NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The December 31, 2017, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts have been derived from the previously audited Consolidated Balance Sheet of Kaman Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this report. Certain amounts in prior year financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be expected for the entire year.

The Company has a calendar year-end; however, its first three fiscal quarters follow a 13-week convention, with each quarter ending on a Friday. The second quarters for 2018 and 2017 ended on June 29, 2018, and June 30, 2017, respectively.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted

In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting". The objective of this standard update is to address the diversity in practice and reduce the cost and complexity of applying guidance for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This ASU provides guidance on when an entity should apply modification accounting for stock compensation. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of this standard update had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) - Improving the Net Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost”. The objective of this standard update is to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. This standard update requires employers to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost. This ASU also provides guidance on how to present the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and allows only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. The other components of net benefit cost, which are expected to more than offset the service cost component, are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside of operating profit. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. This ASU was applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in assets. The standard update allows for a practical expedient that permits an employer to use the amounts disclosed in its pension and other postretirement benefit plan note for the prior comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements. The Company applied this practical expedient for prior period presentation. The Company currently estimates that the service cost component to be included in operating profit will be approximately $4.9 million and the other components of net benefit cost presented below operating income will be approximately $12.7 million of income in 2018. See Note 12, Pension Plans,for the service cost component and other components of net benefit in the current period and Note 3, Significant Accounting Policies Update, for the impact to prior period results.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, "Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20)". The objective of this standard update is to clarify the scope of asset derecognition guidance and to provide new guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption was permitted; however, an entity was required to apply the amendments in this ASU in the same period that it applies the amendments for ASU 2014-09. The adoption of this standard update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted - continued

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash". The objective of this standard update is to address the diversity in classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. Under this ASU, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of this standard update had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory". Under this ASU, income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory is recognized when the transfer occurs. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of this standard update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments". This standard update was issued to address diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified. The provisions of ASU 2016-15 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of this standard update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10) - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The objective of this standard update is to remove inconsistent practices with regards to the accounting for financial instruments between US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The standard update intends to improve the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. The provisions of this standard update are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this standard update had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" ("ASC 606"). The objective of this standard update is to remove inconsistent practices with regard to revenue recognition between US GAAP and IFRS. The standard intends to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. The provisions of ASU No. 2014-09 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method. As a result, the Company applied ASC 606 only to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASC 606 resulted in a net reduction to opening retained earnings of approximately $9.6 million, net of tax, on January 1, 2018.

Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued the following updates: ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - "Deferral of the Effective Date"; ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)”; ASU 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing"; ASU 2016-12, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients"; and ASU 2016-20, "Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606". The amendments in these updates affect the guidance contained within ASU 2014-09 and were similarly adopted on January 1, 2018. See Note 3, Significant Accounting Policies Update, for further information on the impacts of these standard updates.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)

Recent Accounting Standards Yet to be Adopted

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02 "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income". The objective of this standard is to address the concern that tax effects of items within accumulated other comprehensive income do not appropriately reflect the tax rate because the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 ("Tax Reform") required the adjustment of deferred taxes be recorded to income. This ASU provides an entity the election to reclassify stranded tax effects resulting from Tax Reform to retained earnings from accumulated other comprehensive income. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact this standard update could have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities". The objective of this standard update is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better reflect the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. This ASU expands hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and refines the measurement of hedge results to better reflect an entity's hedging strategies. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". The objective of this standard update is to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this ASU, an entity should perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, assuming the loss recognized does not exceed the total amount of goodwill for the reporting unit. The standard update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The impact of the adoption of this standard update is dependent on the Company's goodwill impairment assessment.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under this ASU as amended, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged under this ASU as amended. This standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has developed a project plan that includes a three-phase approach to implementing this standard update. Phase one, the assessment phase, was completed in the third quarter of 2017. The Company began the second phase in the fourth quarter of 2017, which includes implementing new lease administration software, establishing policies and understanding the initial financial impact this standard update will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Phase three, which the Company anticipates beginning in the second half of 2018, will include integrating the standard update into financial reporting processes and systems and developing a more robust understanding of the financial impact of this standard update. The Company anticipates the ASU will have a material impact on its assets and liabilities due to the addition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities to the balance sheet; however, it does not expect the ASU to have a material impact on the Company's cash flows or results of operations.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES UPDATE

The Company's significant accounting policies are detailed in "Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2017. Significant changes to the Company's accounting policies as a result of adopting new accounting standards are discussed below:

Revenue Recognition

Under ASC 606, the amount of revenue recognized for any goods or services reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.

A contract is accounted for when there has been approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Performance obligations under a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract. In certain instances, the Company has concluded distinct goods or services should be accounted for as a single performance obligation when they are a series of distinct goods or services that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised goods or services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether the customer can benefit from the goods or services either on their own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (the goods or services are distinct) and if the promise to transfer the goods or services to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (the goods or services are distinct in the context of the contract). If these criteria are not met, the promised services are accounted for as a single performance obligation. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration that the Company will be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price, generally utilizing the expected value method. Determining the transaction price requires significant judgment. If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling price is determined by the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price by taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. Performance obligations are satisfied either over time or at a point in time as discussed in further detail below. In addition, the Company's contracts with customers generally do not include significant financing components or non-cash consideration.

In certain instances, the Company has accounted for contracts using the portfolio approach, a practical expedient permissible under the standard. The determination of when the use of the portfolio approach is appropriate requires judgment from management based on consideration of all the facts and circumstances. The Company uses the portfolio approach when the effect of accounting for a group of contracts or a group of performance obligations would not differ materially from considering each contract or performance obligation separately. This determination requires the use of estimates and assumptions that reflect the size and composition of the portfolio. The Company primarily uses the portfolio approach within its over time revenue streams throughout the Distribution segment as well as for its commercial and defense bearings and structures businesses in the Aerospace segment. The Company's primary criteria considered when using the portfolio approach is the commonality of economic factors, which generally follow the product type based on consistent production costs and standard pricing for the products.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES UPDATE (CONTINUED)

Revenue Recognition - continued

Distribution segment

The Distribution segment has historically recognized the majority of its revenue when the sales price was fixed, collectability was reasonably assured and the product's title and risk of loss had transferred to the customer. This method of revenue recognition remains substantially the same as revenue will be recognized at the point in time when title transfers to the customer, as this is when the performance obligations are generally controlled by the customer. A small percentage of revenue within the Distribution segment, specifically certain contracts for value-add services, engineering services and repairs, are accounted for over time under ASC 606. For the over time contracts within the Distribution segment, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. The Company generally uses the cost-to-cost measure of progress for its contracts because it best depicts the transfer of assets to the customer which occurs as cost is incurred under the contracts. Under the cost-to-cost method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. The Company performs detailed quarterly reviews of the progress and execution of its performance obligations under certain larger contracts. As part of this process, management reviews information, primarily its estimated costs at completion and costs incurred to date by its vendors as a majority of production costs at the segment are incurred by third party vendors. These estimated costs are included in the calculation of the measures of progress towards completion.

Additionally, the Company includes freight costs charged to customers in net sales and the correlating expense as a cost of sales. Sales tax collected from customers is excluded from net sales in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Aerospace segment

The majority of long-term contracts in the Aerospace segment were historically accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method using units-of-delivery as a measurement basis. Many of these contracts moved to an over time revenue model under ASC 606. For example, revenue for the Company's Joint Programmable Fuze ("JPF") program with the U.S. Government ("USG") moved from percentage-of-completion using units-of-delivery as the measurement basis to the over time revenue recognition model using input costs as the basis for recognizing progress to completion. Conversely, revenue for the K-MAX® program moved from cost-to-cost revenue recognition under percentage-of-completion accounting to the point-in-time method, with revenue on these aircraft being recognized upon delivery to the end customer. For certain programs, early-contract unit costs in excess of the average expected cost over the life of the contract and general and administrative costs were previously capitalized and amortized over the period of performance of the contract. With the adoption of this standard update, $32.5 million of previously capitalized deferred costs in excess of the contract average and previously contractually recoverable general and administrative costs were adjusted within the cumulative effect to retained earnings and will not be amortized into earnings after January 1, 2018.

To determine the appropriate revenue recognition model for the Aerospace segment's long-term contracts, the Company evaluates whether a contract exists, considering whether multiple contracts should be combined as one single contract and then whether the contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment, as these decisions could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period. For certain programs, the Company may promise to provide distinct goods or services within a contract, in which case these are separated into more than one performance obligation.

For certain programs in the Aerospace segment, the Company recognizes revenue over time because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. For USG contracts, this continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contract that provide lien rights to the customer over the work in progress, thereby control transfers as costs are incurred. For non-USG contracts, the customer typically controls the work in progress because the Company is producing products that do not have an alternative use to the Company and where contractual termination clauses provide the Company rights to payment for work performed to date plus a reasonable profit.

Revenue Recognition - continued

Aerospace segment - continued

Revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. The Company generally uses the cost-to-cost measure of progress for its contracts because it best depicts the transfer of assets to the customer which occurs as cost is incurred under the contracts. Under the cost-to-cost method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Total estimated contract costs generally include labor, materials and subcontractors’ costs, other direct costs and related overhead costs. These estimates also include the estimated cost of satisfying offset obligations, as required under certain contracts. The complexity of certain programs as well as technical risks and uncertainty as to the future availability of materials and labor resources could affect the Company’s ability to accurately estimate future contract costs.

For contracts that recognize revenue over time, the Company performs detailed quarterly reviews of the progress and execution of its performance obligations under these contracts. As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. The risks and opportunities include management's judgment about the ability and cost to achieve the schedule (e.g. the number and type of milestone events), technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product) and other contract requirements. Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the performance obligation (e.g. to estimate increases in wages and prices for materials and related support cost allocations), execution by subcontractors, the availability and timing of funding from customers and overhead cost rates, among other variables. Based upon these reviews, the Company will record the effects of adjustments in profit estimates each period. If at any time management determines that in the case of a particular contract total costs will exceed total contract revenue, a provision for the entire anticipated contract loss is recorded at that time. The amount of revenue recognized in the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018 from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods was $1.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively. These amounts were primarily related to changes in the estimates of the stage of completion of Aerospace contracts, more specifically the JPF contract with the USG, the AH-1Z contract and the SH-2G contract with Peru. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 30, 2017, there were net increases in the Company's operating income attributable to changes in contract estimates of $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively. These increases were primarily a result of improved performance on the JPF USG Program, the AH-1Z program and the SH-2G program with Peru. These improvements were partially offset by cost growth on the K-MAX® and A-10 programs.

Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of the Company's performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. From time-to-time the Company enters into long-term contracts with the USG that contain award fees, incentive fees or other provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. These variable amounts generally are awarded upon achievement of certain performance metrics, program milestones or cost targets and can be based upon customer discretion. The Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount to which it expects to be entitled. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company's anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available. The Company does not include financing components as variable consideration if less than one year. At June 29, 2018, the Company did not have any significant financing components.

Revenue Recognition - continued

Aerospace segment - continued

Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. The Company considers contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new or makes changes to the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Contract modifications for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. In these cases, the effect of the contract modification on the transaction price and the measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis, except when such modifications relate to a performance obligation that is a series of substantially the same distinct goods or services. If the modification relates to a performance obligation for a series of substantially the same distinct goods or services, the modification is treated prospectively. Contract modifications for goods or services that are considered distinct from the existing contract are accounted for as separate contracts. The Company applied the practical expedient for any contracts that were modified prior to January 1, 2018; therefore, the contracts were not restated retrospectively for those modifications.

For other contracts within the Aerospace segment, excluding the long-term contracts discussed above, the method of revenue recognition will remain substantially the same under ASC 606. For these contracts, revenue will be primarily recognized at the point in time when the title transfers to the customer, as this is when the performance obligation is controlled by the customer. Additionally, a small percentage of revenue related to certain contracts for repairs and overhauls within the Aerospace segment is accounted for over time under ASC 606. Under these contracts, revenue is generally recognized as work is performed in proportion to the actual costs incurred as compared to total estimated contract costs.

The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 1, 2018 as a result of the adoption of ASC 606 was as follows:

The reduction to retained earnings of $9.6 million in the cumulative effect adjustment on January 1, 2018 primarily reflects the reduction of $32.5 million in costs previously capitalized in inventory, which included deferred unit costs in excess of the contract average and previously capitalized general and administrative costs, partially offset by the acceleration of net sales of $62.3 million and associated gross profit of $20.2 million for deliveries that would have occurred in 2018, but are now recognized over time as costs are incurred.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES UPDATE (CONTINUED)

Accounts Receivable

The Company's receivables, net, consist of amounts billed and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, which reflects management’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the trade accounts receivable and billed contracts balance. Management determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other currently available evidence.

Contract Assets

The Company's contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under long-term contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is applied and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Amounts do not exceed their net realizable value. Contract assets are generally classified as current as such amounts are billable and collectible within twelve months.

Contract Costs

Contract costs consist of costs to obtain and fulfill a contract. Costs to fulfill a contract primarily consist of nonrecurring engineering costs incurred at the start of a new program for which such costs are expected to be recovered under existing and future contracts. Such costs are amortized over the estimated revenue amount of the contract. Costs to obtain a contract consist of commissions and agent fees paid in connection with the award of a contract. If these costs are determined to have an amortization period of less than one year, the Company applies the practical expedient and the related costs are expensed as incurred. If the amortization period is determined to be greater than a year and the incremental costs to obtaining the contract qualify as an asset, then the contract costs are recorded and amortized over the estimated contract revenue. At June 29, 2018, costs to fulfill a contract and costs to obtain a contract were $9.5 million and $6.8 million, respectively. These amounts are included in contract costs, current portion and contract costs, noncurrent portion on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 29, 2018.

Contract Liabilities

The Company's contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized and deferred revenue. Advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized are classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when recognition of revenue is expected. At June 29, 2018, the noncurrent portion of contract liabilities was $76.3 million, which is included in contract liabilities, noncurrent portion in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Unfulfilled Performance Obligations

Unfulfilled performance obligations ("backlog") represents the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts. As of June 29, 2018, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to backlog was $969.0 million. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately $585.6 million of this amount over the next 12 months, with the remaining amount to be recognized thereafter.

Pension

The Company accounts for its defined benefit pension plan by recognizing the overfunded or underfunded status of the plan, calculated as the difference between the plan assets and the projected benefit obligation, as an asset or liability on the balance sheet, with changes in the funded status recognized in comprehensive income in the year in which they occur.

Expenses and liabilities associated with the plan are determined based upon actuarial valuations. Integral to the actuarial valuations are a variety of assumptions including expected return on plan assets and discount rate. The Company regularly reviews the assumptions, which are updated at the measurement date, December 31^st. The impact of differences between actual results and the assumptions are accumulated and generally amortized over future periods, which will affect expense recognized in future periods. The service cost component of net benefit cost is recorded in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses separately from the other components of net benefit cost, which are recorded to non-service pension and postretirement benefit cost (income). See Note 12, Pension Plans, for further information.

4. RESTRUCTURING COSTS

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company initiated restructuring activities at its Aerospace segment to support the ongoing effort of improving capacity utilization and operating efficiency to better position the Company for increased profitability and growth. Such actions include workforce reductions and the consolidation of operations, beginning in the third quarter of 2017 through the planned completion of restructuring activities in the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company currently expects these actions to result in approximately $7.0 million to $8.5 million in pre-tax restructuring and transition charges and, beginning in 2019, will result in total cost savings of approximately $4.0 million annually.

The above accrual balance was included in other current liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods, the Aerospace segment incurred $1.5 million and $2.3 million in costs, respectively, associated with the restructuring activities described above. Since the announcement of these restructuring activities, restructuring expense as of June 29, 2018 was $4.9 million. Included in this expense is approximately $1.0 million of cost that primarily relates to the write-off of inventory for various small order programs that the Company will no longer continue to manufacture as a result of the consolidation of operations

Other Matters

In addition to the restructuring above, for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, the Aerospace segment incurred $0.3 million and $1.2 million in costs, respectively, associated with the termination of certain distributor agreements and separation costs for certain employees not covered by the restructuring activities noted above. The Distribution segment incurred $0.1 million in separation costs for certain employees in the three-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018. These amounts are not included in the table above.

