term debt. At ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, the fair value of long-term debt was ~~$974,451~~$865,650 compared to its carrying value of ~~$965,263.~~$860,962. The fair value of long-term debt is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and was estimated based on quoted market prices.

Note 11 - Restructuring

In 2018, we initiated restructuring actions in conjunction with exiting the wind pitch control business within our Industrial Systems segment. These actions will result in workforce reductions, principally in Germany and China. Charges taken consist of $9,727 of non-cash inventory reserves, $12,316of non-cash charges for the impairment of intangible assets, $2,203 of non-cash charges, primarily for the impairment of long-lived assets, $6,039 for severance and $1,951 for other costs.

Restructuring activity for severance and other costs is as follows:


	Total			Aircraft Controls			Industrial Systems			Corporate			Total
Balance at September 30, 2017	$	1,168		$	130		$	—		$	1,038		$	1,168

As of June 30, 2018, the restructuring accrual consists of $592 for the 2016 plan and $7,430 for the 2018 plan. Restructuring for all plans is expected to be paid by ~~July 1, 2019 and is classified as current or long-term liabilities based on payment arrangements.~~September 28, 2019.

Note 12 - Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 were 25.8% and 56.4%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the ~~three~~nine months ended~~December~~ June 30, ~~2017 was 97.3%. The effective~~2018 is higher than would be expected by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate ~~for this period was significantly impacted by~~to earnings before income taxes primarily due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") of ~~2017.~~2017 and limited tax benefits associated with the restructuring charges taken in foreign jurisdictions of our Industrial Systems segment.

The Act was enacted on December 22, 2017. It reduces the USU.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred and creates new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings. As of ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, we have not completed the accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Act; however, as described below, we have made a reasonable estimate of the effects on the one-time transition tax, withholding taxes on earnings deemed to be repatriated and existing deferred tax balances. These amounts are provisional and subject to change as the determination of the impact of the income tax effects will require additional analysis of historical records, annual data and further interpretation of the Act from yet to be issued U.S. Treasury regulations.

During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017~~2018, we recorded a ~~$31,000,~~$31,300 one-time transition tax on undistributed foreign earnings deemed to be repatriated and a tax charge of ~~$15,250~~$16,085 as an additional provision for ~~withholding~~ taxes on undistributed earnings not considered to be permanently reinvested. No additional income taxes have been provided for any remaining undistributed foreign earnings not subject to the transition tax, or any additional outside basis difference inherent in these entities, as these amounts continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. Determining the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to any remaining undistributed foreign earnings not subject to the transition tax and additional outside basis difference in these entities is not practicable. These charges are partially offset by a ~~$12,225~~$9,487 benefit due to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from a lower U.S. corporate tax rate, which took into account our decision to accelerate pension contributions into our 2017 pension plan year. This allows the pension contribution tax deduction to be taken in our 2017 federal income tax return which is taxed at the 35% federal rate.

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended ~~December 31, 2016 was 17.6%.~~July 1, 2017 were 17.0% and 23.4%, respectively. The effective tax rate for ~~this period is~~these periods are lower than would be expected by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate to earnings before income taxes primarily from the tax benefits associated with ~~selling our European space businesses.~~

Note 17 - Related Party Transactions

On November 20, 2017, John Scannell was elected to the Board of Directors of M&T Bank Corporation and M&T Bank. We currently engage with M&T Bank in the ordinary course of business for various financing activities, all of which were initiated prior to the election of Mr. Scannell to the Board. M&T Bank provides credit extension for routine purchases, which for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017~~2018 totaled ~~$5,459.~~$16,790. At ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, we held a $15,000 interest rate swap with M&T Bank and outstanding leases with a total original cost of ~~$27,955.~~$28,984. M&T Bank also maintains an interest of approximately 12% in our U.S. revolving credit facility. Further details of the U.S. revolving credit facility can be found in Note 6, Indebtedness.

Note 18 - Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings. We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings which management believes will result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We are engaged in administrative proceedings with governmental agencies and legal proceedings with governmental agencies and other third parties in the normal course of our business, including litigation under Superfund laws, regarding environmental matters. We believe that adequate reserves have been established for our share of the estimated cost for all currently pending environmental administrative or legal proceedings and do not expect that these environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In the ordinary course of business we could be subject to ongoing claims or disputes from our customers, the ultimate settlement of which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations. While the receivables and any loss provisions recorded to date reflect management's best estimate of the projected costs to complete a given project, there may still be significant effort required to complete the ultimate deliverable. Future variability in internal cost as well as future profitability is dependent upon a number of factors including deliveries, performance and government budgetary pressures. The inability to achieve a satisfactory contractual solution, further unplanned delays, additional developmental cost growth or variations in any of the estimates used in the existing contract analysis could lead to further loss provisions. Additional losses could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the period in which the loss may be recognized.

