NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended JulyMarch 31, 2023 and April 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021
(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Following the sale of the Company's Distribution business in 2019, the Company operated as one segment. In the fourth quarter of 2021, our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") established a new structure for the Company to better align the Company's businesses to support capital allocation plans, portfolio management and growth. This new structure resulted in the introduction of three reportable segments: Engineered Products, Precision Products and Structures. See Note 5, Revenue and Segment Information, for 2022 financial results by segment and a recast of financial results by segment for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended July 2, 2021.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell certain assets and liabilities of its Mexico operations in the Structures segment. As a result of the agreement, the assets and liabilities of the Mexico operations to be sold were reclassified to assets and liabilities held for sale, respectively, as of July 1, 2022 on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as the criteria set forth in Accounting Standards Codification 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations ("ASC 205-20") for held for sale were met. See Note 3, Disposals, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. This transaction closed on July 29, 2022.

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this report. Certain amounts in prior year financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

The Company has a calendar year-end; however, its first three fiscal quarters follow a 13-week convention, with each quarter ending on a Friday. The secondfirst quarters for 20222023 and 20212022 ended on JulyMarch 31, 2023, and April 1, 2022, and July 2, 2021, respectively.

Recent Accounting Standards AdoptedAircraft Wheel & Brake

In May 2021,On September 16, 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2021-04, "Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer's Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensusCompany acquired all of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)".assets and related liabilities of Parker-Hannifin Corporation's ("Parker") Aircraft Wheel and Brake division, of Avon, Ohio, at a purchase price of $442.8 million. Aircraft Wheel and Brake is a leader in the design, development, qualification, manufacturing and assembly, product support and repair of wheels, brakes and related hydraulic components for fixed-wing aircraft and rotorcraft. With this acquisition, the Company has expanded its portfolio of engineered products, broadening the number of offerings available to serve customers across a range of critical applications and has increased the Company's exposure within the aerospace and defense end markets.

This acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method. The objectiveassets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded based on their fair values at the date of this standard update isacquisition as follows (in thousands):

(1)Refer to clarifyNote 3, Business Combinations and reduce diversityInvestments, in an issuer's accountingthe Annual Report on Form 10-K for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The guidance clarifies whether an issuer should accountthe year ended December 31, 2022 for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as either an adjustment to equity and, if so, the related earnings per share ("EPS") effects, if any, or as an expense and, if so, the manner and pattern of recognition. The standard update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption was permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard update did not have a material impactinformation on the Company's consolidated financial statements.determination of the fair value of identifiable assets.

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company paid Parker an additional $1.5 million for the working capital adjustment, which resulted in an increase to goodwill. All purchase price allocations were finalized within the one-year measurement period and no further adjustments are expected.

The goodwill associated with this acquisition is tax deductible and is the result of expected synergies from combining the operations of the acquired business with the Company's operations and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as an assembled workforce. The goodwill associated with this acquisition was recognized in the Engineered Products segment.

Aircraft Wheel and Brake's results of operations have been included in the Company's financial statements for the period subsequent to the completion of the acquisition on September 16, 2022. Aircraft Wheel and Brake contributed $18.5 million of revenue and $0.8 million of operating income for the three-month fiscal period ended March 31, 2023.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted - continued

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity". The objective of this standard update is to simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The update removes certain separation models between a debt component and equity or derivative component for certain convertible instruments. Entities that previously required separate accounting for conversion features will report less interest expense as those conversion features were recorded as debt discounts which were amortized over the term of the debt. In addition, this ASU adds new disclosure requirements for convertible instruments to improve the decision usefulness and relevance of the information being provided to users of financial statements, clarifies the guidance for determining whether a contract qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting, and requires the application of the if-converted method when calculating diluted EPS guidance to improve consistency. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption of the standard was permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year and can do so using a modified retrospective method or fully retrospective method of transition. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective basis which resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance sheet. The prior period condensed consolidated financial statements have not been retroactively adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standard in effect for the period.

The cumulative effect of the adjustments recorded to the opening balance sheet on January 1, 2022 for the adoption of ASU 2020-06 was as follows:
in thousandsBalance at December 31, 2021Adjustments due to ASU 2020-06Balance at January 1, 2022

Retained earnings$750,445 $6,635 $757,080 

Beginning in 2022, the Company will calculate diluted EPS using the if-converted method for its convertible debt instruments, which is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated results. Historically, the Company used the treasury stock method to calculate diluted EPS for its convertible debt instruments. In the second quarter of 2022, there was no impact as diluted EPS calculated to $0.14 and $0.29, respectively, using both the if-converted method and treasury stock method. Refer to Note 13, Debt, for further information on the Company's convertible notes.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)

Recent Accounting Standards Yet to be Adopted

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging-Portfolio Layer Method". The amendments in this standard update expand the current last-of-layer method of hedge accounting that permits only one hedged layer to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio. This standard update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted on any date on or after the issuance of this update for any entity that has adopted the amendments in ASU 2017-12 for the corresponding period. If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, the effect of adopting the amendments related to basis adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements; however, the impact will be dependent on future hedging activity.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers". The amendments in this standard update address diversity and inconsistency related to the recognition and measurement of contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination and require that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This standard update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of this standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements; however, the impact will be dependent on future business combinations.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting". The objective of the standard is to address operational challenges likely to arise in accounting for contract modifications and hedge accounting due to reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The standard update is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications by topic or industry subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. Once elected for a topic or industry subtopic, the amendments in this standard update must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that topic or industry subtopic. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. If an entity elects to apply any of the amendments for an eligible hedging relationship existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, any adjustments as a result of those elections must be reflected as of the beginning of that interim period. If an entity elects to apply any of the amendments for a new hedging relationship entered into between the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 and March 12, 2020, any adjustments as a result of those elections must be reflected as of the beginning of the hedging relationship. In December 2021, the Company amended its credit agreement to move its LIBOR benchmark for non-USD borrowings to other non-USD benchmark rates. Future USD borrowings under this current Credit Agreement will continue to be based on LIBOR. The impact of the adoption of this standard update is dependent on the Company's contracts modifications as a result of reference rate reform; however, the Company does not expect the adoption of the amendments associated with hedging relationships to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2020-04, the FASB issued the following update: ASU 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Scope". The amendments in this update affect the guidance within ASU 2020-04 and are being assessed with ASU 2020-04.

3. DISPOSALS

Mexico Business

In the second quarter of 2022, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell certain assets and liabilities of its Mexico operations in the Structures segment. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the transaction closed on July 29, 2022.

The transaction does not meet the criteria set forth in ASC 205-20 for discontinued operations as it does not reflect a significant shift in the Company's strategy. As a result of the asset purchase agreement, the related assets and liabilities of the Mexico operations to be sold were reclassified to assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale, respectively, as of July 1, 2022 on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the criteria set forth in ASC 205-20 for held for sale presentation were met.

