Overview
Carlisle Companies Incorporated (“Carlisle”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a diversified, global manufacturer of highly-engineered products, including building envelope products and energy-efficient solutions for customers creating sustainable buildings of the future, high-performance wire and cable and other electronics products for the commercial aerospace, defense electronics, medical device and other industrial markets and liquid, powder, sealants and adhesives finishing equipment and systems for several global end markets. Our Company website is www.carlisle.com, through which we make available, free of charge, our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after these reports are electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Information on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference and should not be considered part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. All references to "Notes" refer to our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 
Business Strategy
We strive to be a market leading manufacturer of highly engineered products in the various markets we serve. Introduced in early 2018, Vision 2025 set the tone for a returns-focused capital deployment strategy intended to create sustained value for all of our stakeholders, with an intermediate-term goal of achieving $15 of earnings per share by 2025. Key pillars of this strategic plan include: dedication to driving above market revenue growth, utilizing the Carlisle Operating System (“COS”), an operating structure and strategy deployment system based on lean enterprise and six sigma principles, consistently to drive efficiencies and operating leverage, building scale with synergistic acquisitions, continuing to invest in and develop exceptional talent, supporting continued organic growth through capital expenditures, and returning excess capital to stockholders.
We utilize COS to drive improving operational performance. COS is a continuous improvement process that defines the way we do business and is well-ingrained in our culture throughout Carlisle. Waste is eliminated and efficiencies are improved enterprise wide, driving increased profitability. Improvements expand beyond production areas, as COS drives new product innovation, engineering, supply chain management, warranty and product rationalization.
With accelerating demand for energy-efficient solutions for sustainable buildings of the future, we will continue to seek ways to improve our manufacturing processes to lower carbon emissions through COS. Importantly, we will continue to emphasize the development of products that ultimately help reduce carbon emissions from the rooftop, throughout the building envelope, and across all businesses.
In September 2021, Carlisle took a significant step in expanding our water, air and vapor barrier business in acquiring ASP Henry Holdings, Inc. (“Henry”) within our Carlisle Construction Materials (“CCM”) business segment. This acquisition is a great example of both our commitment to building scale through synergistic acquisitions and growing our breadth of sustainable, energy-efficiency enhancing products and systems. Refer to Note 3 for more details regarding acquisitions of the Company’s businesses during the past three years.

We also pursue the sale of a business when we determine it no longer fits within the Company’s long-term goals or strategy. Accordingly, in August 2021, we completed the sale of our Carlisle Brake & Friction ("CBF") segment for gross proceeds of (i) $250 million cash at closing, subject to certain adjustments, and (ii) the right to receive up to an additional $125 million based on CBF's achievement of certain performance targets. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion of our discontinued operations.
While the coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19"), supply chain challenges, pervasive and persistent inflation, and labor shortages have been material headwinds to our operations, we believe our proactive approach to continuous improvement initiatives have driven Carlisle’s resilience and ability to report solid financial results in 2021. Our efforts drove our acceleration through the recovery by further improving the efficiency of our businesses through COS, continuing to make the investments necessary to deliver a world-class and customer-valued Carlisle Experience, and ensuring we maintain discipline and rigor in our capital allocation process. Taken together, we believe we are well positioned to achieve our goals outlined in our strategic plan, Vision 2025. See Description of Business by Segment below for a more detailed discussion of our Vision 2025 strategy.

Description of Business by Segment
Carlisle Construction Materials (“CCM”)
Products, Markets and Locations
The CCM segment has evolved from a supplier of the first single-ply ethylene propylene diene monomer (“EPDM”) roofing membranes in the early 1960s to today, where we deliver innovative, easy-to-install and energy-efficient solutions through the Carlisle Experience for customers who are creating the sustainable building of the future. CCM manufactures a complete range of building envelope products for commercial, industrial and residential buildings, including single-ply roofing, rigid foam insulation, spray polyurethane foam technologies, architectural metal, heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC") hardware and sealants, below-grade waterproofing, and air and vapor barrier systems focused on the weatherproofing and thermal performance of the building envelope. CCM is a leading North American and European building products manufacturer offering a complete set of solutions and systems to aid in the design of efficient building envelope construction projects, backed by industry-leading product innovations and a focus on green principles.
EPDM, thermoplastic polyolefin (“TPO”) and polyvinyl chloride (“PVC”) membrane and polyisocyanurate ("polyiso") insulation are sold together in warranted systems or separately in non-warranted systems to the new construction, re-roofing and maintenance, general construction and industrial markets. These products are primarily sold under the Carlisle SynTec, Versico, Weatherbond and Hunter Panels brands in the United States of America (“U.S.” or “United States”) and throughout the world, and EPDM membranes under the Resitrix and Hertalan brands primarily in Europe. The segment sells its expanded polystyrene for a variety of end markets, predominantly roofing and waterproofing through its Insulfoam brand. The segment sells its building envelope systems under the Henry brand primarily in the U.S. and Canada.
CCM operates manufacturing facilities located throughout the United States, its primary market, and in Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, United Kingdom ("U.K.") and Romania. The majority of CCM’s products are sold through a network of authorized sales representatives and distributors in North America and Europe.
Key Raw Materials
Key raw materials for this segment include methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (“MDI”), polyol, EPDM polymer, TPO polymer, silicone polymer, carbon black and coated steel. These raw materials generally have at least two vendor sources to better assure adequate supply. The vendor typically has multiple processing facilities for key raw materials that are single sourced.
Seasonality
Revenues and earnings for CCM have historically been higher in the second and third quarters due to increased construction activity during those periods from favorable weather conditions.
Market Factors
Backlog orders were $1.7 billion and $129.6 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. All orders are expected to be filled in 2022. The large increase in backlog orders at the end of 2021 was due to a rapid rise in demand as the U.S. economy rebounded, compounded by supply chain challenges in meeting that demand.
CCM serves a large and diverse customer base; however, in 2021 CCM's two largest customers represented 30.9% of this segment’s revenues and 24.7% of the Company’s consolidated revenues. The loss of either of these customers could have a material adverse effect on this segment’s revenues and operating income and the Company's consolidated revenues and operating income. Both of these customers' business with CCM is covered under a number of independent local agreements.
This segment faces competition from numerous competitors that produce roofing, insulation and waterproofing products for commercial and residential applications. The level of competition within this market varies by product line and region. As one of four major manufacturers in the single-ply industry, CCM competes through innovative products, long-term warranties and customer service. CCM offers separately priced extended warranty contracts on certain of its products ranging from five to 40 years, the most significant being those offered on its installed single-ply roofing systems primarily in the United States, subject to certain exclusions, that covers leaks in the roofing system attributable to a problem with the particular product or the installation of the product. The building owner must have the roofing system installed by an independent authorized roofing contractor trained by CCM to install its
4

roofing systems in order to qualify for the warranty. Each warranted roof system is inspected by Carlisle prior to warranty issuance.
Vision 2025 Strategy
Our strategy under Vision 2025 for the CCM segment is to:
Capture significant aftermarket opportunities as buildings in the U.S. approach “re-roofing” vintage;
Improve upon its above average margin profile;
Further expand our presence in niche high-growth and high-margin opportunities including spray foam insulation, air, water, and vapor barriers, and architectural metals; and
Expand internationally, especially into Europe, where there is a market to upgrade traditional asphalt roofing with EPDM and other single-ply roofing.
Key growth initiatives include:
Grow operating income through the creation of value based on labor and energy efficiency;
Leverage the Carlisle Experience to create the preferred choice through operational excellence;
Continued development of proprietary, differentiated products;
Utilize training to drive a culture of continuous learning that creates brand loyalty; and
Focus mergers and acquisitions on synergistic building envelope opportunities.

Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG")
Our legacy of environmental responsibility began more than 100 years ago when scrap rubber was introduced into the inner-tube production line. As we continued our ESG journey, we advanced our sustainability goals by creating and implementing the Carlisle Environmental Sustainability Policy, which specifies the collection of detailed ESG data from our facilities across the globe. Through evaluating the data, we can measure factors like pay equity and greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions which we will use to establish improvement targets. The policy further establishes a process to engage our supply chain and monitor compliance with Carlisle policies for fair labor practices and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Finally, the policy formalizes our commitment to certify all our manufacturing facilities to the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System by the end of 2025.
In 2021, we announced plans to invest more than $60 million to build a state-of-the-art Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ("LEED") certified facility in Sikeston, Missouri where CCM will manufacture energy-efficient polyiso insulation. Additionally, we have invested approximately $12 million into a 40,000 square foot research and development technical center in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. This investment will help us to maintain a technological leadership position in the building and construction industry while meeting the demands of climate adaptation for buildings.
The Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer reviews and approves the strategic direction for Carlisle’s sustainability approach. Carlisle’s sustainability approach is guided to execution through the Vice President of Sustainability and the ESG Steering Committee. The Vice President of Sustainability, reporting to the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, leads the ESG Steering Committee. The ESG Steering Committee is composed of key executives in the areas of human resources, COS, legal, and purchasing departments. The ESG Steering Committee develops strategy, provides oversight, and monitors accountability in our ESG and climate-related initiatives through the deployment of the Carlisle Environmental Sustainability Policy. On a periodic basis, Carlisle's Board of Directors (the "Board") reviews the status of the Company's ESG initiatives. The Vice President of Sustainability and members of the ESG Steering Committee work with senior leadership within Carlisle’s business units to deploy and accelerate Carlisle’s Sustainability strategy.
Our environmental sustainability initiatives and strategy are discussed further in our 2020 Corporate Sustainability Report, which can be found on our website at www.carlisle.com; this report is not incorporated by reference and should not be considered part of this Form 10-K.
Human Capital Resources
Investing in Our People
As of December 31, 2021, we employed approximately 11,000 people, excluding approximately 500 contractors.
We believe that talent acquisition and retention are critical drivers to delivering the goals of Vision 2025 and that a trained, diverse and inspired workforce is integral to delivering value to our stakeholders. We begin with a recruiting process that reaches a wide array of potential employees and includes the engagement of specialized, diverse recruiting firms such as The Standard Diversity Network, Jobs4Women.net, Asian American Jobsite, African American Jobsite and many others.
We also partner with universities in the U.S. and outside the U.S., recruiting for functional talent in management, sales, finance, information technology and other functions from the communities in which we work. In addition, we engage certain of these universities in collaborative research and development, and training efforts. Each business segment works with high schools and trade schools in their respective locations to educate young people about and attract them to manufacturing careers.
We offer several training programs for current employees intended to develop talent, including:
The Carlisle Leadership Summit is intended to identify and prepare high-performing employees for senior leadership roles.

