PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts

1. Management representation

In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2016, the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and cash flows for the three months then ended. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events that have occurred through the date these financial statements were issued. No subsequent events have occurred that required adjustment to these financial statements.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." ASU 2016-15 provides specific guidance on several cash flow classification issues to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified within the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods with those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect that ASU 2016-15 will have on its financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods with those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on its financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." Under ASU 2016-09, all excess tax benefits and deficiencies arising from employee share-based payment awards, and dividends on those awards, will be recognized in the income statement during the period in which they occur. ASU 2016-09 allows companies to make an accounting policy election to estimate forfeitures, as required today, or record them when they occur and allows companies to withhold an amount up to the maximum statutory tax rate without causing the award to be classified as a liability. Within the statement of cash flows, ASU 2016-09 requires excess tax benefits to be classified as an operating activity and cash payments to tax authorities in connection with shares withheld to be classified as a financing activity. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company applied the recognition of the excess tax benefits and deficiencies requirement on a prospective basis and recognized a discrete income tax benefit of $9,502, which was recorded as a reduction to income tax expense. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, this excess tax benefit was recorded as an increase to additional capital. The cash flow classification requirements of ASU 2016-09 were applied retrospectively. As a result, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 cash flows from operating activities was increased by $14,971 and cash flows from financing activities was decreased by $14,971. The Company elected to continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur rather than electing to account for forfeitures as they occur. The other provisions of ASU 2016-09 related to accounting for income taxes and minimum statutory share withholding tax requirements had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases." ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheet by recognizing a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing their right to use the asset during the lease term. Lessee recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows will not change significantly from existing guidance. Lessor accounting is also largely unchanged from existing guidance. ASU 2016-02 requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures that provide information about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial statements.

- 7 -

2. New Accounting Pronouncements, cont'd

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities." ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments (excluding equity method investments and investments that are consolidated) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value may be measured at cost, adjusted for impairment and observable price changes. The ASU also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments, eliminates the disclosure of the assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at cost on the balance sheet and requires the exit price to be used when measuring fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. Under ASU 2016-01, changes in fair value (resulting from instrument-specific credit risk) will be presented separately in other comprehensive income for liabilities measured using the fair value option and financial assets and liabilities will be presented separately by measurement category and type either on the balance sheet or in the financial statement disclosures. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not yet determined the effect that ASU 2016-01 will have on its financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest." ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in the ASU. ASU 2015-03 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company retrospectively adopted ASU 2015-03 and has revised the following captions within the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2016:



	As Previously Reported	Revised
Other assets	850,088	827,492
Notes payable and long-term debt payable within one year	361,840	361,787
Long-term debt	2,675,000	2,652,457

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that a company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve this principle, a company must apply five steps including identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when (or as) the company satisfies the performance obligations. Additional quantitative and qualitative disclosure to enhance the understanding about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows is also required. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, "Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing." ASU 2016-10 clarifies the following two aspects of ASU 2014-09: identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance. The effective date of ASU 2016-10 is the same as the effective date of ASU 2014-09. The Company has not yet determined the effect that ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-10 will have on its financial statements.

3. Earnings per share

The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.



	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
	2016		2015
Numerator:
Net income attributable to common shareholders	$	210,129	$	194,978
Denominator:
Basic - weighted average common shares	133,679,378		136,844,504
Increase in weighted average common shares from dilutive effect of equity-based awards	2,146,280		1,730,404
Diluted - weighted average common shares, assuming exercise of equity-based awards	135,825,658		138,574,908
Basic earnings per share	$	1.57	$	1.42
Diluted earnings per share	$	1.55	$	1.41

For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, 2,328,216 and 2,350,730 common shares subject to equity-based awards, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their exercise would be anti-dilutive.

4. Share repurchase program

The Company has a program to repurchase its common shares. On October 22, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an increase in the overall number of shares authorized for repurchase under the program so that, beginning on such date, the aggregate number of shares authorized for repurchase was 35 million. There is no limitation on the number of shares that can be repurchased in a fiscal year. Repurchases may be funded primarily from operating cash flows and commercial paper borrowings and the shares are initially held as treasury stock. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company repurchased 949,744 shares at an average price, including commissions, of $120.76 per share.

5. Trade accounts receivable, net

Trade accounts receivable are initially recorded at their net collectible amount and are generally recorded at the time the revenue from the sales transaction is recorded. Receivables are written off to bad debt primarily when, in the judgment of the Company, the receivable is deemed to be uncollectible due to the insolvency of the debtor. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $6,793 and $8,010 at September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively.

