Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

On September 30, 2018, we adopted ASC 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers and the related amendments (ASC 606), using the modified retrospective method, as described above. ASC 606 was applied to contracts that were not completed as of September 29, 2018. Prior periods have not been restated and continue to be reported under the accounting standard in effect for those periods. Previously, we recognized revenue under ASC 605: Revenue Recognition (ASC 605).

Note 2 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers

We recognize revenue from contracts with customers using the five-step model prescribed in ASC 606. The first step is identifying the contract. The identification of a contract with a customer requires an assessment of each party’s rights and obligations regarding the products or services to be transferred, including an evaluation of termination clauses and presently enforceable rights and obligations. Each party’s rights and obligations and the associated terms and conditions are typically determined in purchase orders. For sales that are governed by master supply agreements under which provisions define specific program requirements, purchase orders are issued under these agreements to reflect presently enforceable rights and obligations for the units of products and services being purchased.

Contracts are sometimes modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. When this occurs, we assess the modification as prescribed in ASC 606 and determine whether the existing contract needs to be modified (and revenue cumulatively caught up), whether the existing contract needs to be terminated and a new contract needs to be created, or whether the existing contract remains and a new contract needs to be created. This is determined based on the rights and obligations within the modification as well as the associated transaction price.

Table of Contents

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

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

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

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

Under ASC 606, revenue recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method of accounting for the three and six months ended March 30, 2019 was 65% and 64%, respectively. The over time method of revenue recognition is predominantly used in Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls. We use this method for U.S. Government contracts and repair and overhaul arrangements as we are creating or enhancing assets that the customer controls as the assets are being created or enhanced. In addition, many of our large commercial contracts qualify for over time accounting as our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and we have enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Our over time contracts are primarily firm fixed price.

Revenue is recognized on contracts using the cost-to-cost method of accounting as work progresses toward completion as determined by the ratio of cumulative costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs at completion, multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative revenue recognized in prior periods. We believe that cumulative costs incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total contract costs at completion is an appropriate measure of progress toward satisfaction of performance obligations as this measure most accurately depicts the progress of our work and transfer of control to our customers. Changes in estimates affecting sales, costs and profits are recognized in the period in which the change becomes known using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting, resulting in the cumulative effect of changes reflected in the period. Estimates are reviewed and updated quarterly for substantially all contracts. For the three and six months ended March 30, 2019, we recognized lower revenues of$1,321 and higher revenues of $10,438, respectively, for adjustments made to performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods.

Contract costs include only allocable, allowable and reasonable costs which are included in cost of sales when incurred. For applicable U.S. Government contracts, contract costs are determined in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations and the related Cost Accounting Standards. The nature of these costs includes development engineering costs and product manufacturing costs such as direct material, direct labor, other direct costs and indirect overhead costs. Contract profit is recorded as a result of the revenue recognized less costs incurred in any reporting period. Variable consideration and contract modifications, such as performance incentives, penalties, contract claims or change orders are considered in estimating revenues, costs and profits when they can be reliably estimated and realization is considered probable. Revenue recognized on contracts for unresolved claims or unapproved contract change orders was not material for the three and six months ended March 30, 2019.

Table of Contents

As of March 30, 2019, we had contract and contract-related loss reserves of $49,383. For contracts with anticipated losses at completion, a provision for the entire amount of the estimated remaining loss is charged against income in the period in which the loss becomes known. Contract losses are determined considering all direct and indirect contract costs, exclusive of any selling, general or administrative cost allocations that are treated as period expenses. Loss reserves are more common on firm fixed-price contracts that involve, to varying degrees, the design and development of new and unique controls or control systems to meet the customers’ specifications. Contract-related loss reserves are recorded for the additional work needed on completed and delivered products in order for them to meet contract specifications. In accordance with ASC 606, we calculate contract losses at the contract level, versus the performance obligation level.

For the three and six months ended March 30, 2019, 35% and 36% of revenue, respectively, was recognized at the point in time control transferred to the customer. This method of revenue recognition is used most frequently in Industrial Systems. We use this method for commercial contracts in which the asset being created has an alternative use. We determine the point in time control transfers to the customer by weighing the five indicators provided by ASC 606 - the entity has a present right to payment; the customer has legal title; the customer has physical possession; the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership; and the customer has accepted the asset. When control has transferred to the customer, profit is generated as cost of sales is recorded and as revenue is recognized. Inventory costs include all product manufacturing costs such as direct material, direct labor, other direct costs and indirect overhead cost allocations. Shipping and handling costs are considered costs to fulfill a contract and not considered performance obligations. They are included in cost of sales as incurred.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

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

Total contract assets and contract liabilities as of March 30, 2019 are as follows:



	March 30, 2019		September 30, 2018
Unbilled receivables	$	430,901	$	405,610
Contract advances	169,836		152,608
Net contract assets	$	261,065	$	253,002

The increase in contract assets reflects the net impact of additional unbilled revenues recorded in excess of revenue recognized during the period. The increase in contract liabilities reflects the net impact of additional deferred revenues recorded in excess of revenue recognized during the period. For the three and six months ended March 30, 2019, we recognized $46,078 and $93,586 of revenue, respectively, that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of March 30, 2019, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied), also known as backlog, was approximately $2,230,000. We expect to recognize approximately 73% of that amount as sales over the next twelve months and the balance thereafter.

Note 23 - Acquisitions, Divestitures and Equity Method Investments

In the first quarter of 2019, we sold a non-core business of our Industrial Systems segment for $4,191 in cash and recorded a gain in other income of $2,641.

On April 30, 2018, we acquired Electro-Optical Imaging, a designer and manufacturer of video trackers and imaging products, located in Florida, for a purchase price, net of acquired cash, of $5,442. This operation is included in our Space and Defense Controls segment.

