NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018
(Unaudited)


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

During the second quarter, Kaman Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively "the Company") announced an agreement to sell Kaman Industrial Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Distribution segment") to affiliates of Littlejohn & Co., LLC for $700.0 million in cash, subject to customary closing conditions and working capital adjustments. As a result of the agreement, the Distribution segment met "held for sale" criteria in the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2019. The Distribution segment's results of operations and the related cash flows from this business have been reclassified to earnings from discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and cash flows from discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, respectively, for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of the Distribution segment have been reclassified to assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 28, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The sale is expected to close during the third quarter of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions and the receipt of certain required consents and approvals. See Note 4, Discontinued Operations, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this report. Certain amounts in prior year financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be expected for the entire year.

The Company has a calendar year-end; however, its first three fiscal quarters follow a 13-week convention, with each quarter ending on a Friday. The second quarters for 2019 and 2018 ended on June 28, 2019, and June 29, 2018, respectively.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02 "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income". The objective of this standard is to address the concern that tax effects of items within accumulated other comprehensive income do not appropriately reflect the tax rate because the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 ("Tax Reform") required the adjustment of deferred taxes be recorded to income. This ASU provides an entity the election to reclassify stranded tax effects resulting from Tax Reform to retained earnings from accumulated other comprehensive income. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2018-02 resulted in an increase to retained earnings of $23.1 million, primarily related to the stranded tax effects resulting from Tax Reform for pension and other post-retirement benefits.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities". The objective of this standard update is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better reflect the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. This ASU expands hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and refines the measurement of hedge results to better reflect an entity's hedging strategies. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

(Unaudited)

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted - continued

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") Overnight Index Swap ("OIS") Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes". The Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York initiated an effort to introduce an alternative reference rate to LIBOR in the United States. This standard update permits the use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption was permitted. The amendments in this ASU were required to be adopted concurrently with the amendments in ASU 2017-12. The adoption of this standard update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under this ASU as amended, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged under this ASU as amended. This standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective transition method allowing entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. As a result, the Company applied ASC 842 only to leases that existed as of January 1, 2019 and did not restate prior periods. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in a net increase of approximately $90.0 million to its assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2019 due to the addition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases on the balance sheet; however, it did not have a material impact on the Company's cash flows, results of operations or debt covenant compliance. The majority of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities recorded on January 1, 2019 for operating leases relate to the Distribution segment and were included in assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale, respectively, on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 28, 2019.

The Company has elected the following practical expedients (which must be elected as a package and applied consistently to all leases): an entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, an entity need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and an entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. Additionally, the Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component and account for those components as a single component for real estate leases. Nonlease components for the Company's vehicle and other equipment leases are not material. The Company has elected not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases, and will recognize the lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-02, the FASB has issued the following updates: ASU 2018-10, "Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases", ASU 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements - Transition - Comparative Reporting at Adoption" and ASU 2019-01, "Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements". The amendments in these updates affect the guidance contained within ASU 2016-02 and were similarly adopted on January 1, 2019. See Note 3, Significant Accounting Policies Update, for further information on the impact of these standard updates.

Recent Accounting Standards Yet to be Adopted

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses". The amendment clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20 and impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)

Recent Accounting Standards Yet to be Adopted - continued

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) - Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract". The objective of the standard update is to provide additional guidance on the accounting for costs of implementation activities performed in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to address the diversity in practice. The ASU requires an entity in a hosting arrangement that is a service arrangement to determine which costs to capitalize as an asset related to a service contract and which costs to expense, and to determine which project stage implementation activities relate to. Costs for implementation activities in the application development stage are capitalized depending on the nature of the costs, while costs incurred during the preliminary project and postimplementation stages are expensed as the activities are performed. Capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement are expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement in the same line item in the statement of operations as the fees associated with the hosting element of the arrangement. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this standard update should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the inception date. The Company has elected to adopt the standard update prospectively. The adoption of this standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans". The objective of the standard update is to improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. This standard update removes disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial, clarifies specific requirements of disclosures and adds new disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement". The objective of this standard update is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. This standard update removes certain disclosure requirements that are no longer considered cost beneficial, modifies existing disclosure requirements and adds new disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of the ASU and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until the effective date. The adoption of this standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". The objective of this standard update is to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this ASU, an entity should perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, assuming the loss recognized does not exceed the total amount of goodwill for the reporting unit. The standard update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The impact of the adoption of this standard update is dependent on the Company's goodwill impairment assessment.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments". The objective of this standard update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The amendments in this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The standard update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. An entity will apply the amendments in this ASU through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The adoption of this standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)

Recent Accounting Standards Yet to be Adopted - continued

Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB has issued the following updates: ASU 2018-19, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses", ASU 2019-04, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments" and ASU 2019-05, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Targeted Transition Relief". The amendments in these updates affect the guidance within ASU 2016-13 and have been assessed with ASU 2016-13.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES UPDATE

The Company's significant accounting policies are detailed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2018. Significant changes to our accounting policies as a result of adopting new accounting standards are discussed below:

Leasing

Under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, the Company determines if a contract contains a lease at the inception date of the contract. To determine if the contract contains a lease, the Company evaluates if there is an identified asset in the contract and if the Company has control over the use of the identified asset. There is an identified asset in the contract if the asset is explicitly or implicitly specified in the contract, the asset is physically distinct or the Company has the right to receive substantially all of the asset's capacity, and if the supplier does not have substantive substitution rights. The Company has control over the use of the identified asset if the Company obtains substantially all economic benefits from the use of the asset and can direct the use of the asset. The Company applied the practical expedient for any contracts that existed prior to January 1, 2019; therefore, the contracts were not reassessed to determine if they contain leases.

The Company must classify each lease as a finance lease or operating lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if the Company will own the asset by the end of the lease term, the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the purchase option, the lease term covers a major part of the asset's economic life, the sum of the present value of the lease payments and the present value of the residual value guarantee not included in the lease payments equal or exceed substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset at lease commencement or if the lessor has no alternative use for the asset. If any of these criteria are not met, the lease is classified as an operating lease. The Company applied the practical expedient for any leases that existed prior to January 1, 2019; therefore, the lease classifications of existing leases were not reassessed (all existing leases classified as operating leases under ASC 840 were classified as operating leases under ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 and all existing leases classified as capital leases under ASC 840 were classified as finance leases under ASC 842 on January 1, 2019).

The Company's operating leases consist of rent commitments under various leases for office space, warehouses, land and buildings at varying dates from January 2019 to December 2024. The terms of most of these leases are in the range of 3 to 7 years, with certain leases renewable for varying periods and certain leases including options to terminate the leases. While some of the Company's leases include options allowing early termination of the lease, the Company historically has not terminated its lease agreements early unless there is an economic, financial or business reason to do so. It is expected that in the normal course of business leases that expire will be renewed or replaced by leases on other similar property. Some of the Company's leases have fixed amount rent escalations or contingent rent that are recognized on a straight-line basis over the entire lease term. Material leasehold improvements and other landlord incentives are amortized over the shorter of their economic lives or the lease term, including renewal periods, if reasonably assured. Substantially all real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance expenses associated with leased facilities are obligations of the Company. The terms for most machinery and equipment leases range from 3 to 5 years.

The majority of the Company's finance leases consist of assets purchased under the Company's master leasing agreement with PNC Equipment Finance ("PNC"), and are included in machinery, office furniture and equipment and construction in process. At June 28, 2019, the Company's master leasing agreement with PNC had a maximum capacity of $20.0 million. The terms of these leases are 5 years. Amortization of these assets is included in depreciation and amortization expense.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES UPDATE (CONTINUED)

Leasing - continued

At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset and lease liability are recorded to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets when the Company obtains control of the use of the asset. Right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make payments upon entering into a lease agreement. The initial measurement of the lease liability is equal to the present value of the unpaid lease payments. Subsequent to the initial measurement, the lease liability continues to be measured at the present value of unpaid lease payments throughout the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured if the lease is modified and the modification is not accounted for as a separate contract, there is a change in the assessment of the lease term, the assessment of a purchase option exercise or the amount probable of being owed under a residual value guarantee, or a contingency is resolved resulting in some or all of the variable lease payments becoming fixed payments. The initial measurement of the right-of-use asset is equal to the total of the initial measurement of the lease liability, incremental costs to obtain the lease and prepaid lease payments, less any lease incentives received. Subsequent to the initial measurement, the right-of-use asset for a finance lease is equivalent to the initial measurement less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Generally, amortization of finance leases is recorded to cost of sales on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Subsequent to initial measurement, the right-of-use asset for an operating lease is equivalent to initial measurement less accumulated amortization (the difference between the straight-line lease cost for the period and the accretion of the lease liability using the effective interest method). The Company has elected not to apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term leases (leases that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of twelve months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise) as permissible under the standard. For short-term leases, the Company recognizes lease payments on a straight-line basis and variable payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

Leasing contracts can be separated into lease components, non-lease components and items that are not components of the contract (items that do not transfer a good or service to the Company). Two or more contracts may be combined if at least one of which is or contains a lease entered into or near the same time with the same counterparty and consider the contracts as a single transaction if the contracts are negotiated as a package with the same objective, the amount of consideration to be paid in one contract depends on the price of performance of the other contract or the rights to use the underlying assets conveyed in the contracts are a single lease component. Lease components are considered separate if the Company can benefit from the right to use either on its own or together with other resources readily available to the Company and the right to use is not highly dependent or highly interrelated with the other rights to use the underlying assets in the contract. Consideration in the contract is allocated only to lease and non-lease components of a contract. The Company has elected the practical expedient allowing the Company to combine lease and non-lease components by class as a single lease component for its real estate leases. Nonlease components for the Company's vehicles and other equipment leases are not material.

