Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CIRCOR and its subsidiaries. The results of companies acquired during the year (if any) are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Some of the more significant estimates relate to acquisition accounting, inventory valuation, depreciation, share-based compensation, amortization and impairment of long-lived assets, pension obligations, income taxes, penalty accruals for late shipments, asset valuations, environmental liability, and product liability. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Fair Value

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value and includes a framework for measuring fair value and disclosing fair value measurements in financial statements. Fair value is a market-based measurement rather than an entity-specific measurement. The fair value hierarchy makes a distinction between assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). This fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). We utilize fair value measurements for forward currency contracts, guarantee and indemnification obligations, pension plan assets, and certain intangible assets.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when products are delivered, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, no significant post delivery obligations remain, the price to the buyers is fixed or determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. We have limited long-term arrangements, representing less than 1% of our revenue, requiring delivery of products or services over extended periods of time and revenue and profits on certain of these arrangements are recognized in accordance with the percentage of completion method of accounting. Shipping and handling costs invoiced to customers are recorded as components of revenues and the associated costs are recorded as cost of revenues.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue primarily reflects the costs of manufacturing and preparing products for sale and, to a much lesser extent, the costs of performing services. Cost of revenue is primarily comprised of the cost of materials, inbound freight, production, direct labor and overhead, which are expenses that directly result from the level of production activity at the manufacturing plant. Additional expenses that directly result from the level of production activity at the manufacturing plant include: purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, internal transfer costs, utility expenses, property taxes, depreciation of production building and equipment assets, salaries and benefits paid to plant manufacturing management and maintenance supplies.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-term Investments

Cash and cash equivalents consist of amounts on deposit in checking and savings accounts with banks and other financial institutions. In 2013 and 2012, short-term investments primarily consist of guaranteed investment certificates. As of December 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents totaled $102.2 million, substantially all of which was held in foreign bank accounts. This compares to $61.7 million of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012, of which substantially all was held in foreign bank accounts. Short-term investments as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 totaled $0.1 million, all of which is held in foreign bank accounts.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is generally determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. Where appropriate, standard cost systems are utilized for purposes of determining cost; the standards are adjusted as necessary to ensure they approximate actual cost. Estimates for obsolescence or slow moving inventory are maintained based on current economic conditions, historical sales quantities and patterns and, in some cases, the risk of loss on specifically identified inventories. Such inventories are recorded at estimated realizable value net of the cost of disposal.

Penalty Accruals

Certain customer agreements, primarily in our project related businesses and large aerospace programs, contain late shipment penalty clauses whereby we are contractually obligated to pay consideration to our customers if we do not meet specified shipment dates. The accrual for estimated penalties is shown as a reduction of revenue and is based on several factors including historical customer settlement experience and management’s assessment of specific shipment delay information. Accruals related to these potential late shipment penalties as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $10.3 million and $8.6 million, respectively. As we conclude performance under these agreements, the actual amount of consideration paid to our customers may vary from the amounts we currently have accrued.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is generally provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which typically range from 3 to 50 years for buildings and improvements, 3 to 10 years for manufacturing machinery and equipment, computer equipment and software, and furniture and fixtures. Motor vehicles are depreciated over a range of 2 to 6 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company reports depreciation of property, plant and equipment in cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses based on the nature of the underlying assets. Depreciation primarily related to the production of inventory is recorded in cost of revenue. Depreciation related to selling and administrative functions is reported in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Business Acquisitions

ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, provides guidance regarding business combinations and requires acquisition-date fair value measurement of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For more detailed information, refer to Note 3, Business Acquisitions.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, we utilize each of our operating segments as our goodwill reporting units as we have discrete financial information that is regularly reviewed by operating segment management and the businesses within each segment have similar economic characteristics. For the year-ended December 31, 2013, the Company’s two reporting units were Energy and Aerospace & Defense with respective goodwill balances of $52.9 million and $22.9 million.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the cost of acquisition over the sum of the amounts assigned to identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Goodwill and intangible assets are recorded at cost; intangible assets with definitive lives are amortized over their useful lives. For goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, we perform an impairment assessment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis as of the end of our October month end or more frequently if circumstances warrant. Our annual impairment assessment is a two-step process. The first step requires a comparison of the implied fair value of each of our reporting units to the respective carrying value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit is higher than its fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and the second step of the evaluation must be performed. In the second step, the potential impairment is calculated by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of the goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss will be recognized for the excess.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is subjective and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions. With the assistance of an independent third-party appraisal firm, we estimate the fair value of our reporting units using an income approach based on the present value of future cash flows. We believe this approach yields the most appropriate evidence of fair value. We also utilize the comparable company multiples method and market transaction fair value method to validate the fair value amount we obtain using the income approach. The key assumptions utilized in our discounted cash flow model include our estimates of future cash flows from operating activities offset by estimated capital expenditures of the reporting unit, the estimated terminal value for each reporting unit, a discount rate based on a weighted average cost of capital, overall economic conditions, and our assessment of our current market capitalization. Any unfavorable material changes to these key assumptions could potentially impact our fair value determinations. As discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K regarding risks and other factors that may cause our results to vary materially, some of our end markets are cyclical and we face significant competition. As such, we may experience fluctuations in revenues and operating results resulting in the non-achievement of our estimated growth rates, operating performance and working capital estimates utilized in our discounted cash flow models.

In fiscal year 2013 when we performed our step one analysis, the fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded the respective carrying amount, and no goodwill impairments were recorded. The fair values utilized for our 2013 goodwill assessment exceeded the carrying amounts by approximately 283% and 95% for our Energy and Aerospace & Defense reporting units, respectively. The growth rate assumptions utilized were consistent with growth rates within the markets that we serve. Actual 2013 results were substantially consistent overall with estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our goodwill impairment analysis performed in October. If our results significantly vary from our estimates, related projections, or business assumptions in the future due to changes in industry or market conditions, we may be required to record impairment charges. By way of example, a 10% reduction in our Aerospace & Defense reporting unit projected cash flows would not result in the fair value being lower than the carrying value.

The goodwill recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 was $75.9 million compared with $77.4 million as of December 31, 2012 with the only change being due to foreign currency fluctuations. Net intangible assets as of December 31, 2013 were $35.7 million compared to $45.2 million as of December 31, 2012. The total net amount of non-amortizing assets was $17.0 million and $23.6 million, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as trade names, are generally recorded and valued in connection with a business acquisition. These assets are reviewed at least annually for impairment, or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant. We also utilized a fair value calculation to evaluate these intangibles.

Impairment of Other Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, Plant, Property, and Equipment, we perform impairment analyses of our other long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, whenever events and circumstances indicate that they may be impaired. When the undiscounted future cash flows are expected to be less than the carrying value of identified asset groupings being reviewed for impairment, the asset groupings are written to fair value.

See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for further information on impairment of other long-lived assets.