This program helps these employees to define their own leadership skills to enable their future success.
The Carlisle Management Development Program was established with several university MBA programs and is a one-year post-MBA rotational program designed to give an expedited experience for participants within business segments across functional areas.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Carlisle has pledged to take action to cultivate a workplace where diverse perspectives and experiences are welcomed and respected. In May 2018, Carlisle joined the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™, a growing coalition of nearly 2,000 CEOs pledging to advance diversity and inclusion in the workplace. By signing on to this commitment, Carlisle is pledging to take action to cultivate a workplace where diverse perspectives and experiences are welcomed and respected. CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ is cultivating a new type of ecosystem centered around collaboration and sharing.
Carlisle’s commitment to diversity and inclusion in the workforce includes a policy of non-discriminatory treatment and respect of human rights for all current and prospective employees. Discrimination on the basis of an individual’s race, religion, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, national origin or veteran’s status is not permitted by Carlisle and is illegal in many jurisdictions. Carlisle respects the human rights of all employees and strives to treat them with dignity consistent with standards and practices recognized by the international community. Carlisle is committed to respecting all human rights, as articulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the International Labor Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.
In addition to policies for fair treatment, Carlisle also works to address unconscious bias in the workplace. Unconscious bias training is a key component of Carlisle’s leadership development programs. This training helps inform leaders of biases and provides a forum for them to explore how Carlisle can strengthen our culture of inclusion by addressing and breaking down biases. This has contributed to an effort to gain equal diversity representation throughout Carlisle.
As of the end of 2021, we achieved gender and race pay equity across our U.S. workforce. This means compensating employees the same when they perform the same job duties, while accounting for other factors, such as their experience level, job performance and tenure with the Company. Carlisle's minimum starting wage is $15 per hour for our entire U.S. workforce.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.
The Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows can be affected by a number of factors including those material factors set forth below, those set forth in our “Forward Looking Statements” disclosure in Item 7 and those set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, any one of which could cause the Company’s actual results to vary materially from recent results or from anticipated future results and make an investment in the Company speculative or risky.
Strategic, Business and Operational Risks
The Company’s earnings growth strategy is partially dependent on the acquisition and successful integration of other businesses.
The Company has a history of acquiring businesses as part of its earnings growth strategy. Typically, the Company considers acquiring companies that can be integrated within an existing business. Acquisitions of this type involve numerous risks, which may include a failure to realize expected revenue growth and operating and cost synergies from integration initiatives, increasing dependency on the markets served by the combined businesses or increased debt to finance the acquisitions.
The Company also considers the acquisition of businesses that may operate independent of existing businesses. Acquisitions of this type involve risks similar to those encountered when acquiring companies that can be integrated within an existing business, including a failure to realize expected revenue growth or operating and cost reductions within the acquired business, and could increase the possibility of diverting corporate management’s attention from its existing operations.
The successful realization of revenue growth, cost reductions and synergies with our existing businesses, and within acquired stand-alone businesses, and increases in profitability overall, are dependent upon successful integration initiatives. If these integration initiatives are not fully realized, there may be a negative effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
See Note 3 for recent acquisition information.

Table of Contents

The loss of, a significant decline in business with, or pricing pressure from, one or more of the Company’s key customers could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The Company operates in several niche markets in which a large portion of the segment’s revenues are attributable to a few large customers. See “Item 1. Business—Overview—Description of Businesses by Segment” for a discussion of customer concentrations by segment. A significant reduction in purchases by one or more of these customers could have an adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of one or more of the Company’s segments.
Some of the Company’s key customers enjoy significant purchasing power that may be used to exert pricing pressure on the Company. Additionally, as many of the Company’s businesses are part of a long supply chain to the ultimate consumer, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely affected if one or more key customers elects to in-source or find alternative suppliers for the production of a product or products that the Company currently provides. 
Failure to successfully complete dispositions or restructuring activities could negatively affect the Company.
From time to time, the Company, as part of its commitment to concentrate on its core business, may dispose of all or a portion of certain businesses. Such dispositions involve a number of risks and present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including diversion of management's attention from the Company’s core businesses, increased expense associated with the dispositions, potential disputes with the customers or suppliers of the disposed businesses, potential disputes with the acquirers of the disposed businesses and a potential dilutive effect on the Company’s earnings per share. If dispositions are not completed in a timely manner, there may be a negative effect on the Company’s cash flows and/or the Company’s ability to execute its strategy. 
Additionally, from time to time, the Company may undertake consolidation and other restructuring projects in an effort to reduce costs and streamline its operations. Such restructuring activities may divert management's attention from the Company’s core businesses, increase expenses on a short-term basis and lead to potential disputes with the employees, customers or suppliers of the affected businesses. If restructuring activities are not completed in a timely manner or if anticipated cost savings, synergies and efficiencies are not realized, there may be a negative effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Industry and Macroeconomic Risks
Several of the market segments that the Company serves are cyclical and sensitive to domestic and global economic conditions.
Several of the market segments in which the Company sells its products are, to varying degrees, cyclical and may experience periodic downturns in demand. For example, the CCM segment is susceptible to downturns in the commercial construction industry, particularly in the construction repair and replacement sectors, the CIT segment is susceptible to downturns in the commercial aerospace industry and the CFT segment is susceptible to downturns in the automotive industry.
Uncertainty regarding global economic conditions may have an adverse effect on the businesses, results of operations and financial condition of the Company and its customers, distributors and suppliers. Among the economic factors which may affect performance are: manufacturing activity, commercial and residential construction, passenger airline travel, difficulties entering new markets and general economic conditions such as inflation, deflation, interest rates and credit availability. These effects may, among other things, negatively impact the level of purchases, capital expenditures and creditworthiness of the Company’s customers, distributors and suppliers, and therefore, the Company’s results of operations, margins and orders. The Company cannot predict if, when or how much worldwide economic conditions will fluctuate. These conditions are highly unpredictable and beyond the Company's control. If these conditions deteriorate, however, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.
The Company is subject to risks arising from international economic, political, legal, and business factors.
The Company operates in global markets. Approximately 16% of the Company’s revenues in 2021 were generated outside the United States. In addition, to compete globally, all of the Company’s segments have manufacturing
12

Table of Contents

facilities outside the United States. In 2021, approximately 27% of cost of goods sold was derived from facilities outside of the United States.
The Company’s reliance on international revenues and international manufacturing bases exposes its business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows to a number of risks, including price and currency controls; government embargoes or foreign trade restrictions, including import and export tariffs; extraterritorial effects of U.S. laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; expropriation of assets; war, civil uprisings, acts of terror and riots; political instability; nationalization of private enterprises; hyperinflationary conditions; the necessity of obtaining governmental approval for new and continuing products and operations, currency conversion or repatriation of assets; legal systems of decrees, laws, taxes, regulations, interpretations and court decisions that are not always fully developed and that may be retroactively or arbitrarily applied; cost and availability of international labor, materials and shipping channels; and customer loyalty to local companies.
The Company has significant concentrations in the domestic commercial construction market.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, approximately 80% of the Company’s revenues and approximately 121% of its operating income were generated by the CCM segment. Construction spending is affected by economic conditions, changes in interest rates, demographic and population shifts and changes in construction spending by federal, state and local governments. A decline in the commercial construction market, particularly in construction repair and replacement activities, could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, adverse weather conditions such as heavy or sustained rainfall, cold weather and snow can limit construction activity and reduce demand for roofing materials.
The CCM segment competes through pricing, among other factors. Competition in this segment may increase pricing pressure on the Company which may negatively affect operating results in future periods. 
Raw material costs are a significant component of the Company’s cost structure and are subject to volatility, including cost increases, significant disruptions to the Company's supply chains or significant shortages of materials.
The Company utilizes petroleum-based products, steel and other commodities in its manufacturing processes. Raw materials, including inbound freight, accounted for approximately 78% of the Company’s cost of goods sold in 2021. Significant increases in the costs of these materials may not be recovered through selling price increases and significant disruption to the Company's supply chains or significant shortages of materials could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company also relies on global sources of raw materials, which could be adversely impacted by unfavorable shipping or trade arrangements, including import and export tariffs and global economic conditions. Refer to “Part II—Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for additional information regarding commodity price risk.
Currency fluctuation could have a material impact on the Company’s reported results of business operations.
The Company’s global revenues and other activities are translated into U.S. Dollars ("USD") for reporting purposes. The strengthening or weakening of the USD could result in unfavorable translation effects as the results of transactions in foreign countries are translated into USD. In addition, sales and purchases in currencies other than our subsidiaries functional currencies (primarily the USD, Euro, Chinese Renminbi and British Pound) expose the Company to fluctuations in foreign currencies relative to those functional currencies. Increased strength of the functional currency will decrease the Company’s reported revenues or margins in respect of sales conducted in foreign currencies to the extent the Company is unable or determines not to increase local currency prices. Likewise, decreased strength of the functional currency could have a material adverse effect on the cost of materials and products. Many of the Company’s sales that are exported by its USD functional subsidiaries to foreign countries are denominated in USD, reducing currency exposure. However, increased strength of the USD may decrease the competitiveness of our U.S. subsidiaries’ products that are sold in USD within foreign locations. 
The Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the exposure of certain of our results of operations and cash flows to such fluctuations. See “Part II—Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for a discussion on foreign currency exchange risk.

Environmental, Regulatory and Legal Risks
The Company and certain of its customers’ operations are subject to regulatory risks.
Certain products manufactured by our businesses and certain of our customers operating in the aerospace and medical markets are subject to extensive regulation by the FAA and EASA, and FDA, respectively. It can be costly and time-consuming for the Company and our customers to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals and certifications to operate in these markets. Delays in FAA or EASA approvals or certifications of the products of our aerospace customers may impact the requirements for our interconnect components. Product approvals subject to regulations might not be granted for new medical devices on a timely basis, if at all. Proposed new regulations or changes to regulations could result in the need to incur significant additional costs to comply. Continued government scrutiny, including reviews of the FDA medical device pre-market authorization and post-market surveillance processes, may impact the requirements for our medical device components. Failure of the Company or any of its customers operating in these markets to effectively respond to changes to applicable laws and regulations or comply with existing and future laws and regulations may have a negative effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are also subject to increasingly stringent environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to air emissions, wastewater discharges, chemical and hazardous waste management, and disposal. Some of these environmental laws hold owners or operators of land or businesses liable for their own and for previous owners’ or operators’ releases of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes. Other environmental laws and regulations require the obtainment of, and compliance with, environmental permits. To date, costs of complying with environmental, health, and safety requirements have not been material, and the Company did not have any significant accruals related to potential future costs of environmental remediation as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, nor are any material asset retirement obligations recorded as of that date. However, the nature of the Company’s operations and its long history of industrial activities at certain of its current or former facilities, as well as those acquired, could potentially result in material environmental liabilities or asset retirement obligations. 
Changes in environmental and climate change laws or regulations, including laws relating to GHG emissions, could lead to new or additional investment in the Company’s products or facilities and could increase environmental compliance expenditures. Changes in climate change concerns, or in the regulation of such concerns, including GHG emissions, could subject the Company to additional costs and restrictions, including increased energy and raw material costs and other compliance requirements which could negatively impact the Company’s reputation, business, capital expenditures, results of operations, and financial position.
General Risk Factors
The Company is subject to risks arising from global pandemics, including COVID-19.
The Company’s businesses operate in market segments currently being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating during a global pandemic exposes the Company to a number of risks, including diminished demand for our products and our customers’ products, suspensions in the operations of our manufacturing facilities, maintenance of appropriate labor levels and our ability to ship products to our customers, interruptions in our supply chains and distribution systems, increases in operating costs related to pay and benefits for our employees, collection of trade receivables in accordance with their terms, potential impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets; any of which, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We have experienced, and could continue to experience, diminished demand for our products as a result of COVID-19. The decline in domestic and international passenger airline travel caused by COVID-19 is negatively impacting demand for our products sold to customers operating in the commercial aerospace industry. While these COVID-19 related impacts have not to date, in the aggregate, had a material adverse impact on the Company, we are unable to predict the extent or duration of these impacts as they will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, such as the duration of the coronavirus outbreak, the timing and extent of increased passenger airline travel and nonresidential construction and construction repair and replacement activity, and the continued ability of our businesses to continue to operate within all applicable COVID-19 related government rules and regulations.

Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Carlisle Companies Incorporated (“Carlisle”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a leading supplier of innovative building envelope products and energy-efficient solutions for customers creating sustainable buildings of the future. Through our Carlisle Construction Materials ("CCM") business and family of leading brands, we deliver innovating, labor reducing and environmentally responsible products and solutions to customers through the Carlisle Experience. Over the life of a building, our products help drive lower greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy savings for building owners and operators, and increase a building's resiliency to the elements. Driven by our strategic plan, Vision 2025, Carlisle is committed to generating superior stockholder returns and maintaining a balanced capital deployment approach, including investments in our businesses, strategic acquisitions, share repurchases and continued dividend increases. Carlisle is also a leading provider of products in the aerospace, medical technologies and general industrial markets through its Carlisle Interconnect Technologies ("CIT") and Carlisle Fluid Technologies ("CFT") businesses.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of Company management. All references to “Notes” refer to our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. For more information regarding our consolidated results, segment results, and liquidity and capital resources for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, refer to "Part II—Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Company's 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as revised by the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 14, 2021 (the "2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K").
Executive Overview
Carlisle delivered outstanding results in 2021, weathering the coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19"), and accelerating into the global economic recovery despite significant challenges in our supply chain, pervasive and persistent inflation, and labor shortages. Guided by Vision 2025 and rooted in our culture of continuous improvement through the Carlisle Operating System ("COS"), we recorded record fourth quarter revenues, operating income, earnings per share ("EPS") and adjusted EBITDA. When Vision 2025 was introduced, we committed to a leaner, more focused portfolio and a pivot towards investing in our highest-returning businesses, particularly CCM. CCM's outstanding performance in 2021 confirmed that our strategy towards a more building products focus is correct.
CCM once again constituted the greater portion of total Company sales and earnings, supported by its ability to provide the best-in-class Carlisle Experience across our channel partners. CCM continues to benefit from a robust pipeline of re-roofing demand and a growing desire of the marketplace for a broad set of energy efficient product solutions from CCM that support the sustainable design, construction and repair of buildings. This, coupled with continued price discipline and successfully navigating significant raw material and labor shortages through improved sourcing and operational efficiencies, CCM executed extremely well in 2021. CCM also made significant strides in expanding its presence in the building envelope with its acquisition of ASP Henry Holdings, Inc. (“Henry”), augmenting our coatings and waterproofing offerings and establishing a stronger foundation of integrated building envelope systems that improve energy efficiency of buildings. Heading into 2022, we believe CCM is well positioned given the strong re-roofing cycle in the United States, increasing demand for energy-efficient products and the broad range of building envelope solutions CCM can offer after the acquisition of Henry.
Our other segments made great strides in both driving growth and profitability improvement leveraging rebounds across end markets. CIT delivered results in line with our expectations in a year when it was tasked with level setting its cost structure in what is proving to be a prolonged, cyclically subdued demand environment. Restructuring activities are substantially completed at CIT, and backlog is back to levels not seen since before COVID-19. CFT exceeded sales expectations, continuing to leverage its focus on manufacturing efficiencies, selling and customer service excellence, and new product innovation. We are encouraged by increasing passenger air travel and improved capital spending in medical and industrial markets, all of which are returning to pre-pandemic levels and are key end markets for CIT and CFT.
We remain balanced and disciplined in our approach to capital deployment. We are maintaining an elevated level of capital expenditures in 2022 to drive future growth, particularly in our building products businesses. We continue to manage an active merger and acquisition pipeline focused on synergistic businesses with attractive growth characteristics that complement our high-margin product lines. We will remain active in returning capital to stockholders, after raising our dividend in 2021 for the 45th consecutive year and returning $428.1 million to stockholders in the form of share repurchases and cash dividends. Finally, we had a successful debt issuance of
18

Table of Contents

$850 million of senior notes at a weighted average rate of 1.6%, which lowered our cost of debt and extended its weighted-average maturity.
We are well on our way to achieving Vision 2025, which continues to give us clear direction and consistency of mission of returns-focused capital deployment, talent management, and drive to create significant value to all of Carlisle’s stakeholders.

Segment Results of Operations
Carlisle Construction Materials (“CCM”)
CCM's world-class team delivered record annual revenues in an extremely difficult operating environment. In anticipation of solid construction market demand in 2021, our employees stood ready to produce; communicated clearly with our channel partners about our raw material requirements; built inventory; increased capacity; and remained steadfast in applying COS to drive efficiencies across CCM. We intend to maintain our pricing discipline in the marketplace, capturing the full value of the Carlisle Experience, which reflects our commitment to servicing the increasingly complex needs of our customers.
CCM continues to benefit from a growing backlog fueled by the strong re-roofing cycle in the United States, an ever-increasing emphasis on the energy-efficiency of buildings, and our investments in expansion of our presence in the building envelope. Our increasing focus on building products is exemplified by our acquisition of Henry, which has delivered excellent results since being acquired in September 2021, and where integration thus far has been smooth. Additionally, re-roofing demand remains strong in the United States market. The lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and raw material and labor constraints have contributed to growing backlogs and significant increases in near-term demand.
With buildings accounting for a significant portion of annual global greenhouse gas emissions, we continue to focus on innovation, emphasizing the development of products that improve energy efficiency. In 2021, we announced plans to invest more than $60 million to build a state-of-the-art LEED certified facility in Sikeston, Missouri where CCM will manufacture energy-efficient polyiso insulation. Within our architectural metals platform, we have set plans in motion for three new locations in underserved regions around the U.S. while making progress consolidating our teams to drive commercial synergies and operational efficiencies. Additionally, we have invested approximately $12 million into a 40,000 square foot research and development technical center in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. This investment will help us to maintain a technological leadership position in the building and construction industry while meeting the demands of climate adaptation for buildings.

Table of Contents

CCM’s operating margin percentage declined in 2021 as pricing actions served to substantially offset raw material inflation on a dollar basis during the year while wage and freight inflation, and higher acquisition and amortization costs from the Henry acquisition more than offset improved operating efficiencies from COS.
Carlisle Interconnect Technologies (“CIT”)
CIT delivered sequential improvement in results throughout a year where the team successfully focused its efforts on consolidating its manufacturing footprint and level setting its cost structure to a cyclically challenged demand backdrop in the global aerospace industry given the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, CIT returned to year-over-year revenue growth in the second half of 2021 with strong backlog building to levels not seen since before the pandemic.
During the third quarter of 2021, we announced plans to exit our manufacturing operations in Carlsbad, California, and relocate the majority of those operations to existing facilities in North America. The project is estimated to take a remaining 12 to 15 months to complete. Total projected costs are expected to approximate $5.6 million, with approximately $4.1 million of costs remaining to be incurred.
During the third quarter of 2020, as a result of the market declines caused by COVID-19, we announced the closure of our manufacturing operations in Kent, Washington, and the relocation of selected operations to existing facilities primarily in North America. This project is substantially complete with cumulative exit and disposal costs of $16.6 million recognized through December 31, 2021.

CIT's revenue decline in 2021 primarily reflected lower volumes, led by the downturn in the commercial aerospace market as a result of slow recovery in build rates on narrow and wide-body aircraft and depletion of inventory in the channel.
CIT’s operating margin percentage decrease in 2021 was driven by lower volumes, raw material and wage inflation, and unfavorable mix, partially offset by savings from COS and lower travel and other administrative costs.
Carlisle Fluid Technologies (“CFT”)
Driven by accelerating industrial capital expenditures as companies expand capacity in response to supply constraints, CFT delivered strong revenue growth, despite the supply chain issues challenging the automotive industry. This growth was supported by a commitment to new product introductions, price discipline and excellent performance by our teams in Europe and China. We also continue to make progress integrating and growing our newer platforms of sealants and adhesives, foam, and powder. With a focus on innovation, a leaner cost structure, and push into automation, we are optimistic about the CFT team's ability to generate sustainable value creation by driving and leveraging solid growth at healthy incremental margins, and, ultimately delivering on its Vision 2025 goals.

International cash and cash equivalents83.8 209.9 
U.S. cash and cash equivalents240.6 687.2 
Total cash and cash equivalents$324.4 $897.1 
We maintain liquidity sources primarily consisting of cash and cash equivalents as well as availability under our Facility. In the near term, cash on hand is our primary source of liquidity. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents compared to December 31, 2020, is primarily related to the acquisition of Henry, share repurchases, payment of dividends to stockholders and capital expenditures, partially offset by a portion of the proceeds from our public offering of $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes due in September 2023 and $550.0 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes due in March 2032, and from the sale of CBF.
In certain countries, primarily China, our cash is subject to local laws and regulations that require government approval for conversion of such cash to U.S. Dollars, as well as for transfer of such cash, both temporarily and permanently outside of that jurisdiction. In addition, upon permanent transfer of cash outside of certain jurisdictions, primarily in Canada and China, we may be subject to withholding taxes, and as such we have accrued $10.4 million in anticipation of those taxes as of December 31, 2021.
We believe we have sufficient cash on hand, availability under the Facility and operating cash flows to meet our business requirements for at least the next 12 months. At the discretion of management, the Company may use available cash on capital expenditures, dividends, common stock repurchases, acquisitions and strategic investments.
We also anticipate we will have sufficient cash on hand, as well as available liquidity under the Facility, to pay outstanding principal balances of our existing notes by the respective maturity dates. Another potential source of liquidity is access to public capital markets, subject to market conditions. We may access the capital markets to repay the outstanding balances of our existing notes. Refer to Debt Instruments below.

Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities of $1,486.4 million for 2021 primarily reflected the acquisition of Henry for $1,571.3 million, net of cash acquired, capital expenditures of $134.8 million and investment in securities of $30.2 million, partially offset by proceeds of $247.7 million from the sale of CBF. Cash used in investing activities of $122.6 million for 2020 primarily reflected capital expenditures of $95.5 million and the acquisition of Motion Tech Automation, LLC, net of cash acquired, for $33.0 million.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities of $488.1 million for 2021 primarily reflected net proceeds from our September public offering of $850.0 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes and proceeds from the exercise of stock options, net of withholding tax, of $77.4 million, partially offset by share repurchases of $315.6 million, and cash dividend payments of $112.5 million, reflecting the increased annual dividend of $2.13 per share. Cash used in financing activities was $24.7 million for 2020. Net proceeds from our February notes offering, partially offset by the early redemption of our 2020 Notes, and financing costs associated with our February notes offering, totaled $458.0 million. Additionally in 2020, we used cash of $382.4 million for share repurchases and $112.4 million for cash dividend payments.
Share Repurchases
On February 5, 2019, the Board approved a 5 million share increase in the Company's stock repurchase program. On February 2, 2021, the Board approved an additional 5 million share increase in the Company's stock repurchase program. We repurchased approximately 1.9 million shares in 2021 as part of our plan to return capital to stockholders, utilizing $315.6 million of our cash on hand. As of December 31, 2021, we had authority to repurchase 5.1 million shares.
Purchases may occur from time to time over an indefinite period of time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions and through block trades, and no maximum purchase price has been set. The decision to repurchase shares depends on price, availability and other corporate developments and is subject to the discretion of the Board. The Company plans to continue to repurchase shares in 2022 on an opportunistic basis.
We intend to pay dividends to our stockholders and have increased our dividend rate annually for the past 45 years. On February 8, 2022, the Board declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.54 per share, payable on March 1, 2022, to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 18, 2022.
Debt Instruments
Senior Notes
On September 28, 2021, the Company completed a public offering of $550.0 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes with a stated interest rate of 2.20% due March 1, 2032 (the “2032 Notes”). The 2032 Notes were issued at a discount of $4.8 million, resulting in proceeds to the Company of $545.2 million. The Company incurred costs to issue the 2032 Notes of approximately $1.1 million, inclusive of credit rating agencies’ and attorneys’ fees and other costs. The discount and issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2032 Notes. Interest is paid each March 1 and September 1, commencing March 1, 2022.
On September 28, 2021, the Company completed a public offering of $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes with a stated interest rate of 0.55% due September 1, 2023 (the “2023 Notes” and together with the 2032 Notes the "Notes") and callable beginning on September 1, 2022. The 2023 Notes were issued at a discount of $2.6 million, resulting in proceeds to the Company of $297.4 million. The Company incurred costs to issue the 2023 Notes of approximately $0.6 million, inclusive of credit rating agencies’ and attorneys’ fees and other costs. The discount and issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2023 Notes. Interest is paid each March 1 and September 1, commencing March 1, 2022.
We also have unsecured senior unsecured notes outstanding of $350.0 million due November 15, 2022 (at a stated interest rate of 3.75%), $400.0 million due December 1, 2024 (at a stated interest rate of 3.5%), $600.0 million due December 1, 2027 (at a stated interest rate of 3.75%) and $750 million due March 1, 2030 (at a stated interest rate of 2.75%) that are rated BBB by Standard & Poor’s and Baa2 by Moody’s.

Revolving Credit Facility
On September 14, 2021, the Company entered into a first amendment (the "Amendment") to the Company's Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the "Facility") administered by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Among other things, the Amendment revised the referenced benchmark interest rates to provide for a successor interest rate to LIBOR due to the cessation of certain LIBOR rates as of December 31, 2021.
During 2021, borrowings and repayments under the Facility totaled $650.0 million with a weighted average interest rate of 1.1%. During 2020, borrowings and repayments under the Facility totaled $500.0 million with a weighted average interest rate of 1.9%. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings under the Facility and $1.0 billion of availability.
Debt Covenants
We are required to meet various restrictive covenants and limitations under our senior notes and the Facility including certain leverage ratios, interest coverage ratios and limits on outstanding debt balances held by certain subsidiaries. We were in compliance with all covenants and limitations as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Refer to Note 14 for further information on our debt instruments.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1. In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company’s management must make informed decisions which impact the reported amounts and related disclosures. Such decisions include the selection of the appropriate accounting principles to be applied and assumptions on which to base estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates, including those related to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, valuation of long-lived assets, revenue recognition, income taxes and extended product warranties on an ongoing basis. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, our observation of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Business Combinations
As noted in Executive Overview we have a history and a strategy of acquiring businesses. We account for these business combinations as required by GAAP under the acquisition method of accounting, which requires us to recognize the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Deferred taxes are recorded for any differences between fair value and tax basis of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and can vary based on the structure of the acquisition as to whether it is a taxable or non-taxable transaction. To the extent the purchase price of the acquired business exceeds the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including deferred income taxes recorded in connection with the transaction, such excess is recognized as goodwill (see further below for our critical accounting estimate regarding post-acquisition accounting for goodwill). The most critical areas of judgment in applying the acquisition method include selecting the appropriate valuation techniques and assumptions that are used to measure the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at fair value, particularly for intangible assets, contingent consideration, acquired tangible assets such as property, plant and equipment, and inventory.

The key techniques and assumptions utilized by type of major acquired asset or liability generally include:

Discount rates
In selecting techniques and assumptions noted above, we generally engage third-party, independent valuation professionals to assist us in developing the assumptions and applying the valuation techniques to a particular business combination transaction. In particular, the discount rates selected are compared to and evaluated with (i) the industry weighted-average cost of capital, (ii) the inherent risks associated with each type of asset and (iii) the level and timing of future cash flows appropriately reflecting market participant assumptions.
As noted above, goodwill represents a residual amount of purchase price. However, the primary items that generate goodwill include the value of the synergies between the acquired company and our existing businesses and the value of the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualifies for recognition as an intangible asset. Refer to Note 3 for more information regarding business combinations, specifically the items that generated goodwill in our recent acquisitions.
Subsequent Measurement of Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually, or more often if impairment indicators are present, for impairment at a reporting unit level. Goodwill is tested for impairment via a one-step process by comparing the fair value of goodwill with its carrying value. We recognize an impairment for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units based on the income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method and the market approach utilizing the public company market multiple method. The key techniques and assumptions generally include:
Valuation TechniqueKey Assumptions
Discounted future cash flows
Estimated future revenues
EBITDA margins
Discount rates
Market multiple method
Peer public company group
Financial performance of reporting units relative to peer public company group
In 2021, the CIT reporting unit was bifurcated into two reporting units, CIT Aerospace, Defense and Industrial ("AD&I") and CIT Medical, to align with the segment manager's review of the business. The goodwill previously
27

Table of Contents

assigned to the CIT reporting unit was allocated to the new reporting units based on their relative fair values. Accordingly, we have determined that we have four reporting units as of December 31, 2021 and three reporting units as of December 31, 2020. Goodwill has been allocated to the reporting units as follows:

Annual Impairment Test
Effective November 1, 2021, we changed our goodwill impairment test from October 1 to November 1 to better align with our annual budgeting and forecasting process. For 2021, this resulted in us performing two separate impairment tests as of October 1, 2021 and November 1, 2021. For the October 1 and November 1, 2021 impairment tests, the CCM reporting unit was tested for impairment using a qualitative approach. Under this approach, an entity may assess qualitative factors as well as relevant events and circumstances to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Through the results of our analysis, we determined that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the CCM reporting unit was less than its carrying value and thus, a quantitative analysis was not performed. The CIT AD&I, CIT Medical and CFT reporting units were tested for impairment using the quantitative approach described above, resulting in fair values that substantially exceeded the carrying values, with the exception of CIT Medical, which exceeded its carrying value by approximately 10%.
We will continue to closely monitor actual results versus expectations as well as whether and to what extent any significant changes in current events or conditions, including changes to the impacts of COVID-19 on our business, result in corresponding changes to our expectations about future estimated cash flows, discount rates and market multiples. If our adjusted expectations of the operating results, both in size and timing, of CIT Medical do not materialize, if the discount rate increases (based on increases in interest rates, market rates of return or market volatility) or if market multiples decline, we may be required to record goodwill impairment charges, which may be material.
While we believe our conclusions regarding the estimates of fair value of our reporting units are appropriate, these estimates are subject to uncertainty and by nature include judgments and estimates regarding various factors. These factors include the rate and extent of growth in the markets that our reporting units serve, the realization of future sales price and volume increases, fluctuations in exchange rates, fluctuations in price and availability of key raw materials, future operating efficiencies and, as it pertains to discount rates, the volatility in interest rates and costs of equity. 
Refer to Note 12 for more information regarding goodwill.
Subsequent Measurement of Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
As discussed above, indefinite-lived intangible assets are recognized and recorded at their acquisition-date fair value. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested annually at the appropriate unit of account, which generally equals the individual asset, or more often if impairment indicators are present. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment via a one-step process by comparing the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. We recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the intangible asset's fair value. We generally estimate the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets consistent with the techniques noted above using our expectations about future cash flows, discount rates and royalty rates for purposes of the annual test. We monitor for significant changes in those assumptions during interim reporting periods. We also periodically re-assess indefinite-lived intangible assets as to whether its useful lives can be determined, and if so, we would begin amortizing any applicable intangible asset. 
Annual Impairment Test 
Effective November 1, 2021, we changed our indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test from October 1 to November 1 to better align with our annual budgeting and forecasting process. For 2021 this resulted in us
28

Table of Contents

performing two separate impairment tests as of October 1, 2021 and November 1, 2021. For the October 1 and November 1, 2021 impairment tests, the CCM indefinite-lived intangible assets were tested for impairment using a qualitative approach. The CIT AD&I, CIT Medical and CFT indefinite-lived intangible assets were tested for impairment using the quantitative approach described above, resulting in fair values that substantially exceeded the carrying values, with the exception of two trade names with an aggregate carrying value of $43.3 million that exceeded their carrying amounts by less than 10%.
We will continue to closely monitor actual results versus expectations as well as whether and to what extent any significant changes in current events or conditions, including changes to the impacts of COVID-19 on our business, result in corresponding changes to our expectations about future estimated revenues and discount rates.
Refer to Note 12 for more information regarding intangible assets.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets or asset groups, including amortizable intangible assets, are tested for recoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount of the asset or asset group. For purposes of testing for impairment, we group our long-lived assets classified as held and used at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets and liabilities, which means that in many cases multiple assets are tested for recovery as a group. Our asset groupings vary based on the related business in which the long-lived assets are employed and the interrelationship between those long-lived assets in producing net cash flows; for example, multiple manufacturing facilities may work in concert with one another or may work on a stand-alone basis to produce net cash flows. We utilize our long-lived assets in multiple industries and economic environments and our asset groupings reflect these various factors.
We monitor the operating and cash flow results of our long-lived assets or asset groups classified as held and used to identify whether events and circumstances indicate the remaining useful lives of those assets should be adjusted, or if the carrying value of those assets or asset groups may not be recoverable. Undiscounted estimated future cash flows are compared to the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group in the event indicators of impairment are identified. In developing our estimates of future undiscounted cash flows, we utilize our internal estimates of future revenues, costs and other net cash flows from operating the long-lived asset or asset group over the life of the asset or primary asset, if an asset group. This requires us to make judgments about future levels of sales volume, pricing, raw material costs and other operating expenses.
If the undiscounted estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount, we determine the fair value of the asset or asset group and record an impairment charge in current earnings to the extent carrying value exceeds fair value. Fair values may be determined based on estimated discounted cash flows, by prices for like or similar assets in similar markets or a combination of both. All of our asset groups were recoverable as of December 31, 2021.
Long-lived assets or asset groups that are part of a disposal group that meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale are not assessed for impairment, but rather a loss on sale is recorded against the disposal group if fair value, less cost to sell, of the disposal group is less than its carrying value. If the disposal group’s fair value exceeds its carrying value, we record a gain, assuming all other criteria for a sale are met, when the transaction closes.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our products or services. Revenue is measured as the amount of total consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Total expected consideration, in certain cases, is estimated at each reporting period, including interim periods, and is subject to change with variability dependent on future events, such as customer behavior related to future purchase volumes, returns, early payment discounts and other customer allowances. Estimates for rights of return, discounts and rebates to customers, and other adjustments for variable consideration are provided for at the time of sale as a deduction to revenue, based on an analysis of historical experience and actual sales data. Changes in these estimates are reflected as an adjustment to revenue in the period identified. Sales, value added and other taxes collected concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.
We receive payment at the inception of the contract for separately priced extended service warranties, and revenue is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contracts. The term of these warranties ranges from five to 40 years. The weighted average life of the contracts as of December 31, 2021, is approximately 20 years.
29

