NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’sour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2020.
Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this report may not add up precisely to totals we provide, and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

Certain amounts in the prior periods’ condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted
Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit CostSimplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
In March 2017,December 2019, the Financial Accounting StandardStandards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance to improvesimplify the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost.accounting for income taxes. The amended guidance requires the disaggregation of the service cost component from the other components of net periodic benefit costs and present it with other current compensation costs for related employees in the income statement, and present the other components elsewhere in the income statement and outside of income from operations if that subtotal is presented. This amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the amended guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated statements of operations and related disclosures.

Restricted Cash
In November 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance to address diversity in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The amended guidance requires restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to be classified in the statements of cash flows as cash and cash equivalents. This amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, using a retrospective transition method. The Company does not expect the adoption of the amended guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated statements of cash flows.
Income Taxes on Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets
In October 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance related to the recognition of income taxes resulting from intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. The guidance requires companies to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of inventory will continue to be deferred until the inventory has been sold to a third party. This amended guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, using a modified retrospective approach, with the cumulative effect recognized through retained earnings at the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the amended guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Cash Flow Simplification
In August 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance that clarifies how companies present and classify certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017,2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, entities must apply the guidanceCertain amendments are to be applied prospectively, while other amendments are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. We have adopted this standard effective January 1, 2021. The Companyadoption of this new standard did not impact our consolidated financial statements.
Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans
In August 2018, the FASB issued amended guidance to add, remove, and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The amended guidance removes the requirements to disclose: amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year; the amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the entity; and the effects of a one-percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates. The amended guidance requires disclosure of an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. This guidance is currently evaluating the impact thateffective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Effective December 31, 2020, we adopted the amended guidance willand applied the disclosure requirements on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. This amended guidance did not have a material effect on its consolidated statements of cash flows.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
In June 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance that changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade receivables, contract assets and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will beare required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss”current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model that will replace today’s “incurred loss” model and generally will resultimmediately recognize an estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the life of the financial instruments that are in the earlier recognitionscope of allowances for losses.this update, including trade receivables. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to current practice, except that the losses will be recognized as an allowance. This amended guidanceThe CECL model is effectivebased on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability.
On January 1, 2020, we adopted the new CECL standard and developed an expected impairment model based on our historical loss experience. We believe that our previous methodology to calculate credit losses is generally consistent with the new expected credit loss model and did not result in a material adjustment upon adoption. The allowance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earningsdoubtful accounts was $9.3 million and $10.9 million as of the beginning of the first effective reporting period. The Company does not expect that the amended guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statementsMarch 31, 2021 and related disclosures.December 31, 2020, respectively.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on accounting for leases.  The amended guidance requires the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases by lessees with the exception of short-term leases and amends disclosure requirements associated with leasing arrangements.  The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 using a modified retrospective transition approach.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the amended guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This new standard will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate all current industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB agreed to a one-year deferral of the effective date; the new standard is now effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption of the new revenue standard is permitted; however, entities reporting under U.S. GAAP were not permitted to adopt the standard earlier than the original effective date, which was for years beginning after December 15, 2016. The new standard can be applied either retrospectively to each prior period presented (full retrospective method) or retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of initial application (modified retrospective method).
The Company developed a project plan and established a cross-functional implementation team consisting of representatives from across all of its business segments. The project plan includes analyzing the impact of the standard on its contract portfolio by reviewing its current accounting policies and practices to identify potential differences that would result from applying the requirements of the new standard to its revenue contracts. The Company has made significant progress on its contract reviews and continues to evaluate the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements, and related disclosures. While the Company anticipates potentially increased over time revenue recognition for certain revenue contracts, the Company does not believe the standard will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. The Company will adopt the standard as of January 1, 2018, under the modified retrospective method.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted
Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes
In November 2015, the FASB issued amended guidance to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. The amendments require deferred tax liabilities and assets to be classified as noncurrent. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted this guidance on a prospective basis in the first quarter of 2017. Prior periods in its consolidated financial statements were not retrospectively adjusted.
Inventory
In July 2015, the FASB issued amended guidance, which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. The guidance defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The new guidance must be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim

periods within those years. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Share-Based Payments
In March 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance related to employee share-based payment accounting. The amended guidance simplifies several aspects related to the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, statutory tax withholding requirements, forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. This amended guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2016. The primary impact of adoption was the recognition of excess tax benefits in the provision for income taxes, rather than paid-in capital, of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Cash flows related to excess tax benefits for share-based payments are now included in the consolidated statements of cash flows as net operating activities rather than net financing activities. The changes have been applied prospectively and prior periods have not been adjusted. The presentation requirements for cash flows related to employee taxes paid for withheld shares had no impact to any of the periods presented on the consolidated statement of cash flows since such cash flows have historically been presented as a financing activity. Furthermore, the Company elected to continue to estimate expected forfeitures of employee equity awards to determine the amount of compensation expense to be recognized in each period.

Note 2 - Acquisitions
In April 2017, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Westlock ControlsAcquisitions are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“Westlock”ASC 805”) from Emerson Electric Co. for cash consideration of $40 million. Westlock is a global leader in the manufacturing and sale of switchboxes, position transmitters and other solutions for networking, monitoring and controlling process valves, a new product space which is closely adjacent to the Company’s existing operations in its Fluid Handling segment. With primary operations located in Saddle Brook, New Jersey, Westlock had 2016 sales of approximately $32 million. Allocation. Accordingly, we make an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon our understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. We obtain this information during due diligence and through other sources. In the months after closing, as we obtain additional information about these assets and liabilities, including through tangible and intangible asset appraisals, we are able to refine estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price. Only items identified as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment to the purchase price allocation. We will make appropriate adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to completion of the measurement period, as required.
In order to allocate the consideration transferred for our acquisitions, the fair values of all identifiable assets and liabilities must be established. For accounting and financial reporting purposes, fair value is defined under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure” as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Additionally, fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use of that asset by market participants. Use of different estimates and judgments could yield different results.
Instrumentation & Sampling Business Acquisition
On January 31, 2020, we completed the acquisition of CIRCOR International, Inc.’s Instrumentation & Sampling Business (“I&S”) for $172.3 million on a cash-free and debt-free basis, subject to a later adjustment reflecting I&S' net working capital, cash, the assumption of certain debt-like items, and I&S' transaction expenses. We funded the acquisition through short-term borrowings consisting of $100 million of commercial paper and $67 million from our revolving credit facility, and cash on hand. In August 2020, we received $3.1 million related to the final working capital adjustment which resulted in the Company recording goodwillnet cash paid of $22.6$169.2 million. This acquisition is being

I&S has been integrated into the Company’s Fluid Handling segment,segment. The amount allocated to goodwill reflects the expected sales synergies, manufacturing efficiency and procurement savings. Goodwill from this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.
Allocation of Consideration Transferred to Net Assets Acquired

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The amounts allocated to acquired intangible assets, and their associated weighted-average useful lives which were determined based on the period in which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to our future cash flows, consist of the following:

Trademarks/trade names$2.6 13
Customer relationships49.0 14
Backlog0.9 1
Total acquired intangible assets$52.5 
The fair values of the trademark and trade name intangible assets were determined by using an income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty approach, which is a commonly accepted valuation approach. This approach is based on the assumption that in lieu of ownership, a firm would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of this asset. Therefore, a portion of I&S’ earnings, equal to the after-tax royalty that would have been paid for the use of the asset, can be attributed to our ownership. The trade names are being amortized on a straight-line basis (which approximates the economic pattern of benefits) over the estimated economic life of 13 years.
The fair values of the customer relationships and backlog intangible assets were determined by using an income approach which is a commonly accepted valuation approach. Under this approach, the net earnings attributable to the asset or liability being measured are isolated using the discounted projected net cash flows. These projected cash flows are isolated from the projected cash flows of the combined asset group over the remaining economic life of the intangible asset or liability being measured. Both the amount and the pro-formaduration of the cash flows are considered from a market participant perspective. Our estimates of market participant net cash flows considered historical and projected pricing, operational performance including market participant synergies, aftermarket retention, product life cycles, material and labor pricing, and other relevant customer, contractual and market factors. Where appropriate, the net cash flows were adjusted to reflect the potential attrition of existing customers in the future, as existing customers are expected to decline over time. The attrition-adjusted future cash flows are then discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. The customer relationship asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis (which approximates the economic pattern of benefits) over the estimated economic life of 14 years.
Supplemental Pro Forma Data
I&S’ results of operations have been included in our financial statements for the period subsequent to the completion of the acquisition on January 31, 2020. Consolidated pro forma revenue and net income attributable to common shareholders has not been presented since the impact is not material.material to our financial results.

Acquisition-Related Costs
In June 2017,Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. For the Company acquired allthree months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded $5.2 million of the outstanding stockintegration and transaction costs in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Microtronic AG (“Microtronic”) for cash consideration of approximately $18 million. With operations in Oensingen, Switzerland, Microtronic develops and manufactures closed electronic payment systems, primarily for the European vending market, strengthening the Company’s portfolio of cashless solutions. Allocation of the purchase price resulted in the Company recording goodwill of $8.9 million. This acquisition is being integrated into the Company’s Payment & Merchandising Technologies segment, and the pro-forma impact is not material.Operations.