The lease term is the noncancellable period for which a lessee has the right to use an underlying asset, including periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. For renewal options, the Company performs an assessment at commencement if it is reasonably likely to exercise the option. The assessment is based on the Company's intentions, past practices, estimates and factors that create an economic incentive for the Company. Generally, the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise the renewal option in a lease contract as it performs an assessment for most real estate leases within six months prior to termination comparing the renewal rents under the option with the fair market returns for equivalent property under similar terms and conditions. Although the Company does not historically change locations often, it is not reasonably certain the Company will exercise the renewal option; therefore, the periods covered by the renewal option are not typically included in the lease term at commencement. While some of the Company's leases include options allowing early termination of the lease, the Company historically has not terminated its lease agreements early unless there is an economic, financial or business reason to do so; therefore, the Company does not typically consider the termination option in its lease term at commencement.

Consideration in the contract is the sum of lease payments relating to the use of the underlying asset, fixed payments and other in-substance fixed payments, less any incentives received. Remeasurement of variable lease payments based on an index is only required if remeasurement is required for another reason, such as a change in lease term or change in estimates of probable payments under residual value guarantees. If remeasured, the remeasurement date becomes the new date for updating the payments based on the index.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES UPDATE (CONTINUED)

Leasing - continued

The Company uses the discount rate implicit in a lease contract, if available. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. For any leases that existed prior to the adoption of the standard, the Company used the incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019 based on the type of asset and term of the lease. The Company separated its real estate leases by classes of lease terms and used the incremental borrowing rate consistent with its lease term class to determine the present value of lease payments. As most of the Company's vehicles have a four-year lease term, the Company used the incremental borrowing rate consistent with a four-year lease term for all vehicles. For all other equipment leases, the Company used the incremental borrowing rate consistent with a five-year lease term as the majority of the Company's leases for other equipment have a five-year lease term.

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In the second quarter of 2019, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Distribution segment to affiliates of Littlejohn & Co., LLC for total cash consideration of $700.0 million subject to customary closing conditions and working capital adjustments. The agreement to sell the Distribution segment was a result of the Company's shift in strategy to be a highly focused, technologically differentiated aerospace and engineered products company. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions and the receipt of certain required consents and approvals. Upon closing, the Company anticipates entering into a transition services agreement with affiliates of Littlejohn & Co., LLC to support information technology, human resources and benefits, tax and treasury functions for six to twelve months, with the option to extend an additional year for certain services. As a result of the definitive agreement, the Distribution segment met the criteria set forth in ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations for assets held for sale and discontinued operations.

5. RESTRUCTURING COSTS

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company initiated restructuring activities at its Aerospace segment to support the ongoing effort of improving capacity utilization and operating efficiency to better position the Company for increased profitability and growth. Such actions include workforce reductions and the consolidation of operations, beginning in the third quarter of 2017 through the planned completion of restructuring activities in 2019. The Company currently expects these actions to result in approximately $9.5 million in pre-tax restructuring and transition charges and, beginning in 2019, will result in total cost savings of approximately $4.0 million annually.

The following table summarizes the accrual balances by cost type for the restructuring actions:

The above accrual balance was included in other current liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Since the announcement of these restructuring activities, restructuring expense as of June 28, 2019 was $9.1 million. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019, the Aerospace segment incurred $0.2 million and $0.5 million in costs, respectively, associated with the restructuring activities described above. Included in the expense for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019 was $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of cost that relates to the write-off of inventory for various small order programs that the Company will no longer continue to manufacture as a result of the consolidation of operations. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, the Aerospace segment incurred $1.5 million and $2.3 million in costs, respectively, associated with the restructuring activities described above.

5. RESTRUCTURING COSTS (CONTINUED)

Other Matters

In addition to the restructuring above, for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, the Aerospace segment incurred $0.3 million and $1.2 million in costs, respectively, associated with the termination of certain distributor agreements and separation costs for certain employees not covered by the restructuring activities noted above. These amounts are not included in the table above.

The Distribution segment incurred $0.1 million in separation costs for certain employees in the three-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018, which was included in earnings from discontinued operations on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

7. CONTRACT ASSETS, CONTRACT COSTS AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES

Contract assets consist of unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under long-term contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract costs consist of costs to obtain and fulfill a contract. Costs to fulfill a contract primarily consist of nonrecurring engineering costs incurred at the start of a new program for which such costs are expected to be recovered under existing and future contracts. Such costs are amortized over the estimated revenue amount of the contract. Costs to obtain a contract consist of commissions and agent fees paid in connection with the award of a contract. Contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of costs incurred and deferred revenue.

Contract Assets

The increase in contract assets was primarily due to the recognition of revenue related to the satisfaction or partial satisfaction of performance obligations during the six-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019. This increase was primarily related to work performed and not yet billed on the JPF program with the USG, and certain metallic structures programs, partially offset by amounts billed on the SH-2G program with Peru. There were no significant impairment losses related to the Company's contract assets during the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018.

Contract assets includes amounts for matters such as contract changes, negotiated settlements and claims for unanticipated contract costs. These amounts are as follows:

Contract Costs

At June 28, 2019, costs to fulfill a contract and costs to obtain a contract were $6.3 million and $8.0 million, respectively. At December 31, 2018, costs to fulfill a contract and costs to obtain a contract were $8.9 million and $7.8 million, respectively. These amounts are included in contract costs, current portion and contract costs, noncurrent portion on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 28, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The decrease in contract costs, current portion was primarily attributable to the amortization of contract costs, partially offset by the reclassification of a portion of costs to obtain a JPF DCS contract and costs to fulfill certain metallic structures programs from contract costs, noncurrent portion. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019, amortization of contract costs was $2.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, amortization of contract costs was $1.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

The decrease in contract costs, noncurrent portion was due to the reclassification of a portion of costs to obtain a JPF DCS contract and costs to fulfill certain metallic structures programs to contract costs, current portion.

Contract Liabilities

The increase in contract liabilities, current portion was primarily due to the reclassification of a portion of the advance payments received for a JPF DCS contract from contract liabilities, noncurrent portion and an advance payment received on the K-MAX® program, partially offset by revenue recognized on the K-MAX® program and a JPF DCS contract. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019, revenue recognized related to contract liabilities, current portion was $6.0 million and $14.0 million, respectively. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, revenue recognized related to contract liabilities, current portion was $1.4 million and $6.4 million, respectively.

The decrease in contract liabilities, noncurrent portion was due to the reclassification of a portion of the advance payments received for a JPF DCS contract to contract liabilities, current portion. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, the Company did not recognize revenue against contract liabilities, noncurrent portion.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: 
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The following table presents the carrying value and fair value of financial instruments that are not carried at fair value:

(1) These amounts are classified within Level 2.

The above fair values were computed based on quoted market prices and discounted future cash flows (observable inputs), as applicable. Differences from carrying values are attributable to interest rate changes subsequent to when the transactions occurred.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net and accounts payable - trade approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company holds derivative instruments for foreign exchange contracts that are measured at fair value using observable market inputs such as forward rates and its counterparties’ credit risks. Based on these inputs, the derivative instruments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. At June 28, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the derivative instruments were included in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Based on the Company's continued ability to trade and enter into forward contracts and interest rate swaps, the Company considers the markets for its fair value instruments to be active.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements - continued

The Company evaluated the credit risk associated with the counterparties to these derivative instruments and determined that as of June 28, 2019, such credit risks have not had an adverse impact on the fair value of these instruments.