UK Composites Business

In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company received approval from its Board of Directors to sell its United Kingdom ("UK") Composites division. The sale of the UK Composites business did not meet the criteria set forth in ASC 205-20 for discontinued operations as it did not reflect a significant shift in the Company's strategy. As a result of the approved plan, the UK Composites division met the criteria set forth in ASC 205-20 for held for sale presentation at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2020, the assets of the UK Composites business were considered impaired as the estimated fair value of the disposal group was lower than the estimated carrying value of the UK Composites business. As such, the assets of the UK Composites business were written off and the related liabilities of the UK division to be sold were reclassified to liabilities held for sale, as of December 31, 2020 on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $36.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company sold its UK Composites division in a transaction that closed on February 2, 2021. In the first quarter of 2021, when the sale was finalized, the Company recorded an additional loss of $0.2 million, which was included in loss on sale of business on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six-month fiscal period ended July 2, 2021, resulting in a total loss on the sale of the UK Composites business of $36.5 million.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at the beginning of the period on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six-month fiscal period ended July 2, 2021 included $6.6 million of cash that was included in the UK Composites business disposal group. Given the assets of the disposal group were recognized net of the impairment recorded in the year ended December 31, 2020, such amounts were not reflected on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2020.

Distribution Business

On August 26, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its Distribution business. Upon closing, the Company entered into a transition services agreement ("TSA") with the buyer, pursuant to which the Company agreed to support the information technology ("IT"), human resources and benefits, tax and treasury functions of the Distribution business for six to twelve months. The buyer exercised an option to extend the support period for up to one additional year for certain services. During the third quarter of 2021, the TSA expired and all services were completed as of the end of the period. As such, there was no activity associated with the TSA in 2022. Through the term of the TSA, the Company incurred $18.9 million in costs and earned $13.0 million in income associated with the TSA. Of these amounts, $1.0 million and $1.7 million in costs were incurred and $0.4 million and $0.9 million in income was earned in three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended July 2, 2021, respectively. These amounts were included in costs from transition services agreement and income from transition services agreement on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively.

Since the sale of the Distribution business, cash outflows from the Company to its former Distribution business totaled $8.7 million through July 1, 2022, which primarily related to Distribution employee and employee-related costs incurred prior to the sale. There were no cash flows from the Company to its former Distribution business in the six-month fiscal periods ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021. Since the sale of the Distribution business, cash inflows from the Company's former Distribution business to the Company totaled $19.1 million through July 1, 2022, which primarily related to cash received for services performed under the TSA and the $5.2 million working capital adjustment settled in the first quarter of 2020. Cash inflows from the Company's former Distribution business received in the six-month fiscal period ended July 2, 2021 totaled $1.5 million. Cash inflows from the former Distribution business were not material in 2022.

4. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND INVESTMENTS

Near Earth Autonomy

On June 22, 2022, the Company invested $10.0 million in Near Earth Autonomy, Inc. ("Near Earth"), in exchange for a minority interest in the outstanding equity of Near Earth and one seat on its Board of Directors.

The investment was included in Investment in Near Earth Autonomy on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of July 1, 2022. Upon observable transaction prices or impairment, the Company will remeasure the investment at fair value.

Aircraft Wheel & Brake

On May 21, 2022, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Parker-Hannifin Corporation ("Parker"), pursuant to which the Company will acquire Parker's Aircraft Wheel and Brake division for a total purchase price of $440.0 million payable in cash, subject to a customary working capital adjustment. Parker is divesting this portion of its business in order to secure approval from certain governmental authorities in connection with its previously announced offer to acquire Meggitt PLC ("Meggitt").

The Company has obtained a financing commitment, subject to customary conditions, that will provide it with sufficient cash to consummate the closing. The closing of this transaction is expected to occur before December 31, 2022. The timing of closing will be contingent upon the receipt of regulatory approvals, including the European Commission’s process with respect to its consideration of Parker’s acquisition of Meggitt.

Bal Seal

On January 3, 2020, the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Bal Seal Engineering ("Bal Seal"), of Foothill Ranch, California, at a purchase price of $317.5 million. Upon closing, the Company funded $24.7 million associated with employee retention plans at Bal Seal. This amount and related interest was included in restricted cash on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2020. Eligible participants received an allocation of the escrow balance one year following the acquisition date, which was reflected in the Company's cash flows from operating activities for the six-month fiscal period ended July 2, 2021.

Impacts from Current Economy

The U.S. economy is experiencing broad and rapid inflation and rising interest rates, as well as supply issues in material, services and labor due to economic policy, the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and, more recently, the war in Ukraine. These impacts are likely to persist through 2022 and beyond. We cannot predict the impact on the Company’s end markets or input costs nor the ability of the Company to recover cost increases through pricing.

The Company has implemented strategies to limit the risk COVID-19 poses to its operations with a continued focus on the health of its employees and the satisfaction of its customers’ requirements. Despite all of these efforts, the effects of the pandemic have adversely impacted our commercial end markets, more specifically Commercial, Business and General Aviation customers. Management is encouraged by the recoveries for these products and the strong order intake seen in the first six months of 2022. The extent and duration of time to which COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company depends on future developments, which continue to be uncertain and unpredictable.

For contracts in which revenue is recognized over time, the Company performs detailed quarterly reviews of the progress and execution of its performance obligations under these contracts. As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. The risks and opportunities include management's judgment about the ability and cost to achieve the schedule (e.g., the number and type of milestone events), technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product) and other contract requirements. Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the performance obligation (e.g., to estimate increases in wages and prices for materials and related support cost allocations), execution by subcontractors, the availability and timing of funding from customers and overhead cost rates, among other variables. Based upon these reviews, the Company will record the effects of adjustments in profit estimates each period. If at any time management determines that in the case of a particular contract total costs will exceed total contract revenue, a provision for the entire anticipated contract loss is recorded at that time.

Net changes in revenue associated with cost growth on the Company's over time contracts were as follows:

Transformation Restructuring

In December 2022, the Company began a review of all businesses and programs to increase efficiencies, improve working capital management and focus on sustainable and consistent revenue and profit generating activities. As a result of this review, the Company identified areas to reduce annualized costs in the Precision Products segment and at Corporate through streamlining processes, consolidating the production of fuzes for the JPF program at its Middletown facility, discontinuing K-MAX® helicopter production and right-sizing the Company's total cost structure. In the three-month fiscal period ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred $2.2 million in severance costs associated with these actions. Of this amount, $0.3 million was related to share-based compensation expense.

Contract Assets

The decreaseincrease in contract assets was primarily due to higher amounts billed in the current period on the JPF program, the Sikorsky BLACK HAWK program and the AH-1Z program compared to the recognition of revenue related to the satisfaction or partial satisfaction of performance obligations for work performed and not yet billed on certain structures programs with Boeing and an aftermarket precision productsthe AH-1 blade program compared to lower amounts billed in the current period on the JPF program.

Contract costs, current portion at July 1, 2022 remained relatively flatMarch 31, 2023 decreased compared to the balance at December 31, 2021.2022. This was primarily attributable to the reclassification of a portion of costs to fulfill certain structures programs from contract costs, noncurrent portion, mostly offset by the amortization of contract costs. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended July 1, 2022, amortizationAmortization of contract costs was $0.2$0.1 million for the three-month fiscal periods ended March 31, 2023 and $0.3April 1, 2022.

