A majority of competitors participate in only a few of CBF’s served markets on a regional or global basis. Markets served are competitive and the major competitive factors include product performance, quality, product availability and price. The relative importance of these competitive factors varies by market segment and channel.

Vision 2025 Strategy

Carlisle FoodService Products (“CFS” or “FoodService Products”)

The FoodService ProductsOur strategy under Vision 2025 for the CBF segment is to be the top brand in off-highway commercial transportation as the only supplier able to offer a leading manufacturer, distributor,complete “pedal to the wheel” solution and seller of commercial foodservice and janitorial products with three main focus markets. CFS is a leading provider of (i) tabletop dining supplies, table coverings, and display serving ware, (ii) food preparation, storage and handling and transport supplies and tools, and (iii) cleaning and sanitation tools and waste handling for restaurants, hotels, hospitals, nursing homes, business and industry work sites, education, and government facilities. CFS’s Dinex brand business is a leading provider of healthcare meal delivery systems for in‑room and mobile dining for acute care hospital patients and senior assisted living residents. CFS’s Sanitary Maintenance Products group is the leading provider of Sparta brand cleaning brushes, floor care supplies, and waste handling for janitorial professionals managing commercial building, industrial, and institutional facilities cleaning and maintenance. On January 9, 2017, we acquired San Jamar, a leading provider of universal dispensing systems and food safety products for foodservice and hygiene applications. San Jamar designs and distributes dispensers for paper towels, tissue, soap and air purification as well as personal and food safety products for commercial and institutional foodservice and sanitary maintenance customers.

CFS operates manufacturing facilitiescontinue to participate in the United Statesmining and Mexico. Sales are primarilymachinery equipment markets where demand remains supportive.

Key growth initiatives:
Product innovation by leveraging substantial research and development capabilities;
Increase differentiated technology via expansion of carbon technology;
Provide innovative, highly engineered vehicle solutions;
Increase presence through capitalizing on global acceleration of growth in North America. CFS’s product line is distributed from three primary distribution centers located in Charlotte, North Carolina; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma;served regions; and Batavia, Illinois, to wholesalers, distributors,
Operational excellence through facility rationalization, COS and dealers. These distributor and dealer customers, in turn, sell to restaurant, hotel, and onsite foodservice operators and sanitary maintenance professionals. Distributors and dealer business relationships are managed through both direct sales personnel and subcontracted manufacturer representatives. With the acquisition of San Jamar, CFS added one additional distribution center in Elkhorn, WI. 

Raw materials used by the FoodService Products segment include polymer resins, stainless steel, and aluminum. Key raw materials are sourced nationally from recognized suppliers of these materials.

The working capital practices for this segment include:

(i)

Standard accounts receivable payment terms of 30 days to 60 days.

automation.

(ii)

Standard accounts payable payment terms of 30 days to 90 days.

(iii)

Inventories are maintained in sufficient quantities to meet forecasted demand.

The FoodService Products segment serves a large and diverse customer base; however, in 2016 three distributor customers together represented approximately 26% of this segment’s net sales, none of which represented 10% of the Company’s consolidated net sales. The loss of one of these customers could have a material adverse effect on this segment’s net sales and cash flows.

The FoodService Products segment is engaged in markets that are generally highly competitive and competes equally on price, service, and product performance.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

The Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows can be affected by a number of factors including but not limited to those set forth below, those set forth in our “Forward Looking Statements” disclosure in Item 7 and those set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K,10-K, any one of which could cause the Company’s actual results to vary materially from recent results or from anticipated future results.

The Company’s earnings growth strategy is partially dependent on the acquisition and successful integration of other businesses.
The Company has a history of acquiring businesses as part of its earnings growth strategy. Typically, the Company considers acquiring companies that can be integrated within an existing business. Acquisitions of this type involve numerous risks, which may include a failure to realize expected revenue growth and operating and cost synergies from integration initiatives, increasing dependency on the markets served by the combined businesses or increased debt to finance the acquisitions.
The Company also considers the acquisition of businesses that may operate independent of existing businesses that involve similar risks with respect to a failure to realize expected revenue growth or operating and cost reductions within the acquired business; and could increase the possibility of diverting corporate management’s attention from its existing operations.
The successful realization of revenue growth, cost reductions and synergies with our existing businesses, and within acquired stand-alone businesses, and increases in profitability overall, is dependent upon successful integration initiatives. If these integration initiatives do not occur, there may be a negative effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
See “Part II—Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for recent acquisition information.
Several of the market segments that the Company serves are cyclical and sensitive to domestic and global economic conditions.

Several of the market segments in which the Company sells its products are, to varying degrees, cyclical and may experience periodic downturns in demand. For example, the Brake & FrictionCBF segment is susceptible to downturns in the construction, agriculture and mining industries, the Interconnect Technologiesindustries. The CIT segment is susceptible to downturns in the commercial airlineaerospace industry, and the Construction MaterialsCCM segment is susceptible to downturns in the commercial construction industry. In addition, both the Interconnect Technologies segmentindustry and the Brake & FrictionCFT segment may be negatively impacted by reductionsis susceptible to downturns in military spending.

the automotive industry.

Current uncertaintyUncertainty regarding global economic conditions may have an adverse effect on the businesses, results of operations and financial condition of the Company and its customers, distributors and suppliers. Among the economic factors which may affect performance are: manufacturing activity, commercial and residential construction, difficulties entering new markets and general economic conditions such as inflation, deflation, interest rates and credit availability. These effects may, among other things, negatively impact the level of purchases, capital expenditures and creditworthiness of the Company’s customers, distributors and suppliers, and therefore, the Company’s results of operations, margins and orders. The Company cannot predict if, when or how much worldwide economic conditions will fluctuate. These conditions are highly unpredictable and beyond the Company’sCompany's control. If these conditions deteriorate, however, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

The Company is subject to risks arising from international economic, political, legal and business factors.
The Company operates in global markets. Approximately 20% of the Company’s revenues in 2019 were generated outside the United States. In addition, to compete globally, all of the Company’s segments have manufacturing facilities outside the United States. In 2019, approximately 24% of cost of goods sold is derived from facilities outside of the United States.
The Company’s growthreliance on international revenues and international manufacturing bases exposes its business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows to a number of risks, including price and currency controls; government embargoes or foreign trade restrictions, including import and export tariffs; extraterritorial effects of U.S. laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; expropriation of assets; war, civil uprisings, acts of terror and riots; political instability; nationalization of private enterprises; hyperinflationary conditions; the necessity of obtaining governmental approval for new and continuing products and operations, currency conversion or repatriation of assets; legal systems of decrees, laws, taxes, regulations, interpretations and court decisions that are not always fully developed and that may be retroactively or arbitrarily applied; cost and availability of international labor, materials and shipping channels; and customer loyalty to local companies.
Additionally, there is partially dependent onuncertainty caused by the acquisitionU.K.'s recent exit from the European Union commonly referred to as "Brexit." While the specific terms and successful integrationimpact of other businesses.

Brexit are not yet known, Brexit could adversely impact the U.K. and/or the European Union, and therefore the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.

The Company has a long standing acquisition program and expectscertain of its customers’ operations are subject to continue acquiring businesses. Typically,regulatory risks.
Certain products manufactured by our businesses and certain of our customers operating in the aerospace and medical markets are subject to extensive regulation by the FAA and EASA, and FDA, respectively. It can be costly and time-consuming for the Company considers acquiring small companies in similar industries. Acquisitions of this type involve numerous risks, which may include potential difficulties integrating the business into existing operations; a failure to realize expected growth, synergies, and efficiencies; increasing dependency on the markets served by certain businesses, increased debt to finance the acquisitions or the inabilityour customers to obtain adequate financing on reasonable terms.

The Company also considersand maintain regulatory approvals and certifications to operate in these markets. Delays in FAA or EASA approvals or certifications of the acquisition of businesses that may operate independent of existing operations and could increase the possibility of diverting management’s attention from its existing operations. See “Part II—Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for acquisition information.

The successful integrationproducts of our acquired businesses is dependent uponaerospace customers may impact the realizationrequirements for our interconnect components. Product approvals subject to regulations might not be granted for new medical devices on a timely basis, if at all. Proposed new regulations or changes to regulations could result in the need to incur significant additional costs to comply. Continued government scrutiny, including reviews of efficienciesthe FDA medical device pre-market authorization and synergies. Ifpost-market surveillance processes, may impact the requirements for our medical device components. Failure of the Company or any of its customers operating in these integration initiatives do not occur, theremarkets to effectively respond to changes to applicable laws and regulations or comply with existing and future laws and regulations may behave a negative effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We are also subject to increasingly stringent environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to air emissions, wastewater discharges, chemical and hazardous waste management, and disposal. Some of these environmental laws hold owners or operators of land or businesses liable for their own and for previous owners’ or operators’ releases of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes. Other environmental laws and regulations require the obtainment of, and compliance with, environmental permits. To date, costs of complying with environmental, health, and safety requirements have not been material, and the Company is unabledid not have any significant accruals related to successfully integratepotential future costs of environmental remediation as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, nor are any acquired business or realizematerial asset retirement obligations recorded as of that date. However, the growth, synergies, and efficiencies that were expected when determining the purchase price, goodwill and other intangible assets acquired may be considered impaired, resulting in an adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations. See “Part II—Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” for a discussion of factors considered in the subsequent valuationnature of the Company’s operations and its long history of industrial activities at certain of its current or former facilities, as well as those acquired, goodwillcould potentially result in material environmental liabilities or asset retirement obligations.

financial position. Future events, including those relating to climate change or greenhouse gas regulation, could require the Company to incur expenses related to the modification or curtailment of operations, installation of pollution control equipment, or investigation and cleanup of contaminated sites.
The Company has significant concentrations in the domestic commercial construction market.

For the year ended December 31, 2016,2019, approximately 56%67% of the Company’s revenues and approximately 85%88% of its EBIT (excluding Corporate expenses and including impairment charges of $141.5 million)operating income were generated by the Construction MaterialsCCM segment. Construction spending is affected by economic conditions, changes in interest rates, demographic and population shifts and changes in construction spending by federal, state and local governments. A decline in the commercial construction market could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, adverse weather conditions such as heavy or sustained rainfall, cold weather and snow can limit construction activity and reduce demand for roofing materials. Weather conditions can also be a positive factor, as demand for roofing materials may rise after harsh weather conditions due to the need for replacement materials.

The Construction MaterialsCCM segment competes through pricing, among other factors. Increased competition in this segment has placed, and could continue to place, negative pressure on operating results in future periods.

10


The Company is subject to risks arising from international economic, political, legal, and business factors.

The Company has increased, and anticipates that it will continue to increase, its presence in global markets. Approximately 23% of the Company’s revenues in 2016 were generated outside the United States. The Company expects this percentage will grow as the Company continues to expand its international sales efforts. In addition, to compete globally, all of the Company’s segments have operations outside the United States.

The Company’s increasing reliance on international revenues and international manufacturing bases exposes its business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows to a number of risks, including price and currency controls; government embargoes or foreign trade restrictions; extraterritorial effects of U.S. laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; expropriation of assets; war, civil uprisings, acts of terror, and riots; political instability; nationalization of private enterprises; hyperinflationary conditions; the necessity of obtaining governmental approval for new and continuing products and operations, currency conversion, or repatriation of assets; legal systems of decrees, laws, taxes, regulations, interpretations, and court decisions that are not always fully developed and that may be retroactively or arbitrarily applied; cost and availability of international shipping channels; and customer loyalty to local companies.

The loss of, or a significant decline in business with, one or more of the Company’s key customers could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company operates in several specialty niche markets in which a large portion of the segment’s revenues are attributable to a few large customers. See “Item 1. Business—Overview—Description of Businesses by Segment” for a discussion of customer concentrations by segment. A significant reduction in purchases by one or more of these customers could have a materialan adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of one or more of the Company’s segments.

Some of the Company’s key customers enjoy significant purchasing power that may be used to exert pricing pressure on the Company. Additionally, as many of the Company’s businesses are part of a long supply chain to the ultimate consumer, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely affected if one or more key customers elects to in‑sourcein-source or find alternative suppliers for the production of a product or products that the Company currently provides.

Raw Materialmaterial costs are a significant component of the Company’s cost structure and are subject to volatility.

The Company utilizes petroleum‑basedpetroleum-based products, steel and other commodities in its manufacturing processes. Raw materials, including inbound freight, accounted for approximately 59%62% of the Company’s cost of goods sold in 2016.2019. Significant increases in the price of these materials may not be recovered through selling price increases and could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company also relies on global sources of raw materials, which could be adversely impacted by unfavorable shipping or trade arrangements, including import and export tariffs and global economic conditions.

If the Company or its business partners are unable Refer to adequately protect the Company’s information assets from cyber‑based attacks or other security incidents, the Company’s operations could be disrupted.

The Company is increasingly dependent on information technology, including the internet, for the storage, processing, and transmission of its electronic, business‑related, information assets. Cybersecurity incidents are increasing in frequency, evolving in nature and include, but are not limited to, installation of malicious software, unauthorized access to data and other electronic security breaches that could lead to disruptions in our systems, unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information and the corruption of data. The Company leverages its internal information technology infrastructures, and those of its business partners, to enable, sustain, and protect its global business interests. In the event that the Company or its business partners are unable to prevent, detect, and remediate cyber‑based attacks or other security incidents in a timely manner, the Company’s operations could be disrupted or the Company may incur financial or reputational losses arising from the theft, alteration, misuse, unauthorized disclosure, or destruction of its information assets.

11


Currency fluctuation could have a material impact on the Company’s reported results of business operations.

The Company’s global net sales and other activities are translated into U.S. Dollars for reporting purposes. The strengthening or weakening of the U.S. Dollar could result in unfavorable translation effects as the results of transactions in foreign countries are translated into U.S. Dollars. In addition, sales and purchases in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar expose the Company to fluctuations in foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar. Increased strength of the U.S. Dollar will decrease the Company’s reported revenues or margins in respect of sales conducted in foreign currencies to the extent the Company is unable or determines not to increase local currency prices. Likewise, decreased strength of the U.S. Dollar could have a material adverse effect on the cost of materials and products purchased overseas. Many of the Company’s sales that are exported by its U.S. subsidiaries to foreign countries are denominated in U.S. Dollars, reducing currency exposure. However, increased strength of the U.S. Dollar may decrease the competitiveness of our U.S. subsidiaries’ products that are sold in U.S. Dollars within foreign locations.

The Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the exposure of certain of our results of operations and cash flows to such fluctuations. See “Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements7A. Quantitative and Supplementary Data—Note 19 – Foreign Currency Forward Contracts”Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for a discussion of these contracts.

additional information regarding commodity price risk.

Dispositions, failure to successfully complete dispositions or restructuring activities could negatively affect the Company.