1 As a result of the third quarter 2020 internal merger of the CMS business into the vending vertical of the CPI business, Payment Acceptance and Dispensing Products now includes Merchandising Equipment. The prior period has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price of firm orders which have not yet been fulfilled, which we also refer to as total backlog. As of March 31, 2021, total backlog was $1,161.0 million. We expect to recognize approximately 87% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue in 2021, an additional 10% in 2022 and the balance thereafter.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract assets represent unbilled amounts that typically arise from contracts for customized products or contracts for products sold directly to the U.S. government or indirectly to the U.S. government through subcontracts, where revenue recognized using the cost-to-cost method exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract assets are assessed for impairment and recorded at their net realizable value. Contract liabilities represent advance payments from customers. Revenue related to contract liabilities is recognized when control is transferred to the customer. We report contract assets, which are included within “Other current assets” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and contract liabilities, which are included within “Accrued liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, on a contract-by-contract net basis at the end of each reporting period. Net contract assets and contract liabilities consisted of the following:

Note 45 - Earnings Per Share
The Company’sOur basic earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Shares of restricted stock are included in the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per share. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, restricted share units, deferred stock units and performance-based restricted share units. The effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per common share by application of the treasury method. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.

Note 8 - Income Taxes
Effective Tax Rates
Our quarterly provision for income taxes is measured using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items within the period presented.
Our effective tax rates are as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31,
20212020
Effective Tax Rate20.9%21.8%
Our tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is lower than the prior year’s comparable period primarily due to higher tax credit utilization, partially offset by a lower statutory U.S. deduction related to our non-U.S. subsidiaries’ income.
Our tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is approximately equal to the statutory U.S. federal tax rate of 21%.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, our gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, decreased by $0.1 million, primarily as a result of decreases due to settlements and expiration of statutes of limitations in the current year, partially offset by increases in tax positions taken in the current and prior periods. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate decreased by $0.1 million. The difference between these amounts relates to (1) offsetting tax effects from other tax jurisdictions, and (2) interest expense, net of deferred taxes.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized $0.1 million of interest and penalty expense related to unrecognized tax benefits in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total amount of accrued interest and penalty expense related to unrecognized tax benefits recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $7.6 million and $7.5 million, respectively.
During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $9.4 million due to expiration of statutes of limitations and settlements with tax authorities. However, if the ultimate resolution of income tax examinations results in amounts that differ from this estimate, we will record additional income tax expense or benefit in the period in which such matters are effectively settled.

Note 69 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company’sOur business acquisitions have typically resulted in the recognition of goodwill and other intangible assets. The Company followsWe follow the provisions under ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”) as it relates to the accounting for goodwill in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.our condensed consolidated financial statements. These provisions require that the Company,we, on at least an annual basis, evaluate the fair value of the reporting units to which goodwill is assigned and attributed and compare that fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit to determine if an impairment has occurred. The Company performs itsWe perform our annual impairment testing during the fourth quarter. Impairment testing takes place more often than annually if events or circumstances indicate a change in status that would indicate a potential impairment. The Company believesWe believe that there have been no events or circumstances which would more likely than not reduce the fair value for itsour reporting units below its carrying value. A reporting unit is an operating segment unless discrete financial information is prepared and reviewed by segment management for businesses one level below that operating segment (a “component”), in which case the component would be the reporting unit. As of September 30, 2017, the CompanyMarch 31, 2021, we had seven7 reporting units.
When performing its annual impairment assessment, the Company compares the fair value of each of its reporting units to its respective carrying value. Goodwill is considered to be potentially impaired when the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair values are established primarily by discounting estimated future cash flows at an estimated cost of capital which varies for each reporting unit and which, as of the Company’s most recent annual impairment assessment, ranged between 9.0% and 12.0% (a weighted average of 10.5%), reflecting the respective inherent business risk of each of the reporting units tested. This methodology for valuing the Company’s reporting units (commonly referred to as the Income Method) has not changed since the adoption of the provisions under ASC 350. The determination of discounted cash flows is based on the businesses’ strategic plans and long-range planning forecasts, which change from year to year. The revenue growth rates included in the forecasts represent best estimates based on current and forecasted market conditions. Profit margin assumptions are projected by each reporting unit based on the current cost structure and anticipated net cost increases/reductions. There are inherent uncertainties related to these assumptions, including changes in market conditions, and management judgment is necessary in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. In addition to the foregoing, for each reporting unit, market multiples are used to corroborate its discounted cash flow results where fair value is estimated based on earnings multiples determined by available public information of comparable businesses. While the Company believes it has made reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair value of its reporting units, it is possible a material change could occur. If actual results are not consistent with management’s estimates and assumptions, goodwill and other intangible assets may then be determined to be overstated and a charge would need to be taken against net earnings. Furthermore, in order to evaluate the sensitivity of the fair value calculations on the goodwill impairment test performed during the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company applied a hypothetical, reasonably possible 10% decrease to the fair values of each reporting unit. The effects of this hypothetical 10% decrease would still result in the fair value calculation exceeding the carrying value for each reporting unit.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $284.7 million of net intangible assets, of which $28.5 million were intangiblesIntangibles with indefinite useful lives, consisting of trade names. Intangibles with indefinite useful livesnames are tested annually for impairment, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the potential for impairment. If the carrying amount of an indefinite lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the intangible asset is written down to its fair value. Fair value is calculated using relief from royalty method. The Company amortizesWe amortize the cost of definite-lived intangibles over their estimated useful lives.

In addition to annual testing for impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company reviews We also review all of itsour definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Examples

See a discussion in certain instances. Reviews occur at the lowest levelNote 2, “Acquisitions” for which identifiable cash flows are largely independentfurther details.
As of cash flows associated with other long-lived assets or asset groups and include estimated future revenues, gross profit margins, operating profit margins and capital expenditures which are based on the businesses’ strategic plans and long-range planning forecasts, which change from year to year. The revenue growth rates included in the forecasts represent the Company's best estimates based on current and forecasted market conditions, and the profit margin assumptions are based on the current cost structure and anticipatedMarch 31, 2021, we had $503.0 million of net cost increases/reductions. There are inherent uncertainties related to these assumptions, including changes in market conditions, and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, then the definite-lived intangible asset is considered impaired and a charge would be taken against net earnings based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated recoverable amount. Judgments that the Company makes which impact these assessments relate to the expected useful lives of definite-lived assets and its ability to realize any undiscounted cash flows in excess of the carrying amounts of such assets, and are affected primarily by changes in the expected use of the assets, changes in technology or development of alternative assets, changes in economic conditions, changes in operating performance and changes in expected future cash flows. Since judgment is involved in determining the recoverable amount of definite-lived intangible assets, there is risk that the carrying value of the Company's definite-livedwhich $71.0 million were intangibles with indefinite useful lives. As of December 31, 2020, we had $520.3 million of net intangible assets, may require adjustment in future periods. Historical results to date have generally approximated expected cash flows for the identifiable cash flow generating level. The Company believes there have been no events or circumstancesof which would more likely than not reduce the fair value of its indefinite-lived or definite-lived intangible assets below their carrying value.$70.9 million were intangibles with indefinite useful lives.

On March 23, 2010, a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, state court jury found the Company responsible for a 1/11th share of a $14.5 million verdict We have also tried several other cases resulting in the James Nelson claim. On February 23, 2011, the court entered judgment on the verdict in the amount of $4.0 million, jointly, against the Company and two other defendants, with additional interest in the amount of $0.01 million being assessed against the Company, only. All defendants, including the Company, and the plaintiffs took timely appeals of certain aspects of those judgments. On September 5, 2013, a panel of the Pennsylvania Superior Court, in a 2-1 decision, vacated the Nelson verdict against all defendants, reversing and remanding for a new trial. Plaintiffs requested a rehearing in the Superior Court and by order dated November 18, 2013, the Superior Court vacated the panel opinion, and granted en banc reargument. On December 23, 2014, the Superior Court issued a second opinion reversing the jury verdict. Plaintiffs sought leave to appeal to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court,plaintiff verdicts which defendants have opposed. By order dated June 21, 2017, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania denied plaintiffs’ petition for leave to appeal. The case may be set for a new trial in 2018.
On August 17, 2011, a New York City state court jury found the Company responsible for a 99% share of a $32 million verdict on the Ronald Dummitt claim. The Company filed post-trial motions seeking to overturn the verdict, to grant a new trial,we paid or to reduce the damages, which the Company argued were excessive under New York appellate case law governing awards for non-economic losses. The Court held oral argument on these motions on October 18, 2011 and issued a written decision on August 21, 2012 confirming the jury’s liability findings but reducing the award of damages to $8 million. At plaintiffs’ request, the Court entered a judgment in the amount of $4.9 million against the Company, taking into account settlement offsets and accrued interest under New York law. The Company appealed, and the judgment was affirmed in a 3-2 decision and order dated July 3, 2014. The Company appealed to the New York Court of Appeals. The court heard oral arguments on May 3, 2016 and affirmed the judgment in a decision dated June 28, 2016. The judgment, with interest, in the amount of $6.6 million was paid in the third quarter 2016.
On October 23, 2012, the Company received an adverse verdict in the Gerald Suttner claim in Buffalo, New York. The jury found that the Company was responsible for four percent (4%) of plaintiffs’ damages of $3 million. The Company filed post-trial motions requesting judgment in the Company’s favor notwithstanding the jury’s verdict, which were denied. The court entered a judgment of $0.1 million against the Company. The Company appealed, and the judgment was affirmed by order dated March 21, 2014. The Company sought reargument of this decision, which was denied. The Company sought review before the New York Court of Appeals, which was accepted in the fourth quarter of 2014. The court heard oral arguments on May 3, 2016 and affirmed the judgment in a decision dated June 28, 2016. The judgment, with interest, in the amount of $0.2 million was paid in the third quarter 2016.

