Impact of RecentChange in Accounting Pronouncements AdoptedPrinciple

OnBeginning in the first quarter of 2020, we changed our method of accounting for the determination of the market-related value of assets for a class of assets within the qualified U.S. defined benefit plan (the plan). This class of assets is currently comprised solely of the fixed income funds asset class held in the portfolio for the plan and provides a natural hedge (liability-hedging assets) against the changes in the recorded amount of net periodic pension cost. Refer to Note 13 - Employee Benefit Plans, in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, we adopted ASC 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers28, 2019, for our fair value disclosure by asset classification. Our previous method of accounting was to calculate the market-related value of assets for all the plan’s assets recognizing investment gains and losses ratably over a five-year period. We have elected to use the related amendments (ASC 606), usingfair value of our liability-hedging assets, which represent approximately 80% of the modified retrospective method,plan’s assets, to determine the market-related value of the assets beginning in the first quarter of 2020. This change in accounting principle is preferable as described above. ASC 606 was appliedthe recognition of the gains and losses on this class of assets will affect net periodic pension cost in the period in which they occur. No change is being made to contracts that were not completed asthe accounting principle for the other classes of September 29, 2018. Prior periods have not been restatedpension assets, which represent the remaining 20% of the pension asset portfolio for the plan. The gains and losses for these other plan assets will continue to be reported underamortized into earnings over a five-year period.
The change in accounting principle requires retrospective application and prospective disclosure. The tables below represent the impact of this change on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended March 28, 2020, the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets for the period ended March 28, 2020, the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended March 30, 2019 and the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets for the periods ended March 30, 2019, September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018, respectively. The change in accounting standard in effectprinciple had no impact on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for thosethese periods. Previously, we recognized revenue under ASC 605: Revenue Recognition (ASC 605).

Note 2 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers

We recognize revenue from contracts with customers using the five-step model prescribed in ASC 606. The first step is identifying the contract. The identification of a contract with a customer requires an assessment of each party’s rights and obligations regarding the products or services to be transferred, including an evaluation of termination clauses and presently enforceable rights and obligations. Each party’s rights and obligations and the associated terms and conditions are typically determined in purchase orders. For sales that are governed by master supply agreements under which provisions define specific program requirements, purchase orders are issued under these agreements to reflect presently enforceable rights and obligations for the units of products and services being purchased.

Contracts are sometimes modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. When this occurs, we assess the modification as prescribed in ASC 606 and determine whether the existing contract needs to be modified (and revenue cumulatively caught up), whether the existing contract needs to be terminated and a new contract needs to be created, or whether the existing contract remains and a new contract needs to be created. This is determined based on the rights and obligations within the modification as well as the associated transaction price.

The next step is identifying the performance obligations. A performance obligation is a promise to transfer goods or services to a customer that is distinct in the context of the contract, as defined by ASC 606. We identify a performance obligation for each promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. As part of our assessment, we consider all goods and/or services promised in the contract, regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. The products and services in our contracts are typically not distinct from one another due to their complexity and reliance on each other or, in many cases, we provide a significant integration service. Accordingly, many of our contracts are accounted for as one performance obligation. In limited cases, our contracts have more than one distinct performance obligation, which occurs when we perform activities that are not highly complex or interrelated or involve different product life cycles. Warranties are provided on certain contracts, but do not typically provide for services beyond standard assurances and are therefore not distinct performance obligations under ASC 606.

The third step is determining the transaction price, which represents the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to receive from a customer in exchange for providing the goods or services. There are times when this consideration is variable, for example a volume discount, and must be estimated. Sales, use, value-added, and excise taxes are excluded from the transaction price, where applicable.

The fourth step is allocating the transaction price. The transaction price must be allocated to the performance obligations identified in the contract based on relative stand-alone selling prices when available, or an estimate for each distinct good or service in the contract when standalone prices are not available. Our contracts with customers generally require payment under normal commercial terms after delivery. Payment terms are typically within 30 to 60 days of delivery. The timing of satisfaction of our performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment.

Table of Contents


The final step is the recognition of revenue. We recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied. ASC 606 provides guidance to help determine if we are satisfying the performance obligation at a point in time or over time. In determining when performance obligations are satisfied, we consider factors such as contract terms, payment terms and whether there is an alternative use of the product or service. In essence, we recognize revenue when or as control of the promised goods or services transfer to the customer.

Under ASC 606, revenue recognized over time using the cost-to-costan input method of accounting was 64%that uses costs incurred to date to measure progress toward completion ("cost-to-cost") for the three and ninesix months ended June 29, 2019.March 28, 2020 was 65% and 64%, respectively. The over time method of revenue recognition is predominantly used in Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls. We use this method for U.S. Government contracts and repair and overhaul arrangements as we are creating or enhancing assets that the customer controls as the assets are being created or enhanced. In addition, many of our large commercial contracts qualify for over timeover-time accounting as our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Our over timeover-time contracts are primarily firm fixed price.

Revenue is recognized on contracts using the cost-to-cost method of accounting as work progresses toward completion as determined by the ratio of cumulative costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs at completion, multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative revenue recognized in prior periods. We believe that cumulative costs incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total contract costs at completion is an appropriate measure of progress toward satisfaction of performance obligations as this measure most accurately depicts the progress of our work and transfer of control to our customers. Changes in estimates affecting sales, costs and profits are recognized in the period in which the change becomes known using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting, resulting in the cumulative effect of changes reflected in the period. Estimates are reviewed and updated quarterly for substantially all contracts. For thethree and six months ended March 28, 2020 we recognized lower revenues of $4,941 and higher revenues of $9,678, respectively for adjustments made to performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods. For the three and ninesix months ended June 29,March 30, 2019 we recognized lower revenues of $1,321 and higher revenue of $10,438, respectively $3,898 and $14,336, respectively, for adjustments made to performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods.