Advertising Costs

Our accounting policy is to expense advertising costs, principally in selling, general and administrative expenses, when incurred. Our advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $2.1 million, $3.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

Research and Development

Research and development expenditures are expensed when incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Our research and development expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $6.5 million, $8.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if we anticipate that it is more likely than not that we may not realize some or all of a deferred tax asset.

For our Dutch operating subsidiary undistributed earnings are generally not considered to be indefinitely reinvested, and because our effective tax rate in the Netherlands is higher than the current U.S. tax rates, no additional provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes is needed. The undistributed earnings of our other foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been recorded.

In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, the Company initially recognizes the financial statement effect of a tax position when, based solely on its technical merits, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of greater than fifty percent) that the position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. Those tax positions failing to qualify for initial recognition are recognized in the first interim period in which they meet the more likely than not standard, are resolved through negotiation or litigation with the taxing authority, or upon expiration of the statute of limitations. De-recognition of a tax position that was previously recognized occurs when an entity subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more likely than not threshold of being sustained.

Under ASC Topic 740, only the portion of the liability that is expected to be paid within one year is classified as a current liability. As a result, liabilities expected to be resolved without the payment of cash (e.g., due to the expiration of the statute of limitations) or are not expected to be paid within one year are classified as non-current. It is the Company’s policy to record estimated interest and penalties as income tax expense and tax credits as a reduction in income tax expense.

Environmental Compliance and Remediation

Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to existing conditions caused by past operations, which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, estimated costs are based upon current laws and regulations, existing technology and the most probable method of remediation.

Foreign Currency Translation

Our international subsidiaries operate and report their financial results using local functional currencies. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of the relevant periods, and revenues and costs are translated using weighted average exchange rates for the relevant periods. The resulting translation adjustments are presented as a separate component of other comprehensive income. We do not provide for U.S. income taxes on foreign currency translation adjustments since we do not generally provide for such taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Our net foreign exchange losses recorded for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $1.8 million, $0.5 million, and $2.2 million, respectively.

Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income by the number of weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding and assumes the conversion of all dilutive securities when the effects of such conversion would not be anti-dilutive.

Earnings per common share and the weighted average number of shares used to compute net earnings per common share, basic and assuming full dilution, are reconciled below (in thousands, except per share data):

Certain stock options to purchase common shares and restricted stock units (RSUs) were anti-dilutive. There were 23,390 anti-dilutive options and RSUs for the year ended December 31, 2013 with exercise prices ranging from $29.37 to $79.33. There were 279,075 anti-dilutive options and RSUs for the year ended December 31, 2012 with exercise prices ranging from $29.37 to $60.83. There were 173,771 anti-dilutive options and RSUs for the year ended December 31, 2011 with exercise prices ranging from $30.91 to $60.83.

As of December 31, 2013, there were no outstanding restricted stock units that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividend equivalents and are considered participating securities that are included in our computation of basic and fully diluted earnings per share. There is no difference in the earnings per share amounts between the two class method and the treasury stock method, which is why we continue to use the treasury stock method.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations including foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. The Company currently uses derivative instruments to manage foreign currency risk on certain business transactions denominated in foreign currencies. To the extent the underlying transactions hedged are completed, these forward contracts do not subject us to significant risk from exchange rate movements because they offset gains and losses on the related foreign currency denominated transactions. These forward contracts do not qualify as hedging instruments and, therefore, do not qualify for fair value or cash flow hedge treatment. Any unrealized gains and losses on our contracts are recognized as a component of other expense in our consolidated statements of income.

Pension Benefits

Pension obligations and other post-retirement benefits are actuarially determined and are affected by several assumptions including the discount rate and projected annual rates of return on plan assets. Changes in discount rate and differences from actual results will affect the amounts of pension and other post-retirement expense recognized in future periods. These assumptions may also have an effect on the amount and timing of future cash contributions. The Company recognizes the over-funded or under-funded status of defined benefit post-retirement plans in its balance sheet, measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation (the projected benefit obligation for pension plans and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for other post-retirement plans). The change in the funded status of the plan is recognized in the year in which the change occurs through other comprehensive income. These provisions also require plan assets and obligations to be measured as of the Company’s balance sheet date.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation costs are based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, and these costs are recognized over the requisite vesting period. For all of our non-market condition stock option grants, the fair value of each grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Black-Scholes utilizes assumptions related to volatility, the risk-free interest rate, the dividend yield and employee exercise behavior. Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based on the historic volatility of the Company’s stock price. The risk free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury Yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The model incorporates exercise and post-vesting forfeiture assumptions based on an analysis of historical data.

Market condition stock option awards are not granted under the Company's 1999 Stock Plan and include both a service period and a market performance vesting condition. The stock options vest if certain stock price targets are met based on the stock price closing at or above 60 consecutive trading days. Vested options may be exercised 25% at the time of vesting, 50% one year from the date of vesting and 100% two years from the date of vesting. These market condition stock option awards are being expensed utilizing a graded method and are subject to forfeiture in the event of employment termination (whether voluntary or involuntary) prior to vesting. To the extent that the market conditions above (stock price targets) are not met, those options will not vest and will forfeit 5 years from grant date. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation option pricing model to value these option awards.

See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for further information on share-based compensation.

Subsequent events

The Company evaluated the December 31, 2013 financial statements for subsequent events through the date that the financial statements were available to be issued and noted no material events requiring either recognition as of December 31, 2013 or disclosure herein, other than noted below.

During the third quarter of 2011, we commenced arbitration proceedings against T.M.W. Corporation (“TMW”), the seller from which we acquired the assets of Castle Precision Industries in August 2010, seeking to recover damages from TMW for breaches of certain representations and warranties made by TMW in the Asset Purchase Agreement dated August 3, 2010 relative to such acquisition. On January 24, 2014 we reached a settlement on the TMW arbitration where it was agreed that TMW would waive all rights to amounts due from us under a contingent consideration promissory note established at the time of acquisition, resulting in a gain of approximately $2.2 million during the first quarter of 2014.

