CIRCOR INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CIRCOR International, Inc. ("CIRCOR", the "Company", "us", "we" or "our") have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the United States ("U.S.") Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting, along with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S ("GAAP"). In the opinion of management, the unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring items) necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. We prepare our interim financial information using the same accounting principles we use for our annual audited consolidated financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules. We believe that the disclosures made in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. We recommend that the financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

We operate and report financial information using a fiscal year ending December 31. The data periods contained within our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q reflect the results of operations for the 13-week, 26-week and 39-week periods which generally end on the Sunday nearest the calendar quarter-end date. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or any future quarter.

We have reclassified certain prior year amounts, including the results of discontinued operations and reportable segment information, to conform to the current year presentation. Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information and statistical data included in these notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements relate to our continuing operations, with dollar amounts expressed in thousands (except per-share data).

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019 are consistent with those discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, except as updated below with respect to newly adopted accounting standards.

New Accounting Standards - Adopted

On January 1, 2019, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases, and all related amendments ("ASC 842"), under the modified retrospective approach. Consequently, periods prior to January 1, 2019 are not restated for the adoption of ASC 842. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional Right-of-Use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities of $23.8 million and $24.1 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and the lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The difference between the additional lease assets and lease liabilities was recorded as an adjustment to deferred rent and prepaid rent. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings. See Note 5, Leases for further information.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU simplifies how entities assess goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The goodwill impairment test, as amended, will consist of one step comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount. The Company will record an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairments tests performed. The Company has elected to early-adopt this ASU in the current quarter ended September 29, 2019.

(3) Discontinued Operations

During the quarter ended September 29, 2019, the Company completed the disposition of its long-cycle upstream oil & gas Engineered Valves ("EV") business for $1.1 million (EUR 1 million), with an earn out of 50 percent of net income over seven years up to a maximum of $20.6 million (EUR 18 million). In addition, during the quarter the Company received approval from its Board of Directors to dispose of the Company’s Distributed Valves ("DV") business in a transaction or transfer to a third-party purchaser or purchasers. The Company has not yet secured a buyer for the DV business but has allocated internal resources to identify potential buyers and evaluate proposals. The Company anticipates completing the disposition within the next twelve months. These actions are consistent with the Company's strategic shift away from upstream oil and gas to focus on more attractive end markets.

The EV and DV businesses met the conditions for discontinued operations as of September 29, 2019 and are recorded as such in the condensed consolidated financial statements. All prior period comparative financial information has been reclassified to conform to this presentation. These businesses were previously part of the Energy segment.

The DV business met the held for sale requirements as of September 29, 2019. Upon classifying the DV business as held for sale, the Company was required in accordance with GAAP to measure the business at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less expected costs to sell. Through this process, the Company determined that the carrying value exceeded fair value as of September 29, 2019, and recognized a write-down of $64.0 million, consisting of goodwill impairment of $6.9 million, intangible asset impairment of $1.0 million and a valuation allowance of $56.1 million to adjust the remaining net assets of the business to its fair value less costs to sell.

The Company calculated fair value of the DV business using an income approach based on the present value of projected future cash flows. This approach incorporates several assumptions including future growth rates, discount rates, income tax rates, and market activity in assessing fair value. Changes in economic and operating conditions impacting these assumptions could result in additional valuation adjustments in the future.

(4) Revenue Recognition

Our revenue is derived from a variety of contracts. A significant portion of our revenues are from contracts associated with the design, development, manufacture or modification of highly engineered, complex and severe environment products with customers who are either in or service the energy, aerospace, defense and industrial markets. Our contracts within the defense markets are primarily with U.S. military customers. These contracts typically are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Contracts may be modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. Contract modifications exist when the modification either creates new, or changes the existing, enforceable rights and obligations. Contract modifications for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract.

Revenue is recognized from products and services transferred to customers over-time using an input measure (e.g., costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion, known as the “cost-to-cost” method) to measure progress. We generally use the cost-to-cost measure of progress for our contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, revenues are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Contract costs include labor, materials and subcontractors’ costs, other direct costs and an allocation of overhead, as appropriate.

As of September 29, 2019, we had $425.5 million of revenue related to remaining unfulfilled performance obligations. We expect to recognize approximately 42 percent of our remaining performance obligations as revenue during the remainder of 2019, 44 percent in 2020, and the remaining 14 percent in 2021 and thereafter.

In order to determine revenue recognized in the period from contract liabilities, we first allocate revenue to the individual contract liabilities balances outstanding at the beginning of the period until the revenue exceeds that balance. If additional advances are received on those contracts in subsequent periods, we assume all revenue recognized in the reporting period first applies to the beginning contract liabilities as opposed to a portion applying to the new advances for the period.

