PART I
The Registrant, Moog Inc., a New York corporation formed in 1951, is referred to in this report as “Moog” or the "Company" or in the nominative “we” or the possessive “our.”
Unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise requires, all references to years in this report are to fiscal years.  
Item 1. 

Business.
Description of the Business. Moog is a worldwide designer, manufacturer and systems integrator of high performance precision motion and fluid controls and controls systems for a broad range of applications in aerospace and defense and industrial markets. We have three operating segments: Aircraft Controls, Space and Defense Controls and Industrial Systems.
Additional information describing the business and comparative segment revenues, operating profits and related financial information for 2022, 2021 and 2020 are provided in Note 21 - Segments, of Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this report.
Distribution. Our sales and marketing organization consists of individuals possessing highly specialized technical expertise. This expertise is required in order to effectively evaluate a customer’s precision control requirements and to facilitate communication between the customer and our engineering staff. Our sales staff is the primary contact with customers. Manufacturers’ representatives are used to cover certain domestic aerospace markets. Distributors are used selectively to cover certain industrial and medical markets.
Industry and Competitive Conditions. We experience considerable competition in our aerospace and defense and industrial markets. We believe that the principal points of competition in our markets are product quality, reliability, price, design and engineering capabilities, product development, conformity to customer specifications, timeliness of delivery, effectiveness of the distribution organization and quality of support after the sale. We believe we compete effectively on all of these bases. Competitors in our three operating segments include:
Aircraft Controls: Curtiss-Wright, Liebherr, Nabtesco, Parker-Hannifin, Raytheon Technologies and Woodward.
Space and Defense Controls: Aerojet Rocketdyne, Airbus, Altra Industrial Motion Corp, Beyond Gravity, Cobham, Curtiss-Wright, Eaton, Elbit Systems LTD, EOS Defense Systems USA, Inc., Everaxis, General Atomics, General Dynamics, Glenair, Honeywell, John Cockerill Group, Kongsberg, Mottrol, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, Raytheon Technologies, Schleifring, SEAKR, VACCO, Vincorion, Wittenstein Group and Woodward.
Industrial Systems: Allied Motion, Baumüller, Atos S.p.A, Bosch Rexroth, Cardinal Health, Eaton, ebm-papst, Eitan Medical LTD, ICU Medical, Inc., MTS Systems, Nidec, Parker-Hannifin, Schleifring, Shinano Kenshi, Wittenstein Group and Woodward.
Government Contracts. All United States ("U.S.") Government contracts are subject to termination by the U.S. Government. In 2022, sales under U.S. Government contracts represented 42% of total sales and were primarily within our Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls segments.
Backlog. Our twelve-month backlog represents confirmed orders we believe will be recognized as revenue within the next twelve months. As noted in Item 6, Selected Financial Data of this report, as of October 1, 2022, our twelve-month backlog was $2.3 billion, an increase of 10% compared to October 2, 2021. See Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this report for a discussion on the various business drivers and conditions contributing to the twelve-month backlog change.
Raw Materials. Materials, supplies and components are purchased from numerous suppliers. We believe the loss of any one supplier, although potentially disruptive in the short-term, would not materially affect our operations in the long-term.
Working Capital. See the discussion on operating cycle in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this report.
Seasonality. Our business is generally not seasonal; however, certain products and systems, such as those in the energy market of our Industrial Systems segment, do experience seasonal variations in sales levels.

Patents. We maintain a patent portfolio of issued or pending patents and patent applications worldwide that generally includes the U.S., Europe, China, Japan and India. The portfolio includes patents that relate to electrohydraulic, electromechanical, electronics, hydraulics, components and methods of operation and manufacture as related to motion control and actuation systems. The portfolio also includes patents related to wind turbines, robotics, vibration control and medical devices. We do not consider any one or more of these patents or patent applications to be material in relation to our business as a whole. The patent portfolio related to certain medical devices is significant to our position in this market as several of these products work exclusively together, and provide us future revenue opportunities.
Research Activities. Research and development activity has been, and continues to be, significant for us. Research and development expense was at least $110 million in each of the last three years and represented approximately 4% of sales in 2022.
Human Capital Resources. Moog possesses a unique culture that fuels our business success. Our nearly 14,000 employees across over 20 countries work closely together, driven by a shared sense of purpose and a desire to do the right thing. We value our ground-breaking, challenging work and what we stand for. We value the skill and commitment of our talented workforce above all else. Whether it’s enabling a Mars Rover to land safely or helping to support breakthrough advances in healthcare, together, we solve our customers’ most difficult challenges.

Although we are a successful, global business, our employees feel like they are amongst friends and are comfortable being themselves. We empower them to find innovative ways of accomplishing things, and the scale of our business means that careers can develop in exciting and unexpected directions. For prospective employees looking for inspiring and meaningful work in a warm, respectful, family-like environment, Moog will feel like home.

In order to ensure we live our values and our culture stays unique and strong, our Board of Directors and executive team put significant focus on our human capital resources. These are some of the key aspects of Moog’s human capital strategy:

Employee Recruitment

Moog actively seeks to attract the best talent from a diverse range of sources and industries in order to meet the current and future demands of our business. We have established relationships with trade schools, world-class universities, professional associations, and industry groups to proactively attract talent.

In 2022, we hired 1,792 new regular employees throughout the world.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Moog aspires to be diverse, equitable, and inclusive, where employees are empowered to bring their whole, authentic selves to work every day. We believe being diverse, equitable and inclusive is better for all of our employees, customers and shareholders.

During 2022, we continued to make progress toward our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ("DE&I") strategy. In support of this strategy, we:

Grew our DE&I curriculum to continue to help our employees understand the value of inclusivity, the very different experiences people have, and the role we all must play in creating an inclusive and welcoming environment at Moog.
Honored employees from different backgrounds and helped increase understanding through a variety of monthly celebrations, including, but not limited, to Black History Month, International Women’s Day, and Pride Month.
Expanded our pilot of Employee Resource Groups ("ERGs") to include Veterans and LGBTQ+. Our ERGs are voluntary, employee-led, corporate-supported groups that are organized primarily around a defined characteristic, special interest, or life experience. We currently have five ERG chapters focused on Employees of Color, Women (2 chapters), Veterans and LGBTQ+.

At Moog, we are continuously striving to ensure the diversity of our organization more fully represents the diversity of the communities in which we operate.

Compensation and Benefits

Moog works to maintain compensation, benefits and rewards programs that enable us to attract, retain, motivate, and reward employees for their contributions to company performance. Our compensation and rewards programs are linked closely to our values of We Are All In This Together, We Try Harder, Competence Is King and Performance And Commitment Should Be Rewarded.

Moog is committed to providing comprehensive benefit options that reflect the differing priorities and needs of our sites globally, governed by an intent to offer plans that will allow our employees and their families to live healthier and more secure lives.

In addition to traditional employee benefits, Moog has a number of innovative initiatives to support the well-being of our employee base, including onsite wellness clinics at a number of locations, online tools that assist employees with their physical and mental health, special events with outside vendors and participants focusing on employee well-being and much more.

Health and Safety

Maintaining a safe and healthy work environment is a key priority and a responsibility for all of our employees. At Moog, we embrace a continuous improvement approach with regard to our global Environment, Health & Safety ("EHS") culture. All Moog businesses strive to operate in a responsible manner that demonstrates our commitment to the health and safety of our employees, customers, suppliers, communities and the environment. Our commitment will not be compromised. We expect our employees, visitors and service providersto follow our EHS standards and practices. We regularly conduct training for all of our employees and work hard to learn lessons from every incident. Additionally, we measure and review our EHS results continuously in each location.

Employee Engagement and Retention

Moog is deeply committed to continuously evolving into an even better place to work. We're built on a strong foundation of mutual trust and the premise that we must engage with employees at different levels to empower our people, enable progress and align efforts.

Moog employs a variety of mechanisms to collect and respond to feedback from our employees. We conduct a regular employee engagement survey. We also leverage focus groups and listening sessions to solicit feedback. In response to employee feedback and in acknowledgment of the changing landscape brought about by the global pandemic, Moog has been piloting a variety of flexible working arrangements, including remote work and hybrid working schedules. We are implementing these changes in a way that allows our employees to collaborate and innovate in the Moog Way that has made us so successful to date.

We see our positive employee engagement coming through in high levels of employee retention. For the last four years, the average of voluntary attrition has been just below 8% of our workforce. That is a competitive attrition figure and a testament to Moog being a great place to work.

Leadership Development and Training

At Moog, we believe that the best leaders are the ones who come from within. These leaders learn with us, grow with us, and reach their potential through challenging job and deliberate learning experiences we provide. Moog's leadership development strategy is to aid in the growth of its leaders at the various stages of leadership. At the foundation of these stages is our Moog Values, Moog Leadership Qualities and our Business Strategy and Processes.

Table of Contents
Moog has carefully designed two leadership development programs to improve the effectiveness of our managers. Our Moog Leadership Program is a two-year program designed to expand, develop, support, and sustain high potential leadership throughout the Company. Our Emerging Leadership Program is a nine-month global, cross-group leadership development program. The goal of this program is to accelerate the development of a pool of global, cross-group top talent in order to help meet the demand for important leadership roles throughout our Company. For their specific leadership needs, the operating groups have leadership programs for those emerging leaders as well, the Aircraft Group Leadership Development Program, the Space and Defense Launch Leadership Development Program and the Industrial Group Leadership Pathway. The goal of these programs is to accelerate the development of our talent in order to meet the demands for important leadership roles within the operating groups. Finally, to establish the foundations of leadership, we have our Leading and Coaching People program, which is a two-day course open to all leaders that provides the foundational framework for engaging, empowering, and coaching employees for optimal performance.    

In addition to our leadership development programs, Moog has many other valuable development resources available for employees in order to ensure our people have everything they need to succeed both personally and professionally. These resources include a Global Mentoring Program and a Moog Leadership Qualities Library to help give our leaders guidance and support. Moog facilitates these training opportunities and programs through state-of-the-art learning and talent management systems. Our employees are encouraged to take responsibility for their own development and create learning plans that fit their needs and development goals best.

Succession Planning

Each year Moog conducts an extensive talent review across our global enterprise that includes, among other important topics, a review of succession plans for many of our roles. To ensure the long-term continuity of our business, we actively manage the development of talent to fill the roles that are most critical to the on-going success of our Company.

Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility

Our values, rooted in trust, integrity, and collaboration, lay the foundation for Moog's commitment to grow as a sustainable corporation. As a developer of advanced motion control products, we believe in momentum and our shared responsibility to protect people and the planet now and for generations to come. At Moog, we are committed to:

Protecting our planet by minimizing our environmental impact.
Striving to contribute our time, talent, and resources to strengthen the communities where we do business.
Engaging in ethical practices.

We are committed to a more inclusive, equitable world which is reflected in our corporate culture, work environment, supply chain and community support around the globe.

Currently, we are assessing our environmental, social and governance impact in all of our locations across 25 countries. Among other areas, we are evaluating our direct and indirect greenhouse emissions, how we operate and our effect on stakeholders. This latest available data will help us establish a baseline and set ambitious sustainability goals across the business. See our First Sustainability Report at https://www.moog.com/sustainability.html. The content of the Sustainability Report and the Company's website are not, and should not, be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K or otherwise filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

We're all in this together. Moog and its employees live this mantra with countless initiatives focused on supporting our sustainability strategy and communities. Some recent examples of Moog’s “responsibility in action” include:

Environmental Innovation: Bobcat contacted Moog's innovation team to design components for an all-electric compact loader prototype. The concept vehicle is proving that electric solutions can replace traditional hydraulics and diesel power on some construction vehicle models.
Our Wolverhampton, United Kingdom ("UK") site has transitioned 90% of its electric lighting to LED bulbs; in doing so, the site will save over 13,000 kWh each year.
Our U.S. and UK organizations piloted a “direct giving program” that allows our employees to contribute funds and volunteer time to local charities that are meaningful to them.

Business Ethics

Moog is fully dedicated to conducting ourselves by the letter and in the spirit of the many laws and standards that apply to our business. Ethics are deeply embedded in our values and business processes. We regularly re-enforce our commitment to ethics and integrity in employee communications, in our everyday actions and in processes and controls. As a part of our on-going efforts to ensure our employees conduct business with the highest levels of ethics and integrity, Moog has compliance training programs in multiple languages. We also maintain two ethics related hotlines, through which individuals can anonymously raise concerns they have about business behavior they do not feel comfortable discussing personally with business operations managers or human resources personnel. The Company's general confidential ethics hotline is administered by internal company counsel designated as Moog's ethics advocate. In addition, we maintain a separate hotline for cases wherein an employee believes that the Company's financial statements are materially misstated as a result of intentional acts or material weaknesses in the systems of internal control. This hotline is administered by the Company's corporate Secretary.
Customers. Our principal customers are Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs"), and end users for whom we provide aftermarket support. Aerospace and defense OEM customers collectively represented 58% of 2022 sales. The majority of these sales are to a small number of large companies. Due to the long-term nature of many of the programs, many of our relationships with aerospace and defense OEM customers are based on long-term agreements. Our industrial OEM sales, which represented 30% of 2022 sales, are to a wide range of global customers and are normally based on lead times of 90 days or less. We also provide aftermarket support, consisting of spare and replacement parts and repair and overhaul services, for all of our products. Our major aftermarket customers are the U.S. Government and commercial airlines. In 2022, aftermarket sales accounted for 12% of total sales.
Significant customers in our three operating segments include:

Item 1. Business.
Description of the Business. Moog is a worldwide designer, manufacturer and systems integrator of high performance precision motion and fluid controls and controls systems for a broad range of applications in aerospace and defense and industrial markets. We have four operating segments: Aircraft Controls, Space and Defense Controls, Industrial Systems and Components.
Additional information describing the business and comparative segment revenues, operating profits and related financial information for 2017, 2016 and 2015 are provided in Note 17 of Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this report.
Distribution. Our sales and marketing organization consists of individuals possessing highly specialized technical expertise. This expertise is required in order to effectively evaluate a customer’s precision control requirements and to facilitate communication between the customer and our engineering staff. Our sales staff is the primary contact with customers. Manufacturers’ representatives are used to cover certain domestic aerospace markets. Distributors are used selectively to cover certain industrial and medical markets.
Industry and Competitive Conditions. We experience considerable competition in our aerospace and defense and industrial markets. We believe that the principal points of competition in our markets are product quality, reliability, price, design and engineering capabilities, product development, conformity to customer specifications, timeliness of delivery, effectiveness of the distribution organization and quality of support after the sale.

Backlog. Our twelve-month backlog represents confirmed orders we believe will be recognized as revenue within the next twelve months. As noted in Item 6, Selected Financial Data of this report, as of September 30, 2017, our twelve-month backlog was $1.2 billion, a decline of 1% compared to October 1, 2016. See Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this report for a discussion on the various business drivers and conditions contributing to the twelve-month backlog change.
Raw Materials. Materials, supplies and components are purchased from numerous suppliers. We believe the loss of any one supplier, although potentially disruptive in the short-term, would not materially affect our operations in the long-term.
Working Capital. See the discussion on operating cycle in Note 1 of Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this report.
Seasonality. Our business is generally not seasonal; however, certain products and systems, such as those in the energy market of our Industrial Systems segment, do experience seasonal variations in sales levels.

Patents. We maintain a patent portfolio of issued or pending patents and patent applications worldwide that generally includes the U.S., Europe, China, Japan and India. The portfolio includes patents that relate to electrohydraulic, electromechanical, electronics, hydraulics, components and methods of operation and manufacture as related to motion control and actuation systems. The portfolio also includes patents related to wind turbines, robotics, surveillance/security, vibration control and medical devices. We do not consider any one or more of these patents or patent applications to be material in relation to our business as a whole. The patent portfolio related to certain medical devices is significant to our position in this market as several of these products work exclusively together, and provide us future revenue opportunities.
Research Activities. Research and development activity has been, and continues to be, significant for us. Research and development expense was at least $140 million in each of the last three years and represented approximately 6% of sales in 2017.
Employees. On September 30, 2017, we employed 10,675 full-time employees.
Customers. Our principal customers are Original Equipment Manufacturers, or OEMs, and end users for whom we provide aftermarket support.

Item 1A. 

Risk Factors.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations face many risks, many of which are not exclusively within our control. The marketsknown, material risks to our business summarized below should be carefully considered together with all of the other information included in this report, including the financial statements and related notes. Any of the risks discussed below, elsewhere in this report or in our other SEC filings could have a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Although the risks summarized below are organized by heading, and each risk is summarized separately, many of the risks are interrelated. While we serve are cyclicalbelieve we have identified and sensitivediscussed below the material risks affecting our business, there may be additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to domestic and foreign economic conditions and events, whichus or that we currently consider immaterial that may causematerially adversely affect our operatingbusiness, financial condition or results to fluctuate. The markets we serve are sensitive to fluctuations in general business cycles as well as domestic and foreign economic conditions and events. For example, our defense programs are largely contingent on U.S. Department of Defense funding. In addition, our space programs rely on the same governmental funding as well as investment for commercial and exploration activities. Our aerospace programs are dependent on the highly cyclical commercial airline industry, driven by fuel price increases, demand for travel and economic conditions. Demand for our industrial products is dependent upon several factors, including capital investment, product innovations, economic growth, the price of oil and natural gas, cost-reduction efforts and technology upgrades. Our sales and operating profit have been affected by the continued low rates of recoveryoperations in the economies in which we conduct business. If global economic uncertainties continue or deteriorates, our operations could be negatively impacted through declines in our sales, profitabilityfuture and cash flows due to lower orders, payment delaysmay require significant management time and price pressures for our products.attention.
STRATEGIC RISKS
We operate in highly competitive markets with competitors who may have greater resources than we possess.possess. Many of our products are sold in highly competitive markets. Some of our competitors, especially in our industrial markets and medical markets, are larger, more diversified and have greater financial, marketing, production and research and development resources. Within the aerospace and defense industries, suppliers have consolidated to widen their product offerings and to secure long-term sole-source positions. As a result, theythese competitors may be better able to withstand the effects of periodic economic downturns.downturns, including withstanding the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, our competitors' wins could increase their market share, which would reduce the total number of viable suppliers. Our sales and operating margins will be negatively impacted if our competitors: 
develop products that are superior to our products,
develop products of comparable quality and performance that are more competitively priced than our products,
develop more efficient and effective manufacturing methods of more efficiently and effectively providingfor their products and services, or
adapt more quickly than we do to new technologiestechnological innovations or evolving customer requirements.

