3. Recent Accounting Standards

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") establishes changes to accounting principles under U.S. GAAP through the use of Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") to the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification. The Company evaluates the applicability and potential impacts of recent ASUs on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB amended its guidance related to lease accounting. The amended guidance required lessees to recognize a majority of their leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and a lease liability. The guidance was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption was permitted. The Company adopted the new standard using the modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2019. The most significant impact of the guidance was the recognition of ROU assets and related lease liabilities for operating leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company recognized ROU assets and related lease liabilities of $31,724 and $32,579 respectively, related to operating lease commitments, as of January 1, 2019. The amended guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's cash flows or results of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB amended its guidance related to credit losses on financial instruments. The amended guidance requires the use of a methodology of estimation that reflects expected credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, as a replacement to the current methodology, which estimates losses based on incurred credit losses. This expected credit loss methodology requires that the Company consider a broader range of information when estimating credit losses on receivables. The amended guidance was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this amended guidance and applicable FASB updates related to the guidance during the first quarter of 2020 and it did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB amended its guidance related to goodwill impairment testing. The amended guidance simplified the subsequent measurement of goodwill, eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amended guidance, companies should perform their annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. Companies would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, assuming the loss recognized does not exceed the total amount of goodwill for the reporting unit. The amended guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption was permitted. The Company elected to early adopt this amended guidance during the second quarter of 2018 in connection with its annual goodwill impairment testing and it did not have an impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2017, the FASB amended its guidance related to hedge accounting. The amended guidance made more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting, amends presentation and disclosure requirements and changes the assessment of effectiveness. The guidance also more closely aligned hedge accounting with management strategies, simplifies application and increases the transparency of hedging. The amended guidance was effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted in any interim period. The Company adopted the amended guidance on January 1, 2019 and it did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements, however it did result in amendments to certain disclosures required pursuant to the earlier guidance. See Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance related to a customer's accounting for implementation, set-up, and other upfront costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is hosted by a vendor (for example, a service contract). Pursuant to the new guidance, customers apply the same criteria for capitalizing implementation costs in a hosting arrangement as they would for an arrangement that has a software license. The new guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption was permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not been issued. The FASB provided the option of applying the guidance retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of acquisition.adoption. The Company reported $6,483elected to early


adopt this guidance, prospectively, during the third quarter of 2018, and it did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2018, the FASB amended its guidance related to disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The amended requirements serve to remove, add and otherwise clarify certain existing disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The guidance requires application on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The adoption of this amended guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2019, the FASB amended its guidance related to income taxes. The amended guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminating certain exceptions to the general income tax principles, in net salesan effort to reduce the cost and complexity of application. The amended guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. The guidance requires application on either a prospective, retrospective or modified retrospective basis, contingent on the income tax exception being applied. The adoption of this amended guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

4. Revenue

The Company is a global provider of highly engineered products, differentiated industrial technologies, and innovative solutions, serving a wide range of end markets and customers. Its specialized products and services are used in far-reaching applications including aerospace, transportation, manufacturing, automation, healthcare, and packaging.

Revenue is recognized by the Company when control of the product or solution is transferred to the customer. Control is generally transferred when products are shipped or delivered to customers, title is transferred, and the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred, and the Company has rights to payment and rewards of ownership pass to the customer. Customer acceptance may also be a factor in determining whether control of the product has transferred. Although revenue is generally transferred at a point in time, a certain portion of businesses with customized products or contracts in which the Company performs work on customer-owned assets requires the use of an over time recognition model as certain contracts meet one or more of the established criteria pursuant to the accounting guidance. Also, service revenue is recognized as control transfers, which is concurrent with the services being performed.

The following table presents the Company's revenue disaggregated by products and services, and geographic regions, by segment:

(A) Sales by geographic region are based on the location to which the product is shipped.

Revenue from goods and services transferred to customers at a point in time accounted for approximately 85 percent and approximately 90 percent of revenue for the three month period from the acquisition date through September 30, 2017. Gammaflux results have been includedended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. A majority of revenue within the Industrial segment.segment and Aerospace OEM business, along with a portion of revenue within the Aerospace Aftermarket business, is recognized at a point in time, primarily when the product or solution is shipped to the customer.

Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time accounted for approximately 15 percent and approximately 10 percent of revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company recognizes revenue over time in instances where a contract supports a continual transfer of control to the customer.


Substantially all of our revenue in the Aerospace maintenance repair and overhaul business and a portion of the Engineered Components Products, Molding Solutions Products and Aerospace Original Equipment Manufacturer Products is recognized over time. Within the Molding Solutions and Aerospace Aftermarket businesses, this continual transfer of control to the customer results from repair and refurbishment work performed on customer controlled assets. With other contracts, this continual transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contract where we deliver products that do not have an alternative use and requires an enforceable right to payment of costs incurred (plus a reasonable profit) or the Company has a contractual right to complete any work in process and receive full contract price.

The majority of our revenues are from contracts that are less than one year, however certain Aerospace OEM and Industrial Molding Solutions business contracts extend beyond one year. In the Industrial segment, customers are typically OEMs or suppliers to OEMs and, in some businesses, distributors. In the Aerospace segment, customers include commercial airlines, OEMs and other aircraft and military parts and service providers.

A performance obligation represents a promise within a contract to provide a distinct good or service to the customer. Revenue is recognized in an over time model based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. The Company utilizes the cost-to-cost measure of progress for over time contracts as we believe this measure best depicts the transfer of control to the customer, which occurs as we incur costs on contracts.

Adjustments to net sales, cost of sales and the related impact to operating income are recognized as necessary in the period they become known. Revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods was not material in both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Contract Balances. The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections affect accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Unbilled Receivables (Contract Assets) - Pursuant to the over time revenue recognition model, revenue may be recognized prior to the customer being invoiced. An unbilled receivable is recorded to reflect revenue that is recognized when 1) the cost-to-cost method is applied and 2) such revenue exceeds the amount invoiced to the customer. Unbilled receivables are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Customer Advances and Deposits (Contract Liabilities) - The Company may receive a customer advance or deposit, or have an unconditional right to receive a customer advance, prior to revenue being recognized. Certain contracts within the Molding Solutions business, for example, may require such advances. Since the performance obligations related to such advances may not have been satisfied, a contract liability is established. An offsetting asset of equal amount is recorded as an account receivable until the advance is collected. Advances and deposits are included within accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets until the respective revenue is recognized. Advance payments are not considered a significant financing component as they are generally received less than one year before the customer solution is completed. These assets and liabilities are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets on an individual contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

Net contract liabilities consisted of the following:
 March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 $ Change % Change
Unbilled receivables (contract assets)$26,301
 $22,444
 $3,857

Contract liabilities(51,086) (55,076) 3,990
 (7)%
Net contract liabilities$(24,785) $(32,632) $7,847
 (24)%

Contract liabilities balances at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 include $14,064 and $16,971, respectively, of customer advances for which the Company has an unconditional right to collect payment. Accounts receivable, as presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, includes corresponding balances at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Changes in the net contract liabilities balance during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 were impacted by a $3,990 decrease in contract liabilities, driven primarily by revenue recognized in the current period, partially offset by new customer advances and deposits. Adding to this net contract liability decrease was a $3,857 increase in contract assets, driven primarily by contract progress (i.e. unbilled receivable), partially offset by earlier contract progress being invoiced to the customer.



The Company recognized approximately 40% of the revenue related to the contract liability balance as of December 31, 2019 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily representing revenue from the sale of molds and hot runners within the Molding Solutions business.

Remaining Performance Obligations. The Company has elected to disclose remaining performance obligations only for contracts with an original duration of greater than one year. Such remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed and, for Aerospace, excludes projections of components and assemblies that Aerospace OEM customers anticipate purchasing in the future under existing programs, which represent orders that are beyond lead time and do not represent performance obligations pursuant to accounting guidance. As of March 31, 2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $207,343. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 75% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the remainder being recognized within 24 months.

