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” or the “Company”) 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 presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. The Company prepares its interim financial information using the same accounting principles it uses for its 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. The Company believes that the disclosures made in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited results of operations for interim periods reported are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or any other period.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from CIRCOR’s audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and notes required for annual financial statements. The Company recommends that the financial statements included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 ("2021 Annual Report").
As further described in the Explanatory Note in its 2021 Annual Report and Note 2 and Note 23 in Item 8 of the 2021 Annual Report, the Company discovered accounting irregularities in its Pipeline Engineering business unit and restated its financial statements for prior periods. The restatement of prior period financial statements includes interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021. The comparative financial statements presented for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021, are restated for the matters as further described in the 2021 Annual Report.
CIRCOR operates and reports financial information using a fiscal year ending December 31. The data periods contained within its 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 to the calendar quarter-end date. Operating results for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any future period.
Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information and statistical data included in these notes to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements relate to its continuing operations, with dollar amounts expressed in thousands (except share and per-share data). As of July, 3, 2022, the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the deconsolidation of the Catterick, UK entity of the Pipeline Engineering business.
Certain prior period amounts included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. Specifically, the Company reclassified $21.1 million from Other Assets to the Lease Right-Of-Use Asset balance and $20.0 million from Other Long-Term Liabilities to Long-Term Lease Liabilities as of December 31, 2021.
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the global economy, resulting in rapidly changing market and economic conditions. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to negatively impact the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position. The Company’s consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect management's estimates and assumptions regarding the effects of COVID-19 as of the date of the consolidated financial statements.
(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 October 2, 2022 are consistent with those discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2021 Annual Report.
9
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Some of the more significant estimates, which are impacted by management's estimates and assumptions regarding the effects of COVID-19, relate to recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived trade names, estimated total costs for ongoing long-term revenue contracts where transfer of control occurs over time, inventory valuation, share-based compensation, amortization and impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes (including valuation allowance), fair value of disposal group, pension benefit obligations, acquisition accounting, penalty accruals for late shipments, asset valuations, and product warranties. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
(3) Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenue is derived from a variety of contracts. A significant portion of 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 aerospace, defense and industrial markets. Contracts within the defense markets are primarily with U.S. military customers. These contracts typically are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations (“FAR”). The Company accounts 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.
For revenue that is recognized from products and services transferred to customers over-time, the Company uses 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. The Company uses the cost-to-cost measure of progress because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as it incurs costs on its contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, revenue is recognized 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 October 2, 2022 the Company had $215.0 million of transaction price related to remaining performance obligations which, is invoiced and paid in accordance with terms of contractual agreements. The Company expects to recognize approximately 32% of its remaining performance obligations as revenue during the remainder of 2022, 55% in 2023, and the remaining 13% in 2024 and thereafter.
In order to determine revenue recognized during the period from contract liabilities at the beginning of the period, the Company first allocates revenue to the individual contract liabilities balance outstanding at the beginning of the period until the revenue exceeds that balance. If additional advances are received on those contracts in the subsequent periods, it assumes all revenue recognized in the reporting period first applies to the beginning contract liability as opposed to a portion applying to the new advances for the period. Revenue recognized during the nine months ended October 2, 2022 that was included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period amounted to $20.2 million.

Contract assets increased by $11.8 million during the nine months ended October 2, 2022, primarily due to revenue recognized in excess of invoicing within the Defense and Industrial Pumps and Valves businesses partially offset due to invoicing upon project completion milestones in excess of revenue recognized within Refinery Valves business.
Contract liabilities increased by $1.1 million during the nine months ended October 2, 2022, primarily due to customer advances received in excess of revenue recognized in the Defense and Refinery Valves businesses, partially offset by recognition of revenue against customer advances within Industrial Pumps and Valves business.
Revenue on over time contracts is recognized as the Company, in accordance with the terms of the applicable contract, transfers control in the underlying products or services to the customer, which occurs as it incurs costs on its contracts under the cost-to-cost measure of progress. Revenue on over time contracts may be recognized before or after payments, advances or progress billings from customers are received. Recognition of revenue on over time contracts before the Company can invoice the customer can result in contract assets. Receipt of progress billings or advances from customers in advance of recognizing revenue can result in contract liabilities. Contract assets and contract liabilities amounts presented above are determined at the contract level unit of account. At the contract level it is determined whether the contract is in a net contract asset or net contract liability position.
Contract assets are generally classified between current (one year or less) and non-current (more than one year) based on factors such as when payments are due. Contract liabilities are generally classified between current and non-current based on factors such as expected timing of satisfaction of performance obligation.

