CURTISS-WRIGHT CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES to CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 (UNAUDITED)

 

1.           BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Curtiss-Wright Corporation and its subsidiaries (“the Corporation” or “the Company”) is a diversified, multinational manufacturing and service company that designs, manufactures, and overhauls precision components and systems and provides highly engineered products and services to the aerospace, defense, automotive, shipbuilding, processing, oil, petrochemical, agricultural equipment, railroad, power generation, security, and metalworking industries.
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Curtiss-Wright and its majority-owned subsidiaries.  All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
 
On March 30, 2012, the Corporation sold its Heat Treating business to Bodycote plc.  As a result of the divestiture, the results of operations for the Heat Treating business, which were previously reported as part of the Metal Treatment segment, have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Please refer to Footnote 3 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.  Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant of these estimates includes the estimate of costs to complete long-term contracts under the percentage-of-completion accounting method, the estimate of useful lives for property, plant, and equipment, cash flow estimates used for testing the recoverability of assets, pension plan and postretirement obligation assumptions, estimates for inventory obsolescence, estimates for the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets, warranty reserves, legal reserves, and the estimate of future environmental costs. Changes in estimates of contract sales, costs, and profits are recognized using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. This method recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods. Accordingly, the effect of the changes on future periods of contract performance is recognized as if the revised estimate had been the original estimate.  During the third quarter and the nine months ended September 2012, the Corporation incurred unanticipated additional costs of $12 million and $20 million, respectively, on its long-term contract with Westinghouse for disassembly, inspection, and preparation for shipment costs related to the reactor coolant pumps (“RCPs”) that the Corporation is supplying for the AP1000 nuclear power plants in China.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these financial statements.
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of the operating results for a full year.
 
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
ADOPTION OF NEW STANDARDS
 
Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
 
In May 2011, new guidance was issued that amends the current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to increase transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization.  The new guidance does not extend the use of fair value accounting, but provides guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within U.S. GAAP or IFRS.  The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and is to be adopted prospectively as early adoption is not permitted.  The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial condition.

Other Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income
 
In June 2011, new guidance was issued that amends the current comprehensive income guidance. The new guidance allows the option of presenting the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single or continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.  The new guidance is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2011.  In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance to defer the effective date for those aspects of the guidance relating to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income.  The adoption of this new guidance did not have an impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as it only requires a change in the format of the current presentation of other comprehensive income.
 
Intangibles—Goodwill and Other:  Testing Goodwill for Impairment
 
In September 2011, new guidance was issued that amends the current testing requirements of goodwill for impairment purposes.  The new guidance gives companies the option to perform a qualitative assessment to first assess whether the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  If an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary.  The new guidance is to be applied prospectively effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted.  The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial condition.
 
2.           CORRECTION OF PRIOR PERIOD ERROR
 
During the third quarter of 2012, as part of a recent reorganization, the Corporation identified errors related to its long-term contract accounting practices within a certain subsidiary in its Motion Control segment. The errors date back to periods prior to and including 2007 through 2011 and primarily relate to the untimely liquidation of certain labor-based inventory costs to Cost of sales resulting in an overstatement of retained earnings of $23 million at December 31, 2011. In addition, other errors primarily related to incorrect capitalization of fixed assets were also identified. The combined errors resulted in a cumulative overstatement in Retained earnings of $24 million at December 31, 2011 and primarily impacted Net sales, Cost of sales, and the balance sheet accounts identified in the table below.
 
In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 250-10-S99 ("ASC 250-10-S99"), the Corporation evaluated these errors and, based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, determined that they were not material to any one of the prior reporting periods affected and, therefore, amendment of previously filed reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission is not required.
 
However, if the adjustments to correct the cumulative effect of the aforementioned errors had been recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the impact would have been material to those two periods. Therefore, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 108, the Corporation has restated the prior period financial statements included within this filing as summarized below.
 
The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity as of December 31, 2010 and for the year ended December 31, 2011, and the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2011 have been restated and retrospectively reclassified for the discontinued operations of the heat treating business as discussed in Note 3 as follows:

On April 19, 2012, the Corporation acquired two product lines from the Amidyne Group for approximately $7 million.  The product lines serve the commercial nuclear power market, and consist of original equipment and re-engineered replacement products for obsolete equipment. The Corporation will integrate both product lines into its Flow Control segment.  In connection with this acquisition, we recorded approximately $3 million in identifiable intangible assets, consisting primarily of finite-lived customer relationships, and approximately $3 million in Goodwill. The purchase price allocation relating to the business acquired is based on an initial estimate, and subject to revision, based upon final analysis including input from third party appraisals, when deemed appropriate.  The determination of fair value is finalized no later than twelve months from the date of acquisition.
 
During the second quarter of 2012, the Corporation performed an interim goodwill impairment test for its oil and gas reporting unit, within its Flow Control segment, as a result of on-going customer delays of international capital expenditures. Based on the interim impairment analysis, the Corporation determined that there was no impairment and its oil and gas reporting unit’s estimated fair value was not substantially in excess of its carrying amount. For further discussion on the Corporation’s interim impairment analysis please refer to our Critical Accounting Policy section in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

8.           FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts
 
The Corporation has foreign currency exposure primarily in Europe and Canada.  The Corporation uses financial instruments, such as forward contracts, to hedge a portion of existing and anticipated foreign currency denominated transactions.  The purpose of the Corporation’s foreign currency risk management program is to reduce volatility in earnings caused by exchange rate fluctuations.  Guidance on accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities requires companies to recognize all of the derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based upon quoted market prices for comparable instruments.
 