The impact of adjustments in contract estimates on our operating earnings can be reflected in either operating expenses or revenue. There have been no significant changes in estimates in the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019.

Contract Balances. The Company’s contract assets and contract liabilities balances as of December 31, 2018 and September 29, 2019 are as follows (in thousands):

		December 31, 2018				September 29, 2019				Increase/(Decrease)
Trade accounts receivables, net		$	167,181			$	141,117			$	(26,064	)
Contract assets (1)		46,912				62,613				15,701
Contract liabilities (2)		41,951				45,174				3,223
(1) Recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets.
(2) Recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Trade accounts receivable, net decreased by $26.1 million as of September 29, 2019, primarily due to the timing of cash collections during the nine months ended September 29, 2019.

Contract assets increased by $15.7 million, or 33%, to $62.6 million primarily driven by unbilled revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 29, 2019 within our Pumps business (+21%), Refinery Valves business (+10%) and U.S. Defense business (+10%).

Contract liabilities increased by $3.2 million, or 8%, to $45.2 million as of September 29, 2019, primarily driven by timing of revenue recognized over time during the nine months ended September 29, 2019 within our U.S. Defense business (+23%) and Fluid Control business (+14%), offset by decreases within our Refinery Valves business (-22%).

(5) Leases

We lease certain office spaces, warehouses, vehicles and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12-months or less have not been capitalized on the balance sheet. We recognize lease expense associated with these short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For lease agreements entered into after the adoption of ASC 842, we combine lease and non-lease fixed components for real estate, vehicles and equipment leases. We do not combine lease and non-lease components for information technology leases. Variable lease costs were not included within the measurement of the lease liability as they were entirely variable or the difference between the portion captured within the lease liability and the actual cost will be expensed as incurred. Variable costs are contractually obligated and relate primarily to common area maintenance and taxes, which were not material to the financial statements.

We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification, not to reassess if existing contracts are or contain leases, and not to reassess indirect costs for existing leases.

We have elected not to recast the comparable periods and rather used the effective adoption date of the standard as the date of initial application.

Leases which contain a renewal option to extend an existing lease term, or a termination option to end a lease early are exercisable at our sole discretion. We evaluate such leases to determine if we are reasonably certain to exercise the option. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.

Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees.

In determining the present value of lease payments, we use the implicit borrowing rate in the lease, if available. In cases where a lease does not provide an implicit borrowing rate, we use the incremental borrowing rate based on available information at the commencement date. As of September 29, 2019, none of our existing leases provided an implicit borrowing rate. We give consideration to our debt issuances as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when calculating our incremental borrowing rates. Additionally, we perform an entity-level financial assessment along with risk assessment by country or jurisdiction in the determination of our incremental borrowing rate. We will update our financial and risk assessments periodically. We will reassess lease classification and / or remeasure the lease liability in the event of the following: changes in assessment of renewal, termination or purchase option based on triggering events within our control, change in amounts probable of being owed under a residual guarantee, or contingency resolution.

(9) Segment Information

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates segment operating performance using segment operating income. Segment operating income is defined as GAAP operating income excluding intangible amortization and amortization of fair value step-ups of inventory and fixed assets from acquisitions completed subsequent to December 31, 2011, the impact of restructuring related inventory write-offs, impairment charges and special charges or gains. The Company also refers to this measure as adjusted operating income. The Company uses this measure because it helps management understand and evaluate the segments’ core operating results and serves as the basis for determining incentive compensation achievement.

We organize our reporting structure into three segments: Energy, Aerospace & Defense and Industrial.

The following table presents certain reportable segment information (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended

The total assets for each reportable segment have been reported as the Identifiable Assets for that segment, including inter-segment intercompany receivables, payables and investments in other CIRCOR companies. Identifiable assets reported in Corporate include both corporate assets, such as cash, deferred taxes, prepaid and other assets, fixed assets, as well as the elimination of all inter-segment intercompany assets. The elimination of intercompany assets results in negative amounts reported in Corporate for

Identifiable Assets. Corporate Identifiable Assets excluding intercompany assets were $12.8 million and $28.2 million as of September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively.

(10) Financial Instruments

Fair Value

The company utilizes fair value measurement guidance prescribed by accounting standards to value its financial instruments. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

•	Level One: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•	Level Two: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

•	Level Three: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The fair value measurements of the Company's financial instruments as of September 29, 2019 are summarized in the table below (in thousands):

	Significant Other Observable Inputs
Derivative assets	$	4,345
Derivative liabilities	$	(10,160	)

 The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. Cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value at the balance sheet date and is a Level 1 financial instrument. As of September 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the outstanding balance of the Company’s debt approximated fair value based on current rates available to the Company for debt of the same maturity and is a Level 2 financial instrument.