The loss of control triggered deconsolidation and recognition into earnings of the related cumulative translation adjustment out of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the amount of $5.3 million during the three and six months ended July 3, 2022. The deconsolidation also resulted in a gain within restructuring of $0.6 million related to the write down of net assets through deconsolidation. The Company determined the loss of control did not qualify for reporting as a discontinued operation as it did not meet the held-for-sale criteria and did not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results.

(7) Segment Information
The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “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.

(8) Financing Arrangements
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 aggregate net fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap, which is recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities was settled during the second quarter of 2022, and the amounts as of October 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are summarized in the table below (in thousands):
Significant Other Observable Inputs Level 2 | |||||||||||
October 2, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | ||||||||||
Derivative liabilities | $ | — | $ | (2,187) | |||||||
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables and trade payables approximate fair value because of the short term 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 October 2, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Company's gross debt (before netting debt issuance costs) was $486.4 million, compared to carrying cost of $523.0 million. At December 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of the Company’s gross debt (before netting debt issuance costs) was $524.3 million, compared to carrying cost of $526.3 million. The Company’s outstanding debt balances are characterized as Level 2 financial instruments.
Financial Instruments
As of October 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had restricted cash balances of $1.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively. These balances are recorded within prepaid expenses 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.
The Company has a receivable purchasing agreement with a bank whereby the Company can sell selected accounts receivable and obtain 90% of the purchase price upfront, net of applicable discount fee, and the residual amount as the receivables are collected. During the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022, the Company sold a total of $10.2 million and $35.6 million, respectively, of receivables under the program, receiving $9.2 million and $32.0 million, respectively, in upfront cash.

The interest rate swap was a qualifying hedging instrument and was accounted for as a cash flow hedge pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The interest rate swap was settled upon its maturity during the second quarter of 2022.
18
The fair value of the interest rate swap was a net liability position of $0.0 million and $2.2 million at October 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. These balances are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $0.0 million and $2.2 million on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Debt
As of October 2, 2022, total debt (including short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt) was $501.8 million compared to $513.3 million as of December 31, 2021.