On March 29, 2018, we acquired a 100% ownership interest in VUES Brno s.r.o ("Vues") located in the Czech Republic, which included a 74% ownership interest in a subsidiary located in Germany. The purchase price, net of acquired cash, was $64,140, consisting of $42,961 in cash and $21,179 of assumed debt. VUES designs and manufactures electric motors and generators, and provides customized solutions. On September 6, 2018, we acquired the remaining 26% noncontrolling interest for $1,843 in cash. The difference between the cash paid and the adjustment to the noncontrolling interest is reflected in additional paid-in capital. This operation is included in our Industrial Systems segment. The purchase price allocations for this acquisition are complete.

On October 3, 2017, we, in collaboration with SIA Engineering Company, announced the joint venture company, Moog Aircraft Services Asia ("MASA"), in Singapore, of which we currently hold a 51% ownership. MASA is intended to provide maintenance, repair and overhaul services for our manufactured flight control systems. As we hold a majority ownership in MASA, but share voting control, we are accounting for this investment using the equity method. ~~At December~~As of March 30, ~~2017,~~2019, we have made total contributions of ~~$1,541 to MASA and intend to make~~ ~~two~~ ~~additional contributions during 2018.~~$5,100. This operation is included in our Aircraft Controls segment.

~~In 2017, we sold non-core businesses of our Space and Defense Controls segment for $7,210 in cash and recorded losses in other expense of $13,119 related to the sales.~~

In 2018, we changed our segment reporting structure as our former Components segment was separated and merged into Space and Defense Controls and Industrial Systems. As a result, the September 30, 2017 balances for those segments were restated to reflect this change. Goodwill for Space and Defense Controls and Industrial Systems increased by $86,995 and $224,194, respectively, than what was previously reported.

Goodwill in our Space and Defense Controls segment is net of a $4,800 accumulated impairment loss at ~~December~~March 30, ~~2017.~~2019.

Goodwill in our Medical Devices reporting unit, included in our Industrial Systems segment, is net of a $38,200 accumulated impairment loss at ~~December~~March 30, ~~2017.~~2019.

Our U.S. revolving credit facility matures on June 28, 2021. Our U.S. revolving credit facility has a capacity of $1,100,000 and provides an expansion option, which permits us to request an increase of up to $200,000 to the credit facility upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets. The loan agreement contains various covenants which, among others, specify interest coverage and maximum ~~leverage and capital expenditures.~~leverage. We are in compliance with all covenants.

The SECT has a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $35,000, maturing on July 26, 2020. Interest is based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin. A commitment fee is also charged based on a percentage of the unused amounts available and is not material.

At ~~December~~March 30, ~~2017,~~2019, we had $300,000 ~~aggregate~~ principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due December 1, 2022 with interest paid semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The senior notes are unsecured obligations, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain subsidiaries and contain normal incurrence-based covenants and limitations such as the ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make other restricted payments and investments, create liens and certain corporate acts such as mergers and consolidations.

The Securitization Program, effectively increasing our borrowing capacity by up to $130,000, was extended on October ~~23, 2017~~30, 2018 and now matures on October ~~23, 2019. The Securitization Program provides up to $130,000 of borrowing capacity.~~30, 2020. Under the Securitization Program, we sell certain trade receivables and related rights to an affiliate, which in turn sells an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the trade receivables to a financial institution, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. Interest for the Securitization Program is based on 30-day LIBOR plus an applicable margin. A commitment fee is also charged based on a percentage of the unused amounts available and is not material. The agreement governing the Securitization Program contains restrictions and covenants which include limitations on the making of certain restricted payments, creation of certain liens, and certain corporate acts such as mergers, consolidations and sale of substantially all assets. The Securitization Program has a minimum borrowing requirement equal to the lesser of either 80% of our borrowing capacity or 100% of our borrowing base, which is a subset of the trade receivables sold under this agreement. As of ~~December~~March 30, ~~2017,~~2019, our minimum borrowing requirement was $104,000.

Note 89 - Derivative Financial Instruments

We principally use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk associated with long-term debt and foreign exchange risk related to foreign operations and foreign currency transactions. We enter into derivative financial instruments with a number of major financial institutions to minimize counterparty credit risk.

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments

Interest rate swaps are used to adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable and fixed interest rates. The interest rate swaps are designated as hedges of the amount of future cash flows related to interest payments on variable-rate debt that, in combination with the interest payments on the debt, convert a portion of the variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. At ~~December~~March 30, ~~2017,~~2019, we had interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling ~~$150,000.~~$105,000. The interest rate swaps effectively convert this amount of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt at ~~2.62%~~2.99%, including the applicable margin of ~~1.38%~~1.63% as of ~~December~~March 30, ~~2017.~~2019. The interest will revert back to variable rates based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin upon the maturity of the interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps mature at various times through June 23, 2020.

We use foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges to effectively fix the exchange rates on future payments and revenue. To mitigate exposure in movements between various currencies, including the Philippine peso, ~~and~~ the British pound and the Czech koruna, we had outstanding foreign currency forwards with notional amounts of ~~$51,608~~$69,048 at ~~December~~March 30, ~~2017.~~2019. These contracts mature at various times through ~~November 29, 2019.~~February 26, 2021.

We use forward currency contracts to hedge our net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. As of March 30, 2019, we had no outstanding net investment hedges.