6. Non-trade and notes receivable

The non-trade and notes receivable caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheet is comprised of the following components:



	September 30, 2016		June 30, 2016
Notes receivable	$	90,284	$	102,400
Reverse repurchase agreements	50,000		—
Accounts receivable, other	110,236		129,783
Total	$	250,520	$	232,183

Reverse repurchase agreements are collateralized lending arrangements and have a maturity longer than three months from the date of purchase. The Company does not record an asset or liability for the collateral associated with the reverse repurchase agreements.

- 9 -

7. Inventories

The inventories caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheet is comprised of the following components:



	September 30, 2016		June 30, 2016
Finished products	$	481,618	$	458,657
Work in process	686,063		639,907
Raw materials	80,291		74,765
Total	$	1,247,972	$	1,173,329

8. Business realignment charges

The Company incurred business realignment charges in fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016.

Business realignment charges presented in the Business Segment Information are as follows:



	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
	2016		2015
Diversified Industrial	$	10,745	$	20,043
Aerospace Systems	—		1,745
Other expense	—		116

Work force reductions in connection with such business realignment charges in the Business Segment Information are as follows:



	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
	2016	2015
Diversified Industrial	173	1,164
Aerospace Systems	—	57

The charges primarily consist of severance costs related to actions taken under the Company's Simplification initiative aimed at reducing organizational and process complexity, as well as plant closures, with the majority of the charges incurred in Europe. The Company believes the realignment actions will positively impact future results of operations but will not have a material effect on liquidity and sources and uses of capital.

The business realignment charges are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Income as follows:



	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
	2016		2015
Cost of sales	$	8,020	$	14,673
Selling, general and administrative expenses	2,725		7,115
Other (income), net	—		116

As of September 30, 2016, approximately $3 million in severance payments had been made relating to charges incurred during fiscal 2017, the remainder of which are expected to be paid by September 30, 2017. Severance payments relating to prior-year actions are being made as required. Remaining severance payments related to current-year and prior-year actions of approximately $35 million are primarily reflected within the other accrued liabilities caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additional charges may be recognized in future periods related to the realignment actions described above, the timing and amount of which are not known at this time.

10. Goodwill and intangible assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended September 30, 2016 are as follows:



	Diversified Industrial Segment		Aerospace Systems Segment		Total
Balance at June 30, 2016	$	2,804,403	$	98,634	$	2,903,037

10. Goodwill and intangible assets, cont'd

Intangible assets are amortized on the straight-line method over their legal or estimated useful lives. The following summarizes the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for each major category of intangible assets:



	September 30, 2016				June 30, 2016
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization
Patents	$	151,845	$	99,007	$	150,914	$	95,961
Trademarks	340,429		183,227		340,805		179,156
Customer lists and other	1,366,705		674,806		1,362,521		656,552
Total	$	1,858,979	$	957,040	$	1,854,240	$	931,669

Total intangible amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $26,083. The estimated amortization expense for the five years ending June 30, 2017 through 2021 is $96,161, $92,189, $85,385, $78,582 and $70,549, respectively.

Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by their use over their expected useful lives and eventual disposition may be less than their net carrying value. No such events or circumstances occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2016.

11. Retirement benefits

Net pension benefit cost recognized included the following components:



	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
	2016			2015
Service cost	$	24,223		$	24,113
Interest cost	31,496			46,071
Expected return on plan assets	(57,617		)	(55,649		)
Amortization of prior service cost	1,716			2,069
Amortization of net actuarial loss	51,427			42,969
Amortization of initial net obligation	5			4
Net pension benefit cost	$	51,250		$	59,577

During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $1,116 and $1,087, respectively, in expense related to other postretirement benefits.

Beginning in fiscal 2017, the Company changed the method used to estimate the service and interest cost components of net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs. The new method uses the spot yield curve approach to estimate the service and interest costs by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used to determine the benefit obligations to relevant cash outflows. Previously, these costs were determined using a single-weighted average discount rate. The change does not affect the measurement of the Company's benefit obligations. The new method provides a more precise measure of service and interest costs by improving the correlation between projected benefit cash flows and the discrete spot yield curve rates and is accounted for as a change in estimate prospectively beginning the first quarter of fiscal 2017. As a result of the method change, net pension benefit cost for the current-year quarter is approximately $8 million lower than the prior-year quarter.

