Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

Nine Months Ended June 27, 2020

(Unaudited)

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of results for the interim period have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 27, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2019. All references to years in these financial statements are to fiscal years.

COVID-19 Impacts On Our Business

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. In response, we established two clear priorities; first, the health and safety of our employees and their families and, second, continuing to meet the needs of our customers and secure the financial well-being of the Company by implementing short-term actions to maintain liquidity. While substantially all of our operations and production activities have, to-date, remained operational as many are considered essential and exempt from closure directives. The pandemic did have a material impact on our financial statements for the three and nine months ended June 27, 2020. We recorded impairment charges on long-lived assets and recorded inventory reserves for businesses impacted by lower sales. We continue to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on the fair value of assets. While we do not currently anticipate any additional material impairments on assets as a result of COVID-19, future changes in sales, earnings and cash flows related to long-lived assets to be held and used and goodwill could cause these assets to become impaired. COVID-19 is discussed in more detail throughout “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including acquired intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. We use undiscounted cash flows to determine whether impairment exists and measure any impairment loss using discounted cash flows, or with another comparable method.

In 2020, we recorded impairment charges on long-lived assets primarily in our Aircraft Controls segment. These charges relate to property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets that experienced a significant decline in value due to economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. These charges are included in long-lived asset impairment in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings (Loss).

See Note 6 - Property, Plant and Equipment, Note 7 - Leases, Note 8 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets and Note 12 - Fair Value for additional disclosures relating to impairment charges recorded.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year's presentation. Management does not consider the amounts reclassified to be material.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted



Standard	Description	Financial Statement Effect or Other Significant Matters
ASU no. 2016-02 Leases (and all related ASUs)	The standard requires most lease arrangements to be recognized in the balance sheet as lease assets and lease liabilities. The standard also requires additional disclosures about the leasing arrangements. The provisions of the standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted.	We adopted this standard using the modified retrospective method, without adjusting prior comparative periods. We recorded a initial right-of-use (ROU) assets of $70,806 and lease liabilities of $74,456, which included reclassifying deferred rent as a component of the ROU asset on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. There were no material changes to our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings (Loss) or Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows. We have completed the necessary changes to our financial statements and related disclosures, internal controls, financial policies and information systems. See Note 7 - Leases, for additional disclosure.
ASU no. 2016-02 Leases (and all related ASUs)		Date adopted: Q1 2020

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted



Standard	Description	Financial Statement Effect or Other Significant Matters
ASU no. 2018-15 Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract	The standard amends ASC 350 to include in its scope implementation costs of a Cloud Computing Arrangement (CCA) that is a service contract and clarifies that a customer should apply ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs should be capitalized in a CCA that is considered a service contract. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption.	We are currently evaluating the effect on our financial statements and related disclosures.
		Planned date of adoption: Q1 2021
ASU no. 2016-13 Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments	The standard replaces the incurred loss model with the current expected credit loss (CECL) model to estimate credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. The CECL model requires a Company to estimate credit losses expected over the life of the financial assets based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The provisions of the standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendment requires a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption.	We are currently evaluating the effect on our financial statements and related disclosures.
		Planned date of adoption: Q1 2021

We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed above were assessed and determined to be either not applicable, or had or are expected to have an immaterial impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, we changed our method of accounting for the determination of the market-related value of assets for a class of assets within the qualified U.S. defined benefit plan (the plan). This class of assets is currently comprised solely of the fixed income funds asset class held in the portfolio for the plan and provides a natural hedge (liability-hedging assets) against the changes in the recorded amount of net periodic pension cost. Refer to Note 13 - Employee Benefit Plans, in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2019, for our fair value disclosure by asset classification. Our previous method of accounting was to calculate the market-related value of assets for all the plan’s assets recognizing investment gains and losses ratably over a five-year period. We have elected to use the fair value of our liability-hedging assets, which represent approximately 80% of the plan’s assets, to determine the market-related value of the assets beginning in the first quarter of 2020. This change in accounting principle is preferable as the recognition of the gains and losses on this class of assets will affect net periodic pension cost in the period in which they occur. No change is being made to the accounting principle for the other classes of pension assets, which represent the remaining 20% of the pension asset portfolio for the plan. The gains and losses for these other plan assets will continue to be amortized into earnings over a five-year period.

The change in accounting principle requires retrospective application and prospective disclosure. The tables below represent the impact of this change on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings (Loss) and the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and nine months ended June 27, 2020, the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets for the period ended June 27, 2020, the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings (Loss) and the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2019 and the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets for the periods ended June 29, 2019, September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018, respectively. The change in accounting principle had no impact on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for these periods.

Note 2 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers

We recognize revenue from contracts with customers using the five-step model prescribed in ASC 606. The first step is identifying the contract. The identification of a contract with a customer requires an assessment of each party’s rights and obligations regarding the products or services to be transferred, including an evaluation of termination clauses and presently enforceable rights and obligations. Each party’s rights and obligations and the associated terms and conditions are typically determined in purchase orders. For sales that are governed by master supply agreements under which provisions define specific program requirements, purchase orders are issued under these agreements to reflect presently enforceable rights and obligations for the units of products and services being purchased.

Contracts are sometimes modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. When this occurs, we assess the modification as prescribed in ASC 606 and determine whether the existing contract needs to be modified (and revenue cumulatively caught up), whether the existing contract needs to be terminated and a new contract needs to be created, or whether the existing contract remains and a new contract needs to be created. This is determined based on the rights and obligations within the modification as well as the associated transaction price.

The next step is identifying the performance obligations. A performance obligation is a promise to transfer goods or services to a customer that is distinct in the context of the contract, as defined by ASC 606. We identify a performance obligation for each promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. As part of our assessment, we consider all goods and/or services promised in the contract, regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. The products and services in our contracts are typically not distinct from one another due to their complexity and reliance on each other or, in many cases, we provide a significant integration service. Accordingly, many of our contracts are accounted for as one performance obligation. In limited cases, our contracts have more than one distinct performance obligation, which occurs when we perform activities that are not highly complex or interrelated or involve different product life cycles. Warranties are provided on certain contracts, but do not typically provide for services beyond standard assurances and are therefore not distinct performance obligations under ASC 606.

The third step is determining the transaction price, which represents the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to receive from a customer in exchange for providing the goods or services. There are times when this consideration is variable, for example a volume discount, and must be estimated. Sales, use, value-added, and excise taxes are excluded from the transaction price, where applicable.