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities, current portion at March 31, 2023 increased compared to the balance at December 31, 2022. This was primarily due to advances received for the SH-2G program with New Zealand and the reclassification of liabilities on the FireburstTM enhanced fuzing capability program from contract liabilities, noncurrent portion, partially offset by revenue recognized on the JASSM® program. Revenue recognized related to contract liabilities, current portion was $0.5 million respectively.in the three-month fiscal periods ended March 31, 2023 and April 1, 2022.

9.7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: 
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The following table presents the carrying value and fair value of financial instruments that are not carried at fair value:
July 1, 2022December 31, 2021March 31, 2023December 31, 2022

Debt (1)
$610,500 $592,533 $562,500 $547,393 
(1) These amounts are classified within Level 2.

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

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net and accounts payable - trade approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The Company's cash and cash equivalents at July 1, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 20212022 included $55.6$35.1 million and $65.5$0.1 million, respectively, of Level 1 money market funds.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company holds derivative instruments for foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps that are measured at fair value using observable market inputs such as forward rates and its counterparties’ credit risks. Based on these inputs, the derivative instruments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. At July 1, 2022March 31, 2023, the interest rate swaps were included in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the derivative instrumentsforeign exchange contracts were included in other current assets and other current liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Based on the Company's continued ability to trade and enter into forward contracts and interest rate swaps, the Company considers the markets for its fair value instruments to be active.

The Company evaluated the credit risk associated with the counterparties to these derivative instruments and determined that as of July 1, 2022,March 31, 2023, such credit risks had not had an adverse impact on the fair value of these instruments.

10.8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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

Cash Flow Hedges

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company's Credit Agreement (as defined in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" below) contains floating rate obligations and is subject to interest rate fluctuations. In late 2022, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $200.0 million, effective January 1, 2023, for the purposes of hedging the eight quarterly variable-rate Credit Agreement interest payments due in 2023 and 2024. These interest rate swap agreements were designated as cash flow hedges and intended to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company's variable-rate borrowings and minimize the impact on earnings and cash flows of interest rate fluctuations attributable to changes in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. These interest rate swaps were not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-month fiscal period ended March 31, 2023. Over the next twelve months, the income related to cash flow hedges expected to be reclassified from other comprehensive income is $0.3 million.

Forward Exchange Contracts

The Company holds forward exchange contracts designed to hedge forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies and to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the Company’s earnings and cash flows. Some of these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company will include in earnings amounts currently included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) upon recognition of cost of sales related to the underlying transaction. These contracts were not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of July 1, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021.2022. The activity related to these contracts was not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended JulyMarch 31, 2023 and April 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021.2022.

Management believes that approximately $46.7$23.4 million of the K-MAX® inventory will be sold after July 1, 2023,March 31, 2024, based upon the anticipation of additional aircraft manufacturing and the requirements to support the fleet for the foreseeable future. In December 2022, the Company began a review of all businesses and programs to increase efficiencies, improving working capital management and focus on sustainable and consistent revenue and profit generating activities. As a result, the Company determined it would discontinue K-MAX® aircraft production and wrote off $44.5 million of inventory associated with the program as of December 31, 2022. There were no additional inventory write-offs for the period ended March 31, 2023; however, production material for the K-MAX® includes long lead parts, which the Company evaluates for alternative use as received. Any write-offs related to these parts are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

At July 1, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, $6.4 million and $6.0$6.2 million, respectively, of SH-2G(I) inventory was included in contracts and other work in process inventory on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management believes that approximately $4.5$5.3 million of the SH-2G(I) inventory will be sold after July 1, 2023.March 31, 2024. This balance represents spares requirements and inventory to be used on SH-2G programs.

Convertible Notes

During May 2017, the Company issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior unsecured notes due May 2024 (the "2024 Notes") pursuant to an indenture (the "Indenture"), dated May 12, 2017, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. In connection therewith, the Company entered into certain capped call transactions that cover, collectively, the number of shares of the Company's common stock underlying the 2024 Notes.

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

The sale of the Distribution business in the third quarter of 2019 was deemed to be a "Fundamental Change" and a "Make-Whole Fundamental Change" pursuant to the terms and conditions of the indenture governing the 2024 Notes. As a result, the sale triggered the right of the holders of our 2024 Notes to require us to repurchase all of the 2024 Notes, or any portion thereof that is a multiple of $1,000 principal amount on September 27, 2019. The aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn was $0.5 million, representing 0.25% of all outstanding notes. Holders of such notes receive the purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes being purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

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

(1)Represents the number of shares of Common Stock hypothetically issuable per each $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes, subject to adjustments upon the occurrence of certain specified events in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
(2)Represents $1,000 divided by the conversion rate as of such date. The conversion price reflects the strike price of the embedded option within the 2024 Notes. If the Company's share price exceeds the conversion price at conversion, the noteholders would be entitled to receive additional consideration either in cash, shares or a combination thereof, the form of which is at the sole discretion of the Company.
(3)Prior to November 1, 2023, the notes are convertible only in the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after July 1, 2017, and only during any such fiscal quarter, if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock was greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, (2) during the five consecutive business day period following any ten consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period") in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after November 1, 2023, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. As of July 1, 2022, none of the conditions permitting the holders of the 2024 Notes to convert had been met. Therefore, the 2024 Notes are classified as long-term debt.
(4)This represents the number of shares hypothetically issuable upon conversion of 100% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes at each date; however, the terms of the 2024 Notes state that the Company may pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company's election. The Company currently intends to settle the aggregate principal amount in cash. Amounts due in excess of the principal, if any, also may be settled in cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company's election.

Convertible Notes - continued

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

ASC Topic 815 - Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815") provides that contracts are initially classified as equity if (1) the contract requires physical settlement or net-share settlement, or (2) the contract gives the company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The settlement terms of our capped call transactions require net-share settlement. Based on the guidance in ASC 815, the capped call transactions were recorded as a reduction of equity as of the trade date. ASC 815 states that a reporting entity shall not consider contracts to be derivative instruments if the contract issued or held by the reporting entity is both indexed to its own stock and classified in shareholders' equity in its balance sheet. The Company concluded the capped call transactions should be accounted for in shareholders' equity and are, therefore, not to be considered a derivative instrument.

At issuance, ASC 470-20 "Debt with Conversion and Other Options" (“ASC 470-20”) clarified the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion, including partial cash settlement. ASC 470-20 specified that an issuer of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components of the instruments in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate which interest costs are to be recognized in subsequent periods. The note payable principal balance for the 2024 Notes at the date of issuance of $200.0 million was bifurcated into the debt component of $179.5 million and the equity component of $20.5 million. The difference between the note payable principal balance and the fair value of the debt component representing the debt discount was being accreted to interest expense over the term of the 2024 Notes. The fair value of the debt component was recognized using a 5.0% discount rate, representing the Company's borrowing rate at the date of issuance for a similar debt instrument without a conversion feature with an expected life of seven years. At January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06, which removed certain separation models between a debt component and equity component for certain convertible instruments. As a result, the convertible notes balance consists solely of a debt component as of the adoption. Refer to Note 2, Recent Accounting Standards, for further information on the cumulative effect adjustment recorded at adoption.