Contract costs include only allocable, allowable and reasonable costs which are included in cost of sales when incurred. For applicable U.S. Government contracts, contract costs are determined in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations and the related Cost Accounting Standards. The nature of these costs includes development engineering costs and product manufacturing costs such as direct material, direct labor, other direct costs and indirect overhead costs. Contract profit is recorded as a result of the revenue recognized less costs incurred in any reporting period. Variable consideration and contract modifications, such as performance incentives, penalties, contract claims or change orders are considered in estimating revenues, costs and profits when they can be reliably estimated and realization is considered probable. Revenue recognized on contracts for unresolved claims or unapproved contract change orders was not material for the three and ninesix months ended June 29, 2019.

March 28, 2020.

As of June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, we had contract loss and contract-related reserves of $57,556.$65,409. For contracts with anticipated losses at completion, a provision for the entire amount of the estimated remaining loss is charged against income in the period in which the loss becomes known. Contract losses are determined considering all direct and indirect contract costs, exclusive of any selling, general or administrative cost allocations that are treated as period expenses. Loss reserves are more common on firm fixed-price contracts that involve, to varying degrees, the design and development of new and unique controls or control systems to meet the customers’ specifications. In accordance with ASC 606, we calculate contract losses at the contract level, versus the performance obligation level. Recall reserves are recorded when additional work is needed on completed products for them to meet contract specifications. Contract-related loss reserves are recorded for the additional work needed on completed and delivered products in order for them to meet contract specifications. In accordance with ASC 606, we calculate contract losses at the contract level, versus the performance obligation level.

Revenue recognized at the point in time control was transferred to the customer was 35% and 36%, respectively for the three and ninesix months ended June 29, 2019.March 28, 2020. This method of revenue recognition is used most frequently in Industrial Systems. We use this method for commercial contracts in which the asset being created has an alternative use. We determine the point in time control transfers to the customer by weighing the five indicators provided by ASC 606 - the entity has a present right to payment; the customer has legal title; the customer has physical possession; the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership; and the customer has accepted the asset. When control has transferred to the customer, profit is generated as cost of sales is recorded and as revenue is recognized. Inventory costs include all product manufacturing costs such as direct material, direct labor, other direct costs and indirect overhead cost allocations. Shipping and handling costs are considered costs to fulfill a contract and not considered performance obligations. They are included in cost of sales as incurred.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Unbilled receivables (contract assets) primarily represent revenues recognized for performance obligations that have been satisfied but for which amounts have not been billed. These are included as Receivables on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Contract advances (contract liabilities) relate to payments received from customers in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations for a contract. We do not consider contract advances to be significant financing components as the intent of these payments in advance are for reasons other than providing a significant financing benefit and are customary in our industry.
Total contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows:
 June 29,
2019
 September 30, 2018 March 28,
2020
 September 28, 2019
Unbilled receivables $444,762
 $405,610
 $510,760
 $468,824
Contract advances 147,677
 152,608
 182,822
 137,242
Net contract assets $297,085
 $253,002
 $327,938
 $331,582


The increase in contract assets reflects the net impact of additional unbilled revenues recorded in excess of revenue recognized during the period. The decreaseincrease in contract liabilities reflects the net impact of revenue recognizedadditional deferred revenues recorded in excess of additional deferred revenues recordedrevenue recognized during the period. For the three and ninesix months ended June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, we recognized $17,446$25,780 and $111,032$61,540 of revenue, respectively, that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.
Remaining Performance Obligations
As of June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied), also known as backlog, was approximately $2,150,000.$2,603,000. We expect to recognize approximately 74%69% of that amount as sales over the next twelve months and the balance thereafter.

Note 7 - Leases

On September 29, 2019, we adopted ASC 842: Leases, and the related amendments (ASC 842), using the modified retrospective method, as described in Note 1, Basis of Presentation, without adjusting prior comparative periods.

We lease certain manufacturing facilities, office space and machinery and equipment globally. At inception we evaluate whether a contractual arrangement contains a lease. Specifically, we consider whether we control the underlying asset and have the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits or outputs from the asset. If the contractual arrangement contains a lease, we then determine the classification of the lease, operating or finance, using the classification criteria described in ASC 842. We then determine the term of the lease based on terms and conditions of the contractual arrangement, including whether the options to extend or terminate the lease are reasonably certain to be exercised. We have elected to not separate lease components from non-lease components, such as common area maintenance charges and instead, account for the lease and non-lease components as a single component.

Our lease ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and our lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. Operating lease ROU assets are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Finance lease ROU assets are included in Property, plant and equipment and finance lease liabilities are included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Operating lease cost is included in Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Finance lease cost is included in Cost of sales, Selling, general and administrative and Interest on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.

The ROU assets and lease liabilities for both operating and finance leases are recognized as of the commencement date at the net present value of the fixed minimum lease payments over the term of the lease, using the discount rate described below. Variable lease payments are recorded in the period in which the obligation for the payment is incurred. Variable lease payments based on an index or rate are initially measured using the index or rate as of the commencement date of the lease and included in the fixed minimum lease payments. For short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less as of the commencement date, we do not recognize a ROU asset or lease liability on our balance sheet; we recognize expense as the lease payments are made over the lease term.

The discount rate used to calculate the present value of our leases is the rate implicit in lease. If the information necessary to determine the rate implicit in the lease is not available, we use our incremental borrowing rate for collateralized debt, which is determined using our credit rating and other information available as of the lease commencement date.