	Business Acquisitions and Divestitures
	Our growth strategy includes strategic acquisitions that complement and extend our broad array of valves and fluid control products and services. Our acquisitions typically have well established brand recognition and are well known within the industry. We have historically financed our acquisitions from available cash or credit lines.
	On February 4, 2011, we acquired the stock of Valvulas S.F. Industria e Comercio Ltda. (“SF Valves”), a Sao Paulo, Brazil based manufacturer of valves for the energy market. SF Valves is reported in our Energy segment. We placed approximately $9.0 million in an escrow account to secure certain indemnification and purchase price obligations of the seller. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of $14.0 million was recorded as goodwill and will not be deductible for Brazilian tax purposes.
	The following table reflects the balance sheet line item estimated fair values recorded in connection with the acquisition of SF Valves as of its respective acquisition date (in millions):
		SF Valves
	Current assets	$	4.3

	Special Charges
	During the third quarter of 2012 we announced restructuring actions in the Energy and Aerospace & Defense segments including actions to consolidate facilities, shift expenses to lower cost regions, and exited some non-strategic product lines ("2012 Announced Restructuring").
	During the fourth quarter of 2012 we recorded special charges of $2.7 million associated with the separation of our Chief Executive Officer. These charges primarily related to one time cash payments, equity award modification charges as well as executive search fees ("CEO Separation").
	On July 12, 2013 we reached a settlement associated with arbitration in connection with an Energy segment business and received a refund of a portion of the purchase price which resulted in a gain of approximately $3.2 million during the third quarter of 2013. This gain was recorded as a special recovery during the third quarter of 2013 ("Energy Settlement").
	On August 1, 2013 and October 31, 2013 we announced additional restructuring actions associated with our Energy and Aerospace & Defense segments under which we will simplify the manner in which we manage our businesses ("2013 Announced Restructuring"). Under these restructurings we will consolidate facilities, shift expenses to lower cost regions, exit certain non-strategic product lines, and also consolidate our group structure from three groups to two, reducing management layers and administrative expenses.
	In addition during 2013 we announced that our Chief Financial Officer would be retiring and recorded special charges of $1.1 million primarily related to one time cash payments and equity award modifications (“CFO retirement”).
	During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 we incurred $8.6 million of special charges, net of recoveries, associated with the 2012 Announced Restructuring, 2013 Announced Restructuring, Energy Settlement, and CFO retirement. The following table summarizes our special charges by type and business segment (in thousands):

	Total restructuring related special charges - incurred to date	$	3,355		$	3,822	$	—	$	7,177
	Also, in connection with the 2012 Announced Restructuring special charges noted above, we recorded $1.2 million and $3.6 million of restructuring related inventory obsolescence charges since the third quarter of 2012 for the Energy and Aerospace & Defense segments, respectively.
	We do not anticipate any additional special charges to be incurred associated with the 2012 Announced Restructurings.
	The following table summarizes our 2013 Announced Restructuring related special charges incurred during the twelve months of 2013. Charges with this action began in the third quarter of 2013.

	Total restructuring related special charges - incurred to date	$	4,088		$	1,893	$	—	$	5,981
	Additional special charges that we expect to be recorded with the 2013 Announced Restructuring actions are included in the projected amounts below.
	We expect to incur additional restructuring related special charges between $2.9 million and $3.2 million that are primarily facility and employee related during 2014 (between $2.6 million and $2.9 million for the Energy segment and $0.3 million for the Aerospace & Defense segment) to complete these restructuring actions. These restructuring activities are expected to be funded with cash generated from operations. These expected 2014 restructuring related special charges will be offset by the TMW settlement which will be recorded as a special recovery of $2.2 million during the first quarter of 2014.

	In 2013, the fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded the respective carrying value, and no goodwill impairments were recorded. The fair values utilized for our 2013 goodwill assessment, which were assessed as of the end of October, exceeded the carrying value by approximately 283% and 95% for the Energy and Aerospace & Defense reporting units, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we did not record any goodwill impairment charges. We again assessed the goodwill factors as of December 31, 2013 and determined there were no indications of impairments.
	The annual impairment testing over our non-amortizing intangible assets is also completed as of the end of October and consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible assets with carrying amounts.
	During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, in connection with a change to our organizational structure to simplify the way the Company is managed as well as other evolving business factors, we discontinued use of certain Aerospace & Defense trade names that we determined had no future economic life and should be impaired. This resulted in Aerospace & Defense segment intangible asset impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2013 of $6.9 million, included in the impairment charges line on our consolidated statements of income. The recording of this impairment charge and ongoing new program startup costs were indicators of potential impairment that triggered impairment analysis of the long-lived and intangible assets of our California Aerospace & Defense operations. We performed an ASC 360, Plant, Property, and Equipment, impairment analyses for our California operations as part of our fourth quarter closing process, which resulted in no additional asset impairment charges as the fair value of the California operations exceeded the carrying value.
	During the year ended December 31, 2012 we recorded intangible asset impairment charges of $2.2 million and $8.2 million for the Energy and Aerospace & Defense segments, respectively. These impairment charges were primarily a result of restructuring activities at operations in Brazil and California.

	Actual income taxes reported from operations are different from those that would have been computed by applying the federal statutory tax rate to income before income taxes. The reasons for these differences are as follows:

	Other, net	1.5			(1.0	)		(0.8	)
	Effective tax rate	26.4	%		26.2	%		27	%
	With regard to the deferred tax assets, we maintained a total valuation allowance of $13.9 million and $13.5 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We had foreign tax credits of $17.7 million, foreign net operating losses of $15.1 million, state net operating losses of $69.7 million and state tax credits of $1.8 million at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2012, we had foreign tax credits of $20.7 million, foreign net operating losses of $22.0 million, state net operating losses of $69.1 million and state tax credits of $1.5 million. The foreign tax credits, if not utilized, will expire partially in 2015 and the remainder in 2021. The state net operating losses and state tax credits, if not utilized, will expire between 2014 and 2033. The $13.9 million valuation allowance as of December 31, 2013 is comprised of $5.7 million related to foreign credit carry-forwards, $5.0 million related to foreign deferred tax assets and $3.2 million related to state income tax benefits.
	The valuation allowance on foreign tax credits is $5.7 million in 2013 which is a reduction of $1.0 million from 2012 as a result of a projected increase in foreign source income. The valuation allowance is based on estimates of taxable income in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be recoverable.
	If market conditions improve and future results of operations exceed our current expectations, our existing tax valuation allowances may be adjusted, resulting in future tax benefits. Alternatively, if market conditions deteriorate or future results of operations are less than expected, future assessments may result in a determination that some or all of the deferred tax assets are not realizable. Consequently, we may need to establish additional tax valuation allowances for a portion or all of the gross deferred tax assets, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. The Company has had a history of domestic and foreign taxable income, is able to avail itself of federal tax carryback provisions, has future taxable temporary differences and is forecasting future domestic and foreign taxable income. We believe that after considering all of the available objective evidence, it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income for the Company to realize the remaining net deferred tax assets.
On January 2, 2013, the President of the United States signed legislation that retroactively extended the research and development (R&D) tax credit for two years, from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013. Accordingly, the Company recorded the entire benefit of the R&D tax credit attributable to 2012 during 2013.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, state and local jurisdictions and in foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years prior to 2010 and is no longer subject to examination by the tax authorities in foreign and state jurisdictions prior to 2006. The Company is currently under examination for income tax filings in the US and foreign jurisdictions.
As of December 31, 2013, the liability for uncertain income tax positions was $1.6 million excluding interest of $0.7 million. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, accrued interest and penalties were $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Due to the high degree of uncertainty regarding the timing of potential future cash flows associated with these liabilities, we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period in which these liabilities might be paid.
The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands). Approximately $0.9 million as of December 31, 2013 represents the amount that if recognized would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in future periods. The table below does not include interest and penalties of $0.7 million and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries amounted to $177.1 million at December 31, 2013 and $138.6 million at December 31, 2012. During our fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we repatriated no cash to the U.S, except as noted below.
For our Dutch operating subsidiary undistributed earnings are not considered to be indefinitely reinvested and because our effective tax rate in the Netherlands is higher than the current U.S. tax rates, no additional provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes is needed. The undistributed earnings of our other foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been recorded. During 2013, we repatriated $2.0 million from our Dutch operations subsidiary.