12. Income taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The Company is open to assessment of its federal income tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years after 2011, and its state and local returns for fiscal years after 2006. The Company is also open to assessment for foreign jurisdictions for fiscal years after 2007. Unrecognized tax benefits reflect the difference between positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns and the amounts reflected in the financial statements.

- 13 -

12. Income taxes, cont'd

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $141,471. The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $82,416. If recognized, a significant portion of the gross unrecognized tax benefits would be offset against an asset currently recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The accrued interest related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluded from the amounts above, is $13,409. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits could be reduced by up to approximately $100,000 as a result of the revaluation of existing uncertain tax positions arising from developments in the examination process or the closure of tax statutes. Any increase in the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months is expected to be insignificant.

13. Financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and other investments, accounts receivable and long-term investments as well as obligations under accounts payable, trade, notes payable and long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, trade and notes payable approximate fair value.

Marketable securities and other investments include deposits, which are recorded at cost, and investments classified as available-for-sale, which are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss). Gross unrealized gains and losses were not material as of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016. All of the available-for-sale investments in an unrealized loss position have been in that position for less than 12 months. There were no facts or circumstances that indicated the unrealized losses were other than temporary.

The contractual maturities of available-for-sale investments at September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016 are as follows:



	September 30, 2016				June 30, 2016
	Amortized Cost		Fair Value		Amortized Cost		Fair Value
Less than one year	$	15,993	$	16,013	$	29,960	$	29,990
One to three years	152,602		153,095		144,100		144,625
Above three years	54,167		54,419		34,276		34,275

Actual maturities of available-for-sale investments may differ from their contractual maturities as the Company has the ability to liquidate the available-for-sale investments after giving appropriate notice to the issuer.

The carrying value of long-term debt and estimated fair value of long-term debt are as follows:



	September 30, 2016		June 30, 2016
Carrying value of long-term debt	$	2,734,220	$	2,733,140
Estimated fair value of long-term debt	3,112,093		3,133,989

The fair value of long-term debt was determined based on observable market prices in the active market in which the security is traded and is classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company utilizes derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, including forward exchange contracts, costless collar contracts, cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign denominated debt designated as net investment hedges, to manage foreign currency transaction and translation risk. The derivative financial instrument contracts are with major investment grade financial institutions and the Company does not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the counterparties. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Company’s Euro bonds, which matured in November 2015, and Japanese Yen credit facility have each been designated as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. The translation of the Euro bonds and Japanese Yen credit facility into U.S. dollars is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) and remains there until the underlying net investment is sold or substantially liquidated.

Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value.

- 14 -

13. Financial instruments, cont'd

The following summarizes the location and fair value of significant derivative financial instruments reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016:



	Balance Sheet Caption	September 30, 2016		June 30, 2016
Net investment hedges
Cross-currency swap contracts	Other assets	$	18,530	$	24,771
Cash flow hedges
Costless collar contracts	Other accrued liabilities	6,361		8,368

The cross-currency swap and costless collar contracts are reflected on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has not entered into any master netting arrangements.

Gains or losses on derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through the cost of sales caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Gains or losses on derivatives that are hedges are adjusted to fair value through accumulated other comprehensive (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

Cross-currency swap contracts have been designated as hedging instruments. Costless collar contracts have not been designated as hedging instruments and are considered to be economic hedges of forecasted transactions.

Gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments that were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were not material.

Gains (losses) on derivative and non-derivative financial instruments that were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are as follows:



	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
	2016			2015
Cross-currency swap contracts	$	(6,241	)	$	3,163
Foreign denominated debt	(673		)	(1,134		)

There was no ineffectiveness of the cross-currency swap contracts or foreign denominated debt, nor was any portion of these financial instruments excluded from the effectiveness testing, during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

A summary of financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016 are as follows:



			Quoted Prices		Significant Other		Significant
	Fair		In Active		Observable		Unobservable

Liabilities:
Derivatives	13,028		—		13,028		—

The fair values of the equity securities, government bonds, corporate bonds and asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are determined using the closing market price reported in the active market in which the fund is traded or the market price for similar assets that are traded in an active market.

Derivatives consist of forward exchange, costless collar and cross-currency swap contracts, the fair values of which are calculated using market observable inputs including both spot and forward prices for the same underlying currencies. The calculation of fair value of the cross-currency swap contracts also utilizes a present value cash flow model that has been adjusted to reflect the credit risk of either the Company or the counterparty.

