Firm commercial and general aviation backlog includes orders for which we have definitive purchase contracts and the estimated sales value to be realized under firm agreements to purchase future aircraft maintenance and overhaul services. Firm backlog includes fixed, firm contracts that have not been shipped and for which cancellation is not anticipated.

Aircraft manufacturers, such as Airbus and Boeing, may have firm orders for commercial aircraft that are in excess of the number of units covered under their firm contracts with us. We believe it is reasonable to expect that we will continue to provide products and services to these aircraft in the same manner as those under firm contract. Our unobligated commercial and general aviation backlog includes the expected sales value for our product on the aircraft manufacturers’ firm orders for commercial aircraft in excess of the amount included in our firm commercial and general aviation backlog.

Firm defense and space backlog represents the estimated remaining sales value of work to be performed under firm contracts for which the funding has been approved by the U.S. Congress, as well as commitments by international customers that are similarly funded and approved by their governments. Unobligated defense and space backlog represents the estimated remaining sales value of work to be performed under firm contracts for which funding has not been appropriated. Indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts are not reported in backlog.

Backlog may be subject to delivery delays or program cancellations that are beyond our control. Firm backlog approximated $4.8 billion at December 31, 2010.

Raw Materials and Components

We purchase a variety of raw materials and components for use in the manufacture of our products, including aluminum, titanium, steel, various specialty metals and carbon fiber. In some cases we rely on sole-source suppliers for certain of these raw materials and components, and a delay in delivery of these materials and components could create difficulties in meeting our production and delivery obligations. We continue to experience margin and cost pressures in some of our businesses due to increased market prices and limited availability of some raw materials, such as titanium, steel and various specialty metals. We have taken actions to address these market dynamics, including securing long-term supply contracts for titanium, and believe we currently have adequate sources of supply for raw materials and components.

Environmental

We are subject to various U.S. and international environmental laws and regulations which may require that we investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations, including sites at which we have been identified as a potentially responsible party under the federal Superfund laws and comparable state laws. We currently are involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of sites under these laws. For additional information concerning environmental matters, see “Item 3. Legal Proceedings — Environmental”.

Research and Development

We perform research and development under company-funded programs for commercial products and under contracts with customers. Research and development under contracts with others is performed on both defense and commercial products. Total research and development expenses in 2011, 2010 and 2009 were approximately $247 million, $247 million and $239 million, respectively. These amounts are net of approximately $119 million, $85 million and $101 million, respectively, which were funded by customers.

Intellectual Property

We own or are licensed to use various intellectual property rights, including patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets. While such intellectual property rights are important to us, we do not believe that the loss of any individual property right or group of related rights would have a material adverse effect on our overall business or on any of our business segments.

Seasonality

Our large commercial, regional, business and general aviation airplane aftermarket market channel is moderately seasonal because certain of our customers maintain busy flight schedules from late November through December. Historically, this has resulted in some sales in this market channel being postponed from the fourth quarter into the first quarter of the following year.

Working Capital

Our working capital is influenced by the following factors:

 

   

New commercial aircraft development;

 

   

Aircraft production rate changes by OE manufacturers;

 

   

Levels of aircraft utilization, age of aircraft in the fleets and types of aircraft utilized by airlines; and

 

   

Levels of defense spending by governments worldwide.

Our working capital is currently at a high level relative to sales primarily due to introductions of new airplane models such as the Boeing 787 and 747-8 and the Airbus A350 XWB, and new engine types such as the Pratt and Whitney PurePower PW 1000G.

Human Resources

As of December 31, 2011, we employed approximately 28,000 people, of which approximately 17,000 were employed in the U.S. and approximately 11,000 people were employed in other countries. We believe that we have good relationships with our employees. Hourly employees who are unionized are covered by collective bargaining agreements with a number of labor unions and with varying contract termination dates through 2016. Approximately 18% of our global labor force is covered by collective bargaining arrangements and approximately 9% of our global labor force is covered by collective bargaining arrangements that will expire within one year. There were no material work stoppages during 2011.

International Operations

We are engaged in business worldwide. We market our products and services through sales subsidiaries and distributors in various countries. We also have international joint venture agreements.

Currency fluctuations, tariffs and similar import limitations, price controls and labor regulations can affect our foreign operations, including foreign affiliates. Other potential limitations on our foreign operations include expropriation, nationalization, restrictions on foreign investments, or their transfers, and additional political and economic risks. In addition, the transfer of funds from foreign operations could be impaired by the inability to exchange the local currency to the U.S. dollar or other restrictive regulations that foreign governments could enact.

For financial information about our U.S. and foreign sales and assets, see Note 4, “Business Segment Information” to our consolidated financial statements.

 

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

Our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows can be affected by a number of factors, including but not limited to those set forth below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, any one of which could cause our actual results to vary materially from recent results or from our anticipated future results.

Our future success is dependent on demand for and market acceptance of new commercial and military aircraft programs.

We are currently under contract to supply components and systems for a number of new commercial, general aviation and military aircraft programs, including the Airbus A380, A350 XWB and A320neo, the Boeing 787, 747-8 and 737 MAX, the Bombardier CSeries, the Mitsubishi Regional Jet, the Dassault Falcon 7X and the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. We have made and will continue to make substantial investments and incur substantial development costs in connection with these programs. We cannot provide assurance that each of these programs will enter full-scale production as expected or that demand for each aircraft will be sufficient to allow us to recover our investment in these programs. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to extend our contracts relating to these programs beyond the initial contract periods. If any of these programs are not successful, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The market segments we serve are cyclical and sensitive to domestic and foreign economic considerations that could adversely affect our business and financial results.

The market segments in which we sell our products are, to varying degrees, cyclical, and have experienced periodic downturns in demand. For example, certain of our commercial aviation products sold to aircraft manufacturers have experienced downturns during slowdowns in the commercial airline industry and during periods of weak general economic conditions, as demand for new aircraft typically declines during these periods. Aftermarket demand for many of our products also is exposed to these business downturns and we have experienced periods of declining demand for our products from aircraft operators in the recent past and may experience downturns in the future.

Table of Contents

Capital spending by airlines and aircraft manufacturers may be influenced by a variety of factors including current and predicted traffic levels, load factors, aircraft fuel pricing, labor issues, competition, the retirement of older aircraft, regulatory changes, terrorism and related safety concerns, general economic conditions, worldwide airline profitability and backlog levels. Also, because a substantial portion of commercial airplane OE deliveries are scheduled beyond 2011, changes in economic conditions may cause customers to request that firm orders be rescheduled or canceled. Aftermarket sales and service trends are affected by similar factors, including usage, pricing, regulatory changes, the retirement of older aircraft and technological improvements that increase reliability and performance. Credit availability to airlines and airline leasing companies also could impact the demand for new aircraft. A reduction in spending by aircraft manufacturers, airlines, airline customers or airline leasing companies could have a significant effect on the demand for our products, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Current conditions in the airline industry could adversely affect our business and financial results.

Increases in fuel costs, global economic conditions, high labor costs and heightened competition from low cost carriers have adversely affected the financial condition of some commercial airlines. Over the past ten years, several airlines have declared bankruptcy. A portion of our sales are derived from the sale of products directly to airlines, and we sometimes provide sales incentives to airlines and record sales incentives as other assets. If an airline declares bankruptcy, we may be unable to collect our outstanding accounts receivable from the airline and we may be required to record a charge related to unamortized sales incentives to the extent they cannot be recovered.

A significant decline in business with Airbus or Boeing could adversely affect our business and financial results.

For the year 2011, approximately 18% of our direct and indirect sales were made to Airbus and approximately 15% of our direct and indirect sales were made to Boeing for all categories of products, including OE and aftermarket products for commercial and military aircraft and space applications. Accordingly, a significant reduction in purchases by either of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Demand for our defense and space-related products is dependent upon government spending.

Approximately 30% of our sales for the year 2011 were derived from the defense and space market segment. Included in that category are direct and indirect sales to the U.S. Government, which represented approximately 23% of our sales for 2011. The defense and space market segment is largely dependent upon government budgets, particularly the U.S. defense budget. We cannot assure you that an increase in defense spending will be allocated to programs that would benefit our business. Moreover, we cannot assure you that new military aircraft programs in which we participate will enter full-scale production as expected. A change in levels of defense spending or levels of military flight operations could curtail or enhance our prospects in this market segment, depending upon the programs affected.

Our business could be adversely affected if we are unable to obtain necessary raw materials and components.

We purchase a variety of raw materials and components for use in the manufacture of our products, including aluminum, titanium, steel, various specialty metals and carbon fiber. Our inability to obtain necessary raw materials or an unanticipated increase in the price of such raw materials could impact our capability to manufacture our products and the profitability of our products. In addition, the loss of a significant supplier or the inability of a supplier to meet our performance and quality specifications or delivery schedules could affect our ability to complete our contractual obligations to our customers on a satisfactory, timely and/or profitable basis. These events may adversely affect our operating results, result in the termination of customer contracts or damage our reputation and relationships with our customers. All of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Table of Contents

We use a number of estimates in accounting for some long-term contracts. Changes in our estimates could materially affect our future financial results.

We account for sales and profits on some long-term contracts in accordance with the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, using the cumulative catch-up method to account for updates in estimates. The percentage-of-completion method of accounting involves the use of various estimating techniques to project revenues and costs at completion and various assumptions and projections relative to the outcome of future events, including the quantity and timing of product deliveries, future labor performance and rates, and material and overhead costs. These assumptions involve various levels of expected performance improvements. Under the cumulative catch-up method, the impact of updates in our estimates related to units shipped to date is recognized immediately.

Because of the significance of the judgments and estimates described above, it is likely that we could record materially different amounts if we used different assumptions or if the underlying circumstances or estimates were to change. Accordingly, updates in underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates may materially affect our future financial performance.

Competitive pressures may adversely affect our business and financial results.

The aerospace industry in which we operate is highly competitive. We compete worldwide with a number of U.S. and foreign companies that are both larger and smaller than we are in terms of resources and market share, and some of which are our customers. While we are the market and technology leader in many of our products, in certain areas some of our competitors may have more extensive or more specialized engineering, manufacturing or marketing capabilities and lower manufacturing cost. As a result, these competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or may be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can.

The significant consolidation occurring in the aerospace industry could adversely affect our business and financial results.

The aerospace industry in which we operate has been experiencing significant consolidation among suppliers, including us and our competitors, and our customers. There have been mergers and global alliances in the aerospace industry to achieve greater economies of scale and enhanced geographic reach. Aircraft manufacturers have made acquisitions to expand their product portfolios to better compete in the global marketplace. In addition, aviation suppliers have been consolidating and forming alliances to broaden their product and integrated system offerings and achieve critical mass. This supplier consolidation is in part attributable to aircraft manufacturers and airlines more frequently awarding long-term sole source or preferred supplier contracts to the most capable suppliers, thus reducing the total number of suppliers from whom components and systems are purchased. Our business and financial results may be adversely impacted as a result of consolidation by our competitors, customers or suppliers.