	On May 2, 2011, we entered into a five year unsecured credit agreement (“2011 Credit Agreement”) that provides for a $300.0 million revolving line of credit. The 2011 Credit Agreement includes a $150.0 million accordion feature for a maximum facility size of $450.0 million. The 2011 Credit Agreement also allows for additional indebtedness not to exceed $80.0 million. We anticipate using the 2011 Credit Agreement to fund potential acquisitions, to support our organic growth initiatives and working capital needs, and for general corporate purposes. We capitalized $2.0 million in debt issuance costs that will be amortized over the five year life of the agreement. As of December 31, 2013, we had borrowings of $42.4 million of which $41.8 million was outstanding under our 2011 credit agreement.
	Certain of our loan agreements contain covenants that require, among other items, maintenance of certain financial ratios and also limit our ability to: enter into secured and unsecured borrowing arrangements; issue dividends to shareholders; acquire and dispose of businesses; transfer assets among domestic and international entities; participate in certain higher yielding long-term investment vehicles; and issue additional shares of our stock.

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]	'
Share-Based Compensation	'
	Share-Based Compensation
	As of December 31, 2013, we have one share-based compensation plan. The Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “1999 Stock Plan”), which was adopted by our Board of Directors and approved by our shareholders, permits the grant of the following types of awards to our officers, other employees and non-employee directors: incentive stock options; non-qualified stock options; deferred stock awards; restricted stock awards; unrestricted stock awards; performance share awards; cash-based awards; stock appreciation rights and dividend equivalent rights. The 1999 Stock Plan provides for the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar events). New options granted under the 1999 Stock Plan could have varying vesting provisions and exercise periods. Options granted vest in periods ranging from one to five years and expire 10 years after the grant date. Restricted stock units granted generally vest from two to six years. Vested restricted stock units will be settled in shares of our common stock. As of December 31, 2013, there were 355,081 stock options (including the CEO and CFO stock option awards noted below) and 238,980 restricted stock units outstanding. In addition, there were 456,857 shares available for grant under the 1999 Stock Plan as of December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, there were no outstanding restricted stock units that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividend equivalents and are considered participating securities that are included in our computation of basic and fully diluted earnings per share. There is no difference in the earnings per share amounts between the two class method and the treasury stock method, which is why we continue to use the treasury stock method.
	For all of our stock options granted prior to 2013, the fair value of each grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Black-Scholes utilizes assumptions related to volatility, the risk-free interest rate and the dividend yield and employee exercise behavior. Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based on the historic volatility of the Company’s stock price. The risk free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury Yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.
	In 2013, we granted 300,000 stock option awards compared with 68,943 in 2012 and 64,755 in 2011. On April 9, 2013, the Company granted stock options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock to its newly appointed President and Chief Executive Officer at an exercise price of $41.17 per share ("CEO Option Award"). On December 2, 2013, the Company granted stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock to its newly appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at an exercise price of $79.33 per share ("CFO Option Award"). Both of these option awards were granted outside of the Company's 1999 Stock Plan and include both a service period and a market performance vesting condition. The stock options will vest if the following stock price targets are met based on the stock price closing at or above these targets for 60 consecutive trading days:
	CEO Option Award
	Stock Price Target	Cumulative Vested Portion of Stock Options (in Shares)
	$50.00	50,000
	$60.00	100,000
	$70.00	150,000
	$80.00	200,000
	CFO Option Award
	Stock Price Target	Cumulative Vested Portion of Stock Options (in Shares)
	$87.50	25,000
	$100.00	50,000
	$112.50	75,000
	$125.00	100,000
	Vested options for both of these awards may be exercised 25% at the time of vesting, 50% one year from the date of vesting and 100% two years from the date of vesting. On August 8, 2013, the $50.00 Stock Price Target for the CEO option award was met, therefore, 50,000 options have vested and 12,500 are currently exercisable. These stock option awards are being expensed utilizing a graded method and are subject to forfeiture in the event of employment termination (whether voluntary or involuntary) prior to vesting. Both option awards have a 10 year term but to the extent that the market conditions above (Stock Price Targets) are not met, these options will not vest and will forfeit 5 years from grant date. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation option pricing model to fair value these option awards.
	The fair value of stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2013 of $20.15 was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:
	Risk-free interest rate	1.5	%
	Expected life (years)	3.2
	Expected stock volatility	41.1	%
	Expected dividend yield	0.3	%
	We account for Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) Awards by expensing the grant date fair value to selling, general and administrative expenses ratably over vesting periods ranging from two to six years. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 we granted 154,235 and 142,338 RSU Awards with approximate fair values of $47.50 and $33.78 per RSU Award, respectively. Of the 154,235 RSU Awards granted during 2013, 18,908 were not granted under the Company's 1999 Stock Plan. During 2012 and 2013, the Company granted performance-based RSUs as part of the overall mix of RSU Awards. These performance-based RSUs include metrics for achieving Return on Invested Capital and Adjusted Operating Margin with target payouts ranging from 0% to 200%. Of the 154,235 RSUs granted during 2013, 35,329 are performance-based RSU awards. This compares to 30,705 performance-based RSU awards granted in 2012.
	The CIRCOR Management Stock Purchase Plan, which is a component of the 1999 Stock Plan, provides that eligible employees may elect to receive restricted stock units in lieu of all or a portion of their pre-tax annual incentive bonus and, in some cases, make after-tax contributions in exchange for restricted stock units (“RSU MSPs”). In addition, non-employee directors may elect to receive restricted stock units in lieu of all or a portion of their annual directors’ fees. Each RSU MSP represents a right to receive one share of our common stock after a three-year vesting period. RSU MSPs are granted at a discount of 33% from the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date of grant. This discount is amortized as compensation expense, to selling, general and administrative expenses, over a four-year period. RSU MSPs totaling 28,463 and 34,534 with per unit discount amounts representing fair values of $13.90 and $10.81 were granted under the CIRCOR Management Stock Purchase Plan during December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
	Compensation expense related to our share-based plans for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $5.2 million of which $4.7 million was recorded as selling, general, and administrative expense and $0.5 million was recorded as special charges in our statement of income. The special charge portion was related to the separation of our previous CFO. Compensation expense for 2012 and 2011 was $4.4 million and $3.8 million respectively, and was recorded as selling, general and administrative expense.
	As of December 31, 2013, there was $12.2 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to our outstanding share-based compensation arrangements. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years. This compares to $4.8 million for both 2012 and 2011, respectively. The year over year increase in total unrecognized compensation costs relates to the equity awards for the newly appointed CEO and CFO of $3.0 million and $4.4 million, respectively.
	A summary of the status of all stock options granted to employees and non-employee directors as of December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 and changes during the years are presented in the table below:

While not included in the share-based compensation tables above, the Company also grants Cash Settled Stock Unit Awards to its international participants. These Cash Settled Stock Unit Awards typically cliff-vest in three years and are settled in cash based on the Company's closing stock price at the time of vesting. As of December 31, 2013, there were 40,330 Cash Settled Stock Unit Awards outstanding compared with 51,647 Cash Settled Stock Unit Awards as of December 31, 2012. During 2013, the aggregate cash used to settle Cash Settled Stock Unit Awards was $1.1 million. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $1.7 million in accrued expenses and current liabilities for Cash Settled Stock Unit Awards compared with $1.4 million as of December 31, 2012. Cash Settled Stock Unit related compensation costs for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 totaled $1.5 million, $0.3 million, and $0.5 million, respectively and was recorded as selling, general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of income.

	Concentrations of Risk
	Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and trade receivables. A significant portion of our revenue and receivables are from customers who are either in or service the energy, aerospace, defense and industrial markets. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain allowances for potential credit losses. During 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company has not experienced any significant losses related to the collection of our accounts receivable. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we had no customers from which we derive revenues that exceed the threshold of 5% of the Company’s consolidated revenues.

General Discussion of Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits [Abstract]	'
Employee Benefit Plans	'
	Employee Benefit Plans
	We maintain two pension benefit plans, a qualified noncontributory defined benefit plan and a nonqualified, noncontributory defined benefit supplemental plan that provides benefits to certain retired highly compensated officers and employees. To date, the supplemental plan remains an unfunded plan. These plans include significant pension benefit obligations which are calculated based on actuarial valuations. Key assumptions are made in determining these obligations and related expenses, including expected rates of return on plan assets and discount rates. Benefits are based primarily on years of service and employees’ compensation.
	As of July 1, 2006, in connection with a revision to our retirement plan, we froze the pension benefits of our qualified noncontributory plan participants. Under the revised plan, such participants generally do not accrue any additional benefits under the defined benefit plan after July 1, 2006.
	During 2013, we made $1.6 million in cash contributions to our qualified defined benefit pension plan, in addition to $0.4 million in payments for our non-qualified supplemental plan. In 2014, we expect to make cash contributions of approximately $1.6 million to our qualified plan and payments of $0.4 million for our non-qualified plan. Contributions to the qualified plan may differ based on a re-assessment of this plan’s funded status during 2014 based on separate IRS cash funding calculations. Capital market and interest rate fluctuations will also impact future funding requirements.
	Additionally, substantially all of our U.S. employees are eligible to participate in a 401(k) savings plan. Under this plan, we make a Company contribution and match a specified percentage of employee contributions, subject to certain limitations.
	The components of net benefit expense for the benefit plans are as follows (in thousands):
		Year Ended December 31,

	Service cost-benefits earned (1)	$	—			$	—			$	430

	The weighted average assumptions used in determining the net periodic benefit cost and benefit obligations and net benefit cost for the pension plans are shown below:
		Year Ended December 31,
		2013			2012			2011
	Net periodic benefit cost:
	Discount rate – qualified plan	4.7	%		3.85	%		5.5	%
	Discount rate – nonqualified plan	4.3	%		3.35	%		5.25	%
	Expected return on plan assets	7	%		7	%		8	%
	Rate of compensation increase	N/A			N/A			N/A
	Benefit obligations:
	Discount rate – qualified plan	4.7	%		3.85	%		4.5	%
	Discount rate – nonqualified plan	4.3	%		3.35	%		4.25	%
	Rate of compensation increase – nonqualified plan	N/A			N/A			N/A
	Rate of compensation increase – qualified plan	N/A			N/A			N/A
	The amounts reported for net periodic pension cost and the respective benefit obligation amounts are dependent upon the actuarial assumptions used. The Company reviews historical trends, future expectations, current market conditions, and external data to determine the assumptions. The actuarial assumptions used to determine the net periodic pension cost are based upon the prior year’s assumptions used to determine the benefit obligation.
	We derive our discount rate utilizing a commonly known pension discount curve, discounting future projected benefit obligation cash flows to arrive at a single equivalent rate. For fiscal year end 2013 benefit obligations, we utilized a weighted average basis given the level of yield on high-quality corporate bond interest rates at fiscal year-end 2013. The effect of the discount rate change lowered our projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2013 by approximately $5.0 million and will have an insignificant impact on our 2014 pension expense.
	In selecting the expected long-term rate of return on assets for the qualified plan, we considered the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits of these plans. This included considering the pension asset allocation and the expected returns likely to be earned over the life of the plans.