6. Net Income Per Common Share


For the purpose of computing diluted net income per common share, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is increased for the potential dilutive effects of stock-based incentive plans. For the purpose of computing diluted net income per common share, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding was increased by 504,168440,725 and 366,251528,661 for the three-monththree month periods ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 2016, respectively, and by 509,172 and 436,941 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,2019, respectively, to account for the potential dilutive effect of stock-based incentive plans. There were no adjustments to net income for the purposes of computing income available to common stockholders for the periods.


The calculation of weighted-average diluted shares outstanding excludes all shares that would have been anti-dilutive. During the three-monththree month periods ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 2016,2019, the Company excluded 0325,670 and 209,907 stock awards, respectively, from the calculation of weighted-average diluted shares outstanding as the stock awards were considered anti-dilutive. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company excluded 59,261 and 346,468221,201 stock awards, respectively, from the calculation of weighted-average diluted shares outstanding as the stock awards were considered anti-dilutive.

The Company granted 125,300102,500 stock options, 85,30779,994 restricted stock unit awards and 83,97081,283 performance share awards ("PSAs") in February 20172020 as part of its annual grant awards. All of the stock options and the restricted stock unit awards vest upon meeting certain service conditions. The restricted stock unit awards are included in basic weighted-average common


shares outstanding as they contain nonforfeitable rights to dividend payments. The PSAs are part of the long-term Performance


Share Award Program (the "Awards Program") and are based on performance goals that are driven by a combination of independently measured metrics (depending on the grant year) with each metric being weighted equally. The metrics for awards granted in 2016 and 20172020 include the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) and, return on invested capital (“ROIC”) and operating income before depreciation and amortization growth ("EBITDA growth"). The TSR metric isand EBITDA growth metrics are designed to assess the long-term Company performance relative to the performance of companies included in the Russell 2000 Index over a three-yearthree -year performance period. The ROIC metric is measured based ondesigned to assess the Company's performance compared to pre-established Company targets over the samea three -year performance period. The participants can earn from zero0 to 250% of the target award and the award includes a forfeitable right to dividend equivalents, which are not included in the aggregate target award numbers. The fair value of the TSR portion of the PSA was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation method as the award contains a market condition.

In February 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the fourth amendment of its fifth amended and restated revolving credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) and retained Bank of America, N.A as the Administrative Agent for the lenders. The Amended Credit Agreement increasesincreased the facility from $750,000 to $850,000 and extends the maturity date from September 2018 to February 2022. The Amended Credit Agreement also increases the existing previous
accordion feature from $250,000, allowing the Company to now request additional borrowings of up to $350,000. The Company may exercise the accordion feature upon request to the Administrative Agent as long as an event of default has not occurred or is not continuing. The borrowing availability of $850,000, pursuant to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, allows for multi-currency borrowing which includes euro,Euro, British pound sterling or Swiss franc borrowing, up to $600,000.
In September 2018, the Company and one of its wholly owned subsidiaries entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement to acquire Gimatic. In conjunction with the Acquisition, the Company requested additional borrowings of $150,000 that was provided for under the existing accordion feature. The Administrative Agent for the lenders approved the Company's access to the accordion feature and on October 19, 2018 the lenders formally committed the capital to fund such feature, resulting in the execution of the fifth amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement (the "Fifth Amendment"). The Fifth Amendment, effective October 19, 2018, thereby increased the borrowing availability of the existing facility to $1,000,000. The Company may also request access to the residual $200,000 of the accordion feature. Depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, and at the election of the Company, borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement will bear interest at either LIBOR plus a margin of between 1.10% and 1.70% or the base rate, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, plus a margin of 0.10% to 0.70%. The Company paid fees and expenses of $2,542 in conjunction with executingMulti-currency borrowings, pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement; such fees have been deferred within Other Assets onAgreement, bear interest at their respective interbank offered rate (i.e. Euribor) or 0.00% (higher of the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheetstwo rates) plus a margin of between 1.10% and are being amortized into interest expense on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income through its maturity. Cash used to pay these fees have been recorded through other financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.1.70%.


Borrowings and availability under the Amended Credit Agreement were $393,000$679,079 and $457,000,$320,921, respectively, at September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and $363,300$720,379 and $386,700,$279,621, respectively, at December 31, 2016.2019, subject to covenants in the Company's revolving debt agreements. The borrowing capacity under the Amended Credit Agreement was limited by the Senior Debt Ratio (defined below) to $294,190 as of March 31, 2020. The average interest rate on these borrowings was 2.34%1.44% and 1.86%1.76% on September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2016,2019, respectively. Borrowings included Euro-denominated borrowings of 456,490 Euros ($504,079) at March 31, 2020 and 504,690 Euros ($565,379) at December 31, 2019. The fair value of the borrowings is based on observable Level 2 inputs. The borrowings were valued using discounted cash flows based upon the Company's estimated interest costs for similar types of borrowings. In 2019, the Company borrowed 44,100 Euros ($49,506) under the Amended Credit Facility through an international subsidiary. The proceeds were distributed to the Parent Company and subsequently used to pay down U.S. borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement.


In October 2014, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (“Note Purchase Agreement”), among the Company and New York Life Insurance Company, New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation and New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation Institutionally Owned Life Insurance Separate Account, as purchasers, for the issuance of $100,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.97% Senior Notes due October 17, 2024 (the “3.97% Senior Notes”).


The 3.97% Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and pay interest semi-annually on April 17 and October 17 of each year at an annual rate of 3.97%. The 3.97% Senior Notes will mature on October 17, 2024 unless earlier prepaid in accordance with their terms. Subject to certain conditions, the Company may, at its option, prepay all or any part of


the 3.97% Senior Notes in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 3.97% Senior Notes so prepaid, plus any


accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment, plus the Make-Whole Amount, as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement, with respect to such principal amount being prepaid. The fair value of the 3.97% Senior Notes was determined using the USU.S. Treasury yield and a long-term credit spread for similar types of borrowings, thatwhich represent Level 2 observable inputs.
The Company's borrowing capacity remains limited by various debt covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement (the "Agreements"). The Agreements require the Company to maintain a ratio of Consolidated Senior Debt, as defined, to Consolidated EBITDA, as defined, of not more than 3.25 times ("Senior Debt Ratio"), a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt, as defined, to Consolidated EBITDA of not more than 3.75 times ("Total Debt Ratio") and a ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Cash Interest Expense, as defined, of not less than 4.25, in each case at the end of each fiscal quarter; provided that the debt to EBITDA ratios are permitted to increase for a period of four fiscal quarters after the closing of certain permitted acquisitions. A permitted acquisition is defined as an acquisition exceeding $150,000, for which the acquisition of Gimatic on October 31, 2018 qualified. With the completion of a permitted acquisition, the Senior Debt Ratio cannot exceed 3.50 times and the Total Debt Ratio cannot exceed 4.25 times. The increased ratios were allowed for a period of four fiscal quarters subsequent to the close of the permitted acquisition and therefore expired in the fourth quarter of 2019. At March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Agreements and continues to monitor its future compliance based on current and future economic conditions.


In addition, the Company has available approximately $59,000$81,000 in uncommitted short-term bank credit lines ("Credit Lines") and overdraft facilities. The Credit Lines are accessed locally and are available primarily within the U.S., Europe and Asia. The Credit Lines are subject to the applicable borrowing rates within each respective country and vary between jurisdictions (i.e. LIBOR, Euribor, etc.). Under the Credit Lines, $16,800$27,900 was borrowed at September 30, 2017 at an interest rate of 2.05% and $30,700 was borrowed at DecemberMarch 31, 20162020 at an average interest rate of 1.96%1.05% and $7,700 was borrowed at December 31, 2019 at an average interest rate of 2.38%. The Company had also borrowed $75$414 and $125$24 under the overdraft facilities at September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2016,2019, respectively. Repayments under the Credit Lines are due within one month after being borrowed. Repayments of the overdrafts are generally due within two days after being borrowed. The carrying amounts of the Credit Lines and overdrafts approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these financial instruments.