On November 28, 2012, the Company received an adverse verdict in the James Hellam claim in Oakland, CA. The jury found that the Company was responsible for seven percent (7%) of plaintiffs’ non-economic damages of $4.5 million, plus a portion of their economic damages of $0.9 million. Based on California court rules regarding allocation of damages, judgment was entered against the Company in the amount of $1.282 million. The Company filed post-trial motions requesting judgment in the Company’s favor notwithstanding the jury’s verdict and also requesting that settlement offsets be applied to reduce the judgment in accordance with California law. On January 31, 2013, the court entered an order disposing partially of that motion. On March 1, 2013, the Company filed an appeal regarding the portions of the motion that were denied. The court entered judgment against the Company in the amount of $1.1 million. The Company appealed. By opinion dated April 16, 2014, the Court of Appeal affirmed the finding of liability against the Company, and the California Supreme Court denied review of this ruling. The Court of Appeal reserved the arguments relating to recoverable damages to a subsequent appeal that remains pending. On August 21, 2015, the Court of Appeal reversed the trial court with respect to a $20,000 damages item, but affirmed the trial court in all other respects. The Company sought review of that ruling before the Supreme Court of California, which was denied. The Company settled the matter in December 2015.  The settlement was reflected in the fourth quarter 2015 indemnity amount.
On February 25, 2013, a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, state court jury found the Company responsible for a 1/10th share of a $2.5 million verdict in the Thomas Amato claim and a 1/5th share of a $2.3 million verdict in the Frank Vinciguerra claim, which were consolidated for trial. The Company filed post-trial motions requesting judgments in the Company’s favor notwithstanding the jury’s verdicts or new trials, and also requesting that settlement offsets be applied to reduce the judgment in accordance with Pennsylvania law. These motions were denied. The Company appealed, and on April 17, 2015, a panel of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania affirmed the trial court’s ruling. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania accepted the Company’s petition for review and heard oral arguments on September 13, 2016. On November 22, 2016, the Court dismissed the Company’s appeal as improvidently granted. The Company paid the Vinciguerra judgment in the amount of $0.6 million in the fourth quarter 2016. The Company paid the Amato judgment, with interest, in the amount of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2017.
On March 1, 2013, a New York City state court jury entered a $35 million verdict against the Company in the Ivo Peraica claim. The Company filed post-trial motions seeking to overturn the verdict, to grant a new trial, or to reduce the damages, which the Company argues were excessive under New York appellate case law governing awards for non-economic losses and further were subject to settlement offsets. After the trial court remitted the verdict to $18 million, but otherwise denied the Company’s post-trial motion, judgment was entered against the Company in the amount of $10.6 million (including interest). The Company appealed. The Company took a separate appeal of the trial court’s denial of its summary judgment motion. The Court consolidated the appeals, which were heard in the fourth quarter of 2014. In July 2016 the Company supplemented its briefing based on the New York Court of Appeals Dummitt/Suttner decision. On October 6, 2016, a panel of the Appellate Division, First Department, affirmed the rulings of the trial court on liability issues but further reduced the damages award to $4.25 million, which after settlement offsets is calculated to be $1.94 million. Plaintiff has the option of accepting the reduced amount or having a new trial on damages. The Company filed a motion with the Appellate Division requesting a rehearing on liability issues. The motion was denied. The New York Court of Appeals also denied review. The Company paid in the first quarter of 2017 the Peraica plaintiffs $2.7 million, which was the amount owed under the judgment.
On July 31, 2013, a Buffalo, New York state court jury entered a $3.1 million verdict against the Company in the Lee Holdsworth claim. The Company filed post-trial motions seeking to overturn the verdict, to grant a new trial, or to reduce the damages, which the Company argues were excessive under New York appellate case law governing awards for non-economic losses and further were subject to settlement offsets. Post-trial motions were denied, and the court entered judgment in the amount of $1.7 million. On June 12, 2015, the Appellate Division, Fourth Department, affirmed the trial court���s ruling denying the Company’s motion for summary judgment. The court denied reargument of that ruling. The Company pursued a further appeal of the trial court rulings and judgment, which was argued on May 16, 2016. On July 8, 2016, the Court vacated the judgment and granted the Company a new trial on the issue of whether the Company is subject to joint-and-several liability under New York law. Plaintiff filed a motion to enter judgment in the trial court in the amount allegedly unaffected by the appellate ruling, approximately $1.0 million, and the Company opposed the motion. The Company settled the matter. The settlement was reflected in the fourth quarter 2016 indemnity amount.
On September 11, 2013, a Columbia, South Carolina state court jury in the Lloyd Garvin claim entered an $11 million verdict for compensatory damages against the Company and two other defendants jointly, and also awarded exemplary damages against the Company in the amount of $11 million. The jury also awarded exemplary damages against both other defendants. The Company filed post-trial motions seeking to overturn the verdict, which were denied, except that the Court remitted the compensatory damages award to $2.5 million and exemplary damages award to $3.5 million. Considering settlement offsets, the Court further reduced the total damages award to $3.5 million. The Company settled the matter. The settlement is reflected in the first quarter 2015 indemnity amount.

On September 17, 2013, a Fort Lauderdale, Florida state court jury in the Richard DeLisle claim found the Company responsible for 16 percent of an $8 million verdict. The trial court denied all parties’ post-trial motions, and entered judgment against the Company in the amount of $1.3 million. The Company has appealed. Oral argument on the appeal took place on February 16, 2016. On September 14, 2016 a panel of the Florida Court of Appeals reversed and entered judgment in favor of the Company. Plaintiff filed with the Court of Appeals a motion for rehearing and/or certification of an appeal to the Florida Supreme Court, which the Court denied on November 9, 2016. Plaintiffs have subsequently requested review by the Supreme Court of Florida. Plaintiffs' motion was granted on July 11, 2017. The briefing in this matter remains ongoing.
On June 16, 2014, a New York City state court jury entered a $15 million verdict against the Company in the Ivan Sweberg claim and a $10 million verdict against the Company in the Selwyn Hackshaw claim. The two claims were consolidated for trial. The Company filed post-trial motions seeking to overturn the verdicts, to grant new trials, or to reduce the damages, which were denied, except that the Court reduced the Sweberg award to $10 million, and reduced the Hackshaw award to $6 million. Judgments have been entered in the amount of $5.3 million in Sweberg and $3.1 million in Hackshaw. The Company appealed. Oral argument on Sweberg took place on February 16, 2016, and oral argument on Hackshaw took place on March 9, 2016. On October 6, 2016, two panels of the Appellate Division, First Department, affirmed the rulings of the trial court on liability issues but further reduced the Sweberg damages award to $9.5 million and further reduced the Hackshaw damages award to $3 million, which after settlement offsets are calculated to be $4.73 million in Sweberg and $0 in Hackshaw. Plaintiffs were given the option of accepting the reduced awards or having new trials on damages. Plaintiffs subsequently brought an appeal in Hackshaw before the New York Court of Appeals, which the Court denied. The Company filed a motion with the Appellate Division requesting a rehearing on liability issues in Sweberg. That motion was denied. The New York Court of Appeals also denied review. The Company paid in the first quarter of 2017 the Sweberg plaintiffs $5.7 million, which was the amount owed under this judgment. No damages are owed in Hackshaw.
On July 2, 2015, a St. Louis, Missouri state court jury in the James Poage claim entered a $1.5 million verdict for compensatory damages against the Company. The jury also awarded exemplary damages against the Company in the amount of $10 million. The Company filed a motion seeking to reduce the verdict to account for the verdict set-offs. That motion was denied, and judgment was entered against the Company in the amount of $10.8 million. The Company initiated an appeal. Oral argument was held on December 13, 2016. In an opinion dated May 2, 2017, a Missouri Court of Appeals panel affirmed the judgment in all respects.  The Court of Appeals denied the Company’s motion to transfer the case to the Supreme Court of Missouri. The Company sought leave to appeal before the Supreme Court of Missouri, which denied that request. The Company plans to seek further review of that ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States.
On February 9, 2016, a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, federal court jury found the Company responsible for a 30 percent share of a $1.085 million verdict in the Valent Rabovsky claim. The court ordered briefing on the amount of the judgment. The Company argued, among other things, that settlement offsets reduce the award to plaintiff under Pennsylvania law. A further hearing was held April 26, 2016, after which the court denied the Company’s request and entered judgment in the amount of $0.4 million. The Company filed post-trial motions, which were denied in two decisions issued on August 26, 2016 and September 28, 2016. The Company is pursuing an appeal to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, which was argued on June 12, 2017. On September 27, 2017, the Court entered an order asking the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania to decide one of the issues raised in the Company’s appeal. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has yet to rule on their request.
On April 22, 2016, a Phoenix, Arizona federal court jury found the Company responsible for a 20 percent share of a $9 million verdict in the George Coulbourn claim, and further awarded exemplary damages against the Company in the amount of $5 million.  The jury also awarded compensatory and exemplary damages against the other defendant present at trial.  The court entered judgment against the Company in the amount of $6.8 million. The Company filed post-trial motions, which were denied on September 20, 2016. The Company is pursuing an appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Briefing is ongoing.
On June 30, 2017, a New York City state court jury entered a $20 million verdict against the Company in the Geoffrey Anisansel claim. The Company settled the matter in August 2017. The settlement is reflected in the third quarter 2017 indemnity amount.