Expenses related to employee and retiree medical and pension benefits may continue to rise.

We have periodically experienced significant increases in expenses related to our employee and retiree medical and pension benefits. Although we have taken action seeking to contain these cost increases, including making material changes to some of these plans, there are risks that our expenses will rise as a result of continued increases in medical costs due to increased usage of medical benefits and medical cost inflation. Pension expense may increase if investment returns on our pension plan assets do not meet our long-term return assumption, if there are reductions in the discount rate used to determine the present value of our benefit obligation, or if other actuarial assumptions are not realized.

The aerospace industry is highly regulated.

The aerospace industry is highly regulated in the U.S. by the Federal Aviation Administration and in other countries by similar regulatory agencies. We must be certified by these agencies and, in some cases, by

individual OE manufacturers in order to engineer and service systems and components used in specific aircraft models. If material authorizations or approvals were revoked or suspended, our operations would be adversely affected. New or more stringent governmental regulations may be adopted, or industry oversight heightened, and we may incur significant expenses to comply with any new regulations or any heightened industry oversight.

We may have liabilities relating to environmental laws and regulations that could adversely affect our financial results.

We are subject to various domestic and international environmental laws and regulations which may require that we investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations. We currently are involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of sites for which we have been identified as a potentially responsible party under these laws. Based on currently available information, we do not believe that future environmental costs in excess of those accrued with respect to such sites will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. We cannot assure you that additional future developments, administrative actions or liabilities relating to environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and/or cash flows in a given period.

In connection with the divestiture of our tire, vinyl and other businesses, we received contractual rights of indemnification from third parties for environmental and other claims arising out of the divested businesses. If these third parties do not honor their indemnification obligations to us, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and/or cash flows.

Any material product liability claims in excess of insurance may adversely affect us.

We are exposed to potential liability for personal injury or death with respect to products that have been designed, manufactured, serviced or sold by us, including potential liability for asbestos and other toxic tort claims. While we believe that we have substantial insurance coverage available to us related to such claims, our insurance may not cover all liabilities. Additionally, insurance coverage may not be available in the future at a reasonable cost. Any material liability not covered by insurance or for which third-party indemnification is not available could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.

Any material product warranty obligations may adversely affect us.

Our operations expose us to potential liability for warranty claims made by third parties with respect to aircraft components that have been designed, manufactured, distributed or serviced by us. Any material product warranty obligations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.

Our operations depend on our production facilities and our suppliers’ production facilities throughout the world. These production facilities are subject to physical and other risks that could disrupt production.

Our production facilities and those of our suppliers could be damaged or disrupted by a natural disaster, labor strike, war, political unrest, terrorist activity or a pandemic. Although we have obtained property damage and business interruption insurance for our production facilties, a major catastrophe such as an earthquake or other natural disaster at any of our sites, or significant labor strikes, work stoppages, political unrest, war or terrorist activities in any of the areas where we conduct operations, could result in a prolonged interruption of our business. Any disruption resulting from these events could cause significant delays in shipments of products and the loss of sales and customers. We cannot assure you that we will have insurance to adequately compensate us for any of these events.

We have significant international operations and assets and are therefore subject to additional financial and regulatory risks.

We have operations and assets throughout the world. In addition, we sell our products and services outside of the U.S. and seek to increase our level of international business activity. Accordingly, we are subject to various risks, including: U.S.-imposed embargoes of sales to specific countries; foreign import controls (which may be arbitrarily imposed or enforced); price and currency controls; exchange rate fluctuations; dividend remittance restrictions; expropriation of assets; war, civil uprisings and riots; government instability; the necessity of obtaining governmental approval for new and continuing products and operations; legal systems of decrees, laws, taxes, regulations, interpretations and court decisions that are not always fully developed and that may be retroactively or arbitrarily applied; and difficulties in managing a global enterprise. We also may be subject to unanticipated income taxes, excise duties, import taxes, export taxes or other governmental assessments. Any of these events could result in a loss of business or other unexpected costs that could reduce our sales or profits and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.

We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include transactions denominated in foreign currencies and the translation of certain non-functional currency balances of our subsidiaries. Our international operations also expose us to translation risk when the local currency financial statements are translated to U.S. Dollars, our reporting currency. As currency exchange rates fluctuate, translation of the statements of income of international businesses into U.S. Dollars will affect comparability of revenues and expenses between years.

Certain of our contracts could subject us to losses in the event we experience cost overruns.

At the time we bid for business on OE manufacturers (OEM) platforms, we must make certain assumptions with respect to our estimated costs and expenditures in developing, manufacturing and selling our products. In certain cases, these contracts involve new technologies or applications and extend for many years. As a result, it often is difficult to predict the ultimate costs and expenditures associated with these contracts. Factors such as technological difficulties, fluctuations in raw material prices and supplier problems can lead to cost overruns, resulting in the contractual price becoming less profitable or even unprofitable. Any inability to accurately predict the costs associated with our contracts could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows in a particular period.

Our headquarters is in Charlotte, North Carolina. We lease approximately 120,000 square feet under a lease that extends through May 2018, with two additional consecutive five-year options. The offices provide space for our corporate and segment headquarters.

Approximately 290,000 square feet of the Birmingham, England facility is leased to Aero Engine Controls, in which we have a 50% interest.

We and our subsidiaries are lessees under a number of cancelable and non-cancelable leases for real properties, used primarily for administrative, maintenance, repair and overhaul of aircraft, aircraft wheels and brakes and evacuation systems and warehouse operations.

In the opinion of management, our principal properties, whether owned or leased, are suitable and adequate for the purposes for which they are used and are suitably maintained for such purposes. See Item 3, “Legal Proceedings-Environmental” for a description of proceedings under applicable environmental laws regarding some of our properties.

 

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings

In connection with the Merger Agreement with UTC, eleven putative class-action complaints were filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York relating to the Merger. Nine of these complaints were filed in the County of New York: Rice v. Goodrich Corp., et al., Index No. 652619/2011, New Jersey Carpenters Annuity Fund v. Goodrich Corp., et al., Index No. 652637/2011, Louisiana Municipal Police Employees’ Retirement Sys. v. Goodrich Corp., et al., Index No. 652649/2011, Pill v. Goodrich Corp., et al., Index No. 652655/2011, IUE-CWA Local 475 Pension Plan v. Goodrich Corp., et al., Index No. 652661/2011, Mass. Laborers’ Pension Fund v. Goodrich Corp., et al., Index No. 652664/2011, Pifko v. Goodrich Corp., et al., Index No. 11111146, Ruschel v. Goodrich Corp., et al., Index No. 652695/2011, and Astor BK Realty Trust v. Larsen, et al., Index No. 652706/2011. Two additional putative class-action complaints were filed in Nassau County: Casey v. Larsen, et al., Index No. 13699/2011, and Minneapolis Retail Meat Cutters and Food Handlers Pension Fund v. Goodrich Corp., et al., Index No. 14366/2011. On November 7, 2011, upon plaintiffs’ motions, all eleven actions were consolidated into In re Goodrich Shareholders Litigation, Index No. 13699/2011 in the Supreme Court for Nassau County and, on November 9, plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint (Consolidated Complaint) in that court.

Table of Contents

The Consolidated Complaint purports to be brought on behalf of a putative class of Goodrich shareholders and names Goodrich, its directors, UTC and a merger subsidiary as defendants. The Consolidated Complaint generally alleges that, in approving the proposed transaction, the Goodrich directors breached their fiduciary duties of care, loyalty, good faith and fair dealing owed to the putative class. The Consolidated Complaint further alleges that UTC, the merger subsidiary and Goodrich aided and abetted the Goodrich directors in the breach of their fiduciary duties. In addition to damages, the Consolidated Complaint seeks, among other things, injunctive relief barring the named defendants from consummating the Merger, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs. Goodrich and its directors believe that these consolidated lawsuits and the underlying claims are without merit.

The parties to the consolidated action have reached an agreement in principle, which is intended to resolve all issues in this litigation. On February 6, 2012, the parties entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) memorializing the key terms of that agreement. Pursuant to the MOU, Goodrich has made various additional disclosures in its Definitive Proxy Statement related to the Merger, and UTC agreed to forebear from exercising certain rights under the Merger Agreement.

The effect of UTC’s forbearance is to shorten the period of written notice Goodrich must give to UTC prior to making a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating the Merger Agreement pursuant to its Section 8.1(c) in light of a Company Superior Proposal (as those terms are defined in the Merger Agreement) from five calendar days to three business days, and the period of prior written notice Goodrich must give to UTC of its intention to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate the Merger Agreement in light of any change to the financial or other material terms of a subsequent Company Superior Proposal from the longer of (i) three business days or (ii) the period remaining under the initial five calendar-day notice, to the longer of (i) two business days or (ii) the period remaining under the initial three business-day notice.

The MOU will not affect the merger consideration to be paid to shareholders of Goodrich pursuant to the Merger Agreement or the timing of the special meeting of Goodrich’s shareholders scheduled for March 13, 2012 to vote upon a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. The settlement is subject to approval by the New York Supreme Court for Nassau County.

General

There are various pending or threatened claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings against us or our subsidiaries, arising in the ordinary course of business, which seek remedies or damages. Although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of these matters, we believe that any liability that may finally be determined with respect to commercial and non-asbestos product liability claims should not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Legal costs are expensed when incurred.

Environmental

We are subject to environmental laws and regulations which may require that we investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations. At certain sites we have been identified as a potentially responsible party under the federal Superfund laws and comparable state laws. We are currently involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of sites under applicable laws.

Estimates of our environmental liabilities are based on current facts, laws, regulations and technology. These estimates take into consideration our prior experience and professional judgment of our environmental specialists. Estimates of our environmental liabilities are further subject to uncertainties regarding the nature and extent of site contamination, the range of remediation alternatives available, evolving remediation standards, imprecise engineering evaluations and cost estimates, the extent of corrective actions that may be required and the number and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties, as well as the extent of their responsibility for the remediation.

Table of Contents

Accordingly, as investigation and remediation proceed, it is likely that adjustments in our accruals will be necessary to reflect new information. The amounts of any such adjustments could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in a given period. Based on currently available information, however, we do not believe that future environmental costs in excess of those accrued with respect to sites for which we have been identified as a potentially responsible party are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Environmental liabilities are recorded when the liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable, which generally is not later than at completion of a feasibility study or when we have recommended a remedy or have committed to an appropriate plan of action. The liabilities are reviewed periodically and, as investigation and remediation proceed, adjustments are made as necessary. Liabilities for losses from environmental remediation obligations do not consider the effects of inflation and anticipated expenditures are not discounted to their present value. The liabilities are not reduced by possible recoveries from insurance carriers or other third parties, but do reflect anticipated allocations among potentially responsible parties at federal Superfund sites or similar state-managed sites, third party indemnity obligations or contractual obligations, and an assessment of the likelihood that such parties will fulfill their obligations at such sites.