The Company’s pension plan assets are measured at fair value. For pension assets, fair value is principally determined using a market approach based on quoted prices or other relevant information from observable market transactions involving identical or comparable assets.
All assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 are classified as Level 1 and are comprised of mutual funds held and are traded on the open market where quoted prices are determinable and available daily. The investments are valued using a market approach based on prices obtained from the primary or secondary exchanges on which they are traded.
Our investment objectives for the portfolio of the plans’ assets are to approximate the return of a composite benchmark comprised of 50% of the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, 15% of the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index, 5% of the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index, 5% of the Absolute Return Index, and 25% of the Russell 1000 Index. We also seek to maintain a level of volatility (measured as standard deviation of returns) which approximates that of the composite benchmark returns. Realigning among asset classes will occur periodically as global markets change. Portfolio diversification provides protection against a single security or class of securities having a disproportionate impact on aggregate performance. We do not invest our pension assets directly in CIRCOR common stock. The long-term target allocations for plan assets are 55% in equities and 45% in fixed income, although the actual plan asset allocations may be within a range around these targets.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Contingencies, Commitments And Guarantees	'
	Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees
	During the third quarter of 2011, we commenced arbitration proceedings against T.M.W. Corporation (“TMW”), the seller from which we acquired the assets of Castle Precision Industries in August 2010, seeking to recover damages from TMW for breaches of certain representations and warranties made by TMW in the Asset Purchase Agreement dated August 3, 2010 relative to such acquisition. On January 24, 2014 we reached a settlement on the TMW arbitration where it was agreed that TMW would waive all rights to amounts due from us under a contingent consideration promissory note established at the time of acquisition, resulting in a gain of approximately $2.2 million during the first quarter of 2014.
	In late 2013 our former parent, Watts Water Technologies, Inc. (“Watts”), notified us of a claim in the approximate aggregate amount of $4.2 million.  In its claim Watts contends, pursuant to the Distribution Agreement dated October 1, 1999 which governed the spinoff of CIRCOR from Watts, that we are partially responsible for retrospective insurance premium adjustments and deductibles paid by Watts to insurers under certain legacy insurance policies that covered both Watts and CIRCOR subsidiaries prior to our 1999 spinoff. The claim also includes both interest paid to insurers as well as attorneys’ fees spent by Watts in disputing its contractual obligations. We are vigorously contesting this claim and believe that any resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
	Asbestos-related product liability claims continue to be filed against two of our subsidiaries-Spence Engineering Company, Inc. (“Spence”), the stock of which we acquired in 1984; and Circor Instrumentation Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a Hoke Incorporated) (“Hoke”), the stock of which we acquired in 1998. Due to the nature of the products supplied by these entities, the markets they serve and our historical experience in resolving these claims, we do not believe that these asbestos-related claims will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of Spence or Hoke, or our financial condition, consolidated results of operations or liquidity of the Company.
	We are currently involved in various other legal claims and legal proceedings, some of which may involve substantial dollar amounts. Periodically, we review the status of each significant matter and assess our potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether an exposure can be reasonably estimated. Because of uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability related to our pending claims and litigation and may revise our estimates. Such revisions in the estimates of the potential liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.
	Standby Letters of Credit
	We execute standby letters of credit, which include bid bonds and performance bonds, in the normal course of business to ensure our performance or payments to third parties. The aggregate notional value of these instruments was $42.4 million at December 31, 2013. Our historical experience with these types of instruments has been good and no claims have been paid in the current or past four fiscal years. We believe that the likelihood of demand for payments relating to the outstanding instruments is remote. These instruments generally have expiration dates ranging from less than 1 month to 5 years from December 31, 2013.
	The following table contains information related to standby letters of credit instruments outstanding as of December 31, 2013 (in thousands):
	Term Remaining	Maximum Potential
		Future Payments
	0–12 months	$	31,441
	Greater than 12 months	10,971
	Total	$	42,412
	Operating Lease Commitments
	Rental expense under operating lease commitments amounted to: $7.4 million, $7.8 million and $7.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Minimum rental commitments due under non-cancelable operating leases, primarily for office and warehouse facilities were as follows at December 31, 2013 (in thousands):
		2014		2015		2016		2017		2018		Thereafter
	Minimum lease commitments	$	6,594	$	5,477	$	5,045	$	3,083	$	2,546	$	3,585
	Commercial Contract Commitment
	As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately $92.1 million of commercial contract commitments related to open purchase orders. In addition, we had $1.5 million of commitments associated primarily with certain loans.
	Insurance
	We maintain insurance coverage of a type and with such limits as we believe are customary and reasonable for the risks we face and in the industries in which we operate. While many of our policies do contain a deductible, the amount of such deductible is typically not material, and is generally less than $0.3 million per occurrence. Our accruals for insured liabilities are not discounted and take into account these deductibles and are based on claims filed and reported as well as estimates of claims incurred but not yet reported.

Guarantees And Indemnification Obligations [Abstract]	'
Guarantees And Indemnification Obligations	'
	Guarantees and Indemnification obligations
	As permitted under Delaware law, we have agreements whereby we indemnify certain of our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for the officer’s or director’s lifetime. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. However, we have directors and officers’ liability insurance policies that limit our exposure for events covered under the policies and should enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of the coverage under these insurance policies, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal and, therefore, have no liabilities recorded from those agreements as of December 31, 2013.
	We record provisions for the estimated cost of product warranties, primarily from historical information, at the time product revenue is recognized. While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, utilization levels, material usage, service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure, and supplier warranties on parts delivered to us. Should actual product failure rates, utilization levels, material usage, service delivery costs or supplier warranties on parts differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. Our warranty liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.
	The following table sets forth information related to our product warranty reserves for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):
		December 31,

Fair Value	'
	Fair Value
	Financial Instruments
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. Short-term investments (principally guaranteed investment certificates) are carried at cost which approximates fair value at the balance sheet date. The fair value of our variable rate debt approximates its carrying amount.
	Foreign Currency Contracts
	The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations including foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. The Company currently uses derivative instruments to manage foreign currency risk on certain business transactions denominated in foreign currencies. To the extent the underlying transactions hedged are completed, these forward contracts do not subject us to significant risk from exchange rate movements because they offset gains and losses on the related foreign currency denominated transactions. These forward contracts do not qualify as hedging instruments and, therefore, do not qualify for fair value or cash flow hedge treatment. Any unrealized gains and losses on our contracts are recognized as a component of other expense in our consolidated statements of income.
	As of December 31, 2013, we had fourteen forward contracts with amounts as follows (in thousands):
	Currency	Number	Contract Amount
	U.S. Dollar/Euro	9	3,104	U.S. Dollars
	Brazilian Real/Euro	5	—	Brazilian Reals
	This compares to twelve forward contracts as of December 31, 2012. The fair value asset of the derivative forward contracts as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was approximately $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on our balance sheet. The unrealized foreign exchange gains (losses) for the year ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are less than $0.5 million for each year and are included in other (income) expense in our consolidated statements of income.
	We have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our foreign currency forward contracts fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, found under ASC Topic 820.1, Fair Value Measurement. The credit valuation adjustments, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by ourselves and our counterparties are Level 3 inputs. However, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our foreign currency forward contracts and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

	Segment Information
	During the fourth quarter of 2013, we changed our organizational structure to simplify the way the Company is managed better align our business with our customer and end markets. As part of this organizational change, the Company announced that it would consolidate its segment and reporting structure from three to two. The first segment is Energy, which will include all of the businesses from the existing Energy segment and a majority of the former ‘Flow Technologies’ businesses. The primary markets served in the new Energy segment are Oil & Gas: upstream, mid-stream and downstream; as well as the global power generation market. The second segment is Aerospace & Defense, which will include all of the former Aerospace segment businesses plus the UK based defense-oriented businesses from the former Flow Technologies segment.