The Company incurred $7.4 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the sale of the 2024 Notes, which was allocated between the debt and equity components of the instrument at issuance. Of the total amount, $0.7 million was recorded as an offset to additional paid-in capital. The balance, $6.7 million, was recorded as a contra-debt balance and was being amortized over the term of the 2024 Notes. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the amount recorded to additional paid-in capital was reclassified to retained earnings in the cumulative effect adjustment recorded on January 1, 2022. The remaining balance of debt issuance costs is being amortized over the term of the convertible notes. Total amortization expense for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021 was $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Because the embedded conversion option is indexed to the Company’s own stock and would be classified in shareholders’ equity, it does not meet the criterion under ASC 815 that would require separate accounting as a derivative instrument.

Revolving Credit Agreement

On December 13, 2019, the Company closed an amended and restated $800.0 million Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent, which matures on December 13, 2024. Capitalized terms used but not defined within this Note 13, Debt, have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement was further amended on December 8, 2021 to move its LIBOR benchmark for non-USD borrowings to other non-USD benchmark rates. Future USD borrowings under this current Credit Agreement will continue be based on LIBOR. On May 31, 2022, the Credit Agreement was further amended to, among other things, adjust the Total Net Leverage Ratio financial covenant in anticipation of the consummation of the announced acquisition of Parker's Aircraft Wheel and Brake division. Prior to the amendment, the Credit Agreement included a requirement that the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio could not be greater than 4.00 to 1.00, with an election to increase the maximum to 4.50 to 1.00 for 4 consecutive quarters, in connection with a Material Permitted Investment. The financial covenant now requires for any period of 4 consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or after the closing date of the acquisition of Parker's Aircraft Wheel and Brake division ("closing date"), the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, cannot be greater than 5.00 to 1.00 for any period of 4 consecutive quarters ending on or prior to the first anniversary of the closing date, 4.75 to 1.00 for any period of 4 consecutive quarters ending after the first anniversary and on or prior to second anniversary of the closing date, and 4.50 to 1.00 for any period of 4 consecutive quarters ending after the second anniversary of the closing date. In addition, the amendment adjusted the definitions of "permitted acquisition", "pro forma" and the "limited condition acquisition" provision, as applicable, to the acquisition of Parker's Aircraft Wheel and Brake division.

Debt issuance costs in connection with the Credit Agreement have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the agreement. In 2019, we incurred $3.6 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement. An additional $4.2 million of debt issuance costs were incurred in connection with the amendment of the Credit Agreement in 2022. Total amortization expense for the three-month fiscal periods ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021 was $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Total amortization expense for the six-month fiscal periods ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021 was $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Pension Freeze

Effective December 31, 2015, the Company's qualified pension plan was frozen with respect to future benefit accruals. Under USG Cost Accounting Standard (“CAS”) 413, the Company must determine the USG’s share of any pension curtailment adjustment calculated in accordance with CAS. Such adjustments can result in an amount due to the USG for pension plans that are in a surplus position or an amount due to the contractor for plans that are in a deficit position. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company accrued a $0.3 million liability representing its estimate of the amount due to the USG based on the Company's pension curtailment adjustment calculation, which was submitted to the USG for review in December 2016. The Company maintained its accrual at $0.3 million as of July 1, 2022. There can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

New Hartford Property

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

The Company's estimate of its portion of the cost to assess the environmental conditions and remediate this site is $2.3 million, all of which has been accrued. The remediation has been nearly completed and the Company continues to monitor the results of the remediation. The total amount paid to date in connection with these environmental remediation activities is $1.7$1.8 million. At July 1, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company had $0.6$0.5 million accrued for these environmental remediation activities. A portion ($0.1 million) of the accrual related to this property is included in other current liabilities and the balance is included in other long-term liabilities. The remaining balance of the accrual reflects the total anticipated cost of completing these environmental remediation activities. Although it is reasonably possible that additional costs will be paid in connection with the resolution of this matter, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of such additional costs, if any, at this time.

Bloomfield Property

In connection with the Company’s 2008 purchase of the portion of the Bloomfield campus that Kaman Aerospace Corporation had leased from NAVAIR, the Company assumed responsibility for environmental remediation at the facility as may be required under the Transfer Act and is currently remediating the property under the guidance of the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. The assumed environmental liability of $10.3 million was determined by taking the undiscounted estimated remediation liability of $20.8 million and discounting it at a rate of 8%. This remediation process will take many years to complete. The total amount paid to date in connection with these environmental remediation activities is $15.4 million. At July 1, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company had $1.9$2.1 million accrued for these environmental remediation activities. A portion ($0.2 million) of the accrual related to this property is included in other current liabilities, and the balance is included in other long-term liabilities. Although it is reasonably possible that additional costs will be paid in connection with the resolution of this matter, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of such additional costs, if any, at this time.

Offset Agreement

The Company has entered into offset agreements as a condition to obtaining orders from a foreignMiddle Eastern customer for the Company's JPF product. Offset agreements are designed to return economic value to the foreign country by requiring the Company to engage in activities supporting local defense or commercial industries, promoting a balance of trade, developing in-country technology capabilities or addressing other local development priorities. Such agreements may be satisfied through activities that do not require a direct cash payment, including transferring technology, providing manufacturing, training and other consulting support to in-country projects and the purchase by third parties of supplies from in-country vendors. The agreements may also be satisfied through the Company's use of cash for activities, such as subcontracting with local partners, purchasing supplies from in-country vendors, providing financial support for in-country projects and making investments in local ventures. At July 1, 2022,March 31, 2023, the aggregate amount of the Company's offset agreements had an outstanding notional value of approximately $220.9 million.million, which is equal to sixty percent of the contract value as defined by the agreement between the customer and the Company. The amount ultimately applied against offset agreements is based on negotiations with the customer and may require cash outlays that represent only a fraction of the notional value in the offset agreement.

Offset Agreement - continued

The Company continues to work with the customer to further define the requirements to satisfy the offset agreements. In February 2023, the Company announced that it received a Business Plan Approval Letter to establish a manufacturing and final assembly facility in collaboration with an in-country vendor, which will enhance the technological capabilities available in this country. Offset programs typically extend over several years and may provide for penalties in the event the Company fails to perform according to offset requirements. The satisfaction of the offset requirements will be determined by the customer. In the event the offset requirements of the contract are not met, the Company could be liable for potential penalties up to $18.8 million payable to the customer. Failure to satisfy the offset requirements could also negatively impact the Company's ability to attract future orders from this customer. The Company considers these potential penalties to be a reduction to the transaction price in its determination of the value of the performance obligations within these contracts. At July 1, 2022, $16.5March 31, 2023, $18.8 million in contract liabilities associated with the potential penalties of the offset requirements were included on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

GuaranteeGuarantees

During 2020, the Company and the USG entered into a Guaranty Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to guarantee the full, complete and satisfactory performance of its subsidiary, Kaman Precision Products, Inc. ("KPPI") under all current and future contracts with the USG. As of the date of this filing, the only contract in place between KPPI and the USG relates to the production and sale of the JPF. KPPI is currently fulfilling the requirements of Option 16. The guarantee was provided in lieu of a periodic financial capability review by the Financial Capacity Team ("FCT") of the Defense Contract Management Agency ("DCMA"). The Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantee as it is dependent on costs incurred by the USG in the event of default. Although the Company believes the risk of default is low given the maturity and operational performance of the JPF program, there can be no assurance that the guarantee will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

On September 16, 2022, the Company acquired all of the assets and related liabilities of Parker's Aircraft Wheel and Brake division. In association with the acquisition, the Company entered into a novation agreement in which Parker's contractual obligations with respect to Aircraft Wheel and Brake at the time of the acquisition were transferred to the Company. There can be no assurance that this agreement will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

16.13. COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

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

For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended July 2, 2021, respectively, 482,339 and 461,649645,403 shares issuable under equity awards granted to employees were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive based on the average stock price during the periods.