The Company also has capitalseveral finance leases under which $5,915 and $6,266 was outstanding at the ThermoplayMarch 31, 2020 and Männer businesses.December 31, 2019, respectively.

7.10. Derivatives


The Company has manufacturing and sales facilities around the world and thus makes investments and conducts business transactions denominated in various currencies. The Company is also exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and commodity price changes. These financial exposures are monitored and managed by the Company as an integral part of its risk management program.


Financial instruments have been used by the Company to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. In 2012, the Company entered into five-year interest rate swap agreements (the "Swaps") transacted with three banks which together converted the interest on the first $100,000 of the Company's one-month LIBOR-based borrowings from a variable rate plus the borrowing spread to a fixed rate of 1.03% plus the borrowing spread. The Swaps expired on April 28, 2017. The Company entered into a newan interest rate swap agreement (the "Swap") that commenced on April 28, 2017, with one1 bank, andwhich converts the interest on the first $100,000 of the Company's one-month LIBOR-based borrowings from a variable rate plus the borrowing spread to a fixed rate of 1.92% plus the borrowing spread. The Swap expires on January 31, 2022. These interest rate swap agreements are2022 and is accounted for as a cash flow hedges.hedge.


The Company also uses financial instruments to hedge its exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company has various contracts outstanding which primarily hedge recognized assets or liabilities and anticipated transactions in various currencies including the Euro, British pound sterling, U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, Singapore dollar, Korean won, Swedish kroner, Chinese renminbi, Mexican peso, Hong Kong dollar and Swiss franc. Certain foreign currency derivative instruments are treated as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions. All foreign exchange contracts are due within two years.


The Company does not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes or to manage commodity exposures. Changes in the fair market value of derivatives that qualify as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges are recorded directly to earnings or accumulated other non-owner changes to equity, depending on the designation.equity. Amounts recorded to accumulated other non-owner changes to equity are reclassified to earnings in a manner that


matches the earnings impact of the hedged transaction. Any ineffective portion, or amountsAmounts related to contracts that are not designated as hedges are recorded directly to earnings.


The Company's policy for classifying cash flows from derivatives is to report the cash flows consistent with the underlying hedged item. Other financing cash flows during the first ninethree months of 20172020 and 2016,2019, as presented on the consolidated

Amounts related to the interest rate swaps included within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) that were reclassified to expense during the first nine months of 2017 and 2016 resulted in a fixed rate of interest plus the borrowing spread for the first $100,000 of one-month LIBOR borrowings. The fixed rate of interest was 1.92% for the period covered by the Swap, which matures in January 2022, and 1.03% for the Swaps, which matured in April 2017. Additionally, there were no amounts recognized in income for hedge ineffectiveness during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

8.11. Fair Value Measurements


The provisions of the accounting standard for fair value define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This standard classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:


Level 1Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilitiesliabilities.




Level 2Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liabilityliability.


Level 3Unobservable inputs for the asset or liabilityliability.

10.13. Income Taxes


The Company merged certain of its Swiss operating legal entities during the second quarter of 2017 (the "Merger"). Certain of these entities included businesses with deferred tax assets that were offset by valuation allowances. As a result of the Merger, the Company reevaluated the valuation allowances and deferred tax assets related to these businesses and determined such allowances were no longer required as the merged entities would more likely than not utilize previously unbenefited net operating losses that would have otherwise expired. In addition, certain deferred tax assets were adjusted as a result of higher income tax rates. The impacts of these adjustments were treated as discrete items in the second quarter of 2017 resulting in reductions in tax expense of $5,872 and $461, respectively.

The Company's effective tax rate for the first nine monthsquarter of 20172020 was 20.5%31.5% compared with 25.1%22.3% in the first nine monthsquarter of 20162019 and 25.7%23.4% for the full year 2016.2019. The decreaseincrease in the first nine monthsquarter of 20172020 effective tax rate from the full year 20162019 rate is primarily due to the adjustment of certain valuation reserves and other benefits resulting from the merger of legal entities in Switzerland, and the settlementrecognition of tax audits and closureexpense related to the completed sale of tax years for various tax jurisdictions,the Seeger business during the first quarter of 2020 ($4,211), partially offset by a benefit related to a refund of withholding taxes that were previously paid and included in tax expense in prior years and a reduction of the expirationstatutory tax rate at one of certain tax holidays.our international operations.

13.16. Commitments and Contingencies


Product Warranties


The Company provides product warranties in connection with the sale of certain products. From time to time, the Company is subject to customer claims with respect to product warranties. The Company accrues its estimated exposure for warranty claims at the time of sale based upon the length of the warranty period, historical experience and other related information known to the Company. Liabilities related to product warranties and extended warranties were not material as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2016.2019.


Litigation
14. Business Reorganization

In June 2017,The Company is subject to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business and various other suits, proceedings and claims are pending involving the Company authorized the closure and consolidation of two production facilities (the "Closures") including a FOBOHA facility located in Muri, Switzerland (60 employees) and an Associated Spring facility (30 employees) into other facilities included within the Industrial segment to leverage capacity, infrastructure and critical resources.its subsidiaries. The Company recordedrecords a net pre-tax gainloss contingency liability when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. While it is not possible to determine the ultimate disposition of $1,392each of these proceedings and whether they will be resolved consistent with the Company's beliefs, the Company expects that the outcome of such proceedings, individually or in the first nine months of 2017 related to the Closures. This balance includes pension curtailment and settlement gains of $7,217 and $230, respectively, partially offset by employee severance charges of $3,756 and other Closure costs of $2,299, primarily related to asset write-downs. The severance liability was included within Accrued Liabilities as of September 30, 2017. The Company also expects to incur additional costs of approximately $700 in 2017 related to the Closures, including costs related to the transfer of work to other existing facilities. Closure costs are recorded primarily within Cost of Sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and are reflected in the results of the Industrial segment.
The following table sets forth the change in the liability for the 2017 employee termination actions:

15. Accounting Changes

In July 2015, the FASB amended its guidance related to the measurement of inventory. The amended guidance requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value and thereby simplifies the current guidance of measuring inventory at the lower of cost or market. The amended guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted the guidance during the first quarter of 2017 and it didaggregate, will not have a material impactadverse effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.financial condition or results of operations.

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


OVERVIEW


Please refer to the Overview in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2019. The Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents related to the Company are located on the Company's website: www.bginc.com.


ThirdFirst Quarter 2017 Highlights

In the third quarter of 2017, sales increased by $45.6 million, or 14.6% from the third quarter of 2016, to $357.2 million. Within Industrial, this sales increase was partly driven by an incremental $11.3 million sales contribution from FOBOHA during July and August 2017 (acquisition completed on August 31, 2016) and Gammaflux sales of $3.2 million during the quarter. Organic sales (net sales excluding both foreign currency and acquisition impacts) increased by $26.0 million, or 8.3%, with increases of 5.8% within Industrial and 13.6% within Aerospace. Sales in Industrial were impacted by changes in foreign currency which increased sales by approximately $5.1 million as the U.S. dollar weakened against foreign currencies.

Operating income in the third quarter of 2017 decreased 7.8% to $47.8 million from the third quarter of 2016 and operating margin decreased from 16.6% to 13.4%. Operating income was largely impacted by lower productivity, resulting primarily from increased costs incurred on certain programs at Industrial, partially offset by increased leverage of organic sales in both segments.