	Each reporting segment is individually managed and has separate financial results that are reviewed by our chief operating decision-maker. Each segment contains related products and services particular to that segment. Refer to Note 1 for further discussion of the products included in each segment.
	In calculating operating income (loss) from operations for individual reporting segments, certain administrative expenses incurred at the corporate level for the benefit of other reporting segments were allocated to the segments based upon specific identification of costs, employment related information or net revenues.
	Corporate / Eliminations are reported on a net “after allocations” basis. Inter-segment intercompany transactions affecting net operating profit have been eliminated within the respective operating segments.
	The operating loss reported in the Corporate / Eliminations column in the preceding table consists primarily of the following corporate expenses: compensation and fringe benefit costs for executive management and other corporate staff; corporate development costs (relating to mergers and acquisitions); human resource development and benefit plan administration expenses; legal, accounting and other professional and consulting fees; facilities, equipment and maintenance costs; and travel and various other administrative costs. The above costs are incurred in the course of furthering the business prospects of the Company and relate to activities such as: implementing strategic business growth opportunities; corporate governance; risk management; treasury; investor relations and shareholder services; regulatory compliance; and stock transfer agent costs.
	The total assets for each reportable segment have been reported as the Identifiable Assets for that segment, including inter-segment intercompany receivables, payables and investments in other CIRCOR companies. Identifiable assets reported in Corporate / Eliminations include both corporate assets, such as cash, deferred taxes, prepaid and other assets, fixed assets, as well as the elimination of all inter-segment intercompany assets. The elimination of intercompany assets results in negative amounts reported in Corporate/Eliminations for Identifiable Assets. Corporate Identifiable Assets after elimination of intercompany assets were $51.5 million, $39.9 million, and $44.1 million as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	All intercompany transactions have been eliminated, and inter-segment revenues are not significant. The following tables present net revenue and long-lived assets by geographic area. The net revenue amounts are based on shipments to each of the respective areas.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

'

Principles Of Consolidation And Basis Of Presentation

'

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CIRCOR and its subsidiaries. The results of companies acquired during the year (if any) are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use Of Estimates

'

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Some of the more significant estimates relate to acquisition accounting, inventory valuation, depreciation, share-based compensation, amortization and impairment of long-lived assets, pension obligations, income taxes, penalty accruals for late shipments, asset valuations, environmental liability, and product liability. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Fair Value

'

Fair Value

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value and includes a framework for measuring fair value and disclosing fair value measurements in financial statements. Fair value is a market-based measurement rather than an entity-specific measurement. The fair value hierarchy makes a distinction between assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). This fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). We utilize fair value measurements for forward currency contracts, guarantee and indemnification obligations, pension plan assets, and certain intangible assets.

Revenue Recognition

'

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when products are delivered, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, no significant post delivery obligations remain, the price to the buyers is fixed or determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. We have limited long-term arrangements, representing less than 1% of our revenue, requiring delivery of products or services over extended periods of time and revenue and profits on certain of these arrangements are recognized in accordance with the percentage of completion method of accounting. Shipping and handling costs invoiced to customers are recorded as components of revenues and the associated costs are recorded as cost of revenues.

Cost Of Revenue

'

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue primarily reflects the costs of manufacturing and preparing products for sale and, to a much lesser extent, the costs of performing services. Cost of revenue is primarily comprised of the cost of materials, inbound freight, production, direct labor and overhead, which are expenses that directly result from the level of production activity at the manufacturing plant. Additional expenses that directly result from the level of production activity at the manufacturing plant include: purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, internal transfer costs, utility expenses, property taxes, depreciation of production building and equipment assets, salaries and benefits paid to plant manufacturing management and maintenance supplies.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, And Short-Term Investments

'

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-term Investments

Cash and cash equivalents consist of amounts on deposit in checking and savings accounts with banks and other financial institutions. In 2013 and 2012, short-term investments primarily consist of guaranteed investment certificates. As of December 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents totaled $102.2 million, substantially all of which was held in foreign bank accounts. This compares to $61.7 million of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012, of which substantially all was held in foreign bank accounts. Short-term investments as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 totaled $0.1 million, all of which is held in foreign bank accounts.

Inventories

'

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is generally determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. Where appropriate, standard cost systems are utilized for purposes of determining cost; the standards are adjusted as necessary to ensure they approximate actual cost. Estimates for obsolescence or slow moving inventory are maintained based on current economic conditions, historical sales quantities and patterns and, in some cases, the risk of loss on specifically identified inventories. Such inventories are recorded at estimated realizable value net of the cost of disposal.

Penalty Accruals

'

Penalty Accruals

Certain customer agreements, primarily in our project related businesses and large aerospace programs, contain late shipment penalty clauses whereby we are contractually obligated to pay consideration to our customers if we do not meet specified shipment dates. The accrual for estimated penalties is shown as a reduction of revenue and is based on several factors including historical customer settlement experience and management’s assessment of specific shipment delay information. Accruals related to these potential late shipment penalties as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $10.3 million and $8.6 million, respectively. As we conclude performance under these agreements, the actual amount of consideration paid to our customers may vary from the amounts we currently have accrued.

Property, Plant And Equipment

'

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is generally provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which typically range from 3 to 50 years for buildings and improvements, 3 to 10 years for manufacturing machinery and equipment, computer equipment and software, and furniture and fixtures. Motor vehicles are depreciated over a range of 2 to 6 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company reports depreciation of property, plant and equipment in cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses based on the nature of the underlying assets. Depreciation primarily related to the production of inventory is recorded in cost of revenue. Depreciation related to selling and administrative functions is reported in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Business Acquisitions

'

Business Acquisitions

ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, provides guidance regarding business combinations and requires acquisition-date fair value measurement of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For more detailed information, refer to Note 3, Business Acquisitions.

Goodwill And Intangible Assets

'

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, we utilize each of our operating segments as our goodwill reporting units as we have discrete financial information that is regularly reviewed by operating segment management and the businesses within each segment have similar economic characteristics. For the year-ended December 31, 2013, the Company’s two reporting units were Energy and Aerospace & Defense with respective goodwill balances of $52.9 million and $22.9 million.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the cost of acquisition over the sum of the amounts assigned to identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Goodwill and intangible assets are recorded at cost; intangible assets with definitive lives are amortized over their useful lives. For goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, we perform an impairment assessment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis as of the end of our October month end or more frequently if circumstances warrant. Our annual impairment assessment is a two-step process. The first step requires a comparison of the implied fair value of each of our reporting units to the respective carrying value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit is higher than its fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and the second step of the evaluation must be performed. In the second step, the potential impairment is calculated by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of the goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss will be recognized for the excess.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is subjective and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions. With the assistance of an independent third-party appraisal firm, we estimate the fair value of our reporting units using an income approach based on the present value of future cash flows. We believe this approach yields the most appropriate evidence of fair value. We also utilize the comparable company multiples method and market transaction fair value method to validate the fair value amount we obtain using the income approach. The key assumptions utilized in our discounted cash flow model include our estimates of future cash flows from operating activities offset by estimated capital expenditures of the reporting unit, the estimated terminal value for each reporting unit, a discount rate based on a weighted average cost of capital, overall economic conditions, and our assessment of our current market capitalization. Any unfavorable material changes to these key assumptions could potentially impact our fair value determinations. As discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K regarding risks and other factors that may cause our results to vary materially, some of our end markets are cyclical and we face significant competition. As such, we may experience fluctuations in revenues and operating results resulting in the non-achievement of our estimated growth rates, operating performance and working capital estimates utilized in our discounted cash flow models.