The fourth step is allocating the transaction price. The transaction price must be allocated to the performance obligations identified in the contract based on relative stand-alone selling prices when available, or an estimate for each distinct good or service in the contract when standalone prices are not available. Our contracts with customers generally require payment under normal commercial terms after delivery. Payment terms are typically within 30 to 60 days of delivery. The timing of satisfaction of our performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment.

Table of Contents

The final step is the recognition of revenue. We recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied. ASC 606 provides guidance to help determine if we are satisfying the performance obligation at a point in time or over time. In determining when performance obligations are satisfied, we consider factors such as contract terms, payment terms and whether there is an alternative use of the product or service. In essence, we recognize revenue when or as control of the promised goods or services transfer to the customer.

Under ASC 606, revenue recognized over time using an input method that uses costs incurred to date to measure progress toward completion ("cost-to-cost") for the three and nine months ended June 27, 2020 was 66% and 65%, respectively. The over time method of revenue recognition is predominantly used in Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls. We use this method for U.S. Government contracts and repair and overhaul arrangements as we are creating or enhancing assets that the customer controls as the assets are being created or enhanced. In addition, many of our large commercial contracts qualify for over-time accounting as our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Our over-time contracts are primarily firm fixed price.

Revenue is recognized on contracts using the cost-to-cost method of accounting as work progresses toward completion as determined by the ratio of cumulative costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs at completion, multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative revenue recognized in prior periods. We believe that cumulative costs incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total contract costs at completion is an appropriate measure of progress toward satisfaction of performance obligations as this measure most accurately depicts the progress of our work and transfer of control to our customers. Changes in estimates affecting sales, costs and profits are recognized in the period in which the change becomes known using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting, resulting in the cumulative effect of changes reflected in the period. Estimates are reviewed and updated quarterly for substantially all contracts. For the three and nine months ended June 27, 2020 we recognized lower revenues of $6,023 and higher revenues of $3,655, respectively for adjustments made to performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods. For the three and nine months ended June 29, 2019 we recognized higher revenues of $3,898 and $14,336, respectively for adjustments made to performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods.

Contract costs include only allocable, allowable and reasonable costs which are included in cost of sales when incurred. For applicable U.S. Government contracts, contract costs are determined in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations and the related Cost Accounting Standards. The nature of these costs includes development engineering costs and product manufacturing costs such as direct material, direct labor, other direct costs and indirect overhead costs. Contract profit is recorded as a result of the revenue recognized less costs incurred in any reporting period. Variable consideration and contract modifications, such as performance incentives, penalties, contract claims or change orders are considered in estimating revenues, costs and profits when they can be reliably estimated and realization is considered probable. Revenue recognized on contracts for unresolved claims or unapproved contract change orders was not material for the three and nine months ended June 27, 2020.

As of June 27, 2020, we had contract reserves of $67,384. For contracts with anticipated losses at completion, a provision for the entire amount of the estimated remaining loss is charged against income in the period in which the loss becomes known. Contract losses are determined considering all direct and indirect contract costs, exclusive of any selling, general or administrative cost allocations that are treated as period expenses. Loss reserves are more common on firm fixed-price contracts that involve, to varying degrees, the design and development of new and unique controls or control systems to meet the customers’ specifications. In accordance with ASC 606, we calculate contract losses at the contract level, versus the performance obligation level. Recall reserves are recorded when additional work is needed on completed products for them to meet contract specifications. Contract-related loss reserves are recorded for the additional work needed on completed and delivered products in order for them to meet contract specifications.

Revenue recognized at the point in time control was transferred to the customer was 34% and 35%, respectively for the three and nine months ended June 27, 2020. This method of revenue recognition is used most frequently in Industrial Systems. We use this method for commercial contracts in which the asset being created has an alternative use. We determine the point in time control transfers to the customer by weighing the five indicators provided by ASC 606 - the entity has a present right to payment; the customer has legal title; the customer has physical possession; the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership; and the customer has accepted the asset. When control has transferred to the customer, profit is generated as cost of sales is recorded and as revenue is recognized. Inventory costs include all product manufacturing costs such as direct material, direct labor, other direct costs and indirect overhead cost allocations. Shipping and handling costs are considered costs to fulfill a contract and not considered performance obligations. They are included in cost of sales as incurred.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Unbilled receivables (contract assets) primarily represent revenues recognized for performance obligations that have been satisfied but for which amounts have not been billed. These are included as Receivables on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Contract advances (contract liabilities) relate to payments received from customers in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations for a contract. We do not consider contract advances to be significant financing components as the intent of these payments in advance are for reasons other than providing a significant financing benefit and are customary in our industry.

Total contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows:



	June 27, 2020		September 28, 2019
Unbilled receivables	$	506,429	$	468,824
Contract advances	209,368		137,242
Net contract assets	$	297,061	$	331,582

The increase in contract assets reflects the net impact of additional unbilled revenues recorded in excess of revenue recognized during the period. The increase in contract liabilities reflects the net impact of additional deferred revenues recorded in excess of revenue recognized during the period. For the three and nine months ended June 27, 2020, we recognized $10,016 and $71,556 of revenue, respectively, that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of June 27, 2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied), also known as backlog, was approximately $2,522,000. We expect to recognize approximately 66% of that amount as sales over the next twelve months and the balance thereafter.

Disaggregation of Revenue

See Note 19, Segments, for disclosures related to disaggregation of revenue.

Note 3 - Acquisitions and Divestitures

On November 28, 2019, we acquired Gesellschaft für Antriebstechnik mbH and GAT Inc. (GAT), headquartered in Geisenheim, Germany for a purchase price of $54,265, net of acquired cash. GAT designs and manufactures high-end fluid rotating unions and slip rings. This operation is included in our Industrial Systems segment. The purchase price allocation is subject to adjustments as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the measurement period.

In the first quarter of 2020, we sold a non-core business of our Industrial Systems segment for $1,775 in net consideration and recorded a gain in other income of $169.

In the first quarter of 2019, we sold a non-core business of our Industrial Systems segment for $4,191 in cash and recorded a gain in other income of $2,641.

Note 7 - Leases

On September 29, 2019, we adopted ASC 842: Leases, and the related amendments (ASC 842), using the modified retrospective method, as described in Note 1, Basis of Presentation, without adjusting prior comparative periods.