As of September 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had restricted cash balances of $1.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively. These balances are recorded within prepaid and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and are included within cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a receivables purchasing agreement with a bank whereby the Company can sell selected account receivables and receive 90% of the purchase price upfront, net of applicable discount fee, and the remaining 10% as the receivables are collected. During the quarter, the Company sold a total of $13.5 million in receivables under the program, receiving $12.1 million in cash. The outstanding purchase price component of $1.4 million was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 29, 2019.

Effective July 12, 2019, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap ("cross-currency swap") agreement to hedge its net investment in non-U.S. subsidiaries against future volatility in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. The cross-currency swap agreement is pursuant to an ISDA Master Agreement with Deutsche Bank AG.  The three-year cross-currency swap has a fixed notional value of $100.0 million at an annual rate of 2.4065% and a maturity date of July 12, 2022. At inception, the cross-currency swap was designated as a net investment hedge. This hedging agreement was entered into to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate exposure, and is not for speculative trading purposes. The net investment hedge was deemed effective as of quarter-end.

The Company has designated the interest rate swap as a qualifying hedging instrument and is treating it as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The aggregate net fair value of the interest rate swap and

22

---

cross-currency swap was $(5.8) million. These balances are recorded in other long-term liabilities of $6.5 million, accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $3.7 million, other current assets of $2.6 million and long-term deferred tax asset of $1.7 million on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 29, 2019. The unrealized gains or (losses) recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, were $2.2 million and $(5.0) million for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019, respectively. The realized loss of $0.4 million and $0.8 million was reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense as interest expense was accrued on the swap during the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019, respectively. Amounts expected to be reclassified from other comprehensive income into interest expense in the coming 12 months is a loss of $3.7 million. Interest expense (including the effects of the cash flow hedges) related to the portion of the Company's term loan subject to the aforementioned interest-rate swap agreement was $6.2 million and $18.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019, respectively.

(11) Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

As permitted under Delaware law, we have agreements whereby we indemnify certain of our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for the officer’s or director’s lifetime. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. However, we have directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies that insure us with respect to certain events covered under the policies and should enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid under the indemnification agreements. We have no liabilities recorded from those agreements as of September 29, 2019.

We record provisions for the estimated cost of product warranties, primarily from historical information, at the time product revenue is recognized. We also record provisions with respect to any significant individual warranty issues as they arise. While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, utilization levels, material usage, service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure, and supplier warranties on parts delivered to us. Should actual product failure rates, utilization levels, material usage, service delivery costs or supplier warranties on parts differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.

The following table sets forth information related to our product warranty reserves for the nine months ended September 29, 2019 (in thousands):

 

Balance beginning December 31, 2018	$	2,980
Provisions	2,204
Claims settled	(2,361		)
Currency translation adjustment	(54		)
Balance ending September 29, 2019	$	2,769

Warranty obligations were $3.0 million as of December 31, 2018 and $2.8 million as of September 29, 2019, as net claims settled and quarterly provisions within our Industrial and Energy operating segments largely offset.

(12) Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims pertaining to matters such as product liability or contract disputes, including issues arising under certain customer contracts with aerospace and defense customers. We are also subject to other proceedings and governmental inquiries, inspections, audits or investigations pertaining to issues such as tax matters, patents and trademarks, pricing, business practices, governmental regulations, employment and other matters. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we expect that the ultimate disposition of these matters, to the extent not previously provided for, will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

On February 21, 2018, the Company entered into a mediated settlement regarding a wage and hour action in California by a former employee. In October 2016, the plaintiff alleged non-compliance with California State labor law, including missed or late meal breaks, for hourly employees of CIRCOR Aerospace, Inc. in Corona, California. The total settlement amount of $2.4 million was initially recorded as a liability as of December 31, 2017.  This settlement resolves all wage/hour claims by all potentially affected employees through the settlement date and was approved by the California Superior Court during 2018. The Company made the payment during the third quarter of 2019.