Table of Contents

Additionally, critical judgments and estimates related to revenue recognition relative to certain customer contracts in our CIT and CFT segments, in which they are contract manufacturers or where they have entered into an agreement to provide both services (engineering and design) and products resulting from those services, include the following:
Determination of whether revenue is earned at a "point-in-time" or "over time": Where contracts provide for the manufacture of highly customized products with no alternative use and provide CIT or CFT the right to payment for work performed to date, including a normal margin for that effort, we have concluded those contracts require the recognition of revenue over time.
Measurement of revenue using the key inputs of expected gross margin and inventory in our possession. We utilize an estimate of expected gross margin based on historical margin patterns and management’s experience, which vary based on the customers and end markets being evaluated. There are multiple unique customer contracts at CIT or CFT. Accordingly, the estimate of expected margin is done for each customer discretely. We review the margins for these categories as contracts, customers and product profiles change over time so that the margin expectations reflect the best available data for each category.
Income Taxes
Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best estimate of current and future taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates are required in the determination of the consolidated income tax expense.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and its reported amounts in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets in the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies and results of recent operations.
We believe that it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain U.S. federal, state and foreign net operating loss, and credit carryforwards will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, we have provided a valuation allowance of $29.7 million on the deferred tax assets related to these carryforwards.
We (1) record unrecognized tax benefits as liabilities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740") and (2) adjust these liabilities when our judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Because of the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is available.
Extended Product Warranty Reserves
We offer extended warranty contracts on sales of certain products, the most significant being those offered on our installed roofing systems within the CCM segment. Current costs of services performed under these contracts are expensed as incurred. We also record an additional loss and a corresponding reserve if the total expected costs of providing services under the contract exceed unamortized deferred revenues equal to such excess. We estimate total expected warranty costs using actuarially derived estimates of future costs of servicing the warranties. The key inputs that are utilized to develop these estimates include historical claims experience by type of roofing membrane, location, and labor and material costs. The estimates of the volume and severity of these claims and associated costs are dependent upon the above assumptions and future results could differ from our current expectations. We currently do not have any material loss reserves recorded associated with our extended product warranties.

Earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT"), adjusted EBIT, adjusted earnings before income, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and adjusted EBITDA margin are intended to provide investors and others with information about the Company's and its segments' performance without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure core operating results due to potential variability across periods based on the timing, frequency and magnitude of such items. As a result, management believes that these measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze trends in the Company’s business and evaluate the Company’s performance relative to similarly-situated companies. This information differs from net income and operating income determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company's and its segments' EBIT, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin follows. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the potential or expected impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Forward-looking statements generally use words such as "expect," "foresee," "anticipate," "believe," "project," "should," "estimate," "will," "plans," "intends," "forecast," and similar expressions, and reflect our expectations concerning the future. Such statements are made based on known events and circumstances at the time of publication and, as such, are subject in the future to unforeseen risks and uncertainties. It is possible that our future performance may differ materially from current expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements, due to a variety of factors such as: risks from the global COVID-19 pandemic, including, for example, expectations regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our businesses, including on customer demand, supply chains and distribution systems, production, our ability to maintain appropriate labor levels, our ability to ship products to our customers, our future results, or our full-year financial outlook; increasing price and product/service competition by foreign and domestic competitors, including new entrants; technological developments and changes; the ability to continue to introduce competitive new products and services on a timely, cost-effective basis; our mix of products/services; increases in raw material costs which cannot be recovered in product pricing; domestic and foreign governmental and public policy changes including environmental and industry regulations; threats associated with and efforts to combat terrorism; protection and validity of patent and other intellectual property rights; the identification of strategic acquisition targets and our successful completion of any transaction and integration of our strategic acquisitions; our successful completion of strategic dispositions; the cyclical nature of our businesses; the impact of information technology, cybersecurity or data security breaches at our businesses or third parties; and the outcome of pending and future litigation and governmental proceedings; and the other factors discussed in the reports we file with or furnish to the SEC from time to time. In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions and growth rates, the condition of the financial and credit markets and general domestic and international economic conditions, including interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations. Further, any conflict in the international arena may adversely affect general market conditions and our future performance. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which that statement is made, and we undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances, including unanticipated events, after the date on which that statement is made, unless otherwise required by law. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all of those factors, nor can it assess the impact of each of those factors on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risk in the form of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices for raw materials. We may, from time to time, enter into derivative financial instruments to manage these risks; however, we do not utilize such instruments or contracts for speculative or trading purposes. In the event that we enter into a derivative financial instrument, it is possible that such future dated contracts could no longer serve as a hedge if the projected cash flow does not occur as anticipated at the time of contract initiation. 
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risks as a result of our borrowing and investing activities, which principally includes long-term borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund our business operations and capital requirements. We may enter into interest rate swaps from time to time to manage our mix of fixed and variable interest rate debt effectively. We may enter into other interest rate derivatives such as treasury locks or zero cost collars to manage forecasted interest rates associated with bond offerings. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, there were no interest rate swaps or other derivative instruments in place and, at both dates, all of our long-term debt was fixed-rate and U.S. Dollar denominated. We also have a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility that allows for borrowings at a variable interest rate. We had no outstanding borrowings under this facility as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The nature and amount of our long-term debt may vary from time to time as a result of business requirements, market conditions and other factors. We consider the risk to our results of operations from changes in market rates of interest to be minimal as our interest bearing debt instruments are fixed-rate. 
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
A portion of our operating cash flows are denominated in foreign currencies. As such we are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We are primarily exposed to the exchange rates of currencies including the Chinese Renminbi, Euro, British Pound, Mexican Peso, Canadian Dollar and Japanese Yen. We continually evaluate our foreign currency exposure based on current market conditions and the locations in which we conduct our business. We manage most of our foreign currency exposure on a consolidated basis, which allows us to net certain exposures and take advantage of natural offsets. In order to mitigate foreign currency risk, we may, from time to time, enter into derivative financial instruments, generally foreign currency forward contracts, to hedge the cash flows related to certain foreign currency denominated sales and purchase transactions expected in the near term and the related recognized trade receivable or payable. The gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the value of the related exposures. It is our policy to enter into foreign currency derivative financial instruments only to the extent considered necessary to meet the objectives set forth above. We generally do not hedge the risk of foreign currency net investments into U.S. Dollars for financial reporting.
We had foreign exchange contracts with maturities less than one year for instruments that are designated and qualify as an accounting cash flow hedge with an aggregate U.S. Dollar equivalent notional value of $127.6 million and $93.5 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The gross fair value was $2.7 million and $5.0 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the contracts is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is recognized in operating income when the underlying forecasted transaction impacts earnings. We also had foreign exchange contracts with maturities less than one year for instruments that are not designed as a cash flow hedge, but nonetheless are entered into as an economic hedge of certain foreign currency risk with an aggregate U.S. Dollar equivalent notional value of $82.5 million and $63.7 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The gross fair value was $0.2 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from these contracts are not significant and are recognized in other non-operating expense, net and partially offset corresponding foreign exchange gains and losses on the underlying items being economically hedged.
The near-term sensitivity of these contracts to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is also minimal as they are scheduled to mature within 12 months. Further, changes in the fair value of these contracts will be offset by changes in the cash flows of the underlying foreign currency denominated sales, purchases, assets and liabilities which the contracts are intended to mitigate (both accounting and economic hedges).

Commodity Price Risk
We continually address the impact of changes in commodity prices on our results of operations and cash flow. Our exposure to changes in commodity prices is principally indirect as we do not directly purchase exchange-traded commodities, but rather purchase raw materials that are a result of further downstream processing (as noted in Item 1 of this Form 10-K), primarily inputs resulting from processing crude oil, natural gas, iron ore, gold, silver and copper. We generally manage the risk of changes in commodity prices that impact our raw material costs by seeking to (i) offset increased costs through increases in prices, (ii) alter the nature and mix of raw materials used to manufacture our finished goods or (iii) enter into commodity-linked sales or purchase contracts, all to the extent possible based on competitive and other economic factors. We may also from time to time enter into derivative financial instruments to mitigate such impact; however, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had no derivative financial instruments in place.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 
To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Carlisle Companies Incorporated
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Carlisle Companies Incorporated (the "Company") as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 17, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Goodwill – CIT Medical Reporting Unit – Refer to Notes 1 and 12 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units using the income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method and market approach utilizing the public company market multiple method. The determination of the fair value using the discounted cash flow method requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margins, and the discount rate. The determination of the fair value using the market approach requires management to make significant assumptions related to market revenue multiples and EBITDA multiples from within a peer public company group. The fair value of the CIT Medical reporting unit exceeded its carrying values and, therefore, no impairment was recognized.
36