We lease certain manufacturing facilities, office space and machinery and equipment globally. At inception we evaluate whether a contractual arrangement contains a lease. Specifically, we consider whether we control the underlying asset and have the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits or outputs from the asset. If the contractual arrangement contains a lease, we then determine the classification of the lease, operating or finance, using the classification criteria described in ASC 842. We then determine the term of the lease based on terms and conditions of the contractual arrangement, including whether the options to extend or terminate the lease are reasonably certain to be exercised. We have elected to not separate lease components from non-lease components, such as common area maintenance charges and instead, account for the lease and non-lease components as a single component.

Our lease ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and our lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. Operating lease ROU assets are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Finance lease ROU assets are included in Property, plant and equipment and finance lease liabilities are included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Operating lease cost is included in Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings (Loss). Finance lease cost is included in Cost of sales, Selling, general and administrative and Interest on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings (Loss).

The ROU assets and lease liabilities for both operating and finance leases are recognized as of the commencement date at the net present value of the fixed minimum lease payments over the term of the lease, using the discount rate described below. Variable lease payments are recorded in the period in which the obligation for the payment is incurred. Variable lease payments based on an index or rate are initially measured using the index or rate as of the commencement date of the lease and included in the fixed minimum lease payments. For short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less as of the commencement date, we do not recognize a ROU asset or lease liability on our balance sheet; we recognize expense as the lease payments are made over the lease term.

The discount rate used to calculate the present value of our leases is the rate implicit in lease. If the information necessary to determine the rate implicit in the lease is not available, we use our incremental borrowing rate for collateralized debt, which is determined using our credit rating and other information available as of the lease commencement date.

The components of lease expense were as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 27, 2020		Nine Months Ended June 27, 2020
	Three Months Ended June 27, 2020		Nine Months Ended June 27, 2020

On October 15, 2019, we amended and restated our U.S. revolving credit facility, which matures on October 15, 2024. Our U.S. revolving credit facility has a capacity of $1,100,000 and provides an expansion option, which permits us to request an increase of up to $400,000 to the credit facility upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets. The loan agreement contains various covenants which, among others, specify interest coverage and maximum leverage. We are in compliance with all covenants.

The SECT has a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $35,000, maturing on July 26, 2022. Interest is based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin. A commitment fee is also charged based on a percentage of the unused amounts available and is not material.

On December 13, 2019, we completed the sale of $500,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior notes due December 15, 2027 with interest paid semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, which commenced on June 15, 2020. The senior notes are unsecured obligations, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain subsidiaries and contain normal incurrence-based covenants and limitations such as the ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make other restricted payments and investments, create liens and certain corporate acts such as mergers and consolidations. The aggregate net proceeds of $491,769 were used to repay indebtedness under our U.S. revolving credit facility, thereby increasing the unused portion of our U.S. revolving credit facility.

Table of Contents

On December 13, 2019, we issued a notice of redemption to the holders of our 5.25% senior notes due on December 1, 2022, to redeem and retire all of the outstanding notes. The notes were redeemed on January 13, 2020 at 101.313% pursuant to an early redemption right. We redeemed the aggregate principal amount of $300,000 using proceeds drawn from our U.S. revolving credit facility. The associated loss on the redemption includes $3,939 of call premium paid to external bondholders.

The Securitization Program was extended on October 16, 2019 and matures on October 29, 2021 and effectively increases our borrowing capacity by up to $130,000. Under the Securitization Program, we sell certain trade receivables and related rights to an affiliate, which in turn sells an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the trade receivables to a financial institution, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. Interest for the Securitization Program is based on 30-day LIBOR plus an applicable margin. A commitment fee is also charged based on a percentage of the unused amounts available and is not material. The agreement governing the Securitization Program contains restrictions and covenants which include limitations on the making of certain restricted payments, creation of certain liens, and certain corporate acts such as mergers, consolidations and sale of substantially all assets. The Securitization Program has a minimum borrowing requirement equal to the lesser of either 80% of our borrowing capacity or 100% of our borrowing base, which is a subset of the trade receivables sold under this agreement. As of June 27, 2020, our minimum borrowing requirement was $65,680.

Note 11 - Derivative Financial Instruments

We principally use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk associated with long-term debt and foreign exchange risk related to foreign operations and foreign currency transactions. We enter into derivative financial instruments with a number of major financial institutions to minimize counterparty credit risk.

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments

Interest rate swaps are used to adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable and fixed interest rates. The interest rate swaps are designated as hedges of the amount of future cash flows related to interest payments on variable-rate debt that, in combination with the interest payments on the debt, convert a portion of the variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. At June 27, 2020, we had no outstanding interest rate swaps.

We use foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges to effectively fix the exchange rates on future payments and revenue. To mitigate exposure in movements between various currencies, including the Philippine peso, the British pound and the Czech koruna, we had outstanding foreign currency forwards with notional amounts of $47,920 at June 27, 2020. These contracts mature at various times through November 26, 2021.

We use forward currency contracts to hedge our net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. As of June 27, 2020, we had no outstanding net investment hedges.

These interest rate swaps, foreign currency contracts and net investment hedges are recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at fair value and the related gains or losses are deferred in Shareholders’ Equity as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCIL). These deferred gains and losses are reclassified into the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings (Loss), as necessary, during the periods in which the related payments or receipts affect earnings. However, to the extent the interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts are not perfectly effective in offsetting the change in the value of the payments and revenue being hedged, the ineffective portion of these contracts is recognized in earnings immediately. Ineffectiveness was not material in the first nine months of 2020 or 2019.

Table of Contents

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

We also have foreign currency exposure on balances, primarily intercompany, that are denominated in foreign currencies and are adjusted to current values using period-end exchange rates. The resulting gains or losses are recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings (Loss). To minimize foreign currency exposure, we had foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of $99,305 at June 27, 2020. The foreign currency contracts are recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at fair value and resulting gains or losses are recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings (Loss). We recorded the following gains or losses on foreign currency contracts which are included in other income or expense and generally offset the gains or losses from the foreign currency adjustments on the intercompany balances that are also included in other income or expense:

Note 12 - Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. The definition of the fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.

Level 3 – Inputs for which significant valuation assumptions are unobservable in a market and therefore value is based on the best available data, some of which is internally developed and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.

Our derivatives are valued using various pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses that incorporate observable market data, such as interest rate yield curves and currency rates, and are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

The following table presents the fair values and classification of our financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, all of which are classified as Level 2.