The changes in the carrying amount of environmental remediation obligations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, in millions, are as follows:

 

Balance at December 31, 2010

   $ 67.7   

Accruals and adjustments

     5.4   

Payments

     (8.2

Foreign currency translation and other

     3.4   
  

 

 

 

Balance at December 31, 2011

   $ 68.3   
  

 

 

 

At December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $13.3 million and $14.6 million, respectively, of the accrued liability for environmental remediation were included in current liabilities. At December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $32.8 million and $27.3 million, respectively, was associated with ongoing operations and $35.5 million and $40.4 million, respectively, was associated with previously owned businesses.

We expect that we will expend present accruals over many years, and will generally complete remediation in less than 30 years at sites for which we have been identified as a potentially responsible party. This period includes operation and monitoring costs that are generally incurred over 15 to 25 years.

Certain states in the U.S. and countries globally are promulgating or proposing new or more demanding regulations or legislation impacting the use of various chemical substances by all companies. We continue to evaluate the potential impact, if any, of new regulations and legislation.

Asbestos

We and some of our subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various actions by plaintiffs alleging damages as a result of exposure to asbestos fibers in products or at formerly owned facilities. We believe that pending and reasonably anticipated future actions are not likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. There can be no assurance, however, that future legislative or other developments will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in a given period.

Insurance Coverage

We maintain a comprehensive portfolio of insurance policies, including aviation products liability insurance which covers most of our products. The aviation products liability insurance typically provides first dollar coverage for defense and indemnity of third party claims.

A portion of our primary and excess layers of pre-1986 insurance coverage for third party claims, primarily related to certain long-tail toxic tort and environmental claims, was provided by certain insurance carriers

who are either insolvent, undergoing solvent schemes of arrangement or in run-off. We have entered into settlement agreements with a number of these insurers pursuant to which we agreed to give up our rights with respect to certain insurance policies in exchange for negotiated payments. These settlements represent negotiated payments for our loss of insurance coverage, as we no longer have this insurance available for claims that may have qualified for coverage. The portion of these payments which related to recovery of past costs (recognized as expense in prior periods) or for which there are currently no anticipated future claims is recognized in income when the payments are received. The portion related to potential future claims is recorded as deferred settlement credits on the balance sheet.

The deferred settlement credits partially offset future costs related to insurable claims utilizing a systematic and consistent approach. The recognition of the deferred settlement credits is calculated utilizing the estimated percent of costs incurred in the current period that insurance companies would have reimbursed to us if insurance coverage were still in place. This approach utilizes our historical claims and insurance information and is reviewed and updated at least annually.

A summary of the deferred settlement credits activity for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, in millions, is as follows:

 

Balance at December 31, 2010

   $ 48.6   

Proceeds from insurance settlements

     0.5   

Amounts recorded as reduction of costs

     (5.6
  

 

 

 

Balance at December 31, 2011

   $ 43.5   
  

 

 

 

The current and long-term portions of the deferred settlement credits were as follows:

 

      December 31,
2011
     December 31,
2010
 
     (Dollars in millions)  

Accrued expenses

   $ 7.2       $ 5.7

     36.3         42.9   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Total

   $ 43.5       $ 48.6   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

It is not practical to estimate when the remaining deferred settlement credits are expected to be recognized. The proceeds from such insurance settlements were reported as a component of net cash provided by operating activities in the period payments were received.

Liabilities of Divested Businesses

In connection with the divestitures of our tire, vinyl, engineered industrial products and other businesses, we have received contractual rights of indemnification from third parties for environmental, asbestos and other claims arising out of the divested businesses. Failure of these third parties to honor their indemnification obligations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.

Tax

We are continuously undergoing examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS), as well as various state and foreign jurisdictions. The IRS and other taxing authorities routinely challenge certain deductions and credits reported by us on our income tax returns.

Tax Years 2007 and 2008

In January 2011, the IRS issued a Revenue Agent’s Report (RAR) for the tax years 2007 and 2008. In February 2011, we submitted a protest to the Appeals Division of the IRS with respect to certain unresolved issues which involve the proper timing of deductions. Although it is reasonably possible that these matters could be resolved during the next 12 months, the timing or ultimate outcome is uncertain.

Table of Contents

Tax Years 2005 and 2006

During 2009, the IRS issued a RAR for the tax years 2005 and 2006. In July 2009, we submitted a protest to the Appeals Division of the IRS with respect to certain unresolved issues which involve the proper timing of deductions. Although it is reasonably possible that these matters could be resolved during the next 12 months, the timing or ultimate outcome is uncertain.

Tax Years 2000 to 2004

During 2007, we reached agreement with the IRS on substantially all of the issues raised with respect to the examination of taxable years 2000 to 2004. We submitted a protest to the Appeals Division of the IRS with respect to the remaining unresolved issues which involve the proper timing of certain deductions. We were unable to reach agreement with the IRS on the remaining issues. In December 2009, we filed a petition in the U.S. Tax Court and in March 2010 we also filed a complaint in the Federal District Court. On January 18, 2012, the District Court granted the government’s motion for partial summary judgment in this matter. Final judgment in the District Court case cannot be entered until the remaining issues are resolved. It is our intent to appeal the ruling once final judgment is entered. We believe the amount of the estimated tax liability if the IRS were to ultimately prevail is fully reserved. We cannot predict the timing or ultimate outcome of a final resolution.

Tax Years Prior to 2000

The previous examination cycle included the consolidated income tax groups for the audit periods identified below:

 

Coltec Industries Inc. and Subsidiaries

   December, 1997 — July, 1999 (through date of acquisition)

Goodrich Corporation and Subsidiaries

   1998 — 1999 (including Rohr, Inc. (Rohr) and Coltec)

We previously reached final settlement with the IRS on all but one of the issues raised in this examination cycle. We received statutory notices of deficiency dated June 14, 2007 related to the remaining unresolved issue which involves the proper timing of certain deductions. We filed a petition with the U.S. Tax Court in September 2007 to contest the notices of deficiency.

In December 2010, we reached a tentative agreement with the IRS to settle the remaining unresolved issue but due to the size of the potential refund, the agreement required approval by the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT). In January 2011, the JCT approved the terms of the settlement agreement. In March 2011, the U.S. Tax Court accepted the terms of the settlement agreement and agreed to the litigants’ request to dismiss the matter. We recognized a tax benefit of approximately $21 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Rohr was examined by the State of California for the tax years ended July 31, 1985, 1986 and 1987. The State of California disallowed certain expenses incurred by one of Rohr’s subsidiaries in connection with the lease of certain tangible property. California’s Franchise Tax Board held that the deductions associated with the leased equipment were non-business deductions. In addition, California audited our amended tax returns filed to reflect the changes resulting from the settlement of the U.S. Tax Court for Rohr’s tax years 1986 to 1997. California issued an assessment based on numerous issues including proper timing of deductions and allowance of tax credits. In October 2010, a comprehensive settlement was reached with the California Tax Board addressing all issues for tax years 1985 through 2001. We recognized a tax benefit of approximately $23 million in the three months ended December 31, 2010.

YOU SHOULD READ THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS DOCUMENT.

THIS MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. SEE “FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO RISK AND UNCERTAINTY” FOR A DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN OF THE UNCERTAINTIES, RISKS AND ASSUMPTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE STATEMENTS.

UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED HEREIN, DISCLOSURES PERTAIN ONLY TO OUR CONTINUING OPERATIONS.

OVERVIEW

We are one of the largest worldwide suppliers of aerospace components, systems and services to the commercial and general aviation airplane markets. We are also a leading supplier of systems and products to the global defense and space markets. Our business is conducted globally with manufacturing, service and sales undertaken in various locations throughout the world. Our products and services are principally sold to customers in North America, Europe and Asia.

On September 21, 2011 we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement) with United Technologies Corporation (UTC). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, we will be acquired by UTC in a cash-for-stock transaction (Merger). We have agreed to various covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among other things, to conduct our business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the time of the Merger. We expect the consummation of the Merger to occur in mid-2012; therefore, we have not provided sales, earnings and cash flow guidance for the full year 2012. See Note 1, “Goodrich Merger Agreement with United Technologies Corporation” to our consolidated financial statements.

Key Market Channels for Products and Services, Growth Drivers and Industry and our Highlights

We participate in three key market channels: commercial, regional, business and general aviation airplane original equipment (OE); commercial, regional, business and general aviation airplane aftermarket; and defense and space.

Commercial, Regional, Business and General Aviation Airplane OE

Commercial, regional, business and general aviation airplane OE includes sales of products and services for new airplanes produced by Airbus and Boeing, and regional, business and small airplane manufacturers.

The key growth drivers in this market channel include the number of orders for the manufacturers’ airplanes, which will be delivered to their customers over a period of several years, OE manufacturer production and delivery rates for in-service airplanes such as the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737NG, and introductions of new airplane models such as the Boeing 787, 747-8 and 737 MAX, the Airbus A350 XWB and A320neo, and engine types such as the Pratt and Whitney PurePower™ PW1000G.

We have significant sales content on most of the airplanes manufactured in this market channel. Over the last few years, we have benefited from the historically high production rates and deliveries of Airbus and Boeing airplanes and from our substantial content on many of the regional and general aviation airplanes. Boeing and Airbus have announced production rate increases for 2012 and beyond. However, production rates are always subject to change and may be affected by economic conditions which may influence customers’ willingness and/or ability to purchase new aircraft.

Commercial, Regional, Business and General Aviation Airplane Aftermarket

The commercial, regional, business and general aviation airplane aftermarket channel includes sales of products and services for existing commercial and general aviation airplanes, primarily to airlines and package carriers around the world.

 

19


Table of Contents

We have significant product content on most of the airplane models that are currently in service and we will benefit from having excellent positions on the newer, more fuel-efficient airplanes currently in service. The key growth drivers in this channel include worldwide passenger capacity growth measured by Available Seat Miles (ASM) and the size, type and utilization levels of the worldwide airplane fleet. Other important factors affecting growth in this market channel are the age and types of the airplanes in the fleet, fuel prices, airline maintenance practices, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) trends in countries and regions around the world and domestic and international air freight activity.

Capacity in the global airline system, as measured by ASM, is expected to grow in 2012 as compared to 2011. ASM expectations could be adversely affected if airlines choose to fly their in-service airplanes less frequently, or temporarily ground airplanes due to decreased demand, high fuel prices and other factors including weaker than expected global economic growth.

Defense and Space

Worldwide defense and space sales include sales to prime contractors such as Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, the U.S. Government and foreign companies and governments.