We believe that the principal points of competition in our markets are product quality, reliability, price, design and engineering capabilities, product development,price, innovation, conformity to customercustomers' specifications, timeliness of delivery, effectiveness of the distribution organization and quality of support after the sale. Maintaining or improving our competitive position requires continued investment in manufacturing, engineering, quality standards, marketing, customer service and support and our distribution networks. If we do not maintain sufficient resources to make these investments, are not successful in meeting our quality or delivery standards or are not successful in maintaining our competitive position, we could face pricing pressures or loss in market share, causing our operations and financial performance to suffer.
Our research and development and innovation efforts are substantial and may not be successful, which could reduce our sales and earnings. Our products and technological capabilities have undergone, and in the future may undergo, significant changes. In order to maintain a leadership position in the high-performance, precision controls market in the future, we have incurred, and we expect to continue to incur, expenses associated with research and development and innovation activities during the introduction of new products. Our technology has been developed through customer-funded and internally-funded research and development investments, as well as through business acquisitions. If we fail to predict customers' preferences or fail to provide viable technological solutions, we may experience inefficiencies that could delay or prevent the acceptance of new products or product innovations. Also, incurred research and development expenses may exceed our cost estimates and the new products we develop may not generate sales sufficient to offset our investments. Additionally, our competitors may develop technologies or products that have more competitive advantages than ours and render our technology noncompetitive or obsolete.

If we are unable to adequately enforce and protect our intellectual property or defend against assertions of infringement, our business and our ability to compete could be harmed. Protecting our intellectual property is critical in order to maintain a competitive advantage. We therefore rely on internally developed and acquired patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, proprietary know-how to establish and protect our technologies and products. However, these measures afford only limited protection, and our patent rights and other intellectual property protections have been in the past, and may be in the future, infringed, misappropriated, misrepresented, copied without authorization, circumvented or invalidated in the U.S. or in foreign countries that do not offer the same level of intellectual property protections. Also, as our patents and other intellectual property protections expire, we may face increased competition. Additionally, we cannot be assured that our existing or planned products do not, or will not, infringe on the intellectual property rights of others or that others will not claim such infringement. When others infringe on our intellectual property rights, the value of our products is diminished, and we may incur substantial litigation costs to enforce our rights. Litigation could also divert management's focus and resources away from operations. If we are unable to adequately enforce and protect our intellectual property or defend against assertions of infringement, we could face reputational harm and our inability to defend against these scenarios could have an adverse effect on our competitive position, our business operations and financial condition.
Our sales and earnings may be affected if we cannot identify, acquire or integrate strategic acquisitions, or as we conduct divestitures. Acquisitions are an element of our growth strategy as we opportunistically make investments in our businesses. Our historical growth has depended, and our future growth is likely to depend, in part, on our ability to successfully identify, acquire and integrate acquired businesses. We intend to seek additional acquisition opportunities throughout the world, both to expand into new markets and to enhance our position in existing markets. Growth by acquisition involves risk that could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results. We may not know the potential exposure to unanticipated liabilities. Additionally, the expected benefits or synergies might not be fully realized, integrating operations and personnel may be slowed and key employees, suppliers or customers of the acquired business may depart. As a result of our ongoing operational assessment, we may continue to divest assets or businesses if we deem the operations as non-strategic or no longer support the level of customer demand. Also, divestitures could adversely affect our profitability and, under certain circumstances, require us to record impairment charges or losses as a result of a transaction. In pursuing acquisition opportunities, integrating acquired businesses or divesting business operations, management's time and attention may be diverted from our core business, while consuming resources and incurring expenses for these activities.

MARKET CONDITION RISKS
The markets we serve are cyclical and sensitive to domestic and foreign economic conditions and events, which may cause our operating results to fluctuate. The markets we serve are sensitive to fluctuations in general business cycles, global pandemics, domestic and foreign governmental tariffs, trade and monetary policies and economic conditions and events, and are facing varying levels of pressure from the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic drastically reduced air traffic as travel restrictions and social distancing measures were implemented to help control the spread of the virus. While U.S. domestic air travel has recovered, international travel utilizing wide-body aircraft will take longer to fully recover. Furthermore, as companies and employees become accustomed to working remotely, business travel and the associated flight hours may not reach the pre-pandemic levels. As such, we believe The Boeing Company, or Boeing, and Airbus may continue to directionally match their wide-body aircraft production rates with the reduced, albeit recovering, air traffic volume, which has lowered their demand for our flight control systems. Other factors influencing our business, including our defense and our space programs, are largely contingent on U.S. Department of Defense investment funding, which can fluctuate. Our industrial product demand depends upon several factors including levels of capital investment, the pace of product innovations and technology upgrades, changing economic conditions and the current and forecasted price of oil and natural gas. If the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic uncertainties deteriorate, our operations could be negatively impacted through declines in our sales, profitability and cash flows as a result of lower orders, payment delays and price pressures for our products.
We depend heavily on government contracts that may not be fully funded or may be terminated, and the failure to receive funding or the termination of one or more of these contracts could reduce our sales and increase our costs. Sales to the U.S. Government and its prime contractors and subcontractors represent a significant portion of our business. In 2017,2022, sales under U.S. Government contracts represented 31%42% of our total sales, primarily within Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls and Components.Controls. Sales to foreign governments represented 5%8% of our total sales. Funding for government programs can be structured into a series of individual contracts and depend on cyclical annual congressional appropriations, whichappropriations. At times when there are subjectperceived threats to change. Additionally, the 2011 Budget Control Act reduced the Department ofnational security, U.S. Defense spending (or sequestration) by approximately $500 billion. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 provided stability and modest growth in the Department of Defensecan increase; at other times, defense spending through 2017. However, future budgets beyond 2017 are uncertain with respect to the overallcan decrease. Future levels of defense spending. As a result of this uncertainty, we expect discretionary government spending levels will face pressure, leadingare uncertain and subject to procurement cost reductions.congressional debate and spending prioritization. Any reduction in future Department of Defense spending levels could adversely impact our sales, operating profit and our cash flow. We have resources applied to specific government contracts and if any of those contracts are rescheduled or terminated, we may incur substantial costs redeploying those resources.

The loss of The Boeing Company or Lockheed Martin as a customer or a significant reduction in sales to either company could adversely impact our operating results. We provide Boeing with controls for both military and commercial applications, as well as controls for space and defense applications, which totaled 11% of our 2022 sales. We provide Lockheed Martin similar products for military, space and defense applications, which totaled 9% of our 2022 sales. Sales to Boeing's commercial airplane group are generally made under long-term supply agreements. Boeing operates in a competitive environment and continues to evaluate the size, scope and cost of their supplier base. Also, Boeing continues to match their commercial production rates to the resized global air traffic volume due to the residual impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a portion of our sales to Boeing and Lockheed Martin is tied to varying levels of government defense spending, a reduction in future Department of Defense spending levels could adversely impact our sales, operating profit and cash flow. Furthermore, a loss of Boeing or Lockheed Martin as a customer could reduce our sales and earnings.
We may not realize the full amounts reflected in our backlog as revenue, which could adversely affect our future revenue and growth prospects. As of October 1, 2022, our total backlog was $5.2 billion, which represents confirmed orders we believe will be recognized as revenue. There is no assurance that our customers will purchase all the orders represented in our backlog. A significant portion of our backlog relates to commercial aircraft programs. We believe Boeing and Airbus will continue to directionally match their wide-body aircraft production rates with the resized international air traffic volume in response to the COVID-19 impacts, which have lowered their demand for our flight control systems and may cause us to never realize the full amounts included in our commercial backlog. Also, given the uncertain nature of our contracts with the U.S. Government and other foreign governments, in part due to governments' abilities to modify, curtail or terminate major programs, we may not realize the full revenue value of the orders included in our backlog. If this occurs, our future revenue and growth prospects may be adversely affected.

OPERATIONAL RISKS
A reduced supply, as well as inflated prices, across various raw materials and third-party provided components and sub-assemblies within our supply chain could have a material impact on our ability to manufacture and ship our products, in addition to adversely impacting our operating profit and balance sheet.Constraints in our supply chain, due both to worldwide demand for electronics and components across several end markets and the continued impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, has affected our business. We are occasionally experiencing shortages and delays in materials and components necessary in our manufacturing processes, preventing us from completing and shipping our final products on time. As a result of these interruptions and long lead times that we expect to continue, we are selectively purchasing, in advance, certain raw materials and third-party provided components and sub-assemblies that we are concerned might otherwise be delayed. Additionally, the prices for materials and components used in our products has increased, adding additional pressures to our operating margins. We may be unable to raise our prices for our products equal to the rate of inflation, and if our constrained supply chain continues, our operating profit and balance sheet may be negatively impacted.
We face various risks related to health pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which have had material adverse consequences on our operations, financial position, cash flows, and those of our customers and suppliers. The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the associated pandemic-related responses, disrupted businesses on a global scale, led to significant volatility in financial markets and affected the aviation and industrial industries. As a result, we experienced, and may continue to experience, lower levels of customer demand for our products, particularly in our commercial aircraft market. To-date, substantially all of our operations and production activities have remained operational. However, the impacts of the pandemic have placed labor and supply chain pressures on our business and we have been impacted by localized lockdowns. While our backlog continues to grow across our end markets as economic activity recovers, ongoing COVID-19 disruptions continue to challenge our business. We will continue to monitor the situation, assessing further possible implications on our operations, labor force, supply chain, liquidity, cash flow and customer orders, and will continue taking actions in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences.
If our subcontractors or suppliers fail to perform their contractual obligations, our prime contract performance and our ability to obtain future business could be materially and adversely impacted. With respect to many of our contracts, we rely on other companies to perform portions of the manufacturing process of our products. While we actively manage our supply chain establishing alternate sources, some business conditions cause us to obtain certain components and sub-assemblies from a single supplier or a limited group of suppliers. There are risks that we may have disputes with our subcontractors regarding the quality and timeliness of work performed by the subcontractor, customer concerns about the subcontractor, our failure to extend existing task orders or issue new task orders under a subcontract or our hiring of personnel of a subcontractor. Failure by our sole-sourced or group of subcontractors to satisfactorily provide on a timely basis the agreed-upon, defect-free supplies, or perform the agreed-upon services, may materially and adversely impact our ability to perform our obligations as the prime contractor. Subcontractor performance deficiencies could result in a customer terminating our contract for default, which could expose us to liability and substantially impair our ability to compete for future orders.
We face, and may continue to face risks related to information systems interruptions, intrusions and or new software implementations, which may adversely affect our business operations. We rely extensively on various information technologies throughout our company supporting nearly every business activity. In doing so, we work with sensitive data types including proprietary business information, intellectual property and confidential employee data. Handling and storage of this data, either onsite or managed by authorized third parties, may be subject to privacy, security, or other regulatory requirements. Business operations face risks, and may continue to face risks, due to information system errors, equipment failures, or ever-evolving cyber-attacks. Unauthorized access or tampering via cybersecurity incidents may result in potential data corruption, exposure of proprietary or confidential information and work stoppages. Our vulnerability to cybersecurity risks may have also increased after adopting a hybrid working policy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, empowering employees to work productively outside of the office when appropriate. Additionally, we have and expect to incur additional costs to comply with our customers' increased cybersecurity protections and standards, including those of the U.S. Government. We have embarked on multi-year business information system transformation and standardization projects. These endeavors are complex and company-wide, involving new technologies and may introduce risk to our cybersecurity infrastructure. While we are investing significant resources throughout the planning, project managing and deployment processes, unanticipated delays could occur and could adversely affect our financial results. Any of these cybersecurity issues may cause operational stoppages, increased operational costs, fines, penalties and diminished competitive advantages through reputational damages.

We may not be able to prevent, or timely detect, issues with our products and our manufacturing processes which may adversely affect our operations and our earnings.We must continuously improve product development and manufacturing processes and systems to ensure we deliver high-quality, technically advanced products. Due to growth in operations, there is a risk our current manufacturing processes and systems are unable to maintain our high-quality and on-time delivery standards for our customers. If we are unable to maintain these standards, we could experience late deliveries and penalties, recalls, increased warranty costs, order cancellations and litigation.
The failure or misuse of our products may damage our reputation, necessitate a product recall or result in claims against us that exceed our insurance coverage, thereby requiring us to pay significant damages. Defects in the design and manufacture of our products or our subcontractors' products may necessitate a product recall. We include complex system designs and components in our products that could contain errors or defects, particularly when we incorporate new technologies into our products. If any of our products are defective, we could be required to redesign or recall those products, pay substantial damages or warranty claims and face actions by regulatory bodies and government authorities. Such an event could result in significant expenses, delay sales, inflate inventory, cause reputational damage or cause us to withdraw from certain markets. We are also exposed to product liability claims. Many of our products are used in applications where their failure or misuse could result in significant property loss and serious personal injury or death. We carry product liability insurance consistent with industry norms. However, these insurance coverages may not be sufficient to fully cover the payment of any potential claim. A product recall or a product liability claim not covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
FINANCIAL RISKS
We make estimates in accounting for long-termover-time contracts, and changes in these estimates may have significant impacts on our earnings. We have long-termover-time contracts with some of our customers. These contracts arecustomers, predominantly within Aircraft Controlsin our aerospace and Space and Defense Controls. Revenue representing 38% of 2017 sales was accounted for using the percentage of completion, cost-to-cost method of accounting. Under this method, wedefense markets. We recognize revenue as work progresses toward completion as determined by the ratio of cumulativeusing an input method that uses costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs atmeasure progress toward completion multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative revenue recognized in prior periods.("cost-to-cost"). Changes in these required estimates could have a material adverse effect on sales and profits. Any adjustments are recognized in the period in which the change becomes known using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. For contracts with anticipated losses at completion, we establish a provision for the entire amount of the estimated remaining loss and charge it against income in the period in which the loss becomes known.known and can be reasonably estimated. Amounts representing performance incentives, penalties, contract claims or impacts of scope change negotiations are considered in estimating revenues, costs and profits when they can be reliably estimated and realization is considered probable. Due to the substantial judgments involved with this process, our actual results could differ materially or could be settled unfavorably from our estimates. See Note 2 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers of Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this report.
We enter into fixed-price contracts, which could subject us to losses if we have cost overruns. In 2017,2022, fixed-price contracts represented 92%90% of our sales that were accounted for using the percentage of completion, cost-to-cost method of accounting.method. On fixed-price contracts, we agree to perform the scope of work specified in the contract for a predetermined price. Depending on the fixed price negotiated, these contracts may provide us with an opportunity to achieve higher profits based on the relationship between our total contract costs and the contract's fixed price. However, we bear the risk that increased or unexpected costs may reduce our profit or cause us to incur a loss on the contract, which would reduce our net earnings. LossAlthough we closely monitor all programs and continuously seek opportunities, in coordination with our customers and suppliers, to mitigate future material impacts on profitability resulting from higher costs for labor or material, we may be unsuccessful in these efforts and our net earnings may be reduced. Contract loss reserves are most commonly associated with fixed-price contracts that involve the design and development of new and unique controls orinnovative control systems to meet the customer's specifications.
Our indebtedness and restrictive covenants under our credit facilities and indenture governing our senior notes could limit our operational and financial flexibility.We have incurred significant indebtedness and may not realizeincur additional debt as we invest in operations, research and development, capital expenditures and acquisitions. Our ability to make scheduled interest and principal payments could be adversely impacted by changes in the full amounts reflectedavailability, terms and cost of capital, changes in interest rates or changes in our backlog as revenue,credit ratings or our outlook. These changes could increase our cost of debt, limiting our ability to meet operational and capital needs, delaying our reactions to changes in market conditions and pursuing acquisitions, thereby placing us at a competitive disadvantage. In addition, the restrictive covenants under both our credit facilities and the indenture governing our senior notes could limit our operational and financial flexibility, which could also impact our ability to operate our business.