The Company reported net sales of $357.2 million in the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $45.6 million, or 14.6%, from the third quarter of 2016. Organic sales increased by $26.0 million, which included increases of $12.0 million and $14.0 million at Industrial and Aerospace, respectively. The increase at Industrial was driven primarily by continued strength in our Nitrogen Gas Products and Molding Solutions business units, whereas growth on newer, more technologically advanced engine platforms increased volumes at the original equipment manufacturing business within Aerospace. Sales within the Aerospace aftermarket businesses also improved during the third quarter of 2017. The overall sales increase was also driven by an incremental $11.3 million sales contribution from FOBOHA during July and August 2017 (acquisition completed on August 31, 2016) and Gammaflux sales of $3.2 million during the third quarter of 2017. The weakening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies increased net sales within the Industrial segment by approximately $5.1 million.

Cost of sales in the third quarter of 2017 increased 18.8%margins, however, improved from the 2016 period, while gross profit margin decreased from 36.3% in the 2016 period13.4% to 33.9% in the 2017 period. Gross margins declined at both Aerospace and Industrial. Gross profit improved within both segments, driven primarily by organic growth within each of the business units. At Industrial, gross margins decreased14.9% during the 2017 period, due to lower productivity, primarilylargely a result of additional costs incurred on certain programs at Engineered Components. Incremental costs include expedited freight, increased scrap and costs related tofavorable productivity, the transfer of work to other facilities. A lower margin contribution on acquisition sales and an increase in incentive compensation at certain businesses also had an impact on the overall lower gross margins at Industrial. Partially offsetting these items was the profit impact of organic growth within our Molding Solutions and Nitrogen Gas Products business units. The third quarter of 2017 and the third quarter of 2016 both included $0.5 millionabsence of short-term purchase accounting adjustments related to the acquisition of FOBOHA. WithinGimatic and a higher mix of sales volumes from the Aerospace improvement in gross profit relates primarily to organic growth within eachsegment.

The Company completed the sale of the Seeger business effective February 1, 2020. Gross proceeds received were 39.6 million Euros ($43.7 million). The Company yielded net cash proceeds of $36.9 million after consideration of cash sold and transaction costs. The final amount of proceeds from the sale is subject to post-closing adjustments. Resulting tax charges of $4.2 million were recognized in the first quarter of 2020, following the completion of the sale. See Note 2 within the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Impact of Coronavirus

In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) began in Wuhan, China, and was subsequently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The outbreak and a continued spread of COVID-19 has resulted in a substantial curtailment of business activities worldwide and is causing weakened economic conditions, both in the United States and abroad. As part of growing efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, a number of state, local and foreign governments have imposed various restrictions on the conduct of business and travel. The Company's global manufacturing operations of essential systems and components continues at reduced levels, with minimal plant closures. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and in support of continuing its manufacturing efforts, the Company has undertaken a number of steps to protect its employees, suppliers and customers. The Company’s global supply chain management team continues to monitor and manage its ability to operate effectively, however, to date, the Company has not experienced any significant disruptions within its supply chain. Ongoing communications with the Company's suppliers to identify and mitigate risk and to manage inventory levels will continue. Notwithstanding the Company's continued operations, COVID-19 has begun to have and may have further negative impacts on its operations, customers and supply chain even after the preventative and precautionary measures being taken.

The Company maintains sufficient liquidity and will continue to evaluate ways to enhance its liquidity position as it navigates through the disrupted business environment that has resulted from COVID-19. As of March 31, 2020, the Company held $112.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and had $320.9 million of undrawn borrowing capacity under its $1,000.0 million Amended Credit Facility, subject to covenants in the Company's revolving debt agreements. The Company remained in compliance with all covenants under its revolving Credit Agreement, which matures in February 2022, as of March 31, 2020. At this time, the Company has not drawn on its debt agreements as it believes the availability of those funds are not at risk given the strength of the underlying bank syndicate. The Company does not currently anticipate requiring any additional debt facilities, nor does it anticipate a material change in the terms or covenants pertaining to its current facilities. Given the current environment, the Company is closely monitoring its cash generation, usage and preservation including the management of working capital to generate cash. To better align costs with the current business environment, the Company has taken several actions which include temporary reductions in compensation for salaried employees including Company officers and Board directors, employee furloughs and reductions in discretionary expenses. As well, management has now suspended share repurchase activity. See additional discussion regarding liquidity within “Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

Entering 2020, automotive, tool and die, and personal care and packaging end markets were experiencing lingering softness. Given the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak, sales pressure increased further within these markets. Medical end markets are expected to remain favorable. Aerospace end markets remained strong entering 2020, however the Company currently anticipates growing sales pressure within OEM as certain aircraft programs have been delayed as a result of COVID-19. Within


the aftermarket businesses, combined with favorable productivity,aircraft are being removed from service and utilization is reduced. See additional discussion regarding the anticipated financial impact of COVID-19 within “Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Outlooks”.

The Company reported net sales of $330.7 million in the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of $46.0 million or 12.2%, from the first quarter of 2019. Organic sales decreased by $31.2 million, or 8.3%, including decreases of $28.6 at Industrial and $2.6 at Aerospace. The decrease at Industrial was driven by organic sales declines within several of the Industrial business units, due partially to continued softness in automotive end markets, reflecting global uncertainty, and potential changes in regulatory requirements related to personal care and packaging markets, partially offset by planned price deflation.increased volumes within medical end markets. The Automation business experienced slight growth during the current period. Sales at Industrial during the first quarter of 2019 also included a $2.6 million commercial settlement attributed to a patent-related matter. The Company completed the sale of its Seeger business on February 1, 2020, reducing sales by $10.3 million during the first quarter of 2020 relative to the prior year period. The decrease at Aerospace was driven by a decline in sales within the original equipment manufacturing business ("OEM"), partially offset by sales growth within the aftermarket businesses. The decline in OEM sales was attributed to the 737 Max aircraft, following a suspension of production by Boeing. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies decreased net sales within the Industrial segment by approximately $4.5 million.

The impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak also began to impact sales during the first quarter of 2020. Beginning late in the first quarter, Industrial and Aerospace business units began to experience the negative impact on demand for certain products and services due to COVID-19's disruption of global manufacturing and consumer spending. Much of the Company's global manufacturing of essential systems and components continues at reduced levels, however the current situation is very dynamic, and visibility of future operations is challenged. See additional discussion related to the anticipated financial impacts of COVID-19 within the segment outlooks below. See discussion related to COVID-19's risk on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements within Part II, Item 1A.

At Industrial, gross profit decreased primarily as a result of price deflation within the original equipment manufacturing business and an increase in incentive compensation, partially offset by thereduced profit impact of lower sales volumes. Gross margin at Industrial, however, increased salesduring the 2020 period, driven primarily by the absence of $4.0 million of short-term purchase accounting

Selling and administrative expenses in the thirdfirst quarter of 2017 increased 20.0%2020 decreased 10.2% from the 20162019 period due primarily to corresponding increases in sales volumes and incentive compensation during the period, partially offset by the absence of $0.6 million of costs related to workforce reductions during the 2019 period, lower amortization of certain intangibles related to earlier acquisitions and a customer termination dispute and $1.2reduction in employee related costs (including lower incentive compensation), partially offset by $2.4 million of costsdivestiture charges related to the acquisitioncompletion of FOBOHA during the 2016 period. Additional costs of $0.3 million related to the second quarter 2017 restructuring actions also contributed to the increase in selling and administrative expenses during the third quarter of 2017.Seeger sale. As a percentage of sales, selling and administrative costs increased slightly from 19.6% in the third quarter of 2016 to 20.5% in the 2017 period. Operating income in the third quarter of 2017 decreased 7.8% to $47.8 million from the third quarter of 2016 and operating income margin decreased from 16.6% to 13.4%, driven primarily by unfavorable productivity, as discussed above, at Industrial.