All outstanding stock awards were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share in the three-month fiscal period ended March 31, 2023 because their effect was antidilutive due to the net loss. For the three-month fiscal periods ended March 31, 2023, an additional 149,699 shares issuable under equity awards, which would have been dilutive if exercised based on the average market price being higher than the exercise price, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect was antidilutive due to the net loss.

Impacts from Current Economy

We are currently operating in a period of global economic uncertainty, which has been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability due to the ongoing military conflict between Ukraine and Russia, continuing U.S. sanctions on China's microchip manufacturing, the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and inflation and rising interest rates. U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions, including the military conflict in Ukraine and the resulting sanctions imposed on Russia. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, the conflict in Ukraine could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in credit and capital markets, increases in commodity prices, supply chain interruptions, as well as the potential for increased risk of cyber disruptions. We are continuing to monitor the situation in Ukraine, including its global effects, and assessing its potential impact on our business, including the timing of our sales as certain customers purchase safety stock for their own supply chains. Although our business has not been materially impacted by the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine as of the date of this filing, itwe have experienced higher utility costs at our Germany operations in light of the European Union’s sanctions on Russia. It is impossible to predict the extent to which our operations, or those of our customers or suppliers, will be impacted, or the ways in which the conflict may impact our business, cash flows or results of operations.

We also continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business and across the geographies in which we operate and serve customers, as well as the extent to which it has impacted and willmay continue to impact our customers, suppliers and other business partners. We are operating below pre-pandemic levels for ourcertain commercial aerospace products and we have seen some disruptions to our supply chain, such as delays in materials and components used in our manufacturing process; however, we continue to meet the demands of our customers.products. We are encouraged by the recoveries for these products and the strong order intake we saw in the first sixthree months of 2022; however, the developments related to COVID-19 variants make it difficult to predict the timing and magnitude of the recovery.2023.

The U.S. economy is experiencing broadabove forces have impacted our supply chain; we are seeing quality issues and rapid inflationdefects, part shortages and risingincreased lead times for certain parts. In addition to supply chain impacts, we have been and believe we will continue to be impacted by higher interest rates, as well as supply issues in material, services and labor due to economic policy, the pandemic and, more recently, the war in Ukraine.expense given our outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility with a floating interest rate. These impacts are likely to persist through 20222023 and beyond. To mitigate risks associated with the floating interest rate on our credit facility, we entered into interest rate swap agreements, effective January 1, 2023, for the purposes of hedging the eight quarterly variable-rate Credit Agreement interest payments due in 2023 and 2024. These swaps will provide a fixed interest rate on approximately 70% of the Company's total long-term debt. We cannot predict the impact on the Company’s end markets or input costs nor the ability of the Company to recover cost increases through pricing.

The decrease in the Precision Products segment was primarily driven by a $35.2 million reduction in JPF sales due to lower volume in the current year. This decrease was due in part to a $10.7 million JPF DCS delivery we had anticipated making in the second quarter of 2022 which we now expect to occur in the third quarter. This shift to the third quarter does not change our expectations for JPF for the full year. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in sales at our Engineered Products segment. Foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar had an unfavorable impact of $4.0$1.3 million on net sales. See Segment Results of Operations and Financial Condition below for further discussion of segment net sales.

For the Six Months Ended

Net sales for the six-month fiscal period ended July 1, 2022 decreased when compared to the corresponding period in 2021, primarily due to a 9.5% decrease in organic sales and $1.7 million in lower sales due to the sale of our former United Kingdom ("UK") Composites business in early 2021. The decrease in organic sales was attributable to $43.3 million in lower sales in our Precision Products segment and $10.7 million in lower organic sales at our Structures segment. The decrease in the Precision Products segment was primarily driven by a $37.8 million reduction in JPF sales due to lower volume in the current year, as discussed above. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in sales at our Engineered Products segment. Foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar had an unfavorable impact of $6.0 million on net sales.

Upon closing the sale of our former Distribution business, the Company entered into a TSA with the buyer, pursuant to which the Company agreed to support the information technology ("IT"), human resources and benefits, tax and treasury functions of the Distribution business for six to twelve months. The buyer exercised an option to extend the support period for up to one additional year for certain services. During the third quarter of 2021, the TSA expired and all services were completed as of the end of the period. As such, there were no costs incurred associated with TSA and no income earned from the TSA in the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended July 1, 2022. The Company incurred $1.0 million and $1.7 million in costs associated with the TSA, which were partially offset by $0.4 million and $0.9 million in income earned from the TSA in the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended July 2, 2021, respectively. The income earned from the TSA was included below operating income in income from transition services agreement on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.Brake.

TheIn December 2022, the Company hasbegan a review of all businesses and programs to increase efficiencies, improve working capital management and focus on sustainable and consistent revenue and profit generating activities. As a result of this review, the Company identified workforce reductions and other reductions in certain general and administrative expenses which resulted in $1.9 million and $2.1 million in restructuring and severanceareas to reduce annualized costs in the three-monthPrecision Products segment and six-month fiscal periods ended July 1, 2022, respectively.at Corporate through streamlining processes, consolidating the production of fuzes for the JPF program at its Middletown facility, discontinuing K-MAX® helicopter production and right-sizing the Company's total cost structure. In connection with these restructuring actions, the Company currently expects to incur approximately $10.0 to $12.0 million in total pre-tax restructuring charges, consisting of approximately $9.0 to $10.0 million of cash expenditures relating to various headcount reduction and personnel initiatives and approximately $1.0 to $2.0 million of cash expenditures relating to facility closing costs, which we anticipate will generate approximately $25.0 million in total annualized costs savings by 2024. In the three-month and six-month fiscal periodsperiod ended July 2, 2021,March 31, 2023, the Company incurred $1.5$2.2 million and $2.9 million in restructuring and severance costs associated with cost reduction efforts.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three-month and six-month fiscal periodsperiod ended July 1, 2022March 31, 2023 decreased when compared to 2021,the corresponding period in 2022, primarily due to reductions of $35.2 million and $37.8 million, respectively, in JPF sales due to lower volume in the current year. These decreases were due in part to a $10.7 million JPF DCS delivery we had anticipated making in the second quarter of 2022 which we now expect to occur in the third quarter. This shift to the third quarter does not change our expectations for JPF for the full year. Additionally contributing to the decrease was lower sales on certain legacy fuzingthe JPF program and our measuring programs. These decreases, totaling $12.6 million, were partially offset by higher sales on our K-MAX® spares and support and the AMRAAM®JASSM® fuzing program. In the three-month fiscal period, these decreases were also partially offset by the sale of a K-MAX® aircraft in the current period.