Significant changes in discount rates, rates of return on pension assets, mortality tables and other factors could adversely affect our future revenueearnings and growth prospects. Asequity and increase our pension funding requirements. Pension costs and obligations are determined using actual results as well as actuarial valuations that involve several assumptions. The most critical assumptions are the discount rate, the long-term expected return on assets and mortality tables. Other assumptions include salary increases and retirement age. Some of September 30, 2017, our twelve-month backlog was $1.2 billion, which represents confirmed orders we believe will be recognizedthese assumptions, such as revenue within the next twelve months. There is no assurance that our customers will purchase all the orders represented in our backlog, due in part to the U.S. Government's ability not to exercise contract options or to modify, curtail or terminate major programs. Due to the uncertain naturediscount rate and return on pension assets, are reflective of economic conditions and largely out of our contracts withcontrol. Despite our largest pension plan being essentially fully funded, changes in the U.S. Government, we may never realize revenue from somepension assumptions could adversely affect our earnings, equity and funding requirements.
A write-off of the orders thatall or part of our goodwill or other intangible assets could adversely affect our operating results and net worth. Goodwill and other intangible assets are included in our backlog. Aa substantial portion of our backlog also relates to commercial aircraft programs,assets. At October 1, 2022, goodwill was $805 million and if there are entry into service delays or lower than anticipated deliveries due to production issues, we may never realize the full amounts included in our backlog. If this occurs, our future revenue and growth prospects may be adversely affected.
If our subcontractors or suppliers fail to perform their contractual obligations, our prime contract performance and our ability to obtain future business could be materially and adversely impacted. We rely on subcontracts with other companies to perform a portion of the service we provide to our customers on manyintangible assets were $85 million of our contracts. There is a risk thattotal assets of $3.4 billion. Our goodwill and other intangible assets may increase in the future since our growth strategy includes acquisitions. However, we may have disputes withto write off all or part of our subcontractors, including disputes regarding the qualitygoodwill or other intangible assets if their value becomes impaired. Although this write-off would be a non-cash charge, it could reduce our earnings and timelinessour financial condition significantly. We review whether goodwill or other intangible assets have been impaired annually, or more frequently, if there have been changes in circumstances or conditions.
Unforeseen exposure to additional income tax liabilities may affect our operating results. Our distribution of work performedtaxable income is subject to domestic and, as a result of our significant manufacturing and sales presence in foreign countries, foreign tax jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate and earnings may be affected by the subcontractor, customer concerns about the subcontractor, our failure to extend existing task orders or issue new task orders under a subcontract or our hiring of personnel of a subcontractor. Failure by our subcontractors to satisfactorily provide on a timely basis the agreed-upon supplies, or perform the agreed-upon services, may materially and adversely impact our ability to perform our obligations as the prime contractor. Subcontractor performance deficiencies could result in a customer terminating our contract for default. A default termination could expose us to liability and substantially impair our ability to compete for future contracts and orders. In addition, a delay or failureshifts in our abilitymix of earnings in countries with varying statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and outcomes of any audits performed on previous tax returns. Additionally, any alterations to obtain componentsdomestic and equipment parts fromforeign government tax regulations or interpretations, global minimum taxes or other tax law changes could have significant impacts on our suppliers may adversely affecteffective tax rate and on our ability to perform our obligations to our customers.deferred tax assets and liabilities.
LEGAL AND COMPLIANCE RISKS
Contracting on government programs is subject to significant regulation, including rules related to bidding, billing and accounting kickbacksstandards, and any false claims and anyor non-compliance could subject us to fines, and penalties or possible debarment. Like all government contractors, we We are subject to risks associated with thisgovernment program contracting, including substantial civil and criminal fines and penalties. These fines and penalties could be imposed for failing to follow procurement integrity and bidding rules, employing improper billing practices or otherwise failing to follow cost accounting standards, receiving or paying kickbacks or filing false claims. We have been, and expect to continue to be, subjected to audits and investigations by U.S. and foreign government agencies and authorities. The failure to comply with the terms of our government contracts could harm our business reputation. ItWe also could also result in ourbe subject to withheld progress payments being withheld or our suspension or debarment from future government contracts, which could have a material affecteffect on our operational and financial results.


The loss of The Boeing Company as a customer or a significant reduction in sales to The Boeing Company could adversely impact our operating results. We provide The Boeing Company, or Boeing, with controls for both military and commercial applications, which, in total, were 13% of our 2017 sales. Sales to Boeing's commercial airplane group are generally made under a long-term supply agreement through 2021 for the Boeing 787 and through 2019 for other commercial airplanes. Boeing operates in a competitive environment, and any detrimental impact to Boeing's production could reduce our orders to Boeing. A reduction in sales or the loss of Boeing as a customer could reduce our sales and earnings.
Our new product research and development efforts may not be successful which could reduce our sales and earnings. Technologies related to our products have undergone, and in the future may undergo, significant changes. We have incurred, and we expect to continue to incur, expenses associated with lengthy research and development activities and the introduction of new products in order to succeed in the future. Our technology has been developed through customer-funded and internally-funded research and development, as well as through business acquisitions. If we fail to predict customers' preferences or fail to provide viable technological solutions, we may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the acceptance of new products or product enhancements. Also, the research and development expenses we incur may exceed our cost estimates and new products we develop may not generate sales sufficient to offset our costs. Additionally, our competitors may develop technologies and products that have more competitive advantages than ours and render our technology uncompetitive or obsolete.
Our inability to adequately enforce and protect our intellectual property or defend against assertions of infringement could prevent or restrict our ability to compete. Protecting our intellectual property is critical in order to maintain a competitive advantage. We therefore rely on internally developed and acquired patents, trademarks and proprietary knowledge and technologies. Our inability to defend against the unauthorized use of these rights and assets could have an adverse effect on our competitive position and on our results of operations and financial condition. Litigation may be necessary to protect our intellectual property rights or defend against claims of infringement. This litigation could result in significant costs and divert management's focus away from operations.
Our business operations may be adversely affected by information systems interruptions, intrusions or new software implementations. We are dependent on various information technologies throughout our company to administer, store and support multiple business activities. Disruptions, equipment failures or cybersecurity attacks, such as unauthorized access, malicious software and other intrusions, may lead to potential data corruption and exposure of proprietary and confidential information. Any intrusion may cause operational stoppages, diminished competitive advantages through reputational damages and increased operational costs. In addition, we are in the early stages of a multi-year business information system transformation and standardization project. This endeavor will occupy additional resources, diverting attention from other operational activities, and may cause our information systems to perform unexpectedly. While we expect to invest significant resources throughout the planning and project management process, unanticipated delays could occur.
Our indebtedness and restrictive covenants under our credit facilities could limit our operational and financial flexibility. We have incurred significant indebtedness, and may incur additional debt for acquisitions, operations, research and development and capital expenditures. Our ability to make interest and scheduled principal payments and meet restrictive covenants could be adversely impacted by changes in the availability, terms and cost of capital, changes in interest rates or changes in our credit ratings or our outlook. These changes could increase our cost of business, limiting our ability to pursue acquisition opportunities, react to market conditions and meet operational and capital needs, thereby placing us at a competitive disadvantage.
Significant changes in discount rates, rates of return on pension assets, mortality tables and other factors could adversely affect our earnings and equity and increase our pension funding requirements. Pension costs and obligations are determined using actual results as well as actuarial valuations that involve several assumptions. The most critical assumptions are the discount rate, the long-term expected return on assets and mortality tables. Other assumptions include salary increases and retirement age. Some of these assumptions, such as the discount rate and return on pension assets, are reflective of economic conditions and largely out of our control. Changes in the pension assumptions could adversely affect our earnings, equity and funding requirements.
A write-off of all or part of our goodwill or other intangible assets could adversely affect our operating results and net worth. Goodwill and other intangible assets are a substantial portion of our assets. At September 30, 2017, goodwill was $774 million and other intangible assets were $109 million of our total assets of $3.1 billion. Our goodwill and other intangible assets may increase in the future since our growth strategy includes acquisitions. However, we may have to write off all or part of our goodwill or other intangible assets if their value becomes impaired. Although this write-off would be a non-cash charge, it could reduce our earnings and our financial condition significantly.

Our sales and earnings may be affected if we cannot identify, acquire or integrate strategic acquisitions, or if we engage in divesting activities. Acquisitions are a key part of our growth strategy. Our historical growth has depended, and our future growth is likely to depend, in part, on our ability to successfully identify, acquire and integrate acquired businesses. We intend to continue to seek additional acquisition opportunities, both to expand into new markets and to enhance our position in existing markets throughout the world. Growth by acquisition involves risk that could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results. We may not know the potential exposure to unanticipated liabilities. Additionally, the expected benefits or synergies might not be fully realized, integrating operations and personnel may be slowed and key employees, suppliers or customers of the acquired business may depart. We may also continue to engage in divesting activities if we deem the operations as non-strategic or underperforming. Divestitures could adversely affect our profitability and, under certain circumstances, require us to record impairment charges or a loss as a result of a transaction. In pursuing acquisition opportunities, integrating acquired businesses, or divesting business operations, management's time and attention may be diverted from our core business, while consuming resources and incurring expenses for these activities.
Our operations in foreign countries expose us to currency, political and currencytrade risks and adverse changes in local legal and regulatory environments.environments could impact our results of operations. We have significant manufacturing and sales operations in foreign countries. In addition, our domestic operations sell to foreign customers. In 2017, 42% of our net sales were to customers outside of the United States. Our financial results may be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currencies and by the translation of the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries from local currencies into U.S. dollars. We expect international operations and export sales to contribute to our earnings for the foreseeable future. Both the sales from international operations and export sales are subject into varying degrees toof risks inherent in doing business outside of the United States. Such risks include the possibility of unfavorable circumstances arising from host country laws, regulations or regulations,customs including, but not limited to privacy laws protecting personal data, changes in tariff and trade barriers and import or export licensing requirements. In addition, any local or global health issue or uncertain political climates, international hostilities, natural disasters, or anyUncertainty also remains with respect to trade policies and treaties between the United States and other terrorist activities could adversely affect customer demand, our operations and our ability tocountries including China, where we both source and deliver products and serviceshave customers. Changes to tariffs or other trade restrictions may result in higher prices for new aircraft, which may negatively impact customer order volume, and restrict our customers.future orders. The potential loss of orders could negatively impact our financial results including lower sales, operating profits and cash flow. For our sales mix by country, see Note 21 - Segments, of Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this report.
Unforeseen exposure to additional income tax liabilities may affect our operating results. Our distribution

Table of taxable income is subject to domestic and, as a result of our significant manufacturing and sales presence in foreign countries, foreign tax jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate and earnings may be affected by shifts in our mix of earnings in countries with varying statutory tax rates, changes in reinvested foreign earnings, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and outcomes of any audits performed on previous tax returns. Additionally, any alterations to tax regulations or interpretations could have significant impacts on our effective tax rates and on our deferred tax assets and liabilities.Contents
Government regulations could limit our ability to sell our products outside the United States and otherwise adversely affect our business. In 2017, approximately 20% of our sales were subject to compliance with the United States export regulations. Our failure to obtain, or fully adhere to, the limitations contained in the requisite licenses, meet registration standards or comply with other government export regulations would hinder our ability to generate revenues from the sale of our products outside the United States. In addition, the U.S. Government has established, and from time to time revises, sanctions that restrict or prohibit U.S. companies and their subsidiaries from doing business with certain foreign countries, entities and individuals. The absence of comparable restrictions on competitors in other countries may adversely affect our competitive position. In order to sell our products in European Union countries, we must satisfy certain technical requirements. If we are unable to comply with those requirements, with respect to a significant quantity of our products, our sales in Europe would be restricted. Doing business internationally also subjects us to numerous U.S. and foreign laws and regulations, including regulations relating to import-export control, technology transfer restrictions, foreign corrupt practicesanti-bribery, privacy regulations and anti-boycott provisions. From time to time, we have in the past filed, and may in the future file, voluntary disclosure reports with the U.S. Department of State and the Department of Commerce regarding certain violations of U.S. export laws and regulations discovered by us in the course of our business activities, employee training or internal reviews and audits. To date, our voluntary disclosures have not resulted in a fine, penalty, or export privilege denial or restriction that has had a material adverse impact onmaterially impacted our financial condition or ability to export. Our failure, or failure by an authorized agent or representative that is attributable to us, to comply with these laws and regulations could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities. In the extreme case, these failures could result in financial penalties, suspension or debarment from government contracts or suspension of our export privileges, which could have a material adverse effect on us. For our sales mix by country, see Note 21 - Segments, of Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this report..



The failure or misuse of our products may damage our reputation, necessitate a product recall or result in claims against us that exceed our insurance coverage, thereby requiring us to pay significant damages. Defects in the design and manufacture of our products may necessitate a product recall. We include complex system designs and components in our products that could contain errors or defects, particularly when we incorporate new technologies into our products. If any of our products are defective, we could be required to redesign or recall those products, pay substantial damages or warranty claims and face actions by regulatory bodies and government authorities. Such an event could result in significant expenses, disrupt sales, affect our reputation and that of our products and cause us to withdraw from certain markets. We are also exposed to product liability claims. Many of our products are used in applications where their failure or misuse could result in significant property loss and serious personal injury or death. We carry product liability insurance consistent with industry norms. However, these insurance coverages may not be sufficient to fully cover the payment of any potential claim. A product recall or a product liability claim not covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are involved in various legal proceedings, the outcome of which may be unfavorable to us. Our business may be adversely impacted by the outcome of legal proceedings and other contingencies that cannot be predicted with certainty. We estimate loss contingencies and establish reserves based on our assessment wherewhen liability is deemed probable and reasonably estimable given the facts and circumstances known to us at a particular point in time. Subsequent developments may affect our assessment and estimates of the loss contingencies recordedrecognized as liabilities.
Future terror attacks, war, natural disasters or other catastrophic events beyond our control could negatively impact our business. Terror attacks, war or other civil disturbances, natural disasters and other catastrophic events could lead to economic instability and decreased demand for commercial products, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. From time to time, terrorist attacks worldwide have caused instability in global financial markets and the aviation industry. In 2017, 25% of our net sales were in the commercial aircraft market. Also, our facilities and suppliers are located throughout the world and could be subject to damage from fires, floods, earthquakes or other natural or man-made disasters. Although we carry third party property insurance covering these and other risks, our inability to meet customers' schedules as a result of a catastrophe may result in the loss of customers or significantly increase costs, including penalty claims under customer contracts.
Our operations are subject to environmental laws and complying with those laws may cause us to incur significant costs. Our operations and facilities are subject to numerous stringent environmental laws and regulations. Although we believe that we are in material compliance with these laws and regulations, future changes in these laws, regulations or interpretations of them, or changes in the nature of our operations may require us to make significant capital expenditures to ensure compliance. We have been, and are currently involved in, environmental remediation activities. The cost of these activities may become significant depending on the discovery of additional environmental exposures at sites that we currently own or operate, at sites that we formerly owned or operated, or at sites to which we have sent hazardous substances or wastes for treatment, recycling or disposal.

We may face reputational, regulatory or financial risks from a perceived, or an actual, failure to achieve our sustainability goals. The increased focus on sustainability practices and disclosures is rapidly evolving, as is the criteria to measure our sustainability performance; both of which could result in greater expectations and may cause us to undertake costly initiatives to satisfy the evolving criteria. As we advance our sustainable business model, we are pursuing programs that we believe will improve our environmental practices, social engagement and how we govern ourselves. We periodically publish information about our sustainability goals, standards and frameworks. Achievement of these objectives is subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our direct control, and it is possible we may fail, or be perceived to have failed, in the achievement of our sustainability goals. Also, certain customers, associates, shareholders, investors, suppliers, business partners, government agencies and non-governmental organizations may not be satisfied with our sustainability efforts. A failure or perceived failure of our sustainability goals could negatively affect our reputation and our results of operations.

GENERAL RISKS
Future terror attacks, war, natural disasters or other catastrophic events beyond our control could negatively impact our business. Terror attacks, war or other civil disturbances, natural disasters and other catastrophic events could lead to economic instability and decreased demand for commercial products, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. From time to time, terrorist attacks worldwide have caused instability in global financial markets and in the aviation industry. Also, our facilities and suppliers are located throughout the world and could be subject to damage from fires, floods, earthquakes or other natural or man-made disasters. Although we carry third party property insurance covering these and other risks, our inability to meet customers' schedules as a result of a catastrophe may result in the loss of customers or significantly increase costs, including penalty claims under customer contracts.
Our performance could suffer if we cannot maintain our culture as well as attract, retain and engage our employees. We believe our culture is our strongest asset and is the foundation of our business. Our culture focuses on trust, respect, collaboration, confidence and empowerment. Our strong culture allows us to recruit and retain top-level talent. Focusing on talent in the organization is one of our three company-wide initiatives, along with lean and innovation. We believe our employees and our experienced leadership group are competitive advantages, as the best people, over time, produce the best results. If we are unable to carry these values forward by not attracting the most talented candidates, by not retaining and engaging our global workforce including our senior management team, or by not investing in their talent and personal development, our operational and financial performances could suffer.

Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, Philippines, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Costa Rica, China, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Japan, Czech Republic, Canada, India China, Japan, Italy, Netherlands, Canada, Ireland and Luxembourg.Lithuania.
We have long-term contracts with someUnder ASC 606, 64% of our customers. These contracts are predominantly within Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls and represent 38%, 34% and 33% of our sales in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We recognize revenue on these contractswas recognized over time for the year ended October 1, 2022, using the percentage of completion, cost-to-cost method of accounting as work progresses toward completion.accounting. The remainder of our sales are recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership and title to the product are transferred to the customer, principally as units are delivered or as service obligations are satisfied. Thisover-time method of revenue recognition is predominantly used withinin Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls. We use this method for U.S. Government contracts and repair and overhaul arrangements as we are creating or enhancing assets that the customer controls. In addition, many of our large commercial contracts qualify for over-time accounting as our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
For the year ended October 1, 2022, 36% of revenue was recognized at the point in time control transferred to the customer. This method of revenue recognition is used most frequently in Industrial SystemsSystems. We use this method for commercial contracts in which the asset being created has an alternative use. We determine the point in time control transfers to the customer by weighing the five indicators provided by ASC 606. When control has transferred to the customer, profit is generated as cost of sales is recorded and Components segments, as well as with aftermarket activity.revenue is recognized.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are affected by our application of accounting policies, which are discussed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this report. We believe the accounting policies discussed below are the most critical in understanding and evaluating our financial results. These critical accounting policies have been reviewed with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
Revenue Recognition on Long-TermOver-Time Contracts
Revenue representing 38% of 2017 sales was accounted for using the percentage of completion, cost-to-cost method of accounting. This method of revenue recognition is predominantly used within the Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls segments due to the contractual nature of the business activities, with the exception of their respective aftermarket activities. The contractual arrangements are either firm fixed-price or cost-plus contracts and are with the U.S. Government or its prime subcontractors, foreign governments or commercial aircraft manufacturers, including Boeing and Airbus. The nature of the contractual arrangements includes customers’ requirements for delivery of hardware as well as funded nonrecurring development work in anticipation of follow-on production orders.
We recognize revenue onfrom contracts in the current periodwith customers using the percentagefive-step model prescribed in ASC 606. For contracts that qualify for over time treatment, we recognize revenue as control of completion,the promised goods or services is being transferred to the customer. Revenue recognized over time for the year ended October 1, 2022 was 64% of total revenue. The cost-to-cost method of accounting as work progresses toward completion as determined by the ratio of cumulative costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs at completion, multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative revenue recognized in prior periods. We believe this is an appropriate measure of progress toward satisfaction of performance obligations as this measure most accurately depicts the progress of our work and transfer of control to our customers. Changes in estimates affecting sales, costs and profits are recognized in the period in which the change becomes known using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting, resulting in the cumulative effect of changes reflected in the period. Estimatesaccounting. Revenue and cost estimates for substantially all over-time contract performance obligations are reviewed and updated quarterly for substantially all contracts. A significant change in an estimate on one or more contracts could have a material effect on our resultsquarterly. For further information, refer to Note 2 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers and Note 21 - Segments, of operations.
Occasionally, it is appropriate to combine our segment contracts. Contracts are combined in those limited circumstances when they are negotiated as a package in the same economic environment with an overall profit margin objectiveItem 8, Financial Statements and constitute, in essence, an agreement to do a single project. In such cases, we recognize revenue and costs over the performance periodSupplementary Data, of the combined contracts as if they were one. Contracts are segmented in limited circumstances if the customer has the right to accept separate elements of the contract and the total amount of the proposals on the separate components approximate the amount of the proposal on the entire project. For segmented contracts, we recognize revenue and costs as if they were separate contracts over the performance periods of the individual elements or phases.this report.
Contract costs include only allocable, allowable and reasonable costs which are included in cost of sales when incurred. For applicable U.S. Government contracts, contract costs are determined in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations and the related Cost Accounting Standards. The nature of these costs includes development engineering costs and product manufacturing costs such as direct material, direct labor, other direct costs and indirect overhead costs. Contract profit is recorded as a result of the revenue recognized less costs incurred in any reporting period. Amounts representing performance incentives, penalties, contract claims or change orders are considered in estimating revenues, costs and profits when they can be reliably estimated and realization is considered probable. Revenue recognized on contracts for unresolved claims or unapproved contract change orders was not material in 2017, 2016 or 2015.
Contract and Contract-Related Loss Reserves
At September 30, 2017,October 1, 2022, we had contract reserves of $47 million. Contract reserves are comprised of contract loss reserves, recall reserves, and contract-related reserves. Contract loss reserves of $43 million. Forare recorded for open contracts withwhere it is anticipated losses at completion, a provision for the entire amount of the estimated remaining loss is charged againstthat contract costs will be greater than contract income in the period in which the loss becomes known. Contract lossesand are determined considering all direct and indirect contract costs, exclusive of any selling, general or administrative cost allocations that are treated as period expenses. Loss reserves are more common on firm fixed-price contracts that involve, to varying degrees,In accordance with ASC 606, we calculate contract losses at the design and development of new and unique controls or control systems to meetcontract level, versus the customers’ specifications. Contract-related lossperformance obligation level. Recall reserves are recorded for thewhen additional work is needed on completed products in order for them to meet contract specifications.



Contract-related reserves are recorded for other reasons, such as delivery issues outside of the ordinary scope of the contract. For all three types of reserves, a provision for the entire amount of the loss is charged against income in the period in which the loss becomes known and can be reasonably estimated by management. For further information, refer to Note 2 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, of Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this report.
Reserves for Inventory Valuation
At September 30, 2017,October 1, 2022, we had net inventories of $489$588 million, or 30%33% of current assets. Reserves for inventory were $109$141 million, or 18%19% of gross inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost-or-marketlower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined primarily on the first-in, first-out method of valuation.
We record valuation reserves to provide for slow-moving or obsolete inventory by principally using a formula-based method that increases the valuation reserve as the inventory ages. We also take specific circumstances into consideration. We consider overall inventory levels in relation to firm customer backlog in addition to forecasted demand including aftermarket sales. Changes in these and other factors, such as low demand and technological obsolescence, could cause us to increase our reserves for inventory valuation, which would negatively impact our gross margin. As we record provisions within cost of sales to increase inventory valuation reserves, we establish a new, lower cost basis for the inventory.

Reviews for Impairment of Goodwill
At September 30, 2017,October 1, 2022, we had $774$805 million of goodwill, or 25%23% of total assets. We test goodwill for impairment for each of our reporting units at least annually, during our fourth quarter, and whenever events occur or circumstances change, such as changes in the business climate, poor indicators of operating performance or the sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. We also test goodwill for impairment when there is a change in reporting units.
We identify our reporting units by assessing whether the components of our operating segments constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of those components. We aggregate certain components based upon an evaluation of the facts and circumstances, including the nature of products and services and the extent of shared assets and resources. As a result, we have fivefour reporting units.
Companies may perform a qualitative assessment as the initial step in the annual goodwill impairment testing process for all or selected reporting units. Companies are also allowed to bypass the qualitative analysis and perform a quantitative analysis if desired. Economic uncertainties and the length of time from the calculation of a baseline fair value are factors that we consider in determining whether to perform a quantitative test.
When we evaluate the potential for goodwill impairment using a qualitative assessment, we consider factors including, but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry conditions, the competitive environment, changes in the market for our products and services, regulatory and political developments, entity specific factors such as strategy and changes in key personnel and overall financial performance. If, after completing this assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we proceed to a quantitative two-step impairment test.
Quantitative testing first requires a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. We principally use the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. The discounted cash flow method incorporates various assumptions, the most significant being projected revenue growth rates, operating margins and cash flows, the terminal growth rate and the discount rate. Management projects revenue growth rates, operating margins and cash flows based on each reporting unit's current business, expected developments and operational strategies typically over a five-year period. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and any loss must be measured.
In measuring the impairment loss, the implied fair value of goodwill is determined by assigning a fair value to all of the reporting unit's assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized intangible assets, as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination at fair value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
The determination of our assumptions is subjective and requires significant estimates.estimation. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the results of our reviews for impairment of goodwill.





For our annual test of goodwill for impairment in 2017,2022, we performed a quantitative assessment for each of our fivefour reporting units.
Annual Test
We determinedevaluated the fair valuepotential for goodwill impairment by considering macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, both current and future expected financial performance, and relevant entity-specific events for each of the reporting units. We also considered our overall market performance discretely as well as in relation to our peers. The results of our reporting units using discounted cash flows. We projected sales, operating margins and working capital requirements. We applied a 3% terminal value growth rate, whichquantitative assessment indicated that is supported by our historical growth rate, near-term projections and long-term expected market growth. We then discounted our projected cash flows using weighted-average costs of capitalmore likely than not that ranged from 10.0% to 11.0% for our various reporting units. These discount rates reflect management’s assumptions of marketplace participants’ cost of capital. Based on our tests, the fair value of each of the reporting unit exceededunits exceed its carrying amount. Therefore, we concluded thatvalue; and therefore, goodwill was not impaired.
The fair value
26

Table of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount by at least 45%. While any individual assumption could differ from those that we used, we believe the overall fair values of our reporting units are reasonable, as the values are derived from a mix of reasonable assumptions. Had we used discount rates that were 100 basis points higher or a terminal growth rate that was 100 basis points lower than those we assumed, the fair values of each of our reporting units would have continued to exceed their carrying amounts by at least 25%.Contents
We evaluate the reasonableness of the resulting fair values of our reporting units by comparing the aggregate fair value to our market capitalization and assessing the reasonableness of any resulting premium.
Reviews for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets held for use, which primarily includes finite-lived intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by their use over their expected useful lives and eventual disposition are less than their carrying value. The long-term nature of these assets requires the estimation of their cash inflows and outflows several years into the future and only takes into consideration technological advances known at the time of the impairment test. During 2017, there were no events or circumstances that indicated that the carrying valueFor further information, refer to Note 6 - Property, Plant and Equipment and Note 8 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets, of the Company's long-lived assets held for use were not recoverable.Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this report.
Pension Assumptions
We maintain various defined benefit pension plans covering employees at certain locations. PensionIn 2022, pension expense for all defined benefit plans for 2017 was $43$30 million. For further information, refer to Note 14 - Employee Benefit Plans, of Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this report. Pension obligations and the related costs are determined using actuarial valuations that involve several assumptions. The most critical assumptions are the discount rate, mortality rates and the long-term expected return on assets.assets and mortality rates. Other assumptions include salary increases and retirement age.
Beginning with the 2017 fiscal year, we have elected toWe use the spot rate approach to estimate the service and interest cost components of the net periodic benefit cost for most of our plans. Under this approach the service cost is determined by applying the discount rates along the yield curve to the specific service cost cash flows to determine the present value. The interest cost component is computed by using each assumed discount rate along the curve. Prior to 2017, we estimated these components using a single weighted-average discount rate derived from the yield curve used to measure the benefit obligation at the beginning of the period. This change provides a more precise measurement of service and interest costs and favorably impacted expense by $7 million. The discount rates used in determining expense for the U.S. Employees’ Retirement Plan, our largest plan, in 20172022 were a 4.0%3.3% for service cost discount rate and a 3.2%2.7% for interest cost, discount rate, compared to a single discount rate of 4.5%3.1% and 2.6%, respectively, in 2016. The change2021. A 50 basis point decrease in the discount rates increasedwould decrease our annual pension expense $9 million for fiscal year 2017, or a net impact of $2 million after considering the impact of the refined approach.by $1 million. The discount rates are used to state expected future cash flows at present value. Using a higher discount rate typically decreases the present value of pension obligations and decreases pension expense. We use the Aon Hewitt AA Above Median yield curve to determine the discount rate for our U.S. defined benefit plans at year end. We believe that the Aon Hewitt AA Above Median Discount Yield Curveyield curve best mirrors the yields of bonds that would be selected by management if actions were taken to settle our obligation.
Mortality rates are used to estimate the life expectancy of plan participants during which they are expected to receive benefit payments. We use a modified version of the mortality table and projection scale published by the Society of Actuaries, (SOA), which reflects improvements consistent with the Social Security Administration, as a basis for our mortality assumptions for our U.S. plans. We believe the use of this modified table and projection scale best reflects our demographics and anticipated plan outcomes.

The long-term expected return on assets assumption reflects the average rate of return expected on funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the projected benefit obligation. In determining the long-term expected return on assets assumption, we consider our current and target asset allocations. We consider the relative weighting of plan assets, the historical performance of total plan assets and individual asset classes and economic and other indicators of future performance. Asset management objectives include maintaining an adequate level of diversification to reduce interest rate and market risk and to provide adequate liquidity to meet immediate and future benefit payment requirements. In determining the 20172022 expense for our largest plan, we used a 7.50%5.0% return on assets assumption, compared to 7.75%which was the same for 2016.2021. A 25 basis point decrease in the long-term expected return on assets assumption would increase our annual pension expense by $2$1 million.

Income Taxes
Our annual tax rate is based on our earnings before tax by jurisdiction, applicable statutory tax rates, the impacts of permanent differences, tax incentives and tax planning opportunities in the various jurisdictions in which we operate.  Significant judgment is required in determining our annual tax rate and in evaluating our tax positions.
An estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to our quarterly ordinary operating results. For certain significant, unusual or infrequent events, we recognize the tax impact. The financial impacts ofimpact in the divestitures of the European space business and related tax consequences were recorded as discrete items during the first and third quarters of 2017.quarter in which it occurs.
We record reserves against tax benefits when it’s more likely than not that we will not sustain a position if the appropriate taxing jurisdiction had full information and examined our position. We adjust these reserves when facts and circumstances change, such as when progress is made by taxing authorities in their review of our position. There is a considerable amount of judgementjudgment in making these assessments. During 2017, we had two situations that had aThere were no significant impact on our results, including the timing of recognizing tax benefits. The largest benefit related to the European space businesses that we either sold during Q1 or held for sale as of the end of Q1. The other benefit was derived from our conversion of our additive manufacturing business from a corporation to an LLC.reserves taken in 2022. 
Valuation allowances associated with deferred tax assets is another area that requires judgment. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount of future tax benefit that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. We consider recent earnings projections, allowable tax carryforward periods, tax planning strategies and historical earnings performance to determine the amount of the valuation allowance. Changes in these factors could cause us to adjust our valuation allowance, which would impact our income tax expense when we determine that these factors have changed.
At September 30, 2017,October 1, 2022, we had gross deferred tax assets of $281$151 million and deferred tax asset valuation allowances of $5$9 million. The deferred tax assets principally relate to benefit accruals, inventory obsolescence, tax benefit carryforwards, contract reserves and contract loss reserves.lease liabilities. The deferred tax assets include $10$11 million related to tax benefit carryforwards associated with net operating losses and tax credits, for which $5$9 million of deferred tax asset valuation allowances are recorded.

Net sales increased in 20172022 compared to 2016 increased2021 across all of our segments, particularly in Aircraft Controls, Componentsour commercial aircraft programs and Spaceour defense programs. Also in 2022, weaker foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, the British Pound and Defense Controls, while net sales decreased in Industrial Systems. Weaker foreign currenciesthe Japanese Yen relative to the U.S. dollar, in particular the British pound, causedDollar, decreased sales to decline $19$44 million in 2017 compared to 2016. Conversely, net sales decreased in each of our segments in 2016 compared to 2015. Weaker foreign currencies, in particular the British pound and the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar, contributed $26 million of the sales decline in 2016.2021.
Gross margin decreased slightly in 20172022 compared to 2016. Negative2021. The additional costs associated with our constrained supply chain and $4 million of inventory write-down charges together offset the incremental margin from higher sales mixvolumes across all three segments.
Research and development expenses decreased in 2022 compared to 2021. Aircraft Controls drivenreduced research and development spend by lower foreign military$11 million primarily due to the redeployment of engineering activity to funded development programs. Industrial Systems also reduced research and development spend by $3 million.

Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales increased in 2022 compared to 2021. Across all of our segments, we had higher expenses to support customer interactions as we emerged from COVID-19 lockdowns, as well as lower military aftermarketincreased investments in operations.

Interest expense increased in 2022 compared to 2021 due to higher interest rates on our outstanding debt throughout the year.

In 2022, we incurred charges for asset impairments and restructuring in all of our segments as we continued our business resizing and portfolio shaping activities, primarily in the second quarter of 2022. The benefits associated with these activities have averaged, and are expected to average, $4 million per quarter. Also, the first quarter of 2022 included a $16 million gain from the sale of our NAVAIDS business, and the fourth quarter of 2022 included a $9 million gain on the sale of a building. However, these gains were offset by losses associated with two business sales reduced gross margin. Partly offsetting the decline were favorable sales mixes in Industrial Systems and in Space and Defense Controls. In addition, reduced costs fromControls in the restructuring actions takenfourth quarter of 2022, totaling $19 million.
Other in 20162021 included a $6 million pension curtailment gain associated with the termination of a foreign pension plan, which did not repeat in 2022.

We also benefited fromfavorable adjustments for tax credits associated with last year's tax return. The effective tax rate in 2021 included charges associated with the absencerevaluation of deferred tax liabilities in the $7 million correction of an out-of-period accounting adjustment in our Space and Defense Controls segment in 2015. However, the improvements were partlyU.K., mostly offset by an adverse sales mixadjustments to the previous year's provision in both Components andthe U.S.

The twelve-month backlog at October 1, 2022 increased as compared with the twelve-month backlog at October 2, 2021. The twelve-month backlog increased in Industrial Systems due to lower energyrecovering demand for our flight simulation products and industrial market sales.
Research and development expenses in 2017 decreased compared to 2016. Within Aircraft Controls, research and development expenses decreased $13 million, as development activities declined on the Embraer E-2 and the Airbus A350 programs. The reduced spend in Aircraft Controls was mostly offset by increases in research and development expenses in Components and Space and Defense Controls. Research and development expenses in 2016from orders for our new construction products. Also, backlog increased compared to 2015. Within Aircraft Controls, research and development expenses increased $16 million as we had higher activity on our major commercial OEM programs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased in 2017 compared to 2016. Withinwithin Space and Defense Controls and Components, we had higher selling activities. Partly offsetting the increases were $7 million of reduced costs from the restructuring actions taken in 2016. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased in 2016 compared to 2015. Most of the declines were due to a focus on expense reduction.
Interest expense in 2017driven by our RIwP turret program. Backlog was comparable to interest expense in 2016. In 2017, higher interest rates increased interest expense $4 million; however, lower levels of debt decreased interest expense $4 million. Interest expense in 2016 increased $3 million due to higher interest rates associated with our revolving credit facility. Additionally, interest expense increased $3 million due to higher levels of debt attributable to the funding of our share repurchase program.

In 2015 and 2016, we incurred restructuring expenses in response to business conditions. In 2015, we incurred $15 million of restructuring expenses, primarily in Space and Defense Controls, Industrial Systems and Aircraft Controls. Through 2016, the total savings were $20 million, or 95% of our original projected benefits prior to amending our workforce planning. More than half of these savings are in selling, general and administrative expenses. In the second and fourth quarters of 2016, we incurred $15 million of restructuring expenses, primarily inunchanged within Aircraft Controls, as higher commercial OEM and Industrial Systems. Through the fourth quarter of 2017, the total savingsaftermarket orders were $17 million, in line with our expected return, with approximately 40% in cost of sales and 60% in selling, general and administrative expenses.
In 2016, we recorded a $5 million goodwill impairment charge in Space and Defense Controls related to our recent additive manufacturing acquisition.
Other expense in 2017 includes $13 million of losses associated with the sale of non-core businesses in Space and Defense Controls. Other expense in 2016 includes $2 million of royalty income. Other expense in 2015 includes a $2 million asset impairment write-down in Industrial Systems, $2 million of foreign exchange currency loss and a $1 million loss on the sales of two small operations in our Components segment.
Our effective tax rates in 2017, 2016 and 2015 are lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate. In 2017, our effective tax rate includes the benefits associated with divesting non-core businesses in Space and Defense Controls and the recognition and timing of U.S. tax incentives. In 2016, our effective tax rate included the beneficial timing of the enactment of the U.S. research and development tax credit. In 2015, our effective tax rate benefited from earnings being taxed in foreign jurisdictions with lower statutory tax rates.
Average common shares outstanding decreased over the past three years due to our share buyback program. Since the Board of Directors amended the program in January 2014, we have repurchased 10 million shares. Under the current Board of Directors authorization, we have three million shares available for repurchase.
Other comprehensive income in 2017 includes $69 million of income from retirement liability adjustments and $27 million of positive foreign currency translation adjustments. Other comprehensive loss in 2016 included $54 million of losses from retirement liability adjustments and $38 million of foreign currency translation losses. Other comprehensive loss in 2015 included $82 million of foreign currency translation losses and $51 million of losses from retirement liability adjustments. In 2017 compared to 2016, the retirement liability gain was primarily due to changes in discount rates and return on assets. Also in 2017 compared to 2016, the change in foreign currency translation adjustments was primarily driven by positive impacts of the British pound and the Euro. In 2016 compared to 2015, the change in foreign currency translation adjustments was driven by positive impacts of the Euro and Canadian dollar. These positive impacts were partially offset by a decline in the British pound against the U.S. dollar.declines across various military programs.