Asbestos-related product liability claims continue to be filed against two of our subsidiaries: Spence Engineering Company, Inc. (“Spence”), the stock of which we acquired in 1984; and CIRCOR Instrumentation Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a Hoke, Inc.) (“Hoke”), the stock of which we acquired in 1998. Due to the nature of the products supplied by these entities, the markets they serve and our historical experience in resolving these claims, we do not expect that these asbestos-related claims will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

Standby Letters of Credit

We execute standby letters of credit, which include bid bonds and performance bonds, in the normal course of business to ensure our performance or payments to third parties. The aggregate notional value of these instruments was $44.5 million at September 29, 2019. We believe that the likelihood of demand for a significant payment relating to the outstanding instruments is remote. These instruments generally have expiration dates ranging from less than 1 month to 5 years from September 29, 2019.

The following table contains information related to standby letters of credit instruments outstanding as of September 29, 2019 (in thousands):

Term Remaining	Maximum Potential Future Payments
0–12 months	$	33,175
Greater than 12 months	11,281
Total	$	44,456

(13) Retirement Plans

The following table sets forth the components of total net periodic benefit cost (income) of the Company’s defined benefit pension plans and other post-retirement employee benefit plans (in thousands):

There were no employer contributions to the Company's U.S. and non- U.S. based pension plans during the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019.

(14) Income Taxes

As of September 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, would affect our effective tax rate if recognized in any future period.

The Company files income tax returns in U.S. federal, state and local jurisdictions and in foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") for years prior to 2016 and is no longer subject to examination by the tax authorities in foreign and state jurisdictions prior to 2006. The Company is currently under examination for income tax filings in various foreign jurisdictions.

The Company has a net U.S. deferred tax asset and a net foreign deferred tax liability. Due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize certain U.S. and foreign deferred income tax assets, we maintained a valuation allowance of $17.5 million at September 29, 2019 and $17.6 million at December 31, 2018. The valuation allowance is based on estimates of income in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be recoverable. If future results of operations exceed our current expectations, our existing tax valuation allowances may be adjusted, resulting in future tax benefits. Alternatively, if future results of operations are less than expected, future assessments may result in a determination that some or all of the deferred tax assets are not realizable. Consequently, we may need to establish additional tax valuation allowances for all or a portion of the deferred tax assets, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

(15) Share-Based Compensation

As of September 29, 2019, the Company had 722,683 stock options and 402,591 Restricted Stock Unit Awards ("RSU Awards") and Restricted Stock Unit Management Stock Plan Awards ("RSU MSPs") outstanding. On May 9, 2019, our shareholders approved the 2019 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "2019 Plan") at the Company's annual meeting which was adopted, subject to shareholder approval, by the Company's board of directors on February 20, 2019. The 2019 Plan authorizes issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar events). Under the 2019 Plan, there were 955,522 shares available for grant as of September 29, 2019.

During the nine months ended September 29, 2019, we granted 153,726 stock options compared with 127,704 stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The average fair value of stock options granted during the first nine months of 2019 and 2018 was $11.84 and $14.68 per share, respectively, and was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

	September 29, 2019			September 30, 2018
Risk-free interest rate	2.6	%		2.5	%
Expected life (years)	4.4			4.4
Expected stock volatility	38.1	%		37.2	%
Expected dividend yield	—	%		—	%

For additional information regarding the historical issuance of stock options, refer to Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

During the nine months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018, we granted 201,313 and 160,604 RSU Awards with approximate fair values of $32.73 and $43.11 per RSU Award, respectively. During the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, we granted performance-based RSU Awards as part of the overall mix of RSU Awards. Of the 201,313 RSU Awards granted during the nine months ended September 29, 2019, 67,362 are performance-based RSU Awards. This compares to 48,080 performance-based RSU Awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. In 2019, these performance-based RSU Awards include metrics for achieving Adjusted Operating Margin and Adjusted Free Cash Flow with target payouts ranging from 0% to 200%. In 2018 and prior years, the performance-based RSU Awards include metrics for achieving Return on Invested Capital and Adjusted Operating Margin with the same target payout ranges. Of the different performance-based RSU tranches, the Company anticipates approximately 80% overall achievement and probability to vest.

RSU MSPs totaling 56,379 and 34,937 with per unit discount amounts representing fair values of $11.10 and $14.06 per share were granted during the nine months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively.

Compensation expense related to our share-based plans for the nine months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018 was $4.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively. Compensation expense for both periods was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. As of September 29, 2019, there were $10.0 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to our outstanding share-based compensation arrangements. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

The weighted average contractual term for stock options outstanding and options exercisable as of September 29, 2019 was 4.3 years and 3.5 years, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the nine months ended September 29, 2019 was $0.0 million and the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and options exercisable as of September 29, 2019 was $0.6 million and $0.0 million, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value of RSU Awards settled during the nine months ended September 29, 2019 was $1.9 million and the aggregate intrinsic value of RSU Awards outstanding and RSU Awards vested and deferred as of September 29, 2019 was $11.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value of RSU MSPs settled during the nine months ended September 29, 2019 was less than $0.1 million and the aggregate intrinsic value of RSU MSPs outstanding and RSU MSPs vested and deferred as of September 29, 2019 was $1.1 million and $0.0 million, respectively.