These interest rate swaps, ~~and~~ foreign currency contracts and net investment hedges are recorded in the ~~consolidated condensed balance sheets~~Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at fair value and the related gains or losses are deferred in ~~shareholders’ equity~~Shareholders’ Equity as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCIL). These deferred gains and losses are reclassified into the ~~consolidated condensed statements~~Consolidated Condensed Statements of ~~earnings~~Earnings, as necessary, during the periods in which the related payments or receipts affect earnings. However, to the extent the interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts are not perfectly effective in offsetting the change in the value of the payments and revenue being hedged, the ineffective portion of these contracts is recognized in earnings immediately. Ineffectiveness was not material in the first ~~three~~six months of ~~2018~~2019 or ~~2017.~~2018.

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

We also have foreign currency exposure on balances, primarily intercompany, that are denominated in foreign currencies and are adjusted to current values using period-end exchange rates. The resulting gains or losses are recorded in the ~~consolidated condensed statements~~Consolidated Condensed Statements of ~~earnings.~~Earnings. To minimize foreign currency exposure, we had foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of ~~$107,528~~$78,359 at ~~December~~March 30, ~~2017.~~2019. The foreign currency contracts are recorded in the ~~consolidated condensed balance sheets~~Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at fair value and resulting gains or losses are recorded in the ~~consolidated condensed statements~~Consolidated Condensed Statements of ~~earnings.~~Earnings. We recorded the following gains or losses on foreign currency contracts which are included in other income or expense and generally offset the gains or losses from the foreign currency adjustments on the intercompany balances that are also included in other income or expense:

Note 910 - Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. The definition of the fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.

Level 3 – Inputs for which significant valuation assumptions are unobservable in a market and therefore value is based on the best available data, some of which is internally developed and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.

Our derivatives are valued using various pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses that incorporate observable market data, such as interest rate yield curves and currency rates, and are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

The following table presents the fair values and classification of our financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, all of which are classified as Level 2.

Note 1112 - Restructuring

In the second quarter of 2018, we initiated restructuring actions in conjunction with exiting the wind pitch controls business within our Industrial Systems segment. These actions have resulted in workforce reductions, principally in Germany and China. The restructuring charge in 2018 consisted of $12,198 of non-cash inventory reserves, $12,316 of non-cash charges for the impairment of intangible assets, $2,162 of non-cash charges, primarily for the impairment of other long-lived assets, $7,969 for severance, $3,130 for facility closure and $3,217 for other costs.

Restructuring activity for severance and other costs is as follows:

Note 1213 - Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended~~December~~ March 30, ~~2017 was 97.3%.~~2019 were 23.8% and 24.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate for this period is higher than would be expected by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% to earnings before income taxes primarily due to tax on earnings generated outside of the U.S.

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 were 45.6% and 79.2%, respectively. The effective tax rate for this period was significantly impacted by the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") of 2017.

The Act was enacted on December 22, 2017. It ~~reduces~~reduced the USU.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, ~~requires~~required companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred and ~~creates~~created new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings. ~~As of December 30, 2017,~~In 2018, we ~~have~~recorded provisional amounts by applying the guidance in SAB 118, as we had not yet completed the accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the ~~Act; however, as described below,~~Act. For the year ended September 29, 2018, we ~~have made a reasonable estimate of the effects on the one-time transition~~recorded tax ~~withholding taxes deemed~~expense related to be repatriated and existing deferred tax balances. These amounts are provisional and subject to change as the determination of the impact of the income tax effects will require additional analysis of historical records, annual data and further interpretation of the Act ~~from yet to be issued U.S. Treasury regulations.~~

~~During~~of $30,795 for the ~~three months ended December 30, 2017 we recorded a $31,000,~~ one-time transition tax on undistributed foreign earnings deemed to be repatriated and a tax charge of ~~$15,250~~$10,383 as an additional provision for ~~withholding~~ taxes on undistributed earnings not considered to be permanently reinvested. ~~No additional income taxes have been provided for any remaining undistributed foreign earnings not subject~~These charges were partially offset by a $10,946 benefit due to the ~~transition~~remeasurement of deferred tax ~~or any additional outside basis difference inherent in these entities, as these amounts continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations.~~assets and liabilities arising from the lower U.S. corporate tax rate. Determining the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to any remaining undistributed foreign earnings not subject to the transition tax and additional outside basis difference in these entities is not practicable. ~~These charges are partially offset~~

Upon further analysis of the Act and notices and regulations issued and proposed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service, we finalized our calculations of the transition tax liability with no further amounts recorded in the six months ended March 30, 2019.

Some of the provisions of the Act become effective for us in 2019, which include a ~~$12,225 benefit due~~Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) provision that imposes U.S. tax on certain foreign subsidiary income in the year it is earned. Our accounting policy is to treat tax on the ~~remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from~~GILTI as a ~~lower U.S. corporate tax rate, which took into account our decision to accelerate pension contributions into our 2017 pension plan year. This allows the pension contribution tax deduction to be taken~~current period cost included in ~~our 2017 federal~~ income tax ~~return which is taxed at~~expense in the ~~35% federal rate.~~year incurred.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was 17.6%. The effective tax rate for this period is lower than would be expected by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate to earnings before income taxes primarily from tax benefits associated with selling our European space businesses.

Note 1819 - Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings. We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings which management believes will result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We are engaged in administrative proceedings with governmental agencies and legal proceedings with governmental agencies and other third parties in the normal course of our business, including litigation under Superfund laws, regarding environmental matters. We believe that adequate reserves have been established for our share of the estimated cost for all currently pending environmental administrative or legal proceedings and do not expect that these environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In the ordinary course of business we could be subject to ongoing claims or disputes from our customers, the ultimate settlement of which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations. While the receivables and any loss provisions recorded to date reflect management's best estimate of the projected costs to complete a given project, there may still be significant effort required to complete the ultimate deliverable. Future variability in internal cost as well as future profitability is dependent upon a number of factors including deliveries, performance and government budgetary pressures. The inability to achieve a satisfactory contractual solution, further unplanned delays, additional developmental cost growth or variations in any of the estimates used in the existing contract analysis could lead to further loss provisions. Additional losses could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the period in which the loss may be recognized.

