NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted
Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Certain amendments should be applied prospectively, while other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. We are currently evaluating the timing and impact of the amended guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance to add, remove, and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The amended guidance removes the requirements to disclose: amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year; the amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the entity; and the effects of a one-percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates. The amended guidance requires disclosure of an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. This guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The amended guidance is required to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on our disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
In June 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance that changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade receivables, contract assets and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will beare required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss”current expected credit loss ("CECL") model that will replace today’s “incurred loss” model and generally will resultimmediately recognize an estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the life of the financial instruments that are in the earlier recognitionscope of allowances for losses.this update, including trade receivables. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to current practice, except that the losses will be recognized as an allowance. This amended guidanceThe CECL model is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019,based on relevant information about past events, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first effective reporting period. We do not expecthistorical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that the amended guidance will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures when we adopt this standard effective January 1, 2020.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted
Codification Updates to SEC Sections
In July 2019, we adopted the FASB issued guidance related to codification updates to SEC sections. The amended guidance clarifies or improves the disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of codification topics by aligning them with the SEC’s regulations, thereby eliminating redundancies and making the codification easier to apply. While most of the amendments in this update eliminate outdated or duplicative disclosure requirements, the final rule amends the interim financial statement requirements to include a reconciliation of changes in stockholders’ equity in the notes to the financial statements or as a separate statement for each period for which an income statement is required to be filed. We have provided this required supplemental information in Note 6, “Changes in Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.”

Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on accounting for leases. The amended guidance requires the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases by lessees with the exception of leases with an initial term of twelve months or less and amends disclosure requirements associated with leasing arrangements.affect collectability.
On January 1, 2019,2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, “Leases” (“the new standard” or “ASC 842”) using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, we electedCECL standard and developed an expected impairment model based on our historical loss experience. We believe that our previous methodology to applycalculate credit losses is generally consistent with the new standard as of the application date. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under ASC 842, while prior period amounts continue to be reported under ASC 840, “Leases” (“ASC 840”). We elected to apply the package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard, which among other things, allows us to carryforward the historical lease classification. No other transition practical expedients were elected. We implemented a new system, processes,expected credit loss model and controls to enable the preparation of financial information upon adoption.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The adoption of the new standard primarily impacted our accounting for operating leases which resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities. The accounting for finance leases did not substantially change under the new standard, and we do not have significant finance leases. Upon adoption, we established a right-of-use asset of $109.1 million (included in Other assets) and a lease liability of $110.4 million (included in Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities) at January 1, 2019. Our prospective adoption of this new standard did not result in a cumulative-effectmaterial adjustment to retained earnings.during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The new standard did not impact our consolidated statementsallowance for doubtful accounts was $9.5 million and $7.2 million as of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows.March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Note 2 - Segment Results
Our segments are reported on the same basis used internally for evaluating performance and for allocating resources. We have 4 reportable segments: Fluid Handling, Payment & Merchandising Technologies, Aerospace & Electronics and Engineered Materials.

Remaining Performance Obligations
The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price of firm orders which have not yet been fulfilled, which we also refer to as total backlog. As of September 30, 2019, backlog was $1,138.3 million. We expect to recognize approximately 45% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue in 2019, an additional 41% by 2020 and the balance thereafter.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract assets represent unbilled amounts that typically arise from contracts for customized products or contracts for products sold directly to the U.S. government or indirectly to the U.S. government through subcontracts, where revenue recognized using the cost-to-cost method exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract assets are assessed for impairment and recorded at their net realizable value. Contract liabilities represent advance payments from customers. Revenue related to contract liabilities is recognized when control is transferred to the customer. We report contract assets, which are included within “Other current assets” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and contract liabilities, which are included within “Accrued liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, on a contract-by-contract net basis at the end of each reporting period. Net contract assets and contract liabilities consisted of the following:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


We recognized revenue of $3.8 million and $40.9 million during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, respectively, related to contract liabilities as of December 31, 2018.
Note 4 - Acquisitions
Acquisitions are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). Accordingly, we make an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon our understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. We obtain this information during due diligence and through other sources. In the months after closing, as we obtain additional information about these assets and liabilities, including through tangible and intangible asset appraisals, we are able to refine estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price. Only items identified as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment.adjustment to the purchase price allocation. We will make appropriate adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to completion of the measurement period, as required.
Crane Currency Acquisition
On January 10, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Crane & Co., Inc. (“Crane Currency”). The base purchase price of the acquisition was $800 million on a cash-free, debt-free basis, subject to a later adjustment reflecting Crane Currency’s net working capital, cash, the assumption of certain debt-like items, and Crane Currency’s transaction expenses. The amount paid, net of cash acquired, was $672.3 million. In July 2018, we received $24.3 million related to the final working capital adjustment of the Crane Currency acquisition, resulting in net cash paid of $648.0 million. To finance the acquisition, we issued commercial paper under our commercial paper program and utilized proceeds from term loans that we issued at the closing of the acquisition, as well as available cash on hand. At the closing, the transitory subsidiary of Crane Co. merged with and into Crane Currency, with Crane Currency surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Crane Co.
Crane Currency is a supplier of banknotes and highly engineered banknote security features which complement the existing portfolio of currency and payment products within the Payment & Merchandising Technologies segment. As such, Crane Currency was integrated into our Payment & Merchandising Technologies segment. The amount allocated to goodwill reflects the benefits we expect to realize from the acquisition, as the acquisition is expected to strengthen and broaden our product offering within the currency and payment markets. Goodwill from this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.
Crane Currency’s results of operations have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods subsequent to the completion of the acquisition on January 10, 2018. The pro forma impact for the stub period (January 1, 2018 through January 9, 2018) is not material.
Allocation of Consideration Transferred to Net Assets Acquired

In order to allocate the consideration transferred for Crane Currency,our acquisitions, the fair values of all identifiable assets and liabilities weremust be established. For accounting and financial reporting purposes, fair value is defined under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure” as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market participants are assumed to be buyers

and sellers in the principal (most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Additionally, fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use of that asset by market participants. Use of different estimates and judgments could yield different results.
Cummins-Allison Acquisition
On December 31, 2019, we completed the acquisition of Cummins-Allison Corp. (“Cummins-Allison”). The base purchase price of the acquisition was $160 million on a cash-free, debt-free basis, subject to a later adjustment reflecting Cummins-Allison’s net working capital, cash, and Cummins-Allison’s transaction expenses. The amount paid, net of cash acquired, was $156.2 million. We funded the acquisition through short-term borrowings consisting of $150 million of commercial paper, and cash on hand.
Cummins-Allison is a leading provider of high speed, cash and coin counting and sorting machines and retail cash office solutions which are primarily used in back-office applications. Cummins-Allison also has a nationwide service network to support these hardware sales. Cummins-Allison was integrated into the Payment & Merchandising Technologies segment. The amount allocated to goodwill reflects the expected synergies related to material costs, supply chain manufacturing productivity and research and development. Goodwill from this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.
Allocation of Consideration Transferred to Net Assets Acquired
The following amounts represent the preliminary determination of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from our acquisition of Cummins-Allison. The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities will be completed within the one year measurement period as required by ASC 805. We have not yet completed our evaluation and determination of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed, primarily related to the final assessment and valuation of certain tax amounts. Therefore, the final fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may vary from our preliminary estimates presented below:
Net assets acquired (in millions)
  
Total current assets $92.6
Property, plant and equipment 26.6
Other assets 9.1
Intangible assets 66.0

Total assets acquired $245.9
   
Total current liabilities $67.3
Other liabilities 22.4
Total assumed liabilities $89.7
Net assets acquired $156.2

The amounts allocated to acquired intangible assets, and their associated weighted-average useful lives which were determined based on the period in which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to our future cash flows, consist of the following:

The fair values of the trademark and trade name intangible assets were determined by using an “income approach,” specifically the relief-from-royalty approach, which is a commonly accepted valuation approach. This approach is based on the assumption that in lieu of ownership, a firm would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of this asset. Therefore, a portion of Crane Currency’sCummins-Allison’s earnings, equal to the after-tax royalty that would have been paid for the use of the asset, can be attributed to the firm’sour ownership. The trademarktrade name Cummins Allison is being amortized on a straight-line basis (which approximates the economic pattern of benefits) over the estimated economic life of seven years.
The fair values of the customer relationships intangible assets were determined by using an “income approach” which is a commonly accepted valuation approach. Under this approach, the net earnings attributable to the asset or liability being

These projected cash flows are isolated from the projected cash flows of the combined asset group over the remaining economic life of the intangible asset or liability being measured. Both the amount and trade names, Crane Currencythe duration of the cash flows are considered from a market participant perspective. Our estimates of market participant net cash flows considered historical and Craneprojected pricing, operational performance including market participant synergies, aftermarket retention, product life cycles, material and labor pricing, and other relevant customer, contractual and market factors. Where appropriate, the net cash flows were adjusted to reflect the potential attrition of existing customers in the future, as existing customers are assigneda “wasting” asset and are expected to decline over time. The attrition-adjusted future cash flows are then discounted to present value using an indefiniteappropriate discount rate. The customer relationship asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis (which approximates the economic pattern of benefits) over the estimated economic life and, therefore, will not be amortized.of 18 years.
The fair values of the product technology intangible assets were also determined by the relief-from-royalty approach. Similarly, this approach is based on the assumption that in lieu of ownership, a firm would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of the technology. Therefore, a portion of Crane Currency’sCummins-Allison’s earnings, equal to the after-tax royalty that would have been paid for the use of the technology, can be attributed to the firm’s ownership of the technology. The technology assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis (which approximates the economic pattern of benefits) over the estimated economic life of 710 years.
Supplemental Pro Forma Data
The following unaudited pro forma combined information assumes that the acquisition was completed on January 1, 2019. The unaudited pro forma consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019 would have been $880.1 million. The unaudited pro forma consolidated net sales are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not indicative of our actual consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position. Consolidated pro forma net income attributable to 11common shareholders has not been presented since the impact is not material to our financial results.
Instrumentation & Sampling Business Acquisition
On January 31, 2020, we completed the acquisition of CIRCOR International, Inc.’s Instrumentation & Sampling Business (“I&S”) for $172 million on a cash-free and debt-free basis, subject to a later adjustment reflecting I&S' net working capital, cash, the assumption of certain debt-like items, and I&S' transaction expenses. We funded the acquisition through short-term borrowings consisting of $100 million of commercial paper and $67 million from our revolving credit facility, and cash on hand.