We are contingently liable for ~~$48,793~~$44,232 of standby letters of credit issued by a bank to third parties on our behalf at ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2018.

Note 19 - Subsequent Event

On April 30, 2018, we acquired Electro-Optical Imaging, a designer and manufacturer of video trackers and imaging products, located in Florida, for $5 million. This operation is included in our Space and Defense Controls segment.

On March 29, 2018, we acquired a 100% ownership interest in VUES Brno s.r.o located in the Czech Republic, which includes a 74% ownership interest in a subsidiary located in Germany, for $64 million. VUES designs and manufactures customized electric motors, generators and solutions. This operation is included in our Industrial Systems segment.

On October 3, 2017, we, in collaboration with SIA Engineering Company, announced the joint venture company, Moog Aircraft Services Asia ("MASA"), in Singapore, of which we currently hold a 51% ownership. MASA is intended to provide maintenance, repair and overhaul services for our manufactured flight control systems. As we hold a majority ownership in MASA, but share voting control, we are accounting for this investment using the equity method. At June 30, 2018, we have made total contributions of $5 million to MASA. This operation is included in our Aircraft Controls segment.

In 2017, we acquired Rotary Transfer Systems, a manufacturer of electromechanical systems, located in Germany and France for $43 million. This acquisition is included in our Industrial Systems segment. We also sold non-core businesses in our Space and Defense Controls segment for $7 million and recorded losses in other expense of $13 million related to the sales.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

On a regular basis, we evaluate the critical accounting policies used to prepare our consolidated financial statements, including, but not limited to, revenue recognition on long-term contracts, contract and contract-related loss reserves, reserves for inventory valuation, reviews for impairment of goodwill, reviews for impairment of long-lived assets, pension assumptions and income taxes. See Note 12 of the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Item 1, Financial Statements of this report for the impact of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

Other than that described below, there have been no material changes in critical accounting policies in the current year from those disclosed in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reviews for Impairment of Goodwill

Interim Test

Effective October 1, 2017, we changed our segment reporting structure from four to three reporting segments. The former Components reporting segment has been divided and merged into the Space and Defense Controls and Industrial Systems reporting segments. This change also impacted the reporting units we use to review goodwill for impairment. Based on the accounting rules that require aggregation of components with similar economic characteristics, we have changed the number of reporting units from five to four - Aircraft Controls, Space and Defense Controls, Industrial Systems and Medical Devices.

We transferred or allocated the assets and liabilities of the former Components business including the proportionate share of goodwill based on the relative fair value of the business to the new respective reporting units - Space and Defense Controls and Industrial Systems. We then compared the fair values to the carrying values of the reporting units and the resulting fair values exceeded the carrying values, so we determined that goodwill was not impaired.

~~Table of Contents~~

The fair value of each of these two reporting units exceeded the carrying amounts by over 100%. While any individual assumption could differ from those that we used, we believe the overall fair values of these reporting units are reasonable, as the values are derived from a mix of reasonable assumptions. Had we used discount rates that were 100 basis points higher or a terminal growth rate that was 100 basis points lower than those we assumed, the fair values of each of these reporting units would have continued to exceed their carrying amounts by at least 80%.

Net sales increased across all of our segments in the third quarter and in the first three quarters of 2018 compared to the third quarter and the first three quarters of 2017. Through the first three quarters of 2018, our recent acquisitions in Space and Defense Controls and Industrial Systems contributed an incremental $4 million and $22 million of sales, respectively.

Gross margin decreased in the third quarter of 2018 compared to the ~~first~~third quarter of 2017.

Gross ~~margin was unchanged~~profit in the third quarter of 2018 includes a $2 million inventory write-down associated with the restructuring expense in Industrial Systems. In addition, Aircraft Controls' gross margin declined due to pricing pressure on military OEM programs as well as lower amounts of legacy commercial sales, offset partially by incremental margins from higher commercial aftermarket sales.