Table of Contents

Given the significant judgments management makes to estimate the fair value of CIT Medical reporting unit, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenues and EBITDA margins, selection of the discount rate, and the selection of multiples applied to revenue and EBITDA required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the forecasts of future revenues and EBITDA margins (“forecasts”), the selection of the discount rate, and the selection of comparable market revenue and EBITDA multiples for the CIT Medical reporting unit included the following procedures:
We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s goodwill impairment evaluation, including those over the determination of the fair value of the CIT Medical reporting unit, such as controls related to management’s forecasts and the selection of discount rates and comparable market revenue and EBITDA multiples.
We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecasts by comparing the forecasts to (1) historical results of the Company and its industry, (2) internal communications to management, and (3) forecasted information included in industry reports of the Company and companies in its peer group.
With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the discount rate, including testing the underlying source information and the mathematical accuracy of the calculations, and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rate selected by management.
With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the revenue and EBITDA multiples, including testing the underlying source information and mathematical accuracy of the calculations, and evaluating the appropriateness of the Company’s selection of companies in its peer public company group.
Acquisitions – ASP Henry Holdings, Inc. – Intangible Assets – Refer to Notes 1 and 3 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company completed the acquisition of ASP Henry Holdings, Inc. (“Henry”) for $1,605.6 million on September 1, 2021. The Company accounted for the acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, including trade names of $219.3 million and customer relationships of $915.9 million. The Company has not yet finalized the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets, intangible assets and liabilities acquired. Management estimated the fair value of the trade names using the relief from royalty method and customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method. The fair value determination of the trade names required management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to future revenues and the selection of the royalty rate and discount rate. The fair value determination of the customer relationships required management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to future revenues attributable to existing customers, future EBITDA margins and the selection of the customer attrition rate and discount rate.
We identified the purchase accounting valuations of the trade names and customer relationships for Henry as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management makes to fair value these assets. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s forecasts of future revenues, future EBITDA margins, and the selection of the royalty rate, customer attrition rate, and discount rate.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the forecasts of future revenues, future EBITDA margins, and the selection of the royalty rate, customer attrition rate, and discount rate for the trade names and customer relationships included the following:
We tested the effectiveness of controls over the valuation of the trade names and customer relationships, including management’s controls over forecasts of future revenues, future EBITDA margins, and the selection of the royalty rate, customer attrition rate, and discount rate.
We assessed the reasonableness of management’s forecasts of future revenues and future EBITDA margins by comparing the projections to historical results and certain peer companies.
With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the (1) valuation methodology; (2) customer attrition rate by testing the mathematical accuracy of the rate used and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data supporting the attrition rate assumption; (3) royalty rate by testing the mathematical accuracy of the rate and comparing it to market observations; and (4) discount rates, which included testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rate, testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculations and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rate selected by management.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 
To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Carlisle Companies Incorporated
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Carlisle Companies Incorporated (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, of the Company and our report dated February 17, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at ASP Henry Holdings, Inc. (“Henry") which was acquired on September 1, 2021 and whose financial statements constitute approximately 27% of total assets and approximately 4% of revenues of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting of Henry.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1—Summary of Accounting Policies
Nature of Business
Carlisle Companies Incorporated, its wholly owned subsidiaries and their subsidiaries, referred to herein as the “Company” or “Carlisle,” is a diversified, global manufacturer of highly-engineered products, including innovative building envelope products and energy-efficient solutions for customers creating sustainable buildings of the future sold through its Carlisle Construction Materials ("CCM") segment and family of leading brands, interconnect products sold in the aerospace, medical technologies and general industrial markets through its Carlisle Interconnect Technologies ("CIT") segment and finishing equipment and systems sold through Carlisle Fluid Technologies ("CFT") segment. The Company markets its products to original equipment manufacturers, distributors and directly to end-users. 
Basis of Presentation 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The Company has reclassified certain prior periods' amounts to conform with the current period presentation of the revenues by country tables in Note 2—Segment Information to present Middle East revenues combined with Asia, as opposed to the previous presentation combined with Africa, and to combine Canada and Mexico revenues into North America (excluding U.S.).
Use of Estimates 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 
Foreign Currency Matters 
The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries outside the United States of America ("United States" or "U.S.") is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated to the U.S. Dollar at the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions and from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities and associated income statement activity of foreign subsidiaries where the functional currency is the U.S. Dollar and the records are maintained in the local currency are included in other non-operating expense, net.
Discontinued Operations
The results of operations for the Company's Carlisle Brake & Friction ("CBF") segment have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Assets and liabilities subject to the sale agreement for CBF have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 4 for additional information.
Revenue Recognition 
Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the Company’s products or services. Revenue is measured as the amount of total consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Total expected consideration, in certain cases, is estimated at each reporting period, including interim periods, and is subject to change with variability dependent on future events, such as customer behavior related to future purchase volumes, returns, early payment discounts and other customer allowances. Estimates for rights of return, discounts and rebates to customers and other adjustments for variable consideration are provided for at the time of sale as a deduction to revenue, based on an analysis of historical experience and actual sales data. Changes in these estimates are reflected as an adjustment to revenue in the period identified. Sales, value added and other taxes collected concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.
44

Table of Contents

The Company receives payment at the inception of the contract for separately priced extended service warranties, and revenue is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contracts. The term of these warranties ranges from five to 40 years. The weighted average life of the contracts as of December 31, 2021, is approximately 20 years.
The Company recognizes revenue over-time for certain contracts that provide for the manufacture of highly customized products with no alternative use and provide the Company the right to payment for work performed to date, including a normal margin for that effort.
Refer to Note 6 for further information on revenue recognition. 
Costs to Obtain a Contract
Costs of obtaining or fulfilling a contract are recognized as expense as incurred, as the amortization period of these costs would be one year or less. These costs generally include sales commissions and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Shipping and Handling Costs 
Costs incurred to physically transfer product to customer locations are recorded as a component of cost of goods sold. Charges passed on to customers are recorded into revenues.
Other Non-operating Expense, net 
Other non-operating expense, net primarily includes foreign currency exchange (gains) losses, indemnification (gains) losses associated with acquired businesses, (income) loss from equity method investments and (gains) losses on sales of a business.
Stock-Based Compensation 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the fair-value method. Accordingly, equity-classified stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period. The requisite service period generally matches the stated vesting period of the award but may be shorter if, under the award’s terms, the award fully vests upon the employee's retirement or termination from the Company. The Company recognizes compensation cost for awards that have graded vesting features under the graded vesting method, which considers each separately vesting tranche as though they were, in substance, multiple awards.
Additionally, the Company accounts for liability-classified stock-based compensation cost under the fair value method, with the fair value of the award remeasured as of the date of the financial position. The Company recognizes compensation cost over the requisite service period based on the remeasured fair value of the award. The requisite service period generally matches the stated vesting period of the award but may be shorter if, under the award’s terms, the award fully vests upon the employee's retirement or termination from the Company.
The Company also accounts for forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur. Refer to Note 7 for additional information regarding stock-based compensation.
Income Taxes 
Income taxes are recorded in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, which includes an estimate of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. 
Cash Equivalents 
Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired are considered cash equivalents.

Table of Contents

Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses 
Receivables are stated at amortized cost net of allowance for credit losses. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its customers’ current creditworthiness, as determined by the review of their credit information to determine if events have occurred subsequent to the recognition of revenue and the related receivable that provides evidence that such receivable will be realized in an amount less than that recognized at the time of sale. Estimates of credit losses are based on historical losses, current economic conditions, geographic considerations, and in some cases, evaluating specific customer accounts for risk of loss.
Changes in the Company's allowance for credit losses by segment follows:

$3.1 $1.2 $1.0 $— $5.3 
Inventories 
Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value with cost determined primarily on an average cost basis. Cost of inventories includes direct as well as certain indirect costs associated with the acquisition and production process. These costs include raw materials, direct and indirect labor and manufacturing overhead. Manufacturing overhead includes materials, depreciation and amortization related to property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets used directly and indirectly in the acquisition and production of inventory, and costs related to the Company’s distribution network such as inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, internal transfer costs and other such costs associated with preparing the Company’s products for sale. Refer to Note 10 for further information regarding inventories.
Property, Plant and Equipment 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost including interest costs associated with qualifying capital additions. Costs allocated to property, plant and equipment of acquired companies are based on estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. Depreciation is principally computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Asset lives are generally 20 to 40 years for buildings, five to 15 years for machinery and equipment and two to 20 years for leasehold improvements. Leasehold improvements are amortized based on the shorter of the underlying lease term or the asset’s estimated useful life. Refer to Note 11 for further information regarding property, plant and equipment. 
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets 
Long-lived assets or asset groups, including amortizable intangible assets, are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The Company groups its long-lived assets classified as held and used at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets and liabilities for purposes of testing for impairment. The Company’s asset groupings vary based on the related business in which the long-lived assets are employed and the interrelationship between those long-lived assets in producing net cash flows; for example, multiple manufacturing facilities may work in concert with one another or may work on a stand-alone basis to produce net cash flows. The Company utilizes its long-lived assets in multiple industries and economic environments and its asset groupings reflect these various factors. 
The Company monitors the operating and cash flow results of its long-lived assets or asset groups classified as held and used to identify whether events and circumstances indicate the remaining useful lives of those assets should be adjusted or if the carrying value of those assets or asset groups may not be recoverable. Undiscounted estimated future cash flows are compared with the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group in the event indicators of impairment are identified. If the undiscounted estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount, the Company determines the fair value of the asset or asset group and records an impairment charge in current
46

Table of Contents

earnings to the extent carrying value exceeds fair value. Fair values may be determined based on estimated discounted cash flows by prices for like or similar assets in similar markets or a combination of both. 
Long-lived assets or asset groups that are part of a disposal group that meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale are not assessed for impairment, but rather a loss is recorded against the disposal group if fair value, less cost to sell, of the disposal group is less than its carrying value.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets 
Intangible assets are recognized and recorded at their acquisition date fair values. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Definite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of acquired customer relationships, patents and technology, certain trade names and non-compete agreements. The Company determines the useful life of its definite-lived intangible assets based on multiple factors including the size and make-up of the acquired customer base, the expected dissipation of those customers over time, the Company’s own experience in the particular industry, the impact of known trends such as technological obsolescence, product demand or other factors and the period over which expected cash flows are used to measure the fair value of the intangible asset at acquisition. The Company periodically re-assesses the useful lives of its definite-lived intangible assets when events or circumstances indicate that useful lives have significantly changed from the previous estimate. 
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested annually, or more often if impairment indicators are present, for impairment via a one-step process by comparing the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the intangible asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded in current earnings for the excess. The Company estimates the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets based on the income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method. Effective November 1, 2021, the Company changed its indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test from October 1 to November 1 to better align with its annual budgeting and forecasting process. For 2021, this resulted in the Company performing two separate tests as of October 1, 2021 and November 1, 2021. The Company periodically re-assesses indefinite-lived intangible assets as to whether their useful lives can be determined and, if so, begins amortizing any applicable intangible asset.
Goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually, or more often if impairment indicators are present, for impairment at a reporting unit level. Effective November 1, 2021, the Company changed its goodwill impairment test from October 1 to November 1 to better align with its annual budgeting and forecasting process. For 2021, this resulted in the Company performing two separate tests as of October 1, 2021 and November 1, 2021. In 2021, the CIT reporting unit was bifurcated into two reporting units, CIT Aerospace, Defense and Industrial ("AD&I") and CIT Medical, to align with the segment manager's review of the business. The goodwill previously assigned to the CIT reporting unit was allocated to the new reporting units based on their relative fair values. As such, the Company determined it has four reporting units and three reportable segments. As noted above, the CBF segment and corresponding reporting unit have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Refer to Note 12 for additional information regarding goodwill and other intangible assets.
Extended Product Warranty Reserves 
The Company offers extended warranty contracts on sales of certain products; the most significant being those offered on its installed roofing systems within the CCM segment. Current costs of services performed under these contracts are expensed as incurred and included in cost of goods sold. The Company would record a reserve within accrued expenses if the total expected costs of providing services at a product line level exceed unamortized deferred revenues. Total expected costs of providing extended product warranty services are actuarially determined using standard quantitative measures based on historical claims experience and management judgment. Refer to Note 6 and Note 13 for additional information regarding deferred revenue and extended product warranties.
Pension 
The Company maintains defined benefit pension plans primarily for certain domestic employees. The annual net periodic benefit cost and projected benefit obligations related to these plans are determined on an actuarial basis annually on December 31, unless a remeasurement event occurs in an interim period. This determination requires assumptions to be made concerning general economic conditions (particularly interest rates), expected return on plan assets, increases to compensation levels and mortality rate trends. Changes in the assumptions to reflect actual experience can result in a change in the net periodic benefit cost and projected benefit obligations. 
47