OurOn October 15, 2019, we amended and restated our U.S. revolving credit facility, which matures on June 28, 2021.October 15, 2024. 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$400,000 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. We are in compliance with all covenants.
The SECT has a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $35,000, maturing on July 26, 2020.2022. Interest is based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin. A commitment fee is also charged based on a percentage of the unused amounts available and is not material.
At June 29,On December 13, 2019, we had $300,000completed the sale of $500,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.25%4.25% senior notes due December 1, 202215, 2027 with interest paid semiannually on June 115 and December 115 of each year.year, which will commence on June 15, 2020. 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 aggregate net proceeds of $491,769 were used to repay indebtedness under our U.S. revolving credit facility, thereby increasing the unused portion of our U.S. revolving credit facility.

On December 13, 2019, we issued a notice of redemption to the holders of our 5.25% senior notes due on December 1, 2022, to redeem and retire all of the outstanding notes. The notes were redeemed on January 13, 2020 at 101.313% pursuant to an early redemption right. We redeemed the aggregate principal amount of $300,000 using proceeds drawn from our U.S. revolving credit facility. The associated loss on the redemption includes $3,939 of call premium paid to external bondholders.
The Securitization Program was extended on October 16, 2019 and matures on October 29, 2021 and effectively increasingincreases our borrowing capacity by up to $130,000, was extended on October 30, 2018 and now matures on October 30, 2020.$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 June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, our minimum borrowing requirement was $104,000.

Note 911 - 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 June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, we had interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $105,000.$30,000. The interest rate swaps effectively convert this amount of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt at 2.99%3.20%, including the applicable margin of 1.63%1.50% as of June 29, 2019.March 28, 2020. 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, the British pound and the Czech koruna, we had outstanding foreign currency forwards with notional amounts of $62,126$60,195 at June 29, 2019.March 28, 2020. These contracts mature at various times through FebruaryNovember 26, 2021.
We use forward currency contracts to hedge our net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. As of June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, we had no0 outstanding net investment hedges.
These interest rate swaps, 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 ninesix months of 20192020 or 2018.2019.

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 $137,634$77,687 at June 29, 2019.March 28, 2020. 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 1012 - 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.

Our only financial instrument for which the carrying value differs from its fair value is long-term debt. At June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, the fair value of long-term debt was $831,381$1,047,841 compared to its carrying value of $826,693.$1,103,439. 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 1315 - Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three and ninesix months ended June 29, 2019March 28, 2020 were 23.1%19.2% and 23.7%22.3%, respectively. The effective tax rate for this periodthe three months ended March 28, 2020 is lower than expected due to the reduction in tax rate associated with taxes accrued on accumulated earnings in one of our foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, legal entity restructuring resulted in reduced withholding taxes previously accrued in another foreign jurisdiction. The effective tax rate for the six months ended March 28, 2020 is higher than expected due to tax on earnings generated outside the U.S.
The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended March 30, 2019 were 23.8% and 24.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate for all periods is higher than would be expected by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% to earnings before income taxes primarily due to tax on earnings generated outside of the U.S.
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 were 25.8% and 56.4%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 was significantly impacted by the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") of 2017.
The Act was enacted on December 22, 2017. It reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, required companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred and created new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings. In 2018, we recorded provisional amounts by applying the guidance in SAB 118, as we had not yet completed the accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Act. For the year ended September 29, 2018, we recorded tax expense related to the Act of $30,795 for the one-time transition tax on undistributed foreign earnings deemed to be repatriated and a tax charge of $10,383 as an additional provision for taxes on undistributed earnings not considered to be permanently reinvested. These charges were partially offset by a $10,946 benefit due to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from the lower U.S. corporate tax rate. 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.
Upon filing our fiscal 2018 federal consolidated tax return, we finalized our calculations of the transition tax liability with minor adjustments.
Some of the provisions of the Act became effective for us in 2019. One of these provisions was a Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) provision that imposes U.S. tax on certain foreign subsidiary income in the year it is earned. Our accounting policy is to treat tax on the GILTI as a current period cost included in income tax expense in the year incurred.

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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2018.28, 2019. All references to years in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are to fiscal years and amounts may differ from reported values due to rounding.
OVERVIEW
We are a worldwide designer, manufacturer and systems integrator of high performance precision motion and fluid controls and control systems for a broad range of applications in aerospace and defense and industrial markets.
Within the aerospace and defense market, our products and systems include:
Defense market - primary and secondary flight controls for military aircraft, stabilization and automatic ammunition loading controls for armored combat vehicles, tactical and strategic missile steering controls and gun aiming controls.
Commercial aircraft market - primary and secondary flight controls for commercial aircraft.
Commercial space market - satellite positioning controls and thrust vector controls for space launch vehicles.
In the industrial market, our products are used in a wide range of applications including:
Industrial automation market - injection molding, metal forming, heavy industry, material and automotive testing and pilot training simulators.
Medical market - enteral clinical nutrition and infusion therapy pumps, ultrasonic sensors and surgical handpieces and CT scanners.
Energy market - power generation and oil and gas exploration.
We operate under three segments, Aircraft Controls, Space and Defense Controls and Industrial Systems. Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, Philippines, United Kingdom, Germany, Czech Republic, Italy, Costa Rica, China, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Japan, Canada, India and Lithuania.
Under ASC 606, 64%65% of revenue was recognized over time for the quarter ended June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, using the cost-to-cost method of accounting. The over time method of revenue recognition is predominantly used in Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls. We use this method for U.S. Government contracts and repair and overhaul arrangements as we are creating or enhancing assets that the customer controls. In addition, many of our large commercial contracts qualify for over time accounting as our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

For the quarter ended June 29, 2019, 36%March 28, 2020, 35% of revenue was recognized at the point in time control transferred to the customer. This method of revenue recognition is used most frequently in Industrial Systems. We use this method for commercial contracts in which the asset being created has an alternative use. We determine the point in time control transfers to the customer by weighing the five indicators provided by ASC 606. When control has transferred to the customer, profit is generated as cost of sales is recorded and as revenue is recognized.
We concentrate on providing our customers with products designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards. Our technical experts work collaboratively around the world, delivering capabilities for mission-critical solutions. These core operational principles are necessary as our products are applied in demanding applications, "When Performance Really Matters®." By capitalizing on these core foundational strengths, we believe we have achieved a leadership position in the high performance, precision controls market. Additionally, these strengths yield a broad control product portfolio, across a diverse base of customers and end markets.
By focusing on customer intimacy and commitment to solving their most demanding technical problems, we have been able to expand our control product franchise from one market to another,multiple markets; organically growing from a high-performance components manufacturer to a high-performance systems designer, manufacturer and systems integrator. In addition, we continue expanding our content positions on our current platforms, seeking to be the dominant supplier in the niche markets we serve. We also look for innovation in all aspects of our business, employing new technologies to improve productivity and operational performance.