Major Programs/Product Lines

Below is a discussion of significant changes in major programs within the Precision Products segment during the first sixthree months of 2022.2023. See our 20212022 Form 10-K, including Item 1A, "Risk Factors", for a complete discussion of our major programs.

FMU-152 A/B – JPF

We manufacture and produce the JPF,FMU 152 A/B (the "JPF"), an electro-mechanical bomb safe and arming device, which allows the settings of a weapon to be programmed in flight. Sales of these fuzes can be direct to the USG,U.S. Government ("USG"), Foreign Military Sales ("FMS") through the USG and Direct Commercial Sales (“DCS”) to foreign militaries that, although not funded by or sold through the USG, require regulatory approvals from the USG.

A total of 4,0196,704 fuzes were delivered to our customers during the secondfirst quarter of 2022, bringing the year-to-date total2023. We expect to 10,039deliver 9,000 to 12,000 fuzes for the six-month fiscal period ended July 1,in 2023. Total JPF backlog at March 31, 2023 was $4.8 million, down from $20.0 million at December 31, 2022. We expect to deliver 25,000 to 30,000 fuzes in 2022. Total JPFrecognize the majority of this backlog at July 1, 2022 was $65.5 million, down from $103.4 million at December 31, 2021. Ofwithin the $65.5 million in backlog at July 1, 2022, no amounts require the receiptfirst half of export approvals, licenses or authorizations from the USG before we are permitted to ship the fuzes outside of the United States.2023.

Our JPF program continues to move throughwind down as it moves to the end of its product lifecycle, reflecting the previously announced decision of the United States Air Force ("USAF") to move from the JPF to the FMU-139 D/B (which we do not manufacture or produce) as its primary fuze system. During 2022, we completed the requirements under Option 15, which related solelyWe expect to the procurement of fuzes by 25 foreign militaries and, and, in 2022, we began to satisfy the requirements undercomplete Option 16 which has an expected total value of approximately $43.0

Similar to Option 15, this orderour JPF contract with the USG in the first half of 2023, which relates solely to the procurement of fuzes by or in support of foreign militaries and does not include any sales to the USAF. Option 16 extends FMU-152 A/B production into 2023. We have been advised by our customerThe USG has indicated that Option 16they will benot award us any future options; therefore, the last order under our JPF contract with the USG. While we do not expect the close-outfuture viability of our JPF contract with the USG to adversely impactprogram will depend entirely on our ability to continue to market and sell the FMU-152 A/B directlyJPF to foreign militaries in direct commercial sales transactions, in the event the foreign militaries move to the FMU-139 D/B, our financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely impacted.DCS transactions. We are currently in discussions with atwo Middle Eastern customercustomers for one or more follow-on orders aggregating to a minimum of $45.0 million. The final value of these orders will be dependent on volume and pricing agreed upon in the completed contracts. If received, these ordersmillion that would continue tofurther extend the life of the program. DCSprogram, but there can be no assurance as to the receipt, magnitude and timing of these orders. Moreover, any such orders, areif received, would be subject to the receipt of all necessary export approvals, licenses or authorizations. The timing and receipt of any such export approvals, licenses, orother authorizations needed to effectuate the sales, which are subject to political and geopolitical conditions that are beyond our control.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, we announced a restructuring plan that will lead to the permanent closure of our Orlando, Florida manufacturing facility by the end of 2024. The Company has begun to consolidate JPF production in its Middletown, Connecticut, facility as the facility has the potential capacity to deliver against future DCS orders.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three-month and six-month fiscal periodsperiod ended July 1, 2022 decreasedMarch 31, 2023 increased when compared to 2021,the corresponding period in 2022, primarily due to the wind down of the AH-1Z program, lower sales on certain composites programs and the disruption of incoming material due to a fire at one of the suppliers for our Sikorsky UH-60 BLACK HAWK program. Additionally, in the six-month fiscal period, lower sales on the A-10 program and the absence of sales from our former UK Composites business contributed to the decrease. These decreases, totaling $8.3 million and $18.1 million, respectively, were partially offset by higher sales on our programs with Rolls Royce, thecertain Sikorsky Combat Rescue Helicopter program, certain structures programs and composites programs. These increases, totaling $7.4 million, were partially offset by the wind down of the AH-1Z program and lower sales on our imagingSikorsky UH-60 BLACK HAWK program.

Operating Loss

The Structures segment incurred a lower operating loss for the three-month fiscal period ended July 1, 2022March 31, 2023 when compared to the comparablecorresponding period in 2021. This change was2022, primarily due to higher sales and gross profit on our Sikorsky Combat Rescue Helicopter program, our imaging program, and certain composite programs. These increases in gross profit of $1.7 million were partially offset by lower sales and associated gross profit on the Sikorsky UH-60 BLACK HAWK program and the AH-1Z program.

The Structures segment incurred a higher operating loss for the six-month fiscal period ended July 1, 2022 compared to the comparable period in 2021. This change was primarily due to lower sales and associated gross profit on the AH-1Z program, our Sikorsky UH-60 BLACK HAWK program and certain composite programs. These decreases in gross profit of $3.2 million were partially offsetdriven by higher sales and gross profit on our programs with Rolls Royce and certain composites programs. These increases in gross profit, totaling $1.0 million, were partially offset by lower sales and gross profit on the UH-60 Sikorsky BLACK HAWK program and lower gross profit on the Sikorsky Combat Rescue Helicopter program, and certain composite programs.Helicopter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Discussion and Analysis of Cash Flows

We assess liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund working capital requirements and investing and financing activities. Significant factors affecting liquidity include: cash flows generated from or used by operating activities, capital

Net cash used in operating activities was $27.0$5.5 million for the six-monththree-month fiscal period ended July 1, 2022, $12.2March 31, 2023, $4.4 million more than cash used in the comparable period in 2021.2022. This change was largely driven by the timing of collection of payments on outstanding receivables, more specifically significant receipts on JPF DCS receivables in the prior year, and lower net earnings in the current period, partially offset by the absence of approximately $25.1 million in nonrecurring payments to eligible participants of Bal Seal's employee retention plans, a $10.0 million pension contribution paid in the prior yearour Engineered Products segment and the timing of accounts payable.work performed on the JPF program, partially offset by lower incentive compensation payments and the receipt of approximately $10.0 million in income tax refunds in the current period.

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

the matters described in Note 15,12, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the cost of existing environmental remediation matters;
contributions to our qualified pension plan and Supplemental Employees’ Retirement Plan (“SERP”);
deferred compensation payments to officers;
interest payments on outstanding debt;
income tax payments;
costs associated with acquisitions and corporate development activities, including the funding of our Aircraft Wheel and Brake acquisition;activities;
finance and operating lease payments;
capital expenditures;
research and development expenditures;
repurchase of common stock under share repurchase programs;
payment of dividends;
costs associated with the start-up of new programs; and
the timing of payments and the extension of payment terms by our customers.