The Company made interest payments of $29.8 million and $23.3 million during the nine months ended October 2, 2022, and October 3, 2021, respectively.
In April 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment makes certain changes to the Original Credit Agreement, including (i) extending the deadline for the Company to deliver its annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, (ii) increasing the interest rate margins for (a) the term loan facility to 5.50% with respect to Eurodollar loans, (b) the revolving facility to 4.75% with respect to Eurodollar loans and (c) the swing line facility to 3.75%, (iii) in the event of a step-down in the debt ratings of the facilities, increasing the interest rate margins for the term loan facility by an additional 0.50% during any such step-down period, (iv) decreasing certain debt, lien, investment, restricted payment and affiliate transaction baskets and negative covenant thresholds by 15%, (v) further decreasing or eliminating the use of certain debt, lien, investment and restricted payment baskets during the period until the date on which the Company delivers the annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (such period, the “Restricted Period”), (vi) eliminating the minimum threshold and reinvestment rights with respect to mandatory prepayments of the term loans with the net cash proceeds of sale-leaseback transactions, subject to certain exceptions, (vii) restricting the Company’s ability to borrow swing loans or revolving loans if the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries exceeds $10.0 million and creating a requirement to prepay outstanding swing loans and revolving loans with any such excess, in each case, during the Restricted Period, (viii) resetting the “soft call” prepayment premium for an additional 12 months, and (ix) requiring the Company to hold private-side lender calls twice upon request of the Administrative Agent during the Restricted Period and promptly after the delivery of all quarterly and annual financial statements. In connection with the execution of the First Amendment, the Company paid approximately $12.5 million in customary arranger and lender consent fees, attorney fees, and reasonable and documented expenses of the Administrative Agent.
In May 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment makes certain changes to the Credit Agreement, including, to extend the deadline for the Company to deliver its annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and its quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended April 3, 2022 and July 3, 2022. In addition, the Company is required to hold private-side lender calls at least once per month upon request, and promptly after the delivery of all quarterly and annual financial statements. In connection with the execution of the Second Amendment, the Company paid approximately $4.2 million in customary arranger and lender consent fees, attorney fees, and reasonable and documented expenses of the Administrative Agent.
Prior to Amendments No.1 and No. 2, the Company had $12.6 million of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs associated with its term loan and $1.5 million unamortized deferred financing fees associated with its revolver as of April 3, 2022. Per Amendments No. 1 and No. 2, the Company incurred an additional $15.5 million of debt discount and issuance costs associated with the term loan and $1.2 million of fees associated with the revolver. The Company evaluated the accounting for this transaction under ASC 470 to determine modification versus extinguishment accounting on a creditor-by-creditor basis. During the second quarter 2022, the Company accounted for a combination of old and new debt discount and issuance costs totaling $23.1 million as a modification (recorded as a debt discount and issuance costs on the consolidated balance sheet) and accounted for $5.0 million as a debt extinguishment (included in special charges on the consolidated statements of operations). For the revolving credit facility, $1.2 million was rolled into the existing Credit Agreement (included in other assets) during the second quarter 2022 based on the borrowing capacity with the underlying banks.

(9) Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations
As permitted under Delaware law, the Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies certain of its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at its 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 the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. However, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies that insure it with respect to certain events covered under the policies and should enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid under the indemnification agreements. The Company has no liabilities recorded from those agreements as of October 2, 2022.
The Company records provisions for the estimated cost of product warranties, primarily from historical information, at the time product revenue is recognized. The Company also records provisions with respect to any significant individual warranty issues as they arise. While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, its 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 the Company’s estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.
The following table sets forth information related to product warranty reserves for the nine months ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021 (in thousands):

(10) Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims pertaining to matters such as product liability or contract disputes. The Company is also subject to other proceedings and governmental inquiries, inspections, audits or investigations pertaining to issues such as tax matters, patents and trademarks, pricing, contractual issues, business practices, governmental regulations, employment and other matters. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company expects 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 its business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Asbestos-related product liability claims continue to be filed against two of the Company's subsidiaries: CIRCOR Instrumentation Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a Hoke, Inc.) (“Hoke”), the stock of which the Company acquired in 1998, and Spence Engineering Company, Inc., the stock of which the Company acquired in 1984. The Hoke subsidiary was divested in January 2020 through the sale of the I&S business. However, the Company has indemnified the buyer for asbestos-related claims that are made against Hoke. Due to the nature of the products supplied by these entities, the markets they serve and the Company's historical experience in resolving these claims, the Company does 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.
20
During the second quarter of 2021, the Company was notified of a contract termination by one of its Industrial segment customers. The basis for termination is under dispute and the ultimate outcome of this matter is uncertain. During the fourth quarter of 2021 the Company recorded a full allowance against the outstanding receivables resulting in a charge of $6.3 million. The Company also has outstanding guarantees of its performance under the contract in the aggregate amount of $3.4 million. Further, the Company is exposed to claims from sub-contractors for contract termination. The Company has received claims from sub-contractors and has accrued an additional $1.6 million in charges during the fourth quarter of 2021 as its best estimate of probable loss. Should the negotiations or settlement process be unfavorable for the Company, the Company may be unable to collect the outstanding receivables, be exposed to risk of loss on the outstanding performance guarantees, additional claims from sub-contractors, losses in excess of amounts accrued on claims from sub-contractors and potential future claims should any be asserted.
Standby Letters of Credit
The Company executes standby letters of credit, which include bid bonds and performance bonds, in the normal course of business to ensure performance or payments to third parties. The aggregate notional value of these instruments at October 2, 2022 was $32.8 million of which $25.8 million was syndicated under the Credit Agreement. This compares with aggregate notional value of $32.5 million of which $24.7 million was syndicated under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2021. These instruments generally have expiration dates ranging from less than 1 month to 5 years from October 2, 2022.
During May 2022, a Russian customer drew on a letter of credit related to an equipment system in the amount of $3.9 million, which the Company funded. The Company is contesting the draw and is pursuing actions to recover this amount from the customer.
Restatement of Prior Period Financial Statements and Non-Timely Filing of Financial Statements
As described in Note 1, Basis of Presentation, the Company discovered accounting irregularities in its Pipeline Engineering business going back to 2017. The Company conducted an investigation into the accounting irregularities at the Pipeline Engineering business and restated its consolidated financial statements for the annual periods of 2020 and 2019, interim and year to date periods for 2020 and interim and year to date periods for the nine months ended October 3, 2021.
The Company was unable to timely file its 2021 Annual Report and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first and second quarters of 2022 with the SEC. The discovery of accounting irregularities, restatement of prior period financial statements and non-timely filing of financial statements could expose the Company to future claims and losses. The Company has self-reported the identified accounting irregularities at the Pipeline Engineering business to the SEC and the Company continues to respond to requests for information from the SEC.