Additionally,Historically, we takehave taken a balanced approach to capital deployment in order to maximize shareholder returns over the long-term. Our activities may includehave included strategic acquisitions, further share buybacks and dividend payments. In the current COVID-19 environment, we have shifted our capital deployment strategies from a long-term perspective that balances growth and capital returns with one that focuses on liquidity and leverage in the near-term. We are committed to ensuring that we have adequate liquidity during this crisis, protecting the long-term health of the Company and emerging financially strong and ready to capitalize on opportunities once this situation passes.
Acquisitions, Divestitures and Equity Method Investments
All of our acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method and, accordingly, the operating results for the acquired companies are included in the consolidated condensed statements of earnings from the respective dates of acquisition. Under purchase accounting, we record assets and liabilities at fair value and such amounts are reflected in the respective captions on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. The purchase price described for each acquisition below is net of any cash acquired, includes debt issued or assumed and the fair value of contingent consideration.
On November 28, 2019, we acquired Gesellschaft für Antriebstechnik mbH and GAT Inc. (GAT), headquartered in Geisenheim, Germany for a purchase price of $54 million, net of acquired cash. GAT designs and manufactures high-end fluid rotating unions and slip rings. This operation is included in our Industrial Systems segment. The purchase price allocation is subject to adjustments as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the measurement period.
In the first quarter of 2020, we sold a non-core business in our Industrial Systems segment for $2 million in net consideration and recorded a minimal gain in other income.
In the first quarter of 2019, we sold a non-core business ofin our IndustrialsIndustrial Systems segment for $4 million in cash and recorded a gain in other income of $3 million.
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 ("Vues") located in the Czech Republic, which included a 74% ownership interest in a subsidiary located in Germany, for $64 million. VUES designs and manufactures electric motors and generators, and provides customized solutions. On September 6, 2018, we acquired the remaining 26% noncontrolling interest for $2 million in cash. 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. As of June 29, 2019, we have made total contributions of $5 million to MASA. This operation is included in our Aircraft Controls segment.
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 loss and contract-related reserves, reserves for inventory valuation, reviews for impairment of goodwill, reviews for impairment of long-lived assets, pension assumptions and income taxes. See Note 1 of the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Item 1, Financial Statements of this report for the impact of the adoption of ASC 606.

Other than the adoption of ASC 606, there have been no material changes in critical accounting policies in the current year from those disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

COVID-19 IMPACTS ON OUR BUSINESS
The spread of the COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted businesses on a global scale. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization classified the outbreak as a pandemic. As we entered this crisis, the Company established two clear priorities: first and foremost the health and safety of our employees and their families, and second, continuing to meet the needs of our customers and secure the financial well-being of the Company. Substantially all of our operations and production activities have, to-date, been operational. Many are considered essential and are exempt from closure directives. However, such directives could change at any time. We have implemented changes in our work practices maintaining a safe working environment for production employees at our facilities, while enabling other employees to productively work from home.
Recognizing the unprecedented nature, scope and uncertainty associated with this global health crisis, the duration and extent of the ongoing impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. We have suspended our practice of providing an outlook for fiscal 2020. Our businesses are facing varying levels of pressure depending on the markets they serve. Specifically, we believe defense and space businesses may only face modest pressures associated with supply chain risks and productivity levels as government funding remains stable. Also, demand for our medical applications may increase in response to this pandemic. Together, these businesses represent over half of our sales. However, we believe our industrial business may see supply chain, productivity and demand challenges from the macroeconomic slowdown, while our commercial aircraft business will be impacted the most with dramatic reductions in air travel. This suggests sales across the second half of 2020 could decline between 10% and 20% as compared to the first half of 2020. Additionally, given the time required to align our business with the expected lower demand, we could experience a marginal loss on the reduced sales in a range between 30% and 40% in the second half of 2020.
In response to this situation, we have implemented short term actions to maintain the financial health and liquidity of the Company including:
temporarily suspending dividend payments,
temporarily suspending share buyback activities,
minimizing capital spend,
reducing discretionary spending,
implementing hiring and salary freezes,
aligning company resources and incoming inventory to be in line with expected customer demand,
optimizing the timing of cash flow and
implementing vendor financing programs.

We will continue to monitor the situation, assessing further possible implications on our operations, supply chain, liquidity, cash flow and customer orders, and will take action in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences. We believe that our existing financial arrangements, along with the actions we are taking to mitigate the business pressures we are facing will be sufficient to meet our operating needs over the short-term. We have available borrowings under short and long-term arrangements that could provide relief should the situation become more stressed.

Gross margin declined in the first half of 2020 compared to the first half of 2019. Gross profit in the second quarter of 2019 included a $10 million charge associated with a supplier quality issue within Aircraft Controls. Excluding this charge, gross profit in the first half of 2020 would have declined further as compared to the first half of 2019. In the first half of 2020, gross margin declined in Industrial Systems. However, this was offsetSystems, driven by lower gross marginsa less favorable sales mix; and in Aircraft Controls due to higher operating costs.
Also, gross margin in the first three quarters of 2019 was similar to gross margin in the first three quarters of 2018. Gross margin declined in Aircraft Controls due to the same factors as in the third quarter of 2019,costs and due to a $10 million charge related tocharges on a supplier quality issue in the second quarter of 2019. Mostly offsetting the decline was increased gross margin in Industrial Systems, due partly to the absence of the low-margin wind pitch controls business.development program.