Aircraft Controls' net sales growth was primarily driven by commercial programsincreased in 20172022 compared to 2016. In 2016 compared to 2015, Aircraft Controls' lower net sales was2021, driven primarily by military program declines, partially offset by commercial program growth. Additionallyrecoveries from the COVID-19 pandemic in 2016 compared to 2015, the British pound relative to the U.S. dollar decreased sales $10 million.
In 2017 compared to 2016,our commercial OEM and aftermarket aircraft programs.

In 2022 compared to 2021, sales increased $46$70 million in our commercial OEM programs. We benefited from higher sales volumes across our main programs, increasing sales $26 million for our business jets programs, $21 million for our Boeing programs and $5$16 million respectively. OEMfor our Airbus programs. Additionally, in 2022 compared to 2021, sales for the Airbusincreased $62 million in our commercial aftermarket programs. Higher spares volumes and repair demand, reflecting recovering flight-hour levels, increased sales a combined $30 million across our 787 and A350 programs. Also, sales increased $40an additional $18 million on our 787 aftermarket program due to the program's production ramp up. The increaseone-time, retrofit sales.

Partially offsetting these sales increases in commercial aftermarket2022 compared to 2021, was a $34 million sales was due to higher repair activity on legacy Boeing programs. In addition,decrease in our military OEM sales increased $26 million in 2017 compared to 2016. While classified military OEM development jobs increased $23 millionprograms. The timing of orders and higher production volumedelayed material receipts on the F-35 program increaseddecreased sales $29 million, lower volumes for foreign military programs decreased sales $19 million and the sales associated with our divested NAVAIDS business decreased sales $17 million. Partially offsetting these reductions were $16 million lower foreign militaryof higher sales across our helicopter programs, $5 million of Genesys sales and $4 million of increased activity on funded development programs. Additionally in 2022 compared to 2021, sales decreased $19 million. Also,$2 million for our military aftermarket sales decreased $16 million in 2017, due to lowerprograms. Lower orders for the F-18 program and supply chain constraints affecting other legacy aircraft programs was mostly offset by higher spares and repair activity for the B1-B and C-5 programs.
In 2016 compared to 2015, military OEM sales decreased $24 million and military aftermarket sales decreased $10 million. OEM sales on the V-22 program decreased $15 million and sales on the FA-18 program decreased $12 million due to lower sales volumes. These declines were partially offset by $5 million of increased sales for the F-35 program. The decline in military aftermarket sales in 2016 is largely due to work on the C-5 refurbishment program winding down, partially offset by increased activity on the F-35 aftermarket program. In 2016 compared to 2015, commercial OEM sales increased $16 million while commercial aftermarket sales decreased $5 million. Commercial OEM sales to Airbus increased $28 million driven by the A350 program, and sales for the Boeing 787 program increased $9 million. These increases were partially offset by lower sales on various business jet and other commercialF-15 programs. The commercial aftermarket sales decline was driven by lower levels of Boeing 787 initial provisioning and business jet aftermarket sales.
Operating margins in 2016 and 2015 were affected by restructuring activities. In 2015, we incurred $3 million of restructuring expenses, of which we realized $5 million of benefits in 2016. Also, in 2016, we incurred $7 million of restructuring expenses. During the successive quarters through the fourth quarter of 2017, our total savings were $7 million, and were in line with our expectations.
Operating margin increased in 20172022 compared to 2016. Research2021. Included in this increase was the $16 million gain associated with the divestiture of our NAVAIDS business. This gain was offset by $15 million of impairment and development expenses decreased $13 million due to lower development activities on the Embraer E-2 and the Airbus A350 programs. Operating margin also benefited $7 million due to the absence of last year's restructuring expense and an incremental $4 million of associated restructuring benefits. Partly offsettingexpenses, in our second quarter of 2022, as we resized our business and continued our portfolio shaping activities. The benefits from these benefitsactions have averaged, and are expected to average, $3 million per quarter. Excluding both the gain and charges, adjusted operating margin in 2022 was $1010.1%. The adjusted margin increase as compared to 2021 was driven by a favorable sales mix in commercial aftermarket, $11 million of higher additions to contract loss reserves in 2017 compared to 2016.
Operating margin increased marginally in 2016 compared to 2015. In 2016, improvements in the costs on our major commercial OEM programs and operational cost containment activities contributed to higher margin. However, offsetting the margin expansion was an increase of $16 million inreduced research and development expenses, as we hadspend and incremental margin from higher activity across allcommercial sales volumes.

The twelve-month backlog for Aircraft Controls at September 30, 2017 declined compared to October 1, 2016. Half of the decline is in military aircraft, driven primarily due to order timing on the F-35 program. The remaining reduction is due to declining production rates on legacy commercial programs. Twelve-month backlog for Aircraft Controls at October 1, 2016 declined compared to October 3, 2015. Almost half of the decline was due to the weaker British pound relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition, changes in commercial OEM order patterns, as well as work completed on military programs, reduced the level of twelve-month backlog.

Space and Defense Controls' net sales increased in 20172022 compared to 20162021, driven by continued growth within both our defense and space markets.
In 2022 compared to 2021, sales increased $68 million in our defense market. SpaceThe main driver was the production ramp on our RIwP turret program, which increased sales $69 million. Also, sales for our defense components programs increased $11 million; however, this was offset by $6 million of lower international defense vehicle sales due to continued supply chain constraints and Defense Controls' netby $5 million of lower naval system sales decreaseddue to the wind-down of development projects.
Additionally in 20162022 compared to 2015 as2021, sales declined in both our space and our defense markets.
Sales in our defense market increased $28$5 million in 2017 compared to 2016, driven by higher sales of controls for domestic and European defense vehicles, as well as higher naval sales. Additionally in our space market in 2017, higher orders formarket. Higher activity on our integrated space vehicle and advanced mission programs, and on our satellite avionics programs increased sales $24 million and controls$13 million, respectively. These increases were mostly offset by contracts continuingthe wind-down of hypersonic development activity and by lower legacy launch vehicle sales.
Operating margin decreased in 2022 compared to wind down on launch vehicles2021. Throughout 2022, we incurred $4 million of restructuring and lost salesinventory write-down charges as we continued our portfolio refinement activities and resized our business. We also incurred a $4 million loss associated with the divestituresdivestiture of a security business. In the last quarter of 2021, we incurred $3 million of similar portfolio refinement charges. Excluding these charges in both years, the adjusted operating margins were 10.9% in 2022 and 11.4% in 2021. The resulting decline in adjusted operating margin was due to additional costs associated with our constrained supply chain and due to the COVID-19 related direct labor inefficiencies we experienced in the first half of 2017.2022.

However, this decline wassales increased $5 million in our energy market. These increases were partially offset by $9$8 million of additional sales from our additive manufacturing acquisition. Sales in our defense market decreased $5 million. Within defense, sales decreased $11 million due to the unfavorable timing of orders on products for European defense vehicles and due to lower sales volumes on missile systems. Partially offsetting these declines was $6 million of higher sales for products on U.S. defense vehicles.medical devices due both to supply chain constraints and as the post COVID-19 demand surge winds-down for our medical pumps and sets.
Operating margin decreased in 20172022 compared to 2016 due primarily to $132021. Throughout 2022, we incurred $8 million of restructuring, inventory write-downs and asset impairment charges.

2023 Outlook We expect higher sales in 2023, driven by $5 million of higher researchcontinued market recoveries in commercial OEM and development expensesindustrial programs and by a $4 million charge on a satellite programinvestments in new products across our segments. However, expected weaker foreign currencies and the lost sales associated with our divestitures in 2022 will moderate our sales growth. We expect operating margin will increase due to operational improvements within all segments, combined with the absence of charges related to an engineering issue. Partly offsettingrestructuring, impairments and losses associated with the sales of businesses in 2022. Excluding these charges, we also expect adjusted operating margin pressures waswill increase. Net earnings in 2023 are expected to benefit from the incremental operating margin, which we expect to be partially offset by higher interest expenses due to the expected higher interest rates on our outstanding debt balances. We expect diluted earnings per share will range between $5.50 and $5.90, with a midpoint of $5.70.
2023 Outlook for Aircraft Controls In 2023, we anticipate sales increases across all of our commercial OEM programs as the commercial aircraft market recoveries continue and as our customers match the increasing demand with increased orders. We also anticipate a slight sales increase across our military programs as higher activity on funded development programs, the F-35 program and foreign military sales are mostly offset by lower legacy programs. We expect operating margin in 2023 will increase slightly as improved factory utilization from the higher sales volume is partially offset by the absence of 2022's favorable sales mix in our defense markets.commercial aftermarket.
Operating margins in 2015 were affected by restructuring activities. In 2015, we incurred $6 million of restructuring expenses, and we realized $6 million of cost savings in 2016. More than half of the total restructuring expense in 2015 relates to the termination of a selling and marketing contractual relationship, and did not carry the same ratio of benefits as our previous restructuring activities.
Operating margin increased in 2016 compared to 2015. The absences of the $8 million out-of-period adjustment in 2015 and the $6 million restructuring expense in 2015 contributed to the increase in operating profit. Additionally, improved sales mix, primarily in our satellite business, and cost containment activities contributed incremental operating profit. Partially offsetting the margin improvement was a $5 million goodwill impairment charge related to our recent additive manufacturing acquisition and $2 million more of additions to contract loss reserves in 2016 compared to 2015.
Twelve-month backlog2023 Outlook for Space and Defense Controls at September 30, 2017 increased slightly compared to October 1, 2016 as order growthIn 2023, we anticipate sales increases in satellite avionics, as well asour space programs from the continued higher activity for integrated space vehicles programs and for our launch vehicles, was mostly offsetvehicle programs. Excluding the impact of lost sales associated with our security business divestiture, we expect sales increases across our defense programs, primarily driven by the continued production ramp of our RIwP program and by defense controls programs completing. Thecomponents programs. We expect operating margin will increase in 2023 resulting from the incremental margin from higher level of twelve-month backlog for Space and Defense Controls at October 1, 2016 compared to October 3, 2015 was due to higher orders for defense controls and naval programs.

Industrial Systems' net sales decreased bothvolume, in 2017 compared to 2016 and in 2016 compared to 2015. Weaker foreign currencies relativeaddition to the U.S. dollar, in particular the British pound, causedabsences of charges from portfolio refinements, our business sale and our incremental costs associated with our constrained supply chain.
2023 Outlook for Industrial Systems – In 2023, we anticipate sales to decline $5 million in 2017 compared to 2016. Similarly,increases across our markets, excluding an expected negative impact from continued weaker foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollarDollar, and excluding the lost sales associated with our sonar business divestiture. The underlying organic sales growth is expected primarily in 2016 compared to 2015 caused sales to decline $11 million, caused mostlyour flight simulation products, driven by the Euro and the Brazilian real.
Sales in our industrial automation market decreased $27 million in 2017 compared to 2016 across our broad range of industrial markets. Also, sales decreased $14 million in our energy market. Within our wind energy products, sales decreased due to lost sales to a key customer in Brazil who was acquired and by lower sales from additional wind customers. Sales increased $4 million in our simulation and test market due to higher product deliveries.

Excluding the currency effects on sales in 2016 compared to 2015, sales increased $9 million in our simulation and test market due to higher sales to flight simulation customers. Also in our energy market, sales increased $6 million due to stronger wind product sales in China. Partially offsetting the increases were declines across our industrial automation products due to economic weakness in our markets resulting in lowercontinued demand for our metal forming, steel productionflight training simulators, and aftermarket products and services.
Operating margins in 2016 and 2015 were affected by restructuring activities. In 2015, we incurred $5 million of restructuring expenses, and realized $7 million in cost savings in 2016. In 2016, we incurred $5 million of restructuring expenses. During the successive quarters through the fourth quarter of 2017, our total savings were $6 million, and were in line with our expectations.
Operating margin increased marginally in 2017 compared to 2016. In 2017, the absence of the prior year's restructuring expense and incremental benefits were offset by lower sales volumes across our major markets.
Operating margin increased in 2016 compared to 2015 due to the realized restructuring benefits from the 2015 restructuring actions, additional cost containment activities and $4 million of lower research and development expenses. Partially offsetting the margin improvement was a negative sales mix due in part to lower industrial automation sales.
The increased level of twelve-month backlog in Industrial Systems at September 30, 2017 compared to October 1, 2016 is in part due to higher orders for non-renewable energy customers, as well as higher test and simulation orders. The lower level of twelve-month backlog in Industrial Systems at October 1, 2016 compared to October 3, 2015 was due to canceled wind energy orders with a key customer who was acquired, as well as the completion of simulation orders.

Components' net sales increased across all of our markets in 2017 compared to 2016. The recent acquisition of Rotary Transfer Systems increased sales $12 million. Conversely, in 2016 compared to 2015, net sales decreased across all of our Components' markets.
Sales in our medical market increased $14 milliondevice products. We expect operating margin will increase in 2017 compared to 2016 due primarily to2023 resulting from the higher sales volumes on our sets and pumps. Additionally, sales in our industrial market increased $14 million due primarily to the Rotary Transfer Systems acquisition as well as increased demand for cooling equipment. Also, sales increased $5 million in our aerospace and defense market, primarily related to higher shipments on the Guardian program as well as various space components programs.
Sales in our industrial market decreased $41 million in 2016 compared to 2015. Approximately two-thirds of the decline was in our energy market where the macro-economic conditions centered around the significant decline in the price of crude oil resulted in lower demand for our marine products. The remaining decline in our industrial market was due to unfavorable order timing. Within our aerospace and defense market, sales declined $20 million due primarily to lower demand for aftermarket products. Sales also declined $8 million in our medical market, as lower sales for our sleep apnea products were partially offset by higher sales for medical pump products.
Operating margin decreased marginally in 2017 compared to 2016. In 2017, we had $5 million of higher research and development investments. In addition, selling general and administrative expenses increased $4 million in part due to higher selling expenses in support of our medical business. Mostly offsetting these declines was an improved sales mix in our defense and medical markets.
Operating margin decreased in 2016 compared to 2015. The decreases are due, in part, to lower demand for our marine energy products resulting from the significant decline in the price of crude oil, as well as lower sales in our military markets. We also incurred $2 million of higher research and development expenses in 2016.
The twelve-month backlog at September 30, 2017 increased compared to the twelve-month backlog at October 1, 2016 due to higher orders for multiple aerospace and defense products, as well as the Rotary Transfer Systems acquisition in industrial products. The twelve-month backlog at October 1, 2016 is comparable to the level at October 3, 2015 as higher industrial orders were mostly offset by completed aerospace and defense orders.

Effective October 1, 2017, we changed our segment reporting structure to three reporting segments. Our former Components segment has been separated and merged into Space and Defense Controls and Industrial Systems. We expect this will result in one less reporting unit in 2018. The following table reflects the 2018 outlook and 2017 actuals, whose amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2018 presentation.

2018 Outlook – We expect the increase in 2018 sales to be primarily driven by higher military OEM sales for the F-35 program in Aircraft Controls. We also expect sales increases across our major markets both in Industrial as well as Space and Defense Controls. We expect 2018 operating margin will increase due to the absence of 2017's losses associated with divesting non-core businesses, as well as incremental margincharges from higher sales. However, we expect that a higher effective tax rateour portfolio refinements, impairments and business sale.

Table of 31% will partially offset the higher level of operating profit. We expect net earnings attributable to common shareholders to increase 5% in 2018 to $148 million, and diluted earnings per share will range between $3.90 and $4.30, with a midpoint of $4.10, an increase of 5% compared to 2017.Contents
2018 Outlook for Aircraft Controls We expect 2018 sales in Aircraft Controls will increase primarily due to the continued ramp ups of the F-35 program and the Airbus A350 program. Partially offsetting the increases is an expected sales decline of legacy commercial OEM programs. We expect 2018 operating margin will increase compared to 2017. We expect that research and development costs will decrease $6 million and that we will continue to realize the benefits of cost saving activities. However, we expect a negative sales mix, as sales on our mature commercial programs are replaced with sales growth on newer commercial programs.
2018 Outlook for Space and Defense Controls – We expect 2018 sales in Space and Defense Controls will increase due to sales growth from launch vehicles and satellite programs. Also within our defense market, we expect higher missile systems and security sales will offset a decline in defense controls sales. We expect 2018 operating margin will increase, as the losses associated with divesting non-core businesses do not repeat.
2018 Outlook for Industrial Systems – We expect 2018 sales in Industrial Systems to increase across all of our major markets. We expect 2018 operating margin will increase as we benefit from incremental margin on higher sales volumes.