The Company is required to compute income tax expense in each jurisdiction in which it operates. This process requires the Company to project its current tax liability and estimate its deferred tax assets and liabilities, including net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credit carryforwards. In assessing the ability to realize the net deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended October 2, 2022, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to adjustments to the domestic and foreign valuation allowances, and the jurisdictional mix of earnings. The effective tax rate for the three months ended October 3, 2021, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to adjustments to the domestic and foreign valuation allowances and adjustments related to uncertain tax positions.The Company recorded a full valuation allowance in the U.S. and Germany, and intends to continue maintaining valuation allowances on these deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the release of all or some portion of these allowances.
22
As of October 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $1.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits including penalty and interest, all of which would affect the Company's effective tax rate if recognized in any future period.
(13) Share-Based Compensation
As of October 2, 2022, the Company had 43,737 stock options and 383,513 Restricted Stock Unit Awards (“RSU Awards”) and Restricted Stock Unit Management Stock Plan Awards (“RSU MSPs”) outstanding. On May 25, 2021 at the Company’s annual meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the 2019 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) to increase the number of shares available for issuance by 1,000,000 shares. The 2019 Plan now authorizes issuance of up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar events). Under the 2019 Plan, there were 1,231,824 shares available for grant as of October 2, 2022.
During the nine months ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021, there were no stock options granted.
For additional information regarding the historical issuance of stock options, refer to Note 14, Share-Based Compensation to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2021 Annual Report.
During the nine months ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021, the Company granted 261,285 and 243,650 RSU Awards with approximate fair values of $19.09 and $40.58 per RSU Award, respectively. Due to the delay in filing of the 2021 Annual Report, the grant of annual equity awards, which typically takes place during the first quarter of each fiscal year, was postponed until August 2022. During the nine months ended October 2, 2022, the Company granted 42,272 performance-based RSU Awards, this compares to 70,933 performance-based RSU Awards granted during the nine months ended October 3, 2021 with a per unit discount of 33%. The performance-based RSU Awards granted in 2021 and 2022 include a market condition based on the Company's total shareholder return relative to a subset of the S&P 600 SmallCap Industrial Companies over a three year performance period. The target payout range for the 2021 and 2022 awards is 0% to 200% with a cap not to exceed 600% of the target value on the grant date. The 2021 and 2022 performance-based RSUs were valued using a Monte Carlo Simulation model to account for the market condition on grant date.
There were 11,273 RSU MSPs granted during the nine months ended October 2, 2022 with a per unit discount of $6.51. This compares to 31,248 RSU MSPs granted during the nine months ended October 3, 2021, which had a per unit discount of $13.14 per share representing fair value.
Compensation expense related to the Company’s share-based plans for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021 was $0.6 million, $1.0 million and $1.3 million, $4.2 million, respectively. The significant decrease in compensation cost in the nine months ended October 2, 2022 relates primarily to forfeitures associated with the departure of the Company's former CEO in January 2022 as well as the delay in granting annual equity awards in 2022. Compensation expense for the nine months ended October 2, 2022 was recorded as follows: $1.6 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $(0.6) million in special charges. Special charges recoveries, net relate to forfeitures associated with the departure of the Company's former CEO, partially offset by certain equity accelerations for the Company's former CEO and other Corporate staff whose positions were eliminated. Compensation expense for the nine months ended October 3, 2021 was recorded entirely in selling, general and administrative expenses. As of October 2, 2022, there were $6.6 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to the Company’s outstanding share-based compensation arrangements. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.
The weighted average contractual term for stock options outstanding and exercisable as of October 2, 2022 was 1.6 years, respectively.
The aggregate intrinsic value of RSU Awards settled during the nine months ended October 2, 2022 was $3.2 million and the aggregate intrinsic value of RSU Awards outstanding as of October 2, 2022 was $6.0 million.