Other comprehensive income in the third quarter of 2019 includes $1 million of foreign currency translation loss, whereas other comprehensive income in the third quarter of 2018 includes $41 million of foreign currency translation loss. The change in foreign currency translation was primarily attributable to the appreciation of the Euro and the British Pound relative to the U.S. Dollar.
The twelve-month backlog at June 29, 2019March 28, 2020 compared to JuneMarch 30, 2018 increased2019 was driven by increases in both our aerospace and defense business.business and in our industrial businesses. Within Aircraft Controls, backlog increased due to the timing of orders of the F-35 program, additional military development program orders, as well as higher military aftermarket orders. Partially offsetting these aircraft increases are lower orders for legacy Boeing and 787 programs. Within Space and Defense Controls, backlog increased supporting the expected incremental sales for launch vehicles defense components and missiles. Also within Aircraft Controls, backlog increased due to the timing of orders for military fighter aircraft.satellites. The twelve-month backlog for our industrial business decreased as we had lower orders for industrial componentsincreased in additionIndustrial Systems due to lost energy orders related to the decision to exit the wind pitch controls business. Partly offsetting the lower orders was higher orders for our medical products.
Other comprehensive loss in the second quarter of 2020 includes $23 million of foreign currency translation loss, whereas other comprehensive income in 2019 includes $1 million of foreign currency translation gain. The change in foreign currency translation in the second quarter 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019 was primarily attributable to the depreciation of the British Pound relative to the U.S. Dollar.

The increase in Aircraft Controls' net sales in the thirdsecond quarter of 2019 and in the first three quartershalf of 2020 compared to the second quarter and the first half of 2019 was driven by increases in commercial OEM,our military OEM and military aftermarket programs compared to the same periods of 2018.
In the third quarter of 2019,programs. Additionally, commercial OEM sales increased $21 millionslightly in the first half of 2020 compared to the thirdfirst half of 2019.
In the second quarter of 2018. Sales to Airbus increased $11 million and sales to Boeing increased $7 million, driven by higher volumes related2020 compared to the A350 and 787 programs, respectively. Additionally in commercial OEM, sales for business jets increased $5 million, driven by rate increases on Gulfstream programs. Partially offsetting the commercial OEM sales increase was a $3 million decline in commercial aftermarket sales, driven by lower initial provisioning sales for the Airbus A350 program. In military aircraft in the thirdsecond quarter of 2019, military OEM sales increased $11$13 million and military aftermarket sales increased $8 million. Within military OEM, higher volumes due primarily to the timingramp up of foreignthe F-35 program increased sales $8 million. Additionally, military sales.OEM sales increased $5 million on the Black Hawk helicopter and KC-46 programs. Also, military aftermarket sales increased $7 million, driven by higher V-22 andfor F-35 spares sales.and for the F-15 program increased sales $4 million and $1 million, respectively. Within commercial OEM, sales were unchanged as higher activity on the Boeing 787 program was offset by lower orders for the Boeing 737 Max and Airbus A350 programs.
In the first three quartershalf of 20192020 compared to the first three quarters of 2018, commercial OEM sales increased $37 million. Similar to the third quarter of 2019, higher sales to Boeing and Airbus increased sales $14 million and $10 million, respectively, as higher volumes of the new programs offset declines in legacy programs. Also sales for business jets increased $13 million. Partially offsetting the commercial OEM sales increase was a $6 million decline in commercial aftermarket sales, driven mostly by the timing for initial provisioning orders for the Airbus A350 program. In military aircraft in the first three quartershalf of 2019, military OEM sales increased $22 million. Higher production rates increased sales $15$32 million for the F-35 program, while sales for foreign military programs increased $10 million. Alsoand military aftermarket sales increased $18$16 million. Within military OEM, sales increased $11 million dueon foreign military programs, $6 million on the F-35 program, $5 million on funded development programs, in addition to increases on helicopters and KC-46 programs. The sales increase in military aftermarket was mostly driven by higher spares sales on the F-35 program. Within commercial OEM, sales for Boeing programs increased $9 million as higher activity on the Boeing 787 was partially offset by lower sales for the Boeing 737 Max.
Operating margin increased in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same impacts as in the quarter.
The decline in operating margin in the thirdsecond quarter of 2019 compareddue mostly to the third quarterabsence of 2018 is primarily related to higher operating costs. We had higher internal and external costs as production volumes have increased in both commercial and military programs. These higher costs offset incremental margin from higher amounts of foreign military sales.
Additionally, operating margin in the first three quarters of 2019 included alast year's $10 million charge related to a supplier quality issue. Partially offsetting theseExcluding this charge, operating margin decreased in the second quarter of 2020, as we recorded a $4 million charge on a development program. After excluding last year's supplier quality charge in the first half of 2019, operating margin in the first half of 2020 also decreased. The same factors in the second quarter as well as higher expenses was $6operating costs offset the incremental margin from higher foreign military sales and $7 million of lower research and development expenses across our major programs in the first three quarters of 2019 compared to the first three quarters of 2018, as well as higher amounts of foreign military sales.