Contract costs consist of costs to obtain and fulfill a contract. Costs to fulfill a contract primarily consist of nonrecurring engineering costs incurred at the start of a new program for which such costs are expected to be recovered under existing and future contracts. Such costs are amortized over the estimated revenue amount of the contract. Costs to obtain a contract consist of commissions and agent fees paid in connection with the award of a contract. Contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of costs incurred and deferred revenue.

⁽¹⁾ These amounts include the impact of the cumulative effect adjustment resulting from the adoption of ASC 606.

Contract Assets

The increase in contract assets was primarily due to the recognition of revenue related to the satisfaction or partial satisfaction of performance obligations during the six-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018. This increase is primarily related to work performed and not yet billed on the JPF program with the USG, legacy fuze programs and the SH-2G program with Peru in the Aerospace segment and the automation, control and energy product line at the Distribution segment. There were no significant impairment losses related to the Company's contract assets during the six-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018.

Contract assets includes amounts for matters such as contract changes, negotiated settlements and claims for unanticipated contract costs. These amounts are as follows:

	June 29, 2018		December 31, 2017
In thousands
Contract changes, negotiated settlements and claims for unanticipated contract costs	$	3,423	$	—

On January 1, 2018, $4.3 million in claims previously included in inventory were reclassified to contract assets as part of the cumulative effect adjustment resulting from the adoption of ASC 606. This amount was partially offset by the settlement of a claim in the six-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018.

6. CONTRACT ASSETS, CONTRACT COSTS AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

Contract Costs

The increase in contract costs, current portion was primarily related to costs to fulfill certain metallic structures programs, partially offset by amortization of contract costs. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, amortization of contract costs was $1.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

The increase in contract costs, noncurrent portion was primarily related to costs to obtain a JPF DCS contract.

Contract Liabilities

The decrease in contract liabilities, current portion was primarily due to revenue recognized in excess of payments received on these performance obligations, primarily associated with deliveries under a JPF DCS contract and the K-MAX® program, partially offset by an advance payment received for a JPF DCS contract. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, revenue recognized related to contract liabilities, current portion at January 1, 2018 was $1.4 million and $6.4 million.

The increase in contract liabilities, noncurrent portion was due to an advance payment received for a JPF DCS contract. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, the Company did not recognize revenue against contract liabilities, noncurrent portion.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: 

• Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The following table presents the carrying value and fair value of financial instruments that are not carried at fair value:

	June 29, 2018				December 31, 2017
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
In thousands
Debt (1)	$	330,264	$	382,945	$	405,602	$	428,432

⁽¹⁾ These amounts are classified within Level 2.

The above fair values were computed based on quoted market prices and discounted future cash flows (observable inputs), as applicable. Differences from carrying values are attributable to interest rate changes subsequent to when the transactions occurred.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net and accounts payable - trade approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company holds derivative instruments for foreign exchange contracts that are measured at fair value using observable market inputs such as forward rates and its counterparties’ credit risks. Based on these inputs, the derivative instruments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. At June 29, 2018, the derivative instruments have been included in other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2017, the derivative instruments were included in other current assets and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Based on the Company's continued ability to trade and enter into forward contracts and interest rate swaps, the Company considers the markets for its fair value instruments to be active.

The Company evaluated the credit risk associated with the counterparties to these derivative instruments and determined that as of June 29, 2018, such credit risks have not had an adverse impact on the fair value of these instruments.

8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including market risks relating to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair values of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is effective as part of a hedged transaction. Gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive income are subsequently included in earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Forward Exchange Contracts

The Company holds forward exchange contracts designed to hedge forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies and to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the Company’s earnings and cash flows. Some of these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company will include in earnings amounts currently included in accumulated other comprehensive income upon recognition of cost of sales related to the underlying transaction. These contracts were not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 29, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The activity related to these contracts was not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017.

This ASU was applied retrospectively. See Note 3, Significant Accounting Policies Update, for further information.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Pension Freeze

Effective December 31, 2015, the Company's qualified pension plan was frozen with respect to future benefit accruals. Under USG Cost Accounting Standard (“CAS”) 413 the Company must determine the USG’s share of any pension curtailment adjustment calculated in accordance with CAS. Such adjustments can result in an amount due to the USG for pension plans that are in a surplus position or an amount due to the contractor for plans that are in a deficit position. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company accrued a $0.3 million liability representing its estimate of the amount due to the USG based on the Company's pension curtailment adjustment calculation, which was submitted to the USG for review in December 2016. The Company has maintained its accrual at $0.3 million as of June 29, 2018. There can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

New Hartford Property

In connection with the sale of the Company’s Music segment in 2007, the Company assumed responsibility for meeting certain requirements of the Connecticut Transfer Act (the “Transfer Act”) that applied to the transfer of the New Hartford, Connecticut, facility leased by that segment for guitar manufacturing purposes (“Ovation”). Under the Transfer Act, those responsibilities essentially consist of assessing the site's environmental conditions and remediating environmental impairments, if any, caused by Ovation's operations prior to the sale. The site is a multi-tenant industrial park, in which Ovation and other unrelated entities lease space. The environmental assessment process, which began in 2008, has been completed and site remediation is in process.

New Hartford Property - continued

The Company's estimate of its portion of the cost to assess the environmental conditions and remediate this site is $2.3 million, all of which has been accrued. The total amount paid to date in connection with these environmental remediation activities is $1.6 million. At June 29, 2018, the Company had $0.7 million accrued for these environmental remediation activities. A portion ($0.1 million) of the accrual related to this property is included in other current liabilities and the balance is included in other long-term liabilities. The remaining balance of the accrual reflects the total anticipated cost of completing these environmental remediation activities. Although it is reasonably possible that additional costs will be paid in connection with the resolution of this matter, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of such additional costs, if any, at this time.

Bloomfield Property

In connection with the Company’s 2008 purchase of the portion of the Bloomfield campus that Kaman Aerospace Corporation had leased from NAVAIR, the Company assumed responsibility for environmental remediation at the facility as may be required under the Transfer Act and is currently remediating the property under the guidance of the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection ("CTDEP"). The assumed environmental liability of $10.3 million was determined by taking the undiscounted estimated remediation liability of $20.8 million and discounting it at a rate of 8%. This remediation process will take many years to complete. The total amount paid to date in connection with these environmental remediation activities is $13.5 million. At June 29, 2018, the Company had $2.2 million accrued for these environmental remediation activities. A portion ($0.4 million) of the accrual related to this property is included in other current liabilities, and the balance is included in other long-term liabilities. Although it is reasonably possible that additional costs will be paid in connection with the resolution of this matter, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of such additional costs, if any, at this time.

Rimpar Property

In connection with the Company's purchase of GRW, the Company assumed responsibility for the environmental remediation at the Rimpar, Germany facility. In 2016, the Company completed an assessment which determined the estimated remediation liability was $0.5 million. The total amount paid to date in connection with these environmental remediation activities is $0.2 million. The balance ($0.3 million) of the accrual related to this property is included in other current liabilities. Although it is reasonably possible that additional costs will be paid in connection with the resolution of this matter, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of such additional costs, if any, at this time.

Aerospace Claim Matter

On June 29, 2016, the Company received notification from a customer of their intent to file a claim for recovery of costs and expenses related to rework on certain aerostructure components previously delivered by the Company to the customer. The original notification did not indicate the extent of the rework undertaken by the customer, the cost or expenses incurred by the customer or the time frame in which the customer anticipated filing its formal claim. On October 17, 2017, the Company received a letter from the customer seeking to recover $12.4 million associated with the rework of these components and related costs incurred by the customer. The Company estimates the cost to rework the aerostructure components delivered to the customer over the time period in question is approximately $0.2 million. In the first half of 2018, the parties continued to exchange correspondence and supporting documentation to support their respective positions. The parties continue to seek resolution of this claim through further discussions and negotiations. The Company does not believe the claim has merit and will continue to vigorously defend against the claim, and will pursue appropriate legal remedies necessary to protect its position. Based on this analysis, the Company has accrued $0.2 million, the estimated cost to rework the aerostructure components, as of June 29, 2018; however, there can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Offset Agreement

During January 2018, the Company entered into an offset agreement as a condition to obtaining orders from a foreign customer for the Company's JPF product. At June 29, 2018, the offset agreement had an outstanding notional value of approximately $194.0 million; however, the ultimate value is subject to the nature of the Company's satisfaction of these requirements. This agreement is designed to return economic value to the foreign country by requiring the Company to engage in activities supporting local defense or commercial industries, promoting a balance of trade, developing in-country technology capabilities or addressing other local development priorities. The offset agreement may be satisfied through activities that do not require a direct cash payment, including transferring technology, providing manufacturing, training and other consulting support to in-country projects and the purchase by third parties of supplies from in-country vendors. This agreement may also be satisfied through the Company's use of cash for activities, such as subcontracting with local partners, purchasing supplies from in-country vendors, providing financial support for in-country projects and making investments in local ventures. The amount ultimately applied against the offset agreement is based on negotiations with the customer and may require cash outlays that represent only a fraction of the notional value in the offset agreement. The offset program extends for several years and provides for potential penalties up to $16.5 million payable to the customer in the event the offset requirements of the contract are not met. The Company is currently in the process of developing a plan to satisfy the offset requirements.

14. COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on net earnings divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. The computation of diluted earnings per share reflects the common stock equivalency of dilutive options granted to employees under the Company's stock incentive plan, shares issuable on redemption of its convertible notes and shares issuable upon redemption of outstanding warrants.

2017 Convertible Notes

For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 30, 2017, shares issuable under the 2017 Notes that were dilutive during the period were included in the calculation of earnings per share as the conversion price for the 2017 Notes was less than the average share price of the Company's stock.

2024 Convertible Notes

For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, shares issuable under the Convertible Notes due 2024 were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because the conversion price was less than the average market price of the Company's stock during the periods. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 30, 2017, shares issuable under the Convertible Notes due 2024 were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because the conversion price was greater than the average market price of the Company's stock during the periods.

Warrants

For the fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, shares issuable under the warrants issued in connection with the Company's 2017 Notes were included in the calculation for diluted earnings per share as the strike price of the warrants was less than the average price of the Company's stock.

15. SHARE-BASED ARRANGEMENTS

General

The Company accounts for stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance shares as equity awards and measures the cost of all share-based payments, including stock options, at fair value on the grant date and recognizes this cost in the statement of operations. The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan which is accounted for as a liability award.

Compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards. Share-based compensation expense recorded for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, was $2.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively. Share-based compensation expense recorded for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 30, 2017, was $2.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

From time-to-time, the Company has issued stock awards with market and performance based conditions. Currently, there are three awards with these conditions that have not been settled. The number of shares earned under an award granted in 2014 has been determined at a 139.9% achievement level, representing 1,506 shares to be delivered in 2019. The number of shares earned under an award granted in 2015 has been determined at a 142.3% achievement level, representing 1,573 shares to be delivered in 2019. The remaining shares for the award granted in 2016 has not yet been determined; however, assuming a 100% achievement level, the number of shares would be 1,060. The Company measures the cost of these awards based on their grant date fair value to the extent of the probable number of shares to be earned upon vesting. Amortization of this cost is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Throughout the course of the requisite service period, the Company monitors the level of achievement compared to the target and adjusts the number of shares expected to be earned, and the related compensation expense recorded thereafter, to reflect the updated most probable outcome. Compensation expense for these awards for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, and June 30, 2017, was not material.

⁽¹⁾ Service revenue was not material for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017.

The following table illustrates the approximate percentage of revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied over time versus the amount of revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied at a point in time for the Aerospace segment:

	For the Three Months Ended		For the Six Months Ended
In thousands	June 29, 2018		June 29, 2018
Revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied:
Over time	48	%	50	%

Total revenue(1)	100	%	100	%

⁽¹⁾ The disaggregation of revenue recognized for performance satisfied over time versus point-in-time has not been included for the Distribution segment, as the majority of its revenue is recognized on a point-in-time basis with only approximately 2% of revenue recognized for performance obligations over time.

The majority of the Distribution's segment revenue is recognized at the point in time when title transfers to the customer, as this is when the performance obligations are generally controlled by the customer. A small percentage of revenue within the Distribution segment, specifically certain contracts for value-add services, engineering services and repairs, are accounted for over time. The majority of the Distribution segment's revenue is short cycle in nature with shipments occurring within one year from order. Payment terms generally range from 30 to 90 days from delivery.

Disaggregation of Revenue - continued

For the Aerospace segment, the timing related to the satisfaction of performance obligations and the typical timing of payment could vary between military, fuzing and commercial contracts. For the Aerospace segment's military and fuzing contracts with the USG, payment terms typically include progress payments, and the satisfaction of these performance obligations does not vary significantly from timing of payment. For firm-fixed price military and fuzing contracts with foreign militaries, the satisfaction of performance obligations could occur at a point in time or over time, depending on the nature of the performance obligations and the right to payment terms in the contracts. Generally, payment terms for these types of contracts range from 30 to 180 days from delivery; however, at times, the Company may negotiate advance payments to cover a portion of the initial costs. Payment terms for firm-fixed price commercial contracts generally range from 30 to 90 days from delivery. The satisfaction of these performance obligations could occur at a point in time or over time, depending on the nature of the performance obligations and the right to payment terms in the contracts. For certain commercial contracts, the Company may negotiate advance payments for long-lead materials.

18. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

During the fourth quarter of 2017, Tax Reform was enacted by the federal government. The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 ("SAB 118") in December 2017, which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of Tax Reform. SAB 118 provides a measurement period in which to finalize the accounting under Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740") as it relates to Tax Reform. This measurement period should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Reform enactment date. In accordance with SAB 118, the Company is required to reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the legislation for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that the Company's accounting for certain of the income tax effects is incomplete, but the Company is capable of reasonably estimating the effects, the Company must record a provisional amount in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements based on this estimate. To the extent the Company could not reasonably estimate the provisional impacts of Tax Reform, the Company is required to apply ASC 740 on the basis of tax law in place immediately prior to the enactment. In accordance with SAB 118, the revaluation of U.S. net deferred tax assets, the U.S. income tax attributable to Tax Reform's deemed repatriation provision (currently estimated to be zero) and the tax consequences relating to states with current conformity to the Internal Revenue Code are provisional amounts due to the enactment date and the complexities of Tax Reform. The new tax legislation provides for significant changes in corporate taxation, including a reduction in the applicable corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. As a result of this rate reduction, the Company's U.S. net deferred tax assets were required to be revalued as of December 31, 2017. This resulted in a one-time charge to tax expense of $9.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Other Tax Reform provisions that will impact the Company include the elimination of the deduction for manufacturing activities, changes to the deductibility of executive compensation and various international tax law changes. There were no changes to the provisional amounts in the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018.

One of the international tax law changes provided for with Tax Reform relates to the taxation of a corporation's global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. The Company has evaluated this provision of Tax Reform and the application of ASC 740, and does not believe that GILTI will have a significant impact.

The effective income tax rate represents the combined federal, state and foreign tax effects attributable to pretax earnings for the period. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, compared to the corresponding rate in the prior year, was primarily due to the aforementioned rate reduction resulting from Tax Reform, as well as certain discrete items relating to the 2017 provision to return adjustments and benefits from stock-based compensation. In addition, the effective tax rate for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 30, 2017 was negatively impacted by a foreign loss for which no tax benefit has been provided.

A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, including those associated with net operating loss carryforwards, is recognized when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. To assess that likelihood, the Company uses estimates and judgment regarding future taxable income, and considers the tax consequences in the jurisdiction where such taxable income is generated, to determine whether a valuation allowance is required. Such evidence can include current financial position, results of operations, both actual and forecasted, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning strategies, as well as the current and forecasted business economics.

