WOODWARD, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Woodward, Inc. (“Woodward” or the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and for the three-months ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, included herein, have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm.  These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly Woodward’s financial position as of December 31, 2012, and the statements of earnings, comprehensive earnings, cash flows, and changes in the statement of stockholders’ equity for the periods presented herein.  The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2012 was derived from Woodward’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year then ended.  The results of operations for the three-months ended December 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year.  Dollar amounts contained in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are in thousands, except per share amounts. 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Woodward’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and other financial information filed with the SEC.

Management is required to use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported revenues and expenses recognized during the reporting period, and certain financial statement disclosures, in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.  Significant estimates in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include allowances for losses on receivables, net realizable value of inventories, warranty reserves, cost of sales incentives, useful lives of property and identifiable intangible assets, the evaluation of impairments of property, valuation of identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, income tax and valuation reserves, the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, assumptions used in the determination of the funded status and annual expense of pension and postretirement employee benefit plans, the valuation of stock compensation instruments granted to employees and board members, and contingencies.  Actual results could vary materially from Woodward’s estimates.

Note 2.  Recent accounting pronouncements

From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standards setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements.  Updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”).

      In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment.”  ASU 2011-08 allows companies to perform a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether or not the current two-step quantitative testing method, in which a company compares the fair value of reporting units to its carrying amount including goodwill, must be followed.  If a qualitative assessment indicates that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then the quantitative impairment test is not required.  A company may choose to use the qualitative assessment on none, some, or all if its reporting units or to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the two-step quantitative testing method.  ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011; fiscal 2013 for Woodward.  The adoption of ASU 2011-08 is not expected to have a material impact on Woodward’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3.  Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.

Diluted earnings per share reflects the weighted-average number of shares outstanding after consideration of the dilutive effect of stock options.

The following is a reconciliation of net earnings to basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share:

Note 4.  Business acquisitions

Duarte Business Acquisition

On December 27, 2012, Woodward entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with GE Aviation Systems LLC (the “Seller”) and General Electric Company for the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities related to the Seller’s thrust reverser actuation systems business located in Duarte, California (the “Duarte Business”) for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000.  The sale was completed on December 28, 2012 and based on customary purchase price adjustments, Woodward paid cash at closing in the amount of $198,900

The Duarte Business develops and manufactures motion control technologies and platforms, more specifically thrust reverser actuation systems.  The Duarte Business employs approximately 350 people and serves customers such as Airbus, Boeing, General Electric, Safran and the U.S. Government.  Its products are used primarily on commercial aircraft such as the Boeing 737, 747 and 777, and the Airbus A320.  The Duarte Business will be integrated into Woodward’s Aerospace segment. 

The Company believes the Duarte Business provides it with expanded motion control technologies and platforms, and that there will be operating synergies and significant opportunities to share technologies and leverage the customer base.  Goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition of the Duarte Business, which is deductible for income tax purposes, represents the estimated value of such future opportunities, the value of potential expansion with new customers, the opportunity to further develop sales opportunities with new and acquired Duarte Business customers, and other synergies expected to be achieved through the integration of the Duarte Business into Woodward’s Aerospace segment.

The preliminary purchase price of the Duarte Business is as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cash paid to Seller

$

198,900 

Less cash acquired

 

(40)

Total preliminary purchase price

$

198,860 

 

The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations.  Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction were recorded at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while transaction costs associated with the acquisition were expensed as incurred.  The Company’s preliminary allocation was based on an evaluation of the appropriate fair values and represents management’s best estimate based on available data.

Due to the timing of the transaction, Woodward is currently in the process of finalizing valuations of current assets, property, plant and equipment (including estimated useful lives), goodwill, intangible assets (including estimated useful lives), and all current and noncurrent liabilities.

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition of the Duarte Business:

In connection with the acquisition of the Duarte Business, Woodward did not assume the postretirement benefit obligations of the Duarte Business’ defined benefit pension plan.  Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Woodward is obligated to establish a new defined benefit pension plan for the Duarte Business employees who were beneficiaries of the Seller’s defined benefit pension plan.  Woodward’s new defined benefit pension plan will provide for similar benefits as those provided by the Seller.

Pro forma results for Woodward giving effect to the acquisition of the Duarte Business

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of Woodward and the Duarte Business as if the acquisition had occurred as of October 1, 2011, the beginning of fiscal 2012.  The pro forma information is presented for information purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition and the borrowings used to finance it had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2012.  The pro forma information combines the historical results of Woodward with the historical results of the Duarte Business for that period.

Prior to the acquisition of the Duarte Business,  the Duarte Business was a wholly owned business of the Seller, and as such was not a stand-alone entity for financial reporting purposes.  Accordingly, the historical operating results of the Duarte Business may not be indicative of the results that might have been achieved, historically or in the future, if the Duarte Business had been a stand-alone entity.  The unaudited pro forma results for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 include amortization charges for acquired intangible assets, adjustments for depreciation expense for property, plant and equipment, transaction costs incurred, adjustments to interest expense, and related tax effects.

The unaudited pro forma results for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, compared to the actual results reported in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, follow:

These pro forma results do not reflect the favorable impact of various long-term agreements with customers of the Duarte Business that were recently renegotiated by the Seller prior to the acquisition and effective on or before January 1, 2013. Collectively, the renegotiation of the agreements would have had a significant positive impact on prior operating results of the Duarte Business if implemented earlier. 

The Company incurred transaction costs of $1,707 for the three-months ended December 31, 2012, which are included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.  Due to the timing of the acquisition, there were no net sales or operating expenses from the Duarte Business included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