From time to time, the Company, as part of its commitment to concentrate on its core business, may dispose of all or a portion of certain businesses. Such dispositions involve a number of risks and present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including diversion of managementmanagement's attention from the Company’s core businesses, increased expense associated with the dispositions, potential disputes with the customers or suppliers of the disposed businesses, potential disputes with the acquirers of the disposed businesses and a potential dilutive effect on the Company’s earnings per share. If dispositions are not completed in a timely manner, there may be a negative effect on the Company’s cash flows and/or the Company’s ability to execute its strategy. 

Additionally, from time to time, the Company may undertake consolidation and other restructuring projects in an effort to reduce costs and streamline its operations. Such restructuring activities may divert managementmanagement's attention from the Company’s core businesses, increase expenses on a short‑termshort-term basis and lead to potential disputes with the employees, customers or suppliers of the affected businesses. If restructuring activities are not completed in a

timely manner or if anticipated cost savings, synergies and efficiencies are not realized, there may be a negative effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

During 2016, the Company implemented cost reduction plans

Security breaches or significant disruptions of our information technology systems or violations of data privacy laws could adversely affect our business.

We rely on information technology systems, some of which are managed by third-parties, to process, transmit and store electronic information, and to manage or support critical business processes. Security breaches of these systems could result in the unauthorized or inappropriate access to confidential information or personal data entrusted to us by our business partners. While we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, security breaches to our information technology systems, none of them to date has had a material impact on the Company. Additionally, these systems may be disrupted as a result of attacks by computer hackers or viruses, human error or wrongdoing, operational failures or other catastrophic events. The Company leverages its internal information technology infrastructures, and those of its business partners, to enable, sustain and protect its global business interests, however, any of the aforementioned breaches or disruptions could result in legal claims, liability or penalties under privacy laws or damage to operations or to the Company's reputation, which could adversely affect our business.
We are subject to data privacy and security laws, regulations and customer-imposed controls as a result of having access to and processing confidential, personal and/or sensitive data in the course of business. If we are unable to maintain reliable information technology systems and appropriate controls with respect to privacy and security requirements, we may suffer regulatory consequences that could be costly or otherwise adversely affect our business.

" in the Company's 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Executive Overview

We are a multi‑national company that designs, manufactures and sells a wide range of products principally throughout North America, Western Europe, and the Asia Pacific region via the following segments:

·

Carlisle Construction Materials (“CCM” or “Construction Materials”);

·

Carlisle Interconnect Technologies (“CIT” or “Interconnect Technologies”);

·

Carlisle Fluid Technologies (“CFT” or “Fluid Technologies”);

·

Carlisle Brake & Friction (“CBF” or “Brake & Friction”); and

·

CarlisleFoodService Products (“CFS” or “FoodService Products”).

We are focusedfocus on achieving profitable growth in theseour segments both organically, through new product development, product line extensions and entering new markets, andas well as through acquisitions of businesses that complement our existing technologies, products and market channels. We focus on obtaining profitable growth through:

·

Year‑over‑year improvement in sales, earnings before interest and income taxes (“EBIT”) margins, net earnings and return on invested capital (“ROIC”);

·

Reduction of working capital (defined as receivables, plus inventories, net of accounts payable) as a percentage of net sales;

·

Globalization; and

15


·

Maintenance of a strong and flexible balance sheet.

Resources are allocated among the operating companiessegments based on senior management’s assessment of theirits ability to obtain leadership positions and competitive advantages in the markets they serve.

A key philosophy in how we driveit serves. We focus on obtaining profitable growth isthrough the following strategic factors:

Driving above-market organic growth;
Utilizing COS consistently to drive efficiencies and operating leverage;
Building scale with synergistic acquisitions;
Continuing to invest in and develop exceptional talent; and
Deploying capital into capital expenditures, share repurchases and dividends.
Driven by strong underlying demand in North American non-residential roofing markets, Carlisle Operating System (“COS”delivered record full year sales, operating income and diluted EPS results. We accomplished these results despite continued negative impact in the global economy highlighted by, amongst various factors, U.S./China trade negotiations, Brexit uncertainty, global industrial production declines and significant commercial aerospace production delays at a key customer.
We continue to gain traction on the key pillars of Vision 2025, under which we target $8 billion in revenues, 20% operating margin, and 15% return on invested capital ("ROIC")., all driving to $15 of earnings per share.

As we embark on year three of Vision 2025, we will build on the achievements of our first two years and continue to drive towards our objectives to achieve 5% organic growth with leverage, utilize COS isto deliver efficiencies and annual cost savings of 1 to 2% of revenues, deploying $3 billion to build scale with synergistic acquisitions, continuing to invest in exceptional talent and allocating over $3 billion into capital expenditures, share repurchases and dividends.

Full year 2019 highlights include:

Delivered 2.8% organic revenue growth despite significant headwinds and leveraged this growth to expand operating margins 220 basis points
Drove organic revenue growth of 5% since the launch of Vision 2025, in line with our long-term target
Maintained strong price discipline, leading to positive price realization across all segments
Achieved gross savings and benefits from COS within our targeted range of 1 to 2% of revenues
Deployed over $600 million of capital into 8 strategic acquisitions
Leveraged our strong cash flow and balance sheet by deploying over $485 million into share repurchases and dividends paid

In addition to our strong financial performance, we are pleased about the continued momentum our team has generated around environmental, social and governance ("ESG") issues. In 2019, we established an ESG steering committee, developed an ESG reporting process, elevated the position of Director of Sustainability to report directly to the Chief Executive Officer and established a manufacturing structureplan to publish our first ESG report in 2020. Additionally, we made

progress in diversifying our Board of Directors and strategy deployment systemhave made commitments to ensuring a $15 per hour minimum wage in our U.S. operations, gender pay equity, and a gender-balanced management team.

We are pleased with our significant accomplishments and strong performance in a challenging 2019. Supported by COS, our teams focused on and executed numerous continuous improvement projects to help overcome these challenges. Finally, we recognize that Carlisle's achievements are the culmination of efforts by our employees, customers, channel partners and suppliers, and we appreciate their contribution to our record results in 2019.

(1)Items affecting comparability primarily include acquisition related costs, exit and disposal costs, facility rationalization costs, litigation settlement costs, gains from divestitures and non-comparable tax items. The tax effect is based on lean enterprise and six sigma principles and is a continuous improvement process that defines the way we do business. Waste is eliminated and efficiencies improved enterprise wide. Improvements are not limited to production areas, as COS also drives improvements in new product innovation, engineering, supply chain management, warranty, and product rationalization. COS creates a culture of continuous improvement across all aspectsrate of the Company’s business operations.

Another key strategyjurisdiction where the expense is deductible. Refer to Items Affecting Comparability in driving profitable growth is through acquisitions. We typically acquire businesses that are complementary to our existing segments and can be integrated into them. However,this MD&A for further discussion.

Revenues increased primarily reflecting contributions from time to time we may acquire new businesses that operate independently from other segments. Factors we consider in making an acquisition include the ability of the acquired businesses to drive profitable growth in the future by increasing our EBIT margins, operating cash flows, and net earnings. We may also pursue the sale of businesses when it is determined they no longer fit within the Company’s long‑term goals or strategy.

Acquisitions

CFT isPetersen Aluminum Corporation ("Petersen") in the Carlisle Construction Materials (“CCM”) segment, higher volumes and continued price leadership, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates.

The increase in operating income primarily reflected the above revenue performance and benefits from raw material savings and contributions from COS, partially offset by wage inflation. Refer to Segment Results of Operations within this MD&A for further information related to segment operating income results.
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations primarily benefited from the above operating income performance ($1.81 per share in 2019), reduced average shares outstanding ($0.44 per share in 2019) resulting from our share repurchase program, and a global manufacturer and supplier of finishing equipment and systems serving diverse end markets for paints and coatings, including original equipment (“OE”) automotive, automotive refinishing, aerospace, agriculture, construction, marine, rail, and other industrial applications.

Revenues$4,811.6  $4,479.5  $332.1  7.4 %5.1 %2.8 %(0.5)%
The increase in revenues in 2019 primarily reflected a contribution of $176.2 million from the acquisition of Petersen in the CCM segment and $53.8 million from other acquisitions primarily in the CFT and Carlisle Interconnect Technologies ("CIT") segments, and higher volumes and price from favorable commercial construction demand at CCM. The increase in revenues was partially offset by lower volumes at CBF and CFT, and unfavorable foreign currency rates due to higher neta stronger U.S. dollar.

The decrease in EBIT and EBIT margin2018 primarily reflected the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets at our Brake & Friction segment of $141.5 million. Refer to “Critical Accounting Estimates” in this Management Discussion and Analysis for further discussion. This reduction was partially offset by $79.4 million EBIT growth from the Construction Materials segment due to favorable raw material and pricing dynamics and higher sales volume, and the contribution of a full yearnet impact of the acquired Finishing brands business withinresolution of certain tax uncertainties related to the Fluid Technologies segment.

The provision for income taxes on continuing operations for 2019 is higher than 2018 primarily reflecting higher pre-tax income in the high-single digit percent range, led by the performanceU.S., and to a lesser extent in foreign jurisdictions. This equated to higher taxes of our CCM, CIT and CFT segments. Net sales growth is expected to be primarily driven by growth$35.5 million, with approximately $1.2 million of net lower taxes related to strength in the domestic commercial roofing market at the Construction Materials segment, higher demand for aerospace and medical connector applications at the Interconnect Technologies segment, and new products and sales penetration initiatives at the Fluid Technologies segment.

2015 Compared to 2014

Net sales increased primarily due to a full year of sales from the acquired Finishing Brands and LHi businesses. From the period beginning April 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, Fluid Technologies contributed net sales of $203.2 million and EBIT of $20.8 million to the Company’s 2015 results. Our organic net sales growth (defined as net sales excluding both sales from acquired businesses within the last twelve months,other permanent differences and the impact of changesprior year taxes in foreign exchange rates)the current year, primarily reflected increased sales volumes at Construction Materials and Interconnect Technologies, partially offset by lower sales volume at Brakerelated to:

2016 Compared to 2015

Total net sales to customers located outside the United States (“U.S.”) decreased primarily due to reduction of international sales by Construction Materials, largely reflecting declining Canadian sales as a result of reduced construction activity as compared to prior year. Partially offsetting this decline in international sales is the contribution of international sales from the acquisition of the Finishing Brands business reported in the Fluid Technologies segment. The increase of net sales into Asia in 2016 was primarily attributable to Fluid Technologies. Approximately 33% of Fluid Technologies’ net sales were to customers in Asia in 2016.

2015 Compared to 2014

Total net sales to customers located outside the United States increased primarily due to contribution from the acquisition of the Finishing Brands business reported in the Fluid Technologies segment of $118.7 million. The increase in net sales to customers outside the United States also reflected higher sales volumes at Interconnect Technologies and contribution from the LHi acquisition. These increases were2009, partially offset by the negative impactsettlement of foreign exchange fluctuations primarily at Construction Materials and Brake & Friction and lower net sales volume at Brake & Friction and Foodservice Products. The 66% increase in net sales into Asia in 2015 was primarily attributable to the aforementioned acquisitions. Approximately 30% of Fluid Technologies’ net sales were to customers in Asia in 2015.

2016 Compared to 2015

In 2016, the increase in gross margin (gross profit expressed as a percentage of net sales) was primarily driven by lower raw material costs at Construction Materials, savings from COS, and lower per unit costs related to higher capacity utilization driven by higher sales volume. These positive impacts were partially offset by lower selling prices at Construction Materials and Interconnect Technologies. Included in gross profit and gross margin in 2016 was $2.0 million in additional cost of goods sold associated with the fair valuation of acquired inventoryprior income tax positions in the Interconnect Technologies segment.

2015 Compared to 2014

In 2015, the increase in gross margin was primarily driven by lower raw material costs at Construction Materials, lower labor and material usage costs from COS and lower per unit costs related to higher capacity utilization driven by higher sales volume. These positive impacts were partially offset by lower selling prices. Included in gross profit and gross margin in 2015 was $8.6 million in additional cost of goods sold associated with the fair valuation of acquired inventory in the Fluid Technologies segment. Included in gross profit and gross margin in 2014 was $1.6 million in cost of goods soldcurrent year related to the fair valuationsale of acquired inventory forCFS.

Income from discontinued operations in 2018 primarily reflects the LHi acquisition inpre-tax gain on sale of CFS totaling $296.8 million. Excluding the Interconnect Technologies segment, $9.0 million in plant startup and product line closing costs at Construction Materials related to startupgain on sale, income from discontinued operations reflects activity from January 1, 2018 through March 20, 2018, the date that the sale of its PVC manufacturing operations and new TPO manufacturing facility, and $0.9 million in expense to discontinue production of Construction Materials’ Insulfoam product line at its Smithfield, Pennsylvania facility.

2016 Compared to 2015

Selling and administrative expense increased primarily due to a full year of expenses from the acquired Finishing Brands business, higher selling costs primarily at Construction Materials on higher net sales volume, higher staffing and performance-based incentive compensation costs at Construction Materials and Interconnect Technologies, and expenses related to our exit and disposal plans during 2016 (referRefer to Note 4 in Item 8 for further discussion). During 2016, Interconnect Technologies incurred employee termination costs of $7.6 million related to planned growth opportunities and enhancements in its long-term cost competitiveness within certain international operations. Expenses to close certain facilities and relocate administrative functions at Fluid Technologies and Corporate were $4.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively. These increases were partially offset by reduced expenses at the Brake & Friction segment.

Selling and administrative expense, as a percentage of sales, increased primarily due to incremental administrative expenses from acquired businesses, principally the Finishing Brands business, as well as exit and disposal costs at Interconnect Technologies, Fluid Technologies, and Corporate.

2015 Compared to 2014

Selling and administrative expenses increased primarily due to $67.0 million of expense from the acquired Finishing Brands and LHi businesses, higher selling costs primarily at Construction Materials on higher net sales volume, higher expense from increased staffing and performance‑based incentive compensation costs at Construction Materials, and increased Corporate expenses. These increased expenses were partially offset by lower selling and administrative expense costs at Brake & Friction due to lower net sales volume and cost reduction efforts. During 2015, the Company incurred $2.1 million in transaction costs related to the Finishing Brands acquisition, of which $0.7 million was allocated to the Fluid Technologies segment and the remaining $1.4 million allocated to Corporate. By comparison, in 2014, the Company incurred $1.9 million in transaction expenses for the acquisition of LHi in the Interconnect Technologies segment.

Selling and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales increased as a result of the Fluid Technologies segment having a higher ratio of selling and administrative expense to net sales versus the other segments, in part due to the amortized cost of acquired intangible assets.

2016 Compared to 2015

The 2016 effective income tax rate of 38.9% differs from the U.S. Federal tax rate of 35% primarily due to the impairment of goodwill, reduced by foreign earnings taxed at lower rates, the deduction for U.S. manufacturing activities, Federal foreign tax credits, and the recognition of certain state tax attributes.

2015 Compared to 2014

The 2015 effective income tax rate of 31.7% differs from the statutory rate primarily due to foreign earnings taxed at rates lower than the U.S. federal tax rate, the deduction for U.S. manufacturing activities, and the recognition of certain state tax attributes. The recognition of the state tax attributes, which is the primary driver of the decrease in the year over year tax rate, occurred as a result of a change in judgment due to new facts regarding the expected deferred tax asset realization from state tax loss and credit carryforwards for which we previously held a valuation allowance.