The key growth drivers in this channel include the level of defense spending by the U.S. and foreign governments, the number of new platform starts, the level of military flight operations, the level of upgrade, overhaul and maintenance activities associated with existing platforms and demand for optical surveillance and reconnaissance systems. Due to worldwide defense budget concerns, including in the U.S., we expect pressure on the level of spending over the next several years.

The market for our defense and space products is global and is not dependent on any single program, platform or customer. We anticipate fewer new fighter and transport aircraft platform starts over the next several years. We also anticipate that the introduction of the F-35 Lightning II and new helicopter platforms, along with upgrades on existing defense and space platforms, will provide long-term growth opportunities in this market channel. Additionally, we are participating in, and developing new products for, the expanding intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance sector, which should further strengthen our position in this market channel.

Long-term Sustainable Growth

We believe we are well positioned to grow our sales over the long-term due to:

 

   

Awards for key products on important new and expected programs, including the Airbus A350 XWB and A320neo, the Boeing 787, 747-8 and 737 MAX, the Pratt & Whitney PurePower® PW1000G engine and the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II;

 

   

The large installed base on commercial airplanes and our strong positions on newer, more fuel-efficient airplanes, which should fuel sustained long-term aftermarket strength;

 

   

Balance in the commercial airplane market, with strong sales to Airbus, Boeing and the regional and business jet airplane manufacturers;

 

   

Aging of the existing large commercial and regional airplane fleets, which should result in increased aftermarket support;

 

   

Increased number of long-term agreements for product and service sales on new and existing commercial airplanes;

 

   

Increased opportunities for aftermarket growth due to airline outsourcing;

 

   

Growth in global maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) opportunities for our systems and components, particularly in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, where we have expanded our capacity; and

 

   

Expansion of our product offerings in support of key areas in the defense and space market channel, such as helicopter products and systems, ISR products and precision guidance systems for munitions.

For a reconciliation of total segment operating income to total operating income, see Note 4, “Business Segment Information” to our consolidated financial statements.

Sales

The sales increase in 2011 as compared to 2010 was driven by changes in our major market channels as follows:

 

   

Large commercial airplane original equipment sales increased by approximately $337 million, or 18%;

 

   

Regional, business and general aviation airplane original equipment sales increased by approximately $179 million, or 42%, of which approximately 20% represented organic growth;

 

   

Large commercial, regional, business and general aviation airplane aftermarket sales increased by approximately $318 million, or 15%, of which approximately 13% was organic growth; and

 

   

Defense and space sales of both original equipment and aftermarket products and services increased by approximately $224 million, or 10%, of which approximately 6% represented organic growth.

Segment operating income

See discussion in the “Business Segment Performance” section.

Corporate general and administrative costs

Corporate general and administrative costs increased primarily due to higher incentive and share-based compensation expense and unfavorable foreign exchange, partially offset by reductions in discretionary spending.

Other income (expense) — net

Other income (expense) — net decreased for 2011 as compared to 2010, primarily as a result of:

 

   

A 2010 net loss of $34.9 million related to the redemption of all our senior notes due in 2012 and higher income of approximately $8 million in 2011 from equity in affiliated companies; partially offset by

 

   

Merger related expenses of approximately $18 million in 2011.

Lower pension and postretirement benefits expense

The decrease in pension and postretirement benefits expense was primarily due to the result of actuarial changes, including the change in the amortization period for gains and losses for our U.S. salaried plan; the benefit of $471 million in contributions that were made in 2010 and favorable returns on our plan assets in 2010, partially offset by unfavorable plan assumption changes.

Changes in estimates on long-term contracts

During 2011 and 2010, we updated our estimates on certain of our long-term contracts, primarily in our aerostructures and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems (ISR) businesses, which resulted in higher income of approximately $10 million in 2011 compared to 2010. Changes in estimates increased pre-tax income by $108.1 million and $98 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. These changes were primarily related to favorable cost and operational performance, changes in volume expectations and sales pricing improvements and finalization of contract terms on current and/or follow-on contracts.

Higher effective tax rate

For 2011, we reported an effective tax rate of 29.7% as compared to 27.4% for 2010. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in domestic income which was taxed at a higher effective tax rate. In 2011 and 2010, the effective tax rates were reduced by a tax settlement with the IRS for the remaining unresolved issues for tax years prior to 2000 and a comprehensive settlement with the California Tax Board addressing all issues for tax years 1985 to 2001, respectively. The 2010 effective tax rate included a $10 million charge due to the enactment of health care reform legislation in the U.S.

Higher share-based compensation

The increase in share-based compensation was primarily due to a higher grant date fair value for our restricted stock units and stock options and the favorable change in our share price during 2011 for awards paid in cash. The significant share price increase was primarily related to the Merger Agreement entered into by us with UTC. This increase in the share price resulted in approximately $18 million of additional compensation cost during 2011. The Merger Agreement prohibits us from granting new awards pursuant to employee share-based compensation plans after September 21, 2011 (except under certain conditions in the event the Merger is not consummated prior to August 31, 2012). See Note 1, “Goodrich Merger Agreement with United Technologies Corporation” and Note 6, “Share-Based Compensation” to our consolidated financial statements.

Landing gear plant closure costs

During 2011, we incurred $20.1 million of costs related to the announced closure of a facility in our landing gear business due to declining program volumes. We will close the facility and incur substantially all of the costs by the end of 2012. See Note 4, “Business Segment Information” to our consolidated financial statements.

Merger related expenses

During 2011, we incurred $18.2 million of costs related to the announced Merger Agreement with UTC, primarily investment bank fees, legal costs and other filing fees and expenses. See Note 1, “Goodrich Merger Agreement with United Technologies Corporation” to our consolidated financial statements.

Microtecnica acquisition-related costs

During 2011, we acquired Microtecnica and incurred $8.4 million of acquisition-related costs, including foreign currency costs associated with pre-positioning cash to execute the acquisition.

Changes in estimates on long-term contracts

During 2010 and 2009, we updated our estimates on certain of our long-term contracts, primarily in our aerostructures and aircraft wheels and brakes businesses, which resulted in higher income of approximately $53 million compared to 2009. These changes were primarily related to favorable cost and operational performance, changes in volume expectations and sales pricing improvements and finalization of contract terms on current and/or follow-on contracts.

Lower pension and postretirement benefits expense

The decrease in pension and postretirement benefits expense was primarily due to the timing of plan contributions in 2010, favorable actuarial experience and the favorable return on our plan assets in 2009, partially offset by a lower discount rate for our U.S. plans.

Foreign exchange

The net favorable foreign exchange was primarily due to the following:

 

   

Approximately $17 million of lower net losses on cash flow hedges settled during 2010; partially offset by

 

   

Approximately $9 million of unfavorable foreign currency translation of net costs in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar.

Higher share-based compensation

The increase in share-based compensation was primarily due to the higher grant date fair value for our restricted stock units and stock options.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

We are engaged in business worldwide. Our significant international manufacturing and service facilities are located in Australia, Canada, China, England, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Northern Ireland, Mexico, Poland, Scotland, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates. We market our products and services through sales subsidiaries and distributors in various countries. We also have international joint venture agreements.

Currency fluctuations, tariffs and similar import limitations, price controls and labor regulations can affect our foreign operations, including foreign affiliates. Other potential limitations on our foreign operations include expropriation, nationalization, restrictions on foreign investments, or their transfers, and additional political and economic risks. In addition, the transfer of funds from foreign operations could be impaired by the inability to exchange the local currency to the U.S. dollar or other restrictive regulations that foreign governments could enact.

Sales to non-U.S. customers were $4,073 million or 50% of total sales, $3,455 million or 50% of total sales and $3,387 million or 51% of total sales for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We currently expect to fund expenditures for capital requirements and other liquidity needs from a combination of cash, internally generated funds and financing arrangements. We believe our internal liquidity, together with access to external capital resources, will be sufficient to satisfy existing plans and commitments, and also provide adequate financial flexibility due to our strong balance sheet, lack of any large near-term funding requirements and a strong banking group with a committed credit facility.

Table of Contents

The following events have affected our liquidity and capital resources during 2011:

 

   

We repurchased 1 million shares for $84 million under our share repurchase program;

 

   

We contributed approximately $119 million to our worldwide pension and postretirement benefit plans through December 31, 2011;

 

   

We paid a quarterly dividend of $0.29 per share on April 1, July 1 and October 3;

 

   

On May 12, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Microtecnica, a leading provider of flight control actuation systems for helicopter, regional and business aircraft, missile actuation, and aircraft thermal and environmental control systems, for $457.1 million, net of cash acquired. Microtecnica is reported in the Actuation and Landing Systems segment;

 

   

On May 20, 2011, we entered into a new five-year unsecured committed syndicated revolving credit facility, which permits borrowings up to a maximum of $700 million. In connection with entering into the new facility, we terminated our $500 million unsecured committed syndicated revolving credit facility that otherwise would have expired in May 2012. The new credit facility expires in May 2016;

 

   

On September 30, 2011, we acquired Winslow for $49.5 million in cash, net of cash acquired. Winslow is reported in the Nacelles and Interior Systems segment; and

 

   

On October 27, 2011, we renewed our registration statement that allows us to issue debt securities, series preferred stock, common stock, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units.

Cash

We had cash and cash equivalents of $987 million and $798.9 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, of which $253.6 million and $189 million, respectively, was held at non U.S. locations. We would need to accrue and pay taxes if certain amounts held at non U.S. locations were repatriated. We currently do not intend to repatriate these funds.

Credit Facilities

We have the following amounts available under our credit facilities:

 

   

$700 million committed global revolving credit facility that expires in May 2016, of which $650.7 million was available at December 31, 2011; and

 

   

$75 million of uncommitted domestic money market facilities, of which $37.4 million was available at December 31, 2011, and $154.8 million of uncommitted and committed foreign working capital facilities with various banks to meet short-term borrowing and documentary credit requirements, of which $129.5 million was available at December 31, 2011.

Long-Term Financing

At December 31, 2011, we had long-term debt and capital lease obligations, including current maturities, of $2,376 million, with maturities ranging from 2012 to 2046. There are no material maturities of long-term debt or capital lease obligations occurring until 2016. We also maintain a shelf registration statement that allows us to issue debt securities, series preferred stock, common stock, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Lease Commitments

We lease certain of our office and manufacturing facilities, machinery and equipment and corporate aircraft under various committed lease arrangements provided by financial institutions. Future minimum lease payments under operating leases were $218.9 million at December 31, 2011.

Derivatives

We utilize certain derivative financial instruments to enhance our ability to manage risk, including foreign currency and interest rate exposures that exist as part of ongoing business operations as follows:

 

   

Foreign Currency Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges:    At December 31, 2011, our contracts had a notional amount of $1,933.7 million, fair value of a $6.5 million net liability and maturity dates ranging from January 2012 to December 2016. The amount of accumulated other comprehensive income that would be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months is a loss of $0.2 million. During 2011, 2010 and 2009 we realized a net gain of $11.5 million and net losses of $32.2 million and $49.6 million, respectively, related to contracts that settled.

