Note 2 — New Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue from Contracts with Customers Adopted

 

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.  This ASU requires an employer to report the service cost component of net periodic pension benefit cost in the same line item as other compensation costs for those related employees.  Other components of net pension cost, including interest, expected return on plan assets, and actuarial gains and losses are to be presented outside of operating income.  We adopted this ASU on June 1, 2018, which resulted in $0.3 million and $0.6 million of pension income included in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three- and six-month periods ended November 30, 2018, respectively.  The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three- and six month periods ended November 30, 2017 were not restated as the non-service cost components of pension expense were not material to fiscal 2018.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition.  This ASU affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of non-financial assets.  This ASU will supersedeASC 606 superseded the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance.  This ASU will also supersede certain cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.  In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of the new standard by one year so that it will be effective for us beginning June 1, 2018.

 

We will adopt this ASU as ofadopted ASC 606 on June 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method.  Under this method, we willthat approach, prior periods have not been restated and continue to be required to recognizereported under the cumulativeaccounting standards in effect for those periods.  A discussion of adopting this ASU as of June 1, 2018our revised accounting policy for revenue recognition is included in our first quarter ending August 31, 2018.  We expect to estimate the cumulative effect upon adoption of the new ASU in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 based on expected contracts in process at May 31, 2018.  Our implementation effort continues to progress as we assess the anticipated impact of the new ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

To date,We elected to use the practical expedient allowing for the application of ASC 606 only to contracts that were not completed as of June 1, 2018.  We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 as a decrease of $20.4 million to the opening balance of retained earnings as of June 1, 2018.  The impact of the adoption of ASC 606 on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was as follows:

The adoption of ASC 606 impacted us in three primary areas.  First, we have preliminarily identified threecertain contracts in which revenue is recognized using the percentage of completion method over the expected term of the contract.  Under ASC 606, the contract term used for revenue recognition purposes was shortened to exclude any unexercised customer option years or incorporate customer rights to terminate the contract without significant areas wherepenalty as we do not have any enforceable rights or obligations prior to the new ASU willexercise of the underlying option.  The impact of this change as of June 1, 2018 resulted in the elimination of certain deferred costs and the establishment of accrued liabilities reflecting our estimated obligations under the contracts.  For this change, we recognized a decrease of $22.1 million to the opening balance of retained earnings as of June 1, 2018.

Second, we have contracts under which we perform repair services on customer-owned assets whereby the customer simultaneously receives the benefits of the repair.  These contracts also transitioned to an over time revenue recognition.  First,recognition model as of June 1, 2018 compared to our prior policy of recognizing revenue at the time of shipment.  The impact of this change as of June 1, 2018 resulted in the elimination of certain inventory and accounts receivable amounts and the establishment of a contract asset reflecting the over time revenue recognition treatment.  For this change, we recognized an increase of $1.3 million to the opening balance of retained earnings as of June 1, 2018.

Third, we have certain contracts under which we manufacture products with no alternative use as the customer owns the underlying intellectual property and the Company haswe have an enforceable right to payment from the customer.  As a result, the Company will be required to recordwe now recognize revenue for these contracts over time as opposed to at the time of shipment, which iswas our current policy today.  Second, we also perform repair services on customer-owned assets which will also transitionprior to anJune 1, 2018.  The impact of this change as of June 1, 2018 resulted in the elimination of certain inventory amounts and the establishment of a contract asset reflecting the over time approach comparedrevenue recognition treatment.  For this change, we recognized an increase of $0.4 million to our current policythe opening balance of recognizing revenue at timeretained earnings as of shipment.  Third, we have certain contractsJune 1, 2018.

Other New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases.Leases.  This ASU amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets, including those classified as operating leases under the current accounting guidance.  In addition, this ASU will require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the Company’s leasing activities.  This new standard will be effective for us beginning June 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted.  This ASU requiresand is required to be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, withapproach.   The new standard provides us an option to use certain transition relief.recognize the cumulative effect adjustment on retained earnings as of June 1, 2019 or as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.  We are in the preliminary phases of assessing the effectour assessment of this ASU and continue to gather information on our portfoliolease population and portfolio.  We are also considering the terms and conditions of leases.our other arrangements that could meet the definition of a lease and designing and implementing new processes and controls, including information technology tools.  While this assessment continues, we have not yet selected a transition date nor have we determined the effect of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation.  This ASU requires excess tax benefits or deficiencies for share-based payments to be recorded in the period shares vest as income tax expense or benefit, rather than within equity.  Cash flows related to excess tax benefits are now included in operating activities and are no longer classified as a financing activity. We adopted this ASU on June 1, 2017 and recognized excess tax benefits of $0.8 and $2.4 million as an income tax benefit during the three- and nine-month periods ended February 28, 2018, respectively.  We have also presented the excess tax benefits within operating activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month period ended February 28, 2018.  As permitted, we adopted the statement of cash flow presentation guidance on a prospective basis with no adjustments to the previously reported amounts.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.  This ASU requires restricted cash to be included within beginning and ending total cash amounts reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows as well as increased disclosure requirements.  As permitted, we have early adopted this ASU in fiscal 2018.  The ASU is required to be adopted on a retroactive basis; however, we did not have restricted cash in our prior periods reported.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.Income.  This ASU permits the reclassification of tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”).Act.  This new standard will be effective for us beginning June 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted.  We are currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 32 — Discontinued Operations

 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, we decided to pursue the sale of our Contractor-Owned, Contractor-Operated (“COCO”) business previously included in our Expeditionary Services segment.  Due to this strategic shift, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of our COCO business have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.  Goodwill was allocated to this business based on its relative fair value to the reporting unit.  The fair value of the reporting unit was determined based on a combination of the expected net proceeds upon sale and a discounted cash flow analysis.  As the fair value of the reporting unitCOCO business was below its carrying value, a goodwill impairment charge of $9.8 million, representing the estimated loss on disposal, was recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.