Financing Arrangements

We continue to rely upon bank financing as an important source of liquidity for our business activities, including acquisitions. We believe this, when combined with cash generated from operating activities, will be sufficient to support our anticipated future cash requirements; however, we may decide to borrow additional funds or raise additional equity capital to support other business activities, including potential future acquisitions. We regularly monitor credit market conditions to identify potential issues that may adversely affect, or provide opportunities for, the securing and/or advantageous pricing of additional financing, if any, that may be necessary to continue with our growth strategy and finance working capital requirements. Our long-term debt instruments will mature in 2024, as discussed below. We are currently assessing potential options for the refinancing of these instruments prior to their scheduled maturity. Refer to Note 14, Debt, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of the 20212022 Form 10-K for further information on our Financing Arrangements.
 
Convertible Notes

During May 2017, we issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior unsecured notes due May 2024 (the "2024 Notes") pursuant to an indenture, dated May 12, 2017, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated July 15, 2019, the "Indenture"). In connection therewith, we entered into certain capped call transactions that cover, collectively, the number of shares of the Company's common stock underlying the 2024 Notes. The 2024 Notes bear 3.25% interest per annum on the principal amount, payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2017. The 2024 Notes will mature on May 1, 2024, unless earlier repurchased by the Company or converted. We will settle any conversions of the 2024 Notes in cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election.

The sale of our former Distribution business in the third quarter of 2019 was deemed to be a "Fundamental Change" and a "Make-Whole Fundamental Change" pursuant to the terms and conditions of the indenture governing the 2024 Notes. As a result, the sale triggered the right of the holders of our 2024 Notes to require us to repurchase all of the 2024 Notes, or any portion thereof that is a multiple of $1,000 principal amount on September 27, 2019. The aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn was $0.5 million, representing approximately 0.25% of all outstanding notes. Holders of such notes received the repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes being purchase,purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

We incurred $7.4 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the sale of the 2024 Notes, which were allocated between the debt and equity components of the instrument at issuance. Of the total amount, $0.7 million was recorded as an offset to additional paid-in capital. The balance, $6.7 million, was recorded as a contra-debt balance and was being amortized over the term of the 2024 Notes. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the amount recorded to additional paid-in capital was reclassified to retained earnings in the cumulative effect adjustment recorded on January 1, 2022. The remaining balance of debt issuance costs is being amortized over the term of the convertible notes. Total amortization expense for the three-month
42


and six-month fiscal periods ended JulyMarch 31, 2023 and April 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021 was $0.3 million and $0.5$0.2 million, respectively. Refer to Note 2, Recent Accounting Standards, for further information on the adoption and impacts of ASU 2020-06.

Credit Agreement

On December 13, 2019, the Company closed an amended and restated $800.0 million Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent. The Credit Agreement matures on December 13, 2024 and consists of revolving commitments of $800.0 million. Capitalized terms used but not defined within this discussion of the Credit Agreement have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement, which with amendments is included as Exhibit 10.4310.42 to our 20212022 Form 10-K.

At March 31, 2023, $411.0 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Interest rates on amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement are variable based on LIBOR. The LIBOR benchmark has been the subject of national, international, and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. These reforms may cause LIBOR to perform differently than in the past, and LIBOR may ultimately cease to exist. Alternative benchmark rate(s) may replace LIBOR and could affect the Company's debt securities, derivative instruments, receivables, debt payments and receipts. An alternative rate may create additional basis risk for market participants as an alternative index is utilized alongside LIBOR. Key regulatory authorities have requested that banks cease entering into new contracts that use USD LIBOR as a reference rate, and do not permit new or existing non-USD LIBOR borrowings, by no later than December 31, 2021. Additionally, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee has recommended replacing USD LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”("SOFR"), which is calculated by short-term repurchase agreements. There can be no guarantee that SOFR will become widely used, or that any alternatives may or may not be developed.

In 2021, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to move its LIBOR benchmark for non-USD borrowings to other non-USD benchmark rates. Future USD borrowings under our current Credit Agreement will continue be based on LIBOR. At this time, it is not possible to predict the effect of any changes to LIBOR, the phase out of LIBOR or any establishment of alternative benchmark rates. Any new benchmark rate will likely not replicate LIBOR exactly, which could impact our contracts that terminate after 2023. There is uncertainty about how applicable law, the courts or the Company will address the replacement of LIBOR with alternative rates on variable rate retail loan contracts and other contracts that do not include alternative rate fallback provisions.

On May 31, 2022, the Credit Agreement was further amended to, among other things, adjust the Total Net Leverage Ratio financial covenant in anticipation of the consummation of the announced acquisition of Parker's Aircraft Wheel and Brake division. Refer to Note 13, Debt, for further information on this amendment.

No amounts were outstanding under the revolving credit facility in the second quarter of 2022; therefore, the. The interest rate for the periodat March 31, 2023 was 0%6.17%. We are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the unused revolving loan commitment amount at a rate ranging from 0.150% to 0.250% per annum, based on the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio. Fees for outstanding letters of credit range from 1.125% to 1.625%, based on the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio. There were noTotal average bank borrowings were $383.8 million during the six-monththree-month fiscal period ended July 1, 2022 andMarch 31, 2023. Total average bank borrowings were $120.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. As of March 31, 2023, the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio was 3.78, as calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement, as compared to the ceiling of 5.00 to 1.00.

(3) Amounts available for borrowing subject to EBITDA reflect the minimum borrowing capacity under EBITDA, subject to adjustments. On May 31, 2022, the Credit Agreement was further amended to, among other things, adjust the Total Net Leverage Ratio financial covenant in anticipation of the consummation of the announced acquisition of Parker's Aircraft Wheel and Brake division. If our Total Net Leverage Ratio was adjusted to 5.00 to 1.00 as of July 1, 2022, the amount available for borrowing subject to EBITDA would be $395.5 million. Refer to Note 13, Debt, for further information on this amendment.2022.

Debt issuance costs in connection with the Credit Agreement have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the agreement. In 2019, we incurred $3.6 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement. AnWe incurred an additional $4.2$4.4 million of debt issuance costs were incurred in connection with the amendment of the Credit Agreement in 2022. Total amortization expense for the three-month fiscal periods ended JulyMarch 31, 2023 and April 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021 was $0.3$0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Total amortization expense

Interest Rate Swaps

During 2022, we entered into interest rate swap agreements, effective January 1, 2023, for the six-month fiscal periods ended July 1, 2022purposes of hedging the eight quarterly variable-rate Credit Agreement interest payments due in 2023 and July 2, 2021 was $0.5 million2024. These interest rate swap agreements were designated as cash flow hedges and $0.4 million, respectively.intended to manage interest rate risk associated with our variable-rate borrowings and minimize the impact on our earnings and cash flows of interest rate fluctuations attributable to changes in SOFR. These interest rate swaps were not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023. Over the next twelve months, the income related to cash flow hedges expected to be reclassified from other comprehensive income is $0.3 million.

Other Sources/Uses of Capital

Near Earth Autonomy

Concurrent with the $10.0 million investment we made into Near Earth Autonomy, we entered into a Master Technology Maturation Agreement for a five-year initial term. The agreement requires the Company to contract with Near Earth Autonomy for a minimum spend of $1.0 million per year of the Company's own funds or $2.0 million per year from any source of revenue arranged by the Company.