 

   

Foreign Currency Contracts not Designated as Hedges:    At December 31, 2011, we had no contracts outstanding. During 2011, 2010 and 2009, we realized net losses of $17 million, $26.2 million and net gains of $9.8 million, respectively, for contracts entered into and settled during those periods.

Estimates of the fair value of our derivative financial instruments represent our best estimates based on our valuation models, which incorporate industry data and trends and relevant market rates and transactions. Counterparties to these financial instruments expose us to credit loss in the event of nonperformance; however, we do not expect any of the counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. Counterparties, in most cases, are large commercial banks that also provide us with our committed credit facilities. To manage this credit risk, we select counterparties based on credit ratings, limit our exposure to any single counterparty and monitor our market position with each counterparty.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments

The following table reflects our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of December 31, 2011. Commercial commitments include lines of credit, guarantees and other potential cash outflows resulting from a contingent event that requires performance by us pursuant to a funding commitment.

(1) As of December 31, 2011, we had in place a committed syndicated revolving credit facility which expires in May 2016 and permits borrowing up to a maximum of $700 million; $75 million of uncommitted domestic money market facilities; and $154.8 million of uncommitted and committed foreign working capital facilities. As of December 31, 2011, we had borrowing capacity under our committed syndicated revolving credit facility of $650.7 million.

 

(2) Purchase obligations include an estimated amount of agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on us and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, minimum or variable price provisions and the approximate timing of the purchase.

 

(3) Includes participation payments of approximately $131 million for aircraft component delivery programs, most of which is to be paid by 2019.

The table excludes our pension and other postretirement benefits obligations. Worldwide pension contributions were $91.4 million and $444.1 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. These contributions include both voluntary and required employer contributions, as well as pension benefits paid directly by us. Of these amounts, $30.3 million and $392 million were contributed to the qualified U.S. pension plans in 2011 and 2010, respectively. We expect to make pension contributions of approximately $150 million to $200 million to our worldwide pension plans during 2012. Our postretirement benefits other than pensions are not required to be funded in advance, so benefit payments, including medical costs and life insurance, are paid as they are incurred. We made postretirement benefit payments other than pension, net of the Medicare Part D subsidy, of $27.5 million and $27.2 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. We expect to make net payments of approximately $28 million during 2012. See Note 13, “Pensions and Postretirement Benefits” of our consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of our pension and postretirement other than pension plans.

Since we cannot predict with reasonable reliability the timing of cash settlements to the respective taxing authorities, the table also excludes our liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $162.7 million as of December 31, 2011.

CASH FLOW

Year Ended December 31, 2011 as Compared to December 31, 2010

Operating Activities of Continuing Operations

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities in 2011 primarily consisted of higher cash flow from operations and lower pension contributions. Pension and postretirement benefit contributions were $119.4 million and $471.3 million for 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Investing Activities of Continuing Operations

Net cash used by investing activities for 2011 and 2010 included capital expenditures of $317.5 million and $222.3 million, respectively. In addition, we paid cash in 2011, net of cash acquired, of $457.1 million for Microtecnica and $49.5 for Winslow. We paid cash in 2010, net of cash acquired, of $51.7 million for Crompton Technology Group, Ltd. (CTG) and $281 million for the cabin management assets of DeCrane.

 

33


Table of Contents

We expect capital expenditures in 2012 to be approximately $400 million which reflect ongoing investments to support the current delivery rates for in-service airplanes, introductions of new airplane models and engine types, facility expansions and competitive cost country manufacturing and productivity initiatives.

Financing Activities of Continuing Operations

The increase in net cash used in financing activities for 2011 was primarily due to lower net proceeds from the issuance and repayments of long-term debt, partially offset by lower purchases of our common stock in connection with our share repurchase program and lower dividend payments as the dividend declared in the fourth quarter of 2010 was paid on December 30, 2010.

Our share repurchase program was initially approved by the Board of Directors on October 24, 2006 and increased by the Board on February 19, 2008, to $600 million in total. On February 15, 2011, the Board approved an additional increase to $1.1 billion in total. The primary purpose of the program is to reduce dilution to existing shareholders from our share-based compensation plans. Repurchases under the program may be made through open market or privately negotiated transactions at times and in such amounts as we deem appropriate, subject to market conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors. Our share repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any particular amount of common stock and no time limit was set for completion of the program. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. As of December 31, 2011, we have repurchased approximately 9.8 million shares for approximately $621 million at an average price of $63.16 per share.

Year Ended December 31, 2010 as Compared to December 31, 2009

Operating Activities of Continuing Operations

Net cash provided by operating activities was $142 million lower in 2010 as compared to 2009. Pension contributions were higher in 2010 as compared to 2009 by $203 million and income taxes paid were higher by approximately $104 million. These higher payments were partially offset by lower working capital requirements of approximately $139 million.

Investing Activities of Continuing Operations

Net cash used by investing activities for 2010 and 2009 included capital expenditures of $222 million and $169 million, respectively. In addition, we paid cash in 2010, net of cash acquired, of $57.1 million for CTG and $281 million for the cabin management assets of DeCrane. We paid cash in 2009, net of cash acquired, of $29.2 million for Cloud Cap Technology, Inc. and $362.2 million for AIS Global Holdings LLC.

Financing Activities of Continuing Operations

The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities for 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily due to:

 

   

The redemption of our $257,460,000 principal amount 7.625% senior notes due in 2012. We paid a premium of $37.4 million in connection with the redemption;

 

   

Higher purchases of our common stock of approximately $156 million in connection with our share repurchase program; and

 

   

Higher dividends paid of approximately $48 million; partially offset by

 

   

Higher proceeds from the issuance of our common stock of approximately $59 million, primarily from the exercise of stock options under our share-based compensation awards; and

 

   

Higher net short term borrowings of approximately $36 million.

CONTINGENCIES

See Note 16, “Contingencies”, to our consolidated financial statements.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED

We do not expect the adoption of new accounting standards in 2012 to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. See Note 3, “New Accounting Standards”, to our consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to customer programs and incentives, product returns, bad debts, inventories, investments, goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes, financing obligations, warranty obligations, excess component order cancellation costs, restructuring, long-term service contracts, share-based compensation, pensions and other postretirement benefits, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Contract Accounting-Percentage of Completion

We have sales under long-term contracts, many of which contain escalation clauses, requiring delivery of products over several years and frequently providing the buyer with option pricing on follow-on orders. Sales and profits on each contract are recognized in accordance with the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, primarily using the units-of-delivery method. We use the cumulative catch-up method in accounting for changes in estimates. Under the cumulative catch-up method, the impact of changes in estimates related to units shipped to date is recognized immediately when changes in estimated contract profitability are known. Amounts representing contract claims or change orders are considered in estimating revenues, costs and profits when they can be reliably estimated and realization is considered probable.

Estimates of revenue and cost for our contracts span a period of many years from the inception of the contracts to the date of actual shipments and are based on a substantial number of underlying assumptions. We believe that the underlying factors are sufficiently reliable to provide a reasonable estimate of the profit to be generated. However, due to the significant length of time over which revenue streams will be generated, the variability of the assumptions of the revenue and cost streams can be significant if the factors change. The factors include but are not limited to estimates of the following:

 

   

Escalation of future sales prices under the contracts;

 

   

Ability to recover costs incurred for change orders and claims;

 

   

Costs, including material and labor costs and related escalation;

 

   

Labor improvements due to the learning curve experience;

 

   

Anticipated cost productivity improvements, including overhead absorption, related to new, or changes to, manufacturing methods and processes;

 

   

Supplier pricing, including escalation where applicable, potential supplier claims, the supplier’s financial viability and the supplier’s ability to perform;

 

35

The cost impact of product design changes that frequently occur during the flight test and certification phases of a program; and

 

   

Effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations.

Inventory

Inventoried costs on long-term contracts include certain pre-production costs, consisting primarily of tooling and design costs and production costs, including applicable overhead. The costs attributed to units delivered under long-term commercial contracts are based on the estimated average cost of all units expected to be produced and are determined under the learning curve concept, which anticipates a predictable decrease in unit costs as tasks and production techniques become more efficient through repetition. During the early years of a contract, manufacturing costs per unit delivered are typically greater than the estimated average unit cost for the total contract. This excess manufacturing cost for units shipped results in an increase in inventory (referred to as “excess-over-average”) during the early years of a contract. See Note 9, “Inventories”, to our consolidated financial statements.

If in-process inventory plus estimated costs to complete a specific contract exceed the anticipated remaining sales value of such contract, such excess is charged to cost of sales in the period identified, thus reducing inventory to its estimated realizable value. Progress payments and advances are classified as a reduction of inventory when they represent non-refundable payments for work-in-process and cash received from government customers where the government has legal title to the work-in-process.

Unbilled Receivables

Our aerostructures business is party to a long-term supply arrangement whereby we receive cash payments for our performance over a period that extends beyond our performance period of the contract. The contract is accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method of contract accounting. Unbilled receivables include revenue recognized that will be realized from cash payments to be received beyond the period of performance. In estimating our revenues to be received under the contract, cash receipts that are expected to be received beyond the performance period are included at their present value as of the end of the performance period.

Product Maintenance Arrangements

We have entered into long-term product maintenance arrangements to provide specific products and services to customers for a specified amount per flight hour, brake landing and/or aircraft landings. Revenue is recognized as the service is performed and the costs are incurred. We have sufficient historical evidence that indicates that the costs of performing the service under the contract are incurred on other than a straight line basis.

Income Taxes

As of each reporting period, we estimate an effective income tax rate that is expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. In addition, we establish reserves for uncertain tax positions and record interest (net of any applicable tax benefit) on potential tax contingencies as a component of our tax expense. The estimate of our effective income tax rate involves significant judgments regarding the application of complex tax regulations across many jurisdictions and estimates as to the amount and jurisdictional source of income expected to be earned during the full fiscal year. Further influencing this estimate are evolving interpretations of new and existing tax laws, rulings by taxing authorities and court decisions. Due to the subjective and complex nature of these underlying issues, our actual effective tax rate and related tax liabilities may differ from our initial estimates. Differences between our estimated and actual effective income tax rates and related liabilities are recorded in the period they become known. The resulting adjustment to our income tax expense could have a material effect on our results of operations in the period the adjustment is recorded.

Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually, or when an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is reasonably possible that an impairment may exist. Our annual testing date is November 30. Qualitative factors are assessed to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units is less than the net book value. Based upon the qualitative assessment as of our November 30, 2011 testing date, we determined that our goodwill was not impaired.