Cost of sales21.6% in the first nine monthsquarter of 2017 increased 19.0% from the 2016 period, while gross profit margin decreased from 35.8%2019 to 22.1% in the 2016 period to 34.9% in the 2017 period. Gross margins improved at Aerospace and declined at Industrial. Gross profit improved within both segments, driven primarily by organic growth within each of the business units. At Industrial, gross margins decreased during the first nine months of 2017 as a result of lower productivity, primarily a result of additional costs incurred on certain programs at Engineered Components. Incremental costs include expedited freight, increased scrap and costs related to the transfer of work to other facilities. A lower margin contribution on acquisition sales also had an impact on the overall lower gross margins at Industrial. Partially offsetting these items was the profit impact of organic growth within our Molding Solutions and Nitrogen Gas Products business units and a pre-tax net benefit of $1.3 million resulting from the second quarter 2017 restructuring actions taken within Industrial. Gross profit during the first nine months of 2017 was negatively impacted by $2.3 million of short-term purchase accounting adjustments related to the acquisition of FOBOHA, whereas the prior year period included $0.5 million of such adjustments. Within Aerospace, improvement in gross profit relates primarily to organic growth within each of the businesses, combined with favorable productivity, partially offset by price deflation. Increased volumes in the maintenance repair and overhaul and spare parts businesses, in particular, contributed to the gross margin improvement during the first nine months of 2017. Selling and administrative expenses in the first nine months of 2017 increased 14.5% from the 2016 period, due primarily to corresponding increases in sales volumes, incentive compensation and the amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition of FOBOHA, partially offset by the absence of $3.0 million of costs related to a customer termination dispute and $1.2 million of transaction costs related to FOBOHA during the first nine months of 2016. As a percentage of sales, selling and administrative costs slightly decreased from 20.3% in the first nine


months of 2016 to 19.8% in the 20172020 period. Operating income in the first nine monthsquarter of 2017 increased 14.1%2020 decreased by 2.6% to $160.7$49.3 million fromcompared with the first nine monthsquarter of 2016 and2019, however operating income margin decreased slightlyincreased from 15.5%13.4% to 15.1%.14.9%, primarily driven by the benefits to Cost of Sales at Industrial noted above and a higher mix of sales volumes from the Aerospace segment.


Interest expense
Interest expense increaseddecreased by $0.7$0.8 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2020 as compared with the prior year period, primarily as a result of higher interest rates. Interest expense increased by $1.8 million in the first nine months of 2017, as compared with the prior year period, also a result of higherdecreased average borrowings and lower average interest rates.


Other expense (income), net
Other expense (income), net in the thirdfirst quarter of 20172020 was $0.4$1.6 million compared to $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2016.

Income Taxes
The Company merged certain of its Swiss operating legal entities during the second quarter of 2017 (the "Merger"). Certain of these entities included businesses with deferred tax assets that were offset by valuation allowances. As a result of the Merger, the Company reevaluated the valuation allowances and deferred tax assets related to these businesses and determined such allowances were no longer required as the merged entities would more likely than not utilize previously unbenefited net operating losses that would have otherwise expired. In addition, certain deferred tax assets were adjusted as a result of higher income tax rates. The impacts of these adjustments were treated as discrete items in the second quarter of 2017 resulting in reductions in tax expense of $5.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

The Company's effective tax rate for the first nine monthsquarter of 20172020 was 20.5%31.5% compared with 25.1%22.3% in the first nine monthsquarter of 20162019 and 25.7%23.4% for the full year 2016.2019. The decreaseincrease in the first nine monthsquarter of 20172020 effective tax rate from the full year 20162019 rate is primarily due to the adjustment of certain valuation reserves and other benefits resulting from the merger of legal entities in Switzerland, and the settlementrecognition of tax audits and closureexpense related to the completed sale of tax years for various jurisdictions,the Seeger business during the first quarter of 2020 ($4.2 million), partially offset by a benefit related to a refund of withholding taxes that were previously paid and included in tax expense in prior years and a reduction of the expirationstatutory tax rate at one of certain tax holidays.our international operations.

Sales at Industrial were $240.4$199.1 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2020, a $31.6$43.4 million, increaseor 17.9% decrease from the thirdfirst quarter of 2016. This sales increase was partly driven by an incremental $11.3 million sales contribution from FOBOHA during July and August 2017 (acquisition completed on August 31, 2016) and Gammaflux sales of $3.2 million during the third quarter of 2017.2019. Organic sales increaseddecreased by $12.0$28.6 million, or 5.8%11.8%, during the 20172020 period, driven primarily by declines in sales within each of the businesses, with the exception of Automation. Softness in automotive end markets continued strengthto negatively impact sales volumes, largely due to lower global auto production rates and delays in our Nitrogen Gas Productsautomotive model change releases, reflecting ongoing global trade uncertainty. Sales within the personal care and Molding Solutionspackaging markets continued to be impacted by proposed environmental regulations affecting product and packaging composition and disposability. Increased volumes within the medical end market, however, partially offset the automotive, personal care and packaging related volume declines. Sales during the first quarter of 2019 also included a $2.6 million commercial settlement of a patent-related matter. The Company completed the sale of its Seeger business units. A continuation of favorable demand trends in our tool and die and transportation end-markets have contributed to the organic growth within these business units. Foreign currency increasedon February 1, 2020, reducing sales by approximately $5.1 million as the U.S. dollar weakened against foreign currencies. During the first nine months of 2017, this segment reported sales of $719.6 million, an 18.2% increase from the first nine months of 2016. Organic sales increased by $58.0 million, or 9.5%, during the 2017 period, primarily a result of continued strength in our Nitrogen Gas Products and Molding Solutions businesses. Acquisitions provided sales of $53.7$10.3 million during the first nine monthsquarter of 2017. The impact2020 relative to the prior year period. Beginning in February 2020, Industrial began to experience further softness in China end markets resulting from the negative impacts of foreignthe COVID-19 pandemic, with softness expanding into European and North American markets in March 2020. See additional discussion below and within Part II, Item 1A. Foreign currency decreased sales by approximately $0.7$4.5 million as the U.S. dollar strengthened against foreign currencies.


Operating profit in the thirdfirst quarter of 20172020 at Industrial was $29.3$17.9 million, a decrease of $5.7$3.6 million from the thirdfirst quarter of 2016.2019. Operating profit was negatively impacted primarily by the lower profit contribution of declining organic sales volumes across the businesses and $2.4 million of divestiture charges related to the completion of the Seeger sale.

Operating margin decreasedincreased from 16.7%8.9% in the 20162019 period to 12.2%9.0% in the 20172020 period, due to the above items. Operating profit in the first nine months of 2017 at Industrial was $100.2 million, an increase of $0.7 million from the first nine months of 2016. Operating profit benefited from increased sales volumes, largely offset by lower productivity, primarily driven by the increased costs incurred on certain programs within Engineered Components. The 2017 period also includes $2.3 million of short-term purchase accounting adjustments related to the acquisition of FOBOHA, primarily offset by a pre-tax net benefit of $1.4 million that resulted from the restructuring actions taken during the second quarter of 2017. Operating margin decreased from 16.3% in the 2016 period to 13.9% in the 2017 period primarily as a result of these items. Lower margins at FOBOHA also impacted the first nine months of 2017.net benefits described above.


Outlook: In the Industrial, manufacturing businesses, management isremains focused on generating organic sales growth through the introduction of new products and services and by leveraging the benefits of theits diversified products and global industrial end-markets, in which its businesses have a global presence.however the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has presented new challenges for the Company. Our ability to generate sales growth is subject to economic conditions inrecent disruptions within the global markets served by all of our businesses. Entering 2020, automotive, tool and die, and personal care and packaging end markets were experiencing lingering softness. Given the onset of COVID-19, sales pressure increased further within these markets. Markets in China have recently begun to indicate signs of recovery, however European and North American markets continue to remain challenged given ongoing restrictions on business and travel. Several automotive plants, including plants operated by certain of our more significant customers, experienced closures during the first quarter. General industrial end markets reflect indications of further softening from restricted levels of investment and capital expenditures. Orders within these end markets have continued to decline throughout the first quarter and into the second quarter as a result of the COVID-19 disruption, with further sales deterioration anticipated throughout the second quarter. These markets are expected to recover slowly as the global economic environment improves. Medical end markets are expected to remain favorable. For generaloverall industrial end-markets, the manufacturing Purchasing Managers IndicesManagers' Index ("PMIs"PMI") above 50has reflected the impacts of COVID-19. PMI in China,both North America and Europe are positive signs. Withinhas further deteriorated since December 31, 2019, to below 50 within both regions as of March 31, 2020.