	Balance Sheets location	June 27, 2020		September 28, 2019
Foreign currency contracts	Other current assets	$	1,920	$	1,153
Foreign currency contracts	Other assets	162		261
Interest rate swaps	Other current assets	—		57
	Total assets	$	2,082	$	1,471
Foreign currency contracts	Accrued liabilities and other	$	1,454	$	1,095
Foreign currency contracts	Other long-term liabilities	9		152
	Total liabilities	$	1,463	$	1,247

Our only financial instrument for which the carrying value differs from its fair value is long-term debt. At June 27, 2020, the fair value of long-term debt was $982,516 compared to its carrying value of $997,151. The fair value of long-term debt is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and was estimated based on quoted market prices.

Property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets have been measured at fair values on a nonrecurring basis using future discounted cash flows and other observable inputs (Level 3) and are not included in the fair value tables above. The impairment losses of $31,871 recorded for the three and nine months ended June 27, 2020 as a result of these measurements are described in Note 6 - Property, Plant and Equipment, Note 7 - Leases and Note 8 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets.

Note 14 - Restructuring

In 2020, we initiated restructuring actions in relation to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The actions have and will result in workforce reductions, primarily in the Philippines and the U.S. We have recorded a total of $4,276 for severance.

Restructuring activity for severance and other costs is as follows:



	Aircraft Controls			Space and Defense Controls			Industrial Systems			Total
Balance at September 28, 2019	$	—		$	27		$	4,096		$	4,123

As of June 27, 2020, the restructuring accrual consists of $3,635 for the 2020 plan and $2,653 for the 2018 plan. Restructuring is expected to be paid within a year, except for the non-current portion of the facility closure accrual, which is classified as a long-term liability.

Note 15 - Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 27, 2020 were 46.1% and 17%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 27, 2020 varies from what would be expected by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% to earnings before income taxes, primarily due to provision to return adjustments associated with an increase in foreign tax credit utilization. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 27, 2020 also reflects a low earnings before income taxes base.

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2019 were 23.1% and 23.7%, respectively. The effective tax rate for all periods is higher than would be expected by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% to earnings before income taxes primarily due to tax on earnings generated outside of the U.S.

Note 21 - Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings. We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings which management believes will result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We are engaged in administrative proceedings with governmental agencies and legal proceedings with governmental agencies and other third parties in the normal course of our business, including litigation under Superfund laws, regarding environmental matters. We believe that adequate reserves have been established for our share of the estimated cost for all currently pending environmental administrative or legal proceedings and do not expect that these environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In the ordinary course of business we could be subject to ongoing claims or disputes from our customers, the ultimate settlement of which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations. While the receivables and any loss provisions recorded to date reflect management's best estimate of the projected costs to complete a given project, there may still be significant effort required to complete the ultimate deliverable. Future variability in internal cost as well as future profitability is dependent upon a number of factors including deliveries, performance and government budgetary pressures. The inability to achieve a satisfactory contractual solution, further unplanned delays, additional developmental cost growth or variations in any of the estimates used in the existing contract analysis could lead to further loss provisions. Additional losses could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the period in which the loss may be recognized.

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

The following should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2019. All references to years in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are to fiscal years and amounts may differ from reported values due to rounding.

OVERVIEW

We are a worldwide designer, manufacturer and systems integrator of high performance precision motion and fluid controls and control systems for a broad range of applications in aerospace and defense and industrial markets.

Within the aerospace and defense market, our products and systems include:


•	Defense market - primary and secondary flight controls for military aircraft, stabilization and automatic ammunition loading controls for armored combat vehicles, tactical and strategic missile steering controls and gun aiming controls.


•	Commercial aircraft market - primary and secondary flight controls for commercial aircraft.


•	Commercial space market - satellite positioning controls and thrust vector controls for space launch vehicles.

In the industrial market, our products are used in a wide range of applications including:


•	Industrial automation market - injection molding, metal forming, heavy industry, material and automotive testing and pilot training simulators.


•	Medical market - enteral clinical nutrition and infusion therapy pumps, ultrasonic sensors and surgical handpieces and CT scanners.


•	Energy market - power generation and oil and gas exploration.

We operate under three segments, Aircraft Controls, Space and Defense Controls and Industrial Systems. Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, Philippines, United Kingdom, Germany, Czech Republic, Italy, Costa Rica, China, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Japan, Canada, India and Lithuania.

Under ASC 606, 66% of revenue was recognized over time for the quarter ended June 27, 2020, using the cost-to-cost method of accounting. The over time method of revenue recognition is predominantly used in Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls. We use this method for U.S. Government contracts and repair and overhaul arrangements as we are creating or enhancing assets that the customer controls. In addition, many of our large commercial contracts qualify for over time accounting as our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

For the quarter ended June 27, 2020, 34% of revenue was recognized at the point in time control transferred to the customer. This method of revenue recognition is used most frequently in Industrial Systems. We use this method for commercial contracts in which the asset being created has an alternative use. We determine the point in time control transfers to the customer by weighing the five indicators provided by ASC 606. When control has transferred to the customer, profit is generated as cost of sales is recorded and as revenue is recognized.

We concentrate on providing our customers with products designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards. Our technical experts work collaboratively around the world, delivering capabilities for mission-critical solutions. These core operational principles are necessary as our products are applied in demanding applications, "When Performance Really Matters^®." By capitalizing on these core foundational strengths, we believe we have achieved a leadership position in the high performance, precision controls market. Additionally, these strengths yield a broad control product portfolio, across a diverse base of customers and end markets.

By focusing on customer intimacy and commitment to solving their most demanding technical problems, we have been able to expand our control product franchise to multiple markets; organically growing from a high-performance components manufacturer to a high-performance systems designer, manufacturer and systems integrator. In addition, we continue expanding our content positions on our current platforms, seeking to be the dominant supplier in the niche markets we serve. We also look for innovation in all aspects of our business, employing new technologies to improve productivity and operational performance.

Table of Contents

Our fundamental long-term strategies to achieve our goals center around talent, lean and innovation and include:


•	a strong leadership team that has positioned the Company for growth,


•	utilizing our global capabilities and strong engineering heritage to innovate,


•	maintaining our technological excellence by solving our customers’ most demanding technical problems in applications "When Performance Really Matters^®,"


•	continuing to invest in talent development to strengthen employee performance, and


•	maximizing customer value by implementing lean enterprise principles.

These activities will help us achieve our financial objective of increasing shareholder value with sustainable competitive advantages across our segments. In doing so, we expect to maintain a balanced, diversified portfolio in terms of markets served, product applications, customer base and geographic presence.