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including market risks relating to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair values of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is effective as part of a hedged transaction. Gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive income are subsequently included in earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Forward Exchange Contracts

The Company holds forward exchange contracts designed to hedge forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies and to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the Company’s earnings and cash flows. Some of these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company will include in earnings amounts currently included in accumulated other comprehensive income upon recognition of cost of sales related to the underlying transaction. These contracts were not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 28, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The activity related to these contracts was not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018.

At June 28, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $42.4 million and $34.7 million, respectively, of K-MAX® inventory, including inventory associated with the new build aircraft, was included in contracts and other work in process inventory and finished goods on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management believes that approximately $22.4 million of the K-MAX® inventory will be sold after June 28, 2020, based upon the anticipation of additional aircraft manufacturing and supporting the fleet for the foreseeable future.

At June 28, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $5.2 million and $5.4 million, respectively, of SH-2G(I) inventory was included in contracts and other work in process inventory on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management believes that approximately $5.0 million of the SH-2G(I) inventory will be sold after June 28, 2020. This balance represents spares requirements and inventory to be used on SH-2G programs.

11. UNFULFILLED PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS

Unfulfilled performance obligations ("backlog") represents the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts. As of June 28, 2019, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to backlog for continuing operations was $843.8 million. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately $513.5 million of this amount over the next 12 months, with the remaining amount to be recognized thereafter. At December 31, 2018, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to backlog for continuing operations was $851.8 million.

13. PENSION PLANS (CONTINUED)

During the six-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019, the Company contributed $0.3 million to the SERP and plans to contribute an additional $0.2 million to the SERP in 2019. The Company does not anticipate making any contributions to the qualified pension plan in 2019. For the 2018 plan year, the Company contributed $30.0 million to the qualified pension plan and $0.9 million to the SERP.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Pension Freeze

Effective December 31, 2015, the Company's qualified pension plan was frozen with respect to future benefit accruals. Under USG Cost Accounting Standard (“CAS”) 413 the Company must determine the USG’s share of any pension curtailment adjustment calculated in accordance with CAS. Such adjustments can result in an amount due to the USG for pension plans that are in a surplus position or an amount due to the contractor for plans that are in a deficit position. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company accrued a $0.3 million liability representing its estimate of the amount due to the USG based on the Company's pension curtailment adjustment calculation, which was submitted to the USG for review in December 2016. The Company has maintained its accrual at $0.3 million as of June 28, 2019. There can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

New Hartford Property

In connection with the sale of the Company’s Music segment in 2007, the Company assumed responsibility for meeting certain requirements of the Connecticut Transfer Act (the “Transfer Act”) that applied to the transfer of the New Hartford, Connecticut, facility leased by that segment for guitar manufacturing purposes (“Ovation”). Under the Transfer Act, those responsibilities essentially consist of assessing the site's environmental conditions and remediating environmental impairments, if any, caused by Ovation's operations prior to the sale. The site is a multi-tenant industrial park, in which Ovation and other unrelated entities lease space. The environmental assessment process, which began in 2008, has been completed and site remediation is in process.

The Company's estimate of its portion of the cost to assess the environmental conditions and remediate this site is $2.3 million, all of which has been accrued. The remediation has been substantially completed and the Company continues to monitor the results of the remediation. The total amount paid to date in connection with these environmental remediation activities is $1.6 million. At June 28, 2019, the Company had $0.7 million accrued for these environmental remediation activities. A portion ($0.1 million) of the accrual related to this property is included in other current liabilities and the balance is included in other long-term liabilities. The remaining balance of the accrual reflects the total anticipated cost of completing these environmental remediation activities. Although it is reasonably possible that additional costs will be paid in connection with the resolution of this matter, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of such additional costs, if any, at this time.

Bloomfield Property

In connection with the Company’s 2008 purchase of the portion of the Bloomfield campus that Kaman Aerospace Corporation had leased from NAVAIR, the Company assumed responsibility for environmental remediation at the facility as may be required under the Transfer Act and is currently remediating the property under the guidance of the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection ("CTDEP"). The assumed environmental liability of $10.3 million was determined by taking the undiscounted estimated remediation liability of $20.8 million and discounting it at a rate of 8%. This remediation process will take many years to complete. The total amount paid to date in connection with these environmental remediation activities is $14.0 million. At June 28, 2019, the Company had $2.2 million accrued for these environmental remediation activities. A portion ($0.3 million) of the accrual related to this property is included in other current liabilities, and the balance is included in other long-term liabilities. Although it is reasonably possible that additional costs will be paid in connection with the resolution of this matter, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of such additional costs, if any, at this time.

Rimpar Property

In connection with the Company's purchase of GRW, the Company assumed responsibility for the environmental remediation at the Rimpar, Germany facility. In 2016, the Company completed an assessment which determined the estimated remediation liability was $0.5 million. The total amount paid to date in connection with these environmental remediation activities is $0.2 million. The balance ($0.3 million) of the accrual related to this property is included in other current liabilities. Although it is reasonably possible that additional costs will be paid in connection with the resolution of this matter, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of such additional costs, if any, at this time.

Aerospace Claim Matter

In October 2017, the Company received a letter from its customer seeking to recover $12.4 million associated with the rework of certain aerostructures components previously delivered by the Company and related costs incurred by the customer; however, the Company estimated the cost to rework these aerostructure components was $0.2 million. During April 2019, the Company and the customer reached an agreement to settle the matter for $0.2 million, which was paid subsequent to the second quarter of 2019.

Offset Agreement

During January 2018, the Company entered into an offset agreement as a condition to obtaining orders from a foreign customer for the Company's JPF product. This agreement is designed to return economic value to the foreign country by requiring the Company to engage in activities supporting local defense or commercial industries, promoting a balance of trade, developing in-country technology capabilities or addressing other local development priorities. The offset agreement may be satisfied through activities that do not require a direct cash payment, including transferring technology, providing manufacturing, training and other consulting support to in-country projects and the purchase by third parties of supplies from in-country vendors. This agreement may also be satisfied through the Company's use of cash for activities, such as subcontracting with local partners, purchasing supplies from in-country vendors, providing financial support for in-country projects and making investments in local ventures. At June 28, 2019, the offset agreement had an outstanding notional value of approximately $194.0 million, which is equal to sixty percent of the contract value of $324.0 million as defined by the agreement between the customer and the Company. The amount ultimately applied against the offset agreement is based on negotiations with the customer and may require cash outlays that represent only a fraction of the notional value in the offset agreement.

The Company continues to work with the customer to further define the requirements to satisfy the offset agreement. The satisfaction of the offset requirements will be determined by the customer and is expected to occur over a seven-year period. In the event the offset requirements of the contract are not met, the Company could be liable for potential penalties up to $16.5 million payable to the customer. The Company has not recognized any revenue associated with this contract and has considered the potential penalties of $16.5 million as a reduction to the transaction price in its determination of the value of the remaining performance obligations within this contract.

Employee-Related Tax Matter

During 2018, the Company identified certain individuals at one of its foreign subsidiaries who were potentially misclassified as self-employed persons performing services for the subsidiary, as opposed to being classified as employees of the subsidiary. The Company investigated the misclassification of these individuals and the potential liability for any associated social contributions, interest and fines and/or penalties as a result of the misclassification. Following the internal investigation, the foreign subsidiary made a voluntary disclosure of the matter to the appropriate legal and regulatory authorities. The Company has accrued $2.5 million, which represents the Company's best estimate of potentially unpaid social security contributions, related interest and possible penalties. There can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

15. LEASES

The Company's operating leases consist of rent commitments under various leases for office space, warehouses, land and buildings at varying dates from January 2019 to December 2024. The terms of most of these leases are in the range of 3 to 7 years, with certain leases renewable for varying periods. It is expected that in the normal course of business leases that expire will be renewed or replaced by leases on other similar property. Some the Company's lease obligations have rent escalations or contingent rent that are recognized on a straight-line basis over the entire lease term. Material leasehold improvements and other landlord incentives are amortized over the shorter of their economic lives or the lease term, including renewal periods, if reasonably assured. Substantially all real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance expenses associated with leased facilities are obligations of the Company. The terms for most machinery and equipment leases range from 3 to 5 years.

The Company's finance leases consist of assets purchased under the Company's master leasing agreement with PNC, including machinery, office furniture and equipment and construction in process. At June 28, 2019, the Company's master leasing agreement with PNC had a total capacity to $20.0 million. The terms of these leases are 5 years. Amortization of these assets is included in depreciation and amortization expense. At June 28, 2019, $7.7 million of assets included in property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, were accounted for as finance leases purchased under the Company's master leasing agreement with PNC. At June 28, 2019, the Company had accumulated depreciation of $1.9 million associated with these assets. Additionally, $3.2 million of assets purchased under the Company's master leasing agreement were included in construction in process in property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation. At December 31, 2018, $10.8 million of assets purchased under the Company's master leasing agreement and accounted for as capital leases were included in property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, with accumulated depreciation of $1.5 million. Finance leases (capital leases at December 31, 2018) of the Distribution segment were included in assets held for sale, noncurrent portion on the Company's Condensed Balance Sheets. See Note 4, Discontinued Operations, for further information on the Company's agreement to sell the Distribution segment.