Proposed environmental regulations affecting product and packaging composition and disposability may continue to impact sales within these end markets. Overall industrial end-markets may also be impacted by uncertainty related to current and proposed tariffs announced by the United States and the packaging and medical mold markets. Within our molds product line, orders continuedChina governments, although developments in this area have been muted given the global shift in focus to improve during the third quarter of 2017.combating COVID-19. As noted above, our third quarterfirst three months of sales were positively negatively


impacted by $5.1$4.5 million from fluctuations in foreign currencies. To the extent that the U.S. dollar fluctuates relative to other foreign currencies, our sales may continue to be impacted by foreign currency relative to the prior year periods. The relative impact on operating profit is not expected to be as significant as the impact on sales as most of our businesses have expenses primarily denominated in local currencies, where their revenues reside. Thereside, however operating margins may be impacted. Although the Company's near-term focus remains on the preservation of cash and liquidity given the disruption caused by COVID-19, the Company also remains

Strategic investments in new technologies, manufacturing processes and product development are expected to provide incremental benefits over the long term.term and management continues to evaluate such opportunities.


Given the recent pressures on sales growth resulting from COVID-19, the Company is focused on the proactive management of costs as it takes action to mitigate the impacts on operating profit. While management also remains focused on strategic investments and new product and process introductions in the long term, driving productivity by leveraging the Barnes Enterprise System in the short-term is a strategic initiative.

A sales decrease within all of the Aerospace businesses. The original equipment manufacturing ("OEM")OEM business continued to transition from the manufacture of components on legacy engine platforms to newer, more technologically advanced platforms. Increased volume generated by newer programs was only partially offset by lower volumes andincreases within the impactaftermarket businesses. The decline in OEM sales was attributed to the 737 Max aircraft, following a suspension of lower pricing on more mature engine platforms.production by Boeing.

Sales within the segment are largely denominated in U.S. dollars and therefore were not significantly impacted by changes in foreign currency. During the first nine months of 2017, this segment reported sales of $343.9 million, a 15.4% increase from the first nine months of 2016, driven by growth within each of the Aerospace businesses. Growth during the first nine months of 2017 resulted from sales in newer engine programs within OEM and additional volume from existing customers within aftermarket.


Operating profit at Aerospace in the thirdfirst quarter of 20172020 increased 9.6%7.7% from the thirdfirst quarter of 20162019 to $18.5$31.4 million. The operating profit increase resulted from the profit impact of the increased volumes discussed above, coupled with favorable productivity, resulting from our ability to leverage production volumes, partially offset by price deflation, mix within the OEM business and increased employee related costs, primarily due to incentive compensation. The third quarter of 2016 included $0.6 million of costs related to a contract termination dispute that was resolved favorably by the end of 2016.aftermarket businesses, as discussed above.

The first nine months of 2016 included $3.0 million of costs related to the contract termination dispute.spare parts businesses.


Outlook: Sales in the Aerospace OEM business are based on the general state of the aerospace market driven by the worldwide economy and are supported by its order backlog through participation in certain strategic commercial and military engine and airframe programs. OverWith the next several years,onset of the Company expects strength inCOVID-19 pandemic, previously strong aerospace end markets have recently come under increased pressure. The OEM business is anticipated to experience challenges from declining aircraft demand for new engines, driven by an expected increase in commercial aircraftand production levels.cuts at Boeing and Airbus. The Company expects further shifts induration and depth of the production mix from some of its legacy engine programs to the continual ramping of several new engine programs.aerospace disruptions are not determinable at this time. Backlog at OEM was $708.9$703.1 million at September 30, 2017, an increaseMarch 31, 2020, a decrease of 13.2%12.2% since December 31, 2016,2019, at which time backlog was $626.3 million. The increase$800.7 million, with a significant portion of this decline resulting from changes in General Electric's ("GE") production schedules for aircraft engines. If the first nine monthsCOVID-19 pandemic continues to have a material impact on the airline and aviation industry, including our more significant OEM customers, it could materially affect our Aerospace business and results of 2017operations. Backlog may decline further as Aerospace customers adjust orders primarily reflects an expanded time horizonbased on orders for certain engine programs and increased volumes.their changing aircraft production schedules. Approximately 50%45% of OEM backlog is expectedcurrently scheduled to ship in the next 12 months. The Aerospace OEM business may also be impacted by changes in the content levels on certain platforms, changes in customer sourcing decisions, adjustments to customer inventory levels, commodity availability and pricing, changes in production schedulesvendor sourcing capacity and the use of specific engine and airframe programs,alternate materials. Additional impacts may include the redesign of parts, quantity of parts per engine, cost schedules agreed to under contract with the engine manufacturers, as well as the pursuit and duration of new programs.



In the Aerospace aftermarket business, the COVID-19 pandemic is also impacting previously strong aerospace end markets. Significantly reduced aircraft utilization, increased levels of aircraft being removed from service, and reduced airline profitability are expected to impact our business on a go forward basis. Sales in the Aerospace aftermarket business may also be impacted by fluctuations in end-market demand, inventory management and changes in customer sourcing, deferred or limited maintenance activity during engine shop visits and the use of surplus (used) material during the engine repair and overhaul process. End markets are expected to grow based on the long term underlying fundamentals of the aerospace industry. Management continues to believebelieves that its Aerospace aftermarket business iscontinues to be competitively positioned based on well-established long-term customer relationships, including maintenance and repair contracts in the MRO business and long-term Revenue Sharing Programs ("RSPs") and Component Repair Programs ("CRPs"), expanded capabilities and current capacity levels.. The MRO business may also be potentially impacted by airlines that closely manage their aftermarket costs as engine performance and quality improves. Fluctuations in fuel costs and their impact on airline profitability and behaviors


within the aerospace industry could also impact levels and frequency of aircraft maintenance and overhaul activities, and airlines' decisions on maintaining, deferring or canceling new aircraft purchases, in part based on the economics associated with new fuel efficient technologies.


ManagementGiven the recent pressures on sales growth resulting from COVID-19, the Company is focused on growingthe proactive management of costs as it takes action to mitigate an anticipated deterioration of operating profit at Aerospace primarily through leveraging organic sales growth,profit. Management also remains focused on strategic investments and new product and process introductions, and productivity.introductions. Maintaining productivity through the application of the Barnes Enterprise System continues as a key initiative. Operating profit is expected to be affected by the impact of the changes in sales volume noted above, mix and pricing, particularly as they relate to the highly profitable aftermarket RSP spare parts business, and investments made in each of its businesses. Operating profits may also be impacted by potential changes in tariffs, trade agreements and trade policies that may affect the cost and/or availability of goods. Costs associated with new product and process introductions, the physical transfer of work to lower cost manufacturingother global regions, additional productivity initiatives and restructuring activities may also negatively impact operating profit.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Management assesses the Company's liquidity in terms of its overall ability to generate cash to fund its operating and investing activities. Of particular importance in the management of liquidity are cash flows generated from operating activities, capital expenditure levels, dividends, capital stock transactions, effective utilization of surplus cash positions overseas and adequate lines of credit. The Company maintains sufficient liquidity and will continue to evaluate ways to enhance its liquidity position as it navigates through the disrupted business environment that has resulted from COVID-19.