 

Our COCO business completed certain contracts in the second quarter of fiscal 2018.  As the aircraft supporting these contracts were not placed on new contracts combined with the continued decline in operational tempo within the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) and an excess supply of aircraft assets in the market, we determined there was an impairment triggering event and tested the recoverability of our COCO assets.  As a result, we recognized impairment and other charges of $54.2 million in the three-month period ended February 28,second quarter of fiscal 2018. The fair value of the aircraft and related assets was based on available market data for similar assets.

The COCO business is available for immediate sale and we continue to actively market the COCO business at a reasonable price in relation to its fair value.  We expect a sale of the COCO business to be completed before the end of fiscal 2019.

 

No amounts offor general corporate overhead or interest expense were allocated to discontinued operations during the periods presented.  Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relate to our continuing operations.

Note 3 — Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer.

Our unit of accounting for revenue recognition is a performance obligation included in our customer contracts.  A performance obligation reflects the distinct good or service that we must transfer to a customer.  At contract inception, we evaluate if the contract should be accounted for as a single performance obligation or if the contract contains multiple performance obligations.  In some cases, our contract with the customer is considered one performance obligation as it includes factors such as whether the good or service being provided is significantly integrated with other promises in the contract, whether the service provided significantly modifies or customizes another good or service or whether the good or service is highly interdependent or interrelated.  If the contract has more than one performance obligation, the Company determines the standalone price of each distinct good or service underlying each performance obligation and allocates the transaction price based on their relative standalone selling prices.

Note 4 — Revenue Recognition

SalesOur performance obligations are satisfied over time as work progresses or at a point in time based on transfer of control of products and services to our customers.  The majority of our sales from products are recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment.  In connection with certain sales of products, we also provide logistics services, which include inventory management, replenishment, and other related costservices.  The price of sales for product salessuch services is generally included in the price of the products delivered to the customer, and revenues are recognized upon shipmentdelivery of the product, at which point, the customer has obtained control of the product.  We do not account for these services separate from the related product sales as the services are inputs required to fulfill part orders received from customers.

For our performance obligations that are satisfied over time, we measure progress in a manner that depicts the performance of transferring control to the customer. Our standard terms and conditions provide that title passesAs such, we utilize the input method of cost-to-cost to recognize revenue over time as this depicts when control of the customer when the product is shippedpromised goods or services are transferred to the customer.  Sales of certain defense products areRevenue is recognized upon customer acceptance, which includes transfer of title.  Sales from services and the related cost of services are generally recognized when customer-owned material is shipped back to the customer.  We have adopted this accounting policy because at the time the customer-owned material is shipped back to the customer, all services related to that material are complete as our service agreements generally do not require us to provide services at customer sites.  Furthermore, serviced units are typically shipped to the customer immediately upon completion of the related services.  Sales and related cost of sales for certain large airframe maintenance contracts and performance-based logistics programs are recognized by the percentage of completion method, based on the relationship of actual costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs.cost at completion of the performance obligation.  We are required to make certain judgments and estimates, including estimated revenues and costs, as well as inflation and the overall profitability of the arrangement.  Key assumptions involved include future labor costs and efficiencies, overhead costs, and ultimate timing of product delivery.  Differences may occur between the judgments and estimates made by management and actual program results.

Changes in estimates and assumptions related to our arrangements accounted for using the cost-to-cost method are recorded using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting.  These changes are primarily adjustments to the estimated profitability for our long-term, power-by-the-hour programs where we provide component inventory management and repair services.

For the three-month period ended November 30, 2018, we recognized net favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $1.8$3.1 million.  For the three-month period ended November 30, 2017, we recognized favorable and unfavorable adjustments of $1.0 million and $3.2$0.6 million, duringrespectively.  When considering these adjustments on a net basis, we recognized net favorable adjustments of $3.1 million and $0.4 million in the three-month periods ended February 28,November 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively,respectively.

For the six-month period ended November 30, 2018, we recognized favorable and $2.2unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $3.8 million and $7.8$0.5 million, duringrespectively.  For the nine-monthsix-month period ended November 30, 2017, we recognized favorable and unfavorable adjustments of $1.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively.  When considering these adjustments on a net basis, we recognized net favorable adjustments of $3.3 million and $0.4 million in the six-month periods ended February 28,November 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, resulting from changes to the estimated profitability of these contracts.

Lease revenues are recognized as earned.  Income from monthly or quarterly rental payments is recorded in the pertinent period according to the lease agreement.  However, for leases that provide variable rents, we recognize lease income on a straight-line basis.  In addition to a monthly lease rate, some engine leases require an additional rental amount based on the number of hours the engine is used in a particular month.  Lease income associated with these contingent rentals is recorded in the period in which actual usage is reported to us by the lessee, which is normally the month following the actual usage.

Certain supply chain management programs we provide to our customers contain multiple elements or deliverables, such as program and warehouse management, parts distribution, and maintenance and repair services.  We recognize revenue for each element or deliverable that can be identified as a separate unit of accounting at the time of delivery based upon the relative fair value of the products and services.