Letters of Credit

Of the standby letters of credit under our credit facility, $46.1 million in letters of credit relate to a JPF DCS contract, including the offset agreement. In the event that we default on the contract and we are unable to fulfill our contractual obligations, our customer has the ability to draw on the letters of credit.

Pension Plans

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

No contributions are expected to be made to the qualified pension plan during 2022.2023. The Company contributed $0.3$0.1 million to the SERP through the end of the secondfirst quarter of 20222023 and plans to contribute an additional $0.2$0.4 million to the SERP in 2022. For the 2021 plan year, the Company contributed $10.0 million2023. No contribution was made to the qualified pension plan and $2.7we paid $0.5 million to the SERP.

Effective December 31, 2015, our qualified pension plan was frozen with respect to future benefit accruals. Under USG Cost Accounting Standard (“CAS”) 413, we must calculate the USG’s share of any pension curtailment adjustment calculated resulting from the freeze. Such adjustments can result in an amount due to the USG for pension plans that areSERP benefits in a surplus
44


position or an amount due to the contractor for plans that are in a deficit position. During the fourth quarter of 2016, we accrued a $0.3 million liability representing our estimate of the amount due to the USG based on our pension curtailment calculation, which was submitted to the USG for review in December 2016. We have maintained our accrual at $0.3 million as of July 1, 2022. There can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Share-based Arrangements

As of July 1, 2022,March 31, 2023, future compensation costs related to non-vested stock options, restricted stock grants and performance stock grants is $12.9$13.6 million. The Company anticipates that this cost will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.12.3 years.

Stock Repurchase Plans
31


On April 20, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program ("2022 Share Repurchase Program") authorizing the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of the common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company. We repurchase shares to offset the annual issuance of shares under our employee stock plans, but the timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including stock price, market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability and other factors, including acquisition opportunities. This plan replaces the authorization approved in April 2015.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

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

Organic Sales

Organic Sales is defined as "Net Sales" less sales derived from acquisitions completed or businesses disposed of that did not qualify for accounting as a discontinued operation during the previous twelve months. We believe that this measure provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of acquisitions, which can obscure underlying trends. We also believe that presenting Organic Sales separately provides management and investors with useful information about the trends impacting our operations and enables a more direct comparison to other businesses and companies in similar industries. Management recognizes that the term "Organic Sales" may be interpreted differently by other companies and under different circumstances.

Free Cash Flow

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

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in our contractual obligations or off-balance sheet arrangements during the first sixthree months of 2022.2023. See our 20212022 Form 10-K for a discussion of our contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 20212022 Form 10-K describe the critical accounting estimates and significant accounting policies used in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s exposure to market risk during the first sixthree months of 2022.2023. See the Company’s 20212022 Form 10-K for a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, as of July 1, 2022.March 31, 2023. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of July 1, 2022,March 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There was no change to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

General

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

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

While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, based upon available information, management believes that all settlements, arbitration awards and final judgments, if any, which are considered probable of being rendered against us in legal proceedings and that can be reasonably estimated are accrued for at July 1, 2022.March 31, 2023. Despite this analysis, there can be no assurance that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

As of July 1, 2022,March 31, 2023, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries was a party, nor was any of its or their property subject, to any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries. Additional information relating to certain of these matters is set forth in Note 15,12, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Aircraft Safety Matters

The Company designs, manufactures, services and sells complex and sophisticated aerospace parts, subassemblies and aircraft. These products are manufactured according to detailed specifications and are subject to strict approval or certification requirements. Technical, mechanical and other failures may occur as a result of manufacturing or design defects, operational processes or production issues attributable to us, our customers, suppliers, third party integrators or others. Due to the nature of the Company's business, liability claims may arise from accidents involving products the Company has manufactured, including claims for injury or death. Product or system failures could result in product recalls, regulatory directives and product liability and warranty claims (including claims related to the safety or reliability of our products). Such failures could also lead to service, repair and maintenance costs, damages and fines and regulatory and environmental liabilities. While management believes that the Company maintains adequate insurance for these risks, insurance cannot be obtained to protect against all risks and liabilities. It is therefore possible that the insurance coverage may not cover all claims or liabilities, and the Company may be forced to bear unanticipated costs or liabilities. As of March 31, 2023, the Company is party to pending litigation relating to an incident involving a K-MAX® helicopter that resulted in a fatality, and the Company has been notified of potential claims relating to another such incident. Each incident is the subject of one or more investigations undertaken by applicable civil aviation agencies located in the jurisdiction of the incident. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of any investigations, litigation or claims relating to these or other potential incidents, management believes that all such investigations, litigation or claims in existence at March 31, 2023, are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations or cash flows.

Environmental Matters

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to numerous U.S. federal, state and international environmental laws and regulatory requirements and are involved from time to time in investigations or litigation of various potential environmental issues concerning activities at our facilities or former facilities or remediation as a result of past activities (including past activities of companies we have acquired). From time to time, we receive notices from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or equivalent state or international environmental agencies that we are a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (commonly known as the “Superfund Act”) and/or equivalent laws. Such notices assert potential liability for cleanup costs at various sites, which may include sites owned by us, sites we previously owned and treatment or disposal sites not owned by us, allegedly containing hazardous substances attributable to us from past operations. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these proceedings, in the opinion of management, any payments we may be required to make as a result of all such claims in existence at July 1, 2022,March 31, 2023, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Investors should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors that could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows as set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 20212022 Form 10-K. Except as set forth below, we do not believe there have been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 20212022 Form 10-K, but we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in future filings with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe not to be material may also adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant disruptionCompany designs, manufactures, services and uncertaintysells complex and sophisticated aerospace parts, subassemblies and aircraft. These products are manufactured according to detailed specifications and are subject to strict approval or certification requirements. Technical, mechanical and other failures have occurred in the global economy. The public healthpast, and may occur in the future, whether as a result of manufacturing or design defects, operational processes or production issues resulting from COVID-19 and the precautionary measures instituted by governments and businessesattributable to mitigate its spread, such as quarantines, travel restrictions, business curtailments and school closures, have resulted in business and manufacturing disruptions, plant closures, inventory shortages, delivery delays, supply chain disruptions, and order reductions, cancellations and deferrals, all of which have adversely affected our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Although we continue to meet the demands ofus, our customers, we have seen some disruptions in our supply chain, suchsuppliers, third party integrators or others. Our products could also fail as delays in materials and components used in our manufacturing process, and we continue to operate below pre-pandemic levels for our commercial aerospace products. We are encouraged by the recoveries for these products and the strong order intake we saw in the first six monthsa result of 2022; however, the extent to which COVID-19 may adversely impact our business depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, the severity and duration of the pandemic and the effectiveness of actions taken globally to contain or mitigate its effects. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may experience adverse impacts to our business due to any resulting economic recession or depression. Additionally, concerns over the economic impact of COVID-19 have caused extreme volatility in financial and other capital markets which has, and may continue to, adversely impact our stock price and our ability to access capital markets. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this report and the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K,cyber-attacks, such as those relating tothat seize control and result in misuse or unintended use of our products, and financial performance.

The volatility in equity capital markets which may continue to adversely affect the market price of our common shares, which may affect our ability to fund our business through the sale of equity securities and retain key employees through our equity compensation plans.operations or cash flows.