Investments measured at net asset value primarily consist of investments in fixed income mutual funds, which are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. These investments have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The Company has the ability to liquidate these investments after giving appropriate notice to the issuer.

The primary investment objective for all investments is the preservation of principal and liquidity while earning income.

There are no other financial assets or financial liabilities that are marked to market on a recurring basis. Fair values are transferred between levels of the fair value hierarchy when facts and circumstances indicate that a change in the method of estimating the fair value of a financial asset or financial liability is warranted.

PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION

FORM 10-Q

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016

AND COMPARABLE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015

OVERVIEW

The Company is a leading worldwide diversified manufacturer of motion and control technologies and systems, providing precision engineered solutions for a wide variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets.

The Company’s order rates provide a near-term perspective of the Company’s outlook particularly when viewed in the context of prior and future order rates. The Company publishes its order rates on a quarterly basis. The lead time between the time an order is received and revenue is realized generally ranges from one day to 12 weeks for mobile and industrial orders and from one day to 18 months for aerospace orders. The Company believes the leading economic indicators of these markets that have a strong correlation to the Company’s future order rates are as follows:


•	Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) on manufacturing activity specific to regions around the world with respect to most mobile and industrial markets;


•	Global aircraft miles flown and global revenue passenger miles for commercial aerospace markets and Department of Defense spending for military aerospace markets; and


•	Housing starts with respect to the North American residential air conditioning market and certain mobile construction markets.

A PMI above 50 indicates that the manufacturing activity specific to a region of the world in the mobile and industrial markets is expanding. A PMI below 50 indicates the opposite. Recent PMI levels for some regions around the world were as follows:



	September 30, 2016	June 30, 2016
United States	51.5	53.2
Eurozone countries	52.6	52.8
China	50.1	48.6
Brazil	46.0	43.2

Global aircraft miles flown and revenue passenger miles have both increased approximately six percent from their comparable fiscal 2016 levels. The Company anticipates that U.S. Department of Defense spending with regard to appropriations and operations and maintenance for the U.S. Government’s fiscal year 2017 will be approximately one percent higher than the comparable fiscal 2016 level.

Housing starts in September 2016 were approximately 12 percent lower than housing starts in both September 2015 and June 2016.

The Company remains focused on maintaining its financial strength by adjusting its cost structure to reflect changing demand levels, maintaining a strong balance sheet and managing its cash. The Company has been able to borrow funds at affordable interest rates and had a debt to debt-shareholders’ equity ratio of 41.3 percent at September 30, 2016 compared to 39.9 percent at June 30, 2016 and 40.9 percent at September 30, 2015.

The Company believes many opportunities for profitable growth are available. The Company intends to focus primarily on business opportunities in the areas of energy, water, food, environment, defense, life sciences, infrastructure and transportation.

- 17 -

The Company believes it can meet its strategic objectives by:


•	Serving the customer and continuously enhancing its experience with the Company;


•	Successfully executing its Win Strategy initiatives relating to premier customer service, financial performance and profitable growth;


•	Maintaining its decentralized division and sales company structure;


•	Fostering a safety first and entrepreneurial culture;


•	Engineering innovative systems and products to provide superior customer value through improved service, efficiency and productivity;


•	Delivering products, systems and services that have demonstrable savings to customers and are priced by the value they deliver;


•	Acquiring strategic businesses;


•	Organizing around targeted regions, technologies and markets;


•	Driving efficiency by implementing lean enterprise principles; and


•	Creating a culture of empowerment through its values, inclusion and diversity, accountability and teamwork.

Acquisitions will be considered from time to time to the extent there is a strong strategic fit while at the same time, maintaining the Company’s strong financial position. In addition, the Company will continue to assess its existing businesses and initiate efforts to divest businesses that are not considered to be a good long-term strategic fit for the Company. Future business divestitures could have a negative effect on the Company’s results of operations.

The discussion below is structured to separately discuss the Consolidated Statement of Income, Results by Business Segment, Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME



	Three Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2016			2015
Net sales	$	2,743.1		$	2,869.3
Gross profit	$	637.1		$	668.4
Gross profit margin	23.2		%	23.3		%
Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	323.0		$	370.2
Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percent of sales	11.8		%	12.9		%
Interest expense	$	34.1		$	35.8
Other (income), net	$	(12.2	)	$	(13.2	)
Effective tax rate	28.1		%	29.2		%
Net income	$	210.2		$	195.0
Net income, as a percent of sales	7.7		%	6.8		%

Net sales for the current-year quarter decreased from the comparable prior-year period primarily due to lower sales in the Diversified Industrial Segment. The effect of currency rate changes decreased net sales by approximately $4 million in the current-year quarter, most of which was attributable to the Diversified Industrial North American businesses. Acquisitions made in the last 12 months contributed approximately $9 million in the current-year quarter .