We are contingently liable for ~~$48,793~~$35,285 of standby letters of credit issued ~~by a bank~~ to third parties on our behalf at ~~December~~March 30, ~~2017.~~2019.

The remainder of our sales are recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership and title to the product are transferred to the customer, principally as units are delivered or as service obligations are satisfied. Thisover time method of revenue recognition is predominantly used ~~within~~in Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls. We use this method for U.S. Government contracts and repair and overhaul arrangements as we are creating or enhancing assets that the customer controls. In addition, many of our large commercial contracts qualify for over time accounting as our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and we have enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

For the quarter ended March 30, 2019, 35% of revenue was recognized at the point in time control transferred to the customer. This method of revenue recognition is used most frequently in Industrial ~~Systems segment,~~Systems. We use this method for commercial contracts in which the asset being created has an alternative use. We determine the point in time control transfers to the customer by weighing the five indicators provided by ASC 606. When control has transferred to the customer, profit is generated as ~~well~~cost of sales is recorded and as ~~with aftermarket activity.~~revenue is recognized.

Additionally, we take a balanced approach to capital deployment, which may include strategic acquisitions or further share buyback activity, in order to maximize shareholder returns over the long-term.

Acquisitions, Divestitures and ~~Divestitures~~Equity Method Investments

All of our acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method and, accordingly, the operating results for the acquired companies are included in the consolidated statements of earnings from the respective dates of acquisition. Under purchase accounting, we record assets and liabilities at fair value and such amounts are reflected in the respective captions on the consolidated balance sheets. The purchase price described for each acquisition below is net of any cash acquired, includes debt issued or assumed and the fair value of contingent consideration.

In ~~2017,~~the first quarter of 2019, we sold a non-core business of our Industrials Systems segment for $4 million in cash and recorded a gain in other income of $3 million.

On April 30, 2018, we acquired ~~Rotary Transfer Systems,~~Electro-Optical Imaging, a designer and manufacturer of ~~electromechanical systems,~~video trackers and imaging products, located in Florida, for $5 million. This operation is included in our Space and Defense Controls segment.

On March 29, 2018, we acquired a 100% ownership interest in VUES Brno s.r.o ("Vues") located in the Czech Republic, which included a 74% ownership interest in a subsidiary located in Germany, for $64 million. VUES designs and ~~France~~manufactures electric motors and generators, and provides customized solutions. On September 6, 2018, we acquired the remaining 26% noncontrolling interest for ~~$43 million.~~$2 million in cash. This ~~acquisition~~operation is included in our Industrial Systems segment. ~~We also sold non-core businesses~~

On October 3, 2017, we, in collaboration with SIA Engineering Company, announced the joint venture company, Moog Aircraft Services Asia ("MASA"), in Singapore, of which we currently hold a 51% ownership. MASA is intended to provide maintenance, repair and overhaul services for our manufactured flight control systems. As we hold a majority ownership in MASA, but share voting control, we are accounting for this investment using the equity method. As of March 30, 2019, we have made total contributions of $5 million to MASA. This operation is included in our ~~Space and Defense~~Aircraft Controls ~~segment for $7 million and recorded losses in other expense of $13 million related to the sales.~~

segment.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

On a regular basis, we evaluate the critical accounting policies used to prepare our consolidated financial statements, including, but not limited to, revenue recognition on long-term contracts, contract and contract-related loss reserves, reserves for inventory valuation, reviews for impairment of goodwill, reviews for impairment of long-lived assets, pension assumptions and income taxes. See Note 121 of the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Item 1, Financial Statements of this report for the impact of the ~~enactment~~adoption of ~~the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.~~ASC 606.

Other than ~~that described below,~~the adoption of ASC 606, there have been no material changes in critical accounting policies in the current year from those disclosed in our ~~2017~~2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

~~Reviews for Impairment of Goodwill~~

~~Interim Test~~

Effective October 1, 2017, we changed our segment reporting structure from four to three reporting segments. The former Components reporting segment has been divided and merged into the Space and Defense Controls and Industrial Systems reporting segments. This change also impacted the reporting units we use to review goodwill for impairment. Based on the accounting rules that require aggregation of components with similar economic characteristics, we have changed the number of reporting units from five to four - Aircraft Controls, Space and Defense Controls, Industrial Systems and Medical Devices.

We transferred or allocated the assets and liabilities of the former Components business including the proportionate share of goodwill based on the relative fair value of the business to the new respective reporting units - Space and Defense Controls and Industrial Systems. We then compared the fair values to the carrying values of the reporting units and the resulting fair values exceeded the carrying values, so we determined that goodwill was not impaired.

2330

Table of Contents

The fair value of each of these two reporting units exceeded the carrying amounts by over 100%. While any individual assumption could differ from those that we used, we believe the overall fair values of these reporting units are reasonable, as the values are derived from a mix of reasonable assumptions. Had we used discount rates that were 100 basis points higher or a terminal growth rate that was 100 basis points lower than those we assumed, the fair values of each of these reporting units would have continued to exceed their carrying amounts by at least 80%.

Net sales increased ~~across all of our segments~~in the second quarter and in the first half of 2019 compared to the second quarter and first half of 2018, largely attributable to organic sales growth within Space and Defense Controls and Aircraft Controls.