Sales for missile applicationslaunch vehicle programs increased $11$15 million due to higher amounts of development work and higher NASA activity. Sales also increased $4 million for satellite controls, due mostly to higher satellite engine and space avionics activity. Within our defense market, sales increased $8 million. Increased sales across our defense controls, naval and missile programs offset a $6 million sales decrease for our security programs as planned shipments were delayed.
In the first half of 2020 compared to the first half of 2019, sales in our space market increased $33 million. Sales increased $23 million and $7 million for launch vehicles and satellite controls, respectively, due to the same factors in the second quarter. Within our defense market, sales increased $26 million. Sales for defense controls applications across our components and foreign programs increased $10 million. In addition, higher volumes foron both legacy and funded development programs. Also defense controlsmissile applications increased sales $9 million. Additionally, sales increased $7$6 million driven in part by higheracross a variety of our defense components programs and sales increased $5 million for our new turret system and by the increased volumenaval applications. These increases offset an $8 million sales decline for slip ring components. Additionally, we had $7 million of higher defense component sales; however, that was offset by $7 million of lower security sales due to timing delays. In the third quarter of 2019, sales increased in our space market $1 million compared to the third quarter of 2018. Sales for launch vehicles increased $5 million due to the higher level of work across a variety of platforms. However, this increase was mostly offset by lower space avionics sales due to contract delays.
In the first three quarters of 2019 compared to the first three quarters of 2018, sales in our defense market increased $70 million across all of our major programs, driven by the same factors infactor as the third quarter of 2019. Sales increased $26 million in missile applications, $17 million in defense controls, $14 million for components and $9 million for naval systems. These defense market increases were slightly offset by lower space sales through the first three quarters of 2019.second quarter.
Operating margin increased in the third quarterfirst half of 2020 compared to first half of 2019 compared to the third quarter 2018, due primarily to higher sales volumes as well as improvedfor our defense and our components products. Also, the sales mix acrossgrowth contributed to incremental margins beyond our products. Slightly offsetting the increase was $3 million of combined higher selling and research and development expenses in pursuit of new space and defense opportunities. Operating margin increased in the first three quarters of 2019 compared to the first three quarters of 2018 due to higher sales volume.administrative expenses.

These increases offset sales declines in our industrial automation and simulation and test markets, driven by the same factors as in the third quarter of 2019. Mostly offsetting the decline was a sales increase of $20 million in our industrial automation market, due primarily to the acquisition of Vues Brno s.r.o. Sales also increased $8 million in our medical market due to higher enteral pump and sets sales.second quarter.
Operating margin increased in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018, driven by the absence of the low-margin wind pitch controls business. This benefit was partially offset by $2 million of higher research and development expenses, primarily related to activity with medical devices products, and by higher selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales.
Operating margin increased in the first three quarters of 2019 compared to the same periods of 2018, due to the absence of the restructuring expense related to the decision to exit the wind pitch controls business. Excluding the effect of this expense in 2018, operating margin also increased in the first three quarters of 2019, driven by the lack of the low-margin wind pitch controls business. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2019, a $3 million gain on the sale of a small non-core business increased operating margin. Partly offsetting the increase was higher selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales.

2019 Outlook – We expect higher amounts of defense sales within both Space and Defense Controls and Aircraft Controls to drive the increased 2019 sales. We also expect commercial aircraft sales growth driven by the major OEM program ramp-ups. We expect the 2019 operating margin will increase due to the absence of the 2018 charges associated with exiting the wind pitch controls business, as well as incremental margin from higher sales. Net earnings in 2019 will benefit due to a more normal effective tax rate, whereas the effective tax rate in 2018 was affected by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Excluding the impacts from both the wind charge and the one-time special impacts from the Tax Act in 2018, we expect net earnings to increase 8% to $178 million from an adjusted net earnings in 2018 of $165 million. We expect diluted earnings per share will range between $4.95 and $5.15, with a midpoint of $5.05.
2019 Outlook for Aircraft Controls We expect 2019 sales in Aircraft Controls will increase primarily due to the continued ramp ups of the Airbus A350, the Boeing 787 and the F-35 programs. Partially offsetting the increases is an expected sales decline of commercial aftermarket programs, driven mostly by the timing for initial provisioning orders. We expect 2019 operating margin will decrease compared to 2018 due to higher operating costs as well as the supplier quality chargedecreased in the second quarter and in the first half of 2019.
2019 Outlook for Space2020 compared to the second quarter and Defense Controls – We expectthe first half of 2019 sales in Space and Defense Controls will increase due to higherunfavorable sales volumesmix on missile programs, and due to higher sales volumes on existing and new product offerings for defense controls programs. We expect 2019 operating margin will increase due to incremental margin from the higher sales volume.
2019 Outlook for Industrial Systems – We expect 2019 sales in Industrial Systems will decrease compared with 2018 sales. We expect lower sales involume, first year accounting impacts from our energy market, driven mostly by the lost sales associated with the 2018 decision to exit the wind pitch controls business. Partly offsetting the decline is an increase due to theGAT acquisition of Vues. We expect 2019 operating margin will increase due toand the absence of 2018's chargeslast year's gain associated with exiting the wind pitch controlsselling a non-core business. Excluding the impact of these charges, 2019 operating margin will increase from an adjusted 2018 operating margin of 10.9%, driven by the absence of the low-margin wind pitch controls business.