Gross profit margin remained relatively unchanged from the prior-year quarter, as lower operating expenses resulting from the Company's Simplification initiative and prior-year restructuring activities, primarily experienced in the Diversified Industrial Segment, were offset by lower margins in the Aerospace Systems Segment. Foreign currency transaction gain (loss) (primarily relating to cash, marketable securities and other investments and intercompany transactions) included in cost of sales for the current-year quarter and prior-year quarter were $(5.0) million and $5.3 million, respectively. Pension cost included in cost of sales for the current-year quarter and prior-year quarter were $33.9 million and $41.2 million, respectively. Cost of sales for the current-year quarter and prior-year quarter also included business realignment charges of $8.0 million and $14.7 million, respectively.

- 18 -

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased for the current-year quarter primarily due to lower selling expenses resulting from the decrease in sales, lower expenses resulting from the Company's Simplification initiative and lower net expenses associated with the Company's deferred compensation programs. Pension cost included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the current-year quarter and prior-year quarter was $16.7 million and $19.7 million, respectively. Business realignment charges included in selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.7 million and $7.1 million for the current-year quarter and prior-year quarter, respectively.

Interest expense for the current-year quarter decreased from the prior-year quarter primarily due to a lower weighted-average interest rate for the Company's debt portfolio.

Other (income), net in the current-year quarter and the prior-year quarter includes income of $8.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively, related to equity method investments.

Effective tax rate for the first three months of fiscal 2017 was lower than the comparable prior-year period primarily due to an increase in the U.S. Research and Development tax credit and a decrease in estimated tax related to international activities. These benefits are partially offset by a net increase in discrete tax costs. The Company expects the effective tax rate for fiscal 2017 will be approximately 28.5 percent.

RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

Diversified Industrial Segment



	Three Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2016			2015
Net sales
North America	$	1,167.0		$	1,286.3
International	1,014.9			1,038.4
Operating income
North America	200.6			212.7
International	$	137.2		$	129.3
Operating margin
North America	17.2		%	16.5		%
International	13.5		%	12.5		%
Backlog	$	1,470.5		$	1,455.6

The Diversified Industrial Segment operations experienced the following percentage changes in net sales in the current-year period versus the comparable prior-year period:



	Three Months Ended September 30, 2016
Diversified Industrial North America – as reported	(9.3	)%
Acquisitions	—	%
Currency	(0.3	)%
Diversified Industrial North America – without acquisitions and currency	(9.0	)%

Diversified Industrial International – as reported	(2.3	)%
Acquisitions	0.9	%
Currency	—	%
Diversified Industrial International – without acquisitions and currency	(3.2	)%

Total Diversified Industrial Segment – as reported	(6.2	)%
Acquisitions	0.4	%
Currency	(0.2	)%
Total Diversified Industrial Segment – without acquisitions and currency	(6.4	)%

- 19 -

The above presentation reconciles the percentage changes in net sales of the Diversified Industrial Segment reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP to percentage changes in net sales adjusted to remove the effects of acquisitions made within the prior four fiscal quarters as well as the effects of currency exchange rates (a non-GAAP measure). The effects of acquisitions and currency exchange rates are removed to allow investors and the Company to meaningfully evaluate the percentage changes in net sales on a comparable basis from period to period.

Excluding the effects of acquisitions and changes in currency exchange rates, Diversified Industrial North American sales decreased for the current-year quarter primarily due to lower demand from both distributors and end-users in most markets. The markets that experienced the largest decline in end-user demand were the heavy truck, oil and gas, construction equipment and cars and light truck markets. Excluding the effects of acquisitions and changes in currency exchange rates, Diversified Industrial International sales for the current-year quarter decreased primarily due to lower volume in Europe, partially offset by higher volume in the Asia Pacific region and Latin America. Within Europe, the largest decrease in sales during the current-year quarter was experienced from both distributors and end-users in the industrial machinery, oil and gas, and marine markets. Within the Asia Pacific region and Latin America, end-users in the construction equipment, industrial machinery and semiconductor markets contributed to the increase in sales during the quarter, partially offset by a decrease in demand from distributors.