I&S designs, engineers and manufactures a broad range of critical fluid control instrumentation and sampling solutions used in severe service environments which complements our existing portfolio of chemical, refining, petrochemical and upstream oil and gas applications. I&S was integrated into the Fluid Handling segment. The amount allocated to goodwill reflects the expected sales synergies, manufacturing efficiency and procurement savings. Goodwill from this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.
Allocation of Consideration Transferred to Net Assets Acquired
The following amounts represent the preliminary determination of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from our acquisition of I&S. The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities will be completed within the one year measurement period as required by ASC 805. We have not yet completed our evaluation and determination of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed, primarily 1) the final valuation of intangible assets related to trademarks/trade names and customer relationships; 2) the final assessment and valuation of certain other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including accounts receivable, accrued expenses and other liabilities; and 3) the final assessment and valuation of certain tax amounts.

Remaining Performance Obligations
The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price of firm orders which have not yet been fulfilled, which we also refer to as total backlog. As of March 31, 2020, backlog was $1,178.0 million. We expect to recognize approximately 79% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue in 2020, an additional 11% in 2021 and the balance thereafter.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract assets represent unbilled amounts that typically arise from contracts for customized products or contracts for products sold directly to the U.S. government or indirectly to the U.S. government through subcontracts, where revenue recognized using the cost-to-cost method exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract assets are assessed for impairment and recorded at their net realizable value. Contract liabilities represent advance payments from customers. Revenue related to contract liabilities is recognized when control is transferred to the customer. We report contract assets, which are included within “Other current assets” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and contract liabilities, which are included within “Accrued liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, on a contract-by-contract net basis at the end of each reporting period. Net contract assets and contract liabilities consisted of the following:

Note 5 - Earnings Per Share
Our basic earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, restricted share units, deferred stock units and performance-based restricted share units. The effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per common share by application of the treasury method. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.

Note 8 - Income Taxes
Effective Tax Rates
Our quarterly provision for income taxes is measured using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items within the period presented.
Our effective tax rates are as follows:
 Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
 2019 2018 2019 2018
Effective Tax Rate22.5% 17.6% 22.3% 19.7%
 Three Months Ended March 31,
 2020 2019
Effective Tax Rate21.8% 21.0%


Our tax rate for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 areMarch 31, 2020 is higher than the prior year’s comparable periods primarily due to lower share-based compensation benefits, partially offset by a balance sheet tax account adjustment recorded in 2018 after we finalized certain calculationshigher statutory U.S. deduction related to U.S. tax reform enacted December 2017.our non-U.S. subsidiaries’ income.
Our tax rate for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 areMarch 31, 2020 is higher than the statutory U.S. federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to earnings in jurisdictions with statutory tax rates higher than the U.S. and U.S. state taxes, partially offset by excess share-based compensation benefits and the statutory U.S. deduction related to our non-U.S. subsidiaries’ income.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, our gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, decreased by $1.9$1.3 million, and $0.2 million, respectively, primarily as a result of reductions resulting from the expiration of statutes of limitations and tax positions taken in prior periods, partially offset by increases in tax positions taken in both the current year and prior periods.year. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate decreased by $2.2 million and increased by $0.3 million, respectively.$1.1 million. The difference between these amounts relates to (1) offsetting tax effects from other tax jurisdictions, and (2) interest expense, net of deferred taxes.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we recognized $(0.6)$0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of interest and penalty (income)/expense related to unrecognized tax benefits in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. At September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the total amount of accrued interest and penalty expense related to unrecognized tax benefits recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $7.9$8.3 million and $7.2$8.0 million, respectively.
During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $6.6$10.3 million due to expiration of statutes of limitations and settlements with tax authorities. However, if the ultimate resolution of income tax examinations results in amounts that differ from this estimate, we will record additional income tax expense or benefit in the period in which such matters are effectively settled.

Note 9 - Leases
Arrangements that explicitly or implicitly relate to property, plant and equipment are assessed at inception to determine if the arrangement is or contains a lease. Generally, we enter into operating leases as the lessee and recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term.
We lease certain vehicles, equipment, manufacturing facilities, and non-manufacturing facilities. We have leases with both lease components and non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, utilities, or other repairs and maintenance. For all asset classes, we applied the practical expedient to account for each separate lease component and its associated non-lease component(s) as a single lease component.
We identify variable lease payments, such as maintenance payments based on actual activities performed or costs incurred, at lease commencement by assessing the nature of the payment provisions, including whether the payments are subject to a minimum.
Certain leases include options to renew for an additional term or company-controlled options to terminate. As renewal options are typically priced at fair market value, we generally determine it is not reasonably certain to assume the exercise of renewal options because there is no economic incentive to renew. As termination options often include penalties, we generally determine it is reasonably certain that termination options will not be exercised because there is an economic incentive not to terminate. Therefore, these options generally do not impact the lease term or the determination or classification of the right-of-use asset and lease liability.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


In the third quarter of 2017, we entered into a seven-year lease for a used airplane which includes a maximum residual value guarantee of $11.1 million if the fair value of the airplane is less than $14.4 million at the end of the lease term. We do not believe it is probable that any amount will be owed under this guarantee. Therefore, no amount related to the residual value guarantee is included in the lease payments used to measure the right-of-use asset and lease liability. We have not entered into any other leases where a residual value guarantee is provided to the lessor.
We do not enter into arrangements where restrictions or covenants are imposed by the lessor that, for example, relate to incurring additional financial obligations. Furthermore, we also have not entered into any significant sublease arrangements.
We use our collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date to determine the present value of future payments and the appropriate lease classification. The rate implicit in the lease is generally unknown, as we generally operate in the capacity of the lessee.

Note 109 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Our business acquisitions have typically resulted in the recognition of goodwill and other intangible assets. We follow the provisions under ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”) as it relates to the accounting for goodwill in our condensed consolidated financial statements. These provisions require that we, on at least an annual basis, evaluate the fair value of the reporting units to which goodwill is assigned and attributed and compare that fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit to determine if an impairment has occurred. We perform our annual impairment testing during the fourth quarter. Impairment testing takes place more often than annually if events or circumstances indicate a change in status that would indicate a potential impairment. We believe that there have been no events or circumstances which would more likely than not reduce the fair value for our reporting units below its carrying value. A reporting unit is an operating segment unless discrete financial information is prepared and reviewed by segment management for businesses one level below that operating segment (a “component”), in which case the component would be the reporting unit. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had 8 reporting units.
When performing
In March of 2020, we observed a significant decline in the market valuation of our annual impairment assessment,common shares as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, we compareperformed sensitivity analyses based on more recent assumptions, including entity-specific and macroeconomic factors resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. We concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of each of our reporting units to its respective carrying value. Goodwill is considered to be potentially impaired when the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair values are established primarily by discounting estimated future cash flows at an estimated cost of capital which varies for each reporting unit and which, as of our most recent annual impairment assessment, ranged between 10.0% and 13.0% (a weighted average of 10.9%), reflecting the respective inherent business risk of each of the reporting units tested. This methodology for valuing our reporting units (commonly referred to as the Income Method) has not changed since the adoption of the provisions under ASC 350. The determination of discounted cash flows is based on the businesses’ strategic plans and long-range planning forecasts, which change from year to year. The revenue growth rates included in the forecasts represent best estimates based on current and forecasted market conditions. Profit margin assumptions are projected by each reporting unit based on the current cost structure and anticipated net cost increases/reductions. There are inherent uncertainties related to these assumptions, including changes in market conditions, and management judgment is necessary in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. In addition to the foregoing, for each reporting unit, market multiples are used to corroborate its discounted cash flow results where fair value is estimated based on earnings multiples determined by available public information of comparable businesses.were below their carrying values. While we believe we have made reasonable estimates and assumptions, to calculate the fair value of our reporting units, it is possible a material change could occur. If actual results are not consistent with management’s estimates and assumptions, goodwill and other intangible assets may then be determined to be overstated and a charge would need to be taken against net earnings. Furthermore, in order to evaluate the sensitivity of the fair value calculations on the goodwill impairment test performed during the fourth quarter of 2018, we applied a hypothetical, reasonably possible 10% decrease to the fair values of each reporting unit. The effects of this hypothetical 10% decrease would still result in the fair value calculation exceeding the carrying value for each reporting unit.