Cumulatively through September 30, 2017, the Company hasMarch 31, 2021, we have resolved (by settlement or dismissal) approximately 130,000142,000 claims. The related settlement cost incurred by the Companyus and itsour insurance carriers is approximately $530$684 million, for an average settlement cost per resolved claim of approximately $4,100.$4,800. The average settlement cost per claim resolved during the years ended December 31, 2016, 20152020, 2019 and 20142018 was $3,900, $3,100$13,900, $15,800, and $3,800,$11,300, respectively. Because claims are sometimes


NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
dismissed in large groups, the average cost per resolved claim, as well as the number of open claims, can fluctuate significantly from period to period. In addition to large group dismissals, the nature of the disease and corresponding settlement amounts for each claim resolved will also drive changes from period to period in the average settlement cost per claim. Accordingly, the average cost per resolved claim is not considered in the Company’sour periodic review of itsour estimated asbestos liability. For a discussion regarding the four most significant factors affecting the liability estimate, see “Effects on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”.Statements.”
Effects on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company hasWe have retained thean independent actuarial firm of Hamilton, Rabinovitz & Associates, Inc. (“HR&A”), a nationally recognized expert in the field, to assist management in estimating the Company’sour asbestos liability in the tort system. HR&A reviewsThe actuarial consultants review information provided by the Companyus concerning claims filed, settled and dismissed, amounts paid in settlements and relevant claim information such as the nature of the asbestos-related disease asserted by the claimant, the jurisdiction where filed and the time lag from filing to disposition of the claim. The methodology used by HR&Athe actuarial consultants to project future asbestos costs is based on the Company’sour recent historical experience for claims filed, settled and dismissed during a base reference period. The Company’sOur experience is then compared to estimates of the number of individuals likely to develop asbestos-related diseases determined based on widely used previously conducted epidemiological studies augmented with current data inputs. Those studies were undertaken in connection with national analyses of the population of workers believed to have been exposed to asbestos. Using that information, HR&A estimatesthe actuarial consultants estimate the number of future claims that would be filed against the Companyus and estimates the aggregate settlement or indemnity costs that would be incurred to resolve both pending and future claims based upon the average settlement costs by disease during the reference period. This methodology has been accepted by numerous courts. After discussions with us, the Company, HR&A augments itsactuarial consultants augment our liability estimate for the costs of defending asbestos claims in the tort system using a forecast from the Companyus which is based upon discussions with itsour defense counsel. Based on this information, HR&A compilesthe actuarial consultants compile an estimate of the Company’sour asbestos liability for pending and future claims using a range of reference periods based on claim experience and covering claims expected to be filed through the indicated forecast period. The most significant factors affecting the liability estimate are (1) the number of new mesothelioma claims filed against the Company,us, (2) the average settlement costs for mesothelioma claims, (3) the percentage of mesothelioma claims dismissed against the Companyus and (4) the aggregate defense costs incurred by the Company.us. These factors are interdependent, and no one factor predominates in determining the liability estimate.

Page 22


In the Company’sour view, the forecast period used to provide the best estimate for asbestos claims and related liabilities and costs is a judgment based upon a number of trend factors, including the number and type of claims being filed each year; the jurisdictions where such claims are filed, and the effect of any legislation or judicial orders in such jurisdictions restricting the types of claims that can proceed to trial on the merits; and the likelihood of any comprehensive asbestos legislation at the federal level. In addition, the dynamics of asbestos litigation in the tort system have been significantly affected by the substantial number of companies that have filed for bankruptcy protection, thereby staying any asbestos claims against them until the conclusion of such proceedings, and the establishment of a number of post-bankruptcy trusts for asbestos claimants, which have been estimated to provide $36 billion for payments to current and future claimants. These trend factors have both positive and negative effects on the dynamics of asbestos litigation in the tort system and the related best estimate of the Company’sour asbestos liability, and these effects do not move in a linear fashion but rather change over multi-year periods. Accordingly, the Company’s management continues to monitor these trend factors over time and periodically assesses whether an alternative forecast period is appropriate.
Each quarter, HR&A compilesthe actuarial consultants compile an update based upon the Company’sour experience in claims filed, settled and dismissed as well as average settlement costs by disease category (mesothelioma, lung cancer, other cancer, and non-malignant conditions including asbestosis). In addition to this claims experience, the Companywe also considersconsider additional quantitative and qualitative factors such as the nature of the aging of pending claims, significant appellate rulings and legislative developments, and their respective effects on expected future settlement values. As part of this process, the Companywe also takes into accountconsider trends in the tort system such as those enumerated above. Management considers all these factors in conjunction with the liability estimate of HR&Athe actuarial consultants and determines whether a change in the estimate is warranted.
Liability Estimate. WithIn June 2016, the assistanceNew York State Court of HR&A,Appeals issued its opinion in Dummitt v. Crane Co., affirming a 2012 verdict for $4.9 million against us. In that opinion, the court ruled that in certain circumstances we are legally responsible for asbestos-containing materials made and sold by third parties that others attached post-sale to our equipment. This decision provided clarity regarding the nature of claims that may proceed to trial in New York and greater predictability regarding future claim activity. We also reflected the impact of the Dummitt decision on our expected settlement values. Accordingly, on December 31, 2016, we updated and extended our asbestos liability estimate through 2059, the generally accepted end point.


NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Following our experience in the tort system post the Dummitt decision, we entered into several, increasingly similar, group settlements with various plaintiff firms and we expect this new trend of these types of group settlements to continue. Accordingly, effective as of December 31, 2016, the Company extended its2019, we updated our estimate of the asbestos liability, including therevised costs of settlement or indemnity payments and defense costs relating to currently pending claims and future claims projected to be filed against the Companyus through the generally acceptedsame expected end point of such claims in 2059. The Company’s previous estimate was for asbestos claims filed or projected to be filed through 2021. The Company’sOur estimate of the asbestos liability for pending and future claims through 2059 is based on the projected future asbestos costs resulting from the Company’sour experience using a range of reference periods for claims filed, settled and dismissed. Based on this estimate, the Companywe recorded an additional liability of $227$255 million as of December 31, 2016. This action was based on several factors which contribute to the Company’s ability to reasonably estimate this liability through 2059. First, the number of mesothelioma claims (which although constituting approximately 10% of the Company’s total pending asbestos claims, have consistently accounted for approximately 90% of the Company’s2019.
An aggregate settlement and defense costs) being filed against the Company and associated settlement costs have stabilized. Second, there have been generally favorable developments in the trend of case law which has been a contributing factor in stabilizing the asbestos claims activity and related settlement costs. Third, there have been significant actions taken by certain state legislatures and courts that have reduced the number and types of claims that can proceed to trial, which has been a significant factor in stabilizing the asbestos claims activity. Fourth, recent court decisions in certain jurisdictions have provided additional clarity regarding the nature of claims that may proceed to trial in those jurisdictions and greater predictability regarding future claim activity. Fifth, the Company has coverage-in-place agreements with almost all of its excess insurers, which enables the Company to project a stable relationship between settlement and defense costs paid by the Company and reimbursements from its insurers. Sixth, annual settlements with respect to groups of cases with certain plaintiff firms have helped to stabilize indemnity payments and defense costs. Taking these factors into account, the Company believes that it can reasonably estimate the asbestos liability for pending claims and future claims to be filed through 2059.
Management has made its best estimate of the costs through 2059 based on the analysis by HR&A completed in January 2017. Through September 30, 2017, the Company’s actual experience during the updated reference period for mesothelioma claims filed and dismissed generally approximated the assumptions in the Company’s liability estimate. In addition to this claims experience, the Company considered additional quantitative and qualitative factors such as the nature of the aging of pending claims, significant appellate rulings and legislative developments, and their respective effects on expected future settlement values. Based on this evaluation, the Company determined that no change in the estimate was warranted for the period ended September 30, 2017.
A liability of $696$712 million wasis recorded as of December 31, 20162019 to cover the estimated cost of asbestos claims now pending or subsequently asserted through 2059, of which approximately 80%85% is attributable to settlement and defense costs for future claims projected to be filed through 2059. The liability is reduced when cash payments are made in respect of settled claims and defense costs. The liability was $630$657 million and $670 million as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. It is not possible to forecast when cash payments related to the asbestos liability will be fully expended; however, it is expected such cash payments will continue for a number of years past 2059, due to the significant proportion of future claims included in the estimated asbestos liability and the lag time between the date a claim is filed and when it is resolved. None of these estimated costs have been discounted to present value due to the inability to reliably forecast the timing of payments. The current portion of the total estimated liability at September