The increase in operating margins in both the Diversified Industrial North American and Diversified International businesses for the current-year quarter was primarily due to lower operating expenses resulting from prior-year restructuring activities and the Company's Simplification initiative, partially offset by the impact of the lower sales volume, resulting in manufacturing inefficiencies, and current-year restructuring expenses.

The following business realignment expenses are included in Diversified Industrial North America and Diversified Industrial International operating income:



	Three Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2016		2015
Diversified Industrial North America	$	3.7	$	8.1
Diversified Industrial International	7.0		11.9

The business realignment charges primarily consist of severance costs related to actions taken under the Company's Simplification initiative implemented by operating units throughout the world as well as plant closures. The majority of the Diversified Industrial International business realignment charges were incurred in Europe. The Company does not anticipate that cost savings realized from the work force reduction measures taken during the first three months of fiscal 2017 will have a material impact on future operating income. The Company expects to continue to take the actions necessary to structure appropriately the operations of the Diversified Industrial Segment. Such actions are expected to result in approximately $36 million of additional business realignment charges in the remainder of fiscal 2017.

Diversified Industrial Segment backlog increased from the prior-year quarter and from the June 30, 2016 amount of $1,455.3 million as orders exceeded shipments in the International businesses, partially offset by shipments exceeding orders in the North American businesses. Backlog in Europe represented approximately 85 percent and 60 percent of the increase in the International businesses from the prior-year quarter and from June 30, 2016, respectively. Backlog consists of written firm orders from a customer to deliver products and, in the case of blanket purchase orders, only includes the portion of the order for which a schedule or release date has been agreed to with the customer. The dollar value of backlog is equal to the amount that is expected to be billed to the customer and reported as a sale. The Company anticipates Diversified Industrial North American sales for fiscal 2017 will decrease between five percent and one percent and Diversified Industrial International sales for fiscal 2017 will increase between one percent and six percent from their fiscal 2016 levels. Diversified Industrial North American operating margins in fiscal 2017 are expected to range from 16.9 percent to 17.3 percent and Diversified Industrial International operating margins in fiscal 2017 are expected to range from 12.4 percent to 12.8 percent.

Aerospace Systems Segment



	Three Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2016			2015
Net sales	$	561.2		$	544.6
Operating income	$	73.3		$	74.0
Operating margin	13.1		%	13.6		%
Backlog	$	1,694.0		$	1,701.6

The increase in net sales in the Aerospace Systems Segment for the current-year quarter was due to higher volume in the commercial and military original equipment manufacturer (OEM) businesses and commercial aftermarket business, partially offset by lower volume in the military aftermarket business. The lower operating margin in the current-year quarter was primarily due to an unfavorable product mix and higher engineering and development expenses, partially offset by lower operating expenses. Operating margins in the current-year quarter were also lower as the prior-year quarter margin benefited from favorable contract settlements.

The decrease in backlog from the prior-year quarter is due to shipments exceeding orders in the commercial OEM business, partially offset by orders exceeding shipments in the military OEM business and commercial and military aftermarket businesses. The decrease in backlog from the June 30, 2016 amount of $1,761.7 million was primarily due to shipments exceeding orders in the commercial and military OEM businesses and commercial aftermarket business, partially offset by orders exceeding shipments in the military aftermarket business. Backlog consists of written firm orders from a customer to deliver products and, in the case of blanket purchase orders, only includes the portion of the order for which a schedule or release date has been agreed to with the customer. The dollar value of backlog is equal to the amount that is expected to be billed to the customer and reported as a sale. For fiscal 2017, sales are expected to increase between one percent and three percent from the fiscal 2016 level and operating margins are expected to range from 14.8 percent to 15.2 percent. A higher concentration of commercial OEM volume in future product mix and higher than expected new product development costs could result in lower margins.

Corporate general and administrative expenses

Corporate general and administrative expenses were $31.0 million in the current-year quarter compared to $53.1 million in the comparable prior-year quarter. As a percent of sales, corporate general and administrative expenses decreased to 1.1 percent in the current-year quarter from 1.8 percent in the prior-year quarter. The lower expense in the current-year quarter is primarily due to lower net expenses associated with the Company's deferred compensation programs.