At the commencement date of a contract containing a lease, a right-of-use asset and lease liability are recorded to the Company's Condensed Balance Sheets when the Company obtains control of the use of the asset. Right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make payments upon entering into a lease agreement.

16. COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on net earnings divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. The computation of diluted earnings per share reflects the common stock equivalency of dilutive options granted to employees under the Company's stock incentive plan, shares issuable on redemption of its convertible notes and shares issuable upon redemption of outstanding warrants.

Equity awards

For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019, respectively, 374,660 and 379,946 shares issuable under equity awards granted to employees were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive based on the average stock price during the period. For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, respectively, 182,040 and 190,775 shares issuable under equity awards granted to employees were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive based on the average stock price during the period.

2024 Convertible Notes

For the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, shares issuable under the Convertible Notes due 2024 were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because the conversion price was more than the average market price of the Company's stock during the periods.

Warrants

For the six-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018, shares issuable under the warrants issued in connection with the Company's 2017 Notes were included in the calculation for diluted earnings per share as the strike price of the warrants was less than the average price of the Company's stock.

17. SHARE-BASED ARRANGEMENTS

The Company accounts for stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance shares as equity awards and measures the cost of all share-based payments, including stock options, at fair value on the grant date and recognizes this cost in the statement of operations. The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan which is accounted for as a liability award.

Compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards. Share-based compensation expense recorded for continuing operations for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019 was $1.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively. Share-based compensation expense recorded for continuing operations for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, was $2.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively. These amounts were included in selling, general and administrative expense on the Company's Condensed Statement of Operations.

Share-based compensation expense recorded for discontinued operations for the three-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019 was not material. Share-based compensation expense recorded for discontinued operations for the six-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019 was $0.3 million. Share-based compensation expense recorded for discontinued operations for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, was $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. These amounts were included in earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax on the Company's Condensed Statement of Operations.

As a result of the Company entering into a definitive agreement to sell its Distribution segment and the closing of the sale being considered probable, the vesting dates of all outstanding unvested stock options and restricted stock awards for certain Distribution employees were accelerated to vest on the anticipated closing date. Most of these stock options and awards would not have vested prior to the closing date; therefore, the related stock-based compensation expense previously recognized through the modification date was reduced to zero and a new fair value of the options and awards was established on the date the Company entered into the definitive agreement. The expense will be recognized ratably from the date of signing the definitive agreement to the anticipated closing date of the sale. While the acceleration of these awards is subject to Board of Directors approval, the Company estimates $2.8 million in incremental stock-based compensation to be recorded in 2019 in earnings from discontinued operations due to the acceleration of vesting. Of this amount, $0.2 million was recorded in the three-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019.

From time-to-time, the Company has issued stock awards with market and performance based conditions. Throughout the course of the requisite service period, the Company monitors the level of achievement compared to the target and adjusts the number of shares expected to be earned, and the related compensation expense recorded thereafter, to reflect the most probable outcome. The number of shares earned under an award granted in 2016 has been determined at a 130% achievement level, representing 925 shares delivered in 2019. The number of shares earned were pro-rated to reflect the number of days the participant was employed by the Company during the performance period. There are no outstanding awards with these conditions that have not been settled. Compensation expense for these awards for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019, and June 29, 2018, was not material.

18. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

The Company is organized based upon the nature of its products and services, and is composed of two operating segments each overseen by a segment manager. These segments are reflective of how the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), reviews operating results for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. The Company has not aggregated operating segments for purposes of identifying reportable segments.

The Aerospace segment produces and markets proprietary aircraft bearings and components; super precision, miniature ball bearings for the medical, industrial and aerospace markets; complex metallic and composite aerostructures for commercial, military and general aviation fixed and rotary wing aircraft; and safe and arming solutions for missile and bomb systems for the U.S. and allied militaries. The segment also markets the design and supply of aftermarket parts to businesses performing maintenance, repair and overhaul ("MRO") in aerospace markets; performs helicopter subcontract work; restores, modifies and supports the Company's SH-2G Super Seasprite maritime helicopters; and manufactures and supports the Company's K-MAX® manned and unmanned medium-to-heavy lift helicopters.

The Distribution segment is a leading power transmission, automation and fluid power industrial distributor with operations throughout the United States. The segment provides electro-mechanical products, bearings, power transmission, motion control and electrical and fluid power components, along with engineered integrated solutions for its customers' most challenging applications serving a broad spectrum of industrial markets, including both MRO and original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") customers. In the second quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Distribution segment to affiliates of Littlejohn & Co., LLC; therefore, results for the Distribution segment were included in earnings from discontinued operations.

For contracts that recognize revenue over time, the Company performs detailed quarterly reviews of the progress and execution of its performance obligations under these contracts. As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. The risks and opportunities include management's judgment about the ability and cost to achieve the schedule (e.g. the number and type of milestone events), technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product) and other contract requirements. Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the performance obligation (e.g. to estimate increases in wages and prices for materials and related support cost allocations), execution by subcontractors, the availability and timing of funding from customers and overhead cost rates, among other variables. Based upon these reviews, the Company will record the effects of adjustments in profit estimates each period. If at any time management determines that in the case of a particular contract total costs will exceed total contract revenue, a provision for the entire anticipated contract loss is recorded at that time. The amount of revenue recognized in the three-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019 from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods was $0.5 million. This amount was primarily related to favorable cost performance on the JPF contract with the USG, partially offset by cost growth on certain legacy fuzing contracts and the the SH-2G contract with Peru. The Company recognized a reduction in revenue of $0.3 million in the six-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019. This amount was primarily related to cost growth on the SH-2G program with Peru, certain legacy fuzing contracts, and a certain metallics structures contract, partially offset by favorable cost performance on certain Aerospace contracts, more specifically the JPF contract with the USG and the FMU-139 fuzing contract. The amount of revenue recognized in the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018 from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods was $1.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively. These amounts were primarily related to changes in the estimates of the stage of completion of Aerospace contracts, more specifically the JPF contract with the USG, the AH-1Z contract and the SH-2G contract with Peru.

The effective income tax rate represents the combined federal, state and foreign tax effects attributable to pretax earnings from continuing operations for the period. The decrease in the effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019, compared to the corresponding rates in the prior year was primarily due to the partial reversal of valuation allowances which had been recorded against deferred tax assets related to state net operating loss carryforwards. The reversal was caused by a legislative change which made it more likely than not that more of the benefits from the loss carryforwards will be realized.

A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, including those associated with net operating loss carryforwards, is recognized when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. To assess that likelihood, the Company uses estimates and judgment regarding future taxable income, and considers the tax consequences in the jurisdiction where such taxable income is generated, to determine whether a valuation allowance is required. Such evidence can include current financial position, results of operations, both actual and forecasted, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning strategies, as well as the current and forecasted business economics.

20. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

The Company has assessed both positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the $47.3 million of deferred tax assets recorded as of June 28, 2019. Through the end of the second quarter of 2019, the Company believes it is more likely than not that only $39.8 million of these deferred tax assets will be realized and, as such, has recorded a valuation allowance of $7.5 million. Going forward, management will continue to assess the available positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is likely sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit the use of these deferred tax assets. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income are reduced or increased, or if additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as future expected growth because objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present.

21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 15, 2019, the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, entered into a first supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture, dated May 12, 2017 (as amended by the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), governing the Company’s 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024. The Supplemental Indenture expressly provides that the sale of the Company’s Distribution Segment will not violate the terms and provisions of the Indenture. The Supplemental Indenture became effective upon execution thereof, but the amendments embodied therein will not become operative until payment of the applicable consent fee, which is expected to occur on the date on which the sale transaction is consummated.

On July 24, 2019, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 6, 2015, by and among the Company, the subsidiary borrowers from time to time party thereto, the Lenders from time to time party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A. and Citizens Bank, N.A., as Co-Syndication Agents, and SunTrust Bank, KeyBank National Association, TD Bank, N.A., Branch Banking and Trust Company and Fifth Third Bank, as Co-Documentation Agents (as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3 and Amendment No. 4 thereto, the “Credit Agreement”), to permit the sale of the Company’s Distribution Segment under the Credit Agreement and to provide for the release of certain subsidiary guarantees and collateral in connection therewith upon the closing of the sale transaction.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance date of these financial statements. Other than the matters noted above, no material subsequent events were identified that require disclosure.