In June 2016, the U.S. Air Force awarded the new contract for the KC-10 Extender Contractor Logistics Support Program (“KC-10 Program”) to a competitor.  Our principal services under the prior contract for the KC-10 Program were completed in January 2017; however, we have provided limited services since that date and will continue to do so for an unspecified period of time.  Sales for the KC-10 Program during the three-month periods ended February 28, 2018 and 2017 were $3.6 million and $24.3 million, respectively, and sales during the nine-month periods ended February 28, 2018 and 2017 were $24.6 million and $92.3 million, respectively.  Gross profit for the KC-10 Program during the three-month periods ended February 28, 2018 and 2017 were $0.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively, and gross profit during the nine-month periods ended February 28, 2018 and 2017 were $2.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively.

 

IncludedUnder most of our U.S. government contracts, if the contract is terminated for convenience, we are entitled to payment for items delivered and fair compensation for work performed, the costs of settling and paying other claims, and a reasonable profit on the costs incurred or committed.

We have elected to use certain practical expedients permitted under ASC 606.  Shipping and handling fees and costs incurred associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in accounts receivable ascost of February 28, 2018sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, and May 31, 2017, were $5.4 millionare not considered a performance obligation to our customers.  Our reported sales on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations are net of any sales or related non-income taxes.  We also utilize the “as invoiced” practical expedient in certain cases where performance obligations are satisfied over time and $14.5 million, respectively, of unbilled accounts receivable relatedthe invoiced amount corresponds directly with the value we are providing to the KC-10 Program.  These unbilled accounts receivable related to costs we have incurred on parts that were requested and accepted by our customer to support the KC-10 Program.  These costs have not been billed by us because the customer has not yet issued the final paperwork necessary to allow for billing.

Note 5 — Income TaxesContract Assets and Liabilities

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Reform Act was enacted which significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax system.  The Tax Reform Act, among other things, reduced the current corporate federal income tax rate to 21% from 35%, changed bonus depreciation regulationstiming of revenue recognition, customer billings, and limited deductions for executive compensation.  The income tax rate reduction in the Tax Reform Act is effective January 1, 2018 whichcash collections results in a blended federal statutory tax rate forcontract asset or contract liability at the Companyend of 29.2%each reporting period.  Contract assets consist of unbilled receivables or costs incurred where revenue recognized over time using the cost-to-cost model exceeds the amounts billed to customers.  Contract liabilities include advance payments and billings in fiscal 2018.  Ourexcess of revenue recognized. Certain customers make advance payments prior to the satisfaction of our performance obligations on the contract.  These amounts are recorded as contract liabilities until such performance obligations are satisfied, either over time as costs are incurred or at a point in time when deliveries are made.  Contract assets and contract liabilities are determined on a contract-by-contract basis.

Contract assets — non-current is reported within Other non-current assets, Contract liabilities — current is reported within Accrued Liabilities, and Contract liabilities — non-current is reported within Other liabilities and deferred income tax expense foron our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.  Changes in contract assets and contract liabilities primarily result from the timing difference between our performance of services and payments from customers.  For the three- and six-month periods ended November 30, 2018, we recognized revenue of $76.4 million and $156.5 million that was previously included in the beginning balance of contract liabilities.

In the three-month period ended February 28,November 30, 2018, includedwe recognized a benefitprovision for doubtful accounts of $1.8$12.4 million related to the impactbankruptcy of a European airline customer.  The provision included impairment of non-current contract assets of $7.6 million, allowance for doubtful accounts of $3.3 million, and other liabilities of $1.5 million.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of November 30, 2018, we had approximately $1.3 billion of remaining performance obligations, also referred to as firm backlog, which excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under our indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts.  We expect that approximately 40% of this backlog will be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months with the majority of the remainder recognized over the next three years.  The amount of remaining performance obligations that is expected to be recognized as revenue beyond 12 months primarily relates to our long-term, power-by-the-hour programs where we provide component inventory management and repair services.

Note 97 — Sale of Receivables

 

On February 23, 2018, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with Citibank N.A. (“Purchaser”) for the sale, from time to time, of certain accounts receivable due from certain customers (the “Purchase Agreement”).  Under the Purchase Agreement, the maximum amount of receivables sold is limited to $150 million.  The term of the Purchase Agreement runs through February 22, 2019,2019; however, the Purchase Agreement may also be terminated earlier under certain circumstances.  The term of the Purchase Agreement shall be automatically extended for annual terms unless either party provides advance notice that they do not intend to extend the term.

 

We have no retained interests in the sold receivables, other than limited recourse obligations in certain circumstances, and only perform collection and administrative functions for the Purchaser.  We account for these receivable transfers as sales under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, and de-recognize the sold receivables from our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