Other expense (in the Results By Business Segment) included the following:



(dollars in millions)	Three Months Ended September 30,
Expense (income)	2016			2015
Foreign currency transaction	$	5.0		$	(5.3	)
Stock-based compensation	26.5			24.4
Pensions	21.5			30.0
Divestitures and asset sales and writedowns	(0.5		)	(0.7		)
Other items, net	1.2			3.2
	$	53.7		$	51.6

Foreign currency transaction primarily relates to the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on cash, marketable securities and other investments and intercompany transactions. The lower pension expense in the current-year quarter is primarily due to the use of the spot yield curve approach to estimate the interest cost component of net periodic pension cost. Previously, this cost component of net periodic pension cost was estimated using a single-weighted average discount rate.

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET



(dollars in millions)	September 30, 2016		June 30, 2016
Cash	$	2,140.6	$	2,104.0
Trade accounts receivable, net	1,498.4		1,593.9
Inventories	1,248.0		1,173.3
Notes payable and long-term debt payable within one year	596.0		361.8
Shareholders’ equity	4,647.3		4,575.3
Working capital	$	2,787.6	$	2,841.9
Current ratio	2.12		2.20

Cash (comprised of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and other investments) includes $2,102 million and $2,065 million held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries at September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively. Generally, cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and other investments held by foreign subsidiaries are not readily available for use in the United States without adverse tax consequences. The Company's principal sources of liquidity are its cash flows provided by operating activities, commercial paper borrowings or borrowings directly from its line of credit. The Company does not believe the amount of cash held outside the U.S. will have an adverse effect on working capital needs, planned growth, repayment of maturing debt, benefit plan funding, dividend payments or share repurchases.

Trade accounts receivable, net are receivables due from customers for sales of product. Days sales outstanding relating to trade accounts receivable was 50 days at September 30, 2016 and 49 days at June 30, 2016. The Company believes that its receivables are collectible and appropriate allowances for doubtful accounts have been recorded.

Inventories as of September 30, 2016 increased $75 million (which includes an increase of $3 million from the effect of foreign currency translation and an increase of $7 million from current-year acquisitions) compared to June 30, 2016. The increase in inventories was in both the Diversified Industrial Segment and Aerospace Systems Segment, with almost one-half of the increase occurring in the Diversified Industrial International businesses and the balance of the increase occurring evenly between the Diversified Industrial North American businesses and the Aerospace Systems Segment. Days' supply of inventory was 71 days at September 30, 2016, 62 days at June 30, 2016 and 72 days at September 30, 2015.

Notes payable and long-term debt payable within one year as of September 30, 2016 increased from the June 30, 2016 amount due primarily to higher commercial paper notes outstanding. The Company from time to time will utilize short-term intercompany loans to repay commercial paper borrowings. At times, the short-term intercompany loans are outstanding at the end of a fiscal quarter.

Shareholders’ equity activity during the current-year quarter included a decrease of approximately $115 million as a result of share repurchases.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS



	Three Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2016			2015
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	113.9		$	19.9
Investing activities	45.2			(201.4		)
Financing activities	15.5			(0.6		)
Effect of exchange rates	(2.4		)	(24.2		)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	172.2		$	(206.3	)

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the current-year quarter was higher than the prior-year quarter primarily due to higher net income and a decrease in cash used for working capital items. The Company continues to focus on managing its inventory and other working capital requirements. Cash flows provided by operating activities includes voluntary cash

- 22 -

contributions made to the Company's domestic qualified pension plan of $220 million and $200 million in the current-year quarter and prior-year quarter, respectively.

Cash flows used in investing activities was lower in the current-year quarter due primarily to a decrease in both marketable securities and other investments activity and acquisition activity.

Cash flows used in financing activities in the current-year quarter includes $233 million of net commercial paper borrowings versus $407 million of net commercial paper borrowings in prior-year quarter. Cash flows used in financing activities included repurchase activity under the Company's share repurchase program. The Company repurchased 0.9 million common shares for $115 million in the current-year quarter as compared to the repurchase of 2.8 million common shares for $310 million in the prior-year quarter.

The Company’s goal is to maintain no less than an “A” rating on senior debt to ensure availability and reasonable cost of external funds. As a means of achieving this objective, the Company has established a financial goal of maintaining a ratio of debt to debt-shareholders’ equity of no more than 37 percent. From time to time, such as at September 30, 2016 and at June 30, 2016, fluctuations in cash flows from operations or capital deployment actions may cause the ratio of debt to debt-shareholders' equity to exceed the 37 percent goal. The Company does not believe that its ability to borrow funds at affordable interest rates will be impacted if the debt to debt-shareholders' ratio temporarily exceeds the 37 percent goal.