The Company has assessed both positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize operating loss carryforwards associated with certain foreign operations that will permit the Company to use $3.2 million of deferred tax assets associated with these losses as of June 29, 2018. Through the end of the second quarter of 2018, the Company believes it is more likely than not that only $0.5 million of these deferred tax assets will be realized and, as such, has recorded a valuation allowance of $2.7 million. Going forward, management will continue to assess the available positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is likely sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit the use of these deferred tax assets. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income are reduced or increased, or if additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as future expected growth because objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present.

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

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is intended to provide readers of our condensed consolidated financial statements with the perspectives of management. It presents, in narrative and tabular form, information regarding our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results, and is designed to enable the readers of this report to obtain an understanding of our businesses, strategies, current trends and future prospects. It should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 ("2017 Form 10-K") and the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

OVERVIEW OF BUSINESS

Kaman Corporation (the "Company") is comprised of two business segments:

• The Distribution segment is a leading power transmission, automation and fluid power industrial distributor with operations throughout the United States. The segment provides electro-mechanical products, bearings, power transmission, motion control and electrical and fluid power components, along with engineered integrated solutions for our customers' most challenging applications, serving a broad spectrum of industrial markets comprised of both maintenance, repair and overhaul ("MRO") and original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") customers.

• The Aerospace segment produces and markets aerospace solutions consisting of military and defense, missile and bomb fuze and commercial aerospace products. These solutions include proprietary aircraft bearings and components; super precision, miniature ball bearings for the medical, industrial and aerospace markets; complex metallic and composite aerostructures for commercial, military and general aviation fixed and rotary wing aircraft; and safe and arming solutions for missile and bomb systems for the U.S. and allied militaries. The segment also markets the design and supply of aftermarket parts to businesses performing MRO in aerospace markets; performs helicopter subcontract work; restores, modifies and supports our SH-2G Super Seasprite maritime helicopters; manufactures and supports our K-MAX® manned and unmanned medium-to-heavy lift helicopters; and provides engineering design, analysis and certification services.

Financial performance

• Net sales increased 4.3% for the three-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018, compared to the comparable fiscal period in the prior year, primarily driven by a 4.1% increase in net sales resulting from the adoption of ASC 606, which generally accelerates the recognition of revenue ahead of deliveries. Net sales increased 5.3% for the six-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018, compared to the comparable period in the prior year, driven by a 7.0% increase in net sales resulting from the adoption of ASC 606, partially offset by a decrease of 1.7% in net sales absent the adoption of ASC 606.

• Net earnings increased 12.2% and 47.7% for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, compared to the comparable fiscal periods in the prior year, with a portion of these increases reflecting the benefits realized from the Tax Cut and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform").

• Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.53 for the three-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018, compared to $0.48 in the comparable fiscal period in the prior year. For the six-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018, diluted earnings per share increased to $1.03, compared to $0.70 in the comparable fiscal period in the prior year.

• Cash provided by operating activities during the six-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018, was $93.7 million as compared to cash used by operating activities of $0.2 million in the comparable fiscal period in the prior year. The change of $93.9 million was primarily due to an advance payment received under a Joint Programmable Fuze ("JPF") direct commercial sales ("DCS") contract.

• Total backlog increased 30.6% to $969.0 million compared to total backlog at December 31, 2017, mostly driven by JPF orders.

Recent events

• In June 2018, our Aerospace segment received its first order under Option 14 of its JPF contract with the U.S. Air Force ("USAF"). This order has an expected value of approximately $69 million.

• In May 2018, the Company donated a refurbished SH-2F Seasprite helicopter to the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, FL.

• In April 2018, our Aerospace segment entered into a new contract with Bell Helicopter to manufacture sheet metal details and subassemblies for the AH-1Z attack helicopter. The expected total value of the contract is approximately $25.6 million annually with deliveries anticipated in 2019 and 2020.

34

• In April 2018, we contributed an additional $10.0 million to the pension plan, increasing total contributions to $20.0 million in 2018. The Company had not made annual contributions to the pension plan in excess of $10.0 million since 2010.

• In April 2018, the Company announced its plan to pay a bonus of $1,000 to approximately 2,400 eligible employees as a way of sharing benefits from Tax Reform.

• In April 2018, the Company celebrated a collaboration agreement with Airbus, which designated the Company as a strategic technology partner.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated Results

On January 1, 2018, we adopted the new accounting standard that resulted in the net periodic pension cost and net postretirement cost other than service costs to no longer be presented in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, but instead be presented within non-service pension and post retirement benefit cost. See Note 3, Significant Accounting Policies Update, for further details.

Also on January 1, 2018, we adopted new revenue recognition guidance ("ASC 606") using the modified retrospective method. As a result, we applied the new revenue recognition guidance only to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018; therefore, current period results are presented under the new revenue recognition guidance and prior period results are presented in accordance with previous revenue recognition guidance ("ASC 605"). See Note 3, Significant Accounting Policies Update, for further details.

The method of revenue recognition at the Distribution segment remained substantially the same. Under the new revenue recognition guidance Distribution will recognize revenue using the point-in-time method, at the time control of products is transferred to our customers.

In the prior period, the majority of our long-term contracts in the Aerospace segment were accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method using units-of-delivery as a measurement basis, generally recognizing revenue upon delivery to our customer. Revenue recognition under many of these contracts has moved to an over time method under the new revenue recognition guidance, using input costs as the basis for recognizing progress to completion. Under this method, revenue is generally recognized when costs are incurred as work progresses on a program prior to delivery to the customer. The two programs most significantly impacted by the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance were our JPF program with the U.S. Government ("USG") and our K-MAX® program. Revenue recognition for our JPF program with the USG moved from percentage-of-completion using units-of-delivery to an over time method using input costs as the basis for recognizing progress to completion. Conversely, revenue recognition for our K-MAX® program moved from percentage-of-completion on a cost-to-cost basis to a point-in-time method with revenue recognized at the time control is transferred to our customer.

The following table details the components of the above change as a percentage of consolidated net sales:

	For the Three Months Ended		For the Six Months Ended
	June 29, 2018		June 29, 2018
Increase in sales associated with ASC 606	4.1	%	7.0	%
Change in sales absent the adoption impact of ASC 606	0.2	%	(1.7	)%
Change in net sales	4.3	%	5.3	%

Net sales increased for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2017, due to an increase in net sales of $18.5 million and $62.0 million, respectively, resulting from the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance, primarily at Aerospace. Additionally, higher sales volume at our Distribution segment contributed to the overall increase in net sales for both periods. Under the new guidance, revenue recognition will generally be accelerated ahead of deliveries for certain aerospace programs and distribution contracts. Absent the adoption impact of ASC 606, net sales at our Aerospace segment decreased for both periods. Foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar had a favorable impact of $2.5 million and $6.6 million for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, respectively. See the segment discussion below for further information.

Gross profit increased for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2017, attributable to higher gross profit of $5.1 million and $15.3 million, respectively, resulting from the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance, primarily at Aerospace. Additionally, for the six-month fiscal period, the Distribution segment experienced higher gross profit in its fluid power product line. These increases were partially offset by decreases in gross profit of $3.8 million and $6.3 million absent the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance at our Aerospace segment.

The increase in gross profit associated with the new revenue recognition guidance for both periods was primarily related to gross profit recognized on our JPF contract with the USG, as we recognized revenue associated with the cost incurred in the period for units we expect to deliver later in 2018. Additionally, we recognized revenue and related gross profit on one K-MAX® aircraft in the three-month fiscal period and two K-MAX® aircraft in the six-month fiscal period.

The $3.8 million decrease in gross profit in Aerospace absent the adoption of ASC 606 for three-month fiscal period was primarily attributable to fewer deliveries of our JPF to the USG and lower sales and associated gross profit on certain composite structures programs.

The $6.3 million decrease in gross profit in Aerospace absent the adoption of ASC 606 for the six-month fiscal period was primarily attributable to fewer deliveries of our JPF to the USG, lower sales and gross profit on the K-MAX® program and certain composite structures programs, and lower gross profit under our legacy fuze programs and the AH-1Z program. These decreases were partially offset by higher direct commercial sales of our JPF to foreign militaries and the associated gross profit.

The increase in S,G&A for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, compared to the corresponding periods in 2017, was primarily attributable to higher corporate expenses and higher expenses at our Distribution segment, which was mainly driven by higher employee and employee-related costs. The increase in corporate expenses for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods was primarily related to an increase in employee and employee-related costs, higher long-term incentive compensation costs, an increase in fees associated with a legacy legal matter and higher charitable contributions. S,G&A expenses at our Aerospace segment remained relatively flat when compared to the corresponding periods in 2017.

Restructuring Costs

	(in thousands)
Restructuring costs	$	1,954	$	—	$	3,647	$	—

During the third quarter of 2017, we announced restructuring activities at our Aerospace segment to support the ongoing effort of improving capacity utilization and operating efficiency to better position the Company for increased profitability and growth. Such actions include workforce reductions and the consolidation of operations, which we expect to continue through the planned completion in the fourth quarter of 2018. In the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, we recorded $1.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively, in costs associated with these restructuring activities. In addition to these costs, the Aerospace segment incurred $0.3 million and $1.2 million in other non-related restructuring costs associated with the termination of certain distributor agreements and separations costs associated with certain employees not included in the restructuring activities discussed above in the three-month and six-month fiscal periods, respectively. The Distribution segment incurred $0.1 million in separation costs for certain employees in the three-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018.

Operating income decreased for the three-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018, versus the comparable period in 2017. This was due to lower operating income at both our Distribution and Aerospace segments and higher corporate expenses. These changes were partially offset by an increase in operating income of $3.2 million resulting from the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance, primarily at Aerospace, and a $1.6 million net gain on the sale of assets.

37

Operating income increased for the six-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018, versus the comparable period in 2017. This was due to higher operating income of $12.8 million resulting from the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance and a $1.6 million net gain on the sale of assets. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in operating income of $10.9 million absent the adoption of ASC 606 and higher corporate expenses. (See segment discussion below for additional information.)

Interest Expense, Net

	(in thousands)
Interest expense, net	$	5,002	$	6,122	$	10,354	$	10,282

Interest expense, net, generally consists of interest charged on our Credit Agreement, which includes a revolving credit facility and a term loan facility, and our convertible notes and the amortization of debt issuance costs, offset by interest income.

The decrease in interest expense, net for the three-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018, compared to the corresponding period in 2017, was primarily attributable to lower average borrowings in the current period and the absence of write-offs associated with the redemption of our 2017 Notes in the prior period related to unamortized debt issuance costs and the unamortized debt discount of $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by higher interest expense under our 2024 Notes, an increase in letters of credit fees and a higher interest rate for outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement. At June 29, 2018, the interest rate for outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement was 2.86%, compared to 2.69% at June 30, 2017.

Interest expense, net for the six-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018 remained relatively flat when compared to the corresponding period in 2017. This was primarily attributable to higher interest expense under our 2024 Notes, an increase in letter of credit fees, and a higher interest rate for outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement, as discussed above. These increases were mostly offset by the absence of costs associated with the redemption of our 2017 Notes in the prior year, as discussed above, and lower average borrowings. (See Liquidity and Capital Resources section below for information on our borrowings.)

Effective Income Tax Rate

	For the Three Months Ended				For the Six Months Ended
	June 29, 2018		June 30, 2017		June 29, 2018		June 30, 2017
Effective income tax rate	18.6	%	36.9	%	21.8	%	37.4	%

The effective income tax rate represents the combined federal, state and foreign tax effects attributable to pretax earnings for the period. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, compared to the corresponding rate for the prior year, was primarily due to the rate reduction resulting from Tax Reform, as well as certain discrete items relating to the 2017 provision to return adjustments and benefits from stock-based compensation. In addition, the effective tax rate for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 30, 2017 was negatively impacted by a foreign loss for which no tax benefit has been provided.

Backlog increased during the first six months of 2018, primarily driven by activity at our Aerospace segment. The increase in backlog at Aerospace was primarily associated with orders of our JPF and bearings products and orders under our AH-1Z program and composite structures programs, partially offset by a decrease in backlog primarily due to the acceleration of $55.6 million of revenue for deliveries that would have occurred in 2018 as part of the cumulative effect adjustment resulting from the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance, deliveries of direct commercial JPF orders and bearings products, and work performed on various programs.

Net sales

Net sales for the three-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018 increased when compared to the corresponding period in 2017, with $3.1 million of the increase resulting from the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance. The remainder of the increase in net sales was primarily attributable to an increase in sales associated with our fluid power and bearings and power transmission product lines. These increases were mostly attributable to higher sales volume to our OEM and MRO customers. Looking at the markets we serve, sales were higher in the machinery manufacturing and food manufacturing markets, partially offset by lower sales in the mining market.

Net sales for the six-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018 increased when compared to the corresponding period in 2017, with $4.3 million of the increase resulting from the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance. The remainder of the increase in net sales was attributable to an increase in sales associated with our bearings and power transmission product line and less significant increases in our fluid power and automation, control and energy product lines. These increases were mostly attributable to higher sales volume to our OEM customers and a less significant increase in sales volume to our MRO customers. Looking at the markets we serve, sales were higher in the machinery manufacturing, food manufacturing, transportation equipment manufacturing and chemical manufacturing markets. Partially offsetting these increases were lower sales in the nonmetallic mineral product manufacturing, merchant wholesalers, durable goods and mining markets.

The adoption of new revenue recognition guidance did not have a material impact on the Distribution segment as the method of revenue recognition remains substantially the same when compared to the prior revenue recognition guidance. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, the majority of revenue was recorded on a point-in-time basis due to the notion that our products have alternative use. Only a small percentage of revenue was recorded on an over time basis, which includes value-add services, engineering services and repairs.

"Organic Sales per Sales Day" is a metric management uses to evaluate performance trends at our Distribution segment and is calculated by taking Organic Sales divided by the number of Sales Days in the period. The following table illustrates the calculation of Organic Sales per Sales Day.

Operating income

Operating income for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018 decreased when compared to the corresponding periods in 2017. This was primarily due to an increase in employee and employee-related costs, including one-time employee incentives, a reduction in our estimated vendor incentives and higher group health insurance costs, partially offset by higher gross profit in our fluid power product line.

Other Matters

Enterprise Resource Planning System

We are continuing the process of implementing a new ERP business system at our Distribution segment, initially announced in 2012 with an estimated total cost of $45.0 million. Since the initial announcement, a couple of factors have delayed the full implementation of the ERP at this segment. The first of these factors is the acquisition of nine businesses leading to additional scope from the initial project plan. Second, multiple upgraded versions of the software have been released and we have elected to install these major upgrades in order to benefit from the improved functionality, the enhanced features these upgrades offer and the new user interface they provide. Each of these upgrades required additional development, integration and extensive testing. Distribution continues to work closely with the software vendor on functional and performance testing of the latest upgrade to ensure it meets management's expectations. As a result of these factors, the total project cost is currently estimated between $51.0 million and $54.0 million.

For the three-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, and June 30, 2017, ERP system expenses incurred totaled $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and ERP system capital expenditures totaled $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively. For the six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, and June 30, 2017, ERP system expenses incurred totaled $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and ERP system capital expenditures totaled $1.5 million and $1.9 million, respectively. Total to date ERP system capital expenditures as of June 29, 2018, were $39.6 million. Depreciation expense for the ERP system for the three-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, and June 30, 2017, totaled $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Depreciation expense for the ERP system for the six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, and June 30, 2017, totaled $1.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Net sales

Net sales increased for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2017. These increases were attributable to increases in net sales of $15.4 million and $57.7 million, respectively, resulting from the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance, as discussed below. These increases were partially offset by decreases in net sales of $7.1 million and $34.3 million, respectively, absent the adoption of ASC 606. The decreases in sales absent the adoption of ASC 606 were primarily a result of lower sales under the K-MAX® program, the Sikorsky BLACK HAWK helicopter program, a composite structures program and the Boeing 767/777 program, and fewer deliveries of our JPF to the USG. These decreases, totaling $12.5 million for the three-month period and $64.0 million for the six-month period, were partially offset by an increase in sales volume of our bearings products. Additionally offsetting the decreases in the six-month period were higher direct commercial sales of our JPF to foreign militaries. Foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar had a favorable impact of $2.5 million and $6.6 million on net sales for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, respectively.