Our available borrowing capacity and our cash flow from operations providehave provided us with the financial resources needed to run our operations, reinvest in our business and make strategic acquisitions.
At June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, our cash balances were $89$119 million, which was 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.
Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increaseddecreased in the first three quartershalf of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. In 2019, pension contributions decreased $151 million. This was partially offset by higher inventory levels, primarily in Aircraft Controls and Industrial Systems, which used $41 million more cash in the first three quarters of 20192020 compared to the first three quartershalf of 2018. Additionally, higher accounts receivable balances2019. In the first half of 2020, receivables activity used $15$27 million more cash, driven primarily by customer activity within our Aircraft Controls segment and by the timing of tax payments. Also, accounts payable used $25 million more cash, due to the timing of vendor receipts. Partially offsetting the uses of cash was cash provided by customer advances, which increased $29 million, driven by growth in Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls.
Investing activities
Net cash used by investing activities in the first three quartershalf of 20182020 included $48$54 million for theour acquisition in our Industrial Systems segment. of GAT and $53 million for capital expenditures.
Net cash used by investing activities in the first three quarters ofhalf 2019 included $20$60 million for capital expenditures.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities in the first half of 2020 included the net proceeds of issuing our $500 million aggregate principal 4.25% senior notes, which were used to repay a portion of our outstanding borrowings. Additionally, financing activities in the first half of 2020 included $179 million to fund our stock repurchase program, and $17 million of higher capital expenditures than the first three quarters of 2018.
We expect our 2019 capital expenditures to be approximately $120 million, due to facilities investments supporting the increased production of the F-35 program as well as engine propulsion testing, and due to investments in machinery and equipment.
Financing activitiescash dividends.
Net cash used by financing activities in first three quartershalf of 2019 included $38 million of net payments on our credit facilities, whereas net cash used by financing activities in the first three quarters of 2018 included $119 million of payments on our credit facilities.

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.
OurOn October 15, 2019, we amended and restated our U.S. revolving credit facility, which matures on June 28, 2021. TheOctober 15, 2024. Our 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$400 million to the credit facility upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The U.S. revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of $392$464 million at June 29, 2019.March 28, 2020. The weighted-average interest rate on primarily all of the outstanding credit facility borrowings was 4.04%2.52% and is principally based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which was 1.63%1.50% at June 29, 2019.March 28, 2020. 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 3.5.4.0. 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.
The SECT has a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $35 million, maturing on July 26, 2020.2022. Interest was 4.56%3.11% as of June 29, 2019March 28, 2020 and is based on LIBOR plus a margin of 2.13%. As of June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, there was $4$9 million of outstanding borrowings.
We have $300On December 13, 2019, we completed the sale of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25%4.25% senior notes due December 1, 202215, 2027 with interest paid semiannually on June 115 and December 115 of each year.year, which will commence on June 15, 2020. 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 aggregate net proceeds of $492 million were used to repay indebtedness under our U.S. bank facility, thereby increasing the unused portion of our U.S. revolving credit facility.
On December 13, 2019, we issued a notice of redemption to the holders of our 5.25% senior notes due on December 1, 2022, to redeem and retire all of the outstanding notes. The notes were redeemed on January 13, 2020 at 101.313%, pursuant to an early redemption right. We redeemed the aggregate principal amount of $300 million using proceeds drawn from our U.S. revolving credit facility. The associated loss on the redemption includes $4 million of call premium paid to external bondholders. We had a total outstanding balance on our senior notes of $500 million at March 28, 2020.
We have a trade receivables securitization facility (the "Securitization Program"), which was extended on October 16, 2019 and matures on October 30, 2020.29, 2021. 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 June 29, 2019.March 28, 2020. The Securitization Program has a minimum borrowing requirement, which was $104 million at June 29, 2019.March 28, 2020. Interest on the secured borrowings under the Securitization Program was 3.22%1.86% at June 29, 2019March 28, 2020 and is based on 30-day LIBOR plus an applicable margin.
At June 29, 2019, we had $717 million of unused borrowing capacity, including $674 million from the U.S. revolving credit facility after considering standby letters of credit. However,March 28, 2020, our leverage ratio covenant limits our totalunused borrowing capacity to $507$536 million as of June 29, 2019.March 28, 2020.
Net debt to capitalization was 35%44% at June 29, 2019March 28, 2020 and 38%36% at September 29, 2018.28, 2019. The decreaseincrease in net debt to capitalization is primarily due to our net earnings.share repurchases.
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.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND MARKET TRENDS
We operate within the aerospace and defense and industrial markets. Our businesses are facing varying levels of pressure from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Within our aerospace and defense markets, our defense and space businesses represent approximately half of our sales through the first half of 2020. We expect these businesses may face modest supply chain and production level risks, as they are more directly affected by market conditions and program funding levels whilewhich, to-date, are stable. However, our commercial aircraft market, which represents less than 25% of our first half 2020 sales, will face the greatest pressures with the dramatic reductions in air travel.
Within our industrial markets, are influenced by generalour industrial automation, simulation and test and energy niche markets, which represents less than 25% of our sales through the first half of 2020, may face supply chain, productivity and demand challenges from the macroeconomic slowdown and reduced capital investment trends and economic conditions. investments. However, our medical business, which represents less than 10% of our sales in the first half of 2020, has seen increased demand for our medical applications essential in the fight against the pandemic.
A common factor throughout our markets is the continuing demand for technologically advanced products.
Aerospace and Defense
Approximately two-thirds of our 2018 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.programs, which to-date, have not been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have a growing development program order book for future generation aircraft and hypersonic missiles. We hope to embed our technologies within these high-performance military programs of the future. 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 leadsled 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. At times when there are perceived threats to national security, U.S. Defense spending can increase; at other times, defense spending can decrease. Future levels of defense spending are uncertain, subject to congressional debate and could be reduced if the pandemic is extended. Our security and surveillance product line is dependent on government funding at federal and local levels, as well as private sector demand.
The 2011 Budget Control Act reduceddemand, which may face pressures as governments shift their funding to support the Department of Defense spending (or sequestration) by approximately $500 billion. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 provided stability and modest growth in the Department of Defense spending through 2017. After operating under continuing resolutions, which restrict new program starts, the U.S. Government signed the 2019 defense appropriations budget in September 2018, with moderate growth in defense spending. However, future budgeted levels of defense spending beyond 2019 are uncertain and subject to debate. Currently, we expect approximately $875 million of U.S. defense sales in 2019.COVID-19 pandemic.
The commercial aircraft market is dependenthas depended on a number of factors, including the last decade's increasing global demand for air travel and increasing fuel prices. Both factors contributed to the demand for new, more fuel-efficient aircraft with lower operating costs that lead to large production backlogs for Boeing and Airbus. However, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has drastically reduced air traffic as travel restrictions and social distancing measures were implemented to help control the spread of the virus. The reduced air traffic has applied financial pressures on airlines, which generally follows underlying economic growth. As such,have in turn dramatically reduced flight hours and delayed the purchases of new aircraft in order to preserve cash and liquidity. Given the uncertain length of this pandemic, the commercial market may shift away from wide-body aircraft market has historically exhibited cyclical swings which tend to tracklonger range narrow-body aircraft. Additionally, given the overall economy. In recent years,abruptly stalled global economies and social pauses, global oil production is now over-supplied, creating drastic reductions in the developmentprices of oil. The lower prices for jet fuel mitigates the advantage of new, more fuel-efficient commercialaircraft that created record backlogs for the OEMs. Furthermore, as companies and employees become accustomed to working remotely, business travel and the associated flight hours may not reach the pre-crisis levels. As such, we believe Boeing and Airbus will directionally match their production rates with the reduced air transports has helped drive increasedtraffic volume, which will lower their demand infor our flight control systems. We believe the commercial aircraftOEM market as airlines replace older, less fuel-efficient aircraft with newer models in an effort to reduce operating costs. will face these pressures for a prolonged period of time.
The commercial aftermarket is driven by usage and age 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 affectwhich drives the need for maintenance and repairs. Given the dramatic reductions in flight hours and the cash preservation measures by the airlines due to the impacts of COVID-19, we believe the demand volume for our maintenance services and spare parts impacting aftermarket sales. Boeing and Airbus have historically adjusted production in linewill decrease substantially over the short-term. Also, with air traffic volume. Demand for our commercial aircraft products is in large part dependent onfewer expected new aircraft production, whichdeliveries, we would see lower initial provisioning and spares sales. However, as domestic and international travel begins to recover, we expect a faster recovery in this market.