Research and development expenses decreased in the third quarter and in the first ~~quarter~~three quarters of 2018 compared to the same ~~period~~periods of 2017. Within Aircraft Controls, research and development expenses decreased $4$7 million and $15 million, respectively, as we had lower activity across our major commercial ~~OEM~~development programs. The reduced spend was partially offset by increases in research and development activities across our ~~remaining~~other two segments.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased in the third quarter and in the first ~~quarter~~three quarters of 2018 compared to the ~~first quarter~~same periods of 2017. ~~Administrative expense increased $3 million~~This increase is due to ~~the timing of expenses in the prior year's quarter, and we had~~ higher planned selling expense in select growth ~~markets.~~markets, primarily in Industrial Systems, acquisition-related expenses and higher healthcare costs.

In the second quarter of 2018, we decided to phase out our participation in the wind pitch control business over the remainder of our fiscal year. Through the second and third quarters of 2018, we incurred $32 million of restructuring expense in Industrial Systems. Of the total expense, the charges consist of $10 million of non-cash inventory reserves, $12 millionof non-cash charges for the impairment of intangible assets, $2 million of non-cash charges, primarily for the impairment of long-lived assets, $6 million for severance and $2 million for other costs.

Other expense in ~~the~~ first ~~quarter~~three quarters of 2017 ~~includes $9 million of~~included losses associated with selling our ~~European space businesses.~~non-core businesses in Space and Defense Controls.

The effective tax rate in the first ~~quarter~~three quarters of 2018 was significantly impacted by the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. ~~We recorded a $31 million,~~Excluding the one-time transition tax on undistributed foreign earnings deemed to be repatriated and a tax charge of $15 million as an additional provision for withholding taxes on undistributed earnings not considered to be permanently reinvested. No additional income taxes have been provided for any remaining undistributed foreign earnings not subject to the transition tax, or any additional outside basis difference inherent in these entities, as these amounts continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. Determining the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to any remaining undistributed foreign earnings not subject to the transition tax and additional outside basis difference in these entities is not practicable. These charges are partially offset by a $12 million benefit due to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from a lower U.S. corporate tax rate, which took into account our decision to accelerate pension contributions into our 2017 pension plan year. This allows the pension contribution tax deduction to be taken in our 2017 federal income tax return which is taxed at the 35% federal rate. Excluding all of thespecial impacts due to the Act, the effective tax rate for the first ~~quarter~~three quarters of 2018 was ~~29.6%~~26.8%. The effective tax rate was also impacted by limited tax benefits associated with the restructuring charges taken in foreign jurisdictions of our Industrial Systems segment.

SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Effective October 1, 2017, we changed our segment reporting structure to three reporting segments. Our former Components segment has been separated and merged into Space and Defense Controls and Industrial Systems. All amounts have been restated to conform to the current presentation.

Operating profit, as presented below, is net sales less cost of sales and other operating expenses, excluding interest expense, equity-based compensation expense and other corporate expenses. Cost of sales and other operating expenses are directly identifiable to the respective segment or allocated on the basis of sales, manpower or profit. Operating profit is reconciled to earnings before income taxes in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this report.

Space and Defense Controls' net sales increased in both of our ~~space and our defense~~ markets in the third quarter and through the first three quarters of 2018 compared to the same periods of 2017.

In the third quarter of 2018 compared to the ~~same period~~third quarter of ~~2017. Partially offsetting the~~2017, sales ~~growth was a decline of $6 million due to lost sales associated the 2017 divestitures of non-core businesses.~~

~~Sales~~ in our defense market increased $12 million. Specifically, security sales increased $8 million due to the Electro-Optical Imaging acquisition as well as higher legacy security product sales. Also, higher orders for defense components increased sales $3 million. Additionally in the third quarter of 2018, sales within our space market increased $9 million. Specifically, higher development work on launch vehicles increased sales $7 million and new satellite avionics programs also increased sales $6 million. These sales increases were partially offset by $5 million associated with the lost sales of our 2017 divested non-core businesses.

Through the first three quarters of 2018 compared to the first three quarters of 2017, sales increased $21 million in our space market. New satellite avionic orders and higher launch vehicle work more than offset $15 million of lost sales associated with the 2017 divested operations. Through the first three quarters of 2018, sales increased $17 million in our defense market. Higher orders for defense components and security programs increased sales $21 million, partially offset by the timing of naval product sales.