Gross margin decreased in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018. Gross profit in the second quarter of 2019 included a $10 million charge associated with a supplier quality issue within Aircraft Controls. Gross profit in the second quarter of 2018 ~~compared~~included a $7 million inventory write-down associated with the decision to exit the wind pitch controls business in Industrial Systems. Excluding both of these charges, gross margin was relatively unchanged in both the second quarter and the first ~~quarter~~half of ~~2017.~~

~~Gross margin was unchanged in the first quarter of 2018~~2019 compared to the same ~~period~~periods of ~~2017. Aircraft Controls'~~2018. Gross margin increased in Industrial Systems, due partly to the absence of the low-margin wind pitch controls business. Mostly offsetting the increased gross margin ~~increased due primarily to a more favorable~~was an unfavorable sales mix ~~from foreign military sales; however,~~in Space and Defense ~~Controls' gross margin decreased due to the reduced amount of last year's favorable defense controls sales.~~Controls.

Research and development expenses ~~decreased~~declined in both the second quarter and the first ~~quarter~~half of ~~2018~~2019 compared to the same ~~period~~periods of ~~2017. Within Aircraft Controls, research and development expenses decreased $4 million, as we had~~2018, driven by lower activity across our major commercial OEM ~~programs. The reduced spend was offset by increases~~programs in ~~research and development activities across our remaining two segments.~~Aircraft Controls.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased in the second quarter and in the first half of 2019 compared to the same periods of 2018. The decrease relates to the incremental margin from higher sales, as well as lower medical claim expenses.

Interest expense increased in the second quarter and the first half of 2019 compared to the second quarter and the first half of 2018 due to higher interest rates on outstanding debt.

In the second quarter of 2018, we decided to exit our wind pitch controls business and incurred $31 million of restructuring expense in Industrial Systems. Of the total expense in the second quarter of 2018, the charges consisted of $7 million of non-cash inventory reserves, $14 million of non-cash charges, primarily for the impairment of long-lived assets, $7 million for severance and $2 million for other costs.

Other expense increased in the first half of 2019 compared to the first half of 2018. Non-service pension expense increased $3 million and the loss associated with foreign currencies increased $1 million. Partly offsetting the higher expenses was a $3 million gain on the sale of a small non-core business in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017. Administrative expense increased $3 million due to the timing of expenses in the prior year's quarter, and we had higher planned selling expense in select growth markets.

~~Other expense in the first quarter of 2017 includes $9 million of losses associated with selling our European space businesses.~~2019.

The effective tax rate in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2018 was impacted by limited tax benefits associated with the restructuring charges taken in foreign jurisdictions of our Industrial Systems segment. In addition, the effective tax rate in 2018 was significantly impacted by the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. ~~We recorded a $31 million,~~Excluding the one-time transition tax on undistributed foreign earnings deemed to be repatriated and a tax charge of $15 million as an additional provision for withholding taxes on undistributed earnings not considered to be permanently reinvested. No additional income taxes have been provided for any remaining undistributed foreign earnings not subject to the transition tax, or any additional outside basis difference inherent in these entities, as these amounts continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. Determining the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to any remaining undistributed foreign earnings not subject to the transition tax and additional outside basis difference in these entities is not practicable. These charges are partially offset by a $12 million benefit due to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from a lower U.S. corporate tax rate, which took into account our decision to accelerate pension contributions into our 2017 pension plan year. This allows the pension contribution tax deduction to be taken in our 2017 federal income tax return which is taxed at the 35% federal rate. Excluding all of thespecial impacts due to the Act, the effective tax rate for the first ~~quarter~~half of 2018 was ~~29.6%~~29.2%.

~~Our effective tax rate in 2017 is lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate, as it included the tax benefits associated with divesting our European space businesses. Excluding the impact~~

Table of ~~the divestiture, the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2017 was 28.7%.~~Contents

Other comprehensive income in the ~~first~~second quarter of ~~2018~~2019 includes ~~$10~~$1 million of foreign currency translation ~~income. Other~~gain, whereas other comprehensive ~~loss~~income in the ~~first~~second quarter of ~~2017~~2018 includes ~~$42~~$20 million of foreign currency translation ~~loss. Foreign~~gain. The change in foreign currency translation ~~adjustments increased $52 million during this period,~~is primarily attributable to ~~changes~~the depreciation of the Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar.

The change in foreign currency translation is primarily attributable to the depreciation of the Euro and the British ~~Pound.~~Pound relative to the U.S. Dollar.

The twelve-month backlog at March 30, 2019 compared to March 31, 2018 increased in our aerospace and defense business. Within Aircraft Controls, backlog increased due to the timing of orders for military aircraft, driven primarily by the F-35 program, as well as the timing of orders for commercial aircraft, primarily related to the Boeing 787 program. Also within Space and Defense Controls, backlog increased supporting the expected incremental sales for missiles and defense components. The twelve-month backlog for our industrial business decreased as lost energy orders related to the decision to exit the wind pitch controls business more than offset higher orders for our medical products.

SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Effective October 1, 2017, we changed our segment reporting structure to three reporting segments. Our former Components segment has been separated and merged into Space and Defense Controls and Industrial Systems. All amounts have been restated to conform to the current presentation.

Operating profit, as presented below, is net sales less cost of sales and other operating expenses, excluding interest expense, equity-based compensation expense and other corporate expenses. Cost of sales and other operating expenses are directly identifiable to the respective segment or allocated on the basis of sales, manpower or profit. Operating profit is reconciled to earnings before income taxes in Note 1617 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this report.

The increase in Aircraft Controls' net sales ~~increased~~in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018 was primarily driven by increases in commercial ~~aircraft programs~~OEM programs. Additionally, the sales increase in the first ~~quarter~~half of ~~2018~~2019 compared to the first half of 2018 was driven by increases in military OEM and aftermarket programs, as well as commercial OEM programs.