During the three-monthsix-month period ended February 28,November 30, 2018, we sold $63.0$351.0 million of receivables under the Purchase Agreement and remitted $327.5 million to the Purchaser on their behalf.  During fiscal 2018, we sold $239.6 million of receivables under the Purchase Agreement and remitted $167.9 million to the Purchaser on their behalf.  As of November 30, 2018 and May 31, 2018, we had collected $10.7cash of $15.0 million on behalf of the Purchaser.  The cash collected hasand $10.5 million, respectively, which was not yet been remitted to the Purchaser and has beenwas classified as Restricted cash on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.  WeDuring the three- and six-month periods ended November 30, 2018, we incurred purchase discountdiscounts on the sale of our receivables of $0.6 million and other fees of $0.5$1.0 million, respectively, which arewere recognized as an expense in Other expensesincome, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On October 18, 2017, we entered into a Credit Agreement with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as lender (the “Credit Agreement”).  The Credit Agreement provided a Canadian $31 million term loan with the proceeds used to fund the acquisition of two maintenance, repair, and overhaul (“MRO”) facilities in Canada from Premier Aviation.  The term loan is due in full at the expiration of the Credit Agreement on November 1, 2021 unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.  Interest is payable monthly on the term loan at the offered fluctuating Canadian Dollar Offer Rate plus 125 to 225 basis points based on certain financial measurements if a Bankers’ Acceptances loan, or at the offered fluctuationfluctuating Prime Rate plus 25 to 125 basis points based on certain financial measurements, if a Prime Rate loan.

 

The industrial revenue bond that matures on August 1, 2018 has been classified as a long-term liability due to our intent and ability to refinance this bond on a long-term basis using our Revolving Credit Facility.

Our financing arrangements also require us to comply with leverage and interest coverage ratios, maintain a minimum net working capital level, and comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants, including those relating to financial reporting and notification, payment of indebtedness, cash dividends, taxes and other obligations, compliance with applicable laws, and limitations on additional liens, indebtedness, acquisitions, investments and disposition of assets.  The Revolving Credit Facility and Credit Agreement also requirerequires our significant domestic subsidiaries, and any subsidiaries that guarantee our other indebtedness, to provide a guarantee of payment.payment under the Revolving Credit Facility.  At February 28,November 30, 2018, we were in compliance with the financial and other covenants in our financing agreements.

In accordance with ASC 260-10-45, Share-Based Payment Arrangements and Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method, our unvested restricted stock awards are deemed participating securities since these shares are entitled to participate in dividends declared on common shares.  During periods of net income, the calculation of earnings per share for common stock excludes income attributable to unvested restricted stock awards from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of those shares from the denominator.  During periods of net loss, no effect is given to the participating securities because they do not share in the losses of the Company.

Note 1613 — Legal Proceedings

 

We are not a party to any material pending legal proceeding (including any governmental or environmental proceeding) other than routine litigation incidental to our business except for the following:

 

DynCorp International LLC v. AAR Airlift Group, Inc.Department of Justice Investigation

 

On September 5, 2015, DynCorp International LLCThe U.S. Department of Justice (“DynCorp”DoJ”) filed a complaint in, acting through the United States District CourtU.S. Attorney’s Office for the MiddleSouthern District of Florida, Orlando Division (the “District Court”), accusingIllinois, is conducting an investigation of AAR Airlift Group, Inc. (“AAR Airlift”), a wholly-owned subsidiary under the federal civil False Claims Act (“FCA”).  The investigation relates to Airlift’s performance of AAR CORP., of misappropriation of DynCorp information, including trade secrets, and other related allegations.  DynCorp’s complaint, which sought damages in an unspecified amount and a preliminary injunction, alleged that AAR Airlift engaged in this conduct in connection with the submission of proposals in response to the solicitation issuedseveral contracts awarded by the U.S. DepartmentTransportation Command concerning the operations and maintenance of State (“DOS”) Bureau of International Narcoticsrotary-wing and Law Enforcement Affairs, Office of Aviation (“INL/A”)fixed-wing aircraft in supportAfghanistan and Africa, as well as several U.S. Navy contracts.  In June 2018, the DoJ informed Airlift that part of the Worldwide Aviation Support Services program (“INL/A WASS”). The INL/A WASS contractinvestigation was subsequently awarded to AARprecipitated by a lawsuit filed under the qui tam provisions of the FCA by a former employee of Airlift.  That lawsuit remains under seal.   Airlift on September 1, 2016.

The District Court denied DynCorp’s preliminary injunction motion, and on October 19, 2015, DynCorp filed an amended complaintis cooperating with the District Court.  On January 14, 2016, the District Court granted AAR Airlift’s motion to dismiss DynCorp’s amended complaint.  On February 2, 2016, DynCorp appealed the District Court’s order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit (the “Eleventh Circuit”).

On November 21, 2016, the Eleventh Circuit reversed in part the District Court’s dismissal of the amended complaint and remanded the case to the District Court for further proceedings.  The District Court set a discovery schedule that was to end on September 1, 2017 and a trial date of April 2, 2018.

On June 16, 2017, the District Court granted AAR Airlift’s motion to stay the legal proceeding against AAR Airlift.  The stay was to remain in effect until the earlier of (a) October 31, 2017 or (b) the entry of a decision of the United States Court of Federal Claims (“COFC”), on DynCorp’s protest of the contract award to AAR Airlift. The District Court’s stay immediately halted all discovery and other activity in the DynCorp lawsuit.

On October 31, 2017, the COFC denied DynCorp’s protest of the DOS award to AAR Airlift.  Following the COFC decision, the Department of State lifted the voluntary stay that had been in place on the INL/A WASS contract, and since that time it has issued several task orders to AAR Airlift in order to transition the INL/A WASS program to AAR Airlift.

On November 29, 2017, the District Court granted AAR Airlift’s motion to stay discovery in this lawsuit pending the District Court’s resolution of AAR Airlift’s motion for summary judgment.  The District Court’s decision effectively extended the stay that was previously in effect.