The increase in sales for both periods resulting from the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance was primarily related to recognizing sales under our JPF program with the USG on an over time method using the cost-to-cost basis in the current period compared to percentage-of-completion using units-of-delivery in the comparable period in 2017 and the recognition of sales for our K-MAX® program at a point in time in the current periods compared to a percentage-of-completion on a cost-to-cost basis in the comparable periods in 2017.

Operating income

Operating income decreased for the three-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018, compared to the corresponding period in 2017. This decrease was attributable to a $5.2 million decrease in operating income absent the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance, partially offset by an increase in operating income resulting from the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance of $2.2 million, as discussed below. The decrease in operating income for the three-month fiscal period absent the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance was primarily attributable to lower sales and associated gross profit for certain composite structures programs, fewer deliveries of our JPF to the USG and restructuring costs in the current period.

Operating income increased for the six-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018, compared to the corresponding period in 2017. This increase was attributable to a $11.8 million increase in operating income resulting from the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance, as discussed below, partially offset by a decrease in operating income absent the adoption of ASC 606 of $8.1 million. The decrease in operating income absent the adoption of ASC 606 was primarily due to lower sales and associated gross profit under our JPF program with the USG, the K-MAX® program, and certain composite structures programs, lower gross profit on our legacy fuze programs and the AH-1Z program, and restructuring costs incurred in the current period. These changes, totaling $20.5 million, were partially offset by higher direct commercial sales and associated gross profit of our JPF to foreign militaries.

The increase in operating income for both periods resulting from the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance was primarily related to recognizing sales and the associated gross profit under our JPF program with the USG on a cost-to-cost basis in the current period compared to percentage-of-completion using units-of-delivery in the comparable period in 2017 and the recognition of sales and associated gross profit under the K-MAX® program at a point in time in the current period compared to on a cost-to-cost basis in the comparable period in 2017.

Long-Term Contracts

For long-term aerospace contracts, we generally recognize sales and cost of sales over time because of continuous transfer of control to the customer, which allows for recognition of revenue as work on a contract progresses. For those programs for which there is a continuous transfer of control to the customer, we recognize sales and profit on a cost-to-cost basis, in which case sales and profit are recorded based upon the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs to complete the contract. Conversely, revenue on certain programs, such as the K-MAX® program and on direct commercial sales under our JPF program, is recognized at a point in time, with revenue being recognized upon transfer to the end customer.

42

Revenue and cost estimates for all significant long-term contracts for which revenue is recognized over time are reviewed and reassessed quarterly. Based upon these reviews, we record the effects of adjustments in profit estimates each period. If at any time we determine that for a particular contract total costs will exceed total contract revenue, we will record a provision for the entire anticipated contract loss at that time. The amount of revenue recognized in the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018 from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods, was $1.4 million and $3.0 million. These amounts were primarily related to changes in the estimates of the stage of completion of Aerospace contracts, more specifically the JPF contract with the USG, the AH-1Z contract and the SH-2G contract with Peru. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 30, 2017, there were net increases in the Company's operating income of $1.1 million and $2.1 million from changes in contract estimates, respectively. These increases were primarily a result of improved performance on the JPF USG Program, the AH-1Z program and the SH-2G program with Peru. These improvements were partially offset by cost growth on the K-MAX® and A-10 programs.

Major Programs/Product Lines

Below is a discussion of significant changes in the Aerospace segment's major programs during the first six months of 2018. See our 2017 Form 10-K for a complete discussion of our Aerospace segment's programs.

FMU-152 A/B – Joint Programmable Fuze (“JPF”)

We manufacture the JPF, an electro-mechanical bomb safe and arming device, which allows the settings of a weapon to be programmed in flight. The Company currently provides the FMU-152 A/B to the United States Air Force (“USAF”) and thirty-six other nations. Sales of these fuzes can be direct to the USAF, Foreign Military Sales ("FMS") through the USG and Direct Commercial Sales ("DCS") to foreign militaries that, although not funded by the USG, require regulatory approvals from the USG.

We occasionally experience lot acceptance test failures due to the complexity of the product and the extreme parameters of the acceptance test. Given the maturity of the product, we now generally experience isolated failures, rather than systemic ones. As a result, identifying a root cause can take longer and result in inconsistent delivery quantities from quarter to quarter.

A total of 7,038 fuzes were delivered to our customers during the second quarter of 2018, which consisted of 6,622 fuzes delivered to the USG and 416 fuzes delivered as direct commercial sales to foreign governments. A total of 10,972 fuzes have been delivered during the first half of 2018. We expect to deliver 34,000 to 38,000 fuzes in 2018, primarily consisting of orders from the USG in order to meet the USG's current demand.

Total JPF backlog at June 29, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $427.4 million and $128.2 million, respectively.

JPF - USG

Under the new revenue recognition standard adopted January 1, 2018, revenue is recognized over time when costs are incurred as work progresses on the program to delivery of the program.

The Company currently provides the FMU-152 A/B to the USAF, but the U.S. Navy currently utilizes a different fuze - the FMU-139. In 2015, NAVAIR solicited proposals for a firm fixed price production contract to implement improvements to the performance characteristics of the FMU-139 (such improved fuze having been designated the FMU-139 D/B), and, the USAF had stated that, if and when a contract is awarded and production begins, the funds associated with the FMU-152 A/B will be redirected to the FMU-139 D/B. During the third quarter of 2015, the U.S. Navy announced that a competitor was awarded the contract for the FMU-139 D/B. In the event the FMU-139 D/B program proceeds as planned and the USAF redirects the funds associated with the FMU-152 A/B to the FMU-139 D/B, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be materially adversely impacted. The timing of the impact on our financial statements is dependent on the ability of our competitor to complete the design and qualification phase of the program and other factors. Our competitor has publicly stated that this program is expected to have a 32-month qualification phase, preceding production. Due to the complexity of this program, the uncertainty associated with the successful completion of each phase in accordance with the planned schedule and the pending status of the USAF's final decision to redirect funds to the FMU-139 D/B, the timing and magnitude of the impact on the Company's financial statements is not certain; however, the Company continues to see strong demand for the FMU-152 A/B. In 2017, we were awarded Options 13 and 14 with the USG. The USAF has exercised two orders under Option 13, which have a total value of more than $102.0 million, and one order under Option 14 with an expected value of approximately $69.0 million. Additionally, the USAF issued a Notice of Contract Action announcing its intent to award us Options 15 and 16, which, if and when awarded, would extend FMU-152 A/B deliveries into 2022.

43

JPF - DCS

Revenue for DCS programs is generally recognized at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer under the new revenue recognition guidance. The Company continues to see strong demand for DCS fuzes. During the first quarter of 2018, we were awarded a DCS contract totaling approximately $324.0 million, of which $307.5 million was included in backlog as of June 29, 2018. The remaining $16.5 million relates to potential penalties payable to the customer in the event the offset requirements of the contract are not met. The offset requirements associated with this contract could extend for several years and have a notional value of approximately $194.0 million; however, the ultimate value is subject to the nature of our satisfaction of these requirements as discussed more fully below. This agreement is designed to return economic value to the foreign country by requiring us to engage in activities supporting local defense or commercial industries, promoting a balance of trade, developing in-country technology capabilities or addressing other local development priorities. The offset agreement may be satisfied through activities that do not require a direct cash payment, including transferring technology, providing manufacturing, training and other consulting support to in-country projects and the purchase by third parties of supplies from in-country vendors. This agreement may also be satisfied through the Company's use of cash for activities, such as subcontracting with local partners, purchasing supplies from in-country vendors, providing financial support for in-country projects and making investments in local ventures. The amount ultimately applied against the offset agreement is based on negotiations with the customer and may require cash outlays that represent only a fraction of the notional value in the offset agreement. The Company is currently in the process of developing a plan to satisfy the offset requirements.

K-MAX®

During 2015, we announced that our Aerospace segment was resuming production of commercial K-MAX® aircraft. The aircraft are being manufactured at our Jacksonville, Florida and Bloomfield, Connecticut facilities. The first six helicopters from the newly reopened commercial production line were accepted by our customers through the first half of 2018.

As ofJune 29, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our backlog for this program was $14.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The increase in backlog reflects the adoption of the new revenue standard, with the recognition of sales under the K-MAX® program at a point in time in the current period compared to on a cost-to-cost basis in the comparable period in 2017. During the first half of 2018, two aircraft have been accepted by our customers. Customer acceptance of an aircraft has been delayed shifting delivery of the aircraft from the first half of 2018; however, we continue to work with our customer to resolve the matter.

During 2017, we announced that we will continue production of the commercial K-MAX® aircraft into 2019 at a minimum due to continued interest in the capabilities of the K-MAX®. We did not receive any new orders of the K-MAX® aircraft during the quarter.

A-10

The segment is under contract with Boeing to produce the wing control surfaces (inboard and outboard flaps, slats and deceleron assemblies) for the USAF's A-10 fleet. Initial deliveries under this program began in 2010 and full rate production began in 2012. Through June 29, 2018, we have received orders for 173 shipsets equivalent to the number of orders Boeing has received from the USAF. Of that amount, we have delivered 172 shipsets over the life of the program. Revenues for the six-month fiscal period ending June 29, 2018 were not material.

The USAF confirmed that the A-10 fleet will continue to fly indefinitely due to its unique close-air support functions, with support from both Congress and the White House necessitating the re-winging of additional aircraft in the fleet. In March 2018, the 2018 Appropriations Act was enacted, authorizing the USAF to spend an additional $103.0 million for A-10 wing replacements. In June 2018, the 2019 Defense Authorization Act was passed, authorizing $65.0 million for A-10 wing replacements. We have not received any additional orders beyond 173 shipsets; however, during the first quarter of 2018 we received a request for quotation for 112 shipsets from our customer. Final production and deliveries of existing orders under this contract are anticipated to be completed during 2018. We have not received any indication from our customer that this program will be terminated. At June 29, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our program backlog was $0.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Included in contract costs at June 29, 2018 was nonrecurring costs of $2.1 million related to this program to be utilized on future shipset orders, which may not be recoverable in the event of an extended break in production or program termination.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Discussion and Analysis of Cash Flows

We assess liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund working capital requirements and investing and financing activities. Significant factors affecting liquidity include: cash flows generated from or used by operating activities, capital expenditures, investments in our business segments and their programs, acquisitions, divestitures, dividends, availability of future credit, adequacy of available bank lines of credit, and factors that might otherwise affect the company's business and operations generally, as described under the heading “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” in Item 1A of Part I of our 2017 Form 10-K.

We continue to rely upon bank financing as an important source of liquidity for our business activities including acquisitions. We believe this, when combined with cash generated from operating activities, will be sufficient to support our anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future; however, we may decide to borrow additional funds or raise additional equity capital to support other business activities including potential future acquisitions.

We anticipate a variety of items will have an impact on our liquidity during the next 12 months, in addition to our working capital requirements. These could include one or more of the following:

• the matters described in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in addition to the cost of existing environmental remediation matters and deposits required to be made to the environmental escrow for our former Moosup facility;

• deferred compensation payments to former directors and officers;

• contributions to our qualified pension plan and Supplemental Employees’ Retirement Plan (“SERP”);

• interest payments on outstanding debt;

• income tax payments;

• operating lease payments;

• capital expenditures;

• repurchases of common stock under the 2015 Share Repurchase Program;

• payment of dividends;

• costs associated with the start-up of new aerospace programs; and

• the extension of payment terms by our customers and delays in letter of credit funding.

In addition to the items listed above we anticipate receiving approximately $97.2 million in 2018 as an advance payment under a JPF DCS contract. As of June 29, 2018, we have received $81.0 million related to this advance payment.

We regularly monitor credit market conditions to identify potential issues that may adversely affect, or provide opportunities for, the securing and/or advantageous pricing of additional financing, if any, that may be necessary to continue with our growth strategy and finance working capital requirements.

Management regularly monitors pension plan asset performance and the assumptions used in the determination of our benefit obligation, comparing them to actual performance. We continue to believe the assumptions selected are valid due to the long-term nature of our benefit obligation.

Effective December 31, 2015, our qualified pension plan was frozen with respect to future benefit accruals. Under U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standard (“CAS”) 413, we must calculate the USG’s share of any pension curtailment adjustment calculated resulting from the freeze. Such adjustments can result in an amount due to the USG for pension plans that are in a surplus position or an amount due to the contractor for plans that are in a deficit position. During the fourth quarter of 2016, we accrued a $0.3 million liability representing our estimate of the amount due to the USG based on our pension curtailment calculation which was submitted to the USG for review in December 2016. We have maintained our accrual at $0.3 million as of June 29, 2018. There can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

45

A summary of our consolidated cash flows is as follows:

	For the Six Months Ended
	June 29, 2018			June 30, 2017			2018 vs. 2017
	(in thousands)
Total cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	93,742		$	(174	)	$	93,916
Investing activities	(14,735		)	(17,071		)	2,336
Financing activities	(87,693		)	2,497			(90,190		)
Free Cash Flow (a):
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	93,742		$	(174	)	$	93,916
Expenditures for property, plant and equipment	(15,812		)	(15,196		)	(616		)
Free cash flow	$	77,930		$	(15,370	)	$	93,300

(a) Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less expenditures for property, plant and equipment, both of which are presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Non-GAAP Financial Measures for more information regarding Free Cash Flow.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $93.7 million for the six-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018, compared to net cash used in operating activities for the comparable period in 2017 of $0.2 million. This change was primarily due to an advance payment received under a JPF DCS contract and lower accounts receivable on a JPF DCS contract in the current period, partially offset by work performed on our JPF program with the USG, legacy fuze programs and SH-2G program with Peru.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased for the six-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018, versus the comparable period in 2017, primarily due to proceeds received from the sale of assets and the absence of an earnout payment associated with a previous acquisition in the current period.

Net cash used in financing activities was $87.7 million for the six-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018, compared to net cash provided by financing activities for the comparable period in 2017 of $2.5 million. This change was primarily attributable to the absence of convertible notes transactions and higher net repayments of our revolving credit facility in the current period. In the prior period, convertible notes transactions consisted of $200.0 million in proceeds received from the issuance of our 2024 notes and $58.6 million in proceeds received related to the unwind of a portion of the convertible note hedge transactions related to our 2017 Notes, which were partially offset by the cost to repurchase a portion of the 2017 Notes, the purchase of the capped call transactions related to our 2024 Notes and higher debt issuance costs associated with the issuance of our 2024 Notes.

Financing Arrangements

Convertible Notes

During May 2017, we issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior unsecured notes due May 2024 (the "2024 Notes") pursuant to an indenture (the "Indenture"), dated May 12, 2017, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. In connection therewith, we entered into certain capped call transactions that cover, collectively, the number of shares of the Company's common stock underlying the 2024 Notes. In a separate transaction, we repurchased $103.5 million aggregate principal amount of its existing convertible senior unsecured notes due November 15, 2017 (the "2017 Notes"). In connection with the repurchase of the 2017 Notes, we settled a portion of the associated bond hedge transactions and warrant transactions we entered into in 2010 in connection with their issuance.

The remaining portion of the 2017 Notes were convertible at the option of the noteholders until the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day (as defined in the 2017 Notes indenture) immediately preceding the maturity date. On November 10, 2017 and November 13, 2017, we received conversion notices from bondholders, totaling the remaining $11.5 million principal amount outstanding under the 2017 Notes. We also settled the remaining portion of the bond hedge.

46

During the first half of 2018, we settled the remaining warrant transactions associated with the 2017 Notes. These warrants were settled with 114,778 shares of the Company's common stock, resulting in a reduction to additional paid-in-capital. See below for further discussion on the 2024 Notes and the related transactions.

2024 Notes

On May 12, 2017, we issued $175.0 million in principal amount of 2024 Notes, in a private placement offering. On May 24, 2017, we issued an additional $25.0 million in principal amount of 2024 Notes pursuant to the initial purchasers' exercise of their overallotment option, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate $200.0 million principal amount of 2024 Notes. The 2024 Notes bear 3.25% interest per annum on the principal amount, payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2017. The 2024 Notes will mature on May 1, 2024, unless earlier repurchased by the Company or converted. We will settle any conversions of the 2024 Notes in cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election.