International participants are issued Cash Settled Stock Unit Awards. As of September 29, 2019, there were 47,997 Cash Settled Stock Unit Awards outstanding compared to 50,907 as of December 31, 2018. During the nine months ended September 29, 2019, the aggregate cash used to settle Cash Settled Stock Unit Awards was $0.9 million. As of September 29, 2019, we had $0.7 million of accrued expenses in other non-current liabilities associated with these Cash Settled Stock Unit Awards compared with $0.6 million as of December 31, 2018. Cash Settled Stock Unit Award related compensation costs for the nine months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018 were $1.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 29, 2019, $0.7 million was recorded as selling, general, and administrative expenses and $0.3 million was recorded as special charges related to the sale of our Pibiviesse Srl entity. The special charge amount related to the accelerated vesting of awards as a result of the transaction. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compensation costs for Cash Settled Stock Unit Awards were recorded entirely in selling, general, and administrative expense.

(16) Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The following table summarizes the changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, which is reported as a component of shareholders' equity, for the nine months ended September 29, 2019 (in thousands):

	Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments				Pension, net				Derivative				Total
Balance as of December 31, 2018	$	(49,109	)		$	(19,114	)		$	(1,516	)		$	(69,739	)
Other comprehensive loss	(16,882		)		(393		)		(6,371		)		(23,646		)
Balance as of September 29, 2019	$	(65,991	)		$	(19,507	)		$	(7,887	)		$	(93,385	)

During the first quarter of 2019, an immaterial error was identified in the Company's calculation of currency translation adjustments related to goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment acquired in the FH acquisition.  This error impacts other comprehensive income. Specifically, other comprehensive income (loss) was overstated by $5.4 and $2.2 million for the first quarter and fiscal 2018, respectively, and was understated by $2.2 million for first quarter of 2019.  The Company has determined that these adjustments were not material to the current or prior periods, or the forecasted 2019 results. These items were immaterial and were adjusted for during the first quarter of 2019. The quarterly impact ($ in millions) in 2018 was:

	Q1				Q2				Q3				Q4				2018
Overstated (understated) comprehensive income	$	5.4			$	(5.1	)		$	(0.2	)		$	2.1			$	2.2

(17) Loss Per Common Share ("EPS")

 

Stock options, RSU Awards, and RSU MSPs covering 440,780 and 371,017 shares of common stock for the nine months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”). The words “may,” “hope,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” and other expressions, which are predictions of or indicate future events and trends and which do not relate to historical matters, identify forward-looking statements. We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our stockholders, and we, therefore, make forward-looking statements in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Act. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control and our actual results may differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, including statements about the realization of cost reductions from restructuring activities and expected synergies, the expected impact of tariff increases and future cash flows from operating activities, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, changes in the price of and demand for oil and gas in both domestic and international markets, our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses, as contemplated, the possibility that expected benefits related to the acquisition of the fluid handling business of Colfax Corporation ("FH") may not materialize as expected, any adverse changes in governmental policies, variability of raw material and component pricing, changes in our suppliers’ performance, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in tariffs or other taxes related to doing business internationally, our ability to hire and retain key personnel, our ability to operate our manufacturing facilities at efficient levels including our ability to prevent cost overruns and reduce costs, our ability to generate increased cash by reducing our working capital, our prevention of the accumulation of excess inventory, our ability to successfully implement our divestiture, restructuring or simplification strategies, fluctuations in interest rates, our ability to successfully defend product liability actions, any actions of stockholders or others in response to expiration of the recent unsolicited tender offer and the cost and disruption of responding to those actions, as well as the uncertainty associated with the current worldwide economic conditions and the continuing impact on economic and financial conditions in the United States and around the world, including as a result of natural disasters, terrorist attacks, current Middle Eastern conflicts and related matters. We advise you to read further about these and other risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Company Overview

We design, manufacture and market differentiated technology products and sub-systems for markets including industrial, oil & gas, aerospace and defense, and commercial marine. CIRCOR has a diversified flow and motion control product portfolio with recognized, market-leading brands that fulfill its customers’ mission critical needs.

We organize our reporting structure into three segments: Energy, Aerospace & Defense and Industrial. Both the current and the prior periods are reported under these three segments.