Item 2.         Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is intended to provide readers of our condensed consolidated financial statements with the perspectives of management. It presents, in narrative and tabular form, information regarding our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results, and is designed to enable the readers of this report to obtain an understanding of our businesses, strategies, current trends and future prospects. It should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 ("2018 Form 10-K") and the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

OVERVIEW OF BUSINESS

Kaman Corporation (the "Company") is comprised of two business segments:

The Aerospace segment produces and markets proprietary aircraft bearings and components; super precision, miniature ball bearings for the medical, industrial and aerospace markets; complex metallic and composite aerostructures for commercial, military and general aviation fixed and rotary wing aircraft; and safe and arming solutions for missile and bomb systems for the U.S. and allied militaries. The segment also markets the design and supply of aftermarket parts to businesses performing "maintenance, repair and overhaul ("MRO") in aerospace markets; performs helicopter subcontract work; restores, modifies and supports our SH-2G Super Seasprite maritime helicopters; and manufactures and supports our K-MAX® manned and unmanned medium-to-heavy lift helicopters.
The Distribution segment is a leading power transmission, automation and fluid power industrial distributor with operations throughout the United States. The segment provides electro-mechanical products, bearings, power transmission, motion control and electrical and fluid power components, along with engineered integrated solutions for our customers' most challenging applications, serving a broad spectrum of industrial markets comprised of both maintenance, repair and overhaul ("MRO") and original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") customers. In the second quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Distribution segment to affiliates of Littlejohn & Co., LLC; therefore, results for the Distribution segment were included in earnings from discontinued operations.

Financial performance

Net sales from continuing operations decreased 2.2% and 4.7%, for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019, respectively, compared to the comparable fiscal periods in the prior year.
Earnings from continuing operations increased 33.7% and 25.3% for the three-month fiscal and six-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019, respectively, when compared to the comparable fiscal periods in the prior year.
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased to $0.23 for the three-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019, an increase of $0.06 when compared to the comparable fiscal period in the prior year. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased to $0.43 for the six-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019, an increase of $0.09 when compared to the comparable fiscal period in the prior year.
Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations during the six-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019, was $10.9 million, $68.9 million less than the comparable fiscal period in the prior year. This change was primarily due to the absence of advance payments received in connection with a Joint Programmable Fuze ("JPF") direct commercial sales ("DCS") contract received in the prior year.
Total backlog decreased 0.9% to $843.8 million compared to total backlog at December 31, 2018, driven by deliveries of direct commercial JPF orders and bearings products and work performed on our JPF program with the U.S. Government ("USG"), mostly offset by new orders on various programs.

Recent events

In July 2019, our Aerospace segment received the export license for the $324.0 million JPF DCS contract.
In July 2019, our Aerospace segment announced that it had opened a new customer service center in Bloomfield, Connecticut to support both the K-MAX® and SH-2 Super Seasprite customers and inaugurated a K-MAX® Flight Training Device.
In July 2019, our Aerospace segment announced that it had entered into an agreement to purchase land to allow for expansion of our German based engineered products business.
In June 2019, the Company announced that we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Distribution segment to affiliates of Littlejohn & Co., LLC for total cash consideration of $700 million subject to customary closing conditions and working capital adjustments.

33


In May 2019, our Vermont division in the Aerospace segment was recognized by Rolls-Royce as the "Best New Supplier 2018" for its support of Rolls-Royce on various compressor components and composite assemblies.
In May 2019, our Aerospace segment announced that it had been awarded a contract to return two United States Marine Corps K-MAX® aircraft to flight operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During the second quarter of 2019, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Distribution segment to affiliates of Littlejohn & Co., LLC for total cash consideration of $700.0 million subject to customary closing conditions and working capital adjustments. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions and the receipt of certain required consents and approvals. As a result of the definitive agreement, the Distribution segment results met the criteria for the presentation of assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations. The results presented below represent the results of continuing operations, which include the Aerospace segment and our Corporate office. See Note 4, Discontinued Operations, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the Company's agreement to sell the Distribution segment.

Net sales decreased for the three-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019, as compared to the corresponding period in 2018, primarily due to decreases of $5.0 million and $2.5 million in our military and defense, excluding fuzes, and fuze product programs, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by $3.6 million in higher sales on our commercial product programs. Foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar had an unfavorable impact of $1.9 million on net sales for the three-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019.

The decrease in sales under our military and defense, excluding fuzes, product programs was primarily attributable to lower sales under our SH-2G program with Peru and the AH-1Z program.

Lower sales under our fuze product programs was due to lower direct commercial sales of our JPF to foreign militaries and a decrease in sales on our legacy fuzing programs. These decreases, totaling $6.3 million, were partially offset by higher sales under our JPF program with the USG.

The increase in sales on our commercial product programs was driven by higher sales on our Sikorsky S70 program, 7P Door Surround program and the Boeing 767/777 program. These increases, totaling $6.0 million, were partially offset by lower sales volume on our commercial bearings products.

Net sales decreased for the six-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019, as compared to the corresponding period in 2018, primarily due to decreases of $17.1 million and $1.9 million in our military and defense, excluding fuzes, and commercial product programs, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in sales of $2.1 million on our fuze product programs. Foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar had an unfavorable impact of $4.4 million on net sales for the six-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019.

The decrease in sales under our military and defense, excluding fuzes, product programs was primarily attributable to lower sales under our SH-2G program with Peru, the AH-1Z program, the Sikorsky BLACK HAWK helicopter program and the Combat Rescue helicopter program, and the absence of sales from our former U.K. Tooling business. These decreases, totaling $19.3 million, were partially offset by higher sales on the Bell Helicopter composite blade program.

The decrease in sales on our commercial product programs was driven by lower sales volume of our commercial bearings products, a decrease in sales under the K-MAX® program and the absence of sales from our former engineering services

business. These decreases, totaling $12.0 million, were partially offset by higher sales on our Sikorsky S70 program, 7P Door Surround program and a certain composite structures program.

The increase in sales of our fuze product programs was primarily attributable to higher direct commercial sales of our JPF to foreign militaries and an increase in sales under our JPF program with USG. These increases, totaling $4.7 million, were partially offset by lower sales on our legacy fuzing programs.

Gross profit decreased slightly for the three-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019, as compared to the corresponding period in 2018. This was primarily attributable to lower direct commercial sales of our JPF to foreign militaries and lower sales and associated gross profit on our SH-2G program with Peru and bearings products. These decreases, totaling $5.1 million, were partially offset by higher sales and associated gross profit under our JPF program with the USG and higher gross profit on the Bell Helicopter composite blade program.

Gross profit remained relatively flat for the six-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019, as compared to the corresponding period in 2018. This was a result of higher direct commercial sales of our JPF to foreign militaries, an increase in sales and associated gross profit under our JPF program with the USG and higher gross profit on the Bell Helicopter composite blade program. These increases, totaling $7.0 million, were mostly offset by lower sales and associated gross profit on our SH-2G program with Peru and the K-MAX® program.

The decreases in S,G&A for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019, compared to the corresponding periods in 2018, were due to a decrease in expenses at our Aerospace segment and lower corporate expenses. The decrease in expenses at the Aerospace segment was primarily attributable to a decrease in salary and wage expense and lower depreciation expense as a result of our restructuring efforts in the prior year. Corporate expenses decreased primarily due to lower employee and employee-related costs, a decrease in consulting fees and the absence of fees associated with a legacy legal matter incurred in the prior year. Additionally contributing to the lower corporate expenses for the three-month fiscal period was lower long-term incentive compensation costs.

During the third quarter of 2017, we announced restructuring activities at our Aerospace segment to support the ongoing effort of improving capacity utilization and operating efficiency to better position the Company for increased profitability and growth. Such actions include workforce reductions and the consolidation of operations, which we expect to continue through the planned completion in 2019. In the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019, we recorded $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in costs associated with these restructuring activities. In the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, we recorded $1.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively, in costs associated with these restructuring activities. In addition to these costs, the Aerospace segment incurred $0.3 million and $1.2 million in other non-related restructuring costs associated with the termination of certain distributor agreements and separations costs associated with certain employees not included in the restructuring activities discussed above in the three-month and six-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018, respectively.

Operating income increased for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019, versus the comparable periods in 2018. The increases in operating income were primarily due to lower corporate expenses and increases in operating income at our Aerospace segment of 8.2% and 12.8% for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods, respectively, driven by lower restructuring costs and lower S,G&A, as discussed above. These changes were partially offset by lower net gains on the sale of assets in the current period.

Interest expense, net, generally consists of interest charged on our Credit Agreement, which includes a revolving credit facility and a term loan facility, and our convertible notes and the amortization of debt issuance costs, offset by interest income.