On December 1, 2017, AAR Airlift filed its motion for summary judgment with the District Court.  This motion maintains that DynCorp’s claims fail as a matter of law because DynCorp  suffered no damages attributable to any alleged conduct of AAR Airlift; rather, as determined by the COFC, DynCorp was deemed ineligible for the INL/A WASS contract on account of its own actions. 

On January 31, 2018, AAR Airlift and DynCorp filed a joint notice of settlement, advising the District Court that they had reached an agreement in principle to resolve DynCorp’s lawsuit and that they expected to file a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice within 14 days (meaning that DynCorp may not file its claims again).

On February 1, 2018, the District Court entered an order dismissing the DynCorp lawsuit without prejudice subject to the right of any party within 60 days to move the court for the purpose of entering a stipulated form of a final order or judgment or, on good cause shown, to reopen the case for further proceedings.

On March 16, 2018, however, DynCorp moved to reopen the case for further proceedings, stating that the parties did not have a meeting of the minds on a potential settlement. On March 19, 2018, AAR filed a response to DynCorp’s motion, clarifying that the parties did reach an agreement to settle the case and requesting that the court reopen the case for the limited purpose of allowing AAR Airlift to file a motion to enforce the settlement agreement reached between the parties and to dismiss the DynCorp lawsuit with prejudice.

General Overview

 

We report our activities in two businessoperating segments:  Aviation Services comprised of supply chain and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (“MRO”) activities and Expeditionary Services comprised of manufacturing activities.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we re-aligned the composition of our operating segments to leverage the full breadth of our operational expertise in Aviation Services.  Our government-owned, contractor-operated (“GOCO”) airlift servicesbusiness, which includes the INL/A WASS program and mobility operations.was previously included in our Expeditionary Services segment, is now reported within our Aviation Services segment for all periods presented.

 

The Aviation Services segment consists of aftermarket support and services businessesofferings that provide spare parts and maintenance support for aircraft operated by our commercial and government/defense customers.  Sales in the Aviation Services segment are derived from the sale and lease of a wide variety of new, overhauled and repaired engine and airframe parts and components to the commercial aviation and government and defense markets.  We provide customized inventory supply chain management, performance based logistics programs, customer fleet management and operations, and aircraft component repair management services, and aircraft modifications.services.  The segment also includes repair, maintenance and overhaul of aircraft, landing gear and components.  Cost of sales consists principally of the cost of product, direct labor, and overhead.

 

The Expeditionary Services segment consists of businesses that provide products and services supporting the movement of equipment and personnel by the U.S. and foreign governments and other non-governmental organizations.  Sales in the Expeditionary Services segment areprimarily manufacturing operations with sales derived from fleet management and operations of customer-owned aircraft and the design and manufacture of pallets, shelters, and containers used to support the U.S. military’s requirements for a mobile and agile force.  We alsoforce including engineering, design, and manufacturesystem integration services for specialized command and control systems.  This segment also designs and manufactures advanced composite materials for commercial, business and military aircraft.  Cost of sales consists principally of the cost of material to manufacture products, direct labor and overhead.

 

The accounting policies for the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2017.  2018 except for our revised accounting policy for revenue recognition.  We adopted ASC 606 on June 1, 2018 and our revised accounting policy is further described in Note 3.

Our chief operating decision making officer (Chief Executive Officer) evaluates performance based on the reportableoperating segments and utilizes gross profit as a primary profitability measure.  Gross profit is calculated by subtracting cost of sales from sales.  The assets and certain expenses related to corporate activities are not allocated to the segments.  Our reportable segments are aligned principally around differences in products and services.

 

InBeginning in fiscal 2017,2015, we increasedimplemented a comprehensive strategic plan to narrow our strategy to focus on our best-in-class aviation and expeditionary services through our two business segments: Aviation Services segment revenues byand Expeditionary Services.  We sold our Telair Cargo Group for cash of $714 million, resulting in pre-tax gains of $198.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 (and $27.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from the receipt of contingent consideration).  We used the proceeds from the sale in fiscal 2015 to reduce our total debt and return capital to stockholders through common stock repurchases and dividends.

Through execution of our strategic plan over the last three years, we have succeeded in expanding customer relationships and securing additionalnew flight hour component inventory management and repair programs from ourwith multiple international commercial airline customers and investinggovernment customers.  We also invested in our capacity and business development resources.  During fiscal 2017, our investment in business development resulted in the award of new contracts from commercial operators along with investment of over $80 million in rotable assets to support these commercial aviation programs.

We startedprograms and continued our focus on expanding our business development resources.  These investments in our supply chain activities have allowed us to recognize revenueincrease market share, expand our customer base, and income inenlarge our geographic footprint.

In fiscal 2017 on most of these contract awards and are continuing2018, we began the ramp-up in fiscal 2018.  We believe there continues to be a favorable trend by both commercial and government and defense customers for comprehensivethe 15-year, U.S. Air Force Landing Gear Performance-Based Logistics One program.  Under this program, we are providing total supply chain management including purchasing, distribution and maintenance programs, as these customers continueinventory control to seek ways to reduce their operating cost structure.support all landing gear components for the U.S. Air Force’s fleet of C-130, KC-135 and E-3 aircraft.