Table of Contents

The defined benefit pension plans’ assets are measured at fair value annually on December 31, unless a remeasurement event occurs in an interim period. The Company uses the market related valuation method to determine the value of plan assets for purposes of determining the expected return on plan assets component of net periodic benefit cost. The market related valuation method recognizes the change of the fair value of the plan assets over five years. If actual experience differs from these long-term assumptions, the difference is recorded as an actuarial gain (loss) and amortized into earnings over a period of time based on the average future service period, which may cause the expense related to providing these benefits to increase or decrease. Refer to Note 15 for additional information regarding these plans and the associated plan assets. 
Leases 
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception by evaluating if the asset is explicitly or implicitly identified or distinct, if the Company will receive substantially all of the economic benefit or if the lessor has an economic benefit and the ability to substitute the asset. Operating leases are included in other long-term assets, accrued and other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities.
Right-of-use assets ("ROU assets") represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of fixed and known lease payments over the lease term. Variable payments are not included in the ROU asset or lease liability and can vary from period to period based on the use of an asset during the period or the Company's proportionate share of common costs. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, and lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has lease agreements with lease components and non-lease components. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to account for these components as a single lease component, for all classes of underlying assets. Refer to Note 17 for additional information regarding leases.
Contingencies and Insurance Recoveries 
The Company is exposed to losses related to various potential claims related to its employee obligations and other matters in the normal course of business, including commercial, employee, environmental or other regulatory litigation. The Company records a liability related to such potential claims, both those reported to the Company and incurred but not yet reported, when probable and reasonably estimable. The Company's policy is to expense legal defense costs related to such matters as incurred.
The Company maintains occurrence-based insurance contracts related to certain contingent losses primarily workers’ compensation, medical and dental, general liability, property and product liability claims up to applicable retention limits as part of its risk management strategy. The Company records a recovery under these insurance contracts when such recovery is deemed probable. Insurance proceeds in excess of realized losses are gain contingencies and not recorded until realized. Refer to Note 17 for additional information regarding contingencies and insurance recoveries.
Derivative Instruments and Hedge Accounting 
From time to time, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments to hedge various risks to cash flows or the fair value of recognized assets and liabilities, including those arising from fluctuations in foreign currencies, interest rates and commodities. The Company recognizes these instruments at the time they are entered into and measures them at fair value. For instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges under GAAP, the changes in fair value period-to-period, less any excluded components, are classified in accumulated other comprehensive income, until the underlying transaction being hedged impacts earnings. The excluded components are recorded in current period income. For those instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges under GAAP, the changes in fair value period-to-period of both the derivative instrument and underlying hedged item are recognized currently in earnings. For those instruments not designated or do not qualify as hedges under GAAP, the changes in fair value period-to-period are classified immediately in current period income, within other

The Company funded the acquisition with borrowings from its Revolving Credit Facility (the "Facility") and cash on hand. The Company subsequently repaid the borrowings from the Facility with proceeds from its public offering of $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 0.55% senior notes due in September 2023 and $550.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2.20% senior notes due in March 2032 (refer to Note 12).
Henry contributed revenues of $177.3 million and operating income of $6.3 million for the period from September 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021. Operating income for the period from September 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021, includes $2.2 million of incremental cost of goods sold related to measuring inventory at fair value, and $16.3 million and $1.4 million of amortization expense of customer relationships and acquired technology, respectively. Henry's results of operations are reported as part of the CCM segment.
The Henry amounts included in the pro forma financial information below are based on Henry’s historical results and therefore may not be indicative of the actual results if Henry had been owned by the Company on January 1, 2020. The pro forma adjustments represent management’s best estimates based on information available at the time the pro forma information was prepared and may differ from the adjustments that may have been required had the Company owned Henry on January 1, 2020. Accordingly, pro forma information should not be relied upon as being indicative of the historical results that would have been realized had the acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2020 or the results that may be achieved in the future.
The unaudited combined pro forma financial information presented below includes revenues and income from continuing operations, net of tax, of the Company as if the business combination had occurred on January 1, 2020, based on the purchases price allocation presented below:

The pro forma financial information also reflects cost of goods sold related to the fair valuation of inventory described above, and $22.2 million of acquisition-related costs primarily related to professional fees, as if they occurred in 2020.
The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire Henry and the preliminary allocation of the purchase price among the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires that consideration be allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based upon their acquisition date fair values with the remainder allocated to goodwill.

Note 6—Revenue Recognition
Performance Obligations
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer in exchange for payment and is the unit of account. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation to transfer individual goods or services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the contract's transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation using the Company’s best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is observable prices.
The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, and control is transferred, either at a point in time or over time as work progresses. For the majority of the Company’s products, control is transferred, and revenue is recognized when the product is shipped from the manufacturing facility or delivered to the customer, depending on shipping terms. Revenue is recognized over time primarily for separately priced extended service warranties in the CCM segment and certain highly customized product contracts in the CIT and CFT segments. Revenues for separately priced extended service warranties are recognized over the life of the contract. Revenues for highly customized product contracts are recognized based on the proportion of costs incurred to date, relative to total

estimated costs to complete the contract and are generally incurred over twelve months or less. Highly customized product contract costs generally include labor, material and overhead.

Note 7—Stock-Based Compensation
Incentive Compensation Program 
The Company maintains an Incentive Compensation Program (the “Program”) for executives, certain other employees of the Company and its operating segments and subsidiaries and the Company’s non-employee directors. Members of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") who receive stock-based compensation are treated as employees for accounting purposes. The Program was approved by the Company's stockholders on May 6, 2015. The Program allows for up to 4.2 million awards to eligible employees of stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and units or other awards based on Company common stock. As of December 31, 2021, 1.1 million shares were available for grant under the Program.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company awarded 362 thousand stock options, 72 thousand restricted stock awards and 54 thousand performance share awards as part of the Program with an aggregate grant-date fair value of approximately $34.5 million to be recognized over the requisite service period for each award.

In 2018, the Board authorized a grant of stock options to U.S. employees and stock appreciation rights to employees outside of the U.S. This grant contributed $9.5 million, $4.0 million and $9.8 million to stock-based compensation costs for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. No compensation cost was capitalized to inventory as of December 31, 2021. Compensation cost of $4.9 million was capitalized as inventory as of December 31, 2020. Inventory is recognized in costs of goods sold when that related inventory is sold.
Stock Option Awards 
Stock options awarded under the Program generally vest on a straight-line basis over a three-year period on the anniversary date of the grant. All stock options have a maximum contractual term of 10 years. Shares issued to cover stock options issued under the Program may be issued from shares held in treasury, from new issuances of shares or a combination of the two. Unrecognized compensation cost from continuing operations related to stock options of $5.6 million as of December 31, 2021, is to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model to determine the fair value of its stock options. The BSM relies on certain assumptions to estimate an option’s fair value. The weighted average assumptions used in the determination of fair value for stock options follows:
(in millions, except per share amounts)202120202019
Expected dividend yield1.4 %1.3 %1.6 %
Expected term (in years)
4.94.84.9
Expected volatility28.7 %21.9 %21.3 %
Risk-free interest rate0.4 %1.4 %2.5 %
Weighted-average grant date fair value (per share)
$32.51 $29.29 $21.07 
Fair value of options granted$11.8 $11.6 $9.7 
The expected term of a stock option is based on the assumption that all outstanding stock options will be exercised at the midpoint of the valuation date (if vested) or the vesting dates (if unvested) and the stock options’ expiration date. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility, as well as implied volatility of the Company’s call options. The risk-free interest rate is based on rates of U.S. Treasury issues with a remaining life equal to the expected term of the stock option. The expected dividend yield is based on the latest quarterly dividend payment per share, annualized, divided by the average three-month stock price as of the date of grant.

Performance Share Awards
Performance shares are granted for a three-year performance period, after which the actual number of performance shares earned by an employee is determined by the Company's attainment of a management objective which is based on the Company’s relative total stockholder return versus the S&P Midcap 400 Index® over a the three-year time period. Unrecognized compensation cost from continuing operations related to performance share awards of $8.8 million as of December 31, 2021, is to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
For purposes of determining diluted earnings per share, the performance share awards are considered contingently issuable shares and are included in diluted earnings per share based upon the number of shares that would have been awarded had the conditions at the end of the reporting period continued until the end of the performance period. See Note 5 for further information regarding earnings per share computations.
The Company utilizes the Monte-Carlo simulation approach based on a three-year measurement period to determine the fair value of performance shares. Such approach entails the use of assumptions regarding the future performance of the Company’s stock and those of the S&P Midcap 400 Index®. Those assumptions include expected volatility, risk-free interest rates, correlation coefficients and dividend reinvestment. Dividends accrue on the performance shares during the performance period and are to be paid in cash based upon the number of awards ultimately earned.

Up to and including February 4, 2020, restricted stock units were awarded to eligible directors which are fully vested and expensed upon grant date. The restricted stock units are paid in shares of Company common stock after the director ceases to serve as a member of the Board, or if earlier, upon a change in control of the Company. Effective May 6, 2020, eligible directors are no longer issued restricted stock units, but instead are awarded restricted stock awards that vest on the earlier of (i) one year from the date of grant; (ii) the director’s retirement from the Board upon reaching age 72 or after completing 18 consecutive years of service on the Board; or (iii) a change in control of the Company.

Note 8—Exit and Disposal Activities 
The Company has undertaken operational restructuring and other cost reduction actions to streamline processes and manage costs throughout various departments. These actions resulted in exit, disposal and employee termination benefit costs, primarily resulting from planned reductions in workforce, facility consolidation and relocation, and lease termination costs. The primary actions are discussed below by operating segment.
CIT
During the third quarter of 2021, the Company initiated plans to exit its manufacturing operations in Carlsbad, California, and relocate the majority of those operations to its existing facilities in North America. The project is estimated to take a remaining 12 to 15 months to complete. During the year ended December 31, 2021, exit and disposal costs totaled $1.5 million, primarily for employee termination benefit costs, facility cleanup costs and accelerated depreciation. Total exit and disposal costs are expected to approximate $4.6 million, with approximately $3.1 million costs remaining to be incurred, primarily in 2022.
During the third quarter of 2020, the Company initiated plans to exit its manufacturing operations in Kent, Washington, as a result of market declines from the coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19"). Select operations are being relocated to existing facilities primarily in North America. The project is substantially complete with cumulative exit and disposal costs of $14.2 million, primarily for employee termination benefit costs and inventory write-offs, recognized through December 31, 2021.
The Company has completed its project to relocate its aerospace connectors manufacturing operations in El Segundo, California, and Riverside, California, to existing lower cost operations in North America. During the year ended December 31, 2020, exit and disposal costs totaled $2.3 million, primarily for facility clean up, travel and employee termination benefit costs. Cumulative exit and disposal costs of $10.9 million were recognized through December 31, 2020.