In the second quarter of ~~2017, but were partially offset by military aircraft~~2019, commercial OEM sales ~~declines.~~

~~Commercial~~increased $13 million compared to the second quarter of 2018. Higher volumes for the Airbus A350 and the Boeing 787 programs increased sales $7 million and $6 million, respectively. Partially offsetting the commercial OEM ~~and~~sales increase was a $3 million decline in commercial aftermarket sales, ~~each~~driven by lower activity on the Boeing 787 program. Also in the second quarter of 2019, military OEM sales declined $7 million, as the high level of helicopter sales in the second quarter of 2018 did not repeat. Mostly offsetting the decline was a $6 million increase in military aftermarket sales, driven by higher V-22 and F-35 spares sales.

In the first half of 2019 compared to the first half of 2018, military OEM sales increased $7$11 million. Favorable order timing and higher production rates increased sales $18 million for the F-35 program. Partially offsetting the increase was the second quarter's lower helicopter sales. Military aftermarket sales also increased $11 million in the first half of 2019, driven by higher spares activity for the V-22 program. Additionally in the first half of 2019, commercial OEM sales increased $16 million, as higher volumes on the Boeing 787 program increased sales $9 million and higher demand for business jets increased sales $8 million. Partially offsetting the commercial OEM sales growth was a $3 million decline in commercial aftermarket sales, driven mostly by order timing for Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 programs.

Operating margin in the second quarter of 2019 included a $10 million charge related to a supplier quality issue. Excluding this charge, operating margin increased compared to the second quarter of 2018, ~~compared to~~as well as the first ~~quarter~~half of 2017. OEM sales for the Airbus A350 increased $5 million due to the program's production volume ramp up, while aftermarket sales for the A350 increased $4 million due to higher initial provisioning. Additionally, aftermarket sales for legacy Boeing programs increased $4 million due to higher repair activity.

~~Military aftermarket sales declined $5 million in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017~~2018. The increase is due primarily to ~~production delays on the V-22 program. Military OEM sales were relatively flat, as higher foreign military sales were mostly offset by~~$3 million and $5 million, respectively, of lower ~~F-35 sales. In the first quarter of 2017, F-35 sales were high due to a production increase ahead of an upcoming milestone delivery.~~

~~Operating margin increased in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017. Research~~research and development expenses ~~decreased $4 million, as we had lower activity on~~across our major ~~commercial~~ OEM programs. ~~Additionally, operating profit benefited from higher amounts of foreign military sales.~~

~~The decrease of twelve-month backlog for Aircraft Controls at December 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016 is primarily due to the timing of orders for the F-35.~~

The increase in Space and Defense Controls' net sales ~~increased~~ in ~~our space~~the second quarter and ~~our defense markets~~ in the first half of 2019 compared to the second quarter and the first half of 2018 was driven by increases in our defense market.

In the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018, sales in our defense market increased $26 million across all of our major programs. Sales for missile applications increased $6 million due to higher volumes on both production and funded development programs. Also defense controls sales increased $5 million, driven primarily by higher sales for our new turret system. In addition, sales for defense components increased $5 million and sales for naval systems increased $4 million due to higher orders. Security sales increased $2 million due to the Electro-Optical Imaging acquisition. Partly offsetting the defense market sales increases was a $4 million sales decline in the space market, driven primarily by timing for satellite components and avionics programs.

In the first half of 2019 compared to the first half of 2018, sales in our defense market increased $48 million across all of our major programs, driven by the same factors in the second quarter. Sales increased $15 million in missile applications, $10 million for defense controls, $7 million for security, $7 million for components and $7 million for naval systems. These defense market increases were slightly offset by the second quarter decline in the space market.

Operating margin increased in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018, due to higher sales volume combined with relatively flat selling and administrative expenses. Partially offsetting the increase was an unfavorable sales mix, as we had lower amounts of production sales this year and higher amounts of acquired sales at a lower margin. The unfavorable sales mix also offset the incremental margins from the higher sales volume in the first half of 2019 compared to the same period of ~~2017. Partially offsetting~~2018.

~~2018~~2019 Outlook – We expect ~~that all three segments will contribute~~higher amounts of defense sales within both Space and Defense Controls and Aircraft Controls to ~~higher~~drive the increased 2019 sales. We also expect commercial aircraft sales ~~in 2018,~~growth driven ~~primarily~~ by ~~industrial automation sales in~~major OEM program ramp-ups. In addition, we expect Industrial Systems ~~and military OEM~~acquisitive growth will offset the lost sales ~~for the F-35 program in Aircraft Controls.~~associated with our wind pitch controls business. We expect ~~2018~~the 2019 operating margin will increase due to the absence of ~~2017's losses~~the 2018 charges associated with ~~divesting non-core businesses,~~exiting the wind pitch controls business, as well as incremental margin from higher sales. ~~However, we expect that~~Net earnings in 2019, relative to 2018, will benefit due to the ~~impact~~absence of the unusually high effective tax rate due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Excluding the impacts from the wind charge and the one-time special impacts from the Tax Act ~~will result~~ in ~~an unusually high effective tax rate of 42% in 2018. This will result in a 12% decrease in~~2018, we expect net earnings ~~attributable~~ to ~~common shareholders to $124 million, and~~increase 8% from an adjusted net earnings in 2018 of $165 million. We expect diluted earnings per share will range between ~~$3.23~~$4.85 and ~~$3.63~~$5.25, with a midpoint of $3.43. Excluding all of the impacts due to the Act, we expect an effective tax rate of 31%, net earnings attributable to common shareholders of $148 million and diluted earnings per share will range between $3.90 and $4.30, with a midpoint of $4.10, an increase of 5% compared to 2017.$5.05.