As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had $445.4$545.4 million of net intangible assets, of which $69.4 million were intangibles with indefinite useful lives, consisting of trade names. As of December 31, 2019, we had $505.1 million of net intangible assets, of which $69.9 million were intangibles with indefinite useful lives, consisting of trade names. Intangibles with indefinite useful lives are tested annually for impairment, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the potential for impairment. If the carrying amount of an indefinite lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the intangible asset is written down to its fair value. Fair value is calculated using relief from royalty method. We amortize the cost of definite-lived intangibles over their estimated useful lives.
In addition to annual testing for impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets, we We also review all of our definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Examples
In March of events or changes2020, we observed a significant decline in circumstancesthe market valuation of our common shares as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, we performed sensitivity analyses based on more recent assumptions, including entity-specific and macroeconomic factors resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. We concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of our indefinite-lived intangible assets were below their carrying values. While we believe we have made reasonable estimates and assumptions, it is possible a material change could include, butoccur. If actual results are not limitedconsistent with management’s estimates and assumptions, indefinite-lived intangible assets may then be determined to a prolonged economic downturn, current period operating or cash flow losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of an asset or asset group, or a current expectation that an asset or asset group will be sold or disposed of before the end of its previously estimated useful life. Recoverability is based upon projections of anticipated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the use and eventual disposal of the definite-lived intangible asset (or asset group), as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. Reviews occur at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of cash flows associated with other long-lived assets or asset groups and include estimated future revenues, gross profit margins, operating profit margins and capital expenditures which are based on the businesses’ strategic plans and long-range planning forecasts, which change from year to year. The revenue growth rates included in the forecasts represent our best estimates based on current and forecasted market conditions, and the profit margin assumptions are based on the current cost structure and anticipated net cost increases/reductions. There are inherent uncertainties related to these assumptions, including changes in market conditions, and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, then the definite-lived intangible asset is considered impairedoverstated and a charge would need to be taken against net earnings based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value. Judgments that we make which impact these assessments relate to the expected useful lives of definite-lived assets and our ability to realize any undiscounted cash flows in excess of the carrying amounts of such assets, and are affected primarily by changes in the expected use of the assets, changes in technology or development of alternative assets, changes in economic conditions, changes in operating performance and changes in expected future cash flows. Since judgment is involved in determining the recoverable amount of definite-lived intangible assets, there is risk that the carrying value of our definite-lived intangible assets may require adjustment in future periods. Historical results to date have generally approximated expected cash flows for the identifiable cash flow generating level. We believe there have been no events or circumstances which would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our indefinite-lived or definite-lived intangible assets below their carrying value.earnings.

Of the 28,82929,162 pending claims as of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, approximately 18,000 claims were pending in New York, approximately 100 claims were pending in Texas, approximately 300 claims were pending in Mississippi, and approximately 200 claims were pending in Ohio, all jurisdictions in which legislation or judicial orders restrict the types of claims that can proceed to trial on the merits.
We have tried several cases resulting in defense verdicts by the jury or directed verdicts for the defense by the court. We further have pursued appeals of certain adverse jury verdicts that have resulted in reversals in favor of the defense. We have also tried several other cases resulting in plaintiff verdicts which we paid or settled after unsuccessful appeals, the most recent of which are described below.
On March 23, 2010, a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, state court jury found us responsible for a 1/11th share of a $14.5 million verdict in the James Nelson claim. On February 23, 2011, the court entered judgment on the verdict in the amount of $4.0 million, jointly, against us and two other defendants, with additional interest in the amount of $0.01 million being assessed against us, only. All defendants, including us, and the plaintiffs took timely appeals of certain aspects of those judgments. On September 5, 2013, a panel of the Pennsylvania Superior Court, in a 2-1 decision, vacated the Nelson verdict against all defendants, reversing and remanding for a new trial. Plaintiffs requested a rehearing in the Superior Court and by order dated November 18, 2013, the Superior Court vacated the panel opinion, and granted en banc reargument. On December 23, 2014, the Superior Court issued a second opinion reversing the jury verdict. Plaintiffs sought leave to appeal to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which defendants opposed. By order dated June 21, 2017, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania denied plaintiffs’ petition for leave to appeal. The case was set for a new trial in April 2018. We settled the matter.  The settlement was reflected in the second quarter 2018 indemnity amount.
On February 25, 2013, a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, state court jury found us responsible for a 1/10th share of a $2.5 million verdict in the Thomas Amato claim and a 1/5th share of a $2.3 million verdict in the Frank Vinciguerra claim, which were consolidated for trial. We filed post-trial motions requesting judgments in our favor notwithstanding the jury’s verdicts or new trials, and also requesting that settlement offsets be applied to reduce the judgment in accordance with Pennsylvania law. These motions were denied. We appealed, and on April 17, 2015, a panel of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania affirmed the trial court’s ruling. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania accepted our petition for review and heard oral arguments on September 13, 2016. On November 22, 2016, the Court dismissed our appeal as improvidently granted. We paid the Vinciguerra judgment in the amount of $0.6 million in the fourth quarter 2016. We paid the Amato judgment, with interest, in the amount of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2017.
On March 1, 2013, a New York City state court jury entered a $35 million verdict against us in the Ivo Peraica claim. We filed post-trial motions seeking to overturn the verdict, to grant a new trial, or to reduce the damages, which we argue was excessive under New York appellate case law governing awards for non-economic losses and further were subject to settlement offsets. After the trial court remitted the verdict to $18 million, but otherwise denied our post-trial motion, judgment was entered against us in the amount of $10.6 million (including interest). We appealed. We took a separate appeal of the trial court’s denial of our summary judgment motion. The Court consolidated the appeals, which were heard in the fourth quarter of 2014. In July 2016, we supplemented our briefing based on the New York Court of Appeals Dummitt/Suttner decision. On October 6, 2016, a panel of the Appellate Division, First Department, affirmed the rulings of the trial court on liability issues but further reduced the damages award to $4.25 million, which after settlement offsets was calculated to be $1.94 million. Plaintiff had the option of accepting the reduced amount or having a new trial on damages. We filed a motion with the Appellate Division requesting a rehearing on liability issues. The motion was denied. The New York Court of Appeals also denied review. We paid the Peraica judgment in the amount of $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2017.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


On September 17, 2013, a Fort Lauderdale, Florida state court jury in the Richard DeLisle claim found us responsible for 16% of an $8 million verdict. The trial court denied all parties’ post-trial motions, and entered judgment against us in the amount of $1.3 million. We appealed and oral argument on the appeal took place on February 16, 2016. On September 14, 2016, a panel of the Florida Court of Appeals reversed and entered judgment in favor of us. Plaintiff filed with the Court of Appeals a motion for rehearing and/or certification of an appeal to the Florida Supreme Court, which the Court denied on November 9, 2016. Plaintiffs subsequently requested review by the Supreme Court of Florida. Plaintiffs' motion was granted on July 11, 2017. Oral argument took place on March 6, 2018. On October 15, 2018, the Supreme Court of Florida reversed and remanded with instructions to reinstate the trial court’s judgment. We paid the judgment on December 28, 2018.  That payment is reflected in the fourth quarter 2018 indemnity amount.
On June 16, 2014, a New York City state court jury entered a $15 million verdict against us in the Ivan Sweberg claim and a $10 million verdict against us in the Selwyn Hackshaw claim. The two claims were consolidated for trial. We filed post-trial motions seeking to overturn the verdicts, to grant new trials, or to reduce the damages, which were denied, except that the Court reduced the Sweberg award to $10 million, and reduced the Hackshaw award to $6 million. Judgments were entered in the amount of $5.3 million in Sweberg and $3.1 million in Hackshaw. We appealed. Oral argument on Sweberg took place on February 16, 2016, and oral argument on Hackshaw took place on March 9, 2016. On October 6, 2016, two panels of the Appellate Division, First Department, affirmed the rulings of the trial court on liability issues but further reduced the Sweberg damages award to $9.5 million and further reduced the Hackshaw damages award to $3 million, which after settlement offsets are calculated to be $4.73 million in Sweberg and $0 in Hackshaw. Plaintiffs were given the option of accepting the reduced awards or having new trials on damages. Plaintiffs subsequently brought an appeal in Hackshaw before the New York Court of Appeals, which the Court denied. We filed a motion with the Appellate Division requesting a rehearing on liability issues in Sweberg. That motion was denied. The New York Court of Appeals also denied review. We paid in the first quarter of 2017 the Sweberg plaintiffs $5.7 million, which was the amount owed under this judgment. No damages were owed in Hackshaw.
On July 2, 2015, a St. Louis, Missouri state court jury in the James Poage claim entered a $1.5 million verdict for compensatory damages against us. The jury also awarded exemplary damages against us in the amount of $10 million. We filed a motion seeking to reduce the verdict to account for the verdict set-offs. That motion was denied, and judgment was entered against us in the amount of $10.8 million. We initiated an appeal. Oral argument was held on December 13, 2016. In an opinion dated May 2, 2017, a Missouri Court of Appeals panel affirmed the judgment in all respects.  The Court of Appeals denied our motion to transfer the case to the Supreme Court of Missouri. We sought leave to appeal before the Supreme Court of Missouri, which denied that request. The Supreme Court of the United States denied further review on March 26, 2018. We settled the matter.  The settlement was reflected in the second quarter 2018 indemnity amount.
On February 9, 2016, a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, federal court jury found us responsible for a 30% share of a $1.085 million verdict in the Valent Rabovsky claim. The court ordered briefing on the amount of the judgment. We argued, among other things, that settlement offsets reduce the award to plaintiff under Pennsylvania law. A further hearing was held April 26, 2016, after which the court denied our request and entered judgment in the amount of $0.4 million. We filed post-trial motions, which were denied in two decisions issued on August 26, 2016 and September 28, 2016. We pursued an appeal to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, which was argued on June 12, 2017. On September 27, 2017, the Court entered an order asking the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania to decide one of the issues raised in our appeal. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania accepted the request, and we settled the matter. The settlement was reflected in the fourth quarter 2017 indemnity amount.