Impairments of identifiable intangible assets are recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or related groups of assets may not be recoverable, and our estimate of undiscounted cash flows over the assets’ remaining useful lives is less than the carrying value of the assets. The determination of undiscounted cash flow is based on our segments’ long-term strategic plans. The revenue growth is based upon aircraft build projections from aircraft manufacturers and widely available external publications. The profit margin assumption is based upon the current cost structure and anticipated cost reductions. Changes to these assumptions could result in the recognition of impairment.

Other Assets

As with any investment, there are risks inherent in recovering the value of participation payments, sales incentives and flight certification costs. Such risks are consistent with the risks associated with acquiring a revenue-producing asset in which market conditions may change or the risks that arise when a manufacturer of a product on which a royalty is based has business difficulties and cannot produce the product. Such risks include but are not limited to the following:

 

   

Changes in market conditions that may affect product sales under the program, including market acceptance and competition from others;

 

   

Performance of subcontract suppliers and other production risks;

 

   

Bankruptcy or other less significant financial difficulties of other program participants, including the aircraft manufacturer, the OEM and other program suppliers or the aircraft customer; and

 

   

Availability of specialized raw materials in the marketplace.

Participation Payments

Certain of our businesses make cash payments under long-term contractual arrangements to OEM or system contractors in return for a secured position on an aircraft program. Participation payments are capitalized, when a contractual liability has been incurred, as other assets and amortized as a reduction to sales, as appropriate. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the carrying amount of participation payments was $175.8 million and $116.7 million, respectively. The carrying amount of participation payments is evaluated for recovery at least annually or when other indicators of impairment exist, such as a change in the estimated number of units or a revision in the economics of the program. If such estimates change, amortization expense is adjusted and/or an impairment charge is recorded, as appropriate, for the effect of the revised estimates. No such impairment charges were recorded in 2011, 2010 or 2009. See Note 15, “Supplemental Balance Sheet Information” to our consolidated financial statements.

Sales Incentives

We offer sales incentives such as up-front cash payments, merchandise credits and/or free products to certain airline customers in connection with sales contracts. The cost of these incentives is recognized in the period incurred unless recovery of these costs is specifically guaranteed by the customer in the contract. If the contract contains such a guarantee, then the cost of the sales incentive is capitalized as other assets and amortized to cost of sales, or as a reduction to sales, as appropriate. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the carrying amount of sales incentives was $62.7 million and $55.6 million, respectively. The carrying amount of sales incentives is evaluated for recovery when indicators of potential impairment exist. The carrying value of the sales incentives is also compared annually to the amount recoverable under

 

37


Table of Contents

the terms of the guarantee in the customer contract. If the amount of the carrying value of the sales incentives exceeds the amount recoverable in the contract, the carrying value is reduced. No significant impairment charges were recorded in 2011, 2010 or 2009. See Note 15, “Supplemental Balance Sheet Information” to our consolidated financial statements.

Flight Certification Costs

When a supply arrangement is secured, certain of our businesses may agree to supply hardware to an OEM to be used in flight certification testing and/or make cash payments to reimburse an OEM for costs incurred in testing the hardware. The flight certification testing is necessary to certify aircraft systems/components for the aircraft’s airworthiness and allows the aircraft to be flown and thus sold in the country certifying the aircraft. Flight certification costs are capitalized in other assets and are amortized to cost of sales, or as a reduction to sales, as appropriate. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the carrying amount of flight certification costs was $47 million and $42.8 million, respectively. The carrying amount of flight certification costs is evaluated for recovery when indicators of impairment exist or when the estimated number of units to be manufactured changes. No such impairment charges were recorded in 2011, 2010 or 2009. See Note 15, “Supplemental Balance Sheet Information” to our consolidated financial statements.

Service and Product Warranties

We provide service and warranty policies on certain of our products. We accrue liabilities under service and warranty policies based upon specific claims and a review of historical warranty and service claim experience. Adjustments are made to accruals as claim data and historical experience change. In addition, we incur discretionary costs to service our products in connection with product performance issues. Our service and product warranty reserves are based upon a variety of factors. Any significant change in these factors could have a material impact on our results of operations. Such factors include but are not limited to the following:

 

   

The historical performance of our products and changes in performance of newer products;

 

   

The mix and volumes of products being sold; and

 

   

The impact of product changes.

Share-Based Compensation

We utilize the fair value method of accounting to account for share-based compensation awards. See Note 6, “Share-Based Compensation”, to our consolidated financial statements.

As described in Note 1, “Goodrich Merger Agreement with United Technologies Corporation”, to our consolidated financial statements, the Merger Agreement prohibits us from granting new awards pursuant to employee share-based compensation plans after September 21, 2011 (except under certain conditions in the event the Merger is not consummated prior to August 31, 2012).

Assumptions

Stock Options

We use the Black-Scholes-Merton formula to estimate the expected value that our employees will receive from the options based on a number of assumptions, such as interest rates, employee exercises, our stock price and expected dividend yield. Our weighted-average assumptions included:

 

     2011      2010      2009  

Risk-free interest rate %

     2.2         2.9         1.8   

Expected dividend yield %

     1.3         1.6         2.6   

Historical volatility factor %

     35.6         35.0         33.3   

Weighted-average expected life of the options (years)

     5.6         5.7         5.6   

 

38


Table of Contents

The expected life is a significant assumption as it determines the period for which the risk-free interest rate, historical volatility and expected dividend yield must be applied. The expected life is the period over which our employees are expected to hold their options. It is based on our historical experience with similar grants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the expected U.S. Treasury rate over the expected life. Historical volatility reflects movements in our stock price over the most recent historical period equivalent to the expected life. Expected dividend yield is based on the stated dividend rate as of the date of grant.

Restricted Stock Units

The fair value of the restricted stock units is determined based upon the average of the high and low grant date fair value. The weighted-average grant date fair value was $88.63, $65.46 and $38.39 per unit during 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Performance Units

The value of each award is determined based upon the average of the high and low price of our stock on the last day of each reporting period, as adjusted for a performance condition and a market condition. The performance condition is applied to 50% of the awards and is based upon our actual return on invested capital (ROIC) as compared to a target ROIC. The market condition is applied to 50% of the awards and is based on our relative total shareholder return (RTSR) as compared to the RTSR of a peer group of companies. Since the awards will be paid in cash, they are recorded as a liability award and are marked to market each reporting period. As such, assumptions are evaluated for each award on an ongoing basis.

Due to the significant increase in our share price, primarily due to the Merger Agreement entered into by us with UTC, we have updated our liability for these awards utilizing our best estimate of the expected amounts to be paid out under these awards.

Pension and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

We consult with an outside actuary as to the appropriateness for many of the assumptions used in determining the benefit obligations and the annual expense for our worldwide pension and postretirement benefits other than pensions. All significant assumptions are evaluated at least annually. Assumptions such as the rate of compensation increase, health care cost projections, the mortality rate assumption, and the long-term rate of return on plan assets are based upon our historical and benchmark data, as well as our outlook for the future. The U.S. and the U.K. discount rates are determined using a bond settlement approach based on a hypothetical portfolio of high quality corporate bonds whose coupon payments and maturity values are designed to match the projected benefit payment cash flows of the underlying pension and OPEB obligations. Only high quality AA-graded or better, non-callable corporate bonds are included in this bond portfolio. The discount rate for Canada resulted from benchmark plans with similar durations as the Canadian plans, plotted against the respective Canadian yield curves of AA-graded corporate bonds. The appropriate benchmarks by applicable country are used for pension plans other than those in the U.S., U.K. and Canada. See Note 13, “Pensions and Postretirement Benefits” to our consolidated financial statements.

We generally amortize the actuarial gains and losses for our pension plans over the average future service period of the active participants. Beginning in 2011, we amortized the actuarial gains and losses over the remaining life of the plan participants in our U.S. salaried plan since almost all of the plan participants in that plan are now inactive.

Sensitivity Analysis

The table below quantifies the approximate impact at December 31, 2011 of a one-quarter percentage point change in the assumed discount rate and expected long-term rate of return on plan assets for our pension plan cost and liability, holding all other assumptions constant. The discount rate assumption is selected each year based on market conditions in effect as of the disclosure date. The rate selected is used to measure liabilities as of the disclosure date and for calculating the following year’s pension expense.

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to certain market risks as part of our ongoing business operations, including risks from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, which could impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We manage our exposure to these and other market risks through regular operating and financing activities and through the use of derivative financial instruments. We use such derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for speculative investment purposes. See Note 17, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities” in our consolidated financial statements for a description of current developments involving our hedging activities.

We are exposed to interest rate risk as a result of our outstanding variable rate debt obligations. The table below provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. At December 31, 2011, a hypothetical 100 basis point unfavorable change in interest rates would increase annual interest expense by approximately $0.5 million. At December 31, 2011 we had no interest rate swaps outstanding.

The table represents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected (contractual) maturity dates.

We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include transactions denominated in foreign currencies, the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the relevant functional currency and translation of income and expense and balance sheet amounts of our foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. Dollar. Our objective is to minimize our exposure to transaction and income risks through our normal operating activities and, where appropriate, through foreign currency forward exchange contracts.

Foreign exchange negatively impacted our business segments’ financial results in 2011. Approximately 7% of our revenues and approximately 20% of our costs are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Approximately 95% of these net costs are in Great Britain Pounds Sterling, Euros, Canadian Dollars, Polish Zlotys and Indian Rupee. We hedge a portion of our exposure of U.S. Dollar sales on an ongoing basis.

As currency exchange rates fluctuate, translation of the income statements of our international businesses into U.S. Dollars will affect comparability of revenues and expenses between years.

We have entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to sell U.S. Dollars for Great Britain Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Indian Rupees and Polish Zlotys. These forward contracts are used to mitigate a portion of the potential volatility of earnings and cash flows arising from changes in currency exchange rates. As of December 31, 2011 we had the following forward contracts:

 

Currency

   Notional Amount     

Buy/Sell

 
     (Dollars in
millions)
        

Great Britain Pounds Sterling

   $ 693.8         Buy   

Euros

   $ 584.0         Buy   

Canadian Dollars

   $ 510.2         Buy   

Indian Rupees

   $ 80.2         Buy   

Polish Zlotys

   $ 65.5         Buy   

 

42


Table of Contents

These forward contracts mature on a monthly basis with maturity dates that range from January 2012 to December 2016.

At December 31, 2011, a hypothetical 10 percent strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against other foreign currencies would decrease the value of the forward contracts described above by $213 million. The fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts was a liability of $6.5 million at December 31, 2011. Because we hedge only a portion of our exposure, a strengthening of the U.S. Dollar as described above would have a more than offsetting benefit to our financial results in future periods.

In addition to the foreign exchange cash flow hedges, we enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage foreign currency risk related to the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the relevant functional currency. These forward contracts generally mature monthly and the notional amounts are adjusted periodically to reflect changes in net monetary asset balances. As of December 31, 2011, we had no forward contracts outstanding.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of Goodrich Corporation (Goodrich) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Goodrich’s internal control system over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

 

  (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

 

  (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in condition, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Goodrich’s management assessed the effectiveness of Goodrich’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on management’s assessment and those criteria, management believes that Goodrich maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011.