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, although not all forward-looking statements are accompanied by such words. 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.

Company Overview
CIRCOR is one of the world’s leading providers of mission critical flow control products and services for the Industrial and Aerospace & Defense markets. The Company has a product portfolio of market-leading brands serving its customers’ most demanding applications. CIRCOR markets its solutions directly and through various sales and distribution partners to more than 14,000 customers in approximately 100 countries. The Company has a global presence with approximately 3,100 employees and is headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts.
We organize our reporting structure into two segments: Aerospace & Defense and Industrial. Both the current and prior periods are reported under these two segments.
The Company's Aerospace & Defense segment continues to experience lingering effects of the COVD-19 pandemic, primarily in our Commercial Aerospace end markets, and impacts from volatile foreign exchange rates and interest rates. Commercial Aerospace order rates improved in 2022 compared to 2021 as demand for OEM components and aftermarket services increased with air framer production rates and aircraft utilization. We expect that a recovery to pre-pandemic levels of demand will not occur until the end of 2023. While our Defense business has been less impacted by the pandemic, we did experience a slowdown in government spending on spare parts as well as some delays on key programs which impacted our revenues in 2022. However, we expect a return to near term and long term growth in this end market driven by our positions on key U.S. defense programs, including the Joint Strike Fighter and Columbia class submarines, strong backlog, and new product introductions in close partnership with our customers. We continue to focus on increasing our global aftermarket and deploying value-based pricing across the segment, both of which will contribute to growth and margin expansion.
The Company's Industrial reporting segment continues to experience the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and impacts driven by global energy inflation and volatile foreign exchange rates and interest rates. We exited 2021 with a strong backlog that positions the Industrial segment well for revenue growth in 2022 and beyond. We expect strong growth in our longer-cycle end markets, such as Commercial Marine and Downstream Oil & Gas, as we deliver on improved orders from 2021. Our General Industrial end market, which includes products that serve power generation, chemical processing, and other customers, is expected to experience moderate growth. We continue to focus on increasing our global aftermarket, deploying value-based pricing across the segment, and simplifying our organizational structure to drive growth and margin expansion.
In both reporting segments, the Company's results from operations were, and continue to be, adversely impacted by global supply chain constraints and rising inflation. In 2021 and into early 2022, we faced unexpected difficulties in procuring certain raw material, castings, and components, additional labor constraints due to COVID-19 and a challenging labor market as well as inflation on both material and logistics. These challenges have continued to evolve in 2022, in particular with inflation levels, including energy inflation, reaching multi-decade highs, and the corresponding volatility in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. In order to mitigate the impact of these factors on our operations and financial position, we continue to implement actions across the company including, but not limited to: list price increases and surcharges, structural cost out actions, changes in suppliers from which we procure material, and manufacturing productivity through the implementation of the CIRCOR Operating System and 80/20 across the company. Finally, continuing to attract and retain diverse and talented personnel, including the enhancement of our global sales, operations, product management and engineering organizations, remains an important part of our strategy during 2022.
Finally, we continue to monitor and evaluate additional sanctions and export restrictions that may be imposed by the U.S. Government and other governments along with any responses from Russia that could directly affect our supply chain, business partners or customers. Further tightening of sanctions or restrictions could cause us to be unable to complete contractual commitments to end customers, cause our end customers to fail to compensate us for previously ordered or delivered products, or cause funds or products to be subjected to legal holds. The aggregate revenue from customers in Russia and Ukraine for each of the fiscal years ended 2021 and 2020 was less than 1% of consolidated net revenues, primarily related to our Downstream Oil & Gas business in the Industrial reporting segment. Currently we have a pending project in Russia that could result in approximately $4.0 million reversal of unbilled and other receivable if tighter sanctions or restrictions prevented us from delivering the project and receiving payment. Additionally, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has and continues to adversely impact demand in that region, increase energy costs related to our operations, and negatively impact material cost and availability.