2016 Compared to 2015

CCM’s net sales growth reflected strong demand in the U.S. for commercial roofing and insulation applications, partially offset by lower selling price and lower international demand. CCM’s net sales growth primarily reflected higher sales volumes of 5.1%, partially offset by 2.2% negative pricing impact. International sales decreased primarily due to sales volume reductions in Canada as compared to the prior year. CCM’s net sales into Canada declined approximately 40%, due to weakened new construction activity as compared to prior year.

CCM’s EBIT and EBIT margin growth was due primarily to favorable raw material costs, higher net sales and savings from operating efficiencies through COS.  CCM’s raw material costs were lower in 2016 versus 2015 primarily due to lower input costs driven by the decline in crude oil and other energy commodity pricing. These positive impacts were partially offset by unfavorable changes in selling price.

Matters Impacting Future Results

CCM’s net sales and EBIT are generally higher in the second and third quarters of the year due to increased construction activity during these periods.  CCM’s commercial roofing business is comprised predominantly of net sales from re-roofing, which derives demand from a large base of installed roofs requiring replacement in a given year, and less extensively from roofing for new commercial construction.  Demand for commercial insulation products is also driven by increased enforcement of building codes related to energy efficiency.  Growth in demand in the commercial construction market may be negatively impacted by changes in fiscal policy and increases in interest rates.  The availability of labor to fulfill installations may also be a constraint on growth in the commercial roofing market.

The outlook in commercial construction in the U.S. remains positive, with mid-single digit sales growth expected in 2017. Selling prices are expected to remain relatively flat in the industry, with slight raw material cost inflation experienced for the first time since the end of 2014. We acquired Arbo inOn January of 2017, as previously mentioned. See “Part II—Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Acquisitions” for additional information regarding acquisitions.

CCM’s ability to maintain current selling price and volume levels is subject to significant competition, in particular from competitors that have recently added manufacturing capacity of commercial roofing and commercial insulation products and as a result of lower raw material costs. Raw material input costs are expected to increase moderately from current levels due to crude oil and related commodity pricing. Also, selling price pressure may negatively impact CCM’s ability to maintain current EBIT margin levels or obtain incremental EBIT margin.

2015 Compared to 2014

CCM’s net sales growth primarily reflected higher sales volumes of 6.5%, partially offset by a 2.0% negative impact from foreign exchange fluctuations primarily from the stronger U.S. Dollar versus the Euro and the Canadian dollar, and 1.0% from lower selling prices. CCM’s net sales volume growth was primarily driven by increased activity in both commercial construction and re‑roofing. CCM’s net sales into Europe declined 13%, of which 16% related to the negative impact of foreign exchange, partially offset by organic net sales growth. CCM’s net sales into Canada, declined 9%, of which 13% related to the negative impact of foreign exchange, partially offset by organic net sales growth.

24


CCM’s EBIT and EBIT margins growth was due primarily to lower raw material costs, with additional contribution from lower per unit cost from higher capacity utilization, lower labor and material usage costs from COS, and the non‑recurrence of $9.0 million in startup expense in 2014 at its new PVC and TPO production facilities. CCM’s raw material costs were lower in 2015 versus 2014 primarily due to lower input costs driven by the decline in crude oil and other energy commodity pricing. These positive impacts were partially offset by unfavorable changes in mix, lower selling price, and the negative impact of foreign exchange fluctuations related to the U.S. Dollar versus the Canadian Dollar and versus the Euro.

2016 Compared to 2015

CIT’s net sales growth primarily reflected higher sales volume of 4.3%, largely related to the aerospace and medical technology applications, and acquisition growth of 3.4% from the acquisitions of Micro-Coax and Star Aviation. These increases were partially offset by lower selling prices of 1.1%.  Net sales in CIT’s aerospace and medical markets increased by 4.3% and 7.5%, respectively, due to higher demand.  These increases were partially offset by a decline in sales in the defense, industrial and test and measurement markets.

In the third quarter of 2015, CIT announced a project to expand its production facilities in Dongguan, China into a new 260,000 sq. ft. facility to meet expected demand in the medical technology market.  In 2016, we started production at our new manufacturing facility in Dongguan, China.  Production at this state-of-the-art facility will ramp up over the next year, as we integrate facilities to create efficiencies in our Asia operations, to meet demand expectations in the medical market.  During the fourth quarter of 2016, CIT recognized expenses for employee termination benefits of $7.6 million related to planned growth opportunities and enhancements in its long-term cost competitiveness within certain of our Asia operations. The total cost of the termination benefits is expected to be approximately $12 million, with the additional benefits to be recognized through the second quarter of 2018. Cash payments related to these benefits will be incurred beginning in the first half of 2017 through the second quarter of 2018. Other associated costs are not expected to be significant.

CIT’s EBIT increased primarily due to savings from COS, and higher net sales volume led by in‑flight entertainment and connectivity (“IFEC”) demand, partially offset by lower selling price.  CIT’s EBIT margin decrease was partially attributable to the aforementioned employee termination benefits expense of $7.6 million as well as $3.7 million in plant startup costs for the new facility in Dongguan, China, to expand manufacturing capacity.  Also included in CIT’s EBIT was $3.5 million in expense related to the acquisitions of Micro-Coax and Star Aviation, primarily related to additional costs associated with the fair valuation of inventory. 

Also, in the fourth quarter 2015, CIT announced a project to expand its existing aerospace facility in Franklin, Wisconsin to increase manufacturing capacity by 30,000 sq. ft. to meet expected demand for its recently launched SatCom antenna adaptor plate used as part of satellite‑based IFEC applications. The Franklin, Wisconsin expansion is expected to be completed in early 2017. In 2016, CIT has incurred costs of approximately $3.1 million related to this project.

Matters Impacting Future Results

Net sales into the aerospace market comprised approximately 69%, including net sales from Star Aviation. The longer term outlook in the commercial aerospace market remains favorable with a strong delivery cycle for new commercial aircraft expected over the next several years. The outlook for the market for IFEC applications also remains positive on increasing demand for on board connectivity applications used in both installed aircraft seating and through personal mobile devices using wireless connectivity (Wi‑Fi) access.

25


Net sales into the medical market comprise approximately 15% of CIT’s total net sales. CIT is actively pursuing new products, customers, and complementary technologies to support its expansion into the growing healthcare technology market. The medical technology markets in which CIT competes are experiencing vendor consolidation trends among larger medical OEM’s, to whom CIT offers improved product verification capabilities and value‑added vertical integration through its multiple product offerings.

Our overall outlook for CIT in 2017 is for net sales growth in the high single digits with growth expected in commercial aerospace, medical, military/defense and test and measurement markets.

2015 Compared to 2014

CIT’s net sales growth primarily reflected acquisition growth of 11.8%, from the acquisition of the LHi medical cabling business, and higher sales volumes of 8.5%, primarily on higher demand for its IFEC applications sold into the commercial aerospace markets and slightly higher volumes on higher demand for connectivity applications sold into the defense and test and measurement markets. The increase in net sales from acquisitions and higher sales volumes were partially offset by 2.8% lower selling price.

CIT’s EBIT increase primarily reflected higher net sales volume, lower labor and material usage costs from COS, and $7.8 million in EBIT contribution from the acquisition of LHi, partially offset by lower contractual selling price. CIT’s EBIT margin declined versus the prior year primarily due to selling price reductions and the dilutive impact of the LHi acquisition on margin. These negative impacts were partially offset by lower per unit costs resulting from higher capacity utilization, lower labor and material usage costs from COS and lower raw material costs. Included in CIT’s EBIT in 2014 was $3.5 million in costs related to the acquisition of LHi, including higher cost of goods sold related to the fair valuation of acquired inventory. Partially offsetting these costs in 2014 was a gain of $0.9 million recognized upon the final settlement of the acquisition of Thermax.

During 2014, CIT began construction on a 216,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Nogales, Mexico, to meet growing demand for its aerospace applications and to support growth in its medical applications. The total cost of CIT’s new facility was $23.4 million. Shipments began in the first quarter 2015 and the project was completed in the second quarter of 2015.

On April 1, 2015, we completed the acquisition of the Finishing Brands business from Graco, which resulted in the addition of the Fluid Technologies reportable segment. In February 2016,11, 2019, we acquired MS Powder as partPetersen for consideration of efforts to broaden CFT’s product portfolio. 

2016 Compared to 2015

CFT’s net sales growth primarily reflected the contribution from the full year$207.2 million, including $5.2 million of Finishing Brands of $60.9 millioncash acquired and post-closing adjustments, which were finalized in the first quarter of 2016, as well as contribution from MS Powder during 20162019. Petersen’s primary business is the manufacture and distribution of $5.7 million. This growth is partially offset by a negative impactarchitectural metal roof panels, steel and aluminum flat sheets, and coils, wall panels, perimeter roof edge systems and related accessories for commercial, residential, institutional, industrial and agricultural markets. Refer to foreign currency of 1.2%.

During 2016, our Carlisle Fluid Technologies segment recognized costs primarily associated with employee termination benefits and relocation costs of $4.1 million, related to the relocation of administrative functions to Scottsdale, Arizona, and closure of facilities in Swanton, Ohio and France. These actions are substantially complete with remaining costs of approximately $0.6 million expected to be incurred principally in 2017. CFT may experience additional costs related to integration and headquarter relocation activities. CFT is expected to hire additional sales, marketing and administrative staff to support its organizational and sales growth strategy during 2017.

CFT’s EBIT and EBIT margin increase primarily reflected the non-recurrence of $9.3 million of(1)Items affecting comparability include acquisition related costs incurred in 2015, as well as, the Finishing Brands acquisition full year contribution to EBIT of $6.9($2.6 million in the first quarter of 2016.  Included in CFT’s EBIT is also the aforementioned $4.12019 and $2.2 million in restructuring expense for consolidation2018), gain from divestitures ($(0.7) million in 2019 and relocation activities.

Matters Impacting Future Results

The longer term outlook$(1.8) million in the transportation2018) and general industrial markets remains steady with a stable backlog of systemsexit and standard projects expected over the next year. We expect the opportunity fordisposal costs ($0.3 million in 2019), refer to Items Affecting Comparability.

CCM’s revenue growth in the Asia-Pacific markets to continue to increase in conjunction with the expanding powder opportunities. The outlook across CFT’s largest global end markets is positive as we enter 2017, and our expectations for growth are in the mid-single digit percent range.

2015 Compared to 2014

Through the nine month period2019 reflected contribution from April 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, CFT’s EBIT and EBIT margin included acquisition related costs for Finishing Brands of $8.6 million, additional costs of goods sold of $13.2 million related to the fair valuation of acquired inventory, and $0.7 million allocated transaction costs. These acquisition related costs were incurred in the second quarter of 2015.

2016 Compared to 2015

CBF’s net sales declined due to continued weakness in off-highway equipment markets dependent on and tied to lower demand for commodities.  The lower net sales wereacquisitions, primarily due to declines in the construction, mining, and on-highway markets of 14.9%, 14.4%, and 22.3%, respectively. Sale declined 15.6% in the aircraft braking market during 2016. 

Indicators as of September 30, 2016 pointed to a longer period before CBF’s markets are expected to recover.  Given these conditions, during the third quarter of 2016, we recognized goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges of $141.5 million. Refer to “Critical Accounting Estimates” in this Management Discussion and Analysis for further discussion.

CBF’s EBIT and EBIT margin decline was impacted by goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, as discussed above,Petersen, and higher per unit costs resultingvolumes driven by continued strength in U.S. commercial roofing demand and new product introductions.

CCM’s operating margin percentage growth in 2019 primarily reflected raw material savings, positive volume leverage, price realization and savings from lower capacity utilization due to lower net sales volume, partially offset by cost reduction actions.

Matters Impacting Future Results

In 2017,January 2019, we do not anticipate a significant recovery in key end markets, and expect a slight sales decline for the year. Throughout this downturn, CBF has aggressively addressed its challenging markets by realigning its cost structure.  CBF has reduced headcount and reduced its non-production related operating expenses. CBF faces competitive pricing pressure in the current demand environment and from competitors that manufacture and sell products in Euros.

CBF continues to remain focused on new sources of revenue, cost reduction, operational efficiency and positive cash flow generation. As part of its efforts to continue to re-align CBF’s cost structure and to position it for expected end market recovery,announced we would exit our Board of Directors approved and subsequently, on February 9, 2017, the Company announced that it will exit its manufacturing operations in Tulsa, OklahomaEl Segundo, California, and Riverside, California, and relocate the majority of those operations to itsour existing manufacturing facilityfacilities in Medina, Ohio.North America. This actionproject is expected to take approximately12 to 18 months to complete.

Total associated exit and disposalproject costs are expected to be between $16.5 million and $18.5approximately $17.9 million, with non-cashapproximately $1.4 million remaining to be incurred. Refer to Note 8 for further information regarding exit and disposal activities.

On April 1, 2019, we acquired MicroConnex Corporation ("MicroConnex") for consideration of $46.2 million, including $0.8 million of cash acquired and post-closing adjustments. MicroConnex is a manufacturer of highly engineered microminiature flex circuits and sensors for the medical, and test and measurement markets.
On November 20, 2019, we acquired Providien, LLC ("Providien") for consideration of $332.1 million, including $3.4 million of cash acquired, subject to post-closing adjustments. Providien is a leading provider of comprehensive manufacturing solutions for global medical device original equipment manufacturers, including thermoforming, medical device contract manufacturing, precision machining and metals, and medical injection molding.

CBF's revenue decreased in 2019, reflecting year-over-year volume declines in the transportation and heavy equipment markets, and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates.
CBF's operating margin percentage increase in 2019 was driven by lower restructuring and facility rationalization costs associated with accelerated depreciation of approximately $6 million, and cash costsour Tulsa, Oklahoma to be incurred of between $10.5 million to $12.5 million between the first quarter of 2017 and the second half of 2018.   As part of the relocation effort, the Company will also invest additional capital in its Medina, Ohio facility. The capital investment is anticipated to be comprised of approximately $13.0 million to expand the facility consolidation and between $15 million to $16 million to purchase new, more efficient equipment to replace equipment not being relocated.

See Note 20 in Item 8 and Item 9B for further detail as to the type and timing of associated costs expected to be incurred as a result of this action.

2015 Compared to 2014

CBF’s net sales declined due to lower net sales volume and a 5.1% negative impactsavings from foreign exchange fluctuations from the stronger U.S. Dollar versus the Euro, British Pound and Yen in 2015, versus the prior year. CBF’s primary markets of construction, mining, and agriculture were negatively impacted by slower global conditions and depressed conditions in the commodities markets. CBF’s net sales of its off‑highway braking applications into the construction market declined by 16%. CBF’s net sales into the mining and agriculture markets declined by 14% and 20%, respectively.