2018 Outlook – We expect that all three segments will contribute to higher sales in 2018, driven primarily by industrial automation sales in Industrial Systems and military OEM sales ~~for the F-35 program~~ in Aircraft Controls. We expect 2018 operating margin will ~~increase~~decrease due to the restructuring expense in Industrial Systems. Operating margin excluding the effect of this expense will be 10.8%, as margin expansion will be driven by the absence of 2017's losses associated with divesting non-core businesses, as well as incremental margin from higher sales. ~~However, we~~We expect that the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will result in an unusually high effective tax rate of ~~42%~~48% in 2018. This will result in a ~~12%~~32% decrease in net earnings attributable to common shareholders to ~~$124~~$97 million, and diluted earnings per share will range between ~~$3.23~~$2.57 and ~~$3.63~~$2.77 with a midpoint of ~~$3.43.~~$2.67. Excluding ~~all of~~ the impacts ~~due to~~from the restructuring charge and the special impacts from the Tax Act, we expect an effective tax rate of ~~31%~~26.8%, net earnings attributable to common shareholders of ~~$148~~$160 million and diluted earnings per share will range between ~~$3.90~~$4.32 and ~~$4.30,~~$4.52, with a midpoint of ~~$4.10,~~$4.42, an increase of 5%13% compared to 2017.

2018 Outlook for Aircraft Controls – We expect 2018 sales in Aircraft Controls will increase primarily due to higher military OEM sales, driven by the continued ramp ~~ups~~up of the F-35 program and ~~the Airbus A350 program.~~by higher sales volumes on various other legacy programs. Partially offsetting the increases is an expected sales decline of legacy Boeing OEM programs. We expect 2018 operating margin will increase compared to 2017. We expect that research and development costs will decrease ~~$6 million and that we will continue to realize the benefits of cost saving activities.~~$16 million. However, we expect a negative sales mix, as sales on our mature commercial programs are replaced with sales growth on newer commercial programs.

2018 Outlook for Space and Defense Controls – We expect 2018 sales in Space and Defense Controls will increase due to sales growth from launch vehicles and satellite programs. Also, within our defense market, we expect higher security products and missile systems ~~and security sales will offset a decline in defense controls~~ sales. We expect 2018 operating margin will increase, as the prior year's losses associated with divesting non-core businesses do not repeat.

2018 Outlook for Industrial Systems – We expect 2018 sales in Industrial Systems to increase across all of our major markets, ~~lead~~led primarily by growth in our industrial automation products. We expect favorable currency adjustments and the recent acquisitions of Rotary Transfer Systems and VUES Brno s.r.o to contribute to the sales growth. We expect 2018 operating margin will ~~increase~~decrease due to the wind restructuring expenses.

Our available borrowing capacity and our cash flow from operations provide us with the financial resources needed to run our operations, reinvest in our business and make strategic acquisitions.

At ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, our cash balances were ~~$395~~$157 million, which is primarily held outside of the U.S. Cash flow from our U.S. operations, together with borrowings on our credit facility, fund on-going activities, debt service requirements and future growth investments. Due to provisions in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, we plan to continue to repatriate substantial amounts of our existing offshore cash and future earnings back to the U.S. Through the first three quarters of 2018, we have repatriated $144 million.

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased inthrough the first ~~quarter~~three quarters of 2018 compared to the same period of 2017. ~~Operationally, increases~~Cash used by pension and retirement liabilities increased $104 million due to incremental pension contributions in the second and third quarters of 2018. Also, cash provided by inventory ~~primarily~~decreased $32 million, as higher volumes on new programs in Aircraft Controls and Industrial Systems, used $29 million more in cash, and the unfavorable timing of payments across all of our segments used $21 million. These uses were principally offset by strong cash collections from accounts receivable and customer advancesdelays on shipments in Space and Defense Controls ~~and Aircraft Controls.~~resulted in more inventory.

Investing activities

Net cash used by investing activities in the first ~~quarter~~three quarters of 2018 included ~~$21~~$71 million for capital expenditures and $48 million for the acquisitions in our Industrial Systems and Space and Defense segments, while net cash used by investing activities in 2017 included ~~$15~~$45 million for capital ~~expenditures.~~expenditures and $41 million for the acquisition in Industrial Systems.

We expect our 2018 capital expenditures to be approximately $95 million, due to facilities investments supporting the increased production of the F-35 program, as well as engine propulsion testing.