The following table illustrates the conversion rate at the date of issuance of the 2024 Notes:

2024 Notes
Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount (1)	15.3227
Conversion Price (2)	$	65.2626
Contingent Conversion Price (3)	$	84.84
Aggregate shares to be issued upon conversion (4)	3,064,540

⁽¹⁾ Represents the number of shares of Common Stock hypothetically issuable per each $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes, subject to adjustments upon the occurrence of certain specified events in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

⁽²⁾ Represents $1,000 divided by the conversion rate as of such date. The conversion price reflects the strike price of the embedded option within the 2024 Notes. If the Company's share price exceeds the conversion price at conversion, the noteholders would be entitled to receive additional consideration either in cash, shares or a combination thereof, the form of which is at the sole discretion of the Company.

⁽³⁾ Prior to November 1, 2023, the notes are convertible only in the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after July 1, 2017, and only during any such fiscal quarter, if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock was greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, (2) during the five consecutive business day period following any ten consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period") in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after November 1, 2023, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. As of June 29, 2018, none of the conditions permitting the holders of the 2024 Notes to convert had been met. Therefore, the 2024 Notes are classified as long-term debt.

⁽⁴⁾ This represents the number of shares hypothetically issuable upon conversion of 100% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes at each date; however, the terms of the 2024 Notes state that the Company may pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company's election. The Company currently intends to settle the aggregate principal amount in cash. Amounts due in excess of the principal, if any, also may be settled in cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company's election.

In connection with the 2024 Notes offering, we entered into capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates. These transactions are intended to reduce the potential dilution to the Company's shareholders and/or offset the cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount upon any future conversion of the notes in the event that the market price per share of the Company's common stock is greater than the strike price of the capped call transactions, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price of the capped call transactions. Under the terms of the capped call transactions, the strike price ($65.2626) and the cap price ($88.7570) are each subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates entered into various derivative transactions with respect to the Company’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. The capped call transactions, which cost an aggregate $20.5 million, were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

47

The note payable principal balance for the 2024 Notes at the date of issuance of $200.0 million was bifurcated into the debt component of $179.5 million and the equity component of $20.5 million. The difference between the note payable principal balance and the fair value of the debt component representing the debt discount is being accreted to interest expense over the term of the 2024 Notes. The fair value of the debt component was recognized using a 5.0% discount rate, representing the Company's borrowing rate at the date of issuance for a similar debt instrument without a conversion feature with an expected life of seven years.

We incurred $7.4 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the sale of the 2024 Notes, which was allocated between the debt and equity components of the instrument. Of the total amount, $0.7 million was recorded as an offset to additional paid-in capital. The balance, $6.7 million, was recorded as a contra-debt balance and is being amortized over the term of the 2024 Notes. Total amortization expense for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018 was $0.7 million and $1.3 million. Total amortization expense for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 30, 2017 was $0.1 million for both periods.

Credit Agreement

We have a $700.0 million Credit Agreement, as amended, with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A. and Citizens Bank N.A. as Co-Syndication Agents and SunTrust Bank, KeyBank N.A., TD Bank, N.A., BB&T and Fifth Third Bank, as Co-Documentation Agents. The Credit Agreement matures on May 6, 2020 and has revolving commitments of $600.0 million and a Term Loan commitment of $100.0 million. Capitalized terms used but not defined within this discussion of the Credit Agreement have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement.

The term loan commitment requires quarterly payments of principal (which commenced on June 30, 2015) at the rate of $1.25 million, increasing to $1.875 million on June 30, 2017, and then to $2.5 million on June 30, 2019, with $65.0 million payable in the final quarter of the facility's term. The facility includes an accordion feature that allows us to increase the aggregate amount available to up to $900.0 million with additional commitments from the Lenders.

Interest rates on amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement are variable, and are determined based on the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio. At June 29, 2018, the interest rate for the outstanding amounts on both the revolving credit facility and term loan commitment was 2.86%. In addition, we are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the unused revolving loan commitment amount at a rate ranging from 0.175% to 0.300% per annum, based on the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio. Fees for outstanding letters of credit range from 1.25% to 2.00%, based on the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio.

The financial covenants associated with the Credit Agreement include a requirement that (i) the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio cannot be greater than 3.50 to 1.00, with an available election to increase the maximum to 3.75 to 1.00 for four consecutive quarters in connection with a Permitted Acquisition with consideration in excess of $125.0 million; (ii) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio cannot be greater than 4.00 to 1.00, with an available election to increase the maximum to 4.25 to 1.00 for four consecutive quarters in connection with a Permitted Acquisition with consideration in excess of $125.0 million; (iii) the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio cannot be less than 4.00 to 1.00; and (iv) Liquidity: (a) as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Company ending two full fiscal quarters prior to the stated maturity of the 2017 Notes, cannot be less than an amount equal to 50% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2017 Notes, and (b) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Company ending thereafter, cannot be less than an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the 2017 Notes as of such day. We were in compliance with the financial covenants as of and for the quarter ended June 29, 2018, and do not anticipate noncompliance in the foreseeable future.

In 2015, the Company incurred $2.3 million in debt issuance costs in connection with the Credit Agreement. These costs have been capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the agreement. Total amortization expense for the three-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017 was $0.2 million for both periods. Total amortization expense for the six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017 was $0.5 million for both periods.

Total average bank borrowings during the quarter ended June 29, 2018, were $170.1 million compared to $256.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. As of June 29, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there was $396.4 million and $453.3 million available for borrowing, respectively, under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of letters of credit. However, based on EBITDA levels at June 29, 2018 and December 31, 2017, amounts available for borrowing were limited to $352.4 million and $246.0 million, respectively. Letters of credit are generally considered borrowings for purposes of the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 29, 2018, $136.8 million letters of credit were outstanding, of which $136.4 million were under the revolving credit facility. Of this amount, $130.0 million letters of credit relate to a JPF DCS contract. As of December 31, 2017, $6.7 million in letters of credit were outstanding, of which, $6.5 million were under the revolving credit facility.

48

Other Sources/Uses of Capital

In 2018, we contributed $20.0 million to the qualified pension plan and $0.3 million to the SERP through the end of the second quarter. We are evaluating whether we will make further contributions to the qualified pension plan during 2018. We plan to contribute an additional $0.6 million to the SERP in 2018. For the 2017 plan year, we contributed $10.0 million to the qualified pension plan and $3.1 million to the SERP.

On April 29, 2015, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program ("2015 Share Repurchase Program") authorizing the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of the common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company. This new program replaced our 2000 Stock Repurchase Program. We currently intend to repurchase shares to offset the annual issuance of shares under our employee stock plans, but the timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including stock price, market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability and other factors, including acquisition opportunities. As of June 29, 2018, we had repurchased 924,846 shares under the 2015 Share Repurchase Program and approximately $56.3 million remained available for repurchases under this authorization.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Management believes the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures used in this report provide investors with important perspectives into our ongoing business performance. We do not intend for the information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Other companies may define the measures differently. We define the non-GAAP measures used in this report and other disclosures as follows:

Organic Sales

Organic Sales is defined as "Net Sales" less sales derived from acquisitions completed during the previous twelve months. We believe that this measure provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of acquisitions, which can obscure underlying trends. We also believe that presenting Organic Sales separately for our segments provides management and investors with useful information about the trends impacting our segments and enables a more direct comparison to other businesses and companies in similar industries. Management recognizes that the term "Organic Sales" may be interpreted differently by other companies and under different circumstances.

Organic Sales per Sales Day

Organic Sales per Sales Day is defined as GAAP "Net sales of the Distribution segment" less sales derived from acquisitions completed during the preceding twelve months divided by the number of Sales Days in a given period. Sales Days are the days that the Distribution segment's branch locations were open for business and exclude weekends and holidays. Management believes Organic Sales per Sales Day provides an important perspective on how net sales may be impacted by the number of days the segment is open for business and provides a basis for comparing periods in which the number of sales days differs.  

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow is defined as GAAP “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” in a period less “Expenditures for property, plant & equipment” in the same period. Management believes Free Cash Flow provides an important perspective on our ability to generate cash from our business operations and, as such, that it is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Company's financial performance. Free Cash Flow should not be viewed as representing the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures such as dividends to shareholders or acquisitions, as it may exclude certain mandatory expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt and other contractual obligations. Management uses Free Cash Flow internally to assess overall liquidity.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

In the first half of 2018, the Company entered into letters of credit with a total value of $130.0 million related to a JPF DCS contract. Other than these letters of credit, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in our contractual obligations or off-balance sheet arrangements during the first six months of 2018. See our 2017 Form 10-K for a discussion of our contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements.

49

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2017 Form 10-K describe the critical accounting estimates and significant accounting policies used in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. See Note 3, Significant Accounting Policies Update, for a discussion on the impact of adopting new accounting standards that became effective January 1, 2018.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Information regarding recent changes in accounting standards is included in Note 2, Recent Accounting Standards, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s exposure to market risk during the first six months of 2018. See the Company’s 2017 Form 10-K for a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 29, 2018. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 29, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls

There was no change to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We are in the process of implementing a new enterprise-wide business system for our Distribution segment. In order to minimize disruptions to our ongoing operations we have developed a project plan that takes a phased approach to implementation and includes appropriate contingency plans. The implementation of the new ERP system will likely affect the processes that constitute our internal control over financial reporting for the Distribution segment.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

General

From time to time, as a normal incident of the nature and kinds of businesses in which the Company and its subsidiaries are, and were, engaged, various claims or charges are asserted and legal proceedings are commenced by or against the Company and/or one or more of its subsidiaries. Claimed amounts may be substantial but may not bear any reasonable relationship to the merits of the claim or the extent of any real risk of court or arbitral awards. We record accruals for losses related to those matters that we consider to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies, if any, are recognized when they are realized and legal costs generally are expensed when incurred.

We evaluate, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings that could affect the amount of any accrual and developments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. Our loss contingencies are subject to substantial uncertainties, however, including for each such contingency the following, among other factors: (i) the procedural status of the case; (ii) whether the case has or may be certified as a class action suit; (iii) the outcome of preliminary motions; (iv) the impact of discovery; (v) whether there are significant factual issues to be determined or resolved; (vi) whether the proceedings involve a large number of parties and/or claims in multiple jurisdictions or jurisdictions in which the relevant laws are complex or unclear; (vii) the extent of potential damages, which are often unspecified or indeterminate; and (viii) the status of settlement discussions, if any, and the settlement postures of the parties. Because of these uncertainties, management has determined that, except as otherwise noted below, the amount of loss or range of loss that is reasonably possible in respect of each matter described below (including any reasonably possible losses in excess of amounts already accrued), is not reasonably estimable.

While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, based upon available information, management believes that all settlements, arbitration awards and final judgments, if any, which are considered probable of being rendered against us in legal proceedings and that can be reasonably estimated are accrued for at June 29, 2018. Despite this analysis, there can be no assurance that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

As of June 29, 2018, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party, nor is any of its or their property subject, to any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries. Additional information relating to certain of these matters is set forth in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Environmental Matters

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to numerous U.S. Federal, state and international environmental laws and regulatory requirements and are involved from time to time in investigations or litigation of various potential environmental issues concerning activities at our facilities or former facilities or remediation as a result of past activities (including past activities of companies we have acquired). From time to time, we receive notices from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or equivalent state or international environmental agencies that we are a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (commonly known as the “Superfund Act”) and/or equivalent laws. Such notices assert potential liability for cleanup costs at various sites, which may include sites owned by us, sites we previously owned and treatment or disposal sites not owned by us, allegedly containing hazardous substances attributable to us from past operations. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these proceedings, in the opinion of management, any payments we may be required to make as a result of all such claims in existence at June 29, 2018, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations or cash flows.

Asbestos Litigation

Like many other industrial companies, the Company and/or one of its subsidiaries may be named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos integrated into certain products sold or distributed by the Company and/or the named subsidiary. A substantial majority of these asbestos-related claims have been covered by insurance or other forms of indemnity or have been dismissed without payment. The rest have been resolved for amounts that are not material to the Company, either individually or in the aggregate. Based on information currently available, we do not believe that the resolution of any currently pending asbestos-related matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

51

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Investors should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors that could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows as set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2017 Form 10-K. From time to time we disclose changes to risk factors that have been previously disclosed. See below for information regarding changes to our risk factors since the filing of our 2017 Form 10-K. Other than the information presented below, we do not believe there have been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2017 Form 10-K. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe not to be material may also adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Recently enacted tariffs on certain imports to the United States and other potential changes to U.S. tariff and import/export regulations may have a negative effect on global economic conditions and our business, financial results and financial condition.

In 2018, new tariffs were implemented on imports of steel and aluminum into the United States. As the implementation of tariffs is ongoing, more tariffs may be added in the future. While any steel and aluminum we use in our products is produced primarily in North America, the new tariffs may provide domestic steel and aluminum producers the flexibility to increase their prices, at least to a level where their products would still be priced below foreign competitors once the tariffs are taken into account. These tariffs could have an adverse impact on our financial results, which include, but are not limited to, the following: Products we sell include steel and aluminum and if we are unable to pass such price increases through to our customers, it would likely increase our cost of sales and, as a result, decrease our gross margins, operating income and net income. In addition, in response to the new tariffs, a number of other countries are threatening to impose tariffs on U.S. imports, which, if implemented, could increase the price of our products in these countries and may result in our customers looking to alternative sources for our products. This would result in decreased sales, which could have a negative impact on our net income and financial condition. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict our access to suppliers or customers and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements also may be included in other publicly available documents issued by the Company and in oral statements made by our officers and representatives from time to time. These forward-looking statements are intended to provide management's current expectations or plans for our future operating and financial performance, based on assumptions currently believed to be valid. They can be identified by the use of words such as "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "goal," "seek," "believe," "project," "estimate," "expect," "strategy," "future," "likely," "may," "should," "would," "could," "will" and other words of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future operating or financial performance. Examples of forward looking statements include, among others, statements relating to future sales, earnings, cash flows, results of operations, uses of cash and other measures of financial performance.

Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company's actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among others: (i) changes in domestic and foreign economic and competitive conditions in markets served by the Company, particularly the defense, commercial aviation and industrial production markets; (ii) changes in government and customer priorities and requirements (including cost-cutting initiatives, government and customer shut-downs, the potential deferral of awards, terminations or reductions of expenditures to respond to the priorities of Congress and the Administration, or budgetary cuts resulting from Congressional actions or automatic sequestration); (iii) changes in geopolitical conditions in countries where the Company does or intends to do business; (iv) the successful conclusion of competitions for government programs (including new, follow-on and successor programs) and thereafter successful contract negotiations with government authorities (both foreign and domestic) for the terms and conditions of the programs; (v) the timely receipt of any necessary export approvals and/or other licenses or authorizations from the U.S. Government; (vi) timely satisfaction or fulfillment of material contractual conditions precedents in customer purchase orders, contracts, or similar arrangements; (vii) the existence of standard government contract provisions permitting renegotiation of terms and termination for the convenience of the government; (viii) the successful resolution of government inquiries or investigations relating to our businesses and programs; (ix) risks and uncertainties associated with the successful implementation and ramp up of significant new programs, including the ability to manufacture the products to the detailed specifications required and recover start-up costs and other investments in the programs; (x) potential difficulties associated with variable acceptance test results, given sensitive production materials and extreme test parameters; (xi) the receipt and successful execution of production orders under the Company's existing U.S. government JPF contract, including the exercise of all contract options and receipt of orders from allied militaries, but excluding any next generation

52

programmable fuze programs, as all have been assumed in connection with goodwill impairment evaluations; (xii) the continued support of the existing K-MAX® helicopter fleet, including sale of existing K-MAX® spare parts inventory and the receipt of orders for new aircraft sufficient to recover our investment in the restart of the K-MAX® production line; (xiii) the accuracy of current cost estimates associated with environmental remediation activities; (xiv) the profitable integration of acquired businesses into the Company's operations; (xv) the ability to implement our ERP systems in a cost-effective and efficient manner, limiting disruption to our business, and allowing us to capture their planned benefits while maintaining an adequate internal control environment; (xvi) changes in supplier sales or vendor incentive policies; (xvii) the effects of price increases or decreases; (xviii) the effects of pension regulations, pension plan assumptions, pension plan asset performance, future contributions and the pension freeze, including the ultimate determination of the U.S. Government's share of any pension curtailment adjustment calculated in accordance with CAS 413; (xix) future levels of indebtedness and capital expenditures; (xx) the continued availability of raw materials and other commodities in adequate supplies and the effect of increased costs for such items; (xxi) the effects of currency exchange rates and foreign competition on future operations; (xxii) changes in laws and regulations, taxes, interest rates, inflation rates and general business conditions; (xxiii) the effects, if any, of the UK's exit from the EU; (xxiv) future repurchases and/or issuances of common stock; (xxv) the occurrence of unanticipated restructuring costs or the failure to realize anticipated savings or benefits from past or future expense reduction actions; and (xxvi) other risks and uncertainties set forth herein and in our 2017 Form 10-K.

