As a result of the previously announced discontinued operations, the Corporation realigned its segments and businesses during the first quarter of 2015. The Energy segment will be renamed as the new Power segment. The business serving the nuclear naval defense and new build (AP1000) power generation markets, which had previously operated within the Defense segment, will join the Nuclear aftermarket business in the new Power segment. The remaining Oil and Gas division businesses, which had previously operated within the Energy segment, will be reported in Commercial / Industrial segment, specifically the industrial valves group of companies. As a result, all of our industrial severe service valve businesses will operate within a single division. The Defense segment will be comprised primarily of the electronics businesses serving the ground and aerospace defense markets.