Interest expense, net for the three-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019 increased when compared to the corresponding period in 2018. This was primarily attributable to a higher interest rate for outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement and an increase in interest expense on our non-qualified deferred compensation plan, partially offset by lower average borrowings. At June 28, 2019, the interest rate for outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement was 3.65%, compared to 2.86% at June 29, 2018.
 
Interest expense, net for the six-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019 increased when compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to higher letter of credit fees, partially offset by lower average borrowings.

The decrease in the effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019, compared to the corresponding rates in the prior year was primarily due to the partial reversal of valuation allowances which had been recorded against deferred tax assets related to state net operating loss carryforwards.

Backlog decreased during the first six months of 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to revenue recognized for deliveries of direct commercial JPF orders and bearings products and work performed on our JPF program with the USG. These decreases were partially offset by orders of our JPF and bearings products, and orders under our Sikorsky S70 program.

Long-Term Contracts

For long-term aerospace contracts, we generally recognize sales and cost of sales over time because of continuous transfer of control to the customer, which allows for recognition of revenue as work on a contract progresses. For those programs for which there is a continuous transfer of control to the customer, we recognize sales and profit on a cost-to-cost basis, in which case sales and profit are recorded based upon the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs to complete the contract. Conversely, revenue on certain programs, such as the K-MAX® program and on direct commercial sales under our JPF program, is recognized at a point in time, with revenue being recognized upon transfer to the end customer.

Revenue and cost estimates for all significant long-term contracts for which revenue is recognized over time are reviewed and reassessed quarterly. Based upon these reviews, we record the effects of adjustments in profit estimates each period. If at any time we determine that for a particular contract total costs will exceed total contract revenue, we will record a provision for the entire anticipated contract loss at that time. The amount of revenue recognized in the three-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2018 from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods was $0.5 million. This amount was primarily related to favorable cost performance on the JPF contract with the USG, partially offset by cost growth on certain legacy fuzing contracts and the SH-2G contract with Peru. We recognized a reduction in revenue of $0.3 million in the six-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019. This amount was primarily related to cost growth on the SH-2G program with Peru, certain legacy fuzing contracts, and a certain metallics structures contract, partially offset by favorable cost performance on certain Aerospace contracts, more specifically the JPF contract with the USG and the FMU-139 fuzing contract. The amount of revenue recognized in the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018, was $1.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively. These amounts were primarily related to changes in the estimates of the stage of completion of Aerospace contracts, more specifically the JPF contract with the USG, the AH-1Z contract and the SH-2G contract with Peru.

Major Programs/Product Lines

Below is a discussion of significant changes in the Aerospace segment's major programs during the first six months of 2019. See our 2018 Form 10-K for a complete discussion of our Aerospace segment's programs.

FMU-152 A/B – Joint Programmable Fuze (“JPF”)

We manufacture the JPF, an electro-mechanical bomb safe and arming device, which allows the settings of a weapon to be programmed in flight. The Company currently provides the FMU-152 A/B to the United States Air Force (“USAF”) and thirty-six other nations. Sales of these fuzes can be direct to the USAF, Foreign Military Sales ("FMS") through the USG and Direct Commercial Sales ("DCS") to foreign militaries that, although not funded by the USG, require regulatory approvals from the USG.

We occasionally experience lot acceptance test failures due to the complexity of the product and the extreme parameters of the acceptance test. Given the maturity of the product, we now generally experience isolated failures, rather than systemic ones. As a result, identifying a root cause can take longer and result in inconsistent delivery quantities from quarter to quarter.


37


A total of 5,713 fuzes were delivered to our customers during the second quarter of 2019. A total of 14,564 fuzes have been delivered during the first half of 2019. We expect to deliver 40,000 to 45,000 fuzes in 2019.

Total JPF backlog at June 28, 2019 was $426.7 million. Of this amount, $309.5 million in JPF backlog require future export approvals, licenses or authorizations from the USG before we are permitted to sell these products outside of the United States. Subsequent to the second quarter, we received the export license for the $324.0 million JPF DCS contract discussed below, of which $307.5 million was included in backlog at June 28, 2019. The receipt of these export approvals, licenses or authorizations are subject to political and geopolitical conditions which could impact the timing and/or our ability to sell these products outside of the United States. Total JPF backlog at December 31, 2018 was $454.1 million.

JPF - USG

Revenue for JPF USG programs is recognized over time when costs are incurred as work progresses on the program. The Company currently provides the FMU-152 A/B to the USAF, but the U.S. Navy currently utilizes a different fuze - the FMU-139. In 2015, NAVAIR solicited proposals for a firm fixed price production contract to implement improvements to the performance characteristics of the FMU-139 (such improved fuze having been designated the FMU-139 D/B), and, the USAF had stated that, if and when a contract is awarded and production begins, the funds associated with the FMU-152 A/B will be redirected to the FMU-139 D/B. During the third quarter of 2015, the U.S. Navy announced that a competitor was awarded the contract for the FMU-139 D/B. In the event the FMU-139 D/B program proceeds as planned and the USAF redirects the funds associated with the FMU-152 A/B to the FMU-139 D/B, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be materially adversely impacted. The timing of the impact on our financial statements is dependent on the ability of our competitor to complete the design and qualification phase of the program and other factors. Our competitor has publicly stated that this program is expected to have a 32-month qualification phase, preceding production. Due to the complexity of this program, the uncertainty associated with the successful completion of each phase in accordance with the planned schedule and the pending status of the USAF's final decision to redirect funds to the FMU-139 D/B, the timing and magnitude of the impact on the Company's financial statements is not certain; however, the Company continues to see strong demand for the FMU-152 A/B. In 2018, the USAF issued a Notice of Contract Action announcing its intent to award us Options 15 and 16, which, if and when awarded, would extend FMU-152 A/B deliveries into 2022.
JPF - DCS

Revenue for DCS programs is generally recognized at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer under the revenue recognition guidance. The Company continues to see strong demand for DCS fuzes. During the first quarter of 2018, we were awarded a DCS contract totaling approximately $324.0 million, of which $307.5 million was included in backlog as of June 28, 2019. The remaining $16.5 million relates to potential penalties payable to the customer in the event the offset requirements of the contract are not met. This agreement is designed to return economic value to the foreign country by requiring us to engage in activities supporting local defense or commercial industries, promoting a balance of trade, developing in-country technology capabilities or addressing other local development priorities. The offset agreement may be satisfied through activities that do not require a direct cash payment, including transferring technology, providing manufacturing, training and other consulting support to in-country projects and the purchase by third parties of supplies from in-country vendors. This agreement may also be satisfied through the Company's use of cash for activities, such as subcontracting with local partners, purchasing supplies from in-country vendors, providing financial support for in-country projects and making investments in local ventures. The offset requirements associated with this contract could extend for several years and have a notional value of approximately $194.0 million, which is equal to sixty percent of the total contract value as defined by the agreement with the customer. The amount ultimately applied against the offset agreement is based on negotiations with the customer and may require cash outlays that represent only a fraction of the notional value in the offset agreement. We continue to work with the customer to further define the requirements to satisfy the offset agreement. The satisfaction of the offset requirements will be determined by the customer and is expected to occur over a seven-year period. Additionally, this contract provides for potential penalties payable to the customer of up to 10% of the total contract value in the event that we default on the contract and we are unable to fulfill our contractual commitments. Any delay in the receipt of necessary export approvals, licenses or authorizations from the USG could result in customer cancellation of the contract, the incurrence of significant penalties by the Company and the return of advance payments to our customer, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
K-MAX®

During 2015, we announced that our Aerospace segment was resuming production of commercial K-MAX® aircraft. The aircraft are being manufactured at our Jacksonville, Florida and Bloomfield, Connecticut facilities. The first ten helicopters from the newly reopened commercial production line were accepted by our customers through June 2019. During the fourth

38


quarter of 2018, we announced that we will continue production of the commercial K-MAX® aircraft into 2020 at a minimum due to continued interest in the capabilities of the K-MAX®. As of June 28, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our backlog for this program was $7.3 million and $14.9 million, respectively.

During the first quarter, we announced that we are developing the next generation K-MAX® unmanned aircraft system that will allow operators to have the capability to fly either manned or unmanned missions. We expect to offer unmanned system kits for new production and existing aircraft in 2020.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Discussion and Analysis of Cash Flows

We assess liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund working capital requirements and investing and financing activities. Significant factors affecting liquidity include: cash flows generated from or used by operating activities, capital expenditures, investments in our business segments and their programs, acquisitions, divestitures, dividends, availability of future credit, adequacy of available bank lines of credit, and factors that might otherwise affect the company's business and operations generally, as described under the heading “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” in Item 1A of Part I of our 2018 Form 10-K.