Any forward-looking information provided in this report should be considered with these factors in mind. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this report.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

Recent Accounting Standards

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted

In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting". The objective of this standard update is to address the diversity in practice and reduce the cost and complexity of applying guidance for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This ASU provides guidance on when an entity should apply modification accounting for stock compensation. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of this standard update had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) - Improving the Net Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost”. The objective of this standard update is to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. This standard update requires employers to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost. This ASU also provides guidance on how to present the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and allows only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. The other components of net benefit cost, which are expected to more than offset the service cost component, are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside of operating profit. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. This ASU was applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in assets. The standard update allows for a practical expedient that permits an employer to use the amounts disclosed in its pension and other postretirement benefit plan note for the prior comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements. The Company applied this practical expedient for prior period presentation. The Company currently estimates that the service cost component to be included in operating profit will be approximately $4.9 million and the other components of net benefit cost presented below operating income will be approximately $12.7 million of income in 2018. See Note 12, Pension Plans,for the service cost component and other components of net benefit in the current period and Note 3, Significant Accounting Policies Update, for the impact to prior period results.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, "Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20)". The objective of this standard update is to clarify the scope of asset derecognition guidance and to provide new guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption was permitted; however, an entity was required to apply the amendments in this ASU in the same period that it applies the amendments for ASU 2014-09. The adoption of this standard update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted - continued

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash". The objective of this standard update is to address the diversity in classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. Under this ASU, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of this standard update had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory". Under this ASU, income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory is recognized when the transfer occurs. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of this standard update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments". This standard update was issued to address diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified. The provisions of ASU 2016-15 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of this standard update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10) - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The objective of this standard update is to remove inconsistent practices with regards to the accounting for financial instruments between US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The standard update intends to improve the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. The provisions of this standard update are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this standard update had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" ("ASC 606"). The objective of this standard update is to remove inconsistent practices with regard to revenue recognition between US GAAP and IFRS. The standard intends to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. The provisions of ASU No. 2014-09 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method. As a result, the Company applied ASC 606 only to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASC 606 resulted in a net reduction to opening retained earnings of approximately $9.6 million, net of tax, on January 1, 2018.

Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued the following updates: ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - "Deferral of the Effective Date"; ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)”; ASU 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing"; ASU 2016-12, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients"; and ASU 2016-20, "Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606". The amendments in these updates affect the guidance contained within ASU 2014-09 and were similarly adopted on January 1, 2018. See Note 3, Significant Accounting Policies Update, for further information on the impacts of these standard updates.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)

Recent Accounting Standards Yet to be Adopted

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02 "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income". The objective of this standard is to address the concern that tax effects of items within accumulated other comprehensive income do not appropriately reflect the tax rate because the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 ("Tax Reform") required the adjustment of deferred taxes be recorded to income. This ASU provides an entity the election to reclassify stranded tax effects resulting from Tax Reform to retained earnings from accumulated other comprehensive income. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact this standard update could have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities". The objective of this standard update is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better reflect the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. This ASU expands hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and refines the measurement of hedge results to better reflect an entity's hedging strategies. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". The objective of this standard update is to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this ASU, an entity should perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, assuming the loss recognized does not exceed the total amount of goodwill for the reporting unit. The standard update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The impact of the adoption of this standard update is dependent on the Company's goodwill impairment assessment.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under this ASU as amended, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged under this ASU as amended. This standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has developed a project plan that includes a three-phase approach to implementing this standard update. Phase one, the assessment phase, was completed in the third quarter of 2017. The Company began the second phase in the fourth quarter of 2017, which includes implementing new lease administration software, establishing policies and understanding the initial financial impact this standard update will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Phase three, which the Company anticipates beginning in the second half of 2018, will include integrating the standard update into financial reporting processes and systems and developing a more robust understanding of the financial impact of this standard update. The Company anticipates the ASU will have a material impact on its assets and liabilities due to the addition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities to the balance sheet; however, it does not expect the ASU to have a material impact on the Company's cash flows or results of operations.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies Update

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES UPDATE

The Company's significant accounting policies are detailed in "Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2017. Significant changes to the Company's accounting policies as a result of adopting new accounting standards are discussed below:

Revenue Recognition

Under ASC 606, the amount of revenue recognized for any goods or services reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.

A contract is accounted for when there has been approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Performance obligations under a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract. In certain instances, the Company has concluded distinct goods or services should be accounted for as a single performance obligation when they are a series of distinct goods or services that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised goods or services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether the customer can benefit from the goods or services either on their own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (the goods or services are distinct) and if the promise to transfer the goods or services to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (the goods or services are distinct in the context of the contract). If these criteria are not met, the promised services are accounted for as a single performance obligation. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration that the Company will be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price, generally utilizing the expected value method. Determining the transaction price requires significant judgment. If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling price is determined by the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price by taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. Performance obligations are satisfied either over time or at a point in time as discussed in further detail below. In addition, the Company's contracts with customers generally do not include significant financing components or non-cash consideration.

In certain instances, the Company has accounted for contracts using the portfolio approach, a practical expedient permissible under the standard. The determination of when the use of the portfolio approach is appropriate requires judgment from management based on consideration of all the facts and circumstances. The Company uses the portfolio approach when the effect of accounting for a group of contracts or a group of performance obligations would not differ materially from considering each contract or performance obligation separately. This determination requires the use of estimates and assumptions that reflect the size and composition of the portfolio. The Company primarily uses the portfolio approach within its over time revenue streams throughout the Distribution segment as well as for its commercial and defense bearings and structures businesses in the Aerospace segment. The Company's primary criteria considered when using the portfolio approach is the commonality of economic factors, which generally follow the product type based on consistent production costs and standard pricing for the products.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES UPDATE (CONTINUED)

Revenue Recognition - continued

Distribution segment

The Distribution segment has historically recognized the majority of its revenue when the sales price was fixed, collectability was reasonably assured and the product's title and risk of loss had transferred to the customer. This method of revenue recognition remains substantially the same as revenue will be recognized at the point in time when title transfers to the customer, as this is when the performance obligations are generally controlled by the customer. A small percentage of revenue within the Distribution segment, specifically certain contracts for value-add services, engineering services and repairs, are accounted for over time under ASC 606. For the over time contracts within the Distribution segment, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. The Company generally uses the cost-to-cost measure of progress for its contracts because it best depicts the transfer of assets to the customer which occurs as cost is incurred under the contracts. Under the cost-to-cost method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. The Company performs detailed quarterly reviews of the progress and execution of its performance obligations under certain larger contracts. As part of this process, management reviews information, primarily its estimated costs at completion and costs incurred to date by its vendors as a majority of production costs at the segment are incurred by third party vendors. These estimated costs are included in the calculation of the measures of progress towards completion.

Additionally, the Company includes freight costs charged to customers in net sales and the correlating expense as a cost of sales. Sales tax collected from customers is excluded from net sales in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Aerospace segment

The majority of long-term contracts in the Aerospace segment were historically accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method using units-of-delivery as a measurement basis. Many of these contracts moved to an over time revenue model under ASC 606. For example, revenue for the Company's Joint Programmable Fuze ("JPF") program with the U.S. Government ("USG") moved from percentage-of-completion using units-of-delivery as the measurement basis to the over time revenue recognition model using input costs as the basis for recognizing progress to completion. Conversely, revenue for the K-MAX® program moved from cost-to-cost revenue recognition under percentage-of-completion accounting to the point-in-time method, with revenue on these aircraft being recognized upon delivery to the end customer. For certain programs, early-contract unit costs in excess of the average expected cost over the life of the contract and general and administrative costs were previously capitalized and amortized over the period of performance of the contract. With the adoption of this standard update, $32.5 million of previously capitalized deferred costs in excess of the contract average and previously contractually recoverable general and administrative costs were adjusted within the cumulative effect to retained earnings and will not be amortized into earnings after January 1, 2018.

To determine the appropriate revenue recognition model for the Aerospace segment's long-term contracts, the Company evaluates whether a contract exists, considering whether multiple contracts should be combined as one single contract and then whether the contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment, as these decisions could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period. For certain programs, the Company may promise to provide distinct goods or services within a contract, in which case these are separated into more than one performance obligation.

For certain programs in the Aerospace segment, the Company recognizes revenue over time because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. For USG contracts, this continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contract that provide lien rights to the customer over the work in progress, thereby control transfers as costs are incurred. For non-USG contracts, the customer typically controls the work in progress because the Company is producing products that do not have an alternative use to the Company and where contractual termination clauses provide the Company rights to payment for work performed to date plus a reasonable profit.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES UPDATE (CONTINUED)

Revenue Recognition - continued

Aerospace segment - continued

Revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. The Company generally uses the cost-to-cost measure of progress for its contracts because it best depicts the transfer of assets to the customer which occurs as cost is incurred under the contracts. Under the cost-to-cost method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Total estimated contract costs generally include labor, materials and subcontractors’ costs, other direct costs and related overhead costs. These estimates also include the estimated cost of satisfying offset obligations, as required under certain contracts. The complexity of certain programs as well as technical risks and uncertainty as to the future availability of materials and labor resources could affect the Company’s ability to accurately estimate future contract costs.

For contracts that recognize revenue over time, the Company performs detailed quarterly reviews of the progress and execution of its performance obligations under these contracts. As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. The risks and opportunities include management's judgment about the ability and cost to achieve the schedule (e.g. the number and type of milestone events), technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product) and other contract requirements. Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the performance obligation (e.g. to estimate increases in wages and prices for materials and related support cost allocations), execution by subcontractors, the availability and timing of funding from customers and overhead cost rates, among other variables. Based upon these reviews, the Company will record the effects of adjustments in profit estimates each period. If at any time management determines that in the case of a particular contract total costs will exceed total contract revenue, a provision for the entire anticipated contract loss is recorded at that time. The amount of revenue recognized in the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018 from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods was $1.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively. These amounts were primarily related to changes in the estimates of the stage of completion of Aerospace contracts, more specifically the JPF contract with the USG, the AH-1Z contract and the SH-2G contract with Peru. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 30, 2017, there were net increases in the Company's operating income attributable to changes in contract estimates of $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively. These increases were primarily a result of improved performance on the JPF USG Program, the AH-1Z program and the SH-2G program with Peru. These improvements were partially offset by cost growth on the K-MAX® and A-10 programs.

Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of the Company's performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. From time-to-time the Company enters into long-term contracts with the USG that contain award fees, incentive fees or other provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. These variable amounts generally are awarded upon achievement of certain performance metrics, program milestones or cost targets and can be based upon customer discretion. The Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount to which it expects to be entitled. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company's anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available. The Company does not include financing components as variable consideration if less than one year. At June 29, 2018, the Company did not have any significant financing components.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES UPDATE (CONTINUED)

Revenue Recognition - continued

Aerospace segment - continued

Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. The Company considers contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new or makes changes to the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Contract modifications for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. In these cases, the effect of the contract modification on the transaction price and the measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis, except when such modifications relate to a performance obligation that is a series of substantially the same distinct goods or services. If the modification relates to a performance obligation for a series of substantially the same distinct goods or services, the modification is treated prospectively. Contract modifications for goods or services that are considered distinct from the existing contract are accounted for as separate contracts. The Company applied the practical expedient for any contracts that were modified prior to January 1, 2018; therefore, the contracts were not restated retrospectively for those modifications.

For other contracts within the Aerospace segment, excluding the long-term contracts discussed above, the method of revenue recognition will remain substantially the same under ASC 606. For these contracts, revenue will be primarily recognized at the point in time when the title transfers to the customer, as this is when the performance obligation is controlled by the customer. Additionally, a small percentage of revenue related to certain contracts for repairs and overhauls within the Aerospace segment is accounted for over time under ASC 606. Under these contracts, revenue is generally recognized as work is performed in proportion to the actual costs incurred as compared to total estimated contract costs.

The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 1, 2018 as a result of the adoption of ASC 606 was as follows:

The reduction to retained earnings of $9.6 million in the cumulative effect adjustment on January 1, 2018 primarily reflects the reduction of $32.5 million in costs previously capitalized in inventory, which included deferred unit costs in excess of the contract average and previously capitalized general and administrative costs, partially offset by the acceleration of net sales of $62.3 million and associated gross profit of $20.2 million for deliveries that would have occurred in 2018, but are now recognized over time as costs are incurred.

The following tables summarize the impacts of ASC 606 on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES UPDATE (CONTINUED)

Accounts Receivable

The Company's receivables, net, consist of amounts billed and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, which reflects management’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the trade accounts receivable and billed contracts balance. Management determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other currently available evidence.

Contract Assets

The Company's contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under long-term contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is applied and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Amounts do not exceed their net realizable value. Contract assets are generally classified as current as such amounts are billable and collectible within twelve months.

Contract Costs

Contract costs consist of costs to obtain and fulfill a contract. Costs to fulfill a contract primarily consist of nonrecurring engineering costs incurred at the start of a new program for which such costs are expected to be recovered under existing and future contracts. Such costs are amortized over the estimated revenue amount of the contract. Costs to obtain a contract consist of commissions and agent fees paid in connection with the award of a contract. If these costs are determined to have an amortization period of less than one year, the Company applies the practical expedient and the related costs are expensed as incurred. If the amortization period is determined to be greater than a year and the incremental costs to obtaining the contract qualify as an asset, then the contract costs are recorded and amortized over the estimated contract revenue. At June 29, 2018, costs to fulfill a contract and costs to obtain a contract were $9.5 million and $6.8 million, respectively. These amounts are included in contract costs, current portion and contract costs, noncurrent portion on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 29, 2018.

Contract Liabilities

The Company's contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized and deferred revenue. Advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized are classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when recognition of revenue is expected. At June 29, 2018, the noncurrent portion of contract liabilities was $76.3 million, which is included in contract liabilities, noncurrent portion in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Unfulfilled Performance Obligations

Unfulfilled performance obligations ("backlog") represents the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts. As of June 29, 2018, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to backlog was $969.0 million. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately $585.6 million of this amount over the next 12 months, with the remaining amount to be recognized thereafter.

Pension

The Company accounts for its defined benefit pension plan by recognizing the overfunded or underfunded status of the plan, calculated as the difference between the plan assets and the projected benefit obligation, as an asset or liability on the balance sheet, with changes in the funded status recognized in comprehensive income in the year in which they occur.

Expenses and liabilities associated with the plan are determined based upon actuarial valuations. Integral to the actuarial valuations are a variety of assumptions including expected return on plan assets and discount rate. The Company regularly reviews the assumptions, which are updated at the measurement date, December 31^st. The impact of differences between actual results and the assumptions are accumulated and generally amortized over future periods, which will affect expense recognized in future periods. The service cost component of net benefit cost is recorded in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses separately from the other components of net benefit cost, which are recorded to non-service pension and postretirement benefit cost (income). See Note 12, Pension Plans, for further information.