Page 23


30, 2017 was $71March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is $66.5 million, respectively and represents the Company’sour best estimate of total asbestos costs expected to be paid during the twelve-month period. Such amount is based upon the HR&Aactuarial model together with the Company’sour prior year payment experience for both settlement and defense costs.
We have made our best estimate of the costs through 2059. Through March 31, 2021, our actual experience during the updated reference period for mesothelioma claims filed and dismissed generally approximated the assumptions in our liability estimate. In addition to this claims experience, we considered additional quantitative and qualitative factors such as the nature of the aging of pending claims, significant appellate rulings and legislative developments, and their respective effects on expected future settlement values. Based on this evaluation, we determined that no change in the estimate was warranted for the period ended March 31, 2021.
Insurance Coverage and Receivables. Prior to 2005, a significant portion of the Company’sour settlement and defense costs were paid by itsour primary insurers. With the exhaustion of that primary coverage, the Companywe began negotiations with itsour excess insurers to reimburse the Companyus for a portion of itsour settlement and/or defense costs as incurred. To date, the Company haswe have entered into agreements providing for such reimbursements, known as “coverage-in-place”,“coverage-in-place,” with eleven of itsour excess insurer groups. Under such coverage-in-place agreements, an insurer’s policies remain in force and the insurer undertakes to provide coverage for the Company’sour present and future asbestos claims on specified terms and conditions that address, among other things, the share of asbestos claims costs to be paid by the insurer, payment terms, claims handling procedures and the expiration of the insurer’s obligations. Similarly, under a variant of coverage-in-place, the Company haswe have entered into an agreement with a group of insurers confirming the aggregate amount of available coverage under the subject policies and setting forth a schedule for future reimbursement payments to the Companyus based on aggregate indemnity and defense payments made. In addition, with ten of itsour excess insurer groups, the Companywe entered into agreements settling all asbestos and other coverage obligations for an agreed sum totalingand received a total of $82.5 million in aggregate.aggregate as a result of those settlements. Reimbursements from insurers for past and ongoing settlement and defense costs allocable to their policies have been made in accordance with these coverage-in-place and other agreements. All of these agreements include provisions for mutual releases, indemnification of the insurer and, for coverage-in-place, claims handling procedures. With the agreements referenced above, the Company haswe have concluded settlements with all but onetwo of itsour solvent excess insurers whosewith policies are expected to respond to the aggregate costs included in the liability estimate. ThatThe first such insurer, which issued a single applicable policy, has been paying for many years the shares of defense and indemnity costs the Company haswe have allocated to it, subject to a reservation of rights. The second insurer issued a single applicable policy in a layer of coverage that we do not anticipate reaching until many years from now, and, prior to the policy being reached, we anticipate opening a dialogue with that insurer about the execution of a suitable agreement. There are no pending legal proceedings between the Companyus and any insurer contesting the Company’sour asbestos claims under itsour insurance policies.
In conjunction with developing the aggregate updated liability estimate referenced above, the Companywe also developed an updated estimate of probable insurance recoveries for itsour asbestos liabilities. In developing this estimate, the Companywe considered itsour coverage-in-place and other settlement agreements described above, as well as a number ofseveral additional factors. These additional factors include the financial viability of the insurance companies, the method by which losses will be allocated to the various insurance policies and the years covered by those policies, how settlement and defense costs will be covered by the insurance policies and interpretation of the effect on coverage of various policy terms and limits and their interrelationships.limits. In addition, the timing and amount of reimbursements will vary because the Company’sour insurance coverage for asbestos claims involves multiple insurers, with different policy terms and certain gaps in coverage. In addition to consulting with legal counsel on these insurance matters, the Companywe retained insurance consultants to assist management in the estimation of probable insurance recoveries based upon the aggregate


NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
liability estimate described above and assuming the continued viability of all solvent insurance carriers. Based upon the analysis of policy terms and other factors noted above by the Company’sour legal counsel, and incorporating risk mitigation judgments by the Companyus where policy terms or other factors were not certain, the Company’sour insurance consultants compiled a model indicating how the Company’sour historical insurance policies would respond to varying levels of asbestos settlement and defense costs and the allocation of such costs between such insurers and the Company.us. Using the estimated liability as of December 31, 20162019 (for claims filed or expected to be filed through 2059), the insurance consultant’s model forecasted that approximately 21%14% of the liability would be reimbursed by the Company’sour insurers. While there are overall limits on the aggregate amount of insurance available to the Companyus with respect to asbestos claims, those overallcertain limits were not reached by the total estimated liability currently recorded by the Company,us, and such overall limits did not influence the Company in itsour determination of the asset amount to record. The proportion of the asbestos liability that is allocatedWe allocate to certain insurance coverage years, however, exceeds the limits of available insurance in those years. The Company allocates to itselfourselves the amount of the asbestos liability (for claims filed or expected to be filed through 2059) that is in excess of available insurance coverage allocated to such years. An asset of $143$98 million was recorded as of December 31, 20162019 representing the probable insurance reimbursement for such claims expected through 2059. The asset is reduced as reimbursements and other payments from insurers are received. The asset was $124$84 million and $87 million as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
The Company reviewsWe review the aforementioned estimated reimbursement rate with itsour insurance consultants on a periodic basis in order to confirm its overall consistency with the Company’sour established reserves. The reviews encompass consideration of the performance of the insurers under coverage-in-place agreements and the effect of any additional lump-sum payments under other insurer agreements. Actual insurance reimbursements vary from period to period, and will decline over time, for the reasons cited above.
Uncertainties. Estimation of the Company’sour ultimate exposure for asbestos-related claims is subject to significant uncertainties, as there are multiple variables that can affect the timing, severity and quantity of claims and the manner of their resolution. The Company cautionsWe caution that itsour estimated liability is based on assumptions with respect to future claims, settlement and defense costs based on past experience that may not prove reliable as predictors; the assumptions are interdependent and no single

Page 24


factor predominates in determining the liability estimate. A significant upward or downward trend in the number of claims filed, depending on the nature of the alleged injury, the jurisdiction where filed and the quality of the product identification, or a significant upward or downward trend in the costs of defending claims, could change the estimated liability, as would substantial adverse verdicts at trial that withstand appeal. A legislative solution, structured settlement transaction, or significant change in relevant case law could also change the estimated liability.
The same factors that affect developing estimates of probable settlement and defense costs for asbestos-related liabilities also affect estimates of the probable insurance reimbursements, as do a number of additional factors. These additional factors include the financial viability of the insurance companies, the method by which losses will be allocated to the various insurance policies and the years covered by those policies, how settlement and defense costs will be covered by the insurance policies and interpretation of the effect on coverage of various policy terms and limits and their interrelationships. In addition, due to the uncertainties inherent in litigation matters, no assurances can be given regarding the outcome of any litigation, if necessary, to enforce the Company’sour rights under itsour insurance policies or settlement agreements.
Many uncertainties exist surrounding asbestos litigation, and the Companywe will continue to evaluate itsour estimated asbestos-related liability and corresponding estimated insurance reimbursement as well as the underlying assumptions and process used to derive these amounts. These uncertainties may result in the Companyour incurring future charges or increases to income to adjust the carrying value of recorded liabilities and assets, particularly if the number of claims and settlement and defense costs change significantly, or if there are significant developments in the trend of case law or court procedures, or if legislation or another alternative solution is implemented. Although the resolution of these claims will likely take many years, the effect on the results of operations, financial position and cash flow in any given period from a revision to these estimates could be material.

Environmental Matters


For environmental matters, the Company recordswe record a liability for estimated remediation costs when it is probable that the Companywe will be responsible for such costs and they can be reasonably estimated. Generally, third party specialists assist in the estimation of remediation costs. The environmental remediation liability as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 is substantially related to the former manufacturing sitessite in Goodyear, Arizona (the “Goodyear Site”) discussed below.
Goodyear Site
The Goodyear Site was operated by Unidynamics/Phoenix, Inc. (“UPI”), which became an indirect subsidiary of the Company in 1985 when the Companywe acquired UPI’s parent company, UnidynamicsUniDynamics Corporation. UPI manufactured explosive and pyrotechnic compounds, including components for critical military programs, for the U.S. government at the Goodyear Site from 1962 to 1993, under contracts with the Department of Defense and other government agencies and certain of their prime contractors. In 1990, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) issued administrative orders requiring UPI to design and carry out certain

remedial actions, which UPI has done. Groundwater extraction and treatment systems have been in operation at the Goodyear Site since 1994. On July 26, 2006, the Companywe entered into a consent decree with the EPA with respect to the Goodyear Site providing for, among other things, a work plan for further investigation and remediation activities (inclusive of a supplemental remediation investigation and feasibility study). During the third quarter of 2014, the EPA issued a Record of Decision (“ROD”) amendment permitting, among other things, additional source area remediation resulting in the Companyus recording a charge of $49.0 million, extending the accrued costs through 2022. Following the 2014 ROD amendment, we continued our remediation activities and explored an alternative strategy to accelerate remediation of the site. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we received conceptual agreement from the EPA on our alternative remediation strategy which is expected to further reduce the contaminant plume. Accordingly, in 2019, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $18.9 million, net of reimbursements, to extend our forecast period through 2027 and reflect our revised workplan.  The total estimated gross liability was $43.1$37.5 million and $39.8 million as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively and as described below, a portion is reimbursable by the U.S. Government. The current portion of the total estimated liability was approximately $10$10.9 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and represents the Company’sour best estimate, in consultation with itsour technical advisors, of total remediation costs expected to be paid during the twelve monthtwelve-month period.