We continue to rely upon bank financing as an important source of liquidity for our business activities including acquisitions. We believe this, when combined with cash generated from operating activities, will be sufficient to support our anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future; however, we may decide to borrow additional funds or raise additional equity capital to support other business activities including potential future acquisitions. We anticipate refinancing our Credit Agreement prior to maturity on May 6, 2020.

We anticipate a variety of items will have an impact on our liquidity during the next 12 months, in addition to our working capital requirements. These could include one or more of the following:

the matters described in Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in addition to the cost of existing environmental remediation matters;
deferred compensation payments to former directors and officers;
contributions to our qualified pension plan and Supplemental Employees’ Retirement Plan (“SERP”);
interest payments on outstanding debt;
income tax payments;
finance and operating lease payments;
capital expenditures;
repurchases of common stock under the 2015 Share Repurchase Program;
payment of dividends;
costs associated with the start-up of new aerospace programs; and
the extension of payment terms by our customers.

In addition to the items listed above, we have received $97.2 million in advance payments in 2018, which relate to $129.6 million in letters of a credit for a JPF DCS contract. In the event that we default on the contract and we are unable to fulfill our contractual obligations, our customer has the ability to draw on the letters of credit.

Additionally, we expect to receive approximately $600.0 million in proceeds, net of taxes and transaction costs, upon closing the sale of the Distribution segment, subject to any working capital adjustments. We anticipate allocating approximately $100.0 million of the proceeds to pay down debt and use the remaining portion for acquisition priorities and organic growth initiatives.

We regularly monitor credit market conditions to identify potential issues that may adversely affect, or provide opportunities for, the securing and/or advantageous pricing of additional financing, if any, that may be necessary to continue with our growth strategy and finance working capital requirements.

Management regularly monitors pension plan asset performance and the assumptions used in the determination of our benefit obligation, comparing them to actual performance. We continue to believe the assumptions selected are valid due to the long-term nature of our benefit obligation.

Effective December 31, 2015, our qualified pension plan was frozen with respect to future benefit accruals. Under U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standard (“CAS”) 413, we must calculate the USG’s share of any pension curtailment

39


adjustment calculated resulting from the freeze. Such adjustments can result in an amount due to the USG for pension plans that are in a surplus position or an amount due to the contractor for plans that are in a deficit position. During the fourth quarter of 2016, we accrued a $0.3 million liability representing our estimate of the amount due to the USG based on our pension curtailment calculation which was submitted to the USG for review in December 2016. We have maintained our accrual at $0.3 million as of June 28, 2019. There can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

A summary of our consolidated cash flows from continuing operations is as follows:

(a) Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less expenditures for property, plant and equipment, both of which are presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Non-GAAP Financial Measures for more information regarding Free Cash Flow.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased for the six-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019, versus the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to the absence of advance payments received under a JPF DCS contract in the prior period and work performed on the JPF DCS program, K-MAX® program and our bearings products, partially offset by the absence of $30.0 million in contributions made to the pension plan in the prior period.

Net cash used in investing activities increased for the six-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019, versus the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to lower net proceeds received from the sale of assets.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.7 million for the six-month fiscal period ended June 28, 2019, compared to net cash used in financing activities for the comparable period in 2018 of $89.4 million. This change was primarily attributable to lower net repayments of our revolving credit facility in the current period.

Financing Arrangements

Refer to Note 12, Debt, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for further information on our Financing Arrangements.
 
Convertible Notes

During May 2017, we issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior unsecured notes due May 2024 (the "2024 Notes") pursuant to an indenture, dated May 12, 2017, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated July 15, 2019, the "Indenture"). In connection therewith, we entered into certain capped call transactions that cover, collectively, the number of shares of the Company's common stock underlying the 2024 Notes. The 2024 Notes bear 3.25% interest per annum on the principal amount, payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2017. The 2024 Notes will mature on May 1, 2024, unless earlier repurchased by the Company or converted. We will settle any conversions of the 2024 Notes in cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election.

40


We incurred $7.4 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the sale of the 2024 Notes, which was allocated between the debt and equity components of the instrument. Of the total amount, $0.7 million was recorded as an offset to additional paid-in capital. The balance, $6.7 million, was recorded as a contra-debt balance and is being amortized over the term of the 2024 Notes. Total amortization expense for the three-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018 was $0.2 million in both periods. Total amortization expense for the six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018 and June 29, 2018 was $0.4 million in both periods.

Credit Agreement

We have a $700.0 million Credit Agreement, as amended, with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A. and Citizens Bank N.A. as Co-Syndication Agents and SunTrust Bank, KeyBank N.A., TD Bank, N.A., BB&T and Fifth Third Bank, as Co-Documentation Agents. The Credit Agreement matures on May 6, 2020 and has revolving commitments of $600.0 million and a Term Loan commitment of $100.0 million. Capitalized terms used but not defined within this discussion of the Credit Agreement have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement.

The term loan commitment requires quarterly payments of principal (which commenced on June 30, 2015) at the rate of $1.25 million, increasing to $1.875 million on June 30, 2017, and then to $2.5 million on June 30, 2019, with $65.0 million payable in the final quarter of the facility's term. The facility includes an accordion feature that allows us to increase the aggregate amount available to up to $900.0 million with additional commitments from the Lenders.
 
Interest rates on amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement are variable, and are determined based on the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio. At June 28, 2019, the interest rate for the outstanding amounts on both the revolving credit facility and term loan commitment was 3.65%. In addition, we are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the unused revolving loan commitment amount at a rate ranging from 0.175% to 0.300% per annum, based on the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio. Fees for outstanding letters of credit range from 1.25% to 2.00%, based on the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio.

In 2015, the Company incurred $2.3 million in debt issuance costs in connection with the Credit Agreement. These costs have been capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the agreement. Total amortization expense for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 28, 2019 was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Total amortization expense for the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended June 29, 2018 was $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Total average bank borrowings during the quarter ended June 28, 2019, were $106.2 million compared to $151.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. As of June 28, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there was $392.2 million and $408.9 million available for borrowing, respectively, under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of letters of credit. However, based on EBITDA levels at June 28, 2019 and December 31, 2018, amounts available for borrowing were limited to $291.5 million and $323.5 million, respectively. Letters of credit are generally considered borrowings for purposes of the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 28, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $152.6 million letters of credit were outstanding in both periods, all of which were under the credit facility. Of this amount, $146.2 million letters of credit relate to a JPF DCS contract.

Other Sources/Uses of Capital

In 2019, we contributed $0.3 million to the SERP through the end of the second quarter. We plan to contribute an additional $0.2 million to the SERP in 2019. The Company does not anticipate making any contributions to the qualified pension plan in 2019. For the 2018 plan year, we contributed $30.0 million to the qualified pension plan and $0.9 million to the SERP.

On April 29, 2015, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program ("2015 Share Repurchase Program") authorizing the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of the common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company. This new program replaced our 2000 Stock Repurchase Program. We currently intend to repurchase shares to offset the annual issuance of shares under our employee stock plans, but the timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including stock price, market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability and other factors, including acquisition opportunities. As of June 28, 2019, we had repurchased 1,132,853 shares under the 2015 Share Repurchase Program and approximately $43.7 million remained available for repurchases under this authorization.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Management believes the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures used in this report provide investors with important perspectives into our ongoing business performance. We do not intend for the information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Other companies may define the measures differently. We define the non-GAAP measures used in this report and other disclosures as follows:

Organic Sales

Organic Sales is defined as "Net Sales" less sales derived from acquisitions completed during the previous twelve months. We believe that this measure provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of acquisitions, which can obscure underlying trends. We also believe that presenting Organic Sales separately for our segments provides management and investors with useful information about the trends impacting our segments and enables a more direct comparison to other businesses and companies in similar industries. Management recognizes that the term "Organic Sales" may be interpreted differently by other companies and under different circumstances.

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow is defined as GAAP “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” in a period less “Expenditures for property, plant & equipment” in the same period. Management believes Free Cash Flow provides an important perspective on our ability to generate cash from our business operations and, as such, that it is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Company's financial performance. Free Cash Flow should not be viewed as representing the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures such as dividends to shareholders or acquisitions, as it may exclude certain mandatory expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt and other contractual obligations. Management uses Free Cash Flow internally to assess overall liquidity.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in our contractual obligations or off-balance sheet arrangements during the first six months of 2019. See our 2018 Form 10-K for a discussion of our contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K describe the critical accounting estimates and significant accounting policies used in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. See Note 2, Recent Accounting Standards, and Note 3, Significant Accounting Policies Update, for a discussion on the impact of adopting ASC 842, Leases, that became effective January 1, 2019.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Information regarding recent changes in accounting standards is included in Note 2, Recent Accounting Standards, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s exposure to market risk during the first six months of 2019. See the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K for a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 28, 2019. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 28, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls

There was no change to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

43


PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

General

From time to time, as a normal incident of the nature and kinds of businesses in which the Company and its subsidiaries are, and were, engaged, various claims or charges are asserted and legal proceedings are commenced by or against the Company and/or one or more of its subsidiaries. Claimed amounts may be substantial but may not bear any reasonable relationship to the merits of the claim or the extent of any real risk of court or arbitral awards. We record accruals for losses related to those matters that we consider to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies, if any, are recognized when they are realized and legal costs generally are expensed when incurred.