On April 22, 2016, a Phoenix, Arizona federal court jury found us responsible for a 20% share of a $9 million verdict in the George Coulbourn claim, and further awarded exemplary damages against us in the amount of $5 million.  The jury also awarded compensatory and exemplary damages against the other defendant present at trial.  The court entered judgment against us in the amount of $6.8 million. We filed post-trial motions, which were denied on September 20, 2016. We pursued an appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals which affirmed the judgment on March 29, 2018. We settled the matter.  The settlement was reflected in the second quarter 2018 indemnity amount.
On June 30, 2017, a New York City state court jury entered a $20 million verdict against us in the Geoffrey Anisansel claim. We settled the matter in August 2017. The settlement was reflected in the third quarter 2017 indemnity amount.
Such judgment amounts were not included in our incurred costs until all available appeals are exhausted and the final payment amount is determined.
The gross settlement and defense costs incurred (before insurance recoveries and tax effects) by us for the nine-month periodsthree months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019 and 2018 totaled $54.2$12.6 million and $69.7$26.5 million, respectively. In contrast to the recognition of settlement and defense costs, which reflect the current level of activity in the tort system, cash payments and receipts generally lag the tort system activity by several months or more, and may show some fluctuation from period to period.

The related settlement cost incurred by us and our insurance carriers is approximately $640$650 million, for an average settlement cost per resolved claim of approximately $4,600.$4,700. The average settlement cost per claim resolved during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $15,800, $11,300, and 2016 was $11,300, $7,800, and $3,900, respectively. Because claims are sometimes dismissed in large groups, the average cost per resolved claim, as well as the number of open claims, can fluctuate significantly from period to period. In addition to large group dismissals, the nature of the disease and corresponding settlement amounts for each claim resolved will also drive changes from period to period in the average settlement cost per claim. Accordingly, the average cost per resolved claim is not considered in our periodic review of our estimated asbestos liability. For a discussion regarding the four most significant factors affecting the liability estimate, see “Effects on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”.Statements.”
Effects on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
We have retained an independent actuarial firm to assist management in estimating our asbestos liability in the tort system. The actuarial consultants review information provided by us concerning claims filed, settled and dismissed, amounts paid in settlements and relevant claim information such as the nature of the asbestos-related disease asserted by the claimant, the jurisdiction where filed and the time lag from filing to disposition of the claim. The methodology used by the actuarial consultants to project future asbestos costs is based on our recent historical experience for claims filed, settled and dismissed during a base reference period. Our experience is then compared to estimates of the number of individuals likely to develop asbestos-related diseases determined based on widely used previously conducted epidemiological studies augmented with current data inputs. Those studies were undertaken in connection with national analyses of the population of workers believed to have been exposed to asbestos. Using that information, the actuarial consultants estimate the number of future claims that

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


would be filed against us and estimates the aggregate settlement or indemnity costs that would be incurred to resolve both pending and future claims based upon the average settlement costs by disease during the reference period. This methodology has been accepted by numerous courts. After discussions with us, the actuarial consultants augment our liability estimate for the costs of defending asbestos claims in the tort system using a forecast from us which is based upon discussions with our defense counsel. Based on this information, the actuarial consultants compile an estimate of our asbestos liability for pending and future claims using a range of reference periods based on claim experience and covering claims expected to be filed through the indicated forecast period. The most significant factors affecting the liability estimate are (1) the number of new mesothelioma claims filed against us, (2) the average settlement costs for mesothelioma claims, (3) the percentage of mesothelioma claims dismissed against us and (4) the aggregate defense costs incurred by us. These factors are interdependent, and no one factor predominates in determining the liability estimate.
In our view, the forecast period used to provide the best estimate for asbestos claims and related liabilities and costs is a judgment based upon a number of trend factors, including the number and type of claims being filed each year; the jurisdictions where such claims are filed, and the effect of any legislation or judicial orders in such jurisdictions restricting the types of claims that can proceed to trial on the merits; and the likelihood of any comprehensive asbestos legislation at the federal level.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


In addition, the dynamics of asbestos litigation in the tort system have been significantly affected by the substantial number of companies that have filed for bankruptcy protection, thereby staying any asbestos claims against them until the conclusion of such proceedings, and the establishment of a number of post-bankruptcy trusts for asbestos claimants, which have been estimated to provide $36 billion for payments to current and future claimants. These trend factors have both positive and negative effects on the dynamics of asbestos litigation in the tort system and the related best estimate of our asbestos liability, and these effects do not move in a linear fashion but rather change over multi-year periods. Accordingly, management continues to monitor these trend factors over time and periodically assesses whether an alternative forecast period is appropriate.
Each quarter, the actuarial consultants compile an update based upon our experience in claims filed, settled and dismissed as well as average settlement costs by disease category (mesothelioma, lung cancer, other cancer, and non-malignant conditions including asbestosis). In addition to this claims experience, we also consider additional quantitative and qualitative factors such as the nature of the aging of pending claims, significant appellate rulings and legislative developments, and their respective effects on expected future settlement values. As part of this process, we also take into accountconsider trends in the tort system such as those enumerated above. Management considers all these factors in conjunction with the liability estimate of the actuarial consultants and determines whether a change in the estimate is warranted.
Liability Estimate. EffectiveIn June 2016, the New York State Court of Appeals issued its opinion in Dummitt v. Crane Co., affirming a 2012 verdict for $4.9 million against us. In that opinion, the court ruled that in certain circumstances we are legally responsible for asbestos-containing materials made and sold by third parties that others attached post-sale to our equipment. This decision provided clarity regarding the nature of claims that may proceed to trial in New York and greater predictability regarding future claim activity. We also reflected the impact of the Dummitt decision on our expected settlement values. Accordingly, on December 31, 2016 we updated and extended our asbestos liability estimate through 2059, the generally accepted end point.
Following our experience in the tort system post the Dummitt decision, we entered into several, increasingly similar, group settlements with various plaintiff firms, the most recent of which was in the fourth quarter of 2019. We expect this new trend of these types of group settlements to continue, and accordingly, effective as of December 31, 2016,2019, we extendedupdated our estimate of the asbestos liability, including therevised costs of settlement or indemnity payments and defense costs relating to currently pending claims and future claims projected to be filed against us through the generally acceptedsame expected end point of such claims in 2059. Our previous estimate was for asbestos claims filed or projected to be filed through 2021. Our estimate of the asbestos liability for pending and future claims through 2059 is based on the projected future asbestos costs resulting from our experience using a range of reference periods for claims filed, settled and dismissed. Based on this estimate, we recorded an additional liability of $227$255 million as of December 31, 2016. This action was based on several factors which contribute to our ability to reasonably estimate this liability through 2059. First, the number of mesothelioma claims (which, although constituting approximately 10% of our total pending asbestos claims, have consistently accounted for approximately 90% of our aggregate settlement and defense costs) being filed against us and associated settlement costs have stabilized. Second, there have been generally favorable developments in the trend of case law, which has been a contributing factor in stabilizing the asbestos claims activity and related settlement costs. Third, there have been significant actions taken by certain state legislatures and courts that have reduced the number and types of claims that can proceed to trial, which has been a significant factor in stabilizing the asbestos claims activity. Fourth, recent court decisions in certain jurisdictions have provided additional clarity regarding the nature of claims that may proceed to trial in those jurisdictions and greater predictability regarding future claim activity. Fifth, we have coverage-in-place agreements with almost all of our excess insurers, which enables us to project a stable relationship between settlement and defense costs paid by us and reimbursements from our insurers. Sixth, annual settlements with respect to groups of cases with certain plaintiff firms have helped to stabilize indemnity payments and defense costs. Taking these factors into account, we believe that we can reasonably estimate the asbestos liability for pending claims and future claims to be filed through 2059.2019.
Management has made its best estimate of the costs through 2059. Through September 30, 2019, our actual experience during the updated reference period for mesothelioma claims filed and dismissed generally approximated the assumptions in our liability estimate. In addition to this claims experience, we considered additional quantitative and qualitative factors such as the nature of the aging of pending claims, significant appellate rulings and legislative developments, and their respective effects on expected future settlement values. Based on this evaluation, we determined that no change in the estimate was warranted for the period ended September 30, 2019.
AAn aggregate liability of $696$712 million wasis recorded as of December 31, 20162019 to cover the estimated cost of asbestos claims now pending or subsequently asserted through 2059, of which approximately 80%85% is attributable to settlement and defense costs for future claims projected to be filed through 2059. The liability is reduced when cash payments are made in respect of settled claims and defense costs. The liability was $474$696 million as of September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. It is not possible to forecast when cash payments related to the asbestos liability will be fully expended; however, it is expected such cash payments will continue for a number of years past 2059, due to the significant proportion of future claims included in the estimated asbestos liability and the lag time between the date a claim is filed and when it is resolved. None of these estimated costs have been discounted to present value due to the inability to reliably forecast the timing of payments. The current portion of the total estimated liability at September 30,December 31, 2019 was $66and March 31, 2020 is $65 million and represents our best estimate of total asbestos costs expected to be paid during the twelve-month period. Such amount is based upon the actuarial model together with our prior year payment experience for both settlement and defense costs.