It is not possible at this point to reasonably estimate the amount of any obligation in excess of the Company’sour current accruals through the 20222027 forecast period because of the aforementioned uncertainties, in particular, the continued significant changes in the Goodyear Site conditions and additional expectations of remediation activities experienced in recent years.


On July 31, 2006, the Companywe entered into a consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice on behalf of the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy pursuant to which, among other things, the U.S. Government reimburses the Companyus for 21% of qualifying costs of investigation and remediation activities at the Goodyear Site. As of September 30, 2017, the Company hasMarch 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we recorded a receivable of $8.5$7.3 million and $7.8 million, respectively for the expected reimbursements from the U.S. Government in respect of the aggregate liability as at that date. The receivable is reduced as reimbursements and other payments from the U.S. Government are received.

The Company hasMarion, IL Site
We have been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) with respect to environmental contamination at the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge Superfund Site (the “Crab Orchard Site”). The Crab Orchard Site is located near Marion, Illinois, and consists of approximately 55,000 acres. Beginning in 1941, the United States used the Crab Orchard Site for the production of ordnance and other related products for use in World War II. In 1947, about half of the Crab Orchard Site was leased to a variety of industrial tenants whose activities (which continue to this day) included manufacturing ordnance and explosives. A predecessor to the Companyof us formerly leased portions of the Crab Orchard Site and conducted manufacturing operations at the Crab Orchard Site from 1952 until 1964. General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems, Inc. (“GD-OTS”) is in the process of conducting a remedial investigation and feasibility study for a portion of the Crab Orchard Site (referred to as the(the “AUS-OU”), which includes an area where the Companywe maintained operations, pursuant to an Administrative Order on Consent. A remedial investigation report was approved in February 2015, and work on the feasibility study is underway.

GD-OTS has asked the Companyus to participate in a voluntary, cost allocation/multi-party mediation exercise with respect to response costs it has incurred or will incur with respect to the AUS-OU. The Company, along with a number of other PRPs that were contacted, initially declined, but in light of the ongoing investigative activities, and the apparent willingness of the U.S. government to participate in a mediation proceeding, the Company and a number of PRPs have agreed to participate in a non-binding mediation process. The CompanyWe and other PRPs executed a non-binding mediation agreement on March 16, 2015, and the U.S. government following the resolution of an inter-agency dispute, executed the mediation agreement on August 6, 2015. The participants have selected a mediator, are exchanging relevant information, and have agreed upon a framework for the mediation to address the numerous sub-areas at the Site in a coherent fashion. The first phase of the mediation, involving certain former munitions or ordnance storage areas, is presently scheduledbegan in November 2017, but did not result in a multi-party settlement agreement. Subsequently, we entered into discussions directly with GD-OTS and reached an agreement-in-principle with GD-OTS to contribute toward GD-OTS’s past RI-FS costs associated with the first-phase areas for a non-material amount. We have also agreed to pay a modest percentage of future RI-FS costs and the United States’ claimed past response costs relative to the first-phase areas, a sum that we expect in the aggregate to be immaterial. We understand that GD-OTS has also reached agreements-in-principle with the U.S. Government and the other participating PRPs related to the first-phase areas of concern. Negotiations between GD-OTS and the U.S. Government are underway with respect to resolution of the remaining areas of the site, including those portions of the Crab Orchard Site where our predecessor conducted in November 2017.

We at present cannot predict whether this mediation proceedingthese further negotiations will result in an agreement, or when any determination of the ultimate allocable shareshares of the various PRPs, including the U.S. Government, is likely to be completed. Although a loss is probable, itIt is not possible at this time to reasonably estimate the total amount of any obligation for remediation of the Crab Orchard Site as a whole because the extent of the environmental impact, allocation among PRPs, selection of remediation alternatives, and concurrence of regulatory authorities have not yet advanced to the stage where a reasonable estimate can be made.

Roseland, NJ Site
The Company was named as a defendant in a suit filed in June 2015 by a small group of homeowners in Missoula, Montana, whose homes are near the site of a former lumber mill and wood processing facility (the “White Pine Site”) that operated from approximately 1920 to 1996.  The suit alleges that the homeowners’ property was damaged by coming into contact with certain hazardous substances that migrated from the White Pine Site. The White PineRoseland Site was owned and operated by a predecessor to Huttig Building Products, Inc.Resistoflex Corporation (“Huttig”Resistoflex”), which was abecame an indirect subsidiary of the Company in 1985 when the Company acquired Resistoflex’s parent company, UniDynamics Corporation. Resistoflex manufactured specialty lined pipe and fittings at the site from 1968the 1950s until Huttig’s shares were distributed toit was closed in the Company’s shareholders in 1999. Under the terms of the distribution agreement, Huttig retained the liability for its prior operations.mid-1980s. The Company tendered the defense of this matter to Huttig, and Huttig agreed to defend and indemnify the Company. That matter was resolved through a settlement agreement reached between Huttig and the individual plaintiffs, and the case was dismissed as against the Company. In a related matter, Huttig filed suit against certain insurers who Huttig claimed were obligated to provide insurance coverage for the environmentalundertook an extensive soil remediation costs and other damages caused by the operationseffort at the White PineRoseland Site following its closure and had been monitoring the Site’s condition in the years that followed. In response to changes in remediation standards, in 2014 the Company began to conduct further site characterization and delineation studies at the Site. The Company was brought into that caseis in October 2015 as a third party defendant by two of the insurers seeking declaratory relief that no coverage obligations are owed to Huttig or the Company with respect to the White Pine Site. In late 2015, Huttig notified the Companystages of its intention to pursue an action against the Company for damages related to Huttig’s environmental liabilityremediation activities at the White Pine Site, which includes a comprehensive delineation of contaminants of concern in soil, groundwater, surface water, sediment, and the scope of coverage under the Company’s historical insurance policies available to Huttig for such liability.

The Company expects, based on current actuarial calculations, to contribute approximately $12.0 million to its defined benefit plans, of which $5.4 million has been contributed during the first nine months of 2017. The Company contributed $8.3 million to its defined benefit plans in 2016. Cash contributions for subsequent years will depend on a number of factors, including the impact of the Pension Protection Act signed into law in 2006, changes in minimum funding requirements, long-term interest rates, the investment performance of plan assets and changes in employee census data affecting the Company’s projected benefit obligations.

Note 10 - Income Taxes
The Company’s quarterly provision for income taxes is measured using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items within the period presented.
Effective Tax Rates
The Company’s effective tax rates are as follows:
 Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
 September 30, September 30,
 2017 2016 2017 2016
Effective Tax Rate29.4% 33.0% 29.4% 29.4%

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 is lower than the prior year’s comparable period primarily due to the favorable effect of share-based compensation, favorable return-to-provision adjustments, and a reduction in tax accruals due to lapses in the statutes of limitation, partially offset by a higher amount of income earned in jurisdictions with higher statutory tax rates.

Page 27



The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is approximately equal to the prior year’s comparable period.

The Company’s effective tax rates for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are lower than the statutory U.S. federal tax rate of 35% primarily due to the favorable impact of income earned in jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate, the U.S. federal tax benefit for domestic manufacturing activities, U.S. federal research credit, and the benefit recorded for excess tax benefits associated with share-based payments. These items are partially offset by the unfavorable impacts of U.S. state taxes and certain expenses that are statutorily non-deductible for income tax purposes.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits
During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, decreased by less than $0.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits increased by $2.7 million, primarily as a result of tax positions taken in both current and prior periods, partially offset by reductions resulting from the expiration of statutes of limitations. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate increased by $0.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The difference between these amounts relates to (1) offsetting effects from other tax jurisdictions, and (2) interest expense, net of deferred taxes.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of its income tax expense. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of interest and penalty expense related to unrecognized tax benefits in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.commercial paper program. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,2020, there was $27.2 million of outstanding borrowings under the total amount of accrued interest and penalty expense related to unrecognized tax benefits recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets was $6.8 million and $6.2 million, respectively.

During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that the Company's unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $7.7 million due to expiration of statutes of limitations and settlements with tax authorities. However, if the ultimate resolution of income tax examinations results in amounts that differ from this estimate, the Company will record additional income tax expense or benefit in the period in which such matters are effectively settled.

Income Tax Examinations
The Company's income tax returns are subject to examination by the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax authorities.

The Company’s consolidated federal income tax returns for the years 2014 through 2016 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). In addition, acquired subsidiaries’ federal tax carryforwards (2007 through 2012) remain subject to IRS examination.