CBF’s EBIT and EBIT margin decline primarily reflected lower net sales volume, higher per unit costs resulting from lower capacity utilization, and the negative impact of foreign exchange fluctuations of approximately $3.0 million. Also included in CBF’s EBIT in 2015 was $1.7 million in severance costs, $3.4 million in asset impairment charges, and $0.5 million in closing costs for its Akron, Ohio facility. By comparison, in 2014, CBF incurred $1.2 million in severance costs from staff reduction actions taken to align its cost structure with current demand levels and $4.3 million in inventory impairments.

2016 Compared to 2015

CFS’s net sales growth primarily reflected higher demand in the foodservice products market.  Net sales to the foodservice market increased by 5.7%, due to increased sales to larger accounts and national chains and improvements from new sales initiatives.  Net sales to the janitorial/sanitation market increased by 2.7% due to higher demand for waste handling products. These increases wereCOS, partially offset by lower net sales to the healthcare market.

volumes.

CFS’s EBIT and EBIT margin increase primarily reflected higher net sales volume, improved selling price, product engineering and lower labor costs from COS, and lower raw material costs. Partially offsetting the EBIT and EBIT margin increases is $1.3 million

Table of acquisition costs related to the acquisition of San Jamar.

Matters Impacting Future Results

Sales to CFS’s healthcare market may be impacted by timing of larger equipment orders that can cause year-over-year variances. CFS continues to remain focused on the execution of its strategies of operational excellence and sales growth.  We expect CFS to achieve low single digit sales growth, excluding acquisitions, for the full year 2017. We acquired San Jamar in January of 2017, as previously mentioned. See “Part II—Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Acquisitions” for additional information regarding acquisitions.

2015 Compared to 2014

CFS’s net sales in 2015 declined primarily due to lower net selling price, partially offset by higher net sales volume. Net sales to the foodservice market were unchanged as compared to 2014, due to higher demand in the domestic foodservice market, offset by changes in customer mix and lower international demand in Europe and Asia. Net sales to the healthcare market declined by 5%, primarily due to the non‑recurrence of a large order with a customer in 2014 for rethermalization equipment. Net sales to the janitorial/sanitation market grew by 5%, due to increased sales to retail supercenters.

CFS’s EBIT and EBIT margin declined primarily due to lower selling price associated with selling incentives and higher cost of capitalized inventory recognized in cost of goods sold. These negative impacts were partially offset by lower raw material costs. Included in CFS’s results for 2014 was a gain of $1.1 million on the sale of property in the Netherlands.

Corporate expenses are largely comprised of compensation, benefits, and travel expense for the corporate office staff, business development costs, and certain compliance costs not allocated to the segments. Corporate expenses also includes certain gains and losses related to employee benefit obligations that are not allocated to the segments, such as pension and post‑employment benefit obligation settlements and curtailment charges, as well as, gains and losses associated with workers’ compensation obligations.

2016 Compared to 2015

The increase in corporate expenses primarily reflected increased staff related costs and expenses pertaining to the relocation of administrative functions to our new headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona, as well as an increase in other employee related expenses. As a result of the relocation, we incurred $3.8 million of costs related primarily to employee termination benefits and expenses associated with relocating employees. This relocation is substantially complete as of December 31, 2016. This increase is partially offset by reduced stock-based compensation expense reflecting the change in our CEO on December 31, 2015 and the non-recurrence of $1.4 million in transactions costs related to the acquisition of Finishing Brands in the prior year.  The former CEO’s 2015 awards were fully expensed at grant, due to his attainment of retirement eligibility prior to the award being granted.  The current CEO’s awards are expensed over the service period of three years.

2015 Compared to 2014

Corporate expenses increased from the prior year primarily due to higher staffing costs, performance‑based incentive compensation expense and sponsorship of companywide management programs. In addition, the Company incurred $1.4 million in transaction costs for the acquisition of the Finishing Brands business in the second quarter of 2015, which was reported in Corporate expenses.

Cash outside the U.S. is generally held in deposit accounts with banking institutions that are parties to the facility. The majority of these accounts are at bank subsidiaries that are owned by U.S. corporate banks. Repatriation of cash held by foreign subsidiaries may require the accrual and payment of taxes in the U.S.; however, consistent with our unremitted earnings, we consider such related cash to be permanently reinvested in our foreign operations and our current plans do not demonstrate a need, nor do we plan, to repatriate such cash to fund U.S. operations and financing activities. We plan to continue to invest in our international business and potential acquisitions to achieve our stated goal of 30% of net sales outside of the U.S.

In addition, cash held by subsidiaries in China is subject to local laws and regulations that require government approval for conversion of such cash to and from U.S. Dollars, as well as for transfer of such cash to entities that are outside of China. As

2015 Compared to 2014

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was attributable to increased cash income, resulting from lower raw material costs, cash taxes paid, cash from acquired businesses and an increase in working capital sources of $145.0 million, reflecting cash provided by working capital of $94.6 million in 2015 and cash used of $50.4 million in 2014. Cash provided by changes in accrued expenses totaled $79.9 million in 2015, compared to cash provided of $14.5 million in 2014, and includes differences in usage of cash for tax payments in 2015 versus 2014.

During 2015, the Interconnect Technologies segment spent $34.5 million in capital expenditures, including $7.0 million for the completion of its new manufacturing facility in Nogales, Mexico, as well as other projects tied to product or capacity expansion.

During 2015, cash used in financing activities primarily reflected $137.2 in share repurchases, $72.3 million in dividends paid and $2.9 million in debt repayments, partially offset by net cash inflows related to the exercise of employee stock options of $39.4 million in 2015.corporate developments.

Capital Allocation

Our priorities for the use2020 on an opportunistic basis.

Table of cash are to invest in growth and performance improvement opportunities for our existing businesses and maintain assets through capital expenditures, pursue strategic acquisitions that meet shareholder return criteria, pay dividends to shareholders, and return value to shareholders through share repurchases.

Capital expenditures in 2017 are expected to be between $125 million and $150 million, which primarily includes investments in Construction Materials buildings and expanded manufacturing lines as well as investment in Interconnect Technologies continuing building expansions. The amount of planned expenditures is higher than capital expenditures in 2016 due to planned expenditures for the Construction Materials and Fluid Technologies segments as well as investments by Interconnect Technologies to complete expansion of certain manufacturing capacity. Planned capital expenditures for 2017 include business sustaining projects, cost reduction efforts, and new product expansion. In addition to the planned aforementioned capital expenditures, in January 2017, we utilized cash to fund several acquisitions. We utilized approximately $218 million of cash to purchase San Jamar within our FoodService Products segment, approximately $9 million to purchase a sealant business and approximately $3 million to purchase machinery, equipment and customer relationships within our Construction Materials segment, and approximately $2 million to purchase a business within our Interconnect Technologies segment.

No minimum contributions to our domestic pension plans are required in 2017. However, during 2017 we expect to pay approximately $1.4 million in participant benefits under the executive supplemental and director plans. In light of our plans’ funded status, we do not expect to make any discretionary contributions to our other pension plans in 2017. We did not make any contributions to the domestic pension plans during 2016.

We intend to pay dividends to our shareholders and have increased our dividend rate annually for the past 4043 years.

Pending Acquisition

We repurchased 835,646 shares in 2016 as part of our planOn October 21, 2019, we announced that we submitted an irrevocable and binding offer, and entered into exclusive discussions to return capital to shareholders, utilizing $80.4 million of our cash on hand. As of December 31, 2016, we had authority to repurchase an additional 4,835,689 shares. Shares may be repurchased at management’s direction. Purchases may occur from time‑to‑time in the open market and no maximum purchase price has been set. The Company plans to continue to repurchase shares in 2017 on a systematic basis. The decision to repurchase shares will depend on price, availability, and other corporate developments.

We believe that our cash on hand, operating cash flows, credit facilities, and access to bank financing and capital markets provide adequate liquidity and capital resources to fund ongoing operations, expand existing lines of business, and make strategic acquisitions. In addition, we believe that our liquidity and capital resources from U.S. operations are adequate to fund our U.S. operations and corporate activities without a need to repatriate funds held by subsidiaries outside the U.S. However, the ability to maintain existing credit facilities and access the capital markets can be impacted by economic conditions outside our control, specifically credit market tightness or sustained market downturns. Our cost to borrow and capital market access can be impacted by debt ratings assigned by independent rating agencies, based on certain credit measures such as interest coverage, funds from operations and various leverage ratios.

Future expected interest payments are calculated based on the stated rate for fixed rate debt at December 31, 2016.

The above table does not include $172.0 million of long‑term deferred revenue and $217.0 million of other long‑term liabilities, of which $29.4 million relates to unrecognized income tax benefits. Excluded other long‑term liabilities consist primarily of deferred income tax liabilities and deferred compensation. Due to factors such as the timing of book‑tax difference reversals and retirement of employees, it is not reasonably possible to estimate when these will become due.

The amount of $18.2 million in obligations for workers compensation claims reflects an estimate for claims reported to the Company and incurred but not yet reported. Our estimate and the related timing is based upon actuarial assumptions and loss development factors and historical loss experience. See Note 11 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for further information.

The amount of $259.6 million in defined benefit plan payments reflects undiscounted estimated employee obligations under the Company’s qualified defined benefit pension plans. The estimated obligation is based upon plan provisions, increases to compensation levels and actuarial assumptions and mortality rate trends. Of the $259.6 million in estimated obligations, approximately $224.7 million reflects projected benefit obligations under the Company’s qualified defined benefit plans.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 in1. In preparing the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8. In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company’s management must make informed decisions which impact the reported amounts and related disclosures. Such decisions include the selection of the appropriate accounting principles to be applied and assumptions on which to base estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales andrevenues, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, weWe evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, inventory valuation, deferred revenue and extended product warranties, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, valuation of long-lived assets, and income taxes.  We base ourtaxes on an ongoing basis. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, our observation of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Q3 2016 CBF Reporting Unit

During 2016, the CBF reporting unit continued to experience declining sales due to the overall market conditionslevel, based on a comparison of the industries it serves. The decline is primarily attributable to lowered projected revenues and EBIT margins as a result of lower expectations of recovery in CBF’s various end markets.  Upon review of CBF's 2016 financial performance and its end market projections as of the third quarter of 2016, management determined that a triggering event had occurred. As discussed in Item 2 of the Company’s September 30, 2016 Quarterly Report on 10‑Q under Financial Reporting Segments, we performed an interim goodwill impairment test for the Carlisle Brake & Friction reporting unit as of September 30, 2016. As a result, we concluded that the carrying value of the CBF reporting unit was approximately 25% greater than its fair value.  Management then performed a step two analysis to measure the amount of the impairment. This analysis required management to allocate the fair value of the CBF reporting unit towith its underlying assets and liabilities, both recognized and unrecognized, based on their estimatedcarrying value. Goodwill is tested for impairment via a one-step process by comparing the fair values with any residual amount treated as the implied value of goodwill.  The analysis resulted in the Company recognizing a goodwill impairment charge of $130.0 million in the third quarter of 2016 in income from continuing operations.  The carrying value of goodwill atwith its carrying value. We recognize an impairment for the CBF reporting unit afteramount by which the impairment charge was $96.5 million as of September 30, 2016.

Under this approach, sincean entity may assess qualitative factors as well as relevant events and circumstances to determine whether it is more likely than not that the businessfair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Through the results of our analysis, we determined that comprisesit is not more likely than not that the fair values of the CCM and CIT reporting units were less than their respective carrying values and thus, a quantitative analysis was not performed. The CFT and CBF reporting unit wasunits were tested for impairment as of September 30, 2016. Based on our comparison of estimates of future performance at October 1 and December 31 of 2016 versus our estimates at September 30, 2016, we concludedusing the quantitative approach described above, resulting in fair value that there were no significant changes and therefore no indicators of impairment at such dates. Our estimates of future performance considered factors such as sales growth, expected raw materials pricing, andexceeded the business environmentcarrying value for each of the industries CBF serves. We will continue to evaluate the CBF reporting unit for indicators of impairment on an interim basis. If our adjusted expectations of recovery, both in size and timing, in CBF’s end markets do not materialize, or the WACC increases (based on increases in interest rates, market rates of return, and market volatility), the Company may be required to record additional intangible asset and goodwill impairment charges, which may be material.

Subsequent Measurement of Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
As discussed above, indefinite-lived intangible assets are recognized and recorded at their acquisition-date fair value. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested annually at the appropriate unit of account, which generally equals the individual asset, or more often if impairment indicators are present. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment via a one-step process by comparing the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. We recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the intangible asset's fair value. We generally estimate the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets consistent with the techniques noted above using our expectations about future cash flows, discount rates and royalty rates for purposes of the annual test. We monitor for significant changes in those assumptions during interim reporting periods. We also periodically re-assess indefinite-lived intangible assets as to whether its useful lives can be determined, and if so, we would begin amortizing any applicable intangible asset.

Long-lived assets or asset groups, including amortizable intangible assets, are tested for impairmentrecoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable.group. For purposes of testing for impairment, we group our long‑livedlong-lived assets classified as held and used at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets and liabilities.liabilities, which means that in many cases multiple assets are tested for recovery as a group. Our asset groupings vary based on the related business in which the long‑lived asset islong-lived assets are employed and the interrelationship between those long‑livedlong-lived assets in producing net cash flows; for example, multiple manufacturing facilities may work in concert with one another or may work on a stand‑alonestand-alone basis to produce net cash flows. We utilize our long‑livedlong-lived assets in multiple industries and economic environments and our asset grouping reflectsgroupings reflect these various factors.

Table of Contents

We monitor the operating and cash flow results of our long‑livedlong-lived assets or asset groups classified as held and used to identify whether events and circumstances indicate the remaining useful lives of those assets should be adjusted, or if the carrying value of those assets or asset groups may not be recoverable. In the event indicators of impairment are identified, undiscountedUndiscounted estimated future cash flows are compared to the carrying value of the long‑livedlong-lived asset or asset group in the event indicators of impairment are identified. In developing our estimates of future undiscounted cash flows, we utilize our internal estimates of future revenues, costs and other net cash flows from operating the long-lived asset or asset group over the life of the asset or primary asset, if an asset group. This requires us to make judgments about future levels of sales volume, pricing, raw material costs and other operating expenses.
If the undiscounted estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount, we determine the fair value of the asset or asset group and record an impairment charge in current earnings to the extent carrying value exceeds fair value. Fair values may be determined based on estimated discounted cash flows, by prices for like or similar assets in similar markets or a combination of both. There are currently no long‑livedlong-lived assets or asset groups classified as held and used for which the related undiscounted cash flows do not substantially exceed their carrying amounts.

Long‑livedthere were indicators of impairment that would require a recoverability test.

Long-lived assets or asset groups that are part of a disposal group that meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale are not assessed for impairment, but rather a loss on sale is recorded against the disposal group if fair value, less cost to sell, of the disposal group is less than its carrying value, a loss on sale is recorded againstvalue. If the disposal group.

group’s fair value exceeds its carrying value, we record a gain, assuming all other criteria for a sale are met, when the transaction closes.