We have made our best estimate of the costs through 2059. Through March 31, 2020, our actual experience during the updated reference period for mesothelioma claims filed and dismissed generally approximated the assumptions in our liability estimate. In addition to this claims experience, we considered additional quantitative and qualitative factors such as the nature of the aging of pending claims, significant appellate rulings and legislative developments, and their respective effects on expected future settlement values. Based on this evaluation, we determined that no change in the estimate was warranted for the period ended March 31, 2020.
Insurance Coverage and Receivables. Prior to 2005, a significant portion of our settlement and defense costs were paid by our primary insurers. With the exhaustion of that primary coverage, we began negotiations with our excess insurers to reimburse us for a portion of our settlement and/or defense costs as incurred. To date, we have entered into agreements providing for such

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


reimbursements, known as “coverage-in-place”,“coverage-in-place,” with eleven of our excess insurer groups. Under such coverage-in-place agreements, an insurer’s policies remain in force and the insurer undertakes to provide coverage for our present and future asbestos claims on specified terms and conditions that address, among other things, the share of asbestos claims costs to be paid by the insurer, payment terms, claims handling procedures and the expiration of the insurer’s obligations. Similarly, under a variant of coverage-in-place, we have entered into an agreement with a group of insurers confirming the aggregate amount of available coverage under the subject policies and setting forth a schedule for future reimbursement payments to us based on aggregate indemnity and defense payments made. In addition, with 10ten of our excess insurer groups, we entered into agreements settling all asbestos and other coverage obligations for an agreed sum, totaling $82.5 million in aggregate. Reimbursements from insurers for past and ongoing settlement and defense costs allocable to their policies have been made in accordance with these coverage-in-place and other agreements. All of these agreements include provisions for mutual releases, indemnification of the insurer and, for coverage-in-place, claims handling procedures. With the agreements referenced above, we have concluded settlements with all but onetwo of our solvent excess insurers whosewith policies are expected to respond to the aggregate costs included in the liability estimate. ThatThe first such insurer, which issued a single applicable policy, has been paying for many years the shares of defense and indemnity costs we have allocated to it, subject to a reservation of rights. The second insurer issued a single applicable policy in a layer of coverage that we do not anticipate reaching until many years from now, and, prior to the policy being reached, we anticipate opening a dialogue with that insurer about the execution of a suitable agreement. There are no pending legal proceedings between us and any insurer contesting our asbestos claims under our insurance policies.
In conjunction with developing the aggregate updated liability estimate referenced above, we also developed an updated estimate of probable insurance recoveries for our asbestos liabilities. In developing this estimate, we considered our coverage-in-place and other settlement agreements described above, as well as a number ofseveral additional factors. These additional factors include the financial viability of the insurance companies, the method by which losses will be allocated to the various insurance policies and the years covered by those policies, how settlement and defense costs will be covered by the insurance policies and interpretation of the effect on coverage of various policy terms and limits and their interrelationships.limits. In addition, the timing and amount of reimbursements will vary because our insurance coverage for asbestos claims involves multiple insurers, with different policy terms and certain gaps in coverage. In addition to consulting with legal counsel on these insurance matters, we retained insurance consultants to assist management in the estimation of probable insurance recoveries based upon the aggregate liability estimate described above and assuming the continued viability of all solvent insurance carriers. Based upon the analysis of policy terms and other factors noted above by our legal counsel, and incorporating risk mitigation judgments by us where policy terms or other factors were not certain, our insurance consultants compiled a model indicating how our historical insurance policies would respond to varying levels of asbestos settlement and defense costs and the allocation of such costs between such insurers and us. Using the estimated liability as of December 31, 20162019 (for claims filed or expected to be filed through 2059), the insurance consultant’s model forecasted that approximately 21%14% of the liability would be reimbursed by our insurers. While there are overall limits on the aggregate amount of insurance available to us with respect to asbestos claims, those overallcertain limits were not reached by the total estimated liability currently recorded by us, and such overall limits did not influence us in our determination of the asset amount to record. The proportion of the asbestos liability that is allocated to certain insurance coverage years, however, exceeds the limits of available insurance in those years. We allocate to ourselves the amount of the asbestos liability (for claims filed or expected to be filed through 2059) that is in excess of available insurance coverage allocated to such years. An asset of $143$98 million was recorded as of December 31, 20162019 representing the probable insurance reimbursement for such claims expected through 2059. The asset is reduced as reimbursements and other payments from insurers are received. The asset was $77$94 million as of September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.
We review the aforementioned estimated reimbursement rate with our insurance consultants on a periodic basis in order to confirm overall consistency with our established reserves. The reviews encompass consideration of the performance of the insurers under coverage-in-place agreements and the effect of any additional lump-sum payments under other insurer agreements. Actual insurance reimbursements vary from period to period, and will decline over time, for the reasons cited above.
Uncertainties. Estimation of our ultimate exposure for asbestos-related claims is subject to significant uncertainties, as there are multiple variables that can affect the timing, severity and quantity of claims and the manner of their resolution. We caution that our estimated liability is based on assumptions with respect to future claims, settlement and defense costs based on past

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


experience that may not prove reliable as predictors; the assumptions are interdependent and no single factor predominates in determining the liability estimate. A significant upward or downward trend in the number of claims filed, depending on the nature of the alleged injury, the jurisdiction where filed and the quality of the product identification, or a significant upward or downward trend in the costs of defending claims, could change the estimated liability, as would substantial adverse verdicts at trial that withstand appeal. A legislative solution, structured settlement transaction, or significant change in relevant case law could also change the estimated liability.
The same factors that affect developing estimates of probable settlement and defense costs for asbestos-related liabilities also affect estimates of the probable insurance reimbursements, as do a number of additional factors. These additional factors include the financial viability of the insurance companies, the method by which losses will be allocated to the various insurance

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


policies and the years covered by those policies, how settlement and defense costs will be covered by the insurance policies and interpretation of the effect on coverage of various policy terms and limits and their interrelationships. In addition, due to the uncertainties inherent in litigation matters, no assurances can be given regarding the outcome of any litigation, if necessary, to enforce our rights under our insurance policies or settlement agreements.
Many uncertainties exist surrounding asbestos litigation, and we will continue to evaluate our estimated asbestos-related liability and corresponding estimated insurance reimbursement as well as the underlying assumptions and process used to derive these amounts. These uncertainties may result in our incurring future charges or increases to income to adjust the carrying value of recorded liabilities and assets, particularly if the number of claims and settlement and defense costs change significantly, or if there are significant developments in the trend of case law or court procedures, or if legislation or another alternative solution is implemented. Although the resolution of these claims will likely take many years, the effect on the results of operations, financial position and cash flow in any given period from a revision to these estimates could be material.

Other Contingencies
Environmental Matters

For environmental matters, we record a liability for estimated remediation costs when it is probable that we will be responsible for such costs and they can be reasonably estimated. Generally, third party specialists assist in the estimation of remediation costs. The environmental remediation liability as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 is substantially related to the former manufacturing site in Goodyear, Arizona (the “Goodyear Site”) discussed below.
Goodyear Site
The Goodyear Site was operated by Unidynamics/Phoenix, Inc. (“UPI”), which became an indirect subsidiary in 1985 when we acquired UPI’s parent company, Unidynamics Corporation. UPI manufactured explosive and pyrotechnic compounds, including components for critical military programs, for the U.S. government at the Goodyear Site from 1962 to 1993, under contracts with the Department of Defense and other government agencies and certain of their prime contractors. In 1990, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) issued administrative orders requiring UPI to design and carry out certain remedial actions, which UPI has done. Groundwater extraction and treatment systems have been in operation at the Goodyear Site since 1994. On July 26, 2006, we entered into a consent decree with the EPA with respect to the Goodyear Site providing for, among other things, a work plan for further investigation and remediation activities (inclusive of a supplemental remediation investigation and feasibility study). During the third quarter of 2014, the EPA issued a Record of Decision (“ROD”) amendment permitting, among other things, additional source area remediation resulting in us recording a charge of $49.0 million, extending the accrued costs through 2022. Following the 2014 ROD amendment, we continued our remediation activities and explored an alternative strategy to accelerate remediation of the site. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we received conceptual agreement from the EPA on our alternative remediation strategy which is expected to further reduce the contaminant plume. Accordingly, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $18.9 million, net of reimbursements, to extend our forecast period through 2027 and reflect our revised workplan.  The total estimated gross liability was $26.0$44.2 million as of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, and as described below, a portion is reimbursable by the U.S. Government. The current portion of the total estimated liability was $10.9 million as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and represents our best estimate, in consultation with our technical advisors, of total remediation costs expected to be paid during the twelve-month period.