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2011. Currently the Company and its subsidiaries are under examination in various jurisdictions, including Germany (2010 through 2012), Canada (2013 through 2015) and the state of California (2012 and 2013).

In April 2020, to enhance financial flexibility and maintain maximum liquidity in response to the CP Program. 
Revolving Credit Facility - In May 2012,uncertainty in the Companyglobal markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we entered into a five year, $300 million Amended and Restatedsenior unsecured 364-day credit facility (the “364-Day Credit Agreement (as subsequently amended in March 2013 and increased to $500 million (the “Facility”)Agreement”). The Facility allows the Company to borrow, repay, or to the extent permitted by the agreement, prepay and re-borrow funds at any time prior to the stated maturity date. The loan proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes including financing for acquisitions. Interest is based on, at its option, (1) a LIBOR-based formula that is dependent in part on the Company's credit rating (LIBOR plus 105 basis points as of the date of this report; up to a maximum of LIBOR plus 147.5 basis points), or (2) the greatest of (i) the JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.'s prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points, or (iii) an adjusted LIBOR rate plus 100 basis points, plus a spread dependent on the Company’s credit rating (5 basis points as of the date of this report; up to a maximum of 47.5 basis points). In May 2015, the Company entered into an amendment ("Amendment No. 2") to the Facility. Amendment No. 2, among other things, (i) extends the maturity date under the Facility to May 2020 and (ii) amends the fee and applicable margins on the revolving loans made pursuant to the Facility. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Facility as of September 30, 2017.

Note 12 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to certain risks related to its ongoing business operations, including market risks related to fluctuation in currency exchange. The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to manage the risk of certain cross-currency business relationships to minimize the impact of currency exchange fluctuations on the Company’s earnings and cash flows. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, the foreign exchange contracts designated as hedging instruments did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, balance sheet or cash flows. Foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments, which primarily pertain to foreign exchange fluctuation risk of intercompany positions, had a notional value of $5 million and $8 million as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016, respectively. As of each of the periods ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company's receivable position for the foreign exchange contracts2020, there was less than $0.1 million. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s payable position for the foreign exchange contracts was $0.3$346.9 million and $0.1$348.5 million outstanding under the 364-Day Credit Agreement, respectively. On April 15, 2021, we repaid the amount outstanding under the 364-Day Credit Agreement with cash on hand and the issuance of commercial paper.
Note 13 - Fair Value Measurements
Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are to be considered from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. The standards also establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The standards describe three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include over-the-counter derivatives, principally forward foreign exchange contracts, whose value is determined using pricing models with inputs that are generally based on published foreign exchange rates and exchange traded prices, adjusted for other specific inputs that are primarily observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Valuation Technique-
The Company’scarrying value of our financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value, without being discounted, due to the short periods during which these amounts are outstanding.
We are exposed to certain risks related to our ongoing business operations, including market risks related to fluctuation in currency exchange. We use foreign exchange contracts to manage the risk of certain cross-currency business relationships to minimize the impact of currency exchange fluctuations on our earnings and cash flows. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Foreign exchange contracts are not designated as hedging instruments and had a notional value of $44.2 million and $34.2 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Our derivative assets and liabilities include foreign exchange contract derivatives that are measured at fair value using internal models based on observable market inputs such as forward rates and interest rates. Based on these inputs, the derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Such derivative receivable amounts are recorded within other“Other current assetsassets” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $0.6 million and less than $0.1 million as of each of the periods ending September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016,2020, respectively.

Available-for-sale securities consist of marketable debt securities and rabbi trust investments. Marketable debt securities consist of commercial paper which are measured at fair value using prices for comparable securities in active markets, and are therefore classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The carryingfair value of the Company’s financial assetscommercial paper was $10.0 million and liabilities, including cash$30 million as of March 31, 2021 and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term loans payable approximateDecember 31, 2020, respectively. These investments are included in “Other current assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We also have two rabbi trusts that hold marketable securities for the benefit of participants in our Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 14 - Restructuring
Overview
2020 Repositioning - In the second quarter of 2020, we initiated actions in response to the adverse economic impact of COVID-19 and integration actions related to the Cummins-Allison acquisition. These actions include workforce reductions of approximately 1,200 employees, or about 11% of our global workforce, and the exiting of two leased office facilities and one leased warehouse facility.
2019 Repositioning - In the fourth quarter of 2019, we initiated actions to consolidate two manufacturing operations in Europe within our Fluid Handling segment. In 2020, we recorded additional severance costs related to the final negotiation with the works council/union at both locations. These actions, taken together, included workforce reductions of approximately 180 employees, or less than 1% of our global workforce.
2017 Repositioning - In the fourth quarter of 2017, we initiated broad-based repositioning actions designed to improve profitability. These actions included headcount reductions of approximately 300 employees, or about 3% of our global workforce, and select facility consolidations in North America and Europe. In 2020, we adjusted the estimate downward to reflect the impact of employees that chose to voluntarily terminate prior to receiving severance at the conclusion of the actions in North America. In 2021, we recorded a gain on sale of real estate related to these actions.
Other Restructuring - In the second quarter of 2020, we recorded other restructuring costs within our Payment & Merchandising Technologies segment. We do not expect to incur additional restructuring charges.
Restructuring gain, net
During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recorded a net restructuring gain of $13.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, primarily related to the 2017 repositioning actions described above. These gains are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Restructuring gain, net.”

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OUTLOOK
Overall
Our sales depend heavily on industries that are cyclical in nature or are subject to market conditions which may cause customer demand for our products to be volatile and unpredictable. Demand in these industries is affected by fluctuations in domestic and international economic conditions, as well as currency fluctuations, commodity costs, and a variety of other factors.
For 2017,2021, we expect a total year-over-year sales to increase slightly compared to 2016, with acquisition related revenue, net of divestitures, and slightapproximately 8%, driven by mid-single digit core growth partially offset by slightly unfavorablefollowing the substantial core sales decline in 2020 attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, an approximate 2.5% benefit from favorable foreign exchange.exchange, and a slight acquisition benefit. We expect a substantialan improvement in operating profit of more than 70%, driven by a combination of operating leverage on higher volumes, restructuring and operating margins, driven primarily by the absence of an asbestos provision, alongacquisition related charges recorded in 2020 that will not repeat in 2021, productivity and carry-over savings associated with improved productivity, favorable product mix, and a reduction in engineering expense in our Aerospace & Electronics segment.COVID-19 related repositioning actions.
Fluid Handling
In 2017,2021, we expect Fluid Handling sales to increase modestlyin the high-single digit range compared to 2016,2020, driven by an acquisition benefitcore sales growth in the mid-single digit range following the substantial core sales decline in 2020 attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic; favorable foreign exchange of approximately 2.5%4%; and slightly positive core growth.a small benefit from the I&S acquisition.
We expect Process Valves and Related Products sales to increase in the low single-digithigh-single digit range compared to 2016,2020, driven primarily by a low to mid single-digit increase in acquisition relatedmid-single digit core sales and slightlygrowth, an approximate 3% benefit from favorable foreign exchange, partially offset by slightly negative core growth. Excluding foreign exchange, we expect order rates in 2017 to increase modestly compared to 2016 as our end markets continue to stabilize. However, given weak order activity in 2016,and a small benefit from the backlog entering the year was lower than it was at the beginning of the prior year, limiting core sales growth in 2017.
I&S acquisition. We expect Commercial Valves sales to increase modestlyin the low double-digit range compared to 2016, with unfavorable2020 driven by favorable foreign exchange more than offset byin the mid- to high-single digit range, and low- to mid-single digit core growth.
Our Other Products sales are expectedgrowth. We expect Pumps and Systems sales to increase slightlyin the mid- to high-single digit range compared to 2016, with modest2020, driven by growth in the U.S. municipal market.markets and military.

At Crane Payment Innovations, we expect core sales growth in the high-single digit range, driven by unfavorable foreign currency translation and a divestiture impact, net of acquisitions. Webroad-based strength across vertical markets following the substantial core sales decline in 2020 attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. At Crane Currency, we expect core sales to improve at CPI, with Merchandising Systems sales decliningincrease in the high-single digit range compared to 2016. At CPI, we expect core sales improvement to be2020 primarily driven by vertical end markets including financial services and gaming, althoughhigher sales to the most significant growth is expected from the retail vertical.