(dollars in millions) Debt to Debt-Shareholders’ Equity Ratio	September 30, 2016			June 30, 2016
Debt (excluding debt issuance costs)	$	3,271		$	3,037
Debt & Shareholders’ equity	$	7,918		$	7,612
Ratio	41.3		%	39.9		%

At September 30, 2016, the Company had a line of credit totaling $2,000 million through a multi-currency revolving credit agreement with a group of banks, $1,463 million of which was available. In October 2016, the Company amended the credit agreement extending the expiration date to October 2021 and retaining the right to request a one-year extension of the expiration date on an annual basis, which request may result in changes to the current terms and conditions of the credit agreement. Advances from the credit agreement can be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and for the refinancing of existing indebtedness. The credit agreement requires the payment of an annual facility fee, the amount of which may increase in the event the Company’s credit ratings are lowered. Although a lowering of the Company’s credit ratings would likely increase the cost of future debt, it would not limit the Company’s ability to use the credit agreement nor would it accelerate the repayment of any outstanding borrowings.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company was authorized to sell up to $1,850 million of short-term commercial paper notes. As of September 30, 2016, $537 million commercial paper notes were outstanding and the largest amount of commercial paper notes outstanding during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was $603 million.

The Company’s credit agreements and indentures governing certain debt securities contain various covenants, the violation of which would limit or preclude the use of the credit agreements for future borrowings, or might accelerate the maturity of the related outstanding borrowings covered by the indentures. Based on the Company’s rating level at September 30, 2016, the most restrictive financial covenant provides that the ratio of secured debt to net tangible assets be less than 10 percent. However, the Company currently does not have secured debt in its debt portfolio. The Company is in compliance with all covenants and expects to remain in compliance during the term of the credit agreements and indentures.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company manages foreign currency transaction and translation risk by utilizing derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, including forward exchange contracts, costless collar contracts, cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign denominated debt designated as net investment hedges. The derivative financial instrument contracts are with major investment grade financial institutions and the Company does not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the counterparties. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Further information on the fair value of these contracts is provided in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Gains or losses on derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through the Consolidated Statement of Income. Gains or losses on derivatives that are hedges are adjusted to fair value through accumulated other comprehensive (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The translation of the foreign denominated debt that has been designated as a net investment hedge is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) and remains there until the underlying net investment is sold or substantially liquidated.

The Company’s debt portfolio contains variable rate debt, inherently exposing the Company to interest rate risk. The Company’s objective is to maintain a 60/40 mix between fixed rate and variable rate debt thereby limiting its exposure to changes in near-term interest rates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2016. Based on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2016, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings. Parker ITR S.r.l. (Parker ITR), a subsidiary acquired on January 31, 2002, has been the subject of a number of lawsuits and regulatory investigations. The lawsuits and investigations relate to allegations that for a period of up to 21 years, the Parker ITR business unit that manufactures and sells marine hose, typically used in oil transfer, conspired with competitors in unreasonable restraint of trade to artificially raise, fix, maintain or stabilize prices, rig bids and allocate markets and customers for marine oil and gas hose in the United States and in other jurisdictions. Parker ITR and the Company cooperated with all of the regulatory authorities investigating the activities of the Parker ITR business unit that manufactures and sells marine hose. All investigations and lawsuits have concluded, including the following matter.

On May 15, 2007, the European Commission issued its initial Request for Information to the Company and Parker ITR. On January 28, 2009, the European Commission announced the results of its investigation of the alleged cartel activities. As part of its decision, the European Commission found that Parker ITR infringed Article 81 of the European Community Treaty from April 1986 to May 2, 2007 and fined Parker ITR 25.61 million euros. The European Commission also determined that the Company was jointly and severally responsible for 8.32 million euros of the total fine which related to the period from January 2002, when the Company acquired Parker ITR, to May 2, 2007, when the cartel activities ceased. Parker ITR and the Company filed an appeal to the General Court of the European Union on April 10, 2009. On May 12, 2013, the court reversed in part the decision of the European Commission, reducing the original fine of 25.61 million euros to 6.40 million euros and holding that the Company and Parker ITR are jointly and severally liable for payment of the fine up to 6.30 million euros. The European Commission appealed the ruling to the European Court of Justice. On December 18, 2014, the European Court of Justice reversed the ruling of the General Court and referred the case back to the General Court. On July 14, 2016, the General Court reduced the fine from 25.61 million euros to 19.95 million euros. The European Commission decided not to appeal this judgment and in October 2016 the Company and Parker ITR were reimbursed the reduction in the principal amount plus interest, which totaled 5.98 million euros.