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.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to negatively impact the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect management's estimates and assumptions regarding the effects of COVID-19 as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
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. The critical accounting policies used in preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 are consistent with those discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2021, 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 an effort to mitigate the likelihood of material adjustments.
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Some of the more significant estimates relate to recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived trade names, estimated total costs for ongoing long-term revenue contracts where transfer of control occurs over time, inventory valuation, share-based compensation, amortization and impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes (including valuation allowance), fair value of disposal group, pension benefit obligations, acquisition accounting, penalty accruals for late shipments, asset valuations, and product warranties. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Our critical accounting estimates are more fully discussed in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Company is required to compute income tax expense in each jurisdiction in which it operates. This process requires the Company to project its current tax liability and estimate its deferred tax assets and liabilities, including net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credit carryforwards. In assessing the ability to realize the net deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended October 2, 2022, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to adjustments to the domestic and foreign valuation allowances and the jurisdictional mix of earnings. The effective tax rate for the three months ended October 3, 2021, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to adjustments to the domestic and foreign valuation allowances and adjustments related to uncertain tax positions. The Company recorded a full valuation allowance in the U.S. and Germany, and intends to continue maintaining valuation allowances on these deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the release of all or some portion of these allowances.

The Company is required to compute income tax expense in each jurisdiction in which it operates. This process requires the Company to project its current tax liability and estimate its deferred tax assets and liabilities, including NOL and tax credit carryforwards. In assessing the ability to realize the net deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 2, 2022, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to adjustments to the domestic and foreign valuation allowances, and the jurisdictional mix of earnings. The effective tax rate for the three months ended October 3, 2021, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to adjustments to the domestic and foreign valuation allowances and adjustments related to uncertain tax positions.The Company recorded a full valuation allowance in the U.S. and Germany, and intends to continue maintaining valuation allowances on these deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the release of all or some portion of these allowances.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
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 most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
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 have adequate liquidity, with resources available for reinvesting in existing businesses 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):

During the nine months ended October 2, 2022, cash used in operations was $29.3 million compared to cash used in operations of $0.1 million during the prior corresponding period. The $29.2 million increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to non-cash gains on sale of real estate, increases in inventories and reduction in AP, accrued expenses and other liabilities.
During the nine months ended October 2, 2022, cash provided by investing activities was $45.2 million compared to $1.0 million cash provided by investing activities in the prior corresponding period. The $44.2 million period over period increase in cash generated was primarily driven by the cash received from the sale of two properties within the Industrial segment located in Walden, New York and Tampa, Florida and one property within the Aerospace and Defense segment in Corona, California.
During the nine months ended October 2, 2022, cash used in financing activities was $21.3 million as compared to $7.1 million during the prior corresponding period. The $14.2 million period over period increase in cash used in financing activities is primarily a result of the payment of $16.7 million of debt issuance costs paid in 2022 associated with the Credit Agreement amendments.
As of October 2, 2022, total debt (including current portion and other short-term borrowings) was $501.8 million compared to $513.3 million as of December 31, 2021. Total debt is net of unamortized term loan debt issuance costs of $21.2 million and $13.0 million at October 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Total debt as a percentage of total shareholders’ equity was 411% as of October 2, 2022 compared to 384% as of December 31, 2021.