We focus on improving shareholder value through strategic revenue growth, both acquired and organic, through improving operating efficiencies and manufacturing initiatives and through utilizing low cost manufacturing facilities without compromising quality. Historically, we have taken a balanced approach to capital deployment in order to maximize shareholder returns over the long-term. Our activities have included strategic acquisitions, share buybacks and dividend payments. In the current COVID-19 environment, we have shifted our capital deployment strategies from a long-term perspective that balances growth and capital returns with one that focuses on liquidity and leverage in the near-term. Our immediate financial focus will continue to revolve around cash preservation and cost management, while opportunistically resuming investments in a measured and balanced way. We are committed to ensuring that we have adequate liquidity during this crisis, protecting the long-term health of the Company and emerging financially strong and ready to capitalize on opportunities once this situation stabilizes.

Acquisitions, Divestitures and Equity Method Investments

All of our acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method and, accordingly, the operating results for the acquired companies are included in the consolidated condensed statements of earnings (loss) from the respective dates of acquisition. Under purchase accounting, we record assets and liabilities at fair value and such amounts are reflected in the respective captions on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. The purchase price described for each acquisition below is net of any cash acquired, includes debt issued or assumed and the fair value of contingent consideration.

On November 28, 2019, we acquired Gesellschaft für Antriebstechnik mbH and GAT Inc. (GAT), headquartered in Geisenheim, Germany for a purchase price of $54 million, net of acquired cash. GAT designs and manufactures high-end fluid rotating unions and slip rings. This operation is included in our Industrial Systems segment. The purchase price allocation is subject to adjustments as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the measurement period.

In the first quarter of 2020, we sold a non-core business in our Industrial Systems segment for $2 million in net consideration and recorded a minimal gain in other income.

In the first quarter of 2019, we sold a non-core business in our Industrial Systems segment for $4 million in cash and recorded a gain in other income of $3 million.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

On a regular basis, we evaluate the critical accounting policies used to prepare our consolidated financial statements, including revenue recognition on long-term contracts, contract reserves, reserves for inventory valuation, reviews for impairment of goodwill, reviews for impairment of long-lived assets, pension assumptions and income taxes.

COVID-19 IMPACTS ON OUR BUSINESS

The spread of the COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted businesses on a global scale. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization classified the outbreak as a pandemic. As we entered this crisis, the Company established two clear priorities: first and foremost the health and safety of our employees and their families, and second, continuing to meet the needs of our customers and secure the financial well-being of the Company. Substantially all of our operations and production activities have, to-date, remained operational. Many are considered essential and are exempt from closure directives. However, such directives could change at any time. We have implemented changes in our work practices maintaining a safe working environment for production employees at our facilities, while enabling other employees to productively work from home.

Early in the third quarter of 2020 in response to this situation, we implemented short term actions to maintain the financial health and liquidity of the Company. We now have more clarity around customer demand. We have resized the business in end markets in which we are facing significant and sustained reductions in demand. We will continue to monitor the situation, assessing further possible implications on our operations, supply chain, liquidity, cash flow and customer orders, and will take action in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences. Our immediate financial focus will continue to revolve around cash preservation and cost management, while opportunistically resuming investments in a measured and balanced way.

Recognizing the unprecedented nature, scope and continued uncertainty associated with this global health crisis, the duration and extent of the ongoing impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Our businesses are facing varying levels of pressure depending on the markets they serve. As such, we have suspended our practice of providing an outlook for fiscal 2020. However, our sales outlook for the fourth quarter of 2020 should resemble the sales results of the third quarter of 2020, with strength in our defense, space and medical markets and further weakness in our industrial market and little to no improvement in our commercial aircraft market.

We believe that our existing financial arrangements, along with our actions to mitigate the business pressures we are facing, will be sufficient to meet our operating needs over the short-term. We have available borrowings under short and long-term arrangements that could provide relief should the situation become more stressed.

Net sales decreased in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019, driven by the decline in commercial aircraft within our Aircraft Controls segment. Net sales increased in the first three quarters of 2020 compared to the first three quarters of 2019, driven by growth in the space market within our Space and Defense Controls segment and by growth in the medical market of our Industrial Systems segment.

Gross margin declined in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019. Gross profit in the third quarter of 2020 includes $19 million of an inventory write-down related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. Also as a result of the macro-economic conditions from the COVID-19 pandemic, our Aircraft Controls and Industrial Systems segments suffered inefficiencies due to significantly lower sales volumes. Additionally, negative adjustments to contract values in Aircraft Controls further reduced gross margin in the third quarter of 2020. Gross margin in the first three quarters of 2020 was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic related charges in the third quarter of 2020, as well as higher operating costs and development program charges in Aircraft Controls.

Research and development expenses declined in both the third quarter and the first three quarters of 2020 compared to the same periods of 2019. Lower activity, primarily in our major commercial OEM programs, in Aircraft Controls reduced expenses $8 million in the first three quarters of 2020. Also lower activity in Industrial Systems reduced research and development expenses $4 million in the first three quarters of 2020.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019. The adoption of our cost containment actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic helped to reduce expenses, but not at the same pace as the sales volume declines experienced primarily in Aircraft Controls.

In the third quarter of 2020, we incurred impairment and restructuring expenses related to the impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on our business. In the third quarter of 2020, we incurred $19 million of inventory write-downs, $32 million of long-lived asset impairments and $5 million of restructuring expense. Of the total expense, the charges consist of $19 million of non-cash inventory reserves, $24 million of non-cash charges for the impairment of property, plant and equipment, $5 million of non-cash charges for the impairment of leased assets, $2 million of non-cash charges for the impairment of intangible assets, $4 million for severance and $1 million for other costs.

Other expense in the first three quarters of 2020 includes a $4 million call premium as we redeemed our $300 million aggregate principal 5.25% senior notes. Other expense in the first three quarters of 2019 includes $1 million of higher non-service pension expense and $1 million of additional foreign currency expense loss.

The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2020 varies from what would be expected by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate, primarily due provision to return adjustments associated with an increase in foreign tax credit utilization on a low earnings before income taxes base.

Table of Contents

The change in twelve-month backlog at June 27, 2020 compared to June 29, 2019 was driven by increases in our military aircraft programs and in our medical programs. Within Aircraft Controls, backlog increased due to the timing of orders of the F-35 program, additional military development program orders, as well as higher military aftermarket orders. Within our medical programs, backlog increased due to higher demand in response to COVID-19 requirements. These increases were mostly offset by our commercial aircraft and industrial automation customers' responses to the COVID-19 pandemic as we have lower orders across both markets.