On March 20, 2018, we completed the sale of our CFS operations. Refer to Note 4 for more information regarding the gain on sale.
Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue

Beginning January 1, 2018, we began recognizing revenues under the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). Revenue is recognized when all of the criteriaobligations under current U.S. GAAP are met. Those include:

·

pervasive evidence of an arrangement exists,

·

delivery has occurred,

·

the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss,

·

collection is probable at the time of sale, and

·

the sales price is fixed or determinable.

36


The first four criteria are generally a matter of fact based on the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our products or services. Revenue is measured as the amount of total consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Total expected consideration, in certain cases, is estimated at each reporting period, including interim periods, and conditions of sale alongis subject to change with estimates of delivery times for those sales with delivery terms, and an assessment ofvariability dependent on future events, such as customer credit risk at the time of sale. The most critical judgments involved in revenue recognition are primarily thosebehavior related to concluding that the sales price is determinable. We offer variousfuture purchase volumes, returns, early payment discounts rebates, and other incentivescustomer allowances. Estimates for rights of return, discounts and rebates to our customers, primarilyand other adjustments for competitive reasons. We estimate the impact of these itemsvariable consideration are provided for at the time of sale as a deduction to revenue, based on an analysis of historical experience and actual sales data. Changes in these estimates are reflected as an adjustment to revenue in the period identified. Sales, value added and other taxes collected concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

We receive payment at the inception of the contract for separately priced extended service warranties, and revenue is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contracts. The term of these warranties ranges from five to 40 years. The weighted average life of the contracts as of December 31, 2019, is approximately 19 years.
Additionally, critical judgments and estimates related to revenue recognition relative to certain customer contracts in our CIT segment, in which CIT is a contract manufacturer or where CIT has entered into an agreement to provide both services (engineering and design) and products resulting from those services, include the following:
Determination of whether revenue is earned at a "point-in-time" or "over time": Where contracts provide for the manufacture of highly customized products with no alternative use and provide CIT the right to payment for work performed to date, including a normal margin for that effort, we have concluded those contracts require the recognition of revenue over time.
Measurement of revenue using the key inputs of expected gross margin and inventory in our possession. We utilize an estimate of expected gross margin based on historical margin patterns and management’s experience, which vary based on the customers and end markets being evaluated. There are multiple unique customer contracts at CIT. Accordingly, the estimate of expected margin is done for each customer discretely. We review the margins for these categories as contracts, customers and product profiles change over time to ensure that the margin expectations reflect the best available data for each category.

Income Taxes
Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best estimate of current and future taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates are required in the determination of the ultimate price collected for similar transactions with similar customers, industries,consolidated income tax expense.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and geographic markets, adjusted based on any known eventsliabilities and its reported amounts in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or conditions that would suggest a different outcome. deductible amounts in the future. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets in the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations.
We believe that it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain U.S. federal, state and foreign net operating loss ("NOL"), and credit carryforwards will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, we have sufficient historyprovided a valuation allowance of $5.3 million on the deferred tax assets related to these carryforwards.
We (1) record unrecognized tax benefits as liabilities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740") and other(2) adjust these liabilities when our judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information available to produce a reliable estimate and conclude thatnot previously available. Because of the price is determinable at the timecomplexity of sale. We reflect the impactsome of these various discounts and incentivesuncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. These differences will be reflected as a reduction of revenue atincreases or decreases to income tax expense in the time of sale and subsequently adjust the initial estimate asperiod in which new information becomesis available.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value (“NVR”) with cost determined primarily on an average cost basis. Cost of inventories includes direct as well as certain indirect costs associated with the acquisition and production process. These costs include raw materials, direct and indirect labor, and manufacturing overhead. Manufacturing overhead includes materials, depreciation and amortization related to property, plant, and equipment and other intangible assets used directly and indirectly in the acquisition and production of inventory, costs related to our distribution network such as inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, internal transfer costs, and other such costs associated with preparing our products for sale.

Under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), net realizable value is defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The estimates that are subject to uncertainty include estimates of selling prices, costs of completion and disposal, and the levels of excess and obsolete inventory. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand for indicators that cost may exceed net realizable value. These indicators include excess and obsolete inventory and trends in raw material costs or selling prices. The Company utilizes historical write‑off information as well as forecasted selling prices to determine if market is below cost. At year end, if any reserves are recorded, they are not reversed and NRV is established as the inventory’s new cost basis. In general, we perform the test described above at a product level.

Deferred Revenue and

Extended Product Warranty

Reserves

We offer extended warranty contracts on sales of certain products, the most significant being those offered on our installed roofing systems within the Construction MaterialsCCM segment. The lives of these warranties range from five to 40 years. All revenue from the sale of these contracts is deferred and amortized on a straight‑line basis over the life of the contracts. Current costs of services performed under these contracts are expensed as incurred. We also record an additional loss and a corresponding reserve if the total expected costs of providing services under the contract at a product line level exceed unearnedunamortized deferred revenues equal to such excess. We estimate total expected warranty costs using quantitative measures based onactuarially derived estimates of future costs of servicing the warranties. The key inputs that are utilized to develop these estimates include historical claims experience by type of roofing membrane, location, and management judgment.

Pension

We maintain defined benefit retirement plans for certain domestic employees. All plans are frozen to new entrants, with the exceptionlabor and material costs. The estimates of the executive supplementalvolume and director defined benefit pension plans. The net periodic benefit costseverity of these claims and projected benefit obligationsassociated costs are dependent upon the above assumptions and future results could differ from our current expectations. We currently do not have any material loss reserves recorded associated with our extended product warranties.

Items Affecting Comparability
Items affecting comparability include costs, and losses or gains related to, among other things, growth and profitability improvement initiatives and other events outside of core business operations (such as asset impairments, exit and disposal and facility rationalization charges, costs of and related to acquisitions, litigation settlement costs, gains and losses from and costs related to divestitures, and non-comparable tax items). Because these plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis. This determination requires assumptions to be made concerning general economic conditions (particularly interest rates), expected return on plan assets, increases to compensation levels and mortality rate trends. These assumptions are reviewed by management in consultation withitems affect our, independent actuary and investment manager. Changes in the assumptions to reflect actual experience may resultor any particular operating segment's, financial condition or results in a changespecific period in the net periodic benefit cost and projected benefit obligations.

37


Beginning in 2016, we moved from utilizing a weighted‑average discount rate, which was derived from the yield curve used to measure the benefit obligation at the beginning of the period, to a spot yield rate curve to estimate the projected benefit obligation and net periodic benefit costs. The change in estimate provides a more accurate measurement of service and interest costs by applying the spot rate that could be used to settle each projected cash flow individually. This change in estimate did not have a material effect on net periodic benefit costs for 2016.

The defined benefit retirement plan assets consist primarily of fixed income and equity securities, whichthey are considered Level 1 assets under the fair value hierarchy. We use the market related valuation method to determine the value of plan assets, which recognizes the change of the fair value of the plan assets over five years. If actual experience differs from these long‑term assumptions, the difference is recorded as an unrecognized actuarial gain (loss) and then amortized into earnings over the average remaining future service period, which may cause the expense related to providing these benefits to increase or decrease.

The weighted‑average expected rate of return on plan assets was 6.30% for the 2017 benefit cost. While we believe this is a reasonable expectation based on the plan assets’ mix of fixed income and equity investments, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in the assumptions used may materially affect future benefit obligations and expense. The effect of a 0.25% increase or decrease in the expected rate of return would cause our estimated 2017 net periodic benefit cost to be approximately $0.4 million lower or higher.

The assumed weighted‑average discount rate was 3.86% for the 2016 valuation. The effects of a 0.25% increase or decrease in the assumed discount rate would cause our projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2016 to be approximately $3.7 million lower or $3.6 million higher, respectively.

We used a weighted‑average assumed rate of compensation increase of 3.82% for the 2016 valuation. This rate is not expected to change in the foreseeable future and is based on our actual rate of compensation increase over the past several years, adjusted to reflect management’s expectations regarding future labor costs.

See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for more information regarding our retirement plans.

Income Taxes

We record income taxes including an estimate of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized, in our financial statements or tax returns.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. We periodically assess the realizability of deferred tax assets and the adequacy of deferred tax liabilities.

Realization of deferred tax assets involves estimates regarding (1) the timing and amount of the reversal of taxable temporary differences, (2) expected future taxable income, and (3) the impact of tax planning strategies. We believe that it is more likely than not that we may not realize the benefit of certain deferred tax assets and, accordingly, have established a valuation allowance against them. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including past operating results, projections of future taxable income and the feasibility of and potential changes to ongoing tax planning strategies. Although realization is not assured for the remaining deferred tax assets, we believe it is more likely than not thatappropriate to present the remaining deferredtotal of these items to provide information regarding the comparability of results of operations period to period.

Cash Flows
Our priorities for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance issued by the FASB, including industry specific guidance.   ASU 2014-09 provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts with customers to provide goods and services.  The guidance also provides a model for the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain nonfinancial assets, such as property and equipment, including real estate. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017.  The new standard must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2014-09 also requires entities to disclose both quantitative and qualitative information to enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. 

We have engaged a third-party consultant to assist with our assessment of the impact of the new revenue guidance on our operations. To date, this assessment has included utilizing questionnaires to assist with (1) identifying our revenue streams, (2) performing sample contract analyses, and (3) assessing the identified differences in recognition and measurement that may result from adopting this ASU. Based on the evaluation to date, we do not anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our reported current net sales, however, given our acquisition strategy within diverse business segments, there may be additional revenue streams acquired prior to the adoption date. Our technical analysis is on-going with respect to separately-priced extended-warranty contracts, variable consideration, whether certain contracts’ revenues will be recognized over time or at a point in time, and whether costs to obtain a contract will be capitalized. Further, we are continuing to assess what incremental disaggregated revenue disclosures will be required in our consolidated financial statements. We continue to evaluate transition methods, and expect to finalize our determination once all other significant matters are concluded on.    

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Accounting for Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments, measured at the present value on a discounted basis, and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the duration of the lease term, measured at the lease liability amount adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received and initial direct costs.  The lease liability and ROU asset are recognized in the balance sheet at the commencement of the lease.  For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance.  Operating leases will result in straight line expense while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern. Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, and requires the use of a modified retrospective approachcash are to invest in growth and performance improvement opportunities for leasesour existing businesses through capital expenditures, pursue strategic acquisitions that exist ormeet shareholder return criteria, pay dividends to shareholders and return value to shareholders through share repurchases.

Capital expenditures in 2020 are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.  Early application of the ASU is permitted.  We have not yet determined the impact of adopting the standard on our consolidated financial statements. 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.  The ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for stock compensation.

·

On a prospective basis, all income tax effects of awards should be recognized in the statement of operations as tax expense or benefit at the time that the awards vest or are settled, rather than recording excess tax benefit and certain deficiencies in additional paid in capital, and eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized through a reduction in income taxes payable before they can be recognized. 

·

Awards may be classified as equity when an employer withholds the maximum amount of taxes on behalf of the employee.  This aspect is to be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method, with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings.  The cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy the tax withholding obligation should be classified as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows on a retrospective basis. 

39


·

Companies are required to elect the method of accounting for forfeitures of share-based payments, either by recognizing such forfeitures as they occur or estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting such estimate when it is deemed likely to change.  This aspect is to be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method, with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings.

ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2016.  We adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2017, and have elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur.  The related financial statement impacts of adopting the above aspects of this ASU are not expected to be material, however, depending on several factors such as the market price of the Company’s common stock, employee exercise behavior and corporate income tax rates, the excess tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted and performance shares could generate a significant discrete income tax benefit in a particular interim period potentially creating volatility in net income and earnings per share period-to-period and period-over-period.  We do not expect, based on the existing amounts of vested and unvested stock compensation awards, that the impact will be material to the Company’s net income and earnings-per-share on an annual basis.  In 2016 and 2015, we recognized in additional-paid-in-capital approximately $18.8between $100 million and $15.9$120 million, of excess tax benefits, under current accounting guidance, related to stock-based compensation.  If this ASU had been adoptedwhich primarily includes continued investments in 2015, the amounts would have been reflected as aCCM and CIT facilities. Planned capital expenditures for 2020 include business sustaining projects, cost reduction to income tax expense in those periods. 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receiptsefforts and Cash Payments, which provides guidance on reducing the diversity in practice on eight specific cash flow matters and how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including an adoption in an interim period. We have not yet determined the impact of adopting the standard on our consolidated financial statements. However, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. As this standard is prospective in nature, the impact to our financial statements will depend on the nature of our future acquisitions.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, which measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount. Instead, entities should perform annual or interim goodwill impairment tests by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the excess of carrying amount over the fair value of the respective reporting unit. The guidance is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application of the ASU is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company intends to early adopt this ASU effective January 1, 2017. As this standard is prospective in nature, the impact to our financial statements by not performing step 2 to measure the amount of any potential goodwill impairment will depend on various factors. However, the elimination of step 2 will reduce the complexity and cost of the subsequent measurement of goodwill.

Forward-Looking Statements

Forward‑Looking Statements

This report contains forward‑lookingforward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward‑lookingForward-looking statements generally use words such as “expect,” “foresee,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “project,” “should,” “estimate,” “will,” “plans”, “forecast”“plans,” “forecast,” and similar expressions, and reflect our expectations concerning the future. Such statements are made based on known events and circumstances at the time of publication and, as such, are subject in the future to unforeseen risks and uncertainties. It is possible that our future performance may differ materially from current expectations expressed in these forward‑lookingforward-looking statements, due to a variety of factors such as: increasing price and product/service competition by foreign and domestic competitors, including new entrants; technological developments and changes; the ability to continue to introduce competitive new products and services on a timely, cost‑effectivecost-effective basis; our mix of products/services; increases in raw material costs which cannot be recovered in product pricing; domestic and foreign governmental and public policy changes including environmental and industry regulations; threats associated with and efforts to combat terrorism; protection and validity of patent and other intellectual property rights; the successful integration and identification of our strategic acquisitions; the cyclical nature of our businesses; and the outcome of pending and future litigation and governmental proceedings. In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions and growth rates, the condition of the financial and credit markets and general domestic and international economic conditions including interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations. Further, any conflict in the international arena may adversely affect general market conditions and our future performance. We undertake no duty to update forward‑lookingforward-looking statements.

Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk in the form of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices for raw materials. We may, from time to time, enter into derivative financial instruments to manage these risks; however, we do not utilize such instruments or contracts for speculative or trading purposes. In the event that we enter into a derivative financial instrument, it is possible that such future dated contracts could no longer serve as a hedge if the projected cash flow does not occur as anticipated at the time of contract initiation.

Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risks as a result of our borrowing and investing activities, which principally includes long‑termlong-term borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund our business operations and capital requirements. FromWe may enter into interest rate swaps from time to time to manage our mix of fixed and variable interest rate debt effectively, weeffectively. We may enter into other interest rate swaps.derivatives such as treasury locks or zero cost collars to manage forecasted interest rates associated with bond offerings. As of December 31, 20162019, and 20152018, there were no interest rate swaps or other derivative instruments in place and, at both dates, all of our long‑termlong-term debt (including the current portion) was fixed‑ratefixed-rate and U.S. Dollar denominated. We also have a $600 million$1.0 billion revolving credit facility that allows for borrowings at a variable interest rate. We had no outstanding borrowings under this facility as of December 31, 20162019 and 2015.2018. The nature and amount of our long‑termlong-term debt may vary from time to time as a result of business requirements, market conditions and other factors. We consider the risk to our results of operations from changes in market rates of interest to be minimal as suchour interest bearing debt instruments are fixed‑rate.

As a multi‑national company, afixed-rate. 

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
A portion of our operating cash flows are denominated in foreign currencies, and ascurrencies. As such we are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We are primarily exposed to the exchange rates of currencies including the Canadian Dollar, Chinese Renminbi, Euro, British Pound, Canadian Dollar and Japanese Yen. We continually evaluate our foreign currency exposure based on current market conditions and the locations in which we conduct our business. We manage most of our foreign currency exposure on a consolidated basis, which allows us to net certain exposures and take advantage of natural offsets. In order to mitigate foreign currency risk, we may, from time to time, enter into derivative financial instruments, generally foreign currency forward contracts, to hedge the cash flows related to certain foreign currency denominated sales and purchase transactions expected within one year and the related recognized trade receivable or payable. The gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the value of the related exposures. It is our policy to enter into foreign currency derivative financial instruments only to the extent considered necessary to meet the objectives set forth above. We generally do not hedge the risk from translation of sales and earningsforeign currency net investments into U.S. Dollars for financial reporting.

ForWe had foreign exchange contracts with maturities less than one year for instruments that are designated and qualify as an accounting cash flow hedge the Company had foreign exchange contracts with maturities less than one year and an aggregate U.S. Dollar equivalent notional value of $17.6$108.1 million atand $95.0 million as of December 31, 2016.2019 and 2018, respectively. The gross fair value was insignificant at December 31, 2016. No instruments were outstanding$2.0 million and $0.2 million as of December 31, 2015.2019 and 2018, respectively. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the contracts is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the Statements of Shareholders’ Equity(loss) and is recognized in operating income when the underlying forecasted transaction impacts earnings. ForWe also had foreign exchange contracts with maturities less than one year for instruments that are not designed as a cash flow hedge, but nonetheless are entered into as an economic hedge of certain foreign currency risk the Company had foreign exchange contracts with maturities less than one year and an aggregate U.S. Dollar equivalent notional value of $39.3$124.4 million and $6.1$49.9 million atas of December 31, 20162019 and December 31, 2015,2018, respectively. The gross fair value was insignificant at$0.6 million and $0.1 million as of December 31, 20162019 and December 31, 2015.2018, respectively. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from these contracts are not significant and are recognized in other non-operating expense, net within the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income and partially offset corresponding foreign exchange gains and losses on the underlying items being economically hedged.

The near termnear-term sensitivity of these contracts to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is also minimal as they are scheduled to mature within 12 months. Further, changes in the fair value of these contracts will be offset by changes in the cash flows of the underlying foreign currency denominated sales, purchases, assets and liabilities which the contracts are intended to mitigate (both accounting and economic hedges).

Commodity Price Risk
We continually address the impact of changes in commodity prices on our results of operations and cash flow. Our exposure to changes in commodity prices is principally indirect as we do not directly purchase exchange‑tradedexchange-traded commodities, but rather purchase raw materials that are a result of further downstream processing (as noted in Item 1 of this Form 10‑K)10-K), primarily inputs resulting from processing crude oil, natural gas, iron ore, gold, silver and copper. We generally manage the risk of changes in commodity prices that impact our raw material costs by seeking to (1)(i) offset increased costs through increases in prices, (2)(ii) alter the nature and mix of raw materials used to manufacture our finished goods or (3)(iii) enter into commodity‑linkedcommodity-linked sales or purchase contracts, all to the extent possible based on competitive and other economic factors. We may also from time to time enter into derivative financial instruments to mitigate such impact however, atas of December 31, 20162019 and 20152018 we had no derivative financial instruments in place.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includesmisstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence supportingregarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Goodwill – CFT and CBF Reporting Units – Refer to Notes 1 and 12 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units using the income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method and market approach utilizing the public company market multiple method. The determination of the fair value using the discounted cash flow method requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margins, and discount rates. The determination of the fair value using the market approach requires management to make significant assumptions related to market revenue multiples and EBITDA multiples from within a comparable industry group. The fair values of the CFT and CBF reporting units exceeded their carrying values as of the measurement date and, therefore, no impairment was recognized.
Given the significant judgments management makes to estimate the fair value of the CFT and CBF reporting units, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenues and operating unit EBITDA margins, selection of the discount rates, and the selection of multiples applied to revenue and EBITDA required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.

Table of Contents

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the forecasts of future revenues and operating unit EBITDA margins (“forecasts”), the selection of discount rates, and the selection of comparable market revenue and EBITDA multiples for the CFT and CBF reporting units included the following procedures:
We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s goodwill impairment evaluation, including those over the determination of the fair value of CFT and CBF, such as controls related to management’s forecasts and selection of discount rates.
We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast by comparing actual results to management’s historical forecasts.
We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecasts by comparing the forecasts to (1) historical results of the Company and its competitors, (2) internal communications to management, and (3) forecasted information included in industry reports of the Company and companies in its peer group.
With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the discount rates, including testing the underlying source information and the mathematical accuracy of the calculations, and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rates selected by management.
With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the revenue and EBITDA multiples, including testing the underlying source information and mathematical accuracy of the calculations, and evaluating the appropriateness of the Company’s selection of companies in its industry comparable groups.
Acquisitions – Petersen Aluminum Corporation and Providien, LLC – Customer Relationships Intangible Asset – Refer to Notes 1 and 3 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company completed the acquisitions of Petersen Aluminum Corporation (“Petersen”) for $207.2 million on January 11, 2019 and Providien, LLC (“Providien”) for $332.1 million on November 20, 2019. The Company accounted for the acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, including customer relationships of $79.7 million and $111.7 million for Petersen and Providien, respectively. The Company has not yet finalized the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets, intangible assets and liabilities acquired for the Providien acquisition. Management estimated the fair value of Petersen and Providien customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a specific discounted cash flow method. The fair value determination of the customer relationships required management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to future cash flows and the selection of the discount rate.
Given the fair value determination of customer relationships for Petersen and Providien requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to the forecasts of future cash flows and the selection of the discount rate, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the forecasts of future cash flows and the selection of the discount rate for the customer relationships included the following, among others:
We tested the effectiveness of controls over the valuation of the customer relationships, including management’s controls over forecasts of future cash flows and selection of the discount rate.
With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the (1) valuation methodology and (2) discount rate by:
Testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rate and testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculation.
Developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rate selected by management.
We evaluated whether the estimated future cash flows were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit and compared projections to historical results and peer companies.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Carlisle Companies Incorporated

We have audited Carlisle Companies Incorporated’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). Carlisle Companies Incorporated’sExcluded Acquisitions.

Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’sCompany’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1—Summary of Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

Carlisle Companies Incorporated, its wholly owned subsidiaries and their subsidiaries, referred to herein as the “Company” or “Carlisle,” is a global diversified company that designs, manufactures and markets a wide range of products that serve a broad range of markets including commercial roofing, energy, agriculture, mining, construction, aerospace and defense electronics, medical technology, transportation, general industrial, protective coatings, wood and auto refinishing, foodservice, and healthcare and sanitary maintenance.refinishing. The Company markets its products as a component supplier to original equipment manufacturers, distributors as well asand directly to end-users.

Basis of Consolidation

Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year‑end is December 31.

Company has reclassified certain prior periods' amounts to conform with the current period presentation of interest expense, net, and interest income on the Consolidated Statement of Income and proceeds from exercise of stock options, net, and withholding tax paid related to stock-based compensation on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“United States” or “U.S.”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents

Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired are considered cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, goods have been shipped (or services have been rendered), the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection is probable, and the sales price is fixed or determinable.

Provisions for rights of return, discounts, and rebates to customers and other adjustments are provided for at the time of sale as a deduction to revenue. Costs related to standard warranties are estimated at the time of sale and recorded as a component of cost of goods sold.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Costs incurred to physically transfer product to customer locations are recorded as a component of cost of goods sold. Charges passed on to customers are recorded into net sales.

49


Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Receivables are stated at net realizable value. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its customers’ current creditworthiness, as determined by the review of their credit information to determine if events have occurred subsequent to the recognition of the revenue and related receivable that provides evidence that such receivable will be realized at an amount less than that recognized at the time of sale. Estimates of net realizable value are based on historical losses, adjusting for current economic conditions and, in some cases, evaluating specific customer accounts for risk of loss. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $4.0 million at December 31, 2016, $4.7 million at December 31, 2015, and $4.8 million at December 31, 2014. Changes in economic conditions in specific markets in which the Company operates could have an effect on reserve balances required and on the ability to recognize revenue until cash is collected or collectability is probable.

The following is activity in the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31:

Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value with cost determined primarily on an average cost basis. See “New Accounting Standards Adopted” herein for further information related to adoption of pronouncements related to inventories. Cost of inventories includes direct as well as certain indirect costs associated with the acquisition and production process. These costs include raw materials, direct and indirect labor, and manufacturing overhead. Manufacturing overhead includes materials, depreciation and amortization related to property, plant, and equipment and other intangible assets used directly and indirectly in the acquisition and production of inventory, and costs related to the Company’s distribution network such as inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, internal transfer costs, and other such costs associated with preparing the Company’s products for sale.

Deferred Revenue and Extended Product Warranty

The Company offers extended warranty contracts on sales of certain products; the most significant being those offered on its installed roofing systems within the Construction Materials segment. The term of these warranties range from five to 40 years. All revenue for the sale of these contracts is deferred and amortized on a straight‑line basis over the life of the contracts. The weighted average life of the contracts is approximately 19 years. Current costs of services performed under these contracts are expensed as incurred and included in cost of goods sold. The Company would record a reserve within accrued expenses if the total expected costs of providing services at a product line level exceed unearned revenues. Total expected costs of providing extended product warranty services are actuarially determined using standard quantitative measures based on historical claims experience and management judgment. See Note 14 for additional information regarding deferred revenue and extended product warranties.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost including interest costs associated with qualifying capital additions. Costs allocated to property, plant, and equipment of acquired companies are based on estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. Depreciation is principally computed on a straight‑line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation includes the amortization of capital leases. Asset lives are generally 20 to 40 years for buildings, five to 15 years for machinery and equipment, and two to 20 years for leasehold improvements. Leasehold improvements are amortized based on the underlying lease term, or the asset’s estimated useful life, whichever is shorter.

50


Valuation of Long‑Lived Assets

Long‑lived assets or asset groups, including amortizable intangible assets, are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. For purposes of testing for impairment, the Company groups its long‑lived assets classified as held and used at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets and liabilities. The Company’s asset groupings vary based on the related business in which the long‑lived asset is employed and the interrelationship between those long‑lived assets in producing net cash flows; for example, multiple manufacturing facilities may work in concert with one another or may work on a stand‑alone basis to produce net cash flows. The Company utilizes its long‑lived assets in multiple industries and economic environments and its asset groupings reflect these various factors.

The Company monitors the operating and cash flow results of its long‑lived assets or asset groups classified as held and used to identify whether events and circumstances indicate the remaining useful lives of those assets should be adjusted or if the carrying value of those assets or asset groups may not be recoverable. In the event indicators of impairment are identified, undiscounted estimated future cash flows are compared to the carrying value of the long‑lived asset or asset group. If the undiscounted estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount, the Company determines the fair value of the asset or asset group and records an impairment charge in current earnings to the extent carrying value exceeds fair value. Fair values may be determined based on estimated discounted cash flows, by prices for like or similar assets in similar markets, or a combination of both.

Long‑lived assets or asset groups that are part of a disposal group that meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale are not assessed for impairment but rather if fair value, less cost to sell, of the disposal group is less than its carrying value a loss is recorded against the disposal group.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recognized and recorded at their acquisition date fair values. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Definite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of acquired customer relationships and patents, non-compete agreements, and intellectual property.  The Company determines the useful life of its customer relationship intangible assets based on multiple factors including the size and make-up of the acquired customer base, the expected dissipation of those customers over time, the Company’s own experience in the particular industry, the impact of known trends such as technological obsolescence, product demand or other factors, and the period over which expected cash flows are used to measure the fair value of the intangible asset at acquisition.  The Company periodically re-assesses the useful lives of its customer relationship intangible assets when events or circumstances indicate that useful lives have significantly changed from the previous estimate.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested annually, or more often if impairment indicators are present, for impairment via a one-step process by comparing the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the intangible asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded in current earnings for the difference. The Company estimates the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets based on the income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method. The Company’s annual testing date for indefinite-lived intangible assets is October 1. The Company periodically re-assesses indefinite-lived intangible assets as to whether their useful lives can be determined and, if so, begins amortizing any applicable intangible asset.

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually, or more often if impairment indicators are present, for impairment at a reporting unit level. The Company’s annual testing date for goodwill is October 1. The Company has determined that its operating segments are its reporting units. 

See Note 10 for additional information regarding goodwill and other intangible assets.

51


Lease Arrangements

The Company is a party to various lease arrangements that include scheduled rent increases, rent holidays, or may provide for contingent rentals or incentive payments to be made to the Company as part of the terms of the lease. Scheduled rent increases and rent holidays are included in the determination of minimum lease payments when assessing lease classification and, along with any lease incentives, are included in rent expense on a straight‑line basis over the lease term. Scheduled rent increases that are dependent upon a change in an index or rate such as the consumer price index or prime rate are included in the determination of rental expense at the time the rate or index changes. Contingent rentals are excluded from the determination of minimum lease payments when assessing lease classification and are included in the determination of rent expense when the event that will require additional rents is considered probable. See Note 11 for additional information regarding rent expense.

Contingencies and Insurance Recoveries

The Company is exposed to losses related to various potential claims related to its employee obligations and other matters in the normal course of business, including litigation. The Company records a liability related to such potential claims, both those reported to the Company and incurred but not yet reported, when probable and reasonably estimable, and with respect to workers’ compensation obligations. The Company utilizes actuarial models to estimate the ultimate total cost of such claims, primarily based on historical loss experience and expectations about future costs of providing workers’ compensation benefits.

As part of its risk management strategy, the Company maintains occurrence‑based insurance contracts related to certain contingent losses primarily workers’ compensation, medical and dental, general liability, property, and product liability claims up to applicable retention limits. The Company records a recovery under these insurance contracts when such recovery is deemed probable. See Note 11 for additional information regarding contingencies and insurance recoveries.