Basis of Presentation

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We operate and report financial information using a fiscal year ending December 31. The data periods contained within our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q reflect the results of operations for the 13-week, 26-week and 39-week periods which generally end on the Sunday nearest the calendar quarter-end date.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the accurate portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results and require subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no significant changes from the methodology applied by management for critical accounting estimates previously disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as updated by Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with respect to newly adopted accounting standards. The expenses and accrued liabilities or allowances related to certain of our accounting policies are initially based on our best estimates at the time of original entry in our accounting records. Adjustments are recorded when our actual experience, or new information concerning our expected experience, differs from underlying initial estimates. These adjustments could be material if our actual or expected experience were to change significantly in a short period of time. We make frequent comparisons of actual experience and expected experience in order to mitigate the likelihood of material adjustments.

Results of Operations

In June 2019, we became subject to an unsolicited tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of our common stock. After reviewing the terms and conditions of the tender offer, our board of directors unanimously recommended that our stockholders reject the tender offer. The tender offer expired by its terms on July 19, 2019. In connection with our review and response to the tender offer, we incurred significant expenses, consisting primarily of advisory and legal fees, during the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019.

Segment Results

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP), a company's segment reporting should follow how the business is reviewed by its Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), which is the function that allocates the resources of the enterprise and assesses the performance of the Company's reportable operating segments. CIRCOR has determined that the CODM is its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), as the CEO has the ultimate responsibility for CIRCOR strategic decision-making and resource allocation.

Our CODM evaluates segment operating performance using segment operating income. Segment operating income is defined as GAAP operating income excluding intangible amortization and amortization of fair value step-ups of inventory and fixed assets from acquisitions completed subsequent to December 31, 2011, the impact of restructuring related inventory write-offs, impairment charges and special charges or gains. The Company also refers to this measure as adjusted operating income. The Company uses this measure because it helps management understand and evaluate the segments’ core operating results and serves as the basis for determining incentive compensation achievement.

The following table presents certain reportable segment information:

Industrial segment orders decreased $(9.2) million, or (-8%), for the three months ended September 29, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily driven by lower orders in our Valves business (-6%) and Pumps business (-2%).

Segment operating income, excluding divestiture, increased $0.5 million, or (+4%), for the three months ended September 29, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily driven by margin expansions resulting from ongoing pricing actions as well as integration synergies and productivity improvements.

 

Corporate Expenses

Corporate expenses decreased $(.8) million, or (10%) for the three months ended September 29, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Special and Restructuring Charges, net

The year-over-year change is driven by lower foreign exchange gains and lower pension income. Effective January 1, 2018 all non-service pension gains and losses are recorded in the Other (Income) Expense, net caption on our condensed consolidated statement of (loss) income.

Comprehensive Loss

During the three months ended September 29, 2019 we had comprehensive loss of $120.7 million, as compared to comprehensive loss of $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

The decrease was primarily driven by unfavorable foreign exchange (-4%), along with declines within our Pumps businesses (-1%), partially offset by growth in our Valves businesses (+2%).

Industrial segment orders decreased $(38.8) million, or (-10%), for the nine months ended September 29, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, driven by declines within our Pumps Business (-8%) and our Valves Business (-2%).

Segment operating income, excluding divestiture, decreased $(1.3) million, or (-4%), for the nine months ended September 29, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily driven by declines within our Pumps Businesses (-17%), partially offset by strength in our Valves business (+9%) in both Europe and North America.

Segment operating margin remained consistent with price increases and synergies offset by volume and unfavorable foreign exchange.

 

Corporate Expenses

Corporate expenses were $20.3 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2019 compared to $22.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease from the prior year was primarily driven by lower professional fees and integration costs.

Special and Restructuring Charges, net

During the nine months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Company recorded net charges of $19.9 million and $11.9 million, respectively, within our condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income caption "Special and restructuring charges, net". These special and restructuring charges, net are described in further detail in Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Cost of sales related to divestitures

During the nine months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Company recorded a recovery of $(0.8) million and a net charge of $0.5 million, respectively, within our condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income caption “Cost of revenues”. This adjustment includes the gross profit or loss for businesses that are divested in the quarter, as well as certain restructuring costs related to inventory that are recorded in cost of revenues instead of special and restructuring charges. These types of inventory restructuring costs typically relate to the discontinuance of a product line or manufacturing inefficiencies directly related to a restructuring action.

Acquisition Amortization

During the nine months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Company recorded amortization expense of $34.5 million and $35.3 million, respectively, for intangibles acquired in acquisitions completed subsequent to December 31, 2011. These amortization expenses are recorded in either cost of revenues or selling, general, and administrative expenses depending upon the nature of the underlying asset.