The space market is increasingcomprised of four customer markets: the civil market, namely NASA, the department of defense market, the commercial space market and the new space market. The civil market is driven by investment for commercial and exploration activities, including NASA's return to the moon. The department of defense market is driven by governmental-authorized levels of funding for satellite communications, as Boeing and Airbus work to fulfill large backlogs of unfilled orders.
well as funding for hypersonic defense technologies. The commercial space market is comprised of large satellite customers, which traditionally sell to 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 replacementreplacements and global navigation needs. The new space market is also partially dependent ondriven by investments to increase the governmental-authorized levels ofspeed and access to space through smaller satellites, at reduced cost. Similar to the defense market, the funding for satellite communications, as well as investment for commercial and exploration activities.these markets have not been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic to-date.

TheOur energy generation and exploration products operate in a market we servethat is affected by changing oil and natural gas prices, global urbanization and 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.energy. 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, after the significant decline inCOVID-19 pandemic has led to reduced oil prices, which reduces the price of crude oil from 2014 through 2016,economic feasibility for these investments in exploration activities have been reduced.and explorations.
The medical market we serve, in general, 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 hadThe outbreak of the effect of extending average life spans, in turn resulting in greater needCOVID-19 virus has created unprecedented demand for medical services. These same technologyequipment and treatment advances also drivehas shifted the way hospitals optimize their capacity. Our medical components products are critical motion control components for life saving medical equipment, including ventilators, oxygen concentrators and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines, among others. The COVID-19 pandemic has 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 ventilators. Our products are a key component of the industry's supply chain. Additionally, our medical services.devices products including infusion and enteral feeding pumps, and their corresponding disposable sets, are used primarily in the home healthcare environment. Since the COVID-19 pandemic has altered the way hospitals provide care by asking non-critical patients to recuperate at home and by creating temporary hospitals to treat the surge in demand, our medical devices products have seen an increase in orders.
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-fifth of our 20182019 sales were denominated in foreign currencies. During the first ninesix months of 2019,2020, average foreign currency rates generally weakened against the U.S. dollar compared to 2018.2019. The translation of the results of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars decreased sales by $18$5 million compared to the same period one year ago.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 28, 2019 for a complete discussion of our risk factors. There have been no material changes in the current year regarding our risk factors, other than the addition of the following:
We face various risks related to health epidemics such as the global COVID-19 pandemic, which may have material adverse consequences on our operations, financial position, cash flows, and those of our customers and suppliers. We face adverse effects related to the global COVID-19 pandemic, including disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, disruption in our global supply chain and a net reduction in our overall manufacturing activities. We would expect the COVID-19 pandemic to adversely affect our operations if significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively due to illness, quarantines, government actions, facility closures, or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, our financial position, supply chain, liquidity, cash flow and customer orders would also face pressures for at least the balance of this fiscal year.
Substantially all of our operations and production activities in the U.S. and globally have remained operational during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of our facilities are considered essential activities (including work for the U.S. military and the supply of medical devices and sub-assemblies) exempt from closure directives. However, they are subject to various local and national directives curtailing operations, requiring work from home and social distancing which otherwise could impact the efficiency of our operations. Such directives could change at any time.
We continue to monitor the situation, assess further possible implications to our operations, supply chain, liquidity, cash flow and customer orders, and take actions in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences.
Recognizing the unprecedented nature, scale and uncertainty associated with this global health crisis, the duration and extent of the on-going impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
The potential phase out of LIBOR may negatively impact our debt agreements and financial position, results of operations and liquidity. On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced that it intends to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. It is unclear whether new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established or whether different benchmark rates used to price indebtedness will develop. If LIBOR ceases to exist, we may need to renegotiate our debt agreements that extend beyond 2021 that utilize LIBOR as a factor in determining the interest rate, which may negatively impact the terms of such indebtedness. In addition, the overall financial markets may be disrupted as a result of the phase out or replacement of LIBOR. Disruption in the financial markets could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.