Financing activities

~~Cash~~Net cash used by financing activities in the first three quarters of both 2018 and 2017 ~~both~~ include net payments on our credit facility. Also, we expect to pay approximately $18 million of cash dividends in 2018.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any material off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

Our contractual obligations and commercial commitments have not changed materially from the disclosures in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K, with the exception of tax payments required as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and accelerated pension contributions into our 2017 pension plan year. See Notes 10 and 12 of the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Item 1, Financial Statements of this report for the impact.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND RESOURCES

We maintain bank credit facilities to fund our short and long-term capital requirements, including for acquisitions. From time to time, we also sell debt and equity securities to fund acquisitions or take advantage of favorable market conditions.

Our U.S. revolving credit facility matures on June 28, 2021. The U.S. revolving credit facility has a capacity of $1.1 billion and also provides an expansion option, which permits us to request an increase of up to $200 million to the credit facility upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The U.S. revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of ~~$535~~$430 million at ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2018. The weighted-average interest rate on all of the outstanding credit facility borrowings was ~~2.89%~~3.69% and is based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which was ~~1.38%~~1.63% at ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2018. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets.

The U.S. revolving credit facility contains various covenants. The covenant for minimum interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of EBITDA to interest expense for the most recent four quarters, is 3.0. The covenant for the maximum leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of net debt, including letters of credit, to EBITDA for the most recent four quarters, is 3.5. We are in compliance with all covenants. EBITDA is defined in the loan agreement as (i) the sum of net income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, other non-cash items reducing consolidated net income and non-cash equity-based compensation expenses minus (ii) other non-cash items increasing consolidated net income.

We are generally not required to obtain the consent of lenders of the U.S. revolving credit facility before raising significant additional debt financing; however, certain limitations and conditions may apply that would require consent to be obtained. In recent years, we have demonstrated our ability to secure consents to access debt markets. We have also been successful in accessing equity markets from time to time. We believe that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing as needed.

At ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, we had ~~$529~~$638 million of unused capacity, including ~~$516~~$626 million from the U.S. revolving credit facility after considering standby letters of credit. However, our leverage ratio covenant limits our total borrowing capacity to $453 million as of June 30, 2018.

We have $300 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due December 1, 2022 with interest paid semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The senior notes are unsecured obligations, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain subsidiaries and contain normal incurrence-based covenants and limitations such as the ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make other restricted payments and investments, create liens and certain corporate acts such as mergers and consolidations.

We have a trade receivables securitization facility (the "Securitization Program"), which ~~was extended on October 23, 2017 and now~~ matures on October 23, 2019. The Securitization Program provides up to $130 million of borrowing capacity and lowers our cost to borrow funds as compared to the U.S. revolving credit facility. Under the Securitization Program, we sell certain trade receivables and related rights to an affiliate, which in turn sells an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the trade receivables to a financial institution, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. We had an outstanding balance of $130 million at ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2018. The Securitization Program has a minimum borrowing requirement, which was $104 million at ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2018. Interest on the secured borrowings under the Securitization Program was ~~2.39%~~2.92% at ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and is based on 30-day LIBOR plus an applicable margin.

Net debt to capitalization was ~~32%~~36% at ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and 33% at September 30, 2017. The ~~decrease~~increase in net debt to capitalization is ~~primarily~~principally due to ~~positive~~the use of cash ~~flow.~~for incremental pension contributions to fund our primary U.S. defined benefit pension plan.

We believe that our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available borrowings under short and long-term arrangements will continue to be sufficient to meet our operating needs.

The Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program. This program has been amended from time to time to authorize additional repurchases that includes both Class A and Class B common ~~shares,~~stock, and allows us to buy up to an aggregate 13 million common shares. Under this program, we have purchased approximately 9.7 million shares for $650 million as of ~~December~~June 30, ~~2017.~~

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND MARKET TRENDS

We operate within the aerospace and defense and industrial markets. Our aerospace and defense markets are affected by market conditions and program funding levels, while our industrial markets are influenced by general capital investment trends and economic conditions. A common factor throughout our markets is the continuing demand for technologically advanced products.

Aerospace and Defense

Approximately two-thirds of our 2017 sales were generated in aerospace and defense markets. Within aerospace and defense, we serve three end markets: defense, commercial aircraft and space.