~~2018~~2019 Outlook for Aircraft Controls – We expect ~~2018~~2019 sales in Aircraft Controls will increase primarily due to the continued ramp ups of the F-35, ~~program~~the Boeing 787 and the Airbus A350 ~~program.~~programs. Partially offsetting the increases is an expected sales decline of ~~legacy Boeing OEM programs.~~commercial aftermarket programs, as the favorable order timing in 2018 does not repeat in 2019. We expect ~~2018~~2019 operating margin will ~~increase~~decrease compared to ~~2017. We expect that research and development costs will decrease $6 million and that we will continue~~2018 due to ~~realize~~ the ~~benefits~~supplier quality charge in the second quarter of ~~cost saving activities.

Excluding this charge, we expect operating margin to increase, due to a ~~negative~~more favorable sales mix from higher military aftermarket sales, as ~~sales on our mature commercial programs are replaced with sales growth~~well as improving costs on newer commercial programs.

~~2018~~2019 Outlook for Space and Defense Controls – We expect ~~2018~~2019 sales in Space and Defense Controls will increase due to higher sales ~~growth from launch vehicles~~volumes on missile programs, and ~~satellite programs.

Our available borrowing capacity and our cash flow from operations provide us with the financial resources needed to run our operations, reinvest in our business and make strategic acquisitions.

At ~~December~~March 30, ~~2017,~~2019, our cash balances were ~~$395~~$112 million, which is primarily held outside of the U.S. Cash flow from our U.S. operations, together with borrowings on our credit facility, fund on-going activities, debt service requirements and future growth investments. ~~Due to provisions in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, we plan to repatriate substantial amounts of our existing offshore cash and future earnings back to the U.S.~~

Net cash provided by operating activities ~~decreased~~increased in the first ~~quarter~~half of ~~2018~~2019 compared to the same period of ~~2017. Operationally, increases in~~2018. In 2019, pension contributions decreased $83 million.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND RESOURCES

We maintain bank credit facilities to fund our short and long-term capital requirements, including for acquisitions. From time to time, we also sell debt and equity securities to fund acquisitions or take advantage of favorable market conditions.

Our U.S. revolving credit facility matures on June 28, 2021. The U.S. revolving credit facility has a capacity of $1.1 billion and also provides an expansion option, which permits us to request an increase of up to $200 million to the credit facility upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The U.S. revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of ~~$535~~$392 million at ~~December~~March 30, ~~2017.~~2019. The weighted-average interest rate on primarily all of the outstanding credit facility borrowings was ~~2.89%~~4.12% and is principally based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which was ~~1.38%~~1.63% at ~~December~~March 30, ~~2017.~~2019. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets.

The U.S. revolving credit facility contains various covenants. The covenant for minimum interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of EBITDA to interest expense for the most recent four quarters, is 3.0. The covenant for the maximum leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of net debt, including letters of credit, to EBITDA for the most recent four quarters, is 3.5. We are in compliance with all covenants. EBITDA is defined in the loan agreement as (i) the sum of net income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, other non-cash items reducing consolidated net income and non-cash equity-based compensation expenses minus (ii) other non-cash items increasing consolidated net income.

We are generally not required to obtain the consent of lenders of the U.S. revolving credit facility before raising significant additional debt financing; however, certain limitations and conditions may apply that would require consent to be obtained. In recent years, we have demonstrated our ability to secure consents to access debt markets. We have also been successful in accessing equity markets from time to time. We believe that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing as needed.

~~At December 30, 2017, we had $529 million of unused capacity, including $516 million from the U.S.~~The SECT has a revolving credit facility ~~after considering standby letters~~with a borrowing capacity of ~~credit.~~$35 million, maturing on July 26, 2020. Interest was 4.61% as of March 30, 2019 and is based on LIBOR plus a margin of 2.13%. As of March 30, 2019, there was $4 million of outstanding borrowings.

We have $300 million ~~aggregate~~ principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due December 1, 2022 with interest paid semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The senior notes are unsecured obligations, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain subsidiaries and contain normal incurrence-based covenants and limitations such as the ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make other restricted payments and investments, create liens and certain corporate acts such as mergers and consolidations.

We have a trade receivables securitization facility (the "Securitization Program"), which ~~was extended on October 23, 2017 and now~~ matures on October ~~23, 2019.~~30, 2020. The Securitization Program provides up to $130 million of borrowing capacity and lowers our cost to borrow funds as compared to the U.S. revolving credit facility. Under the Securitization Program, we sell certain trade receivables and related rights to an affiliate, which in turn sells an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the trade receivables to a financial institution, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. We had an outstanding balance of $130 million at ~~December~~March 30, ~~2017.~~2019. The Securitization Program has a minimum borrowing requirement, which was $104 million at ~~December~~March 30, ~~2017.~~2019. Interest on the secured borrowings under the Securitization Program was ~~2.39%~~3.32% at ~~December~~March 30, ~~2017~~2019 and is based on 30-day LIBOR plus an applicable margin.

At March 30, 2019, we had $716 million of unused capacity, including $673 million from the U.S. revolving credit facility after considering standby letters of credit. However, our leverage ratio covenant limits our total borrowing capacity to $520 million as of March 30, 2019.

Net debt to capitalization was ~~32%~~35% at ~~December~~March 30, ~~2017~~2019 and ~~33%~~38% at September ~~30, 2017.~~29, 2018. The decrease in net debt to capitalization is primarily due to our net earnings and positive cash flow.

We believe that our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available borrowings under short and long-term arrangements will continue to be sufficient to meet our operating needs.

We declared and paid cash dividends of $0.25 per share on our Class A and Class B common stock in the first and second quarters of 2019.