 

In November 2017,fiscal 2018, we also began transitionproviding services onto the U.S. Department of State (“DoS”) under the INL/A Worldwide Aviation Support Services (“INL/A WASS”) contract from the U.S. Department of State (“DOS”).contract.  This contract leverages our capabilities in aviation services, including flight operations, supply chain logistics, and other services.  We are the prime contractor on this ten-year10-year performance-based contract to globally operate and maintain the DOSDoS fleet of fixed and rotary-wing aircraft.  We expect to be fully operational bysuccessfully completed the endtransition and phase-in of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 at which point the INL/A WASS program will be a contributor to our earnings.in June 2018.  We have full operational capability at all contract sites, which include Afghanistan, Iraq, Panama, Peru, and Patrick Air Force Base as well as support locations in Brevard County, Florida.

 

We have been repositioningFiscal 2019

For fiscal 2019, we continue to see strength in our ExpeditionaryAviation Services segment resourcesgiven its leadership positions in value-added services to focus on a GOCO model rather than a Contractor-Owned, Contractor-Operated (“COCO”) model as we transitionboth commercial and government and defense customers.  Long-term aftermarket growth trends are favorable and our comprehensive suite of integrated services will continue to a capital light operating structure in this segment.  During the third quarterdrive growth across our diverse base of fiscal 2018, we decided to pursue the sale of our COCO business.  Due to this strategic shift, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of our COCO business have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Fiscal Year 2019 Outlookcustomers.

 

We remain in a strong financial position to further execute on our strategy as a best in class aviation servicesfiscal 2019.  Both our commercial and expeditionary services company.government businesses are executing on our many contract wins and are delivering growth in fiscal 2019.  Our cash on hand plus unused capacities on our Revolving Credit Facility and our new accounts receivable financing program was $458$380 million at February 28,November 30, 2018.  We expect to invest opportunistically in expanding our comprehensive suite of services to the global commercial aviation and government and defense markets.  We continue to have the flexibility in our balance sheet to invest in our growth.  As we generate positive cash flow, we will continue our strategy of returning capital to our shareholders without hampering our future operating flexibility and our growth plans.

For fiscal 2019, we expect the Company’s consolidated sales in the range of $2.1 to $2.2 billion.  This sales range includes $200 to $225 million for our INL/A WASS contract.  Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for fiscal 2019 is expected to be in the range of $2.50 to $2.80.

Aviation Services Segment

 

Sales in the Aviation Services segment increased $43.6$71.2 million or 11.4%18.2% over the prior year period due to a $48.7$49.1 million or 16.7%55.6% increase in sales to commercialgovernment and defense customers.  The increase in sales to commercialgovernment and defense customers was primarily attributable to higher volumesthe INL/A WASS program, which achieved full operational capability in aviation supply chain activities.  We also acquired two MRO facilities in Canada in conjunction with the Premier Aviation acquisition in September 2017 which contributed $11.7 million in sales to commercial customers.June 2018.

During the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2018,2019, sales in this segment to government and defensecommercial customers decreased $5.1increased $22.1 million or 5.6% from7.3% over the prior year period.  The decreaseincrease was primarily due to the wind-down ofincreased demand in our KC-10 Program partially offset by increased volume in parts supply chain activities.  Our principal services under the KC-10 Program were completed in January 2017 with the wind-down expected to be complete in fiscal 2018.  Sales for the KC-10 Program during the three-month periods ended February 28, 2018 and 2017 were $3.6 million and $24.3 million, respectively.

 

Changes in estimates and assumptions related to our programsarrangements accounted for using the percentage-of-completioncost-to-cost method are recorded using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting.  InFor the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2018,2019, we recognized favorable and unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $8.3$3.1 million compared to favorable and unfavorable adjustments of $1.0 million and $6.5$0.6 million, respectively, compared to only favorable adjustments of $3.2 million in the prior year period.  When considering these adjustments on a net basis, we recognized favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $1.8$3.1 million and $3.2$0.4 million for the currentsecond quarter of fiscal 2019 and prior year periods,2018, respectively.  These adjustments primarily relate to our long-term, power-by-the-hour programs where we provide component inventory management and repair services.

 

Cost of sales in Aviation Services increased $35.1$62.3 million or 11.0%19.1% over the prior year period, which was largely in line with the sales increase discussed above.  Gross profit in the Aviation Services segment increased $8.5$8.9 million or 13.4%13.5% over the prior year period.  Gross profit on sales to commercialgovernment and defense customers increased $5.7$11.8 million or 12.1%71.1% over the prior year primarily driven by the higher volumes in aviation supply chain activities.start of the INL/A WASS program.  Gross profit margin on sales to commercialgovernment and defense customers decreasedincreased to 20.7% from 16.1% to 15.5%18.8% primarily as a result of the mix of products and services sold.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts

In the three-month period ended November 30, 2018, we recognized a provision for doubtful accounts of $12.4 million related to the bankruptcy of a European airline customer.  The provision included impairment of non-current contract assets of $7.6 million, allowance for doubtful accounts of $3.3 million, and services sold.other liabilities of $1.5 million.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $10.3$0.3 million over the prior year period.  As a percent of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 10.0% from 11.6% in the prior year period primarily duereflecting improved leverage of our existing cost structure to increased personnel related costs.  Duringsupport the three months ended February 28, 2018, we incurred $1.1 million of severance costs in connection with a voluntary early retirement program.sales growth.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense increased $0.8$0.6 million in fiscal 2018 fromover the prior year period primarily as a result of higher borrowings and higher interest rates on our Revolving Credit Facility.  We also entered into a Credit Agreement with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as lender (the “Credit Agreement”) on October 18, 2017.  The Credit Agreement provided a Canadian $31 million term loan with the proceeds used to fund the acquisition of two MRO facilities in Canada from Premier Aviation.