It is not possible at this point to reasonably estimate the amount of any obligation in excess of our current accruals through the 20222027 forecast period because of the aforementioned uncertainties, in particular, the continued significant changes in the Goodyear Site conditions and additional expectations of remediation activities experienced in recent years.

On July 31, 2006, we entered into a consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice on behalf of the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy pursuant to which, among other things, the U.S. Government reimburses us for 21% of qualifying costs of investigation and remediation activities at the Goodyear Site. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we have recorded a

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


receivable of $6.0$9.7 million for the expected reimbursements from the U.S. Government in respect of the aggregate liability as at that date. The receivable is reduced as reimbursements and other payments from the U.S. Government are received.
Other Environmental Matters
We have been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) with respect to environmental contamination at the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge Superfund Site (the “Crab Orchard Site”). The Crab Orchard Site is located near Marion, Illinois, and consists of approximately 55,000 acres. Beginning in 1941, the United States used the Crab Orchard Site for the production of ordnance and other related products for use in World War II. In 1947, about half of the Crab Orchard Site was leased to a variety of industrial tenants whose activities (which continue to this day) included manufacturing ordnance and explosives. A predecessor of us formerly leased portions of the Crab Orchard Site and conducted manufacturing operations at the Crab Orchard Site from 1952 until 1964. General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems, Inc. (“GD-OTS”) is in the process of conducting a remedial investigation and feasibility study for a portion of the Crab Orchard Site (referred to as the “AUS-OU”), which includes an area where we maintained operations, pursuant to an Administrative Order on Consent. A

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


remedial investigation report was approved in February 2015, and work on the feasibility study is underway. It is unclear when the final feasibility study will be completed, or when a final Record of Decision may be issued.
GD-OTS has asked us to participate in a voluntary, multi-party mediation exercise with respect to response costs it has incurred or will incur with respect to the AUS-OU. We and other PRPs executed a non-binding mediation agreement on March 16, 2015, and the U.S. government executed the mediation agreement on August 6, 2015. The first phase of the mediation, involving certain former munitions or ordnance storage areas, began in November 2017, but did not result in a multi-party settlement agreement. Subsequently, the Companywe entered into discussions directly with GD-OTS and reached an agreement-in-principle with GD-OTS to contribute toward GD-OTS’s past RI-FS costs associated with the first-phase areas for a non-material amount. We have also agreed to pay a modest percentage of future RI-FS costs and the United States’ claimed past response costs relative to the first-phase areas, a sum that we expect in the aggregate to be immaterial. We are awaiting receipt of a draft partial settlement agreement from GD-OTS to memorialize this interim agreement. We understand that GD-OTS has also reached an agreement-in-principle with the U.S. Government and certain other PRPs related to the first-phase areas of concern, and that GD-OTS is negotiating with other PRPs. Following completionNegotiations are underway with respect to resolution of negotiations over the first-phaseremaining areas we expect that discussions will commence regardingof the site, including those portions of the Crab Orchard Site where our predecessor conducted manufacturing and research activities. We understand that a final agreement will not be consummated until mediation has been completed as to all parties and all of the areas of concern at the Crab Orchard Site. We at present cannot predict whether thethese further discussions with GD-OTS,negotiations will result in such a finalan agreement, or when any determination of the ultimate allocable shares of the various PRPs, including the U.S. Government, is likely to be completed. It is not possible at this time to reasonably estimate the total amount of any obligation for remediation of the Crab Orchard Site as a whole because the allocation among PRPs, selection of remediation alternatives, and concurrence of regulatory authorities have not yet advanced to the stage where a reasonable estimate can be made. We notified our insurers of this potential liability and have obtained defense and indemnity coverage, subject to reservations of rights, under certain of our insurance policies.

Other Proceedings
We regularly review the status of lawsuits, claims and proceedings that have been or may be asserted against us relating to the conduct of our business, including those pertaining to product liability, patent infringement, commercial, employment, employee benefits, environmental and stockholder matters. We record a provision for a liability for such matters when it is considered probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions, if any, are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as additional information becomes available. If either or both of the criteria are not met, we assess whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional losses, may have been incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred for such matters, we disclose the estimate of the amount of loss or range of loss, disclose that the amount is immaterial, or disclose that an estimate of loss cannot be made, as applicable. We believe that as of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, there was no reasonable possibility that a material loss, or any additional material losses, may have been incurred for such matters, and that adequate provision has been made in our financial statements for the potential impact of all such matters.

Note 1413 - Fair Value Measurements
Accounting standards define fair value 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. Fair value measurements are to be considered from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. The standards also establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The standards describe three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include over-the-counter derivatives, principally forward foreign exchange contracts, whose value is determined using pricing models with inputs that are generally based on published foreign exchange rates and exchange traded prices, adjusted for other specific inputs that are primarily observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Valuation Technique
The carrying value of our financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value, without being discounted, due to the short periods during which these amounts are outstanding.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


We are exposed to certain risks related to our ongoing business operations, including market risks related to fluctuation in currency exchange. We use foreign exchange contracts to manage the risk of certain cross-currency business relationships to minimize the impact of currency exchange fluctuations on our earnings and cash flows. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments had a notional value of $41.1$41.5 million and $2.1$56.6 million as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. Our derivative assets and liabilities include foreign exchange contract derivatives that are measured at fair value using internal models based on observable market inputs such as forward rates and interest rates. Based on these inputs, the derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Such derivative receivable amounts are recorded within “Other current assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $0.5$1.7 million and $0.1 million as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and less than $0.1 million at December 31, 2018.2019, respectively. Such derivative liability amounts are recorded within “Accrued liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.
The available-for-sale securities, which are included in “Other assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, consist of two rabbi trusts that hold marketable securities for the benefit of participants in the SERP. Available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value using quoted market prices in an active market, and are therefore classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of available-for-sale securities was $1.3$1.2 million and $3.4$1.4 million as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.

The estimated fair value of total debt is measured using Level 2 inputs and was $1,033.9$914.7 million and $977.6$922.3 million as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.
Note 1514 - Restructuring
In 2018,the first quarter of 2020, we recorded a net restructuring chargesgain of $7.2$1.2 million, primarily related to the acquisition of Crane Currency and the 2017 repositioning actions described below.
2019 Repositioning
In the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30,fourth quarter of 2019, we initiated actions to consolidate two manufacturing operations within our Fluid Handling segment. These actions include workforce reductions of approximately 180 employees, or less than 1% of our global workforce. Restructuring charges included $9.9 million of severance costs related to such actions, all of which are cash costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, there were no additional expenses recorded or payments made. We expect to incur additional restructuring and related charges of $1.6$4.8 million in 2020 and $6.1$4.2 million respectively, relatedin 2021 to complete these actions.
Acquisition-Related Restructuring
In 2018, we initiated actions within our Payment & Merchandising Technologies segment related to the closure of Crane Currency’s printing operations in Sweden, which will behave been transitioned to a new print facility in Malta. We expect theseThese actions to result ininclude workforce reductions of approximately 170 employees, or less than 2% of our global workforce.
Restructuring charges included severance and other costs related to such actions, all of which are cash costs. The following table summarizes the restructuring charges inCumulatively, through December 31, 2019, we incurred $6.9 million related to this program, of which $3.3 million were severance costs and cumulatively through September 30, 2019:

2017 Repositioning
During the fourth quarter of 2017, we initiated broad-based repositioning actions designed to improve profitability. These actions include headcount reductions of approximately 300 employees, or about 3% of our global workforce, and select facility consolidations in North America and Europe.