We reinvest the cash generated from foreign operations locally and such international balances are not available to pay down debt in the U.S. unless we decide to repatriate such amounts. During 2016, we repatriated $91 million of earnings from various foreign subsidiaries and used the funds to pay down our U.S. revolving credit facility. If we determine further repatriation of foreign funds is necessary, we would then be required to pay U.S. income taxes on those funds.
Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased in 20172022 compared to 2021. In 2022, accounts receivable generated $13 million less cash than the previous year, driven in part by the 787 program, where we maintained steady production levels that were higher than the rate at which Boeing took deliveries.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND RESOURCES
We maintain bank credit facilities to fund our short and long-term capital requirements, including acquisitions. From time to time, we also sell debt and equity securities to fund acquisitions or take advantage of favorable market conditions.
Our U.S. revolving credit facility, which matures on June 28, 2021. The U.S. revolving credit facilityOctober 15, 2024, has a capacity of $1.1 billion and also provides an expansion option, which permits us to request an increase of up to $200$400 million to the credit facility upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The U.S. revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of $540$321 million at September 30, 2017.October 1, 2022. The weighted-average interest rate on primarily allthe majority of the outstanding credit facility borrowings is 2.62%was 4.16% and is principally based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which was 1.38%1.5% at September 30, 2017.October 1, 2022. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets. See Note 24 - Subsequent Events, for information related to the amended and restated U.S. revolving credit facility.
The U.S. revolving credit facility contains various covenants. The covenantminimum for minimumthe interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of EBITDA to interest expense for the most recent four quarters, is 3.0. The covenantmaximum for the maximum leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of net debt including letters of credit, to EBITDA for the most recent four quarters, is 3.5.4.0. We are in compliance with all covenants. EBITDA is defined in the loan agreement as (i) the sum of net income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, other non-cash items reducing consolidated net income and non-cash equity-based compensation expenses minus (ii) other non-cash items increasing consolidated net income.
We are generally not required to obtain the consent of lenders of the U.S. revolving credit facility before raising significant additional debt financing; however, certain limitations and conditions may apply that would require obtaining consent.consent to be obtained. In recent years, we have demonstrated our ability to secure consents to access debt markets. We have also been successful in accessing equity markets from time to time. We believe that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing as needed.

The senior notes are unsecured obligations, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain subsidiaries and contain normal incurrence-based covenants and limitations such as the ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make other restricted payments and investments, create liens and certain corporate acts such as mergers and consolidations. We are in compliance with all covenants. The effective interestaggregate net proceeds were used to repay indebtedness under our U.S. bank facility, thereby increasing the unused portion of our U.S. revolving credit facility.
On November 4, 2021, we amended and restated our Receivables Purchase Agreement, which matures on November 4, 2024, allowing the Receivables Subsidiary to sell receivables to the Purchasers in amounts up to a $100 million limit so long as certain conditions are satisfied. The receivables are sold to the Purchasers in consideration for the Purchasers making payments of cash. As of October 1, 2022, the amount sold to the Purchasers and derecognized was $100 million.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND MARKET TRENDS
We operate within the aerospace and defense and industrial markets. Our businesses are facing varying levels of supply chain and production level pressures from the residual impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our aerospace and defense marketsbusinesses represented 70% of our 2022 sales. Within the defense market, our programs are directly affected by market conditions and program funding levels, whilewhich have remained relatively stable. Our commercial aircraft market, which represented 18% of our 2022 sales, is still recovering from the initial, dramatic, reductions in air travel at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. While domestic travel has recovered, global international travel remains below pre-pandemic levels.
Within our industrial markets, which represented 30% of our 2022 sales, our programs benefited from increased order demand within industrial automation, simulation and test and energy markets. However, as customer demand increases across these markets, we are influenced by general capital investment trends and economic conditions. now experiencing supply chain pressures.
A common factor throughout our markets is the continuing demand for technologically advanced products.
Aerospace and Defense
Approximately two-thirds of our 2017 sales were generated in aerospace and defense markets. Within aerospace and defense, we serve three end markets: defense, commercial aircraft and space.
The defense market is dependent on military spending for development and production programs. We have a growing development program order book for future generation aircraft and hypersonic missiles, and we strive to embed our technologies within these high-performance military programs of the future. Aircraft production programs are typically long-term in nature, offering predictability as topredictable capacity needs and future revenues. We maintain positions on numerous high priority programs, including the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, FA-18E/F Super HornetLightning II and V-22 Osprey. The large installed base of our products leads to attractive aftermarket sales and service opportunities. The tactical and strategic missile, missile defense and defense controls markets are dependent on many of the same market conditions as military aircraft, including overall military spending and program funding levels. OurAt times when there are perceived threats to national security, and surveillance product line is dependent on government funding at federal and local levels, as well as private sector demand.
Reductions in the U.S. Department of Defense's mandatory and discretionary budgeted spending, which became effective on March 1, 2013, resulting from the Budget Control Act of 2011, has had ramifications for the domestic aerospace and defense market. As originally passed, the Budget Control Act provided that, in addition to an initial significant reduction in future domestic defense spending further automatic cuts tocan increase; at other times, defense spending authorization (which is generally referred to as sequestration) of approximately $500 billion through the Federal Government's 2021 fiscal year would be triggered by the failure of Congress to produce a deficit reduction bill. The sequestration spending cuts were intended to be uniform by category for programs, projects and activities within accounts. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 provided stability and modest growth in Department of Defense spending through 2017. However, future budgets beyond 2017 are uncertain with respect to the overallcan decrease. Future levels of defense spending. Currently, we expect approximately $730 million of U.S. defense salesspending are uncertain, subject to presidential and congressional approval, and could increase in 2018.the near-term given the current global tensions.

The commercial OEM aircraft market is dependenthas depended on a number of factors, including both the last decade's increasing global demand for air travel which generally follows underlying economic growth. As such,and increasing fuel prices. Both factors contributed to the commercial aircraft market has historically exhibited cyclical swings which tend to track the overall economy. In recent years, the development ofdemand for new, more fuel-efficient commercialaircraft with lower operating costs that led to large production backlogs for Boeing and Airbus. While domestic air transportstravel has helped drive increasedrecovered from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, international travel utilizing wide-body aircraft will take longer to fully recover. Furthermore, as companies and employees become accustomed to working remotely, business travel and the associated flight hours may not fully reach the pre-pandemic levels. As such, we believe Boeing and Airbus will continue to directionally match their wide-body aircraft production rates with the reduced, albeit recovering, air traffic volume, which has lowered their demand infor our flight control systems. We believe the commercial aircraft market, as airlines replace older, less fuel-efficient aircraft with newer models in an effortOEM market's recovery is heavily dependent on the return to reduce operating costs. pre-COVID-19 global international air traffic activity levels, and therefore will face pressures for a prolonged period of time.

The space market is comprised of four customer markets: the civil market, the U.S. Department of Defense market, the commercial aircraft productsspace market and the new space market. The civil market, namely NASA, is in large part dependentdriven by investment for commercial and exploration activities, including NASA's return to the moon. The U.S. Department of Defense market is driven by governmental-authorized levels of defense spending, including funding for hypersonic defense technologies. Levels of U.S. defense spending could increase as there is growing emphasis on new aircraft production, which is increasingspace as Boeing and Airbus work to fulfill large backlogsthe next frontier of unfilled orders.

Trends for this market, as well as for commercial launch vehicles, follow demand for increased capacity. This, in turn tends to track with underlying demand for increased consumption of telecommunication services, satellite replacementreplacements and global navigation needs. The new space market is also partially dependent ondriven by investments to increase the governmental-authorized levelsspeed and access to space through smaller satellites at reduced cost.

Industrial
Approximately one-third of our 2017 sales were generated in industrial markets. Within industrial, we serve threetwo end markets: industrial automation, energy and medical. The industrial market consists of industrial automation products, simulation and test products and energy generation and exploration products. The medical market consists of medical devices and medical components products.
The industrial automation market we serve with our industrial automation products is influenced by several factors including capital investment levels, the pace of product innovation, economic growth,conditions, cost-reduction efforts, technology upgrades and technology upgrades. We experiencethe subsequent effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As our industrial market continues to recover, ongoing supply chain constraints continue to impact our operations, as will potential future economic recessions.

Our simulation and test products operate in markets that were largely affected by the same factors and investment challenges stemming from the need to react toCOVID-19 pandemic.

Our energy generation and exploration products operate in large part sensitive to international and domestic economic conditions.
The energya market we servethat is affectedinfluenced by changing oil and natural gas prices, global urbanization and the resulting change in supply and demand for global energy and the political climate and corresponding public support for investments in renewable energy generation capacity.energy. Historically, drivers for global growth include investments in power generation infrastructure including renewable energy, and exploration in search of new oil and gas resources. However,Recently, we have seen oil prices rise above pre-pandemic levels due, in part, to global disruptions; but future energy crises could increase the significant decline in the price of crude oil has reduced investment in exploration activities. This reduced investment has directly affected our energy business. Currently, we expect approximately $34 million of oil exploration-related sales in 2018, down from approximately $100 million in 2014.market’s uncertainty.

The medical market we serve, in general, is influenced by economic conditions, regulatory environments, hospital and outpatient clinic spending on equipment, population demographics, medical advances, patient demands and the need for precision control components and systems. AdvancesWhen the COVID-19 pandemic altered the way hospitals provided care by asking non-critical patients to recuperate at home, our medical devices products saw an increase in medical technology and medical treatmentsorders. This surge in demand has waned, as our customers have had the effect of extending average life spans, in turn resulting in greater need for medical services. These same technology and treatment advances also drive increased demand from the general population as a means to improve quality of life. Access to medical insurance, whether through government funded health care plans or private insurance, also affects the demand for medical services.resized their inventory levels.
Foreign Currencies
We are affected by the movement of foreign currencies compared to the U.S. dollar, particularly in Aircraft Controls and Industrial Systems. About one-quarterone-fifth of our 20172022 sales were denominated in foreign currencies. During 2017,2022, average foreign currency rates generally weakened against the U.S. dollar compared to 2016.2021. The translation of the results of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars decreased sales by $19$44 million compared to one year ago. During 2016,2021, average foreign currency rates generally weakenedstrengthened against the U.S. dollar compared to 2015.2020. The translation of the results of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars decreased 2016increased 2021 sales by $26$34 million compared to 2015.2020.

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to interest rate risk from our long-term debt and foreign exchange rate risk related to our foreign operations and foreign currency transactions. To manage these risks, we may enter into derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. In 2017,2022, our derivative instruments consisted of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges and foreign currency contracts.
At September 30, 2017,October 1, 2022, we had $660$341 million of borrowings subject to variable interest rates. At September 30, 2017,October 1, 2022, we had interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $150 million. The interest rate swaps effectively convert this amount of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt at 2.62%, including the applicable margin of 1.38% as of September 30, 2017. The interest will revert back to variable rates based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin upon the maturity of theno outstanding interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps mature at various times through June 23, 2020. During 2017,2022, our average borrowings subject to variable interest rates after adjusting for interest rate swaps, were $521$366 million and, therefore, if interest rates had been one percentage point higher during 2017,2022, our interest expense would have been $5$4 million higher.
We also enter into forward contracts to reduce fluctuations in foreign currency cash flows related to third party purchases and revenue, intercompany product shipments and to reduce exposure on intercompany balances that are denominated in foreign currencies. We have foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of $154$138 million outstanding at September 30, 2017October 1, 2022 that mature at various times through August 30, 2019.March 1, 2024. These include notional amounts of $94$108 million outstanding where the U.S. dollar is one side of the trade. The net fair value of all of our foreign currency contracts involving the U.S. dollar was a $1$3 million net liability at September 30, 2017.October 1, 2022. A hypothetical 10 percent10% increase in the value of the U.S. dollar against all currencies would decrease the fair value of our foreign currency contracts at September 30, 2017October 1, 2022 by approximately $5$9 million, while a hypothetical 10 percent10% decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar against all currencies would increase the fair value of our foreign currency contracts at September 30, 2017October 1, 2022 by approximately $6$11 million. It is important to note that gains and losses indicated in the sensitivity analysis would often be offset by gains and losses on the underlying receivables and payables.
Although the majority of our sales, expenses and cash flows are transacted in U.S. dollars, we have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates such as the Euro and British pound and Japanese yen.pound. If average annual foreign exchange rates collectively weakened or strengthened against the U.S. dollar by 10%, our net earnings in 20172022 would have decreased or increased by $8$7 million from foreign currency translation. This sensitivity analysis assumed that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar and excludes the potential effects that changes in foreign currency exchange rates may have on actual transactions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)




Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Moog Inc. and all of our U.S. and foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fiscal Year: Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday that is closest to September 30. The consolidated financial statements include 52 weeks for the yearsyear ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 20162022, 52 weeks for the year ended October 2, 2021 and 53 weeks for the year endedOctober 3, 2015.2020.
Operating Cycle: Consistent with industry practice, aerospace and defense related inventories, unbilled recoverable costs and profits on long-termover-time contract receivables, customer advances, warranties and contract loss reserves include amounts relating to contracts having long production and procurement cycles, portions of which are not expected to be realized or settled within one year.
Foreign Currency Translation: Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries that prepare financial statements in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated using rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date and the statements of earnings are translated at the average rates of exchange for each reporting period.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenue from contracts with customers using either the percentage of completion method for contracts or as units are delivered or services are performed.
Percentage of completion method for contracts: Revenue representing 38%, 34% and 33% of 2017, 2016 and 2015 sales, respectively, was accounted for using the percentage of completion, cost-to-cost method of accounting. This method of revenue recognition is predominantly used within the Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls segments due to the contractual nature of the business activities, with the exception of their respective aftermarket activities. The contractual arrangements are either firm fixed-price or cost-plus contracts and are primarily with the U.S. Government or its prime subcontractors, foreign governments or commercial aircraft manufacturers, including Boeing and Airbus. The nature of the contractual arrangements includes customers’ requirements for delivery of hardware as well as funded nonrecurring development work in anticipation of follow-on production orders.
Revenue on contracts using the percentage of completion,an over-time, cost-to-cost method of accounting is recognized as work progresses toward completion as determined byor at the ratio of cumulative costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs at completion, multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative revenue recognizedpoint in prior periods. Changes in estimates affecting sales, costs and profits are recognized in the period in which the change becomes known using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting, resulting in the cumulative effect of changes reflected in the period. Estimates are reviewed and updated quarterly for substantially all contracts. A significant change in an estimate on one or more contracts could have a material effect on our results of operations.
Occasionally, it is appropriate to combine or segment contracts. Contracts are combined in those limited circumstances when they are negotiated as a package in the same economic environment with an overall profit margin objective and constitute, in essence, an agreement to do a single project. In such cases, revenue and costs are recognized over the performance period of the combined contracts as if they were one. Contracts are segmented in limited circumstances if the customer had the right to accept separate elements of the contract and the total amount of the proposals on the separate components approximated the amount of the proposal on the entire project. For segmented contracts, revenue and costs are recognized as if they were separate contracts over the performance periods of the individual elements or phases.

Contract costs include only allocable, allowable and reasonable costs, as determined in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations and the related Cost Accounting Standards for applicable U.S. Government contracts, and are included in cost of sales when incurred. The nature of these costs includes development engineering costs and product manufacturing costs including direct material, direct labor, other direct costs and indirect overhead costs. Contract profit is recorded as a result of the revenue recognized less costs incurred in any reporting period. Amounts representing performance incentives, penalties, contract claims or change orders are considered in estimating revenues, costs and profits when they can be reliably estimated and realization is considered probable. Revenue recognized on contracts for unresolved claims or unapproved contract change orders was not material for 2017, 2016 or 2015.
For contracts with anticipated losses at completion, a provision for the entire amount of the estimated remaining loss is charged against income in the period in which the loss becomes known. Contract losses are determined considering all direct and indirect contract costs, exclusive of any selling, general or administrative cost allocationstime that are treated as period expenses. Loss reserves are more common on firm fixed-price contracts that involve, to varying degrees, the design and development of new and unique controls or control systems to meet the customers’ specifications.
As units are delivered or services are performed: Revenue representing 62%, 66% and 67% of 2017, 2016 and 2015 sales, respectively, were recognized as units were delivered or as service obligations were satisfied. Revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership and title to the product are transferredtransfers to the customer. When engineering or similar services are performed, revenue is recognized upon completion of the obligation including any delivery of engineering drawings or technical data. This method ofFor additional discussion on revenue recognition, is predominantly used within the Industrial Systems and Components segments, as well assee Note 2 - Revenue from Contracts with aftermarket activity. Profits are recorded as costs are relieved from inventory and charged to cost of sales and as revenue is recognized. Inventory costs include all product manufacturing costs such as direct material, direct labor, other direct costs and indirect overhead cost allocations.Customers.
Shipping and Handling Costs: Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.
Research and Development: Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include salaries, benefits, consulting, material costs depreciation and depreciation.amortization.
Bid and Proposal Costs: Bid and proposal costs are expensed as incurred and classified as selling, general and administrative expenses.
Equity-Based Compensation: Our stock-basedequity-based compensation plans allow for various types of stock-basedequity-based incentive awards. The types and mix of stock-basedthese incentive awards are evaluated on an on-going basis and may vary based on our overall strategy regarding compensation. Equity-based compensation expense is based on share-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest over the requisite servicesservice periods and are based on the fair value of the award measured on the grant date. Vesting requirements vary for directors, officers and key employees. In general, awards granted to officers and key employees principally vest over three years, in equal annual installments for time-based awards and in three years cliff vest for performance-based awards. We have elected to account for forfeitures when the forfeiture of the underlying awards occur. Equity-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Earnings Per Share: Basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding are as follows:
  2017 2016 2015
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding 35,852,448
 36,277,445
 38,945,880

 251,899
 388,640
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding 36,230,043
 36,529,344
 39,334,520
Cash and Cash Equivalents: All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash: Restricted cash principally represents funds held for capital expenditures and to satisfy supplemental retirement obligations.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:Credit Losses: The allowance for doubtful accountscredit losses is based on our assessment of the collectibility of customer accounts. The allowance is determined by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of the accounts receivable, balances and current economic conditions and reasonable forecasted financial information that may affect a customer’s ability to pay.

Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost-or-marketlower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined primarily on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of valuation.
Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Plant and equipment are depreciated principally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally ranging from 15 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, 5 to 15 years for machinery and equipment and 3 to 710 years for computer equipment and software. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter.
Goodwill:We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit is likely to be below its carrying amount. We also test goodwill for impairment when there is a change in reporting units.
We may elect to perform a qualitative assessment that considers economic, industry and company-specific factors for all or selected reporting units. If, after completing this assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we proceed to a quantitative test. We may also elect to perform a quantitative test instead of a qualitative testassessment for any or all of our reporting units. We performed a qualitative test for all reporting units in 2021 and 2020.
Quantitative testing requires a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. We typically use the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. The discounted cash flow method incorporates various assumptions, the most significant being projected revenue growth rates, operating margins and cash flows, the terminal growth rate and the weighted-average cost of capital. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and any loss must be measured. To determine the amount of the impairment loss, the implied fair value of goodwill is determined by assigning a fair value to all of the reporting unit's assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized intangible assets, as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination at fair value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. We performed a quantitative test for all reporting units in 2022.
We recorded a $4,800 goodwill impairment charge in 2016 in the additive manufacturing reporting unit within our Space and Defense Controls segment. There were no goodwill impairment charges recorded in 20172022, 2021 or 2015.2020.
Acquired Intangible Assets: Acquired identifiable intangible assets are recorded at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets, including acquired identifiable intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. We use undiscounted cash flows to determine whether impairment exists and measure any impairment loss using discounted cash flows.
In 2017,2022, we recorded $1,378 of impairment charges on long-lived assets in our SpaceAircraft Controls and Defense ControlsIndustrial Systems segment. These charges relate to a write down on the value ofproperty, plant and equipment that no longer meets production requirements and is held for sale. These charges are included as other expenseexperienced a significant decline in value due to the consolidated statementslower than expected recovery of earnings.

These charges primarily related toon intangible assets as a result of restructuring actions taken forassociated with a product line we are no longer pursuing. These charges are included in restructuringasset impairment in the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of earnings.Earnings.
In 2015,2021, we recorded $2,432 of impairment charges on long-lived assets in our Industrial SystemsSpace and Defense Controls segment. These charges relate to property, plant and equipment and intangibles assets that experienced a decline in value. These charges are included in asset impairment in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
In 2020, we recorded impairment charges on long-lived assets primarily relatedin our Aircraft Controls and Industrial Systems segments. These charges relate to property, plant and equipment, right-of-use-assets and intangible assets from a wind energy product line andthat experienced significant decline in value due to economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. These charges are included as other expense. We also recorded an additional $472in asset impairment charge related to intangible assets on the product line we decided to exit in 2014, included as restructuring in the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of earnings.Earnings.

See Note 4 - Receivables, Note 5 - Inventories, Note 6 - Property, Plant and Equipment, Note 7 - Leases, Note 8 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets and Note 12 - Fair Value for additional disclosures relating to impairment charges recorded.





Product Warranties: In the ordinary course of business, we warrant our products against defect in design, materials and workmanship typically over periods ranging from twelve to sixty months. We determine warranty reserves needed by product line based on historical experience and current facts and circumstances. Activity in the warranty accrual is summarized as follows:
  2017 2016 2015

Financial Instruments: Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, notes payable, accounts payable, long-term debt, interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts. The carrying values for our financial instruments approximate fair value with the exception at times of long-term debt. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.


We carry derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheetsConsolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, determined by reference to quoted market prices. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, if so, the reason for holding it. Our use of derivative instruments is generally limited to cash flow hedges of certain interest rate risks and minimizing foreign currency exposure on foreign currency transactions, which are typically designated in hedging relationships, and intercompany balances, which are not designated as hedging instruments. Cash flows resulting from forward contracts are accounted for as hedges of identifiable transactions or events and classified in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged.

Reclassifications:Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year's presentation. Referpresentation, which management does not consider to the following table for a summary of ASUs we adopted during 2017 and the related financial statement impact. The Consolidated Balance Sheets and Indebtedness, Employee Benefit Plans, Income Taxes and Segment footnotes have been restated to reflect these changes.be material.

Note 2 - AcquisitionsRevenue from Contracts with Customers

We recognize revenue from contracts with customers using the five-step model prescribed in ASC 606. The first step is identifying the contract. The identification of a contract with a customer requires an assessment of each party’s rights and Divestituresobligations regarding the products or services to be transferred, including an evaluation of termination clauses and presently enforceable rights and obligations. Each party’s rights and obligations and the associated terms and conditions are typically determined in purchase orders. For sales that are governed by master supply agreements under which provisions define specific program requirements, purchase orders are issued under these agreements to reflect presently enforceable rights and obligations for the units of products and services being purchased.
In 2017,
Contracts are sometimes modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. When this occurs, we sold non-core businessesassess the modification as prescribed in ASC 606 and determine whether the existing contract needs to be modified (and revenue cumulatively caught up), whether the existing contract needs to be terminated and a new contract needs to be created, or whether the existing contract remains and a new contract needs to be created. This is determined based on the rights and obligations within the modification as well as the associated transaction price.

The next step is identifying the performance obligations. A performance obligation is a promise to transfer goods or services to a customer that is distinct in the context of the contract, as defined by ASC 606. We identify a performance obligation for each promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. As part of our assessment, we consider all goods and/or services promised in the contract, regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. The products and services in our contracts are typically not distinct from one another due to their complexity and reliance on each other or, in many cases, we provide a significant integration service. Accordingly, many of our contracts are accounted for as one performance obligation. In limited cases, our contracts have more than one distinct performance obligation, which occurs when we perform activities that are not highly complex or interrelated or involve different product life cycles. Warranties are provided on certain contracts, but do not typically provide for services beyond standard assurances and are therefore not distinct performance obligations under ASC 606.

The third step is determining the transaction price, which represents the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to receive from a customer in exchange for providing the goods or services. There are times when this consideration is variable, for example a volume discount, and must be estimated. Sales, use, value-added, and excise taxes are excluded from the transaction price, where applicable.

The fourth step is allocating the transaction price. The transaction price must be allocated to the performance obligations identified in the contract based on relative stand-alone selling prices when available, or an estimate for each distinct good or service in the contract when standalone prices are not available. Our contracts with customers generally require payment under normal commercial terms after delivery. Payment terms are typically within 30 to 60 days of delivery. The timing of satisfaction of our performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment.

The final step is the recognition of revenue. We recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied. ASC 606 provides guidance to help determine if we are satisfying the performance obligation at a point in time or over time. In determining when performance obligations are satisfied, we consider factors such as contract terms, payment terms and whether there is an alternative use of the product or service. In essence, we recognize revenue when or as control of the promised goods or services transfer to the customer.

Revenue is recognized either over time using the cost-to-cost method, or point in time method. The over-time method of revenue recognition is predominantly used in Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls segment.Controls. We use this method for U.S. Government contracts and repair and overhaul arrangements as we are creating or enhancing assets that the customer controls as the assets are being created or enhanced. In addition, many of our large commercial contracts qualify for over-time accounting as our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Our over-time contracts are primarily firm fixed price.

Revenue recognized at the point in time control is transferred to the customer is used most frequently in Industrial Systems. We use this method for commercial contracts in which the asset being created has an alternative use. We determine the point in time control transfers to the customer by weighing the five indicators provided by ASC 606 - the entity has a present right to payment; the customer has legal title; the customer has physical possession; the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership; and the customer has accepted the asset. When control has transferred to the customer, profit is generated as cost of sales is recorded and as revenue is recognized. Inventory costs include all product manufacturing costs such as direct material, direct labor, other direct costs and indirect overhead cost allocations. Shipping and handling costs are considered costs to fulfill a contract and not considered performance obligations. They are included in cost of sales as incurred.

Revenue is recognized on contracts using the cost-to-cost method of accounting as work progresses toward completion as determined by the ratio of cumulative costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs at completion, multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative revenue recognized in prior periods. We believe that cumulative costs incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total contract costs at completion is an appropriate measure of progress toward satisfaction of performance obligations as this measure most accurately depicts the progress of our work and transfer of control to our customers. Changes in estimates affecting sales, costs and profits are recognized in the period in which the change becomes known using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting, resulting in the cumulative effect of changes reflected in the period. Estimates are reviewed and updated quarterly for substantially all contracts. In 2022, we recognized lower revenues of $3,518 for adjustments made to performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods. In 2021, we recognized revenues of $11,167 for adjustments made to performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods. In 2020, we recognized revenues of $15,785 for adjustments made to performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods.

Contract costs include only allocable, allowable and reasonable costs which are included in cost of sales when incurred. For applicable U.S. Government contracts, contract costs are determined in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations and the related Cost Accounting Standards. The nature of these costs includes development engineering costs and product manufacturing costs such as direct material, direct labor, other direct costs and indirect overhead costs. Contract profit is recorded as a result of the revenue recognized less costs incurred in any reporting period. Variable consideration and contract modifications, such as performance incentives, penalties, contract claims or change orders are considered in estimating revenues, costs and profits when they can be reliably estimated and realization is considered probable. As of October 1, 2022, revenue recognized on contracts for unresolved claims or unapproved contract change orders was not material.

As of October 1, 2022, we had contract reserves of $46,547. For contracts with anticipated losses at completion, a provision for the entire amount of the estimated remaining loss is charged against income in the period in which the loss becomes known. Contract losses are determined considering all direct and indirect contract costs, exclusive of any selling, general or administrative cost allocations that are treated as period expenses. Loss reserves are more common on firm fixed-price contracts that involve, to varying degrees, the design and development of new and unique controls or control systems to meet the customers’ specifications. In accordance with ASC 606, we calculate contract losses at the contract level, versus the performance obligation level. Recall reserves are recorded when additional work is needed on completed products for them to meet contract specifications. Contract-related loss reserves are recorded for the additional work needed on completed and delivered products in order for them to meet contract specifications.

Contract Assets and Liabilities
Unbilled receivables (contract assets) primarily represent revenues recognized for performance obligations that have been satisfied but for which amounts have not been billed. These are included as Receivables on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract advances (contract liabilities) relate to payments received from customers in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations for a contract. We do not consider contract advances to be significant financing components as the intent of these payments in advance are for reasons other expensethan providing a significant financing benefit and are customary in our industry.
Total contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows:

Contract advances296,899 263,686 
Net contract assets$317,861 $283,078 

The increase in contract assets reflects the net impact of $13,191additional unbilled revenues recorded in excess of revenue recognized during the period. The increase in contract liabilities reflects the net impact of additional deferred revenues recorded in excess of revenue recognized during the period. As of October 1, 2022, we recognized $180,789 of revenue that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.

Remaining Performance Obligations
As of October 1, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) was $5,200,000. We expect to recognize approximately 44% of that amount as sales over the next twelve months and considerationthe balance thereafter.

Note 7 - Leases

We lease certain manufacturing facilities, office space and machinery and equipment globally. At inception we evaluate whether a contractual arrangement contains a lease. Specifically, we consider whether we control the underlying asset and have the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits or outputs from the asset. If the contractual arrangement contains a lease, we then determine the classification of the lease, operating or finance, using the classification criteria described in ASC 842. We then determine the term of the lease based on terms and conditions of the contractual arrangement, including whether the options to extend or terminate the lease are reasonably certain to be exercised. We have elected to not separate lease components from non-lease components, such as common area maintenance charges and instead, account for the lease and non-lease components as a single component.

Our lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and our lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. Operating lease ROU assets are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance lease ROU assets are included in Property, plant and equipment and finance lease liabilities are included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease cost is included in Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Finance lease cost is included in Cost of sales, Selling, general and administrative and Interest on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

The ROU assets and lease liabilities for both operating and finance leases are recognized as of the commencement date at the net present value of the fixed minimum lease payments over the term of the lease, using the discount rate described below. Variable lease payments are recorded in the period in which the obligation for the payment is incurred. Variable lease payments based on an index or rate are initially measured using the index or rate as of the commencement date of the lease and included in the fixed minimum lease payments. For short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less as of the commencement date, we do not recognize a ROU asset or lease liability on our balance sheet; we recognize expense as the lease payments are made over the lease term.

The discount rate used to calculate the present value of our leases is the rate implicit in the lease. If the information necessary to determine the rate implicit in the lease is not available, we use our incremental borrowing rate for collateralized debt, which is determined using our credit rating and other information available as of the lease commencement date.

In 2022, we recorded $2,125 in impairment charges on long-lived assets in our Industrial Systems segment. These charges relate to intangibles assets associated with a product line we are no longer pursuing. In 2021, we recorded $1,144 in impairment charges on long-lived assets in our Space and Defense Controls segment, relating to intangibles assets that experienced a decline in value. In 2020, we recorded a $8,723 write down of intangible assets in our Aircraft Controls and Industrial Systems segments based on expected cash flows over the remaining life of the assets in relation to the impairment charges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. These charges are included in asset impairment in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Our U.S. revolving credit facility, which matures on June 28, 2021. Our U.S. revolving credit facilityOctober 15, 2024, has a capacity of $1,100,000 and provides an expansion option, which permits us to request an increase of up to $200,000$400,000 to the credit facility upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets. The loan agreement contains various covenants which, among others, specify interest coverage and maximum leverage and capital expenditures.leverage. We are in compliance with all covenants. The weighted-average interest rate on primarily allthe majority of the outstanding credit facility borrowings is 2.62%4.16% and is principally based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which was 1.38%1.50% at September 30, 2017.October 1, 2022. See Note 24 - Subsequent Events, for information related to the amended and restated U.S. revolving credit facility.
The SECT has a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $35,000, maturing on July 26, 2024. Interest is based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.13%. A commitment fee is also charged based on a percentage of the unused amounts available and is not material.
At September 30, 2017,October 1, 2022, we had $300,000$500,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.25%4.25% senior notes due December 1, 202215, 2027 with interest paid semiannually on June 115 and December 115 of each year.year, which commenced on June 15, 2020. The senior notes are unsecured obligations, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain subsidiaries and contain normal incurrence-based covenants and limitations such as the ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make other restricted payments and investments, create liens and certain corporate acts such as mergers and consolidations. We are in compliance with all covenants. The aggregate net proceeds of $491,769 were used to repay indebtedness under our U.S. revolving credit facility, thereby increasing the unused portion of our U.S. revolving credit facility. The effective interest rate for these notes after considering the amortization of deferred debt issuance costs is 5.73%4.60%.
The Securitization Program, was extended on October 23, 2017 and now matures on October 23, 2019. The Securitization Program will now effectively increaseincreasing our borrowing capacity by up to $130,000.$80,000, was extended on October 29, 2021 and matured on December 29, 2021. Under the Securitization Program, we sellsold certain trade receivables and related rights to an affiliate, which in turn sellssold an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the trade receivables to a financial institution, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. Interest for the Securitization Program is 2.11% at September 30, 2017 and iswas based on 30-day LIBOR plus an applicable margin. A commitment fee iswas also charged based on a percentage of the unused amounts available and iswas not material. The agreement governing the Securitization Program containscontained restrictions and covenants which includeincluded limitations on the making of certain restricted payments, creation of certain liens, and certain corporate acts such as mergers, consolidations and sale of substantially all assets. The Securitization Program hashad a minimum borrowing requirement equal to the lesser of either 80% of our borrowing capacity or 100% of our borrowing base, which iswas a subset of the trade receivables sold under this agreement. AsSee Note 4 - Receivables, for information related to the amended and restated RPA, which replaced the Securitization Program.

Note 811 - Derivative Financial Instruments
We principally use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk associated with long-term debt and foreign exchange risk related to foreign operations and foreign currency transactions.transactions and interest rate risk associated with long-term debt. We enter into derivative financial instruments with a number of major financial institutions to minimize counterparty credit risk.
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments
We use foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges to effectively fix the exchange rates on future payments and revenue. To mitigate exposure in movements between various currencies, including the Philippine peso and the British pound, we had outstanding foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of $31,740 at October 1, 2022. These contracts mature at various times through March 1, 2024.
We use forward currency contracts to hedge our net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. As of October 1, 2022, we had no outstanding net investment hedges.
Interest rate swaps are used to adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable and fixed interest rates. The interest rate swaps are designated as hedges of the amount of future cash flows related to interest payments on variable-rate debt that, in combination with the interest payments on the debt, convert a portion of the variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. At September 30, 2017,October 1, 2022, we had no outstanding interest rate swaps.
Foreign currency contracts, net investment hedges and interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $150,000. The interest rate swaps effectively convert this amount of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt at 2.62%, including the applicable margin of 1.38% as of September 30, 2017. The interest will revert back to variable rates based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin upon the maturity of the interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps mature at various times through June 23, 2020.
We use foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges to effectively fix the exchange rates on future payments and revenue. To mitigate exposure in movements between various currencies, including the Philippine peso and the British pound, we had outstanding foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of $48,955 at September 30, 2017. These contracts mature at various times through August 30, 2019.
These interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts are recorded onin the consolidated balance sheetConsolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and the related gains or losses are deferred in shareholders’ equityShareholders’ Equity as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCIL)("AOCIL"). These deferred gains and losses are reclassified into the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of earningsEarnings, as necessary, during the periods in which the related payments or receipts affect earnings. However, to the extent the foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts are not perfectly effective in offsetting the change in the value of the payments and revenue being hedged, the ineffective portion of these contracts is recognized in earnings immediately. Ineffectiveness was not material in 2017, 20162022, 2021 or 2015.2020.
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
We also have foreign currency exposure on balances, primarily intercompany, that are denominated in a foreign currency and are adjusted to current values using period-end exchange rates. The resulting gains or losses are recorded in the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of earnings.Earnings. To minimize foreign currency exposure, we have foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of $104,796$106,219 at September 30, 2017.October 1, 2022.