Acquisition Step-up Depreciation

During the nine months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Company recorded depreciation expense of $3.3 million and $5.3 million, respectively, related to the step-up to fair value of the plant, property, and equipment related to the FH acquisition.

Interest Expense, net

 

Interest expense decreased $(1.9) million to $37.8 million in the nine months ended September 29, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The change in interest expense was primarily due to lower debt balances.

Other Income, net

 

During the nine months ended September 29, 2019, we had other income, net of $(2.8) million, as compared to other income, net of $(7.1) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The year-over-year change is driven by lower foreign exchange gains and lower pension income. Effective January 1, 2018, all non-service pension gains and losses are recorded in the Other income, net caption on our condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income.

Comprehensive Loss

During the nine months ended September 29, 2019, we had comprehensive loss of $(159.1) million, as compared to comprehensive loss of $(30.3) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The change in comprehensive loss is further outlined in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Provision for / (Benefit from) Income Taxes

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity needs arise primarily from capital investment in machinery, equipment and the improvement of facilities, funding working capital requirements to support business growth initiatives, acquisitions, and debt service costs. We have historically generated cash from operations and remain in a strong financial position, with resources available for reinvestment in existing businesses, strategic acquisitions and managing our capital structure on a short and long-term basis.

The following table summarizes our cash flow activities for the nine month periods indicated (in thousands):

	September 29, 2019				September 30, 2018
Cash flow provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	(911	)		$	23,463
Investing activities	151,201				(10,523		)
Financing activities	(147,841		)		(47,785		)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	(1,753		)		(5,154		)
Increase / (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	696			$	(39,999	)

During the nine months ended September 29, 2019, cash used in operations was $0.9 million compared to cash provided by operations of $23.5 million during the same period in 2018. The $24.4 million decrease in cash provided was primarily driven by a one-time pricing reimbursement in 2018 and lower overall revenue volume primarily as a result of divestitures, partially offset by increased cash from working capital and an increased cash usage of $10.8 million attributed to discontinued operations.

During the nine months ended September 29, 2019, we generated $151.2 million of cash from investing activities as compared to using cash of $10.5 million from investing activities during the same period in 2018. The $161.7 million year over year increase in cash generated was primarily driven by the sale of our Reliability Services and Spence businesses which generated net proceeds of $164.3 million in 2019 and lower purchases of property, plant, and equipment of $5.4 million, partially offset by a $6.3 million cash receipt in 2018 related to the working capital settlement with FH.

During the nine months ended September 29, 2019, we used $147.8 million of cash in financing activities as compared to $47.8 million of cash used in financing activities during the same period in 2018. The $100.1 million year over year increase in cash used in financing activities arises from an $160.7 million increase in net debt repayments, offset by a $61.2 million repayment of cash to the FH seller in 2018.

As of September 29, 2019, total debt was $640.9 million compared to $786.0 million as of December 31, 2018. Total debt as a percentage of total shareholders’ equity was 172% as of September 29, 2019 compared to 149% as of December 31, 2018. As of September 29, 2019, we had available capacity to borrow an additional $108.0 million under our revolving credit facility.

On April 12, 2018, the Company entered into a hedging agreement to mitigate the inherent risk associated with our outstanding debt. The Company has entered into a cross-currency swap agreement to hedge against future volatility in exchange rates. Refer to Note 10, "Financial Instruments", of the condensed consolidated financial statements included within this Quarterly Report Form 10-Q.

We entered into a secured credit agreement, dated as of December 11, 2017 ("2017 Credit Agreement"), which provides for a $150.0 million revolving line of credit with a five year maturity and a $785.0 million term loan with a seven year maturity. We entered into the 2017 Credit Agreement to fund acquisitions, to support our operational growth initiatives and working capital needs, and for general corporate purposes. As of September 29, 2019, we had borrowings of $640.9 million outstanding under the 2017 Credit Agreement and $44.5 million outstanding on letters of credit.

 

The 2017 Credit Agreement contains covenants that require, among other items, maintenance of certain financial ratios and also limits our ability to: enter into secured and unsecured borrowing arrangements; issue dividends to shareholders; acquire and dispose of businesses; invest in capital equipment; transfer assets among domestic and international entities; participate in certain higher yielding long-term investment vehicles; and issue additional shares of our stock which limits our ability to borrow under the credit facility. The primary financial covenant is first lien net leverage, a ratio of total secured debt (less cash and cash equivalents) to total adjusted earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, and amortization based on the 12 months ended at the testing period. We were in compliance with all financial covenants related to our existing debt obligations at September 29, 2019 and

we believe it is likely that we will continue to meet such covenants for at least the next twelve months from date of issuance of the financial statements.