Valuation Allowances
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $16.6 million deferred tax assets related to net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards for U.S. federal tax purposes. The Company believes that these attributes will be fully utilized and has therefore not established a valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had foreign tax credit carryforwards for U.S. federal tax purposes of $18.0 million, which begin to expire in 2025. The Company believes it is likely the credits will expire unused and therefore has established a full valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2021, the Company also had a deferred tax asset for state carryforward attributes of approximately $15.0 million (expiring 2023 through 2040), comprised of NOL, credit, and capital loss carryforwards. The Company believes that it is likely that the capital losses and certain of the state NOLs will expire unused and therefore has established a valuation allowance of approximately $7.5 million against the deferred tax assets associated with these attributes. The Company also has deferred tax assets related to carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions of approximately $6.7 million, comprised of NOL and interest expense carryforwards, which begin to expire in 2022. The Company believes that it is likely that certain foreign NOL carryforwards will expire unused and therefore has established a valuation allowance of approximately $4.3 million.
Undistributed Foreign Earnings
The Company has determined that an amount approximately equal to foreign cash balances and other certain assets is not permanently reinvested for withholding tax purposes, which results in an accrual of $10.4 million. It is not practicable to calculate deferred tax balances on other basis differences.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
Unrecognized tax benefits reflect the difference between the tax benefits of positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns and the tax benefits that meet the criteria for current recognition in the financial statements. The Company periodically assesses its unrecognized tax benefits. 
A summary of the movement in gross unrecognized tax benefits (before estimated interest and penalties) follows:
(in millions)202120202019

Reductions due to settlements— — (0.1)
Adjustments due to foreign exchange rates(0.2)(0.2)(0.2)
Balance as of December 31$16.2 $24.3 $35.7 
If the unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2021, were to be recognized, approximately $19.1 million would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The amount impacting the Company’s effective rate is calculated by adding accrued interest and penalties to the gross unrecognized tax benefit excluding positions related to discontinued operations and subtracting the tax benefit associated with state taxes and interest.
The Company classifies and reports interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the income tax provision on the Consolidated Statements of Income and as a long-term liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total amount of such interest and penalties accrued, but excluded from the table above, at the years ending 2021, 2020 and 2019 were $7.3 million, $7.9 million and $8.9 million, respectively.
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company participates in the IRS compliance assurance program and is currently up to date.
Generally, state income tax returns are subject to examination for a period of three years to five years after filing. Substantially all material state tax matters have been concluded for tax years through 2015. Various state income tax returns for subsequent years are in the process of examination. At this stage the outcome is uncertain; however, the Company believes that contingencies have been adequately provided for. Statutes of limitation vary among the foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Substantially all foreign tax matters have been concluded for tax years through 2009. The Company believes that foreign tax contingencies associated with income tax examinations underway or open tax years have been provided for adequately.

Table of Contents

Based on the outcome of certain examinations or as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations for certain jurisdictions, the Company believes that within the next 12 months it is reasonably possible that previously unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $2.0 million to $4.0 million. These previously unrecognized tax benefits relate to a variety of tax issues including tax matters relating to prior acquisitions and various state matters.

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company incurred $1.3 million of financing costs to finalize the Amendment, which are recognized ratably over the extended maturity date of the Facility.
Additionally, on September 14, 2021, the Company entered into a first amendment to the Amendment (as amended, the "Facility") to, among other things, revise the referenced benchmark interest rates to provide for a successor interest rate to LIBOR due to the cessation of certain LIBOR rates as of December 31, 2021.
The Facility provides for borrowings of up to $1.0 billion and has a feature that allows the Company to increase availability, at its option, by an aggregate amount of up to $500.0 million through increased commitments from existing lenders or the addition of new lenders. Under the Facility the Company may also enter into commitments in the form of standby, commercial, or direct pay letters of credit for an amount not to exceed $50.0 million.
The Facility provides for variable interest pricing based on the credit rating of the unsecured senior unsecured bank debt or other unsecured senior debt. The Facility is also subject to fees based on applicable rates as defined in the agreement and the aggregate commitment, regardless of usage. The Facility requires the Company to meet various restrictive covenants and limitations including certain leverage ratios, interest coverage ratios and limits on outstanding debt balances held by certain subsidiaries. 
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no borrowings and $1.0 billion available under the Facility.

The weighted-average cash balance interest crediting rate for the Company's cash balance defined benefit plans was 4.0% for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.
The Company considers several factors in determining the long-term rate of return for plan assets. Asset-class return expectations are set using a combination of empirical and forward-looking analyses. Capital market assumptions for the composition of the Company’s asset portfolio are intended to capture the behavior of asset classes observed over several market cycles. The Company also looks to historical returns for reasonableness and appropriateness.

The Company employs a liability driven investment approach whereby plan assets are invested primarily in fixed income investments to match the changes in the projected benefit obligation of funded plans related to changes in interest rates. Risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of projected benefit obligations, plan funded status and the Company’s other obligations and strategic investments. 
The established target allocation is 88.0% fixed income securities and 12.0% equity securities. Fixed income investments are diversified across U.S. treasury, long and intermediate duration and high yield bonds. Equity investments are diversified across large capitalization U.S. and international stocks. Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through investment portfolio reviews, annual projected benefit liability measurements and asset/liability studies.

Deferred Compensation - Cash
The Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan allows certain eligible participants to defer a portion of their cash compensation and provides a matching contribution to the deferred compensation plan of up to 4.0% of eligible compensation. Eligible participants may elect to receive in-service distributions of deferred compensation or may defer receipt of distributions until retirement via lump sum or annual payment installments over a maximum period of 10 years. Participants allocate their deferred compensation amongst various investment options with earnings accruing to the participant. 
The Company has established a Rabbi Trust to provide for a degree of financial security to cover its obligations under the Deferred Compensation Plan. Contributions to the Rabbi Trust by the Company are made at the discretion of management and generally are made in cash and invested in money-market funds. The Company consolidates the Rabbi Trust and therefore includes the investments in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company had $5.7 million and $6.6 million of cash, respectively, and $8.1 million and $7.7 million of short-term investments, respectively. The short-term investments are measured at fair value using quoted market prices in active markets (i.e. Level 1 measurements) with changes in fair value recorded in net income and the associated cash flows presented as operating cash flows.
Workers’ Compensation Claims and Related Losses 
The Company maintains occurrence-based insurance coverage with certain insurance carriers in accordance with its risk management practices that provides for reimbursement of workers’ compensation claims in excess of $0.5 million. The Company records a recovery receivable from the insurance carriers when such recovery is deemed probable based on the nature of the claim and history of recoveries. The liability related to workers’ compensation claims, both those reported to the Company and those incurred but not yet reported, is estimated based on actuarial estimates, loss development factors and the Company’s historical loss experience.

Litigation 
Over the years, the Company has been named as a defendant, along with numerous other defendants, in lawsuits in various courts in which plaintiffs have alleged injury due to exposure to asbestos-containing friction products produced and sold predominantly by the Company’s discontinued Motion Control business between the late-1940s and the mid-1980s. The Company has been subject to liabilities for indemnity and defense costs associated with these lawsuits.
The Company has recorded a liability for estimated indemnity costs associated with pending and future asbestos claims. As of December 31, 2021, the Company believes that its accrual for these costs is not material to the Company's financial position, results of operations, or operating cash flows.
The Company recognizes expenses for defense costs associated with asbestos claims during the periods in which they are incurred. Refer to Note 1 for the Company’s accounting policy related to litigation defense costs.
The Company currently maintains insurance coverage with respect to asbestos-related claims and associated defense costs. The Company records the insurance coverage as a receivable in an amount it reasonably estimates is probable of recovery for pending and future asbestos-related indemnity claims. Since the Company’s insurance policies contain various coverage exclusions, limits of coverage and self-insured retentions and may be subject to insurance coverage disputes, the Company may recognize expenses for indemnity and defense costs in particular periods if and when it becomes probable that such costs will not be covered by insurance.
Henry has also been named as a defendant, along with numerous other defendants, in lawsuits in various courts in which plaintiffs have alleged injury due to exposure to asbestos-containing roofing products produced and sold by Henry and certain of its subsidiaries. Henry is subject to liabilities for indemnity and defense costs associated with these lawsuits. As of December 31, 2021, the Company believes such liabilities are not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or operating cash flows. Henry currently maintains insurance coverage and is the beneficiary of other arrangements which provide coverage with respect to certain asbestos-related claims and associated defense costs. Such insurance policies contain various coverage exclusions, limits of coverage and self-insured retentions and may be subject to insurance coverage disputes.
The Company is also involved in various other legal actions and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcomes of such actions and proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or operating cash flows.
Note 18—Financial Instruments
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of its foreign currency exchange rate exposure to forecasted foreign currency denominated cash flows. These instruments are not held for speculative or trading purposes.
A summary of the Company's designated and non-designated cash flow hedges follows:

(1)The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is included in other current assets. The fair value was estimated using observable market inputs such as forward and spot prices of the underlying exchange rate pair. Based on these inputs, derivative assets and liabilities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Designated Hedges
For instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts with maturities less than one year. The changes in the fair value of the contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized in the same line item as the impact of the hedged item, revenues or cost of sales, when the underlying forecasted transaction impacts earnings. Gains and losses on the contracts representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness are recognized in the same line item as the hedged item, revenues or cost of sales, currently.
Non-Designated Hedges
For instruments that are not designed as a cash flow hedge, the Company had foreign exchange contracts with maturities less than one year. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from these contracts were immaterial and are recognized in other non-operating expense, net and partially offset corresponding foreign exchange gains and losses on these balances.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component follows:

(1)The accrued post-retirement benefit liability reclassification pertains to the amortization of unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and prior service credits which is included in net periodic benefit cost. See Note 15 for additional pension discussion.
Investment Securities
In accordance with its investment policy, the Company invests its excess cash from time-to-time in investment grade bonds and other securities to achieve higher yields. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $30.3 million of investment grade bonds. The investment grade bonds are classified as available-for-sale and measured at fair value using quoted market prices in active markets (i.e., Level 1 measurements) with changes in fair value recorded in accumulated comprehensive income, until realized, and the associated cash flows presented as investing cash flows. The Company did not have any investment securities as of December 31, 2020.
Other Financial Instruments
Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable, accrued expenses and long-term debt. The carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of its short-term nature and generally negligible credit losses (refer to Note 14 for the fair value of long-term debt).

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

As discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, the Company completed the acquisition of ASP Henry Holdings, Inc. ("Henry") on September 1, 2021.