Other comprehensive loss in the third quarter of 2020 includes $2 million of foreign currency translation gain, whereas other comprehensive income in 2019 includes $1 million of foreign currency translation loss. The change in foreign currency translation in the third quarter 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019 was primarily attributable to the appreciation of the British Pound relative to the U.S. Dollar. Other comprehensive income in the first three quarters of 2020 is a gain less than $1 million, whereas other comprehensive income in the first three quarters of 2019 includes $9 million of foreign currency translation loss. The change in foreign currency translation in the first three quarters of 2020 compared to the first three quarters of 2019 was primarily attributable to the appreciation of the Euro and British Pound offset by the depreciation of other foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar.

The decrease in Aircraft Controls' net sales in the third quarter and in the first three quarters of 2020 compared to the same periods of 2019 was driven by the decrease in our commercial OEM and commercial aftermarket programs. The declines in these programs were primarily attributable to the impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic. Partially offsetting the declines was an increase in our military OEM and military aftermarket sales.

In the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019, commercial OEM sales decreased $85 million and commercial aftermarket decreased $17 million. Across our commercial aircraft programs, the COVID-19 pandemic greatly reduced airline traffic and orders for new aircraft while, concurrently, our airframe customers reduced their inventory levels. Additionally in the third quarter of 2020, military aftermarket sales increased $14 million due to higher level of activity as we transferred resources from commercial to military aftermarket. Within military OEM, higher F-35 activity increased sales $12 million, but was mostly offset by lower foreign military sales.

In the first three quarters of 2020 compared to the first three quarters of 2019, commercial OEM sales declined $78 million and commercial aftermarket sales declined $15 million. The declines in commercial OEM sales are driven by the same factors as the third quarter. Also in the first three quarters of 2020, military OEM sales increased $33 million and military aftermarket sales increased $30 million. Within military OEM, sales increased $18 million on the F-35 program, $10 million on funded development programs, in addition to $6 million on KC-46 programs. The sales increase in military aftermarket was mostly driven by strong repair and overhaul activity in the third quarter and by higher spares sales on the F-35 program.

Operating margin decreased in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019 due mostly to the dramatic decline in sales in our commercial aircraft markets. We incurred COVID-19 pandemic related impairments and restructuring totaling $53 million. Excluding these charges, adjusted operating margin in the third quarter of 2020 was 4.4%. In addition, unfavorable sales mix and negative adjustments to contract values further reduced operating margins. Additionally, in the first three quarters of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019, higher operating costs offset both the incremental margin from higher foreign military sales and $8 million of lower research and development expenses.

The increase in Space and Defense Controls' net sales growth in the third quarter and in the first three quarters of 2020 compared to the third quarter and the first three quarters of 2019 was primarily driven by growth in our space market.

In the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019, sales increased $19 million in our space market. Sales for launch vehicle programs increased $15 million due to higher amounts of development work and higher NASA activity. Sales also increased $3 million for satellite controls, due mostly to higher space avionics activity. Within our defense market, sales decreased $8 million, due mostly to program delays for defense components and the timing of production activity for missile programs. Partially offsetting these declines was an increase of $5 million for foreign defense vehicle programs.

In the first three quarters of 2020 compared to the first three quarters of 2019, sales in our space market increased $51 million. Sales increased $37 million and $10 million for launch vehicles and satellite controls, respectively, due to the same factors in the third quarter. Within our defense market, sales increased $18 million. Sales for foreign defense vehicle programs and for naval applications increased $19 million. These increases offset an $8 million sales decline for security sales due to lower orders.

Operating margin decreased in the third quarter and was unchanged in the first three quarters of 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 due to unfavorable sales mix as we have higher amounts of funded development work. Partially offsetting this decline are the cost containment actions we initiated in response to COVID-19 helped to reduce expenses.

The decline in Industrial Systems' net sales in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019 was driven by macroeconomic factors on our legacy industrial products, but was mostly offset by acquired sales and by increased sales into our medical markets. In the first three quarters of 2020 compared to the first three quarters of 2019, the same growth factors from the third quarter offset declines across the remainder of our industrial markets.

In the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019, sales declined $19 million in our industrial automation market, in part due to the continued slowdown of capital investments by our customers and lower sales to China due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, sales decreased $4 million in our simulation and test market due to lower flight simulation orders as pilot training has been reduced. Mostly offsetting these sales declines was a $15 million increase in medical product sales due to higher demand for our medical devices and components.

In the first three quarters of 2020 compared to the first three quarters of 2019, sales in our medical market increased $33 million. Sales for medical devices increased $25 million as we had higher demand for our enteral and IV products, and sales for medical components products increased $8 million. Acquired sales from our GAT acquisition in the first three quarters of 2020 were $25 million. These increases offset sales declines in our industrial automation and simulation and test markets, driven by the same factors as the third quarter.

Operating margin decreased in the third quarter and in the first three quarters of 2020 compared to the third quarter and the first three quarters of 2019. Macroeconomic factors, including the global pandemic, had a negative impact on our margins. In addition, low margins attributable to first year accounting impacts associated with our recent acquisition further reduced margins.

Operating activities	$	188		$	129		$	59
Investing activities	(128		)	(89		)	(40		)
Financing activities	(46		)	(79		)	33

Our available borrowing capacity and our cash flow from operations have provided us with the financial resources needed to run our operations, reinvest in our business and make strategic acquisitions.

At June 27, 2020, our cash balances were $106 million, which was primarily held outside of the U.S. Cash flow from our U.S. operations, together with borrowings on our credit facility, fund on-going activities, debt service requirements and future growth investments.

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased in the first three quarters of 2020 compared to the first three quarters of 2019. In the first three quarters of 2020, receivables activity provided $111 million more cash, driven primarily by robust collections and by increased cash receipts as the U.S. government raised the progress payment rates on its defense contracts. Also, cash provided by customer advances increased $78 million, driven by growth in both Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls. These increases were partially offset by accounts payable use of $104 million, due to the timing of vendor receipts, as well as higher inventory build-up in Aircraft Controls.

Investing activities

Net cash used by investing activities in the first three quarters of 2020 included $54 million for our acquisition of GAT. Net cash used by investing activities in the first three quarters of 2020 also included $70 million for capital expenditures, whereas net cash used by investing activities in the first three quarters 2019 included $91 million for capital expenditures. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we actively managed and prioritized our capital spend, focusing on compliance and business critical projects.