 

Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.0:1 as of September 29, 2019, which remained consistent with our ratio of 2.3:1 as of December 31, 2018.

As of September 29, 2019, cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaled $69.2 million. These cash and cash equivalent balances are substantially all held in foreign bank accounts. This compares to $68.5 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of December 31, 2018, substantially all of which was held in foreign bank accounts. The cash and cash equivalents located at our foreign subsidiaries may not be repatriated to the U.S. or other jurisdictions without certain tax implications. We believe that our U.S. based subsidiaries, in the aggregate, will generate positive operating cash flows. In addition, we may utilize our 2017 Credit Agreement for U.S.-based cash needs.

We expect to generate positive cash flow from operating activities sufficient to support our capital expenditures and service our debt. Based on our expected cash flows from operations and contractually available borrowings under our credit facility, we expect to have sufficient liquidity to fund working capital needs and future growth over at least the next twelve months from date of filing the quarterly financial statements. On February 28, 2018, we announced the suspension of our nominal dividend, as part of our capital deployment strategy.

There is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and China, including with respect to trade policies, treaties, government regulations and tariffs. The current U.S. administration has called for substantial changes to U.S. foreign trade policy including greater restrictions on international trade and significant increases in tariffs on good imported into the U.S. Under the current status, we expect that tariff increases will primarily impact Distributed Valves product lines. The annual impact of the tariff increase will result in higher costs of imported material, which we do not currently expect to be material.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors. There have been no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business in contractual obligations set forth in the table included within our Form 10-K.

ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk

Business performance in the Oil & Gas refining sector is largely tied to refining margins, which are also driven by the market price of crude oil and gasoline demand. Seasonal factors such as hurricanes and peak gasoline demand in the summer months may also drive high crack spread margins. During periods when high crack spread margins exist, refineries prefer to operate continuously at full capacity. Refiners may decide to delay planned maintenance (commonly called “unit turnarounds”) during these periods to maximize their returns. Refining crack spread margins moderated in 2018, which resulted in unit turnarounds. As a result, the timing of major capital projects in our severe service refinery valves business were impacted. While planned maintenance and unit turnarounds are necessary for safe and efficient operation of the refineries, project timing driven by these factors may continue to create fluctuations in our performance.

The commercial marine market experienced a historically unprecedented decade-long increase in new ship builds beginning in 2004 to meet the increase in global trade demand. This created an over-supply of capacity that resulted in a slowdown of new ship contracts between 2015 to 2018. The pumps that we supply to the commercial marine market are first supplied during commissioning of a new vessel, with aftermarket business over the lifetime of that vessel. While we have experienced increased aftermarket business during the past decade as the global shipping fleet has expanded, the downturn in new ship builds starting in 2015 has negatively impacted our new equipment commercial marine business. Any extended downturn in the commercial marine market could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations including foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. The Company has entered into a cross-currency swap agreement to hedge against future volatility in exchange rates. See Financial Instruments in Note 10.

Interest Rate Risk

Loans under our credit facility bear interest at variable rates which reset every 30 to 180 days depending on the rate and period selected by the Company. The Company entered into a hedging agreement to mitigate the inherent rate risk associated with our outstanding debt. Refer to Note 10, "Financial Instruments", of the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report Form 10-Q.

ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of September 29, 2019, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 29, 2019 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

For information regarding our legal proceedings refer to the first three paragraphs of Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which disclosure is referenced herein.

ITEM 1A.	RISK FACTORS

Except for the following additional risk factor, we have not identified any material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Actions of stockholders or others in response to expiration of the recent unsolicited tender offer could cause us to incur substantial costs, divert management’s attention and resources, and have an adverse effect on our business.

During the second quarter of 2019, we became subject to an unsolicited tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of our common stock. At the time the tender offer expired on July 19, 2019, approximately two-thirds of our issued and outstanding shares had been tendered and, as a result, we expect that we will receive additional attention and scrutiny from investors, potential acquirors, activist stockholders and others. Various actions to seek to effect change are available to such persons, including private engagement, publicity campaigns, proxy contests, litigation and other efforts to force transactions not supported by our board of directors or to acquire control over our company. Responding to such actions could be costly and time-consuming, may not align with our business strategies and could divert the attention of our board of directors and management from the management of our operations and the pursuit of business strategies. In addition, perceived uncertainties as to our future direction, strategy or leadership created as a consequence of any such actions may result in the loss of potential business opportunities, harm our ability to attract new investors, customers and employees, and cause our stock price to experience periods of volatility or stagnation.