In fiscal year 2013 when we performed our step one analysis, the fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded the respective carrying amount, and no goodwill impairments were recorded. The fair values utilized for our 2013 goodwill assessment exceeded the carrying amounts by approximately 283% and 95% for our Energy and Aerospace & Defense reporting units, respectively. The growth rate assumptions utilized were consistent with growth rates within the markets that we serve. Actual 2013 results were substantially consistent overall with estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our goodwill impairment analysis performed in October. If our results significantly vary from our estimates, related projections, or business assumptions in the future due to changes in industry or market conditions, we may be required to record impairment charges. By way of example, a 10% reduction in our Aerospace & Defense reporting unit projected cash flows would not result in the fair value being lower than the carrying value.

The goodwill recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 was $75.9 million compared with $77.4 million as of December 31, 2012 with the only change being due to foreign currency fluctuations. Net intangible assets as of December 31, 2013 were $35.7 million compared to $45.2 million as of December 31, 2012. The total net amount of non-amortizing assets was $17.0 million and $23.6 million, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as trade names, are generally recorded and valued in connection with a business acquisition. These assets are reviewed at least annually for impairment, or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant. We also utilized a fair value calculation to evaluate these intangibles.

Impairment Of Other Long-Lived Assets

'

Impairment of Other Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, Plant, Property, and Equipment, we perform impairment analyses of our other long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, whenever events and circumstances indicate that they may be impaired. When the undiscounted future cash flows are expected to be less than the carrying value of identified asset groupings being reviewed for impairment, the asset groupings are written to fair value.

Advertising Costs

'

Advertising Costs

Our accounting policy is to expense advertising costs, principally in selling, general and administrative expenses, when incurred. Our advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $2.1 million, $3.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

Research and Development

'

Research and Development

Research and development expenditures are expensed when incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Our research and development expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $6.5 million, $8.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively.

Income Taxes

'

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if we anticipate that it is more likely than not that we may not realize some or all of a deferred tax asset.

For our Dutch operating subsidiary undistributed earnings are generally not considered to be indefinitely reinvested, and because our effective tax rate in the Netherlands is higher than the current U.S. tax rates, no additional provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes is needed. The undistributed earnings of our other foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been recorded.

In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, the Company initially recognizes the financial statement effect of a tax position when, based solely on its technical merits, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of greater than fifty percent) that the position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. Those tax positions failing to qualify for initial recognition are recognized in the first interim period in which they meet the more likely than not standard, are resolved through negotiation or litigation with the taxing authority, or upon expiration of the statute of limitations. De-recognition of a tax position that was previously recognized occurs when an entity subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more likely than not threshold of being sustained.

Under ASC Topic 740, only the portion of the liability that is expected to be paid within one year is classified as a current liability. As a result, liabilities expected to be resolved without the payment of cash (e.g., due to the expiration of the statute of limitations) or are not expected to be paid within one year are classified as non-current. It is the Company’s policy to record estimated interest and penalties as income tax expense and tax credits as a reduction in income tax expense.

Environmental Compliance And Remediation

'

Environmental Compliance and Remediation

Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to existing conditions caused by past operations, which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, estimated costs are based upon current laws and regulations, existing technology and the most probable method of remediation.

Foreign Currency Translation

'

Foreign Currency Translation

Our international subsidiaries operate and report their financial results using local functional currencies. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of the relevant periods, and revenues and costs are translated using weighted average exchange rates for the relevant periods. The resulting translation adjustments are presented as a separate component of other comprehensive income. We do not provide for U.S. income taxes on foreign currency translation adjustments since we do not generally provide for such taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Our net foreign exchange losses recorded for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $1.8 million, $0.5 million, and $2.2 million, respectively.

Earnings Per Common Share

'

Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income by the number of weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding and assumes the conversion of all dilutive securities when the effects of such conversion would not be anti-dilutive.

Earnings per common share and the weighted average number of shares used to compute net earnings per common share, basic and assuming full dilution, are reconciled below (in thousands, except per share data):

Certain stock options to purchase common shares and restricted stock units (RSUs) were anti-dilutive. There were 23,390 anti-dilutive options and RSUs for the year ended December 31, 2013 with exercise prices ranging from $29.37 to $79.33. There were 279,075 anti-dilutive options and RSUs for the year ended December 31, 2012 with exercise prices ranging from $29.37 to $60.83. There were 173,771 anti-dilutive options and RSUs for the year ended December 31, 2011 with exercise prices ranging from $30.91 to $60.83.

As of December 31, 2013, there were no outstanding restricted stock units that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividend equivalents and are considered participating securities that are included in our computation of basic and fully diluted earnings per share. There is no difference in the earnings per share amounts between the two class method and the treasury stock method, which is why we continue to use the treasury stock method.

Derivative Financial Instruments

'

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations including foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. The Company currently uses derivative instruments to manage foreign currency risk on certain business transactions denominated in foreign currencies. To the extent the underlying transactions hedged are completed, these forward contracts do not subject us to significant risk from exchange rate movements because they offset gains and losses on the related foreign currency denominated transactions. These forward contracts do not qualify as hedging instruments and, therefore, do not qualify for fair value or cash flow hedge treatment. Any unrealized gains and losses on our contracts are recognized as a component of other expense in our consolidated statements of income.

Pension Benefits

'

Pension Benefits

Pension obligations and other post-retirement benefits are actuarially determined and are affected by several assumptions including the discount rate and projected annual rates of return on plan assets. Changes in discount rate and differences from actual results will affect the amounts of pension and other post-retirement expense recognized in future periods. These assumptions may also have an effect on the amount and timing of future cash contributions. The Company recognizes the over-funded or under-funded status of defined benefit post-retirement plans in its balance sheet, measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation (the projected benefit obligation for pension plans and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for other post-retirement plans). The change in the funded status of the plan is recognized in the year in which the change occurs through other comprehensive income. These provisions also require plan assets and obligations to be measured as of the Company’s balance sheet date.

Share-Based Compensation

'

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation costs are based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, and these costs are recognized over the requisite vesting period. For all of our non-market condition stock option grants, the fair value of each grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Black-Scholes utilizes assumptions related to volatility, the risk-free interest rate, the dividend yield and employee exercise behavior. Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based on the historic volatility of the Company’s stock price. The risk free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury Yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The model incorporates exercise and post-vesting forfeiture assumptions based on an analysis of historical data.

Market condition stock option awards are not granted under the Company's 1999 Stock Plan and include both a service period and a market performance vesting condition. The stock options vest if certain stock price targets are met based on the stock price closing at or above 60 consecutive trading days. Vested options may be exercised 25% at the time of vesting, 50% one year from the date of vesting and 100% two years from the date of vesting. These market condition stock option awards are being expensed utilizing a graded method and are subject to forfeiture in the event of employment termination (whether voluntary or involuntary) prior to vesting. To the extent that the market conditions above (stock price targets) are not met, those options will not vest and will forfeit 5 years from grant date. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation option pricing model to value these option awards.

See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for further information on share-based compensation.