Financing activities

Net cash used by financing activities in the first three quarters of 2020 included $179 million to fund our stock repurchase program, $45 million of net payments on long-term debt and $17 million of cash dividends. Additionally, financing activities in the first three quarters of 2020 included the net proceeds of issuing our $500 million aggregate principal 4.25% senior notes, which were used to repay a portion of our outstanding borrowings.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND RESOURCES

We maintain bank credit facilities to fund our short and long-term capital requirements, including for acquisitions. From time to time, we also sell debt and equity securities to fund acquisitions or take advantage of favorable market conditions.

On October 15, 2019, we amended and restated our U.S. revolving credit facility, which matures on October 15, 2024. Our U.S. revolving credit facility has a capacity of $1.1 billion and also provides an expansion option, which permits us to request an increase of up to $400 million to the credit facility upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The U.S. revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of $404 million at June 27, 2020. The weighted-average interest rate on primarily all of the outstanding credit facility borrowings was 2.19% and is based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which was 1.50% at June 27, 2020. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets.

The U.S. revolving credit facility contains various covenants. The minimum for the interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of EBITDA to interest expense for the most recent four quarters, is 3.0. The maximum for the leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of net debt to EBITDA for the most recent four quarters, is 4.0. We are in compliance with all covenants. EBITDA is defined in the loan agreement as (i) the sum of net income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, other non-cash items reducing consolidated net income and non-cash equity-based compensation expenses minus (ii) other non-cash items increasing consolidated net income.

We are generally not required to obtain the consent of lenders of the U.S. revolving credit facility before raising significant additional debt financing; however, certain limitations and conditions may apply that would require consent to be obtained. In recent years, we have demonstrated our ability to secure consents to access debt markets. We have also been successful in accessing equity markets from time to time. We believe that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing as needed.

The SECT has a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $35 million, maturing on July 26, 2022. Interest was 2.30% as of June 27, 2020 and is based on LIBOR plus a margin of 2.13%. As of June 27, 2020, there was $8 million of outstanding borrowings.

On December 13, 2019, we completed the sale of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior notes due December 15, 2027 with interest paid semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, which commenced on June 15, 2020. The senior notes are unsecured obligations, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain subsidiaries and contain normal incurrence-based covenants and limitations such as the ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make other restricted payments and investments, create liens and certain corporate acts such as mergers and consolidations. The aggregate net proceeds of $492 million were used to repay indebtedness under our U.S. bank facility, thereby increasing the unused portion of our U.S. revolving credit facility.

On December 13, 2019, we issued a notice of redemption to the holders of our 5.25% senior notes due on December 1, 2022, to redeem and retire all of the outstanding notes. The notes were redeemed on January 13, 2020 at 101.313%, pursuant to an early redemption right. We redeemed the aggregate principal amount of $300 million using proceeds drawn from our U.S. revolving credit facility. The associated loss on the redemption includes $4 million of call premium paid to external bondholders. We had a total outstanding balance on our senior notes of $500 million at June 27, 2020.

We have a trade receivables securitization facility (the "Securitization Program"), which was extended on October 16, 2019 and matures on October 29, 2021. The Securitization Program provides up to $130 million of borrowing capacity and lowers our cost to borrow funds as compared to the U.S. revolving credit facility. Under the Securitization Program, we sell certain trade receivables and related rights to an affiliate, which in turn sells an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the trade receivables to a financial institution, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. We had an outstanding balance of $82 million at June 27, 2020. The Securitization Program has a minimum borrowing requirement, which was $66 million at June 27, 2020. Interest on the secured borrowings under the Securitization Program was 1.05% at June 27, 2020 and is based on 30-day LIBOR plus an applicable margin.

At June 27, 2020, our leverage ratio covenant limits our unused borrowing capacity to $620 million as of June 27, 2020.

Table of Contents

Net debt to capitalization was 41% at June 27, 2020 and 36% at September 28, 2019. The increase in net debt to capitalization is primarily due to our share repurchases.

We declared and paid cash dividends of $0.25 per share on our Class A and Class B common stock in the first and second quarters of 2020.

The Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program. This program has been amended from time to time to authorize additional repurchases that includes both Class A and Class B common stock, and allows us to buy up to an aggregate 13 million common shares. Under this program, we have purchased approximately 12.2 million shares for $852 million as of June 27, 2020.

In response to the COVID-19 situation, in the third quarter of 2020 we have implemented short term actions to maintain the financial health and liquidity of the Company including temporarily suspending dividend payments and share buyback activities.

Our immediate financial focus will continue to revolve around cash preservation and cost management, while opportunistically resuming investments in a measured and balanced way. We are committed to ensuring that we have adequate liquidity during this crisis, protecting the long-term health of the Company and emerging financially strong and ready to capitalize on opportunities once this situation stabilizes.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND MARKET TRENDS

We operate within the aerospace and defense and industrial markets. Our businesses are facing varying levels of pressure from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Within our aerospace and defense markets, our defense and space businesses represent approximately half of our sales through the first three quarters of 2020. We expect these businesses may face modest supply chain and production level risks, as they are more directly affected by program funding levels which, to-date, are stable. However, our commercial aircraft market, which represents less than 20% of our first three quarters 2020 sales, will continue to face the greatest pressures with the dramatic reductions in air travel.

Within our industrial markets, our industrial automation, simulation and test and energy niche markets, which represents less than 25% of our sales through the first three quarters of 2020, will continue to face productivity and demand challenges from the macroeconomic slowdown and reduced capital investments. However, our medical business, which represents approximately 10% of our sales in the first three quarters of 2020, has seen increased demand for our medical applications essential in the fight against the pandemic.

A common factor throughout our markets is the continuing demand for technologically advanced products.

Aerospace and Defense

Within aerospace and defense, we serve three end markets: defense, commercial aircraft and space.

The defense market is dependent on military spending for development and production programs, which to-date, have not been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have a growing development program order book for future generation aircraft and hypersonic missiles. We hope to embed our technologies within these high-performance military programs of the future. Aircraft production programs are typically long-term in nature, offering predictability as to capacity needs and future revenues. We maintain positions on numerous high priority programs, including the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, FA-18E/F Super Hornet and V-22 Osprey. The large installed base of our products led to attractive aftermarket sales and service opportunities. The tactical and strategic missile, missile defense and defense controls markets are dependent on many of the same market conditions as military aircraft, including overall military spending and program funding levels. At times when there are perceived threats to national security, U.S. Defense spending can increase; at other times, defense spending can decrease. Future levels of defense spending are uncertain, subject to congressional debate and could be reduced if the pandemic is extended. Our security and surveillance product line is dependent on government funding at federal and local levels, as well as private sector demand, which may continue to face pressures as governments shift their funding to support the COVID-19 pandemic.