The Company believes that its ability to generate cash from operations in excess of its internal operating needs is one of its financial strengths. Management continues to focus on cash flow and working capital management, and anticipates that operating activities in 20172020 will generate sufficient cash to fund operations. TheGiven the recent global market disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is closely monitorsmonitoring its cash generation, usage and preservation including the management of working capital to generate cash. The Company does not currently anticipate requiring any additional debt facilities, nor does it anticipate a material change in the terms or covenants pertaining to its current facilities. See additional discussion regarding currently available debt facilities below. To better align costs with the current business environment, the Company has taken several actions which include temporary reductions in compensation for salaried employees including Company officers and Board directors, employee furloughs and reductions in discretionary expenses. The Company continues to invest within its businesses, with its estimate of 2020 capital spending being lowered to approximately $45 million.


In February 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the fourth amendment of its fifth amended and restated revolving credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) and retained Bank of America, N.A. as the Administrative Agent for the lenders. The Amended Credit Agreement increasesincreased the facility from $750.0 million to $850.0 million and extends the maturity date from September 2018 to February 2022. The Amended Credit Agreement also increases the existing accordion feature from $250.0 million, allowing the Company to now request additional borrowings of up to $350.0 million. The Company may exercise the accordion feature upon request to the Administrative Agent as long as an event of default has not occurred or is not continuing. The borrowing availability of $850.0 million, pursuant to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, allows for multi-currency borrowing which includes euro,Euro, British pound sterling or Swiss franc borrowing, up to $600.0 million. In September 2018, the Company and one of its wholly owned subsidiaries entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement to acquire Gimatic S.r.l. In conjunction with the Acquisition, the Company requested additional borrowings of $150.0 million that was provided for under the existing accordion feature. The Administrative Agent for the lenders approved the Company's access to the accordion feature and on October 19, 2018 the lenders formally committed the capital to fund such feature, resulting in the execution of the fifth amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement (the "Fifth Amendment"). The Fifth Amendment, effective October 19, 2018, thereby increased the borrowing availability of the existing facility to $1,000.0 million. The Company may also request access to the residual $200.0 million of the accordion feature. Depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, and at the election of the Company, borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement will bear interest at either LIBOR plus a margin of between 1.10% and 1.70% or the base rate, as defined in


the Amended Credit Agreement, plus a margin of 0.10% to 0.70%. Multi-currency borrowings, pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, bear interest at their respective interbank offered rate (i.e. Euribor) or 0.00% (higher of the two rates) plus a margin of between 1.10% and 1.70%.


In October 2014, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (“Note Purchase Agreement”), among the Company and New York Life Insurance Company, New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation and New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation Institutionally Owned Life Insurance Separate Account, as purchasers, for the issuance of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.97% senior notes due October 17, 2024 (the “3.97% Senior Notes”). The 3.97% Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will pay interest semi-annually on April 17 and October 17 of each year at an annual rate of 3.97%. The 3.97% Senior Notes will mature on October 17, 2024 unless earlier prepaid in accordance with their terms. Subject to certain conditions, the Company may, at its option, prepay all or any part of the 3.97% Senior Notes in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 3.97% Senior Notes so prepaid, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment, plus the Make-Whole Amount, as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement, with respect to such principal amount being prepaid. The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that are similar to the covenants required under the Amended Credit Agreement, as discussed below. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Note Purchase Agreement.


The Company's borrowing capacity remainsis limited by various debt covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement (the "Agreements"). The Agreements require the Company to maintain a ratio of Consolidated Senior Debt, as defined, to Consolidated EBITDA, as defined, of not more than 3.25 times ("Senior Debt Ratio"), a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt, as defined, to Consolidated EBIDAEBITDA of not more than 3.75 times ("Total Debt Ratio") and a ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Cash Interest Expense, as defined, of not less than 4.25, in each case at the end of each fiscal quarter; provided that the debt to EBITDA ratios are permitted to increase for a period of four fiscal quarters after the closing of certain permitted acquisitions.

A permitted acquisition is defined as an acquisition exceeding $150.0 million, for which the acquisition of Gimatic qualified. With the completion of a permitted acquisition, the Senior Debt Ratio cannot exceed 3.50 times and the Total Debt Ratio cannot exceed 4.25 times. The increased ratios are allowed for a period of four fiscal quarters subsequent to the close of the permitted acquisition and therefore expired in the fourth quarter of 2019. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Agreements. The Company's most restrictive financial covenant is the Senior Debt Ratio, which requires the Company to maintain a ratio of Consolidated Senior Debt to Consolidated EBITDA of not more than 3.25 times at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2020. The actual ratio at September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 was 1.63 times.2.39 times, as defined.




During the first ninethree months of 2017,2020, the Company repurchased 0.4 million shares of the Company's stock under the publicly announced Repurchase Program, at a cost of $23.3$15.6 million. See "Part II - Item 2 - Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds". Management has now suspended share repurchase activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the uncertainty of the current business environment at this time, the Company does not have an expected timeframe as to when share repurchases will resume.


Operating cash flow may be supplemented with external borrowings to meet near-term business expansion needs and the Company's current financial commitments. The Company has assessed its credit facilities in conjunction with the Amended Credit Facility and currently expects that its bank syndicate, comprised of 14 banks, will continue to support its Amended Credit Agreement which matures in February 2022. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the Company had $457.0$320.9 million unused and available for borrowings under its $850.0$1,000.0 million Amended Credit Facility, subject to covenants.covenants in the Company's revolving debt agreements. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, additional borrowings of $671.7$464.6 million of Total Debt and $513.4including $294.2 million of Senior Debt would have been allowed under the financial covenants. The Company intends to use borrowings under its Amended Credit Facility to support the Company's ongoing growth initiatives.initiatives, however the probability of an acquisition or divestiture in the near-term is unlikely given the current business environment. Nonetheless, the Company continues to analyze potential acquisition targets and end markets that meet our strategic criteria with an emphasis on proprietary, highly-engineered industrial technologies. The Company believes its credit facilities and access to capital markets, coupled with cash generated from operations, are adequate for its anticipated future requirements. At this time, the Company has not drawn on its debt agreements as a result of COVID-19, as it believes the availability of those funds are not at risk given the strength of the underlying bank syndicate. The Company maintains communication with its bank syndicate as it continues to monitor its cash requirements.


The Company had $16.8$27.9 million in borrowings under short-term bank credit lines at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2020.


In 2012, the Company entered into five-year interest rate swap agreements (the "swaps") transacted with three banks which together converted the interest on the first $100.0 million of the Company's one-month LIBOR-based borrowings from a variable rate plus the borrowing spread to a fixed rate of 1.03% plus the borrowing spread, for the purpose of mitigating its exposure to variable interest rates. The swaps expired on April 28, 2017. The Company entered into a newan interest rate swap agreement (the "swap""Swap") that commenced on April 28, 2017, with one bank, andwhich converts the interest on the first $100.0 million of the Company's one-month LIBOR-based borrowings from a variable rate plus the borrowing spread to a fixed rate of 1.92% plus the borrowing spread. The swap expires on January 31, 2022. At September 30, 2017,March 31,


2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company's total borrowings were comprised of approximately 40%25% fixed rate debt and 60% variable rate debt. At December 31, 2016, the Company's total borrowings were comprised of approximately 41% fixed rate debt and 59%75% variable rate debt.


The United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), announced its intent to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred benchmark alternative to U.S. dollar LIBOR. Published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, SOFR represents a measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight, collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, and is calculated based on directly observable U.S. Treasury-backed repurchase transactions. The Company’s Amended Credit Agreement and corresponding interest rate Swap are tied to LIBOR, with both maturing in early 2022, as noted above. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of the replacement of LIBOR, but does not anticipate a material impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company completed the sale of the Seeger business to KNG effective February 1, 2020. Gross proceeds received were 39.6 million Euros ($43.7 million). The Company yielded net cash proceeds of $36.9 million after consideration of cash sold and transaction costs. The final amount of proceeds from the sale is subject to post-closing adjustments. Resulting tax charges of $4.2 million were recognized in the first quarter of 2020 following the completion of the sale. The Company utilized the proceeds from the sale to reduce debt under the Amended Credit Facility.