Table of Contents

The Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program. This program has been amended from time to time to authorize additional repurchases that includes both Class A and Class B common ~~shares,~~stock, and allows us to buy up to an aggregate 13 million common shares. Under this program, we have purchased approximately 9.7 million shares for ~~$650~~$654 million as of ~~December~~March 30, ~~2017.~~2019.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND MARKET TRENDS

We operate within the aerospace and defense and industrial markets. Our aerospace and defense markets are affected by market conditions and program funding levels, while our industrial markets are influenced by general capital investment trends and economic conditions. A common factor throughout our markets is the continuing demand for technologically advanced products.

Aerospace and Defense

Approximately two-thirds of our ~~2017~~2018 sales were generated in aerospace and defense markets. Within aerospace and defense, we serve three end markets: defense, commercial aircraft and space.

The defense market is dependent on military spending for development and production programs. Aircraft production programs are typically long-term in nature, offering predictability as to capacity needs and future revenues. We maintain positions on numerous high priority programs, including the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, FA-18E/F Super Hornet and V-22 Osprey. The large installed base of our products leads to attractive aftermarket sales and service opportunities. The tactical and strategic missile, missile defense and defense controls markets are dependent on many of the same market conditions as military aircraft, including overall military spending and program funding levels. Our security and surveillance product line is dependent on government funding at federal and local levels, as well as private sector demand.

~~Reductions in the U.S. Department of Defense's mandatory and discretionary budgeted spending, which became effective on March 1, 2013, resulting from the~~The 2011 Budget Control Act reduced the Department of 2011, has had ramifications for the domestic aerospace and defense market. As originally passed, the Budget Control Act provided that, in addition to an initial significant reduction in future domestic defenseDefense spending ~~further automatic cuts to defense spending authorization (which is generally referred to as~~(or sequestration) ofby approximately $500 billion through the Federal Government's 2021 fiscal year would be triggered by the failure of Congress to produce a deficit reduction bill. The sequestration spending cuts were intended to be uniform by category for programs, projects and activities within accounts.billion. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 provided stability and modest growth in the Department of Defense spending through 2017. After operating under continuing resolutions, which restrict new program starts, the U.S. Government signed the 2019 defense appropriations budget in September 2018, with moderate growth in defense spending. However, future ~~budgets beyond 2017 are uncertain with respect to the overall~~budgeted levels of defense ~~spending.~~spending beyond 2019 are uncertain and subject to debate. Currently, we expect approximately ~~$720~~$850 million of U.S. defense sales in ~~2018.~~2019.

The commercial aircraft market is dependent on a number of factors, including global demand for air travel, which generally follows underlying economic growth. As such, the commercial aircraft market has historically exhibited cyclical swings which tend to track the overall economy. In recent years, the development of new, more fuel-efficient commercial air transports has helped drive increased demand in the commercial aircraft market, as airlines replace older, less fuel-efficient aircraft with newer models in an effort to reduce operating costs. The aftermarket is driven by usage of the existing aircraft fleet and the age of the installed fleet, and is impacted by fleet re-sizing programs for passenger and cargo aircraft. Changes in aircraft utilization rates affect the need for maintenance and spare parts impacting aftermarket sales. Boeing and Airbus have historically adjusted production in line with air traffic volume. Demand for our commercial aircraft products is in large part dependent on new aircraft production, which is increasing as Boeing and Airbus work to fulfill large backlogs of unfilled orders.

The commercial space market is comprised of large satellite customers, traditionally communications companies. Trends for this market, as well as for commercial launch vehicles, follow demand for increased capacity. This, in turn tends to track with underlying demand for increased consumption of telecommunication services, satellite replacement and global navigation needs. The space market is also partially dependent on the governmental-authorized levels of funding for satellite communications, as well as investment for commercial and exploration activities.

Industrial

Approximately one-third of our ~~2017~~2018 sales were generated in industrial markets. Within industrial, we serve ~~three~~four end markets: energy, industrial automation, ~~energy~~simulation and test and medical.

The industrial automation market we serve is influenced by several factors including capital investment, product innovation, economic growth, cost-reduction efforts and technology upgrades. We experience challenges from the need to react to the demands of our customers, who are in large part sensitive to international and domestic economic conditions. The simulation and test market we serve is largely affected by these same factors and challenges.

Table of Contents

The energy market we serve is affected by changing oil and natural gas prices, global urbanization, the resulting change in supply and demand for global energy and the political climate and corresponding public support for investments in renewable energy generation capacity. Historically, drivers for global growth include investments in power generation infrastructure, including renewable energy, and exploration in search of new oil and gas resources. However, after the significant decline in the price of crude oil ~~has reduced investment~~from 2014 through 2016, investments in exploration activities. This reduced investment has directly affected our energy business. Currently, we expect approximately $34 million of oil exploration-related sales in 2018, down from approximately $100 million in 2014.activities have been reduced.

The medical market we serve is influenced by economic conditions, regulatory environments, hospital and outpatient clinic spending on equipment, population demographics, medical advances, patient demands and the need for precision control components and systems. Advances in medical technology and medical treatments have had the effect of extending average life spans, in turn resulting in greater need for medical services. These same technology and treatment advances also drive increased demand from the general population as a means to improve quality of life. Access to medical insurance, whether through government funded health care plans or private insurance, also affects the demand for medical services.

Foreign Currencies

We are affected by the movement of foreign currencies compared to the U.S. dollar, particularly in Aircraft Controls and Industrial Systems. About ~~one-quarter~~one-fifth of our ~~2017~~2018 sales were denominated in foreign currencies. During the first ~~three~~six months of ~~2018,~~2019, average foreign currency rates generally ~~strengthened~~weakened against the U.S. dollar compared to ~~2017.~~2018. The translation of the results of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars ~~increased~~decreased sales by $8$14 million compared to the same period one year ago.