The commercial aircraft market has depended on a number of factors, including the last decade's increasing global demand for air travel and increasing fuel prices. Both factors contributed to the demand for new, more fuel-efficient aircraft with lower operating costs that lead to large production backlogs for Boeing and Airbus. However, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has drastically reduced air traffic as travel restrictions and social distancing measures were implemented to help control the spread of the virus. The reduced air traffic has applied financial pressures on airlines, which have in turn dramatically reduced flight hours and delayed the purchases of new aircraft in order to preserve cash and liquidity. Given the uncertain length of this pandemic, the commercial market may shift away from wide-body aircraft. Additionally, given the abruptly stalled global economies and social pauses, global oil production is now over-supplied, creating drastic reductions in the prices of oil. The lower prices for jet fuel mitigates the advantage of new, more fuel-efficient aircraft that created record backlogs for the OEMs. Furthermore, as companies and employees become accustomed to working remotely, business travel and the associated flight hours may not reach the pre-crisis levels. As such, we believe Boeing and Airbus will directionally match their production rates with the reduced air traffic volume, which will lower their demand for our flight control systems. We believe the commercial OEM market will face these pressures for a prolonged period of time.

The commercial aftermarket is driven by usage and age of the existing aircraft fleet for passenger and cargo aircraft, which drives the need for maintenance and repairs. Given the dramatic reductions in flight hours and the cash preservation measures by the airlines due to the impacts of COVID-19, we believe the demand volume for our maintenance services and spare parts will remain at historically low levels over the short-term. Also, with fewer expected new aircraft deliveries, we would see lower future initial provisioning and spares sales. However, when domestic and international travel begins to recover, we expect a faster recovery in this market as compared to the commercial OEM market.

The space market is comprised of four customer markets: the civil market, namely NASA, the department of defense market, the commercial space market and the new space market. The civil market is driven by investment for commercial and exploration activities, including NASA's return to the moon. The department of defense market is driven by governmental-authorized levels of funding for satellite communications, as well as funding for hypersonic defense technologies. The commercial space market is comprised of large satellite customers, which traditionally sell to communications companies. Trends for this market, as well as for commercial launch vehicles, follow demand for increased capacity. This, in turn tends to track with underlying demand for increased consumption of telecommunication services, satellite replacements and global navigation needs. The new space market is driven by investments to increase the speed and access to space through smaller satellites, at reduced cost. Similar to the defense market, the funding for these markets have not been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic to-date.

Industrial

Within the industrial market, we serve industrial automation, energy, simulation and test and medical niche markets.

In general, the industrial automation market we serve is influenced by several factors including capital investment, product innovation, economic conditions, cost-reduction efforts and technology upgrades. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and governments around the world implementing increasingly stringent measures to help control the spread of the virus, the subsequent economic downturn has constrained capital investment and slowed investments in product innovation. These unfavorable economic conditions have, and could for an extended period of time, affected our supply chain, productivity and customer demand. Our customers are also impacted by international and domestic economic conditions.

Our simulation and test products operate in a market that is largely affected by these same factors and investment challenges stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. Reduced air travel and the subsequent reduction in new commercial aircraft have reduced the need for flight simulator training, for which we supply motion control products. Similarly, the recent lower capital spend has reduced the need for our testing applications.

Our energy generation and exploration products operate in a market that is affected by changing oil and natural gas prices, global urbanization and the resulting change in supply and demand for global energy. Historically, drivers for global growth include investments in power generation infrastructure and exploration of new oil and gas resources. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to reduced oil prices, which reduces the economic feasibility for these investments and explorations.

The medical market we serve, in general, is influenced by economic conditions, regulatory environments, hospital and outpatient clinic spending on equipment, population demographics, medical advances, patient demands and the need for precision control components and systems. The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has created unprecedented demand for medical equipment and has shifted the way hospitals optimize their capacity. Our medical components products are critical motion control components for life saving medical equipment, including ventilators, oxygen concentrators and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines, among others. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the demand for ventilators. Our products are a key component of the industry's supply chain. Additionally, our medical devices products including infusion and enteral feeding pumps, and their corresponding disposable sets, are used primarily in the home healthcare environment. Since the COVID-19 pandemic has altered the way hospitals provide care by asking non-critical patients to recuperate at home and by creating temporary hospitals to treat the surge in demand, our medical devices products have seen an increase in orders.

Foreign Currencies

We are affected by the movement of foreign currencies compared to the U.S. dollar, particularly in Aircraft Controls and Industrial Systems. About one-fifth of our 2019 sales were denominated in foreign currencies. During the first nine months of 2020, average foreign currency rates generally weakened against the U.S. dollar compared to 2019. The translation of the results of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars decreased sales by $8 million compared to the same period one year ago.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 28, 2019 for a complete discussion of our risk factors. There have been no material changes in the current year regarding our risk factors, other than the addition of the following:

We face various risks related to health epidemics such as the global COVID-19 pandemic, which may have material adverse consequences on our operations, financial position, cash flows, and those of our customers and suppliers. We face adverse effects related to the global COVID-19 pandemic, including disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, disruption in our global supply chain and a net reduction in our overall manufacturing activities. We would expect the COVID-19 pandemic to adversely affect our operations if significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively due to illness, quarantines, government actions, facility closures, or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, our financial position, supply chain, liquidity, cash flow and customer orders would also face pressures for at least the balance of this fiscal year.

Substantially all of our operations and production activities in the U.S. and globally have remained operational during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of our facilities are considered essential activities (including work for the U.S. military and the supply of medical devices and sub-assemblies) exempt from closure directives. However, they are subject to various local and national directives curtailing operations, requiring work from home and social distancing which otherwise could impact the efficiency of our operations. Such directives could change at any time.

We continue to monitor the situation, assess further possible implications to our operations, supply chain, liquidity, cash flow and customer orders, and take actions in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences.

Recognizing the unprecedented nature, scale and uncertainty associated with this global health crisis, the duration and extent of the on-going impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

The potential phase out of LIBOR may negatively impact our debt agreements and financial position, results of operations and liquidity. On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced that it intends to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. It is unclear whether new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established or whether different benchmark rates used to price indebtedness will develop. If LIBOR ceases to exist, we may need to renegotiate our debt agreements that extend beyond 2021 that utilize LIBOR as a factor in determining the interest rate, which may negatively impact the terms of such indebtedness. In addition, the overall financial markets may be disrupted as a result of the phase out or replacement of LIBOR. Disruption in the financial markets could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.