Interest Rate Risks and Related Strategies
 
The Corporation’s primary interest rate exposure results from changes in U.S. dollar interest rates. The Corporation’s policy is to manage interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. The Corporation periodically uses interest rate swaps to manage such exposures. Under these interest rate swaps, the Corporation exchanges, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount.
 
For interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges (i.e., hedges against the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps offset changes in the fair value of the fixed rate debt due to changes in market interest rates.
 
In January 2012, the Corporation entered into three fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements to convert the interest payments of the $200 million, 4.24% notes, due December 1, 2026, from a fixed rate to a floating interest rate based on 1-Month LIBOR plus a 2.02% spread, and one fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreement to convert the interest payments of $25 million of the $100 million, 3.84% notes, due December 1, 2021, from a fixed rate to a floating interest rate based on 1-Month LIBOR plus a 1.90% spread. The notional amounts of the Corporation’s outstanding interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges were $200 million and $25 million at September 30, 2012.
 
The Corporation utilizes the bid ask pricing that is common in the dealer markets to determine the fair value of its interest rate swap agreements and forward foreign exchange contracts.  The dealers are ready to transact at these prices which use the mid-market pricing convention and are considered to be at fair market value.
 
The fair value accounting guidance requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
 
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company has the ability to access.
 
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves.
 
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable data points that are not corroborated by market data.
 
Based upon the fair value hierarchy, all of the forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps are valued at a Level 2.

Debt
 
The estimated fair value amounts were determined by the Corporation using available market information which is primarily based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues as of September 30, 2012.  In accordance with the fair value accounting guidance, all of the Corporation’s debt is classified as Level 2.
 
The carrying amount of the variable interest rate debt approximates fair value because the interest rates are reset periodically to reflect current market conditions.
 
The fair values described below may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.  Furthermore, the use of different methodologies to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
 
In August 2012, we amended and refinanced our existing credit facility by entering into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions, led by Bank of America N.A., Wells Fargo, N.A, and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A..  The proceeds available under the Credit Agreement are to be used for working capital, internal growth initiatives, funding of future acquisitions, and general corporate purposes. Under the terms of the revolving credit agreement, we have a borrowing capacity of $500 million. In addition, the credit agreement features an accordion feature which allows us to borrow an additional $100 million. As of September 30, 2012, we had no borrowings under the credit facility.

Nonrecurring measurements
 
In connection with our 2012 restructuring initiative, during the second quarter of 2012, the Corporation formally announced a plan to cease operations at a certain facility within our Metal Treatment segment by the fourth quarter of 2012.  This decision resulted in a reduction of the useful life of the asset group at the facility.  In accordance with the provisions of the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets guidance of FASB Codification Subtopic 360–10, long-lived assets held and used with a carrying amount of $4.8 million were written down to their fair value of zero, resulting in an impairment charge of $4.8 million, which was included in General and administrative expenses during the three month period ended June 30, 2012 and the nine month period ended September 30, 2012.  The fair value of the impairment charge was determined using the income approach over the reduced useful life of the asset group. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, the impairment charge is classified as a Level 2 measurement as it is based on significant other observable inputs.

The components of the restructuring costs by segment are as follows:
 
Flow Control
 
The Flow Control segment recorded $0.5 million of restructuring charges in the third quarter of 2012 primarily for severance and benefits costs associated with headcount reductions to streamline operations. The segment recorded charges to General and administrative expenses of $0.5 million.
 
In the first nine months of 2012, the Flow Control segment recorded $3.3 million of restructuring charges primarily for severance and benefits costs associated with headcount reductions to streamline operations. The segment recorded charges to Cost of sales of $1.3 million; charges to Selling expenses of $0.3 million; and charges to General and administrative expenses of $1.6 million.
 
The Corporation expects to incur additional restructuring charges of less than $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 related to additional restructuring activities within the Flow Control segment.
 
Motion Control
 
The Motion Control segment recorded $0.4 million of restructuring charges in the third quarter of 2012 primarily for severance and benefits costs associated with headcount reductions to streamline operations. The segment recorded charges to Cost of sales of $0.2 million; and charges to General and administrative expenses of $0.2 million.
 
In the first nine months of 2012, the Motion Control segment recorded $3.4 million of restructuring charges primarily for severance and benefits costs associated with headcount reductions to streamline operations. The segment recorded charges to Cost of sales of $2.4 million; and charges to General and administrative expenses of $1 million.

In the first nine months of 2012, the Metal Treatment segment recorded cash charges to Cost of sales of $1.2 million; and non-cash charges of $4.8 million to General and administrative expenses.  The cash costs were primarily associated with facility shut-down expenses and severance and benefits costs related to headcount reductions, while the $4.8 million of non-cash costs were primarily related to fixed asset and inventory write-downs.
 
The Corporation expects to incur restructuring charges of $6.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 related to additional restructuring activities within the Metal Treatment segment.  The charges we expect to incur primarily represent the fair value of a liability associated with exiting a leased facility.

As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, there were 1,260,000 and 2,779,000 stock options outstanding, respectively, that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the exercise price of these options was greater than their average market value, which would result in an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share.