Note 912 - Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. The definition of the fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.
Level 3 – Inputs for which significant valuation assumptions are unobservable in a market and therefore value is based on the best available data, some of which is internally developed and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.
Our derivatives are valued using various pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses that incorporate observable market data, such as interest rate yield curves and currency rates, and are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
The following table presents the fair values and classification of our financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, all of which are classified as Level 2:

Note 1013 - Restructuring
In 2016,2022, we initiated restructuring actions in conjunction with exiting a product line withinrelation to portfolio shaping activities in our Space and Defense and Industrial Systems segments and for slower than expected commercial aircraft business recovery in our Aircraft Controls in the U.S. and a facility in the U.K. We also took actions as a result of the business outlook in specific markets and locations in Components and Industrial Systems. Thosesegment. These actions have resultedand will result in workforce reductions, principally in Canada,the U.S., China, Europe and the U.S. for ComponentsU.K.. The 2022 restructuring charge consists of non-cash charges related to an inventory write-down of $1,692 and primarily Europe for Industrial Systems.equipment of $538 as well as severance and other costs of $8,971.
In 2015,2020, we initiated additional restructuring plans as a result of ongoing reviews of our lines of business and operations. The restructuring actions takenin relation to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The actions resulted in workforce reductions, primarily in the U.S.,Philippines, Europe and Asia.the U.S. We have recorded a total of $10,466 for severance.
The restructuring charge in 2016 consists of $9,117 for severance, $4,913 of non-cash charges for the impairment of long-lived assets in our Aircraft Controls segment and $1,363 for facility closure. The restructuring charge in 2015 principally relates to severance, but also includes $3,773 related to the termination of a sales and marketing contract and $472 for the impairment of long-lived assets in our Industrial Systems segment.
Restructuring activity for severance and other costs by segment and reconciliation to consolidated amounts is as follows:

Note 1114 - Employee Benefit Plans
We maintain multiple employee benefit plans, covering employees at certain locations.
Our qualified U.S. defined benefit pension plan is not open to new entrants. New employees are not eligible to participate in the pension plan. Instead, we make contributions for those employees to an employee-directed investment fund in the Moog Inc. Retirement Savings Plan ("RSP"), which consists of two defined contribution options, the RSP and the RSP(+). Effective January 1, 2020, all employees hired prior to January 1, 2019 are eligible to either participate in the new RSP(+) or remain in the existing RSP. All employees hired after January 1, 2019 are automatically enrolled in the new RSP(+). The Company’s contributionscontributions to both the RSP and RSP(+) are based on a percentage of the employee’s eligible compensation and age. These contributionsage and are in addition to the employer match on voluntary employee contributions. The Company's contributions and the employer match were both enhanced under the new RSP(+).
The RSP and RSP(+) includes an Employee Stock Ownership Plan.employee stock ownership feature. As one of the investment alternatives, participants in the RSP and RSP(+) can acquire our stock at market value. We match 25% of the first 2% of eligible compensation contributed to any investment selection. Shares are allocated and compensation expense is recognized as the employer share match is earned. At September 30, 2017,October 1, 2022, the participants in the RSP and RSP(+) owned 1,575,3471,735,412 Class B shares.
Expense for all defined contribution plans consists of:
202220212020
U.S. defined contribution plans$43,550 $36,131 $27,698 
Non-U.S. defined contribution plans8,157 8,890 5,965 
Total expense for defined contribution plans$51,707 $45,021 $33,663 
As of January 1, 2021, one of our non-U.S. defined benefit plans was replaced by a defined contribution plan. The transaction eliminated balance sheet exposure for the plan, reducing the projected benefit obligation by $63,333, the fair value of plan assets by $57,643 and resulted in a curtailment gain of $5,830.

Beginning in 2017, we changed the method used to estimate the service and interest cost components of net periodic pension cost. The new method uses the spot yield curve approach to estimate the service and interest costs by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used to determine the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash outflows. Previously, these cost components were determined using a single-weighted average discount rate. This change does not affect the measurement of the projected benefit obligation.
We have made this change to provide a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by improving the correlation between projected benefit cash flows to the corresponding spot yield curve rates. We have accounted for this change as a change in accounting estimate and accordingly have accounted for it prospectively.  The more granular application of the spot rates reduced the service and interest cost for the annual net periodic pension expense in 2017 by approximately $7,000.

Pension plan investment policies and strategies are developed on a plan specific basis, which varies by country. The overall objective for the long-term expected return on both domestic and international plan assets is to earn a rate of return over time to meet anticipated benefit payments in accordance with plan provisions. The long-term investment objective of both the domestic and international retirement plans is to maintain the economic value of plan assets and future contributions by producing positive rates of investment return after subtracting inflation, benefit payments and expenses. Each of the plan’s strategic asset allocations is based on this long-term perspective and short-term fluctuations are viewed with appropriate perspective.
The U.S. qualified defined benefit plan’s assets are invested for long-term investment results. To accommodate the long-term investment horizon while providing appropriate liquidity, the plan maintains a liquid cash reserve sufficient to allow the plan to meet its benefit payment, fee and expense obligations. Its assets are broadly diversified to help alleviate the risk of adverse returns in any one security or investment class. The international plans’ assets are invested in both low-risk and high-risk investments in order to achieve the long-term investment strategy objective. Investment risks for both domestic and international plans are considered within the context of the entire asset allocation, rather than on a security-by-security basis.
The U.S. qualified defined benefit plan and certain international plans have investment committees that are responsible for formulating investment policies, developing manager guidelines and objectives and approving and managing qualified advisors and investment managers. The guidelines established for each of the plans define permitted investments within each asset class and apply certain restrictions such as limits on concentrated holdings in order to meet overall investment objectives.

Pension obligations and the related costs are determined using actuarial valuations that involve several assumptions. The return on assets assumption reflects the average rate of return expected on funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the projected benefit obligation. In determining the return on assets assumption, we consider the relative weighting of plan assets, the historical performance of total plan assets and individual asset classes and economic and other indicators of future performance. Asset management objectives include maintaining an adequate level of diversification to reduce interest rate and market risk and to provide adequate liquidity to meet immediate and future benefit payment requirements.
In determining our U.S. pension expense for 2017,2022, we assumed an average rate of return on U.S. pension assets of approximately 7.5%approximately 5.0% measured over a planning horizon with reasonable and acceptable levels of risk. The rate of return assumed an averagewas based on the actual asset allocation of 55%35% in equity securities and 45% in65% in fixed income securities.securities at October 2, 2021. In determining our non-U.S. pension expense for 2017,2022, we assumed an average rate of return on non-U.S. pension assets of approximately 3.6%2.9% measured over a planning horizon with reasonable and acceptable levels of risk. The rate of return assumed an average asset allocation of 30% in equity securities and 70% in fixed income securities.securities and other investments.

The valuation methodologies used for pension plan assets measured at fair value have been applied consistently.
Cash and cash equivalents: Direct cash holdings valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
Money market funds: Institutional short-term investment vehicles valued daily.

Shares of registered investment companies: Consists of both equity and fixed income mutual funds. Valued at quoted market prices that represent the net asset value ("NAV") of shares held by the plan at year end.


Fixed income securities: Valued using methods, such as dealer quotes, available trade information, spreads, bids and offers provided by a pricing vendor.

Equity securities: Traded on national exchanges are valued at the last reported sales price. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the last reported exchange rate.


EmployerFixed income securities: Valued using methods, such as dealer quotes, available trade information, spreads, bids and offers provided by a pricing vendor.

Money market funds: Institutional short-term investment vehicles valued daily.

Cash and cash equivalents: Direct cash holdings valued at cost (Level 1) or cash collateral for the closing price reportedinitial margin requirements on the New York Stock Exchange.

Interest in common collective trusts: The net asset value is used as a practical expedient to estimatefutures contracts (Level 2) which approximates fair value. This practical expedient would not be used if it

Collective investment trust: NAV of the fund is determined to be probable that the common collective trust will sellcalculated daily or weekly by the investment for an amount different frommanager.

Unit linked life insurance funds: NAV value of the reported NAV.fund is calculated daily by the investment manager.


Investment in insurance contracts: Valued at contract value, which is the fair value of the underlying investment of the insurance company.
Limited partnerships and hedge funds: Valued at net asset valueNAV of units held. The NAV is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. The NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the fund less its liability. This practical expedient is not used when it is determined to be probable that the fund will sell the investment for an amount different from the reported NAV.





Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations do not represent the value at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established under the supervision and responsibility of the Trustee of that investment. Such procedures may include the use of independent pricing services or affiliated advisor pricing, which use prices based upon yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, operating data and general market conditions.

(1) Per adoption of ASU 2015-07, certainCertain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset valueNAV per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the total retirement plan assets.

Investments in limited partnerships held by us invest primarily in emerging markets, equity and equity related securities. The strategy for the partnerships is to have exposure to certain markets or to securities that are judged to achieve superior earnings growth and/or judged undervalued relative to intrinsic value.

The preceding methods may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although we believe the valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

As of the measurement date, the assumed discount rate used in the accounting for the postretirement benefit obligation was 3.6%5.2% in 2017, 3.2%2022, 2.5% in 20162021 and 3.9%2.3% in 2015.2020. The assumed service cost discount rate and interest cost discount rate used in the accounting for the net periodic postretirement benefit cost were 3.4%2.7% and 1.5%, respectively in 2022, 2.5% and 1.4%, respectively in 2021 and 3.1% and 2.5%, respectively in 2017. The assumed discount rate used in the accounting for the net periodic postretirement benefit cost was 3.9% in 2016 and 4.5% in 2015.2020.
For measurement purposes, a 6.6%7.5% annual per capita rate of increase of medical and drug costs were assumed for 2018,2023, gradually decreasing to 4.5% for 20282035 and years thereafter. A one percentage point increase in this rate would increase our accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of the measurement date in 2017 by $195, while a one percentage point decrease in this rate would decrease our accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $185. There would be no material effect on the total service cost and interest cost components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost given a one percentage point increase or decrease in this rate.
Employee and management profit sharing reflects a discretionary payment based on our financial performance. Profit share expense was $26,534, $16,656$32,993, $34,257 and $13,188$21,968 in 2017, 20162022, 2021 and 2015,2020, respectively.

At September 30, 2017, foreignOur accounting policy is to treat tax on the Global Intangible Low-Tax Income ("GILTI") as a current period cost included in tax expenses the year incurred. As such, we don't measure the impact of the GILTI in our determination of deferred taxes.In 2022, we recorded $443 of GILTI tax and received a benefit of $646 related to the Foreign-Derived Intangible Income deduction. In 2022, we also recorded a tax benefit carryforwardsfor provision to return adjustments of $4,871 primarily related to domestic research and development tax credits. In addition, we recorded a current year expense of $1,700 for a total $15,300. Domestic benefit carryforwards representing state tax losses total $15,856. We also have $3,388accrual of state tax credit carryforwards. Some of these tax benefit carryforwards do$9,283 for taxes on undistributed earnings not expireconsidered permanently reinvested.
During 2022, 2021 and can be used to reduce current taxes otherwise due on future earnings of those subsidiaries. The change in the valuation allowance relates to tax benefit carryforwards reflecting recent and projected financial performance, tax planning strategies and statutory tax carryforward periods.
During 2016,2020, we repatriated $90,937 of earningsavailable unremitted earnings from various foreign subsidiaries that were previously taxed under the Tax Act of $37,986, $41,987 and$23,001, respectively. We no longer indefinitely reinvest unremitted earnings and therefore we record a liability related to the tax expense was completely offsetremaining unremitted earnings generated by the foreign tax credits.
No provision has been made for U.S. federal or foreign taxes on that portion of certain foreign subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings ($923,602 at September 30, 2017) consideredsubsidiaries in the current year. We continue to be permanently reinvested. It is not practicableinvested in outside basis differences other than the unremitted earnings as we have no plans to determine the amount of tax that would be payable if these amounts were repatriated to the U.S.liquidate or sell those foreign subsidiaries.

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent, in part, upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies, carryback opportunities and reversal of existing deferred tax liabilities in making its assessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets.

Class A shareholders are entitled, subject to certain limitations, to elect at least 25% of the Board of Directors (rounded up to the nearest whole number) with Class B shareholders entitled to elect the balance of the directors. No cash dividend may be paid on Class B shares unless at least an equal cash dividend is paid on Class A shares. Class B shares are convertible at any time into Class A shares on a one-for-one basis at the option of the shareholder. The number of common shares issued reflects conversion of Class B to Class A of 37,485 in 2017, 28,183 in 2016 and 11,087 in 2015.

Note 1418 - Equity-Based Compensation
We have equity-based compensation plans that authorize the issuance of equity-based awards for shares of Class A and Class B common stock to directors, officers and key employees. Equity-based compensation grants are designed to reward long-term contributions to Moog and provide incentives for recipients to remain with Moog.
On February 15, 2017, shareholders approved theWe have an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). The ESPP that allows for qualified employees (as defined in the plan) to purchase our common stock at a discounted price. The maximum discounted purchase price of a share of our common stock is equal to 85% of the fair market value at the lower of the beginning or the end of the semi-annual offering period.
On January 7, 2015, shareholders approved theThe 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan ("2014 Plan"). The 2014 Plan authorizes the issuance of a total of 2,000,000 shares of either Class A or Class B common stock. The 2014 Plan is intended to provide a flexible framework that permits the development and implementation of a variety of stock-basedequity-based programs that base awards on key performance metrics as well as align our long term incentive compensation with our peers and shareholder interests.
During 2017,2022, we granted awards in the form of stock appreciations rights (SARs)("SARs"), performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs)("PSUs"), time vested restricted stock units ("TVAs") and restricted stock awards (RSAs)("RSAs").

In 2017 we adopted ASU no. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, and as a result we derive a tax deduction measured by the excess of the market value over the grant price on the date stock-based awards are exercised. The tax benefit from award exercises was $2,222 for 2017 and was recognized as a discrete tax benefit through a reduction of income tax expense. Previously these benefits were recognized as additional paid-in capital and are included in the consolidated statements of cash flows as a financing activity.

The fair value of SARs granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following table provides the range of assumptions used to value awards and the weighted-average fair value of the awards granted.

Expected term5-6 years5-6 years5-6 years
Weighted-average fair value of awards granted$27.86 $23.11 $21.45 
To determine expected volatility, we generally use historical volatility based on daily closing prices of our Class A and Class B common stock over periods that correlate with the expected terms of the awards granted. The risk-free rate is based on the United States Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for the appropriate expected term of the awards granted. Expected dividends are based on our history and expectation of dividend payouts. The expected term of equity-based awards is based on vesting schedules, expected exercise patterns and contractual terms.




The number of shares received upon the exercise of a SAR is equal in value to the difference between the fair market value of the common stock on the exercise date and the exercise price of the SAR. The term of a SAR may not exceed ten years from the grant date. Options outstanding as of September 30, 2017 consisted of both incentive options and non-qualified options. Options become exercisable over periods not exceeding ten years. The exercise price of SARs and options, determined by a committee of the Board of Directors, may not be less than the fair value of the common stock on the grant date.

Note 1823 - Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings. We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings which management believes will result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
We are engaged in administrative proceedings with governmental agencies and legal proceedings with governmental agencies and other third parties in the normal course of our business, including litigation under Superfund laws, regarding environmental matters. We believe that adequate reserves have been established for our share of the estimated cost for all currently pending environmental administrative or legal proceedings and do not expect that these environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In the ordinary course of business we could be subject to ongoing claims or disputes from our customers, the ultimate settlement of which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations. While the receivables and any loss provisions recorded to date reflect management's best estimate of the projected costs to complete a given project, there is still significant effort required to complete the ultimate deliverable. Future variability in internal cost and as well as future profitability is dependent upon a number of factors including deliveries, performance and government budgetary pressures. The inability to achieve a satisfactory contractual solution, further unplanned delays, additional developmental cost growth or variations in any of the estimates used in the existing contract analysis could lead to further loss provisions. Additional losses could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the period in which the loss may be recognized.

Our audits also includedOctober 1, 2022, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)15 (2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of October 1, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated November 14, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

In our opinion,Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements referredthat were communicated or required to above present fairly, in allbe communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material respects,to the consolidated financial position of Moog Inc. at September 30, 2017statements and October 1, 2016, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each(2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the three yearscritical audit matter does not alter in the period ended September 30, 2017, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, inany way our opinion on the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basicconsolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respectsand we are not, by communicating the information set forth therein.critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosure to which it relates.

Estimated contract costs at completion
Description of the Matter
As discussed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements, revenue for certain of the Company’s contracts with its customers is recognized over time as work progresses toward completion and is measured based on the ratio of cumulative costs incurred to date to the estimated total contract costs at completion. For the year ended October 1, 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $1.9 billion or 64% of total net sales on this basis.

Auditing management’s estimated contract costs at completion was complex and highly judgmental due to the significant judgments applied by management including the application of significant assumptions such as estimated direct labor hours, direct material costs, and other direct costs. A significant change in an estimate on one or more contracts could have a material effect on the Company’s statement of earnings.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over management’s review of estimated contract costs at completion, including the determination of the underlying significant assumptions described above.

To test the estimated contract cost at completion, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, inspecting the approved contract and inquiring of program managers regarding the nature of the contract and the scope of work to be performed, testing the actual costs incurred through inspection of source documentation and testing the significant assumptions described above. Our testing of each of these assumptions included a combination of inquiries of finance directors and program managers, inspection of source documentation to support the future estimated costs and analytical procedures comparing profit rates to similar contracts, as applicable. We also assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimated costs at completion.
As discussed in Notes 1 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its recognition of excess tax benefits as a result of the adoption of the amendments to the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification resulting from Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, effective October 2, 2016.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Moog Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated November 13, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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


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


As indicated in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Moog Rekofa GmbH (formerly Rotary Transfer Systems), which are included in the 2017 consolidated financial statements of Moog Inc. and constituted $52 million and $43 million of total and net assets, respectively, as of September 30, 2017 and $11.7 million and $1.0 million of net sales and net earnings attributable to Moog respectively, for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of Moog Inc. also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Moog Rekofa GmbH acquired in 2017.

In our opinion, Moog Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2017 based on the COSO criteria.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Moog Inc. as of September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2017 of Moog Inc. and our report dated November 13, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