Pension

The Company maintains defined benefit pension plans primarily for certain domestic employees. The annual net periodic benefit cost and projected benefit obligations related to these plans are determined on an actuarial basis annually on December 31, unless a remeasurement event occurs in an interim period. This determination requires assumptions to be made concerning general economic conditions (particularly interest rates), expected return on plan assets, increases to compensation levels, and mortality rate trends. These assumptions are reviewed periodically by management in consultation with its independent actuary. Changes in the assumptions to reflect actual experience can result in a change in the net periodic benefit cost and projected benefit obligations.

The defined benefit pension plans’ assets are measured at fair value annually on December 31, unless a remeasurement event occurs in an interim period. The Company uses the market related valuation method to determine the value of plan assets for purposes of determining the expected return on plan assets component of net periodic benefit cost.  The market related valuation method recognizes the change of the fair value of the plan assets over five years. If actual experience differs from these long-term assumptions, the difference is recorded as an actuarial gain (loss) and then amortized into earnings over a period of time based on the average future service period, which may cause the expense related to providing these benefits to increase or decrease.  See Note 13 for additional information regarding these plans and the associated plan assets.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, IncomeTaxes, which includes an estimate of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  See Note 6 for additional information regarding income taxes.

52


Stock‑Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock‑based compensation under the fair‑value method. Accordingly, equity classified stock‑based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which generally matches the stated vesting period of the award but may also be shorter if the employee is retirement‑eligible and under the award’s terms may fully‑vest upon retirement from the Company. The Company recognizes expense for awards that have graded vesting features under the graded vesting method, which considers each separately vesting tranche as though they were, in substance, multiple awards. See Note 5 for additional information regarding stock-based compensation.

Foreign Currency Matters

The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries outside the United States is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated to the U.S. Dollar at the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions and from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities and associated income statement activity of foreign subsidiaries where the functional currency is the U.S. Dollar and the records are maintained in the local currency are included in other (income)non-operating expense, net.

Discontinued Operations
The results of operations for the Company's Carlisle FoodService Products ("CFS") segment have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Refer to Note 4 for additional information. 
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the Company’s products or services. Revenue is measured as the amount of total consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Total expected consideration, in certain cases, is estimated at each reporting period, including interim periods, and is subject to change with variability dependent on future events, such as customer behavior related to future purchase volumes, returns, early payment discounts and other customer allowances. Estimates for rights of return, discounts and rebates to customers and other adjustments for variable consideration are provided for at the time of sale as a deduction to revenue, based on an analysis of historical experience and actual sales data. Changes in these estimates are reflected as an adjustment to revenue in the period identified. Sales, value added and other taxes collected concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.
The Company receives payment at the inception of the contract for separately priced extended service warranties, and revenue is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contracts. The term of these
39

Table of Contents

warranties ranges from five to 40 years. The weighted average life of the contracts as of December 31, 2019, is approximately 19 years.
The Company recognizes revenue over-time for certain contracts that provide for the manufacture of highly customized products with no alternative use and provide the Company the right to payment for work performed to date, including a normal margin for that effort.
Refer to Note 6 for further information on revenue recognition. 
Costs to Obtain a Contract
Costs of obtaining or fulfilling a contract are recognized as expense as incurred, as the amortization period of these costs would be one year or less. These costs generally include sales commissions and are included in selling, general and administrative costs.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Costs incurred to physically transfer product to customer locations are recorded as a component of cost of goods sold. Charges passed on to customers are recorded into revenues.
Other Non-operating Expense, net
Other non-operating expense, net primarily includes foreign currency exchange (gains) losses, indemnification (gains) losses associated with acquired businesses, (income) loss from equity method investments and (gains) losses on sales of a business.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the fair-value method. Accordingly, equity-classified stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period. The requisite service period generally matches the stated vesting period of the award but may be shorter if the employee is retirement-eligible and, under the award’s terms, may fully vest upon retirement from the Company. The Company recognizes compensation cost for awards that have graded vesting features under the graded vesting method, which considers each separately vesting tranche as though they were, in substance, multiple awards.
Additionally, the Company accounts for liability-classified stock-based compensation cost under the fair value method, with the fair value of the award remeasured as of the date of the financial position. The Company recognizes compensation cost over the requisite service period based on the remeasured fair value of the award. The requisite service period generally matches the stated vesting period of the award but may be shorter if the employee is retirement-eligible and, under the award’s terms, may fully vest upon retirement from the Company.
The Company also accounts for forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur. Refer to Note 7 for additional information regarding stock-based compensation.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are recorded in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, IncomeTaxes, which includes an estimate of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. 
Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired are considered cash equivalents.
Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Receivables are stated at net realizable value. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its customers’ current creditworthiness, as determined by the review of its credit information to determine if events have occurred subsequent to the recognition of the revenue and related receivable that provides evidence that such receivable will

be realized at an amount less than that recognized at the time of sale. Estimates of net realizable value are based on historical losses, adjusting for current economic conditions and, in some cases, evaluating specific customer accounts for risk of loss. Changes in economic conditions in specific markets in which the Company operates could have an effect on reserve balances required and on the ability to recognize revenue until cash is collected or collectability is probable.

Inventories
Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value with cost determined primarily on an average cost basis. Cost of inventories includes direct as well as certain indirect costs associated with the acquisition and production process. These costs include raw materials, direct and indirect labor and manufacturing overhead. Manufacturing overhead includes materials, depreciation and amortization related to property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets used directly and indirectly in the acquisition and production of inventory, and costs related to the Company’s distribution network such as inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, internal transfer costs and other such costs associated with preparing the Company’s products for sale. Refer to Note 10 for further information regarding inventories.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost including interest costs associated with qualifying capital additions. Costs allocated to property, plant and equipment of acquired companies are based on estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. Depreciation is principally computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Asset lives are generally 20 to 40 years for buildings, five to 15 years for machinery and equipment and two to 20 years for leasehold improvements. Leasehold improvements are amortized based on the shorter of the underlying lease term or the asset’s estimated useful life. Refer to Note 11 for further information regarding property, plant and equipment. 
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets or asset groups, including amortizable intangible assets, are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The Company groups its long-lived assets classified as held and used at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets and liabilities for purposes of testing for impairment. The Company’s asset groupings vary based on the related business in which the long-lived assets are employed and the interrelationship between those long-lived assets in producing net cash flows; for example, multiple manufacturing facilities may work in concert with one another or may work on a stand-alone basis to produce net cash flows. The Company utilizes its long-lived assets in multiple industries and economic environments and its asset groupings reflect these various factors. 
The Company monitors the operating and cash flow results of its long-lived assets or asset groups classified as held and used to identify whether events and circumstances indicate the remaining useful lives of those assets should be adjusted or if the carrying value of those assets or asset groups may not be recoverable. Undiscounted estimated future cash flows are compared with the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group in the event indicators of impairment are identified. If the undiscounted estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount, the Company determines the fair value of the asset or asset group and records an impairment charge in current earnings to the extent carrying value exceeds fair value. Fair values may be determined based on estimated discounted cash flows by prices for like or similar assets in similar markets or a combination of both. 
Long-lived assets or asset groups that are part of a disposal group that meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale are not assessed for impairment, but rather a loss is recorded against the disposal group if fair value, less cost to sell, of the disposal group is less than its carrying value.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are recognized and recorded at its acquisition date fair values. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful lives. Definite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of acquired customer relationships, patents and technology, certain trade names and non-compete agreements. The Company determines the useful life of its definite-lived intangible assets based on multiple factors including the size and make-up of the acquired customer base, the expected dissipation of those customers over time, the Company’s own experience in the particular industry, the impact of known trends such as technological obsolescence, product demand or other factors and the period over which expected cash flows are used to measure the fair value of the intangible asset at acquisition. The Company periodically re-assesses the useful lives of its definite-lived intangible assets when events or circumstances indicate that useful lives have significantly changed from the previous estimate. 
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested annually, or more often if impairment indicators are present, for impairment via a one-step process by comparing the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the intangible asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded in current earnings for the excess. The Company estimates the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets based on the income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method. The Company’s annual testing date for indefinite-lived intangible assets is October 1. The Company periodically re-assesses indefinite-lived intangible assets as to whether its useful lives can be determined and, if so, begins amortizing any applicable intangible asset. 
Goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually, or more often if impairment indicators are present, for impairment at a reporting unit level. The Company’s annual testing date for goodwill is October 1st. The Company has 4 reporting units, that align with its reportable segments. 
Refer to Note 12 for additional information regarding goodwill and other intangible assets.
Extended Product Warranty Reserves
The Company offers extended warranty contracts on sales of certain products; the most significant being those offered on its installed roofing systems within the CCM segment. Current costs of services performed under these contracts are expensed as incurred and included in cost of goods sold. The Company would record a reserve within accrued expenses if the total expected costs of providing services at a product line level exceed unamortized deferred revenues. Total expected costs of providing extended product warranty services are actuarially determined using standard quantitative measures based on historical claims experience and management judgment. Refer to Notes 6 and 13 for additional information regarding deferred revenue and extended product warranties.
Pension
The Company maintains defined benefit pension plans primarily for certain domestic employees. The annual net periodic benefit cost and projected benefit obligations related to these plans are determined on an actuarial basis annually on December 31, unless a remeasurement event occurs in an interim period. This determination requires assumptions to be made concerning general economic conditions (particularly interest rates), expected return on plan assets, increases to compensation levels and mortality rate trends. Changes in the assumptions to reflect actual experience can result in a change in the net periodic benefit cost and projected benefit obligations. 
The defined benefit pension plans’ assets are measured at fair value annually on December 31, unless a remeasurement event occurs in an interim period. The Company uses the market related valuation method to determine the value of plan assets for purposes of determining the expected return on plan assets component of net periodic benefit cost. The market related valuation method recognizes the change of the fair value of the plan assets over five years. If actual experience differs from these long-term assumptions, the difference is recorded as an actuarial gain (loss) and amortized into earnings over a period of time based on the average future service period, which may cause the expense related to providing these benefits to increase or decrease. Refer to Note 15 for additional information regarding these plans and the associated plan assets. 
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception by evaluating if the asset is explicitly or implicitly identified or distinct, if the Company will receive substantially all of the economic benefit or if the lessor has an

economic benefit and the ability to substitute the asset. Operating leases are included in other long-term assets, accrued and other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities.
Right-of-use assets ("ROU assets") represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of fixed and known lease payments over the lease term. Variable payments are not included in the ROU asset or lease liability and can vary from period to period based on the use of an asset during the period or the Company's proportionate share of common costs. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, and lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has lease agreements with lease components and non-lease components. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to account for these components as a single lease component, for all classes of underlying assets. Refer to Note 17 for additional information regarding leases.
Contingencies and Insurance Recoveries
The Company is exposed to losses related to various potential claims related to its employee obligations and other matters in the normal course of business, including commercial, employee, environmental or other regulatory litigation. The Company records a liability related to such potential claims, both those reported to the Company and incurred but not yet reported, when probable and reasonably estimable.
The Company maintains occurrence-based insurance contracts related to certain contingent losses primarily workers’ compensation, medical and dental, general liability, property and product liability claims up to applicable retention limits as part of its risk management strategy. The Company records a recovery under these insurance contracts when such recovery is deemed probable. Insurance proceeds in excess of realized losses are gain contingencies and not recorded until realized. Refer to Note 17 for additional information regarding contingencies and insurance recoveries.
Derivative Instruments and Hedge Accounting

From time-to-time,time to time, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments to hedge various risks to cash flows or the fair value of recognized assets and liabilities, including those arising from fluctuations in foreign currencies, interest rates and commodities. In all cases, theThe Company recognizes these instruments at the time they are entered into and measures them at fair value. For instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges under U.S. GAAP, the changes in fair value period-to-period, less any ineffective portion, isexcluded components, are classified in accumulated other comprehensive income, in the Statements of Shareholders’ Equity, until the underlying transaction being hedged impacts earnings. Any ineffectiveness isThe excluded components are recorded in current period income. For those instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges under U.S. GAAP, the changes in fair value period-to-period of both the derivative instrument and underlying hedged item are recognized currently in earnings. For those instruments not designated or do not qualify as hedges under U.S. GAAP, the changes in fair value period-to-period are classified immediately in current period income, within other non-operating expense, net within the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. Seenet. Refer to Note 18 for a description of ourthe Company's current derivative instrument and hedging activities.

New Accounting Standards Adopted

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.  In August 2015, this guidance was clarified in ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements.  ASU 2015-15 states that presentation of costs associated with securing a revolving line of credit as an asset is permitted, regardless of whether a balance is outstanding. As a result of adopting ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016, $3.1 million of debt issuance costs was reclassified from other long-term assets to short-term and long-term debt at December 31, 2015.  Unamortized costs related to securing our revolving line of credit will continue to be presented in other long-term assets in accordance with ASU 2015-15. As this standard relates to balance sheet presentation only, the adoption of ASU 2015-03 had no further impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. See Note 12 for additional information regarding debt issuance costs.

53


In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which applies to inventory valued at first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost.  ASU 2015-11 requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, rather than at the lower of cost or market.  ASU 2015-11 is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period.  The Company early adopted this standard on January 1, 2016. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 had no impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.  ASU 2015-16 eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments.  The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified.  In addition, separate presentation on the face of the income statement or disclosure in the notes is required regarding the portion of the adjustment recorded in the current period earnings, by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date.  ASU 2015-16 is to be applied prospectively for measurement period adjustments that occur after the effective date.  ASU 2015-16 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted.  The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2016. The adoption of ASU 2015-16 had no impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  ASU 2014-09 outlines a single, comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance issued by the FASB, including industry specific guidance.   ASU 2014-09 provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts with customers to provide goods and services.  The guidance also provides a model for the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain nonfinancial assets, such as property and equipment, including real estate. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017.  The new standard must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2014-09 also requires entities to disclose both quantitative and qualitative information to enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. 

We do not anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our reported current net sales, however, given our acquisition strategy within diverse business segments, there may be additional revenue streams acquired prior to the adoption date. Our technical analysis is on-going with respect to separately-priced extended-warranty contracts, variable consideration, whether certain contracts’ revenues will be recognized over time or at a point in time, and whether costs to obtain a contract will be capitalized. Further, we are continuing to assess what incremental disaggregated revenue disclosures will be required in our consolidated financial statements. We continue to evaluate transition methods, and expect to finalize our determination once all other significant matters are concluded on. 

54


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Accounting for Leases (Topic 842), ("ASU 2016-02") which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments, measured at the present value on a discounted basis, and a right-of-use (“ROU”)an ROU asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the duration of the lease term, measured atas the lease liability amount adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, and initial direct costs.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 and all related amendments ("ASC 842") on January 1, 2019, using the alternative modified retrospective method, also known as the transition relief method, permitted under ASC 842, which did not require restatement of prior periods. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the
43

Table of Contents

Company to carry forward the historical lease liability and ROU asset are recognized in the balance sheet at the commencementclassification. The standard did not materially impact consolidated net income or cash flows.
Following is a summary of the lease.  For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance.  Operating leases will result in straight line expense while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern. Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, and requires the use of a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.  Early application of the ASU is permitted.  We have not yet determined the impacteffects of adopting the standard on our consolidated financial statements. 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.  The ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for stock compensation.