We expect the segment’s operating profit to increase substantially compared to 2016,2020, driven by the impact from the higher core sales and productivity, partially offset by unfavorablevolume, favorable product mix, productivity, carry-over savings primarily associated with COVID-19 related repositioning actions, and unfavorable foreign currency.the absence of restructuring and acquisition-related costs.
Aerospace & Electronics
WeIn 2021, we expect Aerospace & Electronics core sales to decreasedecline in the mid single-digitmid-single digit range compared to 2016. For 2017,2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to depress business and leisure air travel. Accordingly, we expect thata decline in our commercial market conditions will remain generally positive,OEM business driven by lower aircraft build rates, and we expect sales growth froma decline in our commercial original equipment manufacturer business. However, military original equipment sales are expectedaftermarket business given continued lower airline flight hours. We expect a decline in our defense OEM and aftermarket businesses given very challenging comparisons to decline substantially given2020 where these markets exhibited very strong growth. We expect the completion of a large military program in 2016 that will not repeat in 2017. We also expect aftermarket sales to decline, primarily as a result of lower modernization and upgrade sales. Despite the reduction in sales, we expect segmentsegment’s operating profit in 2017 approximately flatto decrease compared to 20162020 driven primarily by favorable product mixthe impact of the lower sales volume, partially offset by carry-over savings associated with COVID-19 related repositioning actions, and the completionabsence of the large military program, strong productivity and lower engineering expense.restructuring related costs.
Engineered Materials
In 2017,2021, we expect the Engineered Materials segment sales willto increase approximately 20% compared to 2020 driven primarily by substantially stronger recreational vehicle industry build rates in response to increasing consumer preference for RV lifestyle and RV vacations, higher trailer industry build rates, and a recovery in certain building products end markets. Segment operating profit and operating margin are expected to increase compared to 2020 driven primarily by the prior year, driven by continued strong demandimpact of product shipments to the recreational vehicle (“RV”) market. Segment operating profit is expected to be approximately flat compared to 2016.higher sales volume.

Sales increased by $1.7$35.6 million, or 0.2%4.5%, to $695.9$833.5 million in 2017.2021. Net sales related to operations outside the United States were 37.8% and 35.3%35.9% of total net sales for the quarters ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and 2016,2020, respectively. The year-over-year change in sales included:
an increase related to a net acquisition/divestiture impact of $7.3 million, or 1.1%;
favorable foreign currency translation of $4.5$25.2 million, or 3.2%.
an increase in core sales of $5.4 million, or 0.7%; and
an increase in sales related to a decrease in core salesbenefit from the January 2020 I&S acquisition of $10.1$5.0 million, or 1.6%.0.6%
Operating profit increased by $1.6$57.8 million, or 1.5%65.2%, to $105.4$146.4 million in 2017.2021. The increase in operating profit reflected the higher operating profit in our Payment & Merchandising Technologies and Fluid Handling and Engineered Materials segments, partially offset by lower operating profit in our Aerospace & Electronics segmentand Engineered Materials segments, and higher corporate costs. Operating profit in the thirdfirst quarter of 20172021 included transactiona net restructuring and related chargesgain of $0.5$11.7 million primarily related to prior repositioning actions. Operating profit in connection with the acquisitionsfirst quarter of Westlock2020 included acquisition-related and Microtronic.integration costs of $5.2 million related to the I&S and Cummins-Allison acquisitions.
Other expense increased $1.0 million, or 12.0%, primarily reflecting higher interest expense resulting from the 364-day credit facility entered into in April 2020.
Our effective tax rate is affected by a number of items, both recurring and discrete, including the amount of income we earn in different jurisdictions and their respective statutory tax rates, acquisitions and dispositions, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in tax laws, regulations and accounting principles, the continued availability of statutory tax credits and deductions, the continued reinvestment of our overseas earnings, and examinations initiated by tax authorities around the world.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 is lower than the prior year’s comparable period primarily due to the favorable effect of share-based compensation, favorable return-to-provision adjustments, and a reduction inhigher tax accruals due to lapses in the statutes of limitation,credit utilization, partially offset by a higher amountlower statutory U.S. deduction related to our non-U.S. subsidiaries’ income.
Our tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is approximately equal to the statutory U.S. federal tax rate of income earned in jurisdictions with higher statutory tax rates.

Sales increased by $5.3 million, or 0.3%, to $2,071.8 million in 2017. Net sales related to operations outside the United States were 36.5% and 36.0% of total net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The year-over-year change in sales included:
an increase in core sales of $17.9 million, or 0.9%;
an increase related to a net acquisition/divestiture impact of $8.6 million, or 0.4%; and
unfavorable foreign currency translation of $21.2 million, or 1.0%.
Operating profit increased by $19.1 million, or 6.5%, to $311.0 million in 2017. The increase in operating profit reflected the2021, primarily reflecting higher operating profit in our Payment & Merchandising Technologies and Engineered Materials segments,material costs, partially offset by lower operating profit in our Aerospace & Electronics and Fluid Handling segments and higher corporate costs. In the nine months ended September 30, 2016, corporate costs included a $5.0 million legal settlement charge. Operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 included transaction related charges of $3.1 million in connection with the acquisitions of Westlock and Microtronic.
Our effective tax rate is affected by a number of items, both recurring and discrete, including the amount of income we earn in different jurisdictions and their respective statutory tax rates, acquisitions and dispositions, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in tax laws, regulations and accounting principles, the continued availability of statutory tax credits and deductions, the continued reinvestment of our overseas earnings, and examinations initiated by tax authorities around the world.

Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is approximately equal to the prior year’s comparable period.

Our operating philosophy is to deploy cash provided byfrom operating activities, when appropriate, to provide value to shareholders by reinvesting in existing businesses, by making acquisitions that will strengthen and complement our portfolio, ofby divesting businesses that are no longer strategic or aligned with our portfolio and where such divestitures can generate capacity for strategic investments and initiatives that further optimize our portfolio, and by paying dividends and/or repurchasing shares. At any given time, and from time to time, we may be evaluating one or more of these opportunities, although we cannot assure you if or when we will consummate any such transaction.
Our current cash balance, together with cash we expect to generate from future operations along with the $500 million available under our Commercial Paper Program (the “CP Program”)commercial paper program or borrowings available under our revolving credit facility is expected to be sufficient to finance our short- and long-term capital requirements, as well as to fund payments associated with our asbestos and environmental liabilities and expected pension contributions. In addition, we believe our investment grade credit ratings afford us adequate access to public and private debt markets. We have no borrowings
In April 2020, to enhance financial flexibility and maintain maximum liquidity in response to the uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we entered into a senior unsecured 364-day credit facility (the “364-Day Credit Agreement”). On April 15, 2021, we repaid the amount outstanding under our CP Program asthe 364-Day Credit Agreement with cash on hand and the issuance of September 30, 2017. There are no other significant debt maturities coming due until December 2018.
In the fourth quarter of 2016, we extended our estimate of the asbestos liability, including the costs of settlement or indemnity payments and defense costs relating to currently pending claims and future claims projected to be filed against us through the generally accepted end point of such claims in 2059. Our estimate of the asbestos liability for pending and future claims through 2059 is based on the projected future asbestos costs resulting from our experience using a range of reference periods for claims filed, settled and dismissed. Based on this estimate, we recorded a $227 million additional liability in the fourth quarter of 2016. The aggregate asbestos liability is $630 million as of September 30, 2017. We continue to monitor trend factors, such as the number and type of claims being filed each year, case management orders and legislation restricting the types of claims that can proceed to trial, significant appellate rulings and developments affecting the post-bankruptcy trusts for asbestos claimants to assess whether a change in the estimate is warranted. On a quarterly basis, we review significant changes to these factors in assessing the adequacy of our asbestos liability. Similarly, we have an estimated liability of $43.1 million related to environmental remediation costs projected through 2022 related to our Goodyear Site.
As of September 30, 2017, our non-U.S. subsidiaries held approximately $529 million of cash, which would be subject to additional tax upon repatriation to the U.S. Our current plans do not anticipate that we will need funds generated from our non-U.S. operations to fund our U.S. operations. In the event we were to repatriate the cash balances of our non-U.S. subsidiaries, we would provide for and pay additional U.S. and non-U.S. taxes in connection with such repatriation.commercial paper.
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $174.2$50.2 million in the first ninethree months of 2017,2021, compared to $168.4cash used for operating activities of $35.5 million during the same period last year.  The increase in cash generated resultedprovided by operating activities was primarily fromdriven by higher net income and lower environmental payments,working capital levels, partially offset by higher working capital requirements, higher defined benefit plan and postretirement plan contributions and higher net asbestos-related payments.pension contributions. Net asbestos-related payments in the first ninethree months of 20172021 and 20162020 were $46.8$10.8 million and $41.5$11.7 million, respectively. WeIn 2021, we expect to make payments related to asbestos settlement and defense costs, net of related insurance recoveries, of approximately $60 million, environmental payments of approximately $13 million and contributions to our defined benefit plans of approximately $12 million in 2017.$45 million.
Investing Activities
Cash flows relating to investing activities consist primarily of cash used for acquisitions, capital expenditures and cash provided by divestitures of businesses or assets andassets. Cash provided by investing activities was $29.6 million in the first three months of 2021, compared to cash used for acquisitions and capital expenditures. Cash used for investing activities was $89.1 million in the first nine months of 2017, compared to $37.7$177.4 million in the comparable period of 2016.2020. The increase in cash used forprovided by investing activities was driven by the absence of cash paid of $58 million for the acquisitionsacquisition of WestlockI&S of $172.0 million, net cash proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $20 million and Microtronic duringproceeds from the first nine monthssale of 2017. This was slightly offset by lower capital expenditures year over year.real estate related to prior repositioning actions. Capital expenditures are made primarily for increasing capacity, replacing equipment, supporting new product development and improving information systems. We expect our capital expenditures to approximate $50of approximately $75 million in 2017, reflecting continued investments in new product development initiatives, primarily in our Aerospace & Electronics, Payment and Merchandising Technologies and Fluid Handling segments.