We entered into a new secured Credit Agreement, dated December 20, 2021 (“New Credit Agreement”), which provides for a $100.0 million revolving line of credit with a five year maturity and a $530.0 million term loan with a seven year maturity of which the term loan was funded in full at closing. This New Credit Agreement replaced and terminated the Credit Agreement dated December 11, 2017 under which the Company had borrowings of $492.0 million on its term loan and $38.7 million on its revolving line of credit as of, December 20, 2021. During the three months ended July 3, 2022, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement in April 2022 and the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement in May 2022. See further discussion within Note 8, Financing Arrangements.
The New 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 certain types of additional shares of our stock which limits our ability to borrow under the credit facility. The primary financial covenant is total net leverage, a ratio of total secured debt (less cash and cash equivalents up to a maximum of $75.0 million) to total earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, and amortization based on the four fiscal quarters at the testing period. The Company amended its New Credit Agreement with the First Amendment on April 8, 2022 and the Second Amendment on May 27, 2022. See further discussion within Note 8, Financing Arrangements.
As of October 2, 2022, we had gross borrowings of $489.6 million outstanding under our term loan, $33.4 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility and $32.8 million outstanding letters of credit with available capacity to borrow an additional $40.8 million under the revolving credit facility, subject to the terms and conditions of that facility.
We were in compliance with all financial covenants related to our existing debt obligations at October 2, 2022 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.
As of October 2, 2022, cash and cash equivalent balances, totaled $47.1 million. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances are held in foreign bank accounts. This compares to $59.9 million of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021, 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. If we should require more capital in the U.S. than is generated by our domestic operations, we could elect to repatriate future earnings from foreign jurisdictions or we may utilize our New Credit Agreement. These alternatives could result in a higher effective tax rate or increase to our interest expense.
Based on our existing cash reserves, 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.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Market Risk
In both reporting segments, the Company's performance continues to be adversely impacted by global supply chain constraints, rising inflation including global energy inflation, and volatility in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. In 2021 and into early 2022, we faced unexpected difficulties in procuring certain raw material, castings, and components, additional labor constraints due to COVID-19 and a challenging labor market, and inflation on both material and logistics. These challenges have continued to evolve in 2022, with inflation levels reaching multi-decade highs. In order to mitigate the impact of these factors on our operations and financial position, we continue to implement actions across the company including, but not limited to: list price increases and surcharges, structural cost out actions, changes in suppliers from which we procure material, and manufacturing productivity through the implementation of the CIRCOR Operating System across the company. Additionally, we continue to monitor and evaluate additional sanctions and export restrictions that may be imposed by the U.S. Government and other governments along with any responses from Russia that could directly affect our supply chain, business partners or customers. The aggregate revenue from customers in Russia and Ukraine for each of the fiscal years ended 2021 and 2020 was less than 1% of consolidated net revenues, primarily related to our Downstream Oil & Gas business in the Industrial reporting segment. However, the conflict in Russia and Ukraine is likely to adversely impact demand in that region, increase energy costs related to our operations, and negatively impact material cost and availability.
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. During 2019, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap (“cross-currency swap”) agreement to hedge against future volatility in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. The cross-currency swap was pursuant to an ISDA Master Agreement with Deutsche Bank AG and provided for early termination if the counterparty ceased to be part of the Company’s secured lender group. Concurrent with the closing of the Credit Agreement, the cross-currency swap was terminated in December 2021. For additional information regarding our foreign currency exchange risk refer to Note 8, Financing Arrangements, of the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report Form 10-Q.
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. These loans are subject to interest rate risk as interest rates will be adjusted at each rollover date to the extent such amounts are not repaid. As of October 2, 2022, the interest rate on the Company's term loan portion was 8.584%. In 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to mitigate the inherent rate risk associated with our outstanding variable rate debt. This hedging instrument matured in April 2022 and the Company is currently unhedged against changes in interest rates. Refer to Financial Instruments in Note 8, Financing Arrangements, 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 interim Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and interim 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. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information we disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our interim CEO and interim CFO concluded that, as of July 3, 2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.