Restructuring Costs [Abstract]

Restructuring Costs

RESTRUCTURING COSTS

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company initiated restructuring activities at its Aerospace segment to support the ongoing effort of improving capacity utilization and operating efficiency to better position the Company for increased profitability and growth. Such actions include workforce reductions and the consolidation of operations, beginning in the third quarter of 2017 through the planned completion of restructuring activities in the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company currently expects these actions to result in approximately $7.0 million to $8.5 million in pre-tax restructuring and transition charges and, beginning in 2019, will result in total cost savings of approximately $4.0 million annually.

4. RESTRUCTURING COSTS (CONTINUED)

The following table summarizes the accrual balances by cost type for the restructuring actions:

	Severance			Other (1)			Total

⁽¹⁾ Includes costs associated with consolidation of facilities.

The above accrual balance was included in other current liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods, the Aerospace segment incurred $1.5 million and $2.3 million in costs, respectively, associated with the restructuring activities described above. Since the announcement of these restructuring activities, restructuring expense as of June 29, 2018 was $4.9 million. Included in this expense is approximately $1.0 million of cost that primarily relates to the write-off of inventory for various small order programs that the Company will no longer continue to manufacture as a result of the consolidation of operations

Other Matters

In addition to the restructuring above, for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, the Aerospace segment incurred $0.3 million and $1.2 million in costs, respectively, associated with the termination of certain distributor agreements and separation costs for certain employees not covered by the restructuring activities noted above. The Distribution segment incurred $0.1 million in separation costs for certain employees in the three-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018. These amounts are not included in the table above.

Contract costs consist of costs to obtain and fulfill a contract. Costs to fulfill a contract primarily consist of nonrecurring engineering costs incurred at the start of a new program for which such costs are expected to be recovered under existing and future contracts.

⁽¹⁾ These amounts include the impact of the cumulative effect adjustment resulting from the adoption of ASC 606.

Contract Assets

The increase in contract assets was primarily due to the recognition of revenue related to the satisfaction or partial satisfaction of performance obligations during the six-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018. This increase is primarily related to work performed and not yet billed on the JPF program with the USG, legacy fuze programs and the SH-2G program with Peru in the Aerospace segment and the automation, control and energy product line at the Distribution segment. There were no significant impairment losses related to the Company's contract assets during the six-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018.

Contract assets includes amounts for matters such as contract changes, negotiated settlements and claims for unanticipated contract costs. These amounts are as follows:

	June 29, 2018		December 31, 2017
In thousands
Contract changes, negotiated settlements and claims for unanticipated contract costs	$	3,423	$	—

On January 1, 2018, $4.3 million in claims previously included in inventory were reclassified to contract assets as part of the cumulative effect adjustment resulting from the adoption of ASC 606. This amount was partially offset by the settlement of a claim in the six-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018.

6. CONTRACT ASSETS, CONTRACT COSTS AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

Contract Costs

The increase in contract costs, current portion was primarily related to costs to fulfill certain metallic structures programs, partially offset by amortization of contract costs. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, amortization of contract costs was $1.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

The increase in contract costs, noncurrent portion was primarily related to costs to obtain a JPF DCS contract.

Contract Liabilities

The decrease in contract liabilities, current portion was primarily due to revenue recognized in excess of payments received on these performance obligations, primarily associated with deliveries under a JPF DCS contract and the K-MAX® program, partially offset by an advance payment received for a JPF DCS contract. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, revenue recognized related to contract liabilities, current portion at January 1, 2018 was $1.4 million and $6.4 million.

The increase in contract liabilities, noncurrent portion was due to an advance payment received for a JPF DCS contract. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, the Company did not recognize revenue against contract liabilities, noncurrent portion.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: 

• Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The following table presents the carrying value and fair value of financial instruments that are not carried at fair value:

	June 29, 2018				December 31, 2017
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
In thousands
Debt (1)	$	330,264	$	382,945	$	405,602	$	428,432

⁽¹⁾ These amounts are classified within Level 2.

The above fair values were computed based on quoted market prices and discounted future cash flows (observable inputs), as applicable. Differences from carrying values are attributable to interest rate changes subsequent to when the transactions occurred.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net and accounts payable - trade approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company holds derivative instruments for foreign exchange contracts that are measured at fair value using observable market inputs such as forward rates and its counterparties’ credit risks. Based on these inputs, the derivative instruments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. At June 29, 2018, the derivative instruments have been included in other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2017, the derivative instruments were included in other current assets and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Based on the Company's continued ability to trade and enter into forward contracts and interest rate swaps, the Company considers the markets for its fair value instruments to be active.

The Company evaluated the credit risk associated with the counterparties to these derivative instruments and determined that as of June 29, 2018, such credit risks have not had an adverse impact on the fair value of these instruments.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including market risks relating to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair values of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is effective as part of a hedged transaction. Gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive income are subsequently included in earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Forward Exchange Contracts

The Company holds forward exchange contracts designed to hedge forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies and to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the Company’s earnings and cash flows. Some of these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company will include in earnings amounts currently included in accumulated other comprehensive income upon recognition of cost of sales related to the underlying transaction. These contracts were not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 29, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The activity related to these contracts was not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017.

Commitments and Contingencies

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Pension Freeze

Effective December 31, 2015, the Company's qualified pension plan was frozen with respect to future benefit accruals. Under USG Cost Accounting Standard (“CAS”) 413 the Company must determine the USG’s share of any pension curtailment adjustment calculated in accordance with CAS. Such adjustments can result in an amount due to the USG for pension plans that are in a surplus position or an amount due to the contractor for plans that are in a deficit position. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company accrued a $0.3 million liability representing its estimate of the amount due to the USG based on the Company's pension curtailment adjustment calculation, which was submitted to the USG for review in December 2016. The Company has maintained its accrual at $0.3 million as of June 29, 2018. There can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

New Hartford Property

In connection with the sale of the Company’s Music segment in 2007, the Company assumed responsibility for meeting certain requirements of the Connecticut Transfer Act (the “Transfer Act”) that applied to the transfer of the New Hartford, Connecticut, facility leased by that segment for guitar manufacturing purposes (“Ovation”). Under the Transfer Act, those responsibilities essentially consist of assessing the site's environmental conditions and remediating environmental impairments, if any, caused by Ovation's operations prior to the sale. The site is a multi-tenant industrial park, in which Ovation and other unrelated entities lease space. The environmental assessment process, which began in 2008, has been completed and site remediation is in process.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

New Hartford Property - continued

The Company's estimate of its portion of the cost to assess the environmental conditions and remediate this site is $2.3 million, all of which has been accrued. The total amount paid to date in connection with these environmental remediation activities is $1.6 million. At June 29, 2018, the Company had $0.7 million accrued for these environmental remediation activities. A portion ($0.1 million) of the accrual related to this property is included in other current liabilities and the balance is included in other long-term liabilities. The remaining balance of the accrual reflects the total anticipated cost of completing these environmental remediation activities. Although it is reasonably possible that additional costs will be paid in connection with the resolution of this matter, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of such additional costs, if any, at this time.

Bloomfield Property

In connection with the Company’s 2008 purchase of the portion of the Bloomfield campus that Kaman Aerospace Corporation had leased from NAVAIR, the Company assumed responsibility for environmental remediation at the facility as may be required under the Transfer Act and is currently remediating the property under the guidance of the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection ("CTDEP"). The assumed environmental liability of $10.3 million was determined by taking the undiscounted estimated remediation liability of $20.8 million and discounting it at a rate of 8%. This remediation process will take many years to complete. The total amount paid to date in connection with these environmental remediation activities is $13.5 million. At June 29, 2018, the Company had $2.2 million accrued for these environmental remediation activities. A portion ($0.4 million) of the accrual related to this property is included in other current liabilities, and the balance is included in other long-term liabilities. Although it is reasonably possible that additional costs will be paid in connection with the resolution of this matter, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of such additional costs, if any, at this time.

Rimpar Property

In connection with the Company's purchase of GRW, the Company assumed responsibility for the environmental remediation at the Rimpar, Germany facility. In 2016, the Company completed an assessment which determined the estimated remediation liability was $0.5 million. The total amount paid to date in connection with these environmental remediation activities is $0.2 million. The balance ($0.3 million) of the accrual related to this property is included in other current liabilities. Although it is reasonably possible that additional costs will be paid in connection with the resolution of this matter, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of such additional costs, if any, at this time.

Aerospace Claim Matter

On June 29, 2016, the Company received notification from a customer of their intent to file a claim for recovery of costs and expenses related to rework on certain aerostructure components previously delivered by the Company to the customer. The original notification did not indicate the extent of the rework undertaken by the customer, the cost or expenses incurred by the customer or the time frame in which the customer anticipated filing its formal claim. On October 17, 2017, the Company received a letter from the customer seeking to recover $12.4 million associated with the rework of these components and related costs incurred by the customer. The Company estimates the cost to rework the aerostructure components delivered to the customer over the time period in question is approximately $0.2 million. In the first half of 2018, the parties continued to exchange correspondence and supporting documentation to support their respective positions. The parties continue to seek resolution of this claim through further discussions and negotiations. The Company does not believe the claim has merit and will continue to vigorously defend against the claim, and will pursue appropriate legal remedies necessary to protect its position. Based on this analysis, the Company has accrued $0.2 million, the estimated cost to rework the aerostructure components, as of June 29, 2018; however, there can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

Offset Agreement

During January 2018, the Company entered into an offset agreement as a condition to obtaining orders from a foreign customer for the Company's JPF product. At June 29, 2018, the offset agreement had an outstanding notional value of approximately $194.0 million; however, the ultimate value is subject to the nature of the Company's satisfaction of these requirements. This agreement is designed to return economic value to the foreign country by requiring the Company to engage in activities supporting local defense or commercial industries, promoting a balance of trade, developing in-country technology capabilities or addressing other local development priorities. The offset agreement may be satisfied through activities that do not require a direct cash payment, including transferring technology, providing manufacturing, training and other consulting support to in-country projects and the purchase by third parties of supplies from in-country vendors. This agreement may also be satisfied through the Company's use of cash for activities, such as subcontracting with local partners, purchasing supplies from in-country vendors, providing financial support for in-country projects and making investments in local ventures. The amount ultimately applied against the offset agreement is based on negotiations with the customer and may require cash outlays that represent only a fraction of the notional value in the offset agreement. The offset program extends for several years and provides for potential penalties up to $16.5 million payable to the customer in the event the offset requirements of the contract are not met. The Company is currently in the process of developing a plan to satisfy the offset requirements.

Earnings Per Share Reconciliation [Abstract]

Computation of Earnings Per Share

COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on net earnings divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. The computation of diluted earnings per share reflects the common stock equivalency of dilutive options granted to employees under the Company's stock incentive plan, shares issuable on redemption of its convertible notes and shares issuable upon redemption of outstanding warrants.

Equity awards

For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, respectively, 182,040 and 190,775 shares issuable under equity awards granted to employees were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive based on the average stock price during the period. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively, 350,649 and 286,343 shares issuable under equity awards granted to employees were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive based on the average stock price during the period.

14. COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE (CONTINUED)

2017 Convertible Notes

For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 30, 2017, shares issuable under the 2017 Notes that were dilutive during the period were included in the calculation of earnings per share as the conversion price for the 2017 Notes was less than the average share price of the Company's stock.

2024 Convertible Notes

For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, shares issuable under the Convertible Notes due 2024 were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because the conversion price was less than the average market price of the Company's stock during the periods. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 30, 2017, shares issuable under the Convertible Notes due 2024 were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because the conversion price was greater than the average market price of the Company's stock during the periods.

Warrants

For the fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, shares issuable under the warrants issued in connection with the Company's 2017 Notes were included in the calculation for diluted earnings per share as the strike price of the warrants was less than the average price of the Company's stock.

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]

Share-based Arrangements

SHARE-BASED ARRANGEMENTS

General

The Company accounts for stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance shares as equity awards and measures the cost of all share-based payments, including stock options, at fair value on the grant date and recognizes this cost in the statement of operations. The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan which is accounted for as a liability award.

Compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards. Share-based compensation expense recorded for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, was $2.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively. Share-based compensation expense recorded for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 30, 2017, was $2.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

From time-to-time, the Company has issued stock awards with market and performance based conditions. Currently, there are three awards with these conditions that have not been settled. The number of shares earned under an award granted in 2014 has been determined at a 139.9% achievement level, representing 1,506 shares to be delivered in 2019. The number of shares earned under an award granted in 2015 has been determined at a 142.3% achievement level, representing 1,573 shares to be delivered in 2019. The remaining shares for the award granted in 2016 has not yet been determined; however, assuming a 100% achievement level, the number of shares would be 1,060. The Company measures the cost of these awards based on their grant date fair value to the extent of the probable number of shares to be earned upon vesting. Amortization of this cost is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Throughout the course of the requisite service period, the Company monitors the level of achievement compared to the target and adjusts the number of shares expected to be earned, and the related compensation expense recorded thereafter, to reflect the updated most probable outcome. Compensation expense for these awards for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, and June 30, 2017, was not material.

⁽¹⁾ The disaggregation of revenue recognized for performance satisfied over time versus point-in-time has not been included for the Distribution segment, as the majority of its revenue is recognized on a point-in-time basis with only approximately 2% of revenue recognized for performance obligations over time.

The majority of the Distribution's segment revenue is recognized at the point in time when title transfers to the customer, as this is when the performance obligations are generally controlled by the customer. A small percentage of revenue within the Distribution segment, specifically certain contracts for value-add services, engineering services and repairs, are accounted for over time. The majority of the Distribution segment's revenue is short cycle in nature with shipments occurring within one year from order. Payment terms generally range from 30 to 90 days from delivery.

16. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

Disaggregation of Revenue - continued

For the Aerospace segment, the timing related to the satisfaction of performance obligations and the typical timing of payment could vary between military, fuzing and commercial contracts. For the Aerospace segment's military and fuzing contracts with the USG, payment terms typically include progress payments, and the satisfaction of these performance obligations does not vary significantly from timing of payment. For firm-fixed price military and fuzing contracts with foreign militaries, the satisfaction of performance obligations could occur at a point in time or over time, depending on the nature of the performance obligations and the right to payment terms in the contracts. Generally, payment terms for these types of contracts range from 30 to 180 days from delivery; however, at times, the Company may negotiate advance payments to cover a portion of the initial costs. Payment terms for firm-fixed price commercial contracts generally range from 30 to 90 days from delivery. The satisfaction of these performance obligations could occur at a point in time or over time, depending on the nature of the performance obligations and the right to payment terms in the contracts. For certain commercial contracts, the Company may negotiate advance payments for long-lead materials.

18. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

During the fourth quarter of 2017, Tax Reform was enacted by the federal government. The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 ("SAB 118") in December 2017, which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of Tax Reform. SAB 118 provides a measurement period in which to finalize the accounting under Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740") as it relates to Tax Reform. This measurement period should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Reform enactment date. In accordance with SAB 118, the Company is required to reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the legislation for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that the Company's accounting for certain of the income tax effects is incomplete, but the Company is capable of reasonably estimating the effects, the Company must record a provisional amount in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements based on this estimate. To the extent the Company could not reasonably estimate the provisional impacts of Tax Reform, the Company is required to apply ASC 740 on the basis of tax law in place immediately prior to the enactment. In accordance with SAB 118, the revaluation of U.S. net deferred tax assets, the U.S. income tax attributable to Tax Reform's deemed repatriation provision (currently estimated to be zero) and the tax consequences relating to states with current conformity to the Internal Revenue Code are provisional amounts due to the enactment date and the complexities of Tax Reform. The new tax legislation provides for significant changes in corporate taxation, including a reduction in the applicable corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. As a result of this rate reduction, the Company's U.S. net deferred tax assets were required to be revalued as of December 31, 2017. This resulted in a one-time charge to tax expense of $9.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Other Tax Reform provisions that will impact the Company include the elimination of the deduction for manufacturing activities, changes to the deductibility of executive compensation and various international tax law changes. There were no changes to the provisional amounts in the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018.

One of the international tax law changes provided for with Tax Reform relates to the taxation of a corporation's global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. The Company has evaluated this provision of Tax Reform and the application of ASC 740, and does not believe that GILTI will have a significant impact.