 

Income Taxes

 

On December 22, 2017,Our effective income tax rate for continuing operations was 21.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to 34.0% in the prior year period primarily due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”) was enacted, which significantly reduced the corporate federal income tax rate to 21% from 35%.  The income tax rate reduction in the Tax Reform Act results in a blended federal statutory tax rate for the Company of 29.2% in fiscal 2018.  Our income tax expense for the three-month period ended February 28, 2018 included a benefit of $1.8 million related to the impact of our revised, lower estimated fiscal 2018 tax rate applied to our pre-tax income for the six-month period ended November 30, 2017 which was previously expected to be taxed at 35%.

We also re-measured our deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the tax rate at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is either at a federal rate of 29.2% for reversals in fiscal 2018 or 21% for reversals in fiscal 2019 and subsequent years.  We recognized an income tax benefit of $13.0 million in the three-month period ended February 28, 2018 for the impact of the re-measurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities at these new rates.

Effective June 1, 2017, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09 which requires excess tax benefits or deficiencies for restricted shares and stock options be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the period shares vest or options are exercised rather than within equity.  We recognized $0.8 million of excess tax benefits as an income tax benefit during the three-month period ended February 28, 2018.

Discontinued Operations

During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, we decided to pursue the sale of our COCO business previously included in our Expeditionary Services segment.  Due to this strategic shift, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of our COCO business have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Loss from discontinued operations was $15.8 million in the three-month period ended February 28, 2018 compared to $0.7 million in the prior year period.  The increase of $15.1 million was primarily due to goodwill and other asset impairment pre-tax charges of $11.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and the completion of certain long-term customer contracts in the second quarter of fiscal 2018.

The effective tax rate was impacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform ActAct”), which significantly reduced the corporate federal income tax rate to 21% from 35% which resulted.  Higher excess tax benefits from the vesting of restricted shares and stock options exercises in a blended federal statutoryfiscal 2019 compared to the prior year period also contributed to the lower effective tax rate for the Company of 29.2% in fiscal 2018.2019.  We also re-measured our deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the tax rate at which they are expected to reverse in the future and recognized an income tax benefit of $13.0 million in the nine-month period ended February 28, 2018 reflecting the impact of the re-measurement.

We also recognized $2.4$2.7 million of excess tax benefits as an increasea reduction to our income tax benefitexpense during the nine-month period ended February 28, 2018 related to the adoption of ASU 2016-09.

Discontinued Operations

Loss from discontinued operations was $52.0 million in the nine-month period ended February 28, 2018fiscal 2019 compared to $0.4$1.6 million in the prior year period.  The increase of $51.6 million was primarily attributable to pre-tax asset impairment charges of $65.2 million and the completion of certain long-term customer contracts in the second quarter of fiscal 2018.

 

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Position

At February 28, 2018, our liquidity and capital resources included cash of $23.9 million and working capital of $607.0 million.

We maintain a Revolving Credit Facility with various financial institutions, as lenders, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders which provides the Company an aggregate revolving credit commitment amount of $500 million and matures November 1, 2021.  The Company, under certain circumstances, has the ability to request an increase to the revolving credit commitment by an aggregate amount of up to $250 million, not to exceed $750 million in total.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the offered Eurodollar Rate plus 100 to 200 basis points based on certain financial measurements if a Eurodollar Rate loan, or at the offered fluctuating Base Rate plus 0 to 100 basis points based on certain financial measurements if a Base Rate loan.

Borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at February 28, 2018 were $147.0 million and there were approximately $16.6 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduced the availability of this facility to $336.4 million. There are no other terms or covenants limiting the availability of this facility. We also had $10.2 million available under foreign lines of credit at February 28, 2018.

On October 18, 2017, we entered into a Credit Agreement with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as lender.  The Credit Agreement provided a Canadian $31 million term loan with the proceeds used to fund the acquisition of two maintenance, repair, and overhaul facilities in Canada from Premier Aviation.  The term loan is due in full at the expiration of the Credit Agreement on November 1, 2021 unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.  Interest is payable monthly on the term loan at the offered fluctuating Canadian Dollar Offer Rate plus 125 to 225 basis points based on certain financial measurements if a Bankers’ Acceptances loan, or at the offered fluctuation Prime Rate plus 25 to 125 basis points based on certain financial measurements, if a Prime Rate loan.

On February 23, 2018, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with Citibank N.A. (“Purchaser”) for the sale, from time to time, of certain accounts receivable due from certain customers (the “Purchase Agreement”).  Under the Purchase Agreement, the maximum amount of receivables sold is limited to $150 million.  The term of the Purchase Agreement runs through February 22, 2019, however, the Purchase Agreement may also be terminated earlier under certain circumstances.  The term of the Purchase Agreement shall be automatically extended for annual terms unless either party provides advance notice that they do not intend to extend the term.  During the three-month period ended February 28, 2018, we sold $63.0 million of receivables under the Purchase Agreement and collected $10.7 million on behalf of the Purchaser.

 

Our operating activities are funded and commitments met through the generation of cash from operations.  In addition to operations, including sales ofour current capital resources include an unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and an accounts receivable in addition to borrowings from our Revolving Credit Facility.financing program.  Periodically, we may also raise capital through common stock and debt financings in the public or private markets.  We continually evaluate various financing arrangements, including the issuance of common stock or debt, which would allow us to improve our liquidity position and finance future growth on commercially reasonable terms. Our continuing ability to borrow from our lenders and issue debt and equity securities to the public and private markets in the future may be negatively affected by a number of factors, including the overall health of the credit markets, general economic conditions, airline industry conditions, geo-political events, and our operating performance.  Our ability to generate cash from operations is influenced primarily by our operating performance and changes in working capital.