The Company did not maintain a sufficient number of finance and accounting personnel across the organization to identify and prevent the misstatements that resulted in the restatement of the prior period financial statements.
This material weakness contributed to the following additional material weaknesses detailed below.
a.The Company did not maintain a sufficient level of centralized oversight over smaller reporting locations. Specifically, the Company did not adequately design controls to validate the completeness and accuracy of amounts that were used in controls designed to mitigate the risks of material misstatements within significant accounts of smaller reporting locations. Also, the Company did not design and maintain effective controls over the preparation, review and approval of cash account reconciliations and did not obtain direct access to bank accounts at certain smaller reporting locations.
b.The Company did not maintain a sufficient complement of effective process level controls at smaller locations to validate activity recorded within the trial balances of smaller reporting locations based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issue by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Additionally, the Company did not maintain sufficient level of monitoring of that activity at the segment level.
These material weaknesses resulted in misstatements to the Company’s consolidated financial statements across a number of financial statement line items, including but not limited to revenues, net income, goodwill, cash and cash equivalents and other working capital accounts resulting in restatement of the prior period financial statements.
As part of the Company's review of interim control testing during August and September of 2022, the Company determined it did not have effective IT general controls over certain IT applications supporting financial reporting. Process-level automated controls and manual controls that were dependent upon the information derived from IT systems were also determined to be ineffective as a result of the IT general control deficiencies.
Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company has been actively addressing the identified material weaknesses. Actions have been taken to strengthen controls, and further actions are planned including:
a.The Company is in the process of reassessing its staffing needs and adding personnel in key roles or external resources as necessary, to address the identified control gaps
b.Redesign monitoring controls to provide more direct and centralized oversight over smaller reporting locations
c.Implement additional controls targeted to prevent and detect a material misstatement arising at smaller reporting locations including an additional control designed to have Corporate independently review cash account reconciliations and obtain direct access to bank accounts of the Company’s smaller reporting locations
d.Continue training on a regular basis related to internal control over financial reporting for finance, accounting and IT personnel
e.Enhancing the design, timing and review controls of IT general controls
f.Implementing additional monitoring controls by management over the execution and timeliness of the Company's IT general controls
The Company expects that the actions described above and resulting improvements in controls will strengthen its internal control over financial reporting and will address the identified material weaknesses. The Company does not anticipate that the material weaknesses will be fully remediated by December 31, 2022.
37
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the changes related to the remediation efforts described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 2, 2022, 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 two paragraphs of Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which disclosure is referenced herein.
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
The Company is supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 ("the 2021 Annual Report") with the following risk factors. Additional information regarding risk factors can be found in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part I—Item 2 of this Form 10-Q and in Part I—Item 1A of the 2021 Annual Report.
The costs of complying with existing or future governmental regulations on importing and exporting practices and of curing any violations of these regulations, could increase our expenses, reduce our revenues or reduce our profitability.
We are subject to a variety of laws and international trade practices, including regulations issued by certain United States governmental agencies and authorities in the European Union. We cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which our international trading practices might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted. Future regulations could limit the countries into which certain of our products may be sold or could restrict our access to, and increase the cost of obtaining products from, foreign sources. We continue to monitor and evaluate additional sanctions and export restrictions that may be imposed by the U.S. Government with respect to Russia, and any responses from Russia, that could impact our business. Sanctions or restrictions could cause us to be unable to complete contractual commitments to end customers, cause our end customers to fail to compensate us for previously ordered or delivered products, or cause funds or products to be subjected to legal holds. The aggregate revenue from customers in Russia and Ukraine for each of the fiscal years ended 2021 and 2020 was less than 1% of consolidated net revenues, primarily related to our Downstream Oil & Gas business in the Industrial reporting segment. Currently we have a pending project in Russia that could result in a $4.0 million reversal of unbilled and other receivable if tighter sanctions or restrictions prevented us from delivering the project and receiving payment. In addition, actual or alleged violations of such regulations could result in enforcement actions and/or financial penalties that could result in substantial costs.