The effective income tax rate represents the combined federal, state and foreign tax effects attributable to pretax earnings for the period. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, compared to the corresponding rate in the prior year, was primarily due to the aforementioned rate reduction resulting from Tax Reform, as well as certain discrete items relating to the 2017 provision to return adjustments and benefits from stock-based compensation. In addition, the effective tax rate for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 30, 2017 was negatively impacted by a foreign loss for which no tax benefit has been provided.

A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, including those associated with net operating loss carryforwards, is recognized when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. To assess that likelihood, the Company uses estimates and judgment regarding future taxable income, and considers the tax consequences in the jurisdiction where such taxable income is generated, to determine whether a valuation allowance is required. Such evidence can include current financial position, results of operations, both actual and forecasted, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning strategies, as well as the current and forecasted business economics.

The Company has assessed both positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize operating loss carryforwards associated with certain foreign operations that will permit the Company to use $3.2 million of deferred tax assets associated with these losses as of June 29, 2018. Through the end of the second quarter of 2018, the Company believes it is more likely than not that only $0.5 million of these deferred tax assets will be realized and, as such, has recorded a valuation allowance of $2.7 million. Going forward, management will continue to assess the available positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is likely sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit the use of these deferred tax assets. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income are reduced or increased, or if additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as future expected growth because objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present.

Basis of Presentation

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The December 31, 2017, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts have been derived from the previously audited Consolidated Balance Sheet of Kaman Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this report. Certain amounts in prior year financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be expected for the entire year.

The Company has a calendar year-end; however, its first three fiscal quarters follow a 13-week convention, with each quarter ending on a Friday. The second quarters for 2018 and 2017 ended on June 29, 2018, and June 30, 2017, respectively.

Recent Accounting Standards

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted

In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting". The objective of this standard update is to address the diversity in practice and reduce the cost and complexity of applying guidance for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This ASU provides guidance on when an entity should apply modification accounting for stock compensation. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of this standard update had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) - Improving the Net Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost”. The objective of this standard update is to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. This standard update requires employers to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost. This ASU also provides guidance on how to present the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and allows only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. The other components of net benefit cost, which are expected to more than offset the service cost component, are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside of operating profit. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. This ASU was applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in assets. The standard update allows for a practical expedient that permits an employer to use the amounts disclosed in its pension and other postretirement benefit plan note for the prior comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements. The Company applied this practical expedient for prior period presentation. The Company currently estimates that the service cost component to be included in operating profit will be approximately $4.9 million and the other components of net benefit cost presented below operating income will be approximately $12.7 million of income in 2018. See Note 12, Pension Plans,for the service cost component and other components of net benefit in the current period and Note 3, Significant Accounting Policies Update, for the impact to prior period results.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, "Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20)". The objective of this standard update is to clarify the scope of asset derecognition guidance and to provide new guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption was permitted; however, an entity was required to apply the amendments in this ASU in the same period that it applies the amendments for ASU 2014-09. The adoption of this standard update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted - continued

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash". The objective of this standard update is to address the diversity in classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. Under this ASU, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of this standard update had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory". Under this ASU, income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory is recognized when the transfer occurs. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of this standard update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments". This standard update was issued to address diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified. The provisions of ASU 2016-15 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of this standard update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10) - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The objective of this standard update is to remove inconsistent practices with regards to the accounting for financial instruments between US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The standard update intends to improve the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. The provisions of this standard update are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this standard update had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" ("ASC 606"). The objective of this standard update is to remove inconsistent practices with regard to revenue recognition between US GAAP and IFRS. The standard intends to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. The provisions of ASU No. 2014-09 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method. As a result, the Company applied ASC 606 only to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASC 606 resulted in a net reduction to opening retained earnings of approximately $9.6 million, net of tax, on January 1, 2018.

Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued the following updates: ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - "Deferral of the Effective Date"; ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)”; ASU 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing"; ASU 2016-12, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients"; and ASU 2016-20, "Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606". The amendments in these updates affect the guidance contained within ASU 2014-09 and were similarly adopted on January 1, 2018. See Note 3, Significant Accounting Policies Update, for further information on the impacts of these standard updates.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)

Recent Accounting Standards Yet to be Adopted

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02 "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income". The objective of this standard is to address the concern that tax effects of items within accumulated other comprehensive income do not appropriately reflect the tax rate because the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 ("Tax Reform") required the adjustment of deferred taxes be recorded to income. This ASU provides an entity the election to reclassify stranded tax effects resulting from Tax Reform to retained earnings from accumulated other comprehensive income. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact this standard update could have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities". The objective of this standard update is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better reflect the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. This ASU expands hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and refines the measurement of hedge results to better reflect an entity's hedging strategies. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". The objective of this standard update is to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this ASU, an entity should perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, assuming the loss recognized does not exceed the total amount of goodwill for the reporting unit. The standard update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The impact of the adoption of this standard update is dependent on the Company's goodwill impairment assessment.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under this ASU as amended, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged under this ASU as amended. This standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has developed a project plan that includes a three-phase approach to implementing this standard update. Phase one, the assessment phase, was completed in the third quarter of 2017. The Company began the second phase in the fourth quarter of 2017, which includes implementing new lease administration software, establishing policies and understanding the initial financial impact this standard update will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Phase three, which the Company anticipates beginning in the second half of 2018, will include integrating the standard update into financial reporting processes and systems and developing a more robust understanding of the financial impact of this standard update. The Company anticipates the ASU will have a material impact on its assets and liabilities due to the addition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities to the balance sheet; however, it does not expect the ASU to have a material impact on the Company's cash flows or results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Under ASC 606, the amount of revenue recognized for any goods or services reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.

A contract is accounted for when there has been approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Performance obligations under a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract. In certain instances, the Company has concluded distinct goods or services should be accounted for as a single performance obligation when they are a series of distinct goods or services that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised goods or services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether the customer can benefit from the goods or services either on their own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (the goods or services are distinct) and if the promise to transfer the goods or services to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (the goods or services are distinct in the context of the contract). If these criteria are not met, the promised services are accounted for as a single performance obligation. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration that the Company will be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price, generally utilizing the expected value method. Determining the transaction price requires significant judgment. If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling price is determined by the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price by taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. Performance obligations are satisfied either over time or at a point in time as discussed in further detail below. In addition, the Company's contracts with customers generally do not include significant financing components or non-cash consideration.

In certain instances, the Company has accounted for contracts using the portfolio approach, a practical expedient permissible under the standard. The determination of when the use of the portfolio approach is appropriate requires judgment from management based on consideration of all the facts and circumstances. The Company uses the portfolio approach when the effect of accounting for a group of contracts or a group of performance obligations would not differ materially from considering each contract or performance obligation separately. This determination requires the use of estimates and assumptions that reflect the size and composition of the portfolio. The Company primarily uses the portfolio approach within its over time revenue streams throughout the Distribution segment as well as for its commercial and defense bearings and structures businesses in the Aerospace segment. The Company's primary criteria considered when using the portfolio approach is the commonality of economic factors, which generally follow the product type based on consistent production costs and standard pricing for the products.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES UPDATE (CONTINUED)

Revenue Recognition - continued

Distribution segment

The Distribution segment has historically recognized the majority of its revenue when the sales price was fixed, collectability was reasonably assured and the product's title and risk of loss had transferred to the customer. This method of revenue recognition remains substantially the same as revenue will be recognized at the point in time when title transfers to the customer, as this is when the performance obligations are generally controlled by the customer. A small percentage of revenue within the Distribution segment, specifically certain contracts for value-add services, engineering services and repairs, are accounted for over time under ASC 606. For the over time contracts within the Distribution segment, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. The Company generally uses the cost-to-cost measure of progress for its contracts because it best depicts the transfer of assets to the customer which occurs as cost is incurred under the contracts. Under the cost-to-cost method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. The Company performs detailed quarterly reviews of the progress and execution of its performance obligations under certain larger contracts. As part of this process, management reviews information, primarily its estimated costs at completion and costs incurred to date by its vendors as a majority of production costs at the segment are incurred by third party vendors. These estimated costs are included in the calculation of the measures of progress towards completion.

Additionally, the Company includes freight costs charged to customers in net sales and the correlating expense as a cost of sales. Sales tax collected from customers is excluded from net sales in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Aerospace segment

The majority of long-term contracts in the Aerospace segment were historically accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method using units-of-delivery as a measurement basis. Many of these contracts moved to an over time revenue model under ASC 606. For example, revenue for the Company's Joint Programmable Fuze ("JPF") program with the U.S. Government ("USG") moved from percentage-of-completion using units-of-delivery as the measurement basis to the over time revenue recognition model using input costs as the basis for recognizing progress to completion. Conversely, revenue for the K-MAX® program moved from cost-to-cost revenue recognition under percentage-of-completion accounting to the point-in-time method, with revenue on these aircraft being recognized upon delivery to the end customer. For certain programs, early-contract unit costs in excess of the average expected cost over the life of the contract and general and administrative costs were previously capitalized and amortized over the period of performance of the contract. With the adoption of this standard update, $32.5 million of previously capitalized deferred costs in excess of the contract average and previously contractually recoverable general and administrative costs were adjusted within the cumulative effect to retained earnings and will not be amortized into earnings after January 1, 2018.

To determine the appropriate revenue recognition model for the Aerospace segment's long-term contracts, the Company evaluates whether a contract exists, considering whether multiple contracts should be combined as one single contract and then whether the contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment, as these decisions could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period. For certain programs, the Company may promise to provide distinct goods or services within a contract, in which case these are separated into more than one performance obligation.

For certain programs in the Aerospace segment, the Company recognizes revenue over time because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. For USG contracts, this continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contract that provide lien rights to the customer over the work in progress, thereby control transfers as costs are incurred. For non-USG contracts, the customer typically controls the work in progress because the Company is producing products that do not have an alternative use to the Company and where contractual termination clauses provide the Company rights to payment for work performed to date plus a reasonable profit.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES UPDATE (CONTINUED)

Revenue Recognition - continued

Aerospace segment - continued

Revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. The Company generally uses the cost-to-cost measure of progress for its contracts because it best depicts the transfer of assets to the customer which occurs as cost is incurred under the contracts. Under the cost-to-cost method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Total estimated contract costs generally include labor, materials and subcontractors’ costs, other direct costs and related overhead costs. These estimates also include the estimated cost of satisfying offset obligations, as required under certain contracts. The complexity of certain programs as well as technical risks and uncertainty as to the future availability of materials and labor resources could affect the Company’s ability to accurately estimate future contract costs.

For contracts that recognize revenue over time, the Company performs detailed quarterly reviews of the progress and execution of its performance obligations under these contracts. As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. The risks and opportunities include management's judgment about the ability and cost to achieve the schedule (e.g. the number and type of milestone events), technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product) and other contract requirements. Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the performance obligation (e.g. to estimate increases in wages and prices for materials and related support cost allocations), execution by subcontractors, the availability and timing of funding from customers and overhead cost rates, among other variables. Based upon these reviews, the Company will record the effects of adjustments in profit estimates each period. If at any time management determines that in the case of a particular contract total costs will exceed total contract revenue, a provision for the entire anticipated contract loss is recorded at that time. The amount of revenue recognized in the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018 from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods was $1.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively. These amounts were primarily related to changes in the estimates of the stage of completion of Aerospace contracts, more specifically the JPF contract with the USG, the AH-1Z contract and the SH-2G contract with Peru. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 30, 2017, there were net increases in the Company's operating income attributable to changes in contract estimates of $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively. These increases were primarily a result of improved performance on the JPF USG Program, the AH-1Z program and the SH-2G program with Peru. These improvements were partially offset by cost growth on the K-MAX® and A-10 programs.

Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of the Company's performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. From time-to-time the Company enters into long-term contracts with the USG that contain award fees, incentive fees or other provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. These variable amounts generally are awarded upon achievement of certain performance metrics, program milestones or cost targets and can be based upon customer discretion. The Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount to which it expects to be entitled. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company's anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available. The Company does not include financing components as variable consideration if less than one year. At June 29, 2018, the Company did not have any significant financing components.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES UPDATE (CONTINUED)

Revenue Recognition - continued

Aerospace segment - continued

Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. The Company considers contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new or makes changes to the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Contract modifications for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. In these cases, the effect of the contract modification on the transaction price and the measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis, except when such modifications relate to a performance obligation that is a series of substantially the same distinct goods or services. If the modification relates to a performance obligation for a series of substantially the same distinct goods or services, the modification is treated prospectively. Contract modifications for goods or services that are considered distinct from the existing contract are accounted for as separate contracts. The Company applied the practical expedient for any contracts that were modified prior to January 1, 2018; therefore, the contracts were not restated retrospectively for those modifications.

For other contracts within the Aerospace segment, excluding the long-term contracts discussed above, the method of revenue recognition will remain substantially the same under ASC 606. For these contracts, revenue will be primarily recognized at the point in time when the title transfers to the customer, as this is when the performance obligation is controlled by the customer. Additionally, a small percentage of revenue related to certain contracts for repairs and overhauls within the Aerospace segment is accounted for over time under ASC 606. Under these contracts, revenue is generally recognized as work is performed in proportion to the actual costs incurred as compared to total estimated contract costs.

The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 1, 2018 as a result of the adoption of ASC 606 was as follows:

The reduction to retained earnings of $9.6 million in the cumulative effect adjustment on January 1, 2018 primarily reflects the reduction of $32.5 million in costs previously capitalized in inventory, which included deferred unit costs in excess of the contract average and previously capitalized general and administrative costs, partially offset by the acceleration of net sales of $62.3 million and associated gross profit of $20.2 million for deliveries that would have occurred in 2018, but are now recognized over time as costs are incurred.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES UPDATE (CONTINUED)

Accounts Receivable

The Company's receivables, net, consist of amounts billed and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, which reflects management’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the trade accounts receivable and billed contracts balance. Management determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other currently available evidence.

Contract Assets

The Company's contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under long-term contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is applied and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Amounts do not exceed their net realizable value. Contract assets are generally classified as current as such amounts are billable and collectible within twelve months.

Contract Costs

Contract costs consist of costs to obtain and fulfill a contract. Costs to fulfill a contract primarily consist of nonrecurring engineering costs incurred at the start of a new program for which such costs are expected to be recovered under existing and future contracts. Such costs are amortized over the estimated revenue amount of the contract. Costs to obtain a contract consist of commissions and agent fees paid in connection with the award of a contract. If these costs are determined to have an amortization period of less than one year, the Company applies the practical expedient and the related costs are expensed as incurred. If the amortization period is determined to be greater than a year and the incremental costs to obtaining the contract qualify as an asset, then the contract costs are recorded and amortized over the estimated contract revenue. At June 29, 2018, costs to fulfill a contract and costs to obtain a contract were $9.5 million and $6.8 million, respectively. These amounts are included in contract costs, current portion and contract costs, noncurrent portion on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 29, 2018.

Contract Liabilities

The Company's contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized and deferred revenue. Advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized are classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when recognition of revenue is expected. At June 29, 2018, the noncurrent portion of contract liabilities was $76.3 million, which is included in contract liabilities, noncurrent portion in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Unfulfilled Performance Obligations

Unfulfilled performance obligations ("backlog") represents the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts.

Pension

Pension

The Company accounts for its defined benefit pension plan by recognizing the overfunded or underfunded status of the plan, calculated as the difference between the plan assets and the projected benefit obligation, as an asset or liability on the balance sheet, with changes in the funded status recognized in comprehensive income in the year in which they occur.

Expenses and liabilities associated with the plan are determined based upon actuarial valuations. Integral to the actuarial valuations are a variety of assumptions including expected return on plan assets and discount rate. The Company regularly reviews the assumptions, which are updated at the measurement date, December 31^st. The impact of differences between actual results and the assumptions are accumulated and generally amortized over future periods, which will affect expense recognized in future periods. The service cost component of net benefit cost is recorded in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses separately from the other components of net benefit cost, which are recorded to non-service pension and postretirement benefit cost (income). See Note 12, Pension Plans, for further information.