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the Company held $134.5$112.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, the majority of which was held by foreign subsidiaries. These amounts have no material regulatory or contractual restrictions and are expected to primarily fund international investments.


In May 2017,2019, the Company made a $5.0contributed $15.0 million of discretionary contributioncontributions to its U.S Qualified pension plans. The Company currently does not plan to make any additional discretionary contributions to its U.S. Qualified pension plans, however an incremental $5.0approximately $4.4 million of contributions areis expected to be made into its U.S. Non-qualified and international pension plans throughout 2017.2020.

Any future acquisitions are expected to be financed through internal cash, borrowings and equity, or a combination thereof. Additionally, we may from time to time seek to retire or repurchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

Debt Covenants


As noted above, borrowing capacity is limited by various debt covenants in the Company's debt agreements. Following is a reconciliation of Consolidated EBITDA, a key metric in the debt covenants, to the Company's net income (in millions):

The Amended Credit Agreement allows for certain adjustments within the calculation of the financial covenants. Other adjustments consist primarily of net losses on the sale of assets and due diligence and transaction expenseschanges in accounting as permitted under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Company's financial covenants are measured as of the end of each fiscal quarter. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, additional borrowings of $671.7$464.6 million of Total Debt and $513.4including $294.2 million of Senior Debt would have been allowed under the covenants. Senior Debt includes primarily the borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility, the 3.97% Senior Notes and the borrowings under the lines of credit. The Company's unused committed credit facilities at September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 were $457.0 million.$320.9 million; however, the borrowing capacity was limited by the debt covenants to $294.2 million at March 31, 2020.










OTHER MATTERS


The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2019. The most significant areas involving management judgments and estimates are described in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2019. Actual results could differ from those estimates. There have been no material changes to such judgments and estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Recent Accounting Changes

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended its guidance related to revenue recognition. The amended guidance establishes a single comprehensive model for companies to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The amended guidance clarifies that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying the amended guidance, an entity will (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the contract’s performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The amended guidance applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amended guidance was initially effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016 for public companies. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a deferral


of the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after that date. The FASB also permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach to the amended guidance. The Company plans to adopt the amended guidance using the modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2018 at which time it becomes effective for the Company.

In 2015, we developed a project plan and established a cross-functional team to implement the amended guidance. We are completing the review of our contracts and evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on each of our primary revenue streams. While we are continuing to assess all potential impacts of the amended guidance, we currently believe that the most significant impact relates to the timing of revenue recognition, presentation and disclosures. We expect that a substantial portion of our businesses will continue to recognize revenue on a "point-in-time basis". We also expect, however, that a portion of our businesses with customized products or contracts in which we perform work on a customer-owned asset will require the use of an "over time" recognition model as certain of our contracts may meet certain of the criteria established in the amended guidance. We anticipate utilizing the cost-to-cost input method to measure progress towards completion for contracts on an over time revenue recognition model. The Company is working to quantify the impact of the "over time" revenue recognition model in conjunction with our ongoing review of contracts, however the ultimate financial impact will be dependent upon the terms of the contracts with customers at the time of adoption and the Company's progress to completion on such contracts at that time. In addition, we continue to identify appropriate changes to our business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure requirements under the new standard. We are currently implementing design changes to such business processes, controls and systems to ensure that such changes are effective at the time of adoption.

In February 2016, the FASB amended its guidance related to lease accounting. The amended guidance requires lessees to recognize a majority of their leases on the balance sheet as a right-to-use asset. Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize an asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less. Lease expense will be recorded in a manner similar to current accounting. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the impact it will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company anticipates the amended guidance will have a material impact on its assets and liabilities due to the addition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities to the balance sheet; however, it does not expect the amended guidance to have a material impact on its cash flows or results of operations.

In August 2016, the FASB amended its guidance related to the Statement of Cash Flows. The amended guidance clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments should be presented on the statement of cash flows, with focus on eight specific areas in which cash flows have, in practice, been presented inconsistently. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the amended guidance to have a material impact on its cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB amended its guidance related to goodwill impairment testing. The amended guidance simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill, eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amended guidance, companies should perform their annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. Companies would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, assuming the loss recognized does not exceed the total amount of goodwill for the reporting unit. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this amended guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2017, the FASB amended its guidance related to the presentation of pension costs. The amended guidance requires the bifurcation of net periodic benefit cost for pension and other postretirement plans. The service cost component of expense will be presented with other employee compensation costs in operating income, consistent with the current guidance. The other components of expense, however, will be reported separately outside of operating income. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the amended guidance to determine the impact it will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this amended guidance will have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements on an ongoing basis. The Company's retrospective adoption, though, will likely have an impact on certain classifications in the 2017 Consolidated Statements of Income, mainly due to the pension curtailment and settlement gains (net) that were recorded in operating income during the first nine months of 2017. See Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.



In August 2017, the FASB amended its guidance related to hedge accounting. The amended guidance makes more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting, amends presentation and disclosure requirements and changes the assessment of effectiveness. The guidance also more closely aligns hedge accounting with management strategies, simplifies application and increases the transparency of hedging. The amended guidance is effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted in any interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.


EBITDA


EBITDAEarnings before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the first nine monthsquarter of 20172020 was $228.4$71.3 million compared to $199.7$73.9 million in the first nine monthsquarter of 2016.2019. EBITDA is a measurement not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of Americaaccounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company defines EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization which the Company incurs in the normal course of business. The Company does not intend EBITDA to represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, and the reader should not consider it as an alternative to net income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other items calculated in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of the Company's operating performance. The Company's definition of EBITDA may not be comparable with EBITDA as defined by other companies. Accordingly, the measurement has limitations depending on its use. The Company believes EBITDA is commonly used by financial analysts and others in the industries in which the Company operates and, thus, provides useful information to investors. Accordingly, the calculation has limitations depending on its use.

Based upon, and as of the date of, our evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in all material respects and designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the Company's thirdfirst fiscal quarter of 20172020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.





PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1. Legal Proceedings


We are subject to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business and various other suits, proceedings and claims are pending against us and our subsidiaries. While it is not possible to determine the ultimate disposition of each of these proceedings and whether they will be resolved consistent with our beliefs, we expect that the outcome of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.


Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following represents a material change in our Risk Factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

The widespread outbreak of an illness or any other communicable disease, or any other public health crisis could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”) has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility, uncertainty and disruption within financial markets. COVID-19 has adversely affected, and poses risks to, our business, including our operational and financial performance. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our performance depends on numerous evolving factors, many of which are highly uncertain, including, among other things, the duration and spread of COVID-19, its severity, and the actions taken in response to it; the effect on our customers and customer demand for our products and services; our ability to sell and provide our products and services, including as a result of travel restrictions and “shelter in place” orders; the ability of our customers to pay for our products and services; and any closures of our offices and facilities as well as those of our customers and suppliers.Customers may also decelerate decision making, delay planned work or seek to terminate existing agreements. An extended period of global supply chain and economic disruption could materially affect our business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity and financial condition.
Additionally, COVID-19 has had a material impact on the air travel and aviation industries. Several countries, including the United States, have taken steps to restrict air travel, and many companies have adopted policies prohibiting non-essential business travel by their employees. Even in the absence of formal restrictions and prohibitions, contagious illness and fear of contagion could adversely affect travel behavior. Current travel restrictions, as well as expected changes in the propensity for the general public to travel by air as a result of COVID-19, has caused reductions in demand for commercial aircraft. If COVID-19 continues to have a material impact on the airline and aviation industry, including on General Electric, which accounted for approximately 20% of our total sales and 55% of Aerospace’s net sales in 2019, and our other large customers, it could materially affect the business and results of operations of our Aerospace business.
To the extent COVID-19 or any worsening of the global business and economic environment as a result thereof adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