Goodrich’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of Goodrich’s internal control over financial reporting. This report appears on page 47.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Shareholders and Board of Directors of Goodrich Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Goodrich Corporation as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows, and equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Goodrich Corporation at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Goodrich Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 23, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Shareholders and Board of Directors of Goodrich Corporation

We have audited Goodrich Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Goodrich Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Goodrich Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Goodrich Corporation as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 of Goodrich Corporation and our report dated February 23, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

to conduct its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the time of the Merger;

 

   

to not grant new awards pursuant to employee share-based compensation plans after September 21, 2011 (except under certain conditions in the event the Merger is not consummated prior to August 31, 2012); and

 

   

to not incur or assume any indebtedness other than under the Company’s existing unsecured committed revolving credit facility.

At the time of the Merger, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock will be converted into the right to receive $127.50 in cash, without interest payable to the holder of such share. All outstanding share-based awards including stock options, restricted stock units and performance units, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

The consummation of the Merger is expected to occur in mid-2012 and is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including (1) adoption of the Merger Agreement by the shareholders of the Company, for which the vote is currently scheduled for March 13, 2012, (2) expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and other consents and approvals required under applicable antitrust laws, (3) the absence of any law or order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, (4) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of representations and warranties of the Company and UTC and (5) the performance or compliance by the Company and UTC with their respective covenants and agreements.

The Company incurred merger-related costs of $18.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. These costs are included in other income (expense) — net in the Company’s consolidated statement of income. In addition, the Company incurred higher share-based compensation costs of approximately $18 million as a result of the increase in its share price primarily related to the Merger Agreement. See Note 5, “Other Income (Expense) — Net” and Note 6, “Share-Based Compensation”.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation.    The consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company. Investments in 20 to 50 percent-owned affiliates are accounted for using the equity method. Equity in earnings (losses) from these businesses is included in other income (expense) — net. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

Cash Equivalents.    Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.    The Company evaluates the collectability of trade receivables based on a combination of factors. The Company regularly analyzes significant customer accounts and, when the Company becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, which may occur in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position, the Company records a specific reserve for bad debt to reduce the related receivable to the amount the Company reasonably believes is collectible. The Company also records reserves for bad debts for all other customers based on a variety of factors including the length of time the receivables are past due, the financial health of the customer, macroeconomic considerations and historical experience. If circumstances related to specific customers change, the Company’s estimates of the recoverability of receivables could be further adjusted. See Note 15, “Supplemental Balance Sheet Information”.

Inventories.    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The costs of certain U.S. inventories were determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost method. Costs for the remaining inventories were determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost method. See Note 9, “Inventories”.

Inventoried costs on long-term contracts include certain pre-production costs, consisting primarily of tooling and engineering design and production costs, including applicable overhead. The costs attributed to units delivered under long-term commercial contracts are based on the estimated average cost of all units expected to be produced and are determined under the learning curve concept, which anticipates a predictable decrease in unit costs as tasks and production techniques become more efficient through repetition. This usually results in an increase in inventory (referred to as “excess-over average”) during the early years of a contract. If in-process inventory plus estimated costs to complete a specific contract exceed the anticipated remaining sales value of such contract, the excess is charged to cost of sales in the period identified.

In accordance with industry practice, costs in inventory include amounts relating to contracts with long production cycles, some of which are not expected to be realized within one year.

Property, Plant and Equipment.    Property, plant and equipment, including amounts recorded under capital leases, are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed principally using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: buildings and improvements, 15 to 40 years; machinery and equipment, 5 to 15 years; and internal use software, 2 to 10 years. In the case of capitalized lease assets, depreciation is recognized over the lease term if shorter. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. See Note 15, “Supplemental Balance Sheet Information”.

Goodwill.    Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses. Intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives and goodwill are not subject to amortization, but are reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently, if indicators of potential impairment exist. See Note 10, “Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets”.

Identifiable Intangible Assets.    Identifiable intangible assets are recorded at cost or, when acquired as part of a business combination, at estimated fair value. These assets include patents, trademarks, licenses, technology, customer relationships and non-compete agreements. Identifiable intangible assets are generally amortized over their useful life utilizing the straight-line method or using undiscounted cash flows, a method that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed.

Impairments of identifiable intangible assets are recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset, or related groups of assets, may not be recoverable and the Company’s estimate of undiscounted cash flows over the assets’ remaining useful lives is less than the carrying value of the assets. Measurement of the amount of impairment may be based upon an appraisal, market values of similar assets or estimated discounted future cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. See Note 10, “Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets”.

Revenue and Income Recognition.    For revenues not recognized under the long-term contract method of accounting or separately priced extended warranty or product maintenance contracts, the Company recognizes revenues from the sale of products at the point of passage of title, which is generally at the time of shipment. Revenues earned from providing maintenance service are recognized when the service is complete.

The Company has entered into long-term product maintenance arrangements to provide specific products and services to customers for a specified amount per flight hour, brake landing and/or aircraft landings. Revenue is recognized for these arrangements as the service is performed and the costs are incurred. The Company has sufficient historical evidence that indicates that the costs of performing the service under the contract are incurred on other than a straight-line basis.

For revenues recognized under the contract method of accounting, the Company recognizes sales and profits on each contract in accordance with the percentage-of-completion method, generally using units-of-delivery as the basis to measure progress towards completing the contract and recognizing revenue and profit. This method requires estimates that involve various assumptions and projections relative to the outcome of future events, including the quantity and timing of product deliveries. Projected revenues over the contract period may include estimates of recoveries asserted against the customer for delays, changes in specifications and designs or other unanticipated costs. Amounts related to contract claims or change orders are included in projected revenues when they can be reliably estimated and realization is considered probable. The contract method of accounting also involves the use of various estimating techniques to project costs at completion. Estimates include assumptions relative to future labor performance and rates, and projections relative to material and overhead costs. These assumptions involve various levels of expected performance improvements.

The Company updates its contract estimates periodically and reflects changes in estimates in the current period using the cumulative catch-up method. A significant portion of the Company’s sales in its aerostructures business in the Nacelles and Interior Systems segment are long-term, fixed-priced contracts, many of which contain escalation clauses, requiring delivery of products over several years and frequently providing the buyer with option pricing on follow-on orders.

Consistent with industry practice, the Company classifies assets and liabilities, including unbilled receivables and deferred revenue related to contracts accounted for under the long-term contract method of accounting, as current. Included in accounts receivable at December 31, 2011 and 2010, were receivable amounts under contracts in progress of $271 million and $206.6 million, respectively, that represent amounts earned but not billable. These amounts become billable according to their contract terms, which usually consider the passage of time, achievement of milestones or completion of the project. Of the $271 million at December 31, 2011, $132.5 million is expected to be collected after December 31, 2012.

The Company had no receivable balances that had been billed but not paid by customers under retainage provisions in contracts. The Company also did not have any receivable balances, billed or unbilled, that represented claims or other disagreements with customers subject to uncertainty concerning their determination or ultimate realization.

The Company’s aerostructures business is party to a long-term supply arrangement whereby it receives cash payments for its performance over a period that extends beyond the Company’s performance period of the contract. The contract is accounted for using the percentage of completion method of contract accounting. Unbilled receivables include revenue recognized that will be realized from cash payments to be received beyond the period of performance. In estimating its revenues to be received under the contract, cash receipts that are expected to be received beyond the performance period are included at their present value as of the end of the performance period.

Income Taxes.    Income tax expense for federal, foreign, state and local income taxes are calculated on reported financial reporting pre-tax income based on current tax law and include the cumulative effect of any changes in tax rates from those used previously in determining deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company records interest (net of any applicable tax benefit) on potential tax contingencies as a component of its tax expense. The Company recognizes benefits associated with uncertain tax positions that are more likely than not of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority. See Note 14, “Income Taxes”.

Rotable Assets.    Rotable assets are components, which are held for the purpose of exchanging with a customer for used components in conjunction with an overhaul service transaction. Rotable assets are recorded as other assets and amortized over their estimated economic useful life or the related contract term, as appropriate. Because rotable assets are generally overhauled during each cycle, the overhaul cost is charged to cost of sales in the period of the overhaul. See Note 15, “Supplemental Balance Sheet Information”.

Participation Payments.    Certain businesses make cash payments under long-term contractual arrangements to original equipment manufacturers (OEM) or system contractors in return for a secured position on an aircraft program. Participation payments are capitalized as other assets when a contractual liability has been incurred, and are amortized as a reduction to sales, as appropriate. Participation payments are amortized over the estimated number of production units to be shipped over the program’s production life which reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the participation payments are consumed. The carrying amount of participation payments is evaluated for recovery at least annually or when other indicators of impairment occur such as a change in the estimated number of units or the economics of the program. If such estimates change, amortization expense is adjusted and/or an impairment charge is recorded, as appropriate, for the effect of the revised estimates. No such impairment charges were recorded in 2011, 2010 or 2009. See Note 15, “Supplemental Balance Sheet Information”.

Sales Incentives.    The Company offers sales incentives to certain airline customers in connection with sales contracts. These incentives may consist of up-front cash payments, merchandise credits and/or free products. The cost of these incentives is recognized as an expense in the period incurred unless recovery of these costs is specifically guaranteed by the customer in the contract. If the contract contains such a guarantee, then the cost of the sales incentive is capitalized as other assets and amortized to cost of sales, or as a reduction to sales, as appropriate, using the straight-line method over the remaining contract term. The carrying amount of sales incentives is evaluated for recovery when indicators of potential impairment exist. The carrying value of sales incentives is also compared annually to the amount recoverable under the terms of the guarantee in the customer contract. If the amount of the carrying value of the sales incentives exceeds the amount recoverable in the contract, the carrying value is reduced. No significant impairment charges were recorded in 2011, 2010 or 2009. See Note 15, “Supplemental Balance Sheet Information”.

Flight Certification Costs.    When a supply arrangement is secured, certain businesses may agree to supply hardware to an OEM to be used in flight certification testing and/or make cash payments to reimburse an OEM for costs incurred in testing the hardware. The flight certification testing is necessary to certify aircraft systems/components for the aircraft’s airworthiness and allows the aircraft to be flown and thus sold in the country certifying the aircraft. Flight certification costs are capitalized in other assets and are amortized to cost of sales, or as a reduction to sales, as appropriate, over the projected number of aircraft to be manufactured. The carrying amount of flight certification costs is evaluated for recovery when indicators of impairment exist. The carrying value of the asset and amortization expense is adjusted when the estimated number of units to be manufactured changes. No such impairment charges were recorded in 2011, 2010 or 2009. See Note 15, “Supplemental Balance Sheet Information”.