On April 16, 2020, we entered into a new senior unsecured 364-day credit facility (the “364-Day Credit Agreement”). We borrowed term loans denominated in dollars (the “Dollar Term Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to $300 million, and term loans denominated in euros (the “Euro Term Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to €40 million under the 364-Day Credit Agreement. Interest on the Dollar Term Loans accrues at a rate per annum equal to (a) a base rate (determined in a customary manner), plus a margin dependent upon ratings of our senior unsecured long-term debt (the “Index Debt Rating”) or (2) an adjusted LIBO rate (determined in a customary manner) for an interest period to be selected by us, plus a margin dependent upon the Index Debt Rating. Interest on the Euro Term Loans accrues at an adjusted LIBO rate (determined in a customary manner) for an interest period to be selected by us, plus a margin. The 364-Day Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and customary events of default and acceleration for credit facilities of this type.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


OUTLOOK
OverallIn March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, and it
Ourcontinues to spread throughout the United States and other countries across the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and is likely to continue to result, in significant economic disruption and has and will likely adversely affect our business. Significant uncertainty exists concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. While all our facilities are operating as essential businesses, some of our facilities have reduced operating levels and shifts, and further reductions may occur as the impacts from COVID-19 and related responses continue to develop.
Factors deriving from the COVID-19 response that have or may negatively impact sales depend heavilyand operating profit in the future include, but are not limited to: limitations on industries that are cyclical in naturethe ability of our suppliers to manufacture, or are subjectprocure from manufacturers, the products we sell, or to market conditions which may cause customer demand formeet delivery requirements and commitments; limitations on the ability of our employees to perform their work due to illness caused by the pandemic or local, state, or federal orders requiring employees to remain at home; limitations on the ability of carriers to deliver our products to customers; limitations on the ability of our customers to conduct their business and purchase our products and services; and limitations on the ability of our customers to pay us on a timely basis.
Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, while we expect a significant unfavorable impact, the full extent of the COVID-19 pandemic on our ongoing business, results of operations and overall financial performance is very difficult to forecast at this time. For 2020, we now expect sales to decline significantly driven by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by benefits from the I&S and Cummins-Allison acquisitions. At this time, we expect sales to be volatile$2.8 billion to $3.0 billion, reflecting a core sales decline of 17% to 22%. While operating profit in 2020 will benefit from the absence of the 2019 asbestos and unpredictable. Demand in these industries is affected by fluctuations in domestic and international economic conditions,environmental provisions which totaled $247.9 million, as well as currency fluctuations, commodity costs, and a variety of other factors.
For 2019, we expect a total year-over-year sales declinebenefits from incremental cost reduction actions of approximately 2%$100 million, it will be substantially offset by the impact from lower sales volumes related to 3%, driven by a slight core sales decline and unfavorable foreign exchange. We expect an improvement in operating profit, driven primarily by improved productivity and benefits from repositioning actions, and lower acquisition-related and integration charges and restructuring related costs.COVID-19.
Fluid Handling
In 2019,2020, we expect Fluid Handling sales to increase in the low single-digit rangedecline significantly compared to 2018,2019, driven by mid single-digit core sales growth, largelylower demand and supply chain disruptions related to COVID-19, which will only be partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation.
We expectbenefits from the I&S acquisition. These factors will result in lower sales at Process Valves and Related Products, sales to increase in the low single-digit range compared to 2018, driven by a low single-digit core sales increase, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange. Excluding foreign exchange, we expect order rates in 2019 to be similar to order rates in 2018 reflecting sluggish end market activity.
We expect Commercial Valves, sales to be approximately flat compared to 2018, driven by a mid single-digit core growth roughly offset by unfavorable foreign exchange.
We expect Other Products sales to increase in the mid to high single-digit range compared to 2018 driven by growth in the U.S. military, municipal and non-residential construction markets.at Pumps and Systems.
For the segment, we expect an improvementa corresponding decline in both operating profit and operating margin compared to 2018, driven by benefits2019, with the impact from corelower sales growth, strongvolumes more than offsetting productivity, restructuring savingscost reduction actions and lower restructuring and related costs.savings, net.
Payment & Merchandising Technologies
In 2019,2020, we expect Payment & Merchandising Technologies sales to decline in the high single-digit rangebe almost flat compared to 2018,2019, driven by a midbenefits from the Cummins-Allison acquisition almost offset by lower demand and supply chain disruptions related to high single-digit decline in core sales, and a low single-digit impact from unfavorable foreign exchange.the COVID-19 pandemic.
AtIn 2020, we expect both Crane Payment Innovations we expect core sales growth to be positive despite very challenging comparisons in the gaming and retail vertical markets. At Crane Merchandising Systems we expect a modestcore sales will decline in core sales.significantly compared to 2019 due to COVID-19 related factors. At Crane Currency, we expect core sales to declineincrease compared to 2019 driven primarily by the absence ofgrowth in sales to Venezuela in 2018. international customers, partially offset by lower sales to the U.S. Government.
We expect the segment’s operating profit to decrease slightlydecline compared to 2018,2019, driven by the impact of lower sales volume particularly at Crane Currency,and acquisition-related charges, partially offset by substantially lower acquisitionproductivity, cost reduction actions and restructuring costs, along with benefits from repositioning actions and productivity. We expect the segment’s operating margin to increase slightly driven by substantially lower acquisition and restructuring costs, along with benefits from repositioning actions and productivity and a favorable deleverage rate on the decline in sales related to foreign exchange, partially offset by the impact of lower volumes.savings, net.
Aerospace & Electronics
In 2019,2020, we expect Aerospace & Electronics core sales to increase in the mid to high single-digit rangedecline significantly compared to 2018.2019. We expect that commercial market conditions will remain generally positive, and we expect continued sales growthdeclines from our commercial original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) business.OEM customers in response to COVID-19 related factors, as well as the temporary impact of Boeing halting production of the 737 MAX for a portion of 2020. We also expect a significant decline in our commercial aftermarket business driven by substantially reduced airline flight schedules related to COVID-19. We expect a declinegrowth in our defense OEM business because of challenging comparisons from a large ground-based radar programand aftermarket businesses driven by continued government investment in 2018.military applications. We expect aftermarket sales to increase compared to last year. We expecta corresponding decline in segment operating profit and operating margin in 2019 to increase compared to 20182019 driven primarily by the impact of the higher volume, improvedlower volumes, partially offset by productivity and benefits from repositioningcost reduction actions.
Engineered Materials
In 2019,2020, we expect the Engineered Materials segment sales to decline significantly compared to 2018. We expect a decline in sales primarily related to2019, driven by lower recreational vehicle industry build rates. Segmentrates resulting from COVID-19 related factors; as a result, inclusive of cost reduction actions, segment operating profit and operating margin are expected towill decline compared to 2018.2019.

Sales decreased by $83.5$33.8 million, or 9.8%4.1%, to $772.3$797.9 million in 2019.2020. Net sales related to operations outside the United States were 35.7%35.9% and 37.0%35.0% of total net sales for the quartersthree months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively. The year-over-year change in sales included:
a decrease in core sales of $69.3$80.3 million, or 8.2%;9.7%, partially due to lower demand and supply chain disruptions related to COVID-19, combined with the expected decline in Crane Currency sales to the U.S. Government;
unfavorable foreign currency translation of $12.3$7.1 million, or 1.4%0.8%; and
a decreasean increase in sales related to an impacta benefit from divestituresacquisitions of $1.9$53.6 million, or 0.2%6.4%.
Operating profit decreased by $14.6$25.1 million, or 11.8%22.1%, to $109.3$88.6 million in 2019.2020. The decrease in operating profit reflected the lower operating profit in each of our Payment & Merchandising Technologies and Engineered Materials segments, partially offset by higher operating profit in our Fluid Handling and Aerospace & Electronics segments and lower Corporate costs. Operating profit in the thirdfirst quarter of 2019 included 1) restructuring and related charges of $4.2 million; and 2) acquisition-related and integration charges of $0.2 million. Operating profit in the third quarter of 20182020 included 1) acquisition-related and integration charges of $2.1$5.2 million and 2) restructuring and related charges, net of $0.1 million. Operating profit in the first quarter of 2019 included 1) acquisition-related and integration charges of $1.1 million in connection with the acquisition of Crane Currency;Currency and 2) acquisition-related inventory and backlog amortization of $0.3 million associated with the acquisition of Crane Currency; and 3) restructuring and related charges of $6.6$5.0 million.
Other expense increased $9.5 million, or 155.7% primarily reflecting a higher net periodic pension expense. The increase in pension expense resulted from a non-service pension cost adjustment related to a reduction in expected pension returns.
Our effective tax rate is affected by a number of items, both recurring and discrete, including the amount of income we earn in different jurisdictions and their respective statutory tax rates, acquisitions and dispositions, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in tax laws, regulations and accounting principles, the continued availability of statutory tax credits and deductions, the continued reinvestment of our overseas earnings, and examinations initiated by tax authorities around the world.
Our tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 is higher than the prior year’s comparable periodperiods primarily due to a balance sheet tax account adjustment recorded in 2018 after we finalized certain calculations related to U.S. tax reform enacted December 2017.



MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Our tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 is higher than the statutory U.S. federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to earnings in jurisdictions with statutory tax rates higher than the U.S. and U.S. state taxes,lower share-based compensation benefits, partially offset by excess share-based compensation benefits and thea higher statutory U.S. deduction related to our non-U.S. subsidiaries’ income.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, comprehensive income before allocations to noncontrolling interests was $41.9 million compared to $91.6 million in the same period of 2018. The $49.7 million decrease was driven by a $25.5 million year over year unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation adjustments primarily reflecting fluctuations in the British pound, euro and Canadian dollar and lower net income before allocation to noncontrolling interests of $24.5 million.

Fluid Handling sales decreased by $2.6 million, or 0.9%, to $276.1 million in 2019, driven by unfavorable foreign currency translation of $6.7 million, or 2.4%, and loss of sales related to a divestiture of $0.1 million, partially offset by an increase in core sales of $4.2 million, or 1.5%.