 

At November 30, 2018, our liquidity and capital resources included cash of $25.7 million and working capital of $696.5 million.

We intend to retire current maturities due in the next twelve months through borrowings under ourmaintain a Revolving Credit Facility.Facility with various financial institutions, as lenders, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders, which provides the Company an aggregate revolving credit commitment amount of $500 million and matures November 1, 2021.  The Company, under certain circumstances, has the ability to request an increase to the revolving credit commitment by an aggregate amount of up to $250 million, not to exceed $750 million in total.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the offered Eurodollar Rate plus 100 to 200 basis points based on certain financial measurements if a Eurodollar Rate loan, or at the offered fluctuating Base Rate plus 0 to 100 basis points based on certain financial measurements if a Base Rate loan.

Borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at November 30, 2018 were $197.0 million and there were approximately $15.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduced the availability of this facility to $287.8 million. There are no other terms or covenants limiting the availability of this facility. We also had $9.6 million available under foreign lines of credit at November 30, 2018.

 

At February 28,November 30, 2018, we complied with all financial and other covenants under each of our financing arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates

 

We make a number of significant estimates, assumptions and judgments in the preparation of our financial statements.  See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our annual report on2018 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017 for a discussion of our critical accounting policies.  There have been no significant changes to the application of our critical accounting policies during the first quarter of fiscal 2018.2019 other than the adoption of ASC 606 on June 1, 2018, which supersedes the revenue recognition guidance in ASC 605.  Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized as goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  Our new accounting policies for revenue recognition are included in Notes 1 and 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report contains certain forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements are based on beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions and estimates based on information available to us as of the dates such assumptions and estimates are made, and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated, depending on a variety of factors, including those factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A in our annual reportAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017.2018.  Should one or more of those risks or uncertainties materialize adversely, or should underlying assumptions or estimates prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described.  Those events and uncertainties are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many are beyond our control.  We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Our exposure to market risk includes fluctuating interest rates under our credit agreements, changes in foreign exchange rates, and credit losses on accounts receivable.  See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our annual reportAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 20172018 for a discussion of accounts receivable exposure.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1 — Legal Proceedings

There have been several recent developments in the lawsuit entitled DynCorp International LLC v. AAR Airlift Group, Inc. and the bid protest proceeding before the Court of Federal Claims since the filing of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017.  AAR Airlift is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AAR CORP.

DynCorp International LLC v. AAR Airlift Group, Inc.

On November 29, 2017, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Orlando Division (the “District Court”) granted AAR Airlift’s motion to stay discovery in this lawsuit pending the District Court’s resolution of AAR Airlift’s motion for summary judgment.

The District Court’s decision effectively extended the stay that was previously in effect until the earlier of October 31, 2017 or the date of entry of a decision by the United States Court of Federal Claims (“COFC”) on DynCorp’s protest of the contract award made by the United States Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement, Office of Aviation (“INL/A”) to AAR Airlift.

On December 1, 2017, AAR Airlift filed its motion for summary judgment with the District Court.  This motion maintains that DynCorp’s claims fail as a matter of law because DynCorp  suffered no damages attributable to any alleged conduct of AAR Airlift; rather, as determined by the COFC, DynCorp was deemed ineligible for the INL/A WASS contract on account of its own actions.

On January 31, 2018, AAR Airlift and DynCorp filed a joint notice of settlement, advising the District Court that they had reached an agreement in principle to resolve DynCorp’s lawsuit and that they expected to file a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice within 14 days (meaning that DynCorp may not file its claims again).

On February 1, 2018, the District Court entered an order dismissing the DynCorp lawsuit without prejudice subject to the right of any party within 60 days to move the court for the purpose of entering a stipulated form of a final order or judgment or, on good cause shown, to reopen the case for further proceedings.

On March 16, 2018, however, DynCorp moved to reopen the case for further proceedings, stating that the parties did not have a meeting of the minds on a potential settlement. On March 19, 2018, AAR filed a response to DynCorp’s motion, clarifying that the parties did reach an agreement to settle the case and requesting that the court reopen the case for the limited purpose of allowing AAR Airlift to file a motion to enforce the settlement agreement reached between the parties and to dismiss the DynCorp lawsuit with prejudice.

Court of Federal Claims Proceeding

On October 31, 2017, the COFC denied DynCorp’s protest of the United States Department of State’s award of the Worldwide Aviation Support Services (“INL/A WASS”) contract to AAR Airlift.  Following the COFC decision, the Department of State lifted the voluntary stay that had been in place on the INL/A WASS contract, and since that time it has issued several task orders to AAR Airlift in order to transition the INL/A WASS program to AAR Airlift.

On November 14, 2017, DynCorp filed notice of appeal of the COFC decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Court of Appeals”).

On November 20, 2017, DynCorp also filed an emergency motion for interim relief pending appeal with the COFC.  On December 13, 2017, the COFC issued an order denying DynCorp’s motion.

On December 15, 2017, DynCorp filed a motion for injunction pending appeal with the Court of Appeals.  On January 17, 2018, the Court of Appeals denied DynCorp’s motion for injunction.  The case on the merits is in the briefing stage at the Court of Appeals, with no scheduled date for a decision.