Entry Fee.    The aerostructures business in the Company’s Nacelles and Interior Systems segment made a cash payment to an OEM under a long-term contractual arrangement related to a new engine program. The payment is referred to as an entry fee and entitles the Company to a controlled access supply contract and to receive certain OE and aftermarket-based payments as specified in the contract. The entry fee is capitalized in other assets and is amortized over units of delivery as a reduction to sales. The carrying amount of the entry fee is evaluated for recovery at least annually or when other significant assumptions or economic conditions change. Recovery of an entry fee is assessed based on the expected cash flow from the program over the remaining program life as compared to the recorded amount of the entry fee. If the carrying value of the entry fee exceeds the cash flow to be generated from the program, a charge would be recorded to reduce the entry fee to its recoverable amount. No such impairment charge was recorded in 2011, 2010 or 2009. See Note 15, “Supplemental Balance Sheet Information”.

Shipping and Handling.    Shipping and handling costs are recorded in cost of sales.

Financial Instruments.    The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, foreign currency forward contracts, accounts payable and debt. Because of their short maturity, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable,

 

55


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 

accounts payable and short-term bank debt approximates fair value. Fair value of long-term debt is based on quoted market prices or rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities. See Note 8, “Fair Value Measurements”.

Derivative financial instruments are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivatives and other forward contracts is based on quoted market prices. See Note 17, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities”.

Foreign Currency Translation.    Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries that prepare financial statements in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated using rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date and the statements of earnings are translated at the average rates of exchange for each reporting period. Translation adjustments are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) except when the functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. If the functional currency is the U.S. Dollar, translation adjustments are reported in cost of sales.

Share-Based Compensation.    The Company utilizes the fair value method of accounting to account for share-based compensation awards. See Note 6, “Share-Based Compensation”.

Pension and Postretirement Benefits.    The Company recognizes the funded status of the Company’s pension plans and postretirement benefits plans other than pension (OPEB) on its consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding adjustment to AOCI, net of tax. The measurement date used to determine the pension and OPEB obligations and assets for all plans was December 31. Plan assets have been valued at fair value. See Note 13, “Pensions and Postretirement Benefits”.

Research and Development.    The Company performs research and development under company-funded programs for commercial products and under contracts with others. Research and development under contracts with others is performed on both military and commercial products. Company-funded research and development programs are expensed as incurred. Customer funding of the Company’s research and development efforts is generally recorded as an offset to research and development expense. Total research and development expenditures in 2011, 2010 and 2009 were approximately $247 million, $247 million and $239 million, respectively. These amounts are net of approximately $119 million, $85 million and $101 million, respectively, which were funded by customers.

Reclassifications.    Certain amounts in prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Discontinued Operations.    Net income from discontinued operations was $0.3 million, $2.2 million and $34.5 million (net of income taxes of $20.8 million in 2009) for the years ended 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The income in 2009 related primarily to the resolution of litigation for an environmental matter at a divested business that had been previously reported as a discontinued operation and favorable resolution of other divestiture liabilities.

Use of Estimates.    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. During 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company updated its estimates of revenues and costs on certain long-term contracts, primarily in its aerostructures and aircraft wheels and brakes businesses which increased income from continuing operations before income taxes during 2011, 2010 and 2009 by $108.1 million, ($68.6 million after tax or $0.54 per diluted share),$98 million ($61.3 million after tax or $0.49 per diluted share) and $45.1 million ($28.3 million after tax or $0.23 per diluted share), respectively. These changes were primarily related to favorable cost and operational performance, changes in volume expectations and sales pricing improvements and finalization of contract terms on current and/or follow-on contracts.

Environmental Liabilities.    The Company establishes environmental liabilities when it is probable that an obligation has been incurred and the Company has the ability to reasonably estimate the liability. The Company capitalizes environmental costs only if the costs are recoverable and (1) the costs extend the life, increase the capacity, or improve the safety or efficiency of property owned by the Company as compared with the condition of that property when originally constructed or acquired; (2) the costs mitigate or prevent environmental contamination that has yet to occur and that otherwise may result from future operations or activities and the costs improve the property compared with its condition when constructed or acquired; or (3) the costs are incurred in preparing the property for sale. All other environmental costs are expensed. See Note 16, “Contingencies”.

Toxic Tort.    The Company establishes toxic tort liabilities, including asbestos, when it is probable that an obligation has been incurred and the Company has the ability to reasonably estimate the liability. The Company typically records a liability for toxic tort when legal actions are in advanced stages (proximity to trial or settlement). The Company expenses legal costs for toxic tort issues when incurred. See Note 16, “Contingencies”.

Service and Product Warranties.    The Company provides service and warranty policies on certain of its products. The Company accrues liabilities under service and warranty policies based upon specific claims and a review of historical warranty and service claim experience. Adjustments are made to accruals as claim data and historical experience change. In addition, the Company incurs discretionary costs to service its products in connection with product performance issues, which are expensed as incurred. See Note 15, “Supplemental Balance Sheet Information”.

Deferred Settlement Credits.    The Company reached agreements with certain of its insurance carriers that are in run-off, insolvent or are undergoing solvent schemes of arrangements to receive negotiated payments in exchange for loss of insurance coverage for third party claims against the Company. The portion of these negotiated payments related to past costs was recognized in income. The portion related to future claims is recorded as a deferred settlement credit and reported within accrued expenses and other non-current liabilities. The deferred settlement credits will partially offset future costs related to insurable claims. See Note 16, “Contingencies”.

Note 3. New Accounting Standards

New Accounting Standards Adopted in 2011

In September 2011, accounting guidance was issued that is included in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”. This guidance amends the requirements for goodwill impairment testing. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. The Company has adopted this new standard effective with its annual goodwill impairment testing for the year ending December 31, 2011. See Note 10, “Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets”.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In May 2011, accounting guidance was issued that is included in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”. This guidance amends the requirements for measuring amounts at fair value and disclosing information about fair value measurements and is effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. Upon adoption, the Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 

In June 2011, accounting guidance was issued that is included in ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”. This guidance eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. Companies can elect to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. The Company will present items of net income and other comprehensive income in two separate, but consecutive, statements effective with its Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Note 4. Business Segment Information

The Company’s business segments are as follows:

 

   

The Actuation and Landing Systems segment provides systems, components and related services pertaining to aircraft taxi, take-off, flight control, landing and stopping, and engine components, including fuel delivery systems and rotating assemblies.

 

   

The Nacelles and Interior Systems segment produces products and provides maintenance, repair and overhaul services associated with aircraft engines, including thrust reversers, cowlings, nozzles and their components, and aircraft interior products, including slides, seats, cargo and lighting systems.

The Company measures each reporting segment’s profit based upon operating income. Accordingly, the Company does not allocate net interest expense, other income (expense) — net and income taxes to its reporting segments. The company-wide Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) costs that are not directly associated with a specific business were not allocated to the segments. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those for the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(1) On May 12, 2011, the Company acquired Microtecnica S.r.l. (Microtecnica) and incurred $8.4 million of acquisition related costs which were reported in selling and administrative costs for 2011. This acquisition is reported within the Actuation and Landing Systems segment.

On June 7, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a plan to close a facility in its landing gear business.

Note 6. Share-Based Compensation

The compensation cost recorded for share-based compensation plans during 2011, 2010 and 2009 is presented below:

 

 

    

                       Year Ended December 31,                

 
    

        2011        

    

        2010        

    

        2009        

 
     (Dollars in millions, except per share amount)  

Compensation cost

   $ 105.1       $ 81.4       $ 66.7   

Compensation cost net of tax benefit

   $ 68.5       $ 52.4       $ 43.2   

Compensation cost per diluted share — net of tax benefit

   $ 0.54       $ 0.41       $ 0.35   

The increase from 2010 to 2011 was primarily due to a higher grant date fair value for the restricted stock units and stock options and changes in the Company’s share price for the Performance Units and Outside Director Phantom Share Plans. This significant increase in the Company’s share price was primarily related to the Merger Agreement entered into by the Company with UTC which resulted in approximately $18 million of additional pre-tax compensation cost during 2011. See Note 1, “Goodrich Merger Agreement with United Technologies Corporation”. The increase from 2009 to 2010 was primarily due to a higher grant date fair value for the restricted stock units and stock options.

The total income tax benefit recognized for share-based compensation awards was $36.6 million, $29 million and $23.5 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. There was no share-based compensation cost capitalized as part of inventory and fixed assets. As of December 31, 2011, total compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation awards not yet recognized was $70.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

The Company administers the Goodrich Equity Compensation Plan (the Plan) as part of its long-term incentive compensation program. The Plan, as approved by the Company’s shareholders, permits the Company to issue stock options, performance units, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and other equity-based compensation awards. Currently, the Plan which expires on April 18, 2021, makes 2,825,000 shares of common stock of the Company available for grant, together with shares of common stock available as of April 19, 2011 for future awards under the Company’s 2001 Stock Option Plan and the Company’s 1999 Stock Option Plan, and any shares of common stock representing outstanding 2001 Stock Option Plan and 1999 Stock Option Plan awards as of April 19, 2011 that are not issued or otherwise are returned to the Company after that date. The Company issues shares upon exercise of options or vesting of certain other share-based compensation awards. During 2011, the Company repurchased shares under the plan to the extent required to meet the minimum statutory tax withholding requirements.

As described in Note 1, “Goodrich Merger Agreement with United Technologies Corporation”, the Company is prohibited from granting new awards pursuant to employee share-based compensation plans that are described below after September 21, 2011 (except under certain conditions in the event the Merger is not consummated prior to August 31, 2012).

Stock Options

Generally, options granted on or after January 1, 2004 are exercisable at the rate of 331/3% after one year, 662/3% after two years and 100% after three years. A one-year service period is required, whereby individuals who are retirement eligible and retire during the grant year will have their awards prorated based on their length of service during the year. Therefore, expense is recorded ratably over the required service period. Options granted to employees who will become retirement eligible prior to the end of the vesting term are expensed over the period through which the employee will become retirement eligible or

the required service period, whichever is longer. Compensation expense for options granted to employees who are not retirement eligible is recognized on a straight-line basis over three years. The term of each stock option cannot exceed 10 years from the date of grant. All options granted under the Plan have an exercise price that is not less than 100% of the market value of the stock on the date of grant, as determined pursuant to the plan. Dividends are not paid or earned on stock options.

The fair value of all other option awards is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton formula. The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar options. The Company does not issue traded options. Accordingly, the Company uses historical volatility instead of implied volatility. The historical volatility is calculated over a term commensurate with the expected term of the options. The risk-free rate during the option term is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield is based on the expected annual dividends during the term of the options divided by the fair value of the stock on the grant date. The fair value for options issued during 2011, 2010 and 2009 was based upon the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

 

     2011      2010      2009  

Risk-free interest rate (%)

     2.2         2.9         1.8