·

On a prospective basis, all income tax effects of awards should be recognized in the statement of operations as tax expense or benefit at the time that the awards vest or are settled, rather than recording excess tax benefit and certain deficiencies in additional paid in capital, and eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized through a reduction in income taxes payable before they can be recognized. 

·

Awards may be classified as equity when an employer withholds the maximum amount of taxes on behalf of the employee.  This aspect is to be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method, with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings.  The cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy the tax withholding obligation should be classified as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows on a retrospective basis. 

·

Companies are required to elect the method of accounting for forfeitures of share-based payments, either by recognizing such forfeitures as they occur or estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting such estimate when it is deemed likely to change.  This aspect is to be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method, with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings.

ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2016.  We adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2017, and have elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur.  The related financial statement impacts of adopting the above aspects of this ASU are not expected to be material, however, depending on several factors such as the market price of the Company’s common stock, employee exercise behavior and corporate income tax rates, the excess tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted and performance shares could generate a significant discrete income tax benefit in a particular interim period potentially creating volatility in net income and earnings per share period-to-period and period-over-period.  We do not expect, basedASC 842 on the existing amounts of vested and unvested stock compensation awards, that the impact will be material to the Company’s net income and earnings-per-share on an annual basis.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which provides guidance on reducing the diversity in practice on eight specific cash flow matters and how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including an adoption in an interim period. We have not yet determined the impact of adopting the standard on our consolidated financial statements. However, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The impact of adopting the standard will depend on the nature of the Company’s future acquisitions. However, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, which measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount. Instead, entities should perform annual or interim goodwill impairment tests by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the excess of carrying amount over the fair value of the respective reporting unit. The guidance is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application of the ASU is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company intends to early adopt this ASU effective January 1, 2017. As this standard is prospective in nature, the impact to our financial statements by not performing step 2 to measure the amount of any potential goodwill impairment will depend on various factors. However, the elimination of step 2 will reduce the complexity and cost of the subsequent measurement of goodwill.

Note 6—Revenue Recognition
Performance Obligations
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer in exchange for payment and is the unit of account. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation to transfer individual goods or services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the contract's transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation using the Company’s best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is observable prices.
The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, and control is transferred, either at a point in time or over time as work progresses. For the majority of the Company’s products, control is transferred, and revenue is recognized when the product is shipped from the manufacturing facility or delivered to the customer, depending on

shipping terms. Revenue is recognized over time primarily for separately priced extended service warranties in the CCM segment and certain highly customized product contracts in the CIT segment. Revenues for separately priced extended service warranties are recognized over the life of the contract. Revenues for highly customized product contracts are recognized based on the proportion of costs incurred to date, relative to total estimated costs to complete the contract and are generally incurred over twelve months or less. Highly customized product contract costs generally include labor, material and overhead.

Performance Share Awards

Performance shares vest based on the employee rendering three years of service to the Company and the attainment of a market condition over the performance period, which is based on the Company’s relative total shareholder return versus the S&P Midcap 400 Index® over a pre-determined time period as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The grant date fair value of the 2016, 2015, and 2014 performance shares of $119.08,  $112.39 and $95.72, respectively, was estimated using a Monte‑Carlo simulation approach based on a three year measurement period. Such approach entails the use of assumptions regarding the future performance of the Company’s stock and those of the S&P Midcap 400 Index®. Those assumptions include expected volatility, risk‑free interest rates, correlation coefficients and dividend reinvestment. Dividends accrue on the performance shares during the performance period and are to be paid in cash based upon the number of awards ultimately earned.

The Company expenses the compensation cost associated with the performance awards on a straight‑line basis over the vesting period of approximately three years. In the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, the Company recognized $4.7 million, $6.3 million, and $6.0 million, respectively, of compensation cost related to the performance share awards.Board. Unrecognized compensation cost related to performance share awards of $6.0$6.9 million atas of December 31, 20162019, is to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.811.7 years.

For purposes of determining diluted earnings per share, the performance share awards are considered contingently issuable shares and are included in diluted earnings per share based upon the number of shares that would have been awarded had the conditions at the end of the reporting period continued until the end of the performance period. See Note 75 for further information regarding earnings per share computations.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units are awarded to eligible directors and fully vested and are expensed upon grant date. The restricted stock units awarded to eligible directors are fully vested and will be paid in shares of Company common stock after the director ceases to serve as a member of the Board, or if earlier, upon a change in control of the Company. The $83.31Company granted 12 thousand, 13 thousand and 13 thousand units in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Units had a weighted-average grant date fair value per share of the 2016 restricted$110.79, $108.72 and $107.87 in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Restricted stock units wasunits' fair value is based on the closing market price of the stock on February 4, 2016,the respective dates of the grants.
Stock Appreciation Rights
Stock appreciation rights issued under the 2018 one-time grant discussed above, cliff vest on May 2, 2021, at which date they will immediately vest and be settled in cash. Unrecognized compensation cost related to stock appreciation rights of $11.6 million as of December 31, 2019, is to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.
The stock appreciation rights are classified as liability awards and are measured at fair value at each balance sheet date. The Company utilizes the BSM option pricing model to determine the fair value of its stock appreciation rights. The BSM relies on certain assumptions to estimate a stock appreciation right's fair value. The weighted average assumptions used in the December 31, 2019 determination of fair value for stock appreciation rights follows:
(in millions, except per share amounts)2018 One-time Grant
Expected dividend yield1.3 %
Expected term (in years)1.3
Expected volatility24.3 %
Risk-free interest rate1.6 %
Weighted-average grant date fair value (per share)$55.76 
Fair value of stock appreciation rights granted$27.5 
The expected life of stock appreciation rights is based on the time from the valuation date to the vest date. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility as well as implied volatility of the Company’s call options. The risk-free interest rate is based on rates of U.S. Treasury issues with a remaining life equal to the expected life of the stock appreciation right. The expected dividend yield is based on the latest quarterly dividend payment per share, annualized, divided by the average three-month stock price as of the date of the grant.

As of December 31, 2016,2019, the Company had no0 deferred tax assets related to net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards for U.S. federal tax purposes but had a deferred tax asset for state NOL carryforwards and credits of approximately $11$5.2 million (expiring 2017 2036) and deferred tax assets related to NOL carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions of approximately $2.9 million (expiring 2017 2024)2020 through 2039). The Company believes that it is likely that certain of the state attributes will expire unused and therefore has established a valuation allowance of approximately $1.3$0.9 million against the deferred tax assets associated with these attributes. The Company also has deferred tax assets related to NOL carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions of approximately $4.4 million, which begin to expire in 2022. The Company believes that substantially all of theit is likely that certain foreign NOLsNOL carryforwards will be utilized before expirationexpire unused and therefore has not established a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets associated with these NOL carryforwards. Approximately $2.3 million of the valuation allowance with respect to state attributes that was recorded on December 31, 2015 was released during 2016 due to management’s change in judgement regarding the portion of the attributes that was likely to expire unused.  The change in judgment occurred as predictions of future taxable income in certain state jurisdictions were increased due to the various restructuring actions that occurred during the year.approximately $2.0 million. As of December 31, 2016,2019, the Company has $6.6 million of federalhad foreign tax credit carryover (expiringcarryforwards of $2.4 million, which begin to expire in 2026).2028. The Company believes that substantially allit is likely the credits will expire unused and therefore has established a full valuation allowance.

Undistributed Foreign Earnings
As a result of the deemed mandatory repatriation provisions in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"), the Company included undistributed earnings in income subject to U.S. tax at reduced tax rates in 2017. In addition, the Company recognized in income global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) reduced by foreign tax credits will be utilized before expiration and therefore has not establishedfor 2018 as part of the changes from the Tax Act. As a valuation allowance. Although realization is not assured for the remaining deferred tax assets,result, the Company believes that the timing and amount of the reversal of taxable temporarydoes not have material basis differences expected future taxable income andrelated to cumulative unremitted earnings for US tax planning strategies will generate sufficient income to be fully realized.  However, deferred tax assets could be reduced in the future if our estimates of the timing and amount of the reversal of taxable temporary differences, expected future taxable income during the carryforward period are significantly reduced or tax planning strategies are no longer viable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as long term. Foreign deferred tax assets and (liabilities) are grouped separately from U.S. domestic assets and liabilities and are analyzed on a jurisdictional basis.

At December 31, 2016, the Company intends to permanently reinvest abroad substantially all of the earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company has identified appropriate long term uses for such earnings outside the United States, considers the unremitted earnings to be indefinitely reinvested, and accordingly has made no significant provision for income or withholding taxes that would be due upon distribution of such earnings.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits
Unrecognized tax benefits reflect the difference between the tax benefits of positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns and the tax benefits that meet the criteria for current recognition in the financial statements. The Company periodically assesses its unrecognized tax benefits.

A summary of the movement in gross unrecognized tax benefits (before estimated interest and penalties) is as follows:

If the unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 20162019, were to be recognized, approximately $26$40.9 million would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The amount impacting the Company’s effective rate is calculated by adding accrued interest and penalties to the gross unrecognized tax benefit excluding positions related to discontinued operations and subtracting the tax benefit associated with state taxes and interest.

The Company classifies and reports interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the income tax provision on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings,Income and as a long‑termlong-term liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total amount of such interest and penalties accrued, but excluded from the table above, at the years ending 2016, 2015,2019, 2018 and 20142017 were $4.7$9.2 million, $4.9$5.1 million and $3.8$5.9 million, respectively.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. During the year theThe Company is working with the IRS to complete its compliance assurance process for the 20152018 and 2019 tax year. The Company is also currently working with the IRS to complete its compliance assurance audit for the 2016 tax year and expects conclusion of the process within the next twelve months.

years.

Generally, state income tax returns are subject to examination for a period of three years to five years after filing. Substantially all material state tax matters have been concluded for tax years through 2011.2013. Various state income tax returns for subsequent years are in the process of examination. At this stage the outcome is uncertain; however, the Company believes that contingencies have been adequately provided for. Statutes of limitation vary among the foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Substantially all foreign tax matters have been concluded for tax years through 2008.2009. The Company believes that foreign tax contingencies associated with income tax examinations underway or open tax years have been provided for adequately.

70


Based on the outcome of certain examinations or as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations for certain jurisdictions, we believethe Company believes that within the next 12 months it is reasonably possible that our previously unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $5$9.0 million to $6$10.0 million. These previously unrecognized tax benefits relate to a variety of tax issues including tax matters relating to prior acquisitions and various state matters.

Note 7—Earnings Per Share

U.S. Tax Reform
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Company’s restricted shares and restricted stock units contain non-forfeitable rightsTax Act included significant changes to dividends and, therefore, are considered participating securities for purposes of computing earnings per share pursuantexisting tax law including, among other things, a reduction to the two-class method. U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and a one-time tax on deferred foreign income ("Transition Tax") in 2017.
The computation belowdeemed repatriation transition tax (the “Transition Tax”) is a tax on certain previously untaxed accumulated and current earnings and profits (“E&P”) of earnings per share excludes the income attributableCompany's foreign subsidiaries. The Company previously recognized $27.9 million related to the unvested restricted shares and restricted stock units fromTransition Tax.

Note 10—12—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net

In the third quarter of 2016, the Company concluded that its expectations of recovery in the near term in CBF’s related end markets had declined to the extent that it was more likely than not that the carrying value of the Wellman®  trade name and CBF reporting unit were below their carrying values. As a result, in the third quarter of 2016 the Company recognized impairment charges within its CBF segment of $11.5 million related to the Wellman® trade name and $130.0 million of goodwill, resulting in a carrying value of $35.4 million and $96.5 million, respectively. Consistent with its accounting policies, the Company performed the impairment tests for these assets through a one-step process for the Wellman® trade name and a two-step process for goodwill.

72

Goodwill

Wellman® Trade name Impairment

The Company based its estimate of fair value of the Wellman® trade name on the income approach utilizing the discounted future cash flow method. As part of estimating discounted future cash flows attributable to the Wellman® trade name, management estimated future revenues, royalty rates and discount rates. These represent the most significant assumptions used in the Company’s evaluation of the fair value of the Wellman® trade name (i.e., Level 3 measurements). As a result, management determined that the fair value of the Wellman® trade name was below its carrying value and recorded an impairment charge equal to the difference as noted above.

CBF Goodwill Impairment

Similarly, for Step 1 of the two-step goodwill impairment test, the Company estimated the fair value of the CBF reporting unit based on the income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method. Estimated industry weighted average cost of capital and earnings before interest and taxes margins for the CBF reporting unit represent the most significant assumptions used in the Company’s evaluation of fair value (i.e., Level 3 measurements). As a result, the Company determined that the fair value of the CBF reporting unit was below its carrying value by approximately 25% and therefore Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test was required to measure the amount of the Goodwill impairment. In performing the Step 2 analysis, the Company was required to allocate the reporting units’ fair value to the estimated fair values of the CBF reporting unit’s underlying asset and liabilities, both those recognized and unrecognized, with the residual amount reflecting the implied value of goodwill at September 30, 2016. As a result, the carrying amount of goodwill approximates the implied value of goodwill at September 30, 2016.

Note 13—Retirement15—Employee Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit Plans

The Company maintains defined benefit retirement plans, primarily for certain domestic employees, as presented below. All plans are frozen to new entrants, with the exception of the executive supplemental and director defined benefit pension plans.plan. Benefits are based primarily on years of service and earnings of the employee.

In 2016, the Company moved from utilizing a weighted-average discount rate, which was derived from the yield curve used to measure the benefit obligation at the beginning of the period, to a spot yield rate curve to estimate the pension benefit obligation and net periodic benefit costs. This change in estimate provides a more accurate measurement of service and interest costs by applying the spot rate that could be used to settle each projected cash flow individually. This change in estimate did not have a material effect on net periodic benefit costs for 2016.

The following are the significant assumptions used in the measurement of the projected benefit obligation and net periodic benefit cost:

Weighted‑averagecost primarily include the discount rate, rate of compensation increase and expected long-term return on plan assets. Weighted-average assumptions for the projected benefit obligation at December 31:

Litigation
Over the years, the Company has been named as a defendant, along with numerous other defendants, in lawsuits in various courts in which plaintiffs have alleged injury due to exposure to asbestos-containing brakes, which Carlisle manufactured in limited amounts between the late-1940s and 2015 were as follows:

the mid-1980s. In addition to compensatory awards, these lawsuits may also seek punitive damages. Generally, the Company has obtained dismissals or settlements of its asbestos-related lawsuits with no material effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company maintains insurance coverage that applies to the Company’s defense costs and payments of settlements or judgments in connection with asbestos-related lawsuits. At this time, the amount of reasonably possible asbestos claims, if any, is not material to the Company's financial position, results of operations, or operating cash flows, although these matters could result in the Company being subject to monetary damages, costs or expenses, and charges against earnings in particular periods.