The defense market is dependent on military spending for development and production programs. Aircraft production programs are typically long-term in nature, offering predictability as to capacity needs and future revenues. We maintain positions on numerous high priority programs, including the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, FA-18E/F Super Hornet and V-22 Osprey. The large installed base of our products leads to attractive aftermarket sales and service opportunities. The tactical and strategic missile, missile defense and defense controls markets are dependent on many of the same market conditions as military aircraft, including overall military spending and program funding levels. Our security and surveillance product line is dependent on government funding at federal and local levels, as well as private sector demand.

Reductions in the U.S. Department of Defense's mandatory and discretionary budgeted spending, which became effective on March 1, 2013, resulting from the Budget Control Act of 2011, has had ramifications for the domestic aerospace and defense market. As originally passed, the Budget Control Act provided that, in addition to an initial significant reduction in future domestic defense spending, further automatic cuts to defense spending authorization (which is generally referred to as sequestration) of approximately $500 billion through the Federal Government's 2021 fiscal year would be triggered by the failure of Congress to produce a deficit reduction bill. The sequestration spending cuts were intended to be uniform by category for programs, projects and activities within accounts. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 provided stability and modest growth in Department of Defense spending through 2017. However, future budgets beyond 2017 are uncertain with respect to the overall levels of defense spending. Currently, we expect approximately ~~$720~~$750 million of U.S. defense sales in 2018.

The commercial aircraft market is dependent on a number of factors, including global demand for air travel, which generally follows underlying economic growth. As such, the commercial aircraft market has historically exhibited cyclical swings which tend to track the overall economy. In recent years, the development of new, more fuel-efficient commercial air transports has helped drive increased demand in the commercial aircraft market, as airlines replace older, less fuel-efficient aircraft with newer models in an effort to reduce operating costs. The aftermarket is driven by usage of the existing aircraft fleet and the age of the installed fleet, and is impacted by fleet re-sizing programs for passenger and cargo aircraft. Changes in aircraft utilization rates affect the need for maintenance and spare parts impacting aftermarket sales. Boeing and Airbus have historically adjusted production in line with air traffic volume. Demand for our commercial aircraft products is in large part dependent on new aircraft production, which is increasing as Boeing and Airbus work to fulfill large backlogs of unfilled orders.

The commercial space market is comprised of large satellite customers, traditionally communications companies. Trends for this market, as well as for commercial launch vehicles, follow demand for increased capacity. This, in turn tends to track with underlying demand for increased consumption of telecommunication services, satellite replacement and global navigation needs. The space market is also partially dependent on the governmental-authorized levels of funding for satellite communications, as well as investment for commercial and exploration activities.

Industrial

Approximately one-third of our 2017 sales were generated in industrial markets. Within industrial, we serve three end markets: industrial automation, energy and medical.

The industrial automation market we serve is influenced by several factors including capital investment, product innovation, economic growth, cost-reduction efforts and technology upgrades. We experience challenges from the need to react to the demands of our customers, who are in large part sensitive to international and domestic economic conditions.

The energy market we serve is affected by changing oil and natural gas prices, global urbanization, the resulting change in supply and demand for global energy and the political climate and corresponding public support for investments in renewable energy generation capacity. Historically, drivers for global growth include investments in power generation infrastructure, including renewable energy, and exploration in search of new oil and gas resources. However, the significant decline in the price of crude oil has reduced investment in exploration activities. This reduced investment has directly affected our energy business. Currently, we expect approximately ~~$34~~$39 million of oil exploration-related sales in 2018, down from approximately $100 million in 2014.

The medical market we serve is influenced by economic conditions, regulatory environments, hospital and outpatient clinic spending on equipment, population demographics, medical advances, patient demands and the need for precision control components and systems. Advances in medical technology and medical treatments have had the effect of extending average life spans, in turn resulting in greater need for medical services. These same technology and treatment advances also drive increased demand from the general population as a means to improve quality of life. Access to medical insurance, whether through government funded health care plans or private insurance, also affects the demand for medical services.

Foreign Currencies

We are affected by the movement of foreign currencies compared to the U.S. dollar, particularly in Aircraft Controls and Industrial Systems. About one-quarter of our 2017 sales were denominated in foreign currencies. During the first ~~three~~nine months of 2018, average foreign currency rates generally strengthened against the U.S. dollar compared to 2017. The translation of the results of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars increased sales by $8$31 million compared to the same period one year ago.