Sales of Process Valves and Related Products decreased by $5.4 million, or 3.2%, to $163.3 million in 2019. The decrease reflected unfavorable foreign currency translation of $3.5 million, or 2.1%, as the euro weakened against the U.S. dollar and lower core sales of $1.9 million, or 1.1%. The core sales decrease primarily reflected weaker sales to the power vertical market.
Sales of Commercial Valves increased by $2.6 million, or 3.0%, to $88.8 million in 2019, primarily driven by a core sales increase of $5.9 million, or 6.7%, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation of $3.2 million, or 3.7%, as the British pound and Canadian dollar weakened against the U.S. dollar and the loss of sales related to a divestiture of $0.1 million. The core sales increase primarily reflected higher sales to the Canadian non-residential construction markets.
Sales of Other Products increased by $0.2 million, or 0.8%, to $24.0 million in 2019.
Fluid Handling operating profit increased by $5.0 million, or 16.4%, to $35.4 million in 2019. The increase primarily reflected productivity savings, repositioning benefits and $2.9 of lower restructuring and related charges, partially offset by the impact from lower sales volume and unfavorable sales mix.
The Fluid Handling segment backlog was $272.1 million as of September 30, 2019, compared with $279.6 million as of December 31, 2018 and $297.7 million as of September 30, 2018.

Sales decreased by $60.2 million, or 2.4%, to $2,445.6 million in 2019. Net sales related to operations outside the United States were 35.4% and 37.4% of total net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The year-over-year change in sales included:
unfavorable foreign currency translation of $48.5 million, or 1.9%;
a decrease in core sales of $15.4 million, or 0.6%; and
an increase in sales related to a benefit from acquisitions, net of $3.7 million, or 0.1%.
Operating profit increased by $14.6 million, or 4.4%, to $345.8 million in 2019. The increase in operating profit reflected the higher operating profit in our Aerospace & Electronics and Fluid Handling segments, partially offset by lower operating profit in our Payment & Merchandising Technologies and Engineered Materials segments and higher Corporate costs. Operating profit in the first nine months of 2019 included 1) restructuring and related charges of $15.4 million and 2) acquisition-related and integration charges of $3.7 million. Operating profit in the first nine months of 2018 included 1) acquisition-related and integration charges of $11.3 million in connection with the acquisition of Crane Currency; 2) acquisition-related inventory and backlog amortization of $8.8 million, primarily associated with the acquisition of Crane Currency; and 3) restructuring and related charges of $9.1 million associated with previously announced repositioning actions.
Other expense increased $5.0 million, or 20.7%. The increase was primarily related to lower interest expense and lower net periodic pension benefit related to our defined benefit plans, partially offset by a realized gain recognized on marketable securities. The lower pension net periodic benefit primarily reflected a non-service pension cost adjustment related to a reduction in expected pension returns.
Our effective tax rate is affected by a number of items, both recurring and discrete, including the amount of income we earn in different jurisdictions and their respective statutory tax rates, acquisitions and dispositions, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in tax laws, regulations and accounting principles, the continued availability of statutory tax credits and deductions, the continued reinvestment of our overseas earnings, and examinations initiated by tax authorities around the world.

Our tax rate for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019 is higher than the prior year’s comparable period primarily due to a balance sheet tax account adjustment recorded in 2018 after we finalized certain calculations related to U.S. tax reform enacted December 2017.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Our tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 is higher than the statutory U.S. federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to earnings in jurisdictions with statutory tax rates higher than the U.S. and U.S. state taxes, partially offset by excess share-based compensation benefits and the statutory U.S. deduction related to our non-U.S. subsidiaries’ income.

Our operating philosophy is to deploy cash provided from operating activities, when appropriate, to provide value to shareholders by reinvesting in existing businesses, by making acquisitions that will strengthen and complement our portfolio, by divesting businesses that are no longer strategic and by paying dividends and/or repurchasing shares.
On April 16, 2020, to enhance financial flexibility and maintain maximum liquidity in response to the uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we entered into a new senior unsecured 364-day credit facility (the “364-Day Credit Agreement”). We borrowed term loans denominated in dollars in an aggregate principal amount equal to $300 million, and term loans denominated in euros in an aggregate principal amount equal to €40 million under the 364-Day Credit Agreement. Our current cash balance, together with cash we expect to generate from future operations (inclusive of actions we are taking to reduce costs and spending across our organization, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic) along with our commercial paper program or borrowings available under our revolving credit facility and 364-Day Credit Agreement, is expected to be sufficient to finance our short- and long-term capital requirements, as well as to fund payments associated with our asbestos and environmental liabilities and expected pension contributions. In addition, we believe our investment grade credit ratings afford us adequate access to public and private debt markets.
In 2018, we increased the size of our commercial paper program to permit the issuance of commercial paper notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $550 million at any time outstanding. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program.
Operating Activities
Cash provided byused for operating activities was $171.0$35.5 million in the first ninethree months of 2019,2020, compared to $222.4$100.4 million during the same period last year.  The decrease in cash provided byused for operating activities was primarily driven by higherlower working capital requirements principally due to significant cash receipts from Venezuela in 2018 that did not repeat in 2019, partially offset by a decrease in pension and post retirement contributions.lower sales. Net asbestos-related payments in the first ninethree months of 2020 and 2019 and 2018 were $29.0$11.7 million and $46.4$9.7 million, respectively. In 2019,2020, we expect to make payments related to asbestos settlement and defense costs, net of related insurance recoveries, of approximately $50 million. We have chosen to defer contributions of $18.2 million until January 1, 2021 as permitted by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which was signed into law on March 27, 2020.
Investing Activities
Cash flows relating to investing activities consist primarily of cash used for acquisitions and capital expenditures. Cash used for investing activities was $48.7$177.4 million in the first ninethree months of 2019,2020, compared to $722.3$20.0 million in the comparable period of 2018.2019. The decreaseincrease in cash used for investing activities was driven by the absence of net cash paid in 2018 of $648.0 million for the acquisition of Crane Currency and, to a lesser extent,I&S of $172.0 million, partially offset by lower capital expenditures compared to the priorsame period last year. Capital expenditures are made primarily for increasing capacity, replacing equipment, supporting new product development and improving information systems. WeAs it relates to COVID-19, we expect to defer certain capital expenditures and now expect to reduce the amount by $30 million to $45 million in 2020 from the previously disclosed amount of approximately $80 million in 2019, reflecting $30 million of capital requirements resulting from Crane Currency, as well as continued investments in new product development initiatives, primarily in our Aerospace & Electronics, Payment & Merchandising Technologies and Fluid Handling segments.$75 million.
Financing Activities
Financing cash flows consist primarily of dividend payments to shareholders, share repurchases, repayments of indebtedness, proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and commercial paper and proceeds from the issuance of common stock. Cash used forprovided by financing activities was $69.0$134.3 million during the first ninethree months of 2019,2020, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $129.0$33.3 million in the comparable period of 2018.2019. The increase in cash usedprovided by financing activities was driven by lower debt proceeds netreceived from the issuance of repayments of $205.7 millioncommercial paper and $9.9 million of lower proceeds from stock option exercises,borrowings under our revolving credit facility, partially offset by the absence of $25.0$70.0 million of additional cash used for the repurchase of shares in 2018.the first quarter of 2020.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Information regarding
The following represents a material change in our risk factors appearsfrom those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of Crane Co.’sour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. 2019.

Our financial condition and results of operations are expected to be adversely affected by the recent coronavirus pandemic.

The novel strain of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic is expected to have an adverse impact on our operations and financial performance, as well as on the operations and financial performance of many of the customers and suppliers in industries that we serve. We are unable to predict the extent to which the pandemic and related impacts will have on our business operations, financial performance, results of operations, and financial position.

We believe our operations and financial performance will be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic which is expected to cause a global slowdown of economic activity (including a decrease in demand for a broad variety of goods and services), disruptions in global supply chains and significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. Because the severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic consequences are uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict, we are unable to predict the extent of the pandemic’s impact on our operations and financial performance. Further, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial performance depends on many factors that are not within our control, including, but not limited, to: governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic (including shutdown orders, border closings, restrictions on travel and transport and workforce pressures); the impact of the pandemic and actions taken in response on global and regional economies, travel, and economic activity; general economic uncertainty in key global markets and financial market volatility; global economic conditions and levels of economic growth; commodity prices such as oil and gas, and the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.

We expect lower demand and volume for products and services, customer requests for potential payment deferrals and other contract modifications including price concessions, supply chain disruptions, delays of deliveries and other factors related directly and indirectly to the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect that the longer the period of economic and global supply chain and disruption continues, the more adverse the impact will be on our business operations, financial performance and results of operations.

As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our operations evolves, we will continue to assess our liquidity needs. A continued worldwide disruption could materially affect our future access to our sources of liquidity, particularly our cash flows from operations and access to credit markets, which could impact our financial condition, capitalization, and capital investments. In the event of a sustained market deterioration, we may need additional liquidity, which would require us to evaluate available alternatives and take appropriate actions. Additionally, a prolonged period of generating lower cash flows from operations could adversely affect our financial condition and the achievement of our strategic objectives. Conditions in the financial and credit markets may also limit the availability of funding or increase the cost of funding, which could adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations.