We evaluate, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings that could affect the amount of any accrual and developments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. Our loss contingencies are subject to substantial uncertainties, however, including for each such contingency the following, among other factors: (i) the procedural status of the case; (ii) whether the case has or may be certified as a class action suit; (iii) the outcome of preliminary motions; (iv) the impact of discovery; (v) whether there are significant factual issues to be determined or resolved; (vi) whether the proceedings involve a large number of parties and/or claims in multiple jurisdictions or jurisdictions in which the relevant laws are complex or unclear; (vii) the extent of potential damages, which are often unspecified or indeterminate; and (viii) the status of settlement discussions, if any, and the settlement postures of the parties. Because of these uncertainties, management has determined that, except as otherwise noted below, the amount of loss or range of loss that is reasonably possible in respect of each matter described below (including any reasonably possible losses in excess of amounts already accrued), is not reasonably estimable.

While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, based upon available information, management believes that all settlements, arbitration awards and final judgments, if any, which are considered probable of being rendered against us in legal proceedings and that can be reasonably estimated are accrued for at June 28, 2019. Despite this analysis, there can be no assurance that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

As of June 28, 2019, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party, nor is any of its or their property subject, to any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries. Additional information relating to certain of these matters is set forth in Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Environmental Matters

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to numerous U.S. Federal, state and international environmental laws and regulatory requirements and are involved from time to time in investigations or litigation of various potential environmental issues concerning activities at our facilities or former facilities or remediation as a result of past activities (including past activities of companies we have acquired). From time to time, we receive notices from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or equivalent state or international environmental agencies that we are a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (commonly known as the “Superfund Act”) and/or equivalent laws. Such notices assert potential liability for cleanup costs at various sites, which may include sites owned by us, sites we previously owned and treatment or disposal sites not owned by us, allegedly containing hazardous substances attributable to us from past operations. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these proceedings, in the opinion of management, any payments we may be required to make as a result of all such claims in existence at June 28, 2019, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations or cash flows.

Asbestos Litigation

Like many other industrial companies, the Company and/or one of its subsidiaries may be named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos within a facility of the Company or integrated into certain products sold or distributed by the Company and/or the named subsidiary. A substantial majority of these asbestos-related claims have been covered by insurance or other forms of indemnity or have been dismissed without payment. The rest have been resolved for amounts that are not material to the Company, either individually or in the aggregate. Based on information currently available, we do not believe that the resolution of any currently pending asbestos-related matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.


44


Item 1A. Risk Factors

Investors should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors that could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows as set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2018 Form 10-K. Except as set forth below, we do not believe there have been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2018 Form 10-K, but we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in future filings with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe not to be material may also adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

The pending sale of our Distribution segment, whether or not consummated, may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

The pending sale of the businesses comprising our Distribution segment (the “Sale Transaction”) may disrupt our business by, among other things, diverting the time and attention of senior management and other Company personnel away from our day-to-day business operations while the Sale Transaction is pending. We have incurred, and continue to incur, significant transaction costs in connection with the pending Sale Transaction. Many of these costs are, or will be, payable even if the Sale Transaction is not completed and may relate to activities that we would not have undertaken other than to complete the Sale Transaction. Uncertainties related to the pending Sale Transaction may adversely affect our relationships with current and prospective customers, suppliers, lenders and other business partners, and may impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel. The loss or deterioration of significant business and operational relationships could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Moreover, the Share Purchase Agreement for the Sale Transaction (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) imposes restrictions on the conduct of our business prior to the closing of the Sale Transaction, which may adversely affect our ability to manage our operations effectively in light of changes in economic or market conditions, or to take advantage of certain business opportunities.

If the Sale Transaction is completed, our performance of required transition services may disrupt our continuing businesses, divert our resources and distract our management.

At the closing of the Sale Transaction, the Company will enter into a transition services agreement with the purchasers, pursuant to which the Company will provide various transition services to the purchasers for specified periods beginning as of the closing date. In order to perform our obligations under the transition services agreement, we will allocate certain of our resources, including Company assets, facilities, equipment and the time and attention of our senior management team, to ensure a smooth transition of the businesses to be sold, which may negatively impact our own business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Difficulties in separating the operations, technologies and IT infrastructure of the Distribution segment from those of our aerospace and engineered products businesses may require substantially more time and funds than we anticipated in negotiating the terms of the transition services agreement. In any event, although the transition services agreement generally entitles the Company to compensation for services to be rendered under the agreement, the compensation specified in the transition services agreement may not be sufficient to cover the costs incurred in providing the services, which could result in unrecoverable costs that could be material. If we are unable to effectively manage these risks, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows may be adversely affected.

Our business following the Sale Transaction will be materially different.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Distribution segment generated approximately 60.8% of the Company’s total net sales and represented approximately 38.6% of the Company’s total assets. After the consummation of the Sale Transaction our continuing businesses will be less diversified and our exposure to the risks inherent in those businesses will increase. Our shareholders will have no ongoing interest in the businesses comprising the Distribution segment and will cease to participate in the future earnings and cash flows of those businesses. Instead, the Company will seek to grow our aerospace and engineered products businesses through internal investments and strategic acquisitions. We may be unable to retain the existing employees of our aerospace and engineered products businesses or to attract additional qualified employees to meet current and future needs. Our results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected if we fail to implement our strategic growth initiatives as planned, and the ultimate value of the Sale Transaction may be unfavorably affected to the extent we are unable to realize the expected accounting and tax benefits of the Sale Transaction.

If we fail to complete the Sale Transaction, our business and financial performance may be adversely affected.

The completion of the Sale Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of several conditions precedent and the receipt of necessary financing by the purchasers, which may not be satisfied in a timely manner or at all. Our directors, executive officers and other employees will have expended extensive time and effort and will have experienced significant distractions from their

45


work during the pendency of the Sale Transaction and we will have incurred significant third party transaction costs, for which, in each case, we will have received little or no benefit if the Sale Transaction is not completed.

A failed transaction may result in adverse publicity and may cause a negative impression about us among customers or in the investment community. If the Sale Transaction is not completed, customers of our Distribution segment, as well as investors in our common stock, may have a negative perception of our ability to operate the Distribution segment business in the same manner as before the announcement of the proposed Sale Transaction. Moreover, if the Sale Transaction is not completed, the price of our common stock may drop to the extent that the current price of our common stock reflects an assumption that the Sale Transaction will be completed.

If the Sale Transaction is not completed for any reason, the Company’s Board of Directors, in discharging its fiduciary obligations to our shareholders, may evaluate other strategic alternatives including, but not limited to, continuing to own the Distribution segment for the foreseeable future or an alternative sale transaction relating to some of all of the businesses comprising the Distribution segment. An alternative sale transaction or series of transactions, may not be available, or if available, may yield lower total consideration than the proposed Sale Transaction, may otherwise be on less favorable terms and conditions than those contained in the Share Purchase Agreement, and would involve significant delay.

We have broad discretion in how we use the net proceeds from this offering, and we may not use those proceeds effectively.

The net proceeds from the Sale Transaction will be received by the Company, not the Company’s shareholders. The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds to pay off outstanding indebtedness. We cannot, however, specify with any certainty the particular uses of the remaining net proceeds, and our Board of Directors and management will have broad discretion in applying those net proceeds. Those remaining proceeds may be used for, among other things, effectuating unspecified acquisitions, investing in the Company’s remaining businesses, returning capital to our shareholders and funding general corporate purposes. We may spend or invest these proceeds in a way with which our shareholders disagree. The failure to utilize the net proceeds of the Sale Transaction effectively could affect our ability to grow our remaining businesses, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows and cause the value of our common stock to decline. Pending their use, the net proceeds from the Sale Transaction may be invested in a way that does not produce income or that loses value.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements also may be included in other publicly available documents issued by the Company and in oral statements made by our officers and representatives from time to time. These forward-looking statements are intended to provide management's current expectations or plans for our future operating and financial performance, based on assumptions currently believed to be valid. They can be identified by the use of words such as "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "goal," "seek," "believe," "project," "estimate," "expect," "strategy," "future," "likely," "may," "should," "would," "could," "will" and other words of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future operating or financial performance. Examples of forward looking statements include, among others, statements relating to future sales, earnings, cash flows, results of operations, uses of cash and other measures of financial performance.
