PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "Company", "Parker", "we" or "us" refer to Parker-Hannifin Corporation and its subsidiaries.

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 March 31, 2020, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 and cash flows for the nine months then ended. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2019 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 outbreak of novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") around the world has created significant uncertainty in the global economic environment. While the recent outbreak of COVID-19 did not have a material adverse effect on our reported results for our fiscal third quarter, we are actively monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, which we expect will negatively impact our business and results of operations for our fiscal fourth quarter and beyond. The ultimate extent to which our business and results of operations will be impacted by the outbreak will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted at this time, including among other things, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak or mitigate its economic, public health and other impacts.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events that occurred through the date these financial statements were issued. There were no other events that occurred that required adjustment to or disclosure in these financial statements.

2. New accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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 within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We have not yet determined the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on our financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases." ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to put most leases with terms greater than 12 months 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. We adopted ASU 2016-02 on July 1, 2019 using the optional transition method and have not restated prior periods. We elected to use the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allows the carry forward of historical lease classification of existing leases. Upon adoption, we recorded a right-of-use asset and lease liability of approximately $126 million. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Statement of Income or Cash Flows.

3. Revenue recognition

Revenue is derived primarily from the sale of products in a variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets. A majority of the Company’s revenues are recognized at a point in time. However, a portion of the Company’s revenues are recognized over time.

Diversified Industrial Segment revenues by technology platform:



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

Latin America	37,789		44,298		116,907		132,266
Total	$	3,702,432	$	3,687,518	$	10,534,917	$	10,638,857

The majority of revenues from the Aerospace Systems Segment are generated from sales to customers within North America.

Contract balances

Contract assets and contract liabilities are reported on a contract-by-contract basis. Contract assets reflect revenue recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance under the contract. Payments from customers are received based on the terms established in the contract with the customer.

- 8 -

Total contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows:



	March 31, 2020			June 30, 2019
Contract assets, current (included within Prepaid expenses and other)	$	27,793		$	22,726
Contract assets, noncurrent (included within Investments and other assets)	1,476			1,301
Total contract assets	29,269			24,027
Contract liabilities, current (included within Other accrued liabilities)	(66,374		)	(64,668		)
Contract liabilities, noncurrent (included within Other liabilities)	(3,438		)	(421		)
Total contract liabilities	(69,812		)	(65,089		)
Net contract liabilities	$	(40,543	)	$	(41,062	)

At March 31, 2020, the change in net contract liabilities was primarily due to timing differences between when revenue was recognized and the receipt of advance payments. During the nine months ended March 31, 2020, approximately $29 million of revenue was recognized that was included in the contract liabilities at June 30, 2019.

Remaining performance obligations

Our backlog represents 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 has been agreed to with the customer. We believe our backlog represents our unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations. Backlog at March 31, 2020 was $5,543 million, of which approximately 87 percent is expected to be recognized as revenue within the next 12 months and the balance thereafter.

4. Acquisitions

On October 29, 2019, we completed the acquisition of a 100 percent equity interest in LORD Corporation ("Lord") for approximately $3,455 million in cash, including the assumption of debt. On September 16, 2019, we completed the acquisition of a 100 percent equity interest in EMFCO Holdings Incorporated, parent company of Exotic Metals Forming Company LLC ("Exotic") for approximately $1,706 million in cash.

Lord is a diversified technology and manufacturing company developing highly reliable adhesives and coatings, as well as vibration and motion control technologies, that significantly reduce risk and improve product performance. Lord’s products are used in mission-critical applications in the aerospace, automotive and industrial markets. Lord had annual sales of approximately $1,025 million for its fiscal 2018. For segment reporting purposes, approximately 95 percent of Lord's sales are included in the Diversified Industrial Segment, while the remaining five percent are included in the Aerospace Systems Segment. Lord’s unique and proprietary products, solutions and technologies for mission-critical applications are expected to increase the Company's overall engineered materials product and solutions offerings to enable a stronger value proposition for customers.

Exotic designs and manufactures innovative and technically demanding, high temperature, high pressure air and exhaust management solutions for aircraft and engines. Exotic had annual sales of approximately $409 million for its fiscal 2019.

For segment reporting purposes, Exotic is included in the Aerospace Systems Segment. We believe Exotic's products and proprietary manufacturing capabilities are complementary to our portfolio of flight control, fuel and inerting, hydraulics, fluid conveyance and engine components.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The process of estimating the fair values of certain tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities requires the use of judgment in determining the appropriate assumptions and estimates. The following presents the preliminary estimated fair values of Lord and Exotic's assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the respective acquisition dates. These preliminary estimates are based on available information and will be revised during the measurement period, not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date, as third-party valuations are finalized, additional information becomes available and as additional analysis is performed. Such revisions may have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position within the measurement period. During the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020, these revisions, which primarily impacted intangible assets, goodwill, deferred income taxes, other liabilities, and plant and equipment, did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired. With respect to the Lord and Exotic acquisitions, goodwill represents cost synergies and enhancements to our existing technologies. For tax purposes, Lord's goodwill is not deductible and Exotic's goodwill is deductible. Based upon a preliminary acquisition valuation, intangibles acquired as part of the Exotic acquisition include $502,470 of customer-related intangible assets, $281,400 of patents and technology and $90,600 of trademarks, with weighted average estimated useful lives of 18, 20 and 20 years, respectively. Similarly, the Lord acquisition includes $872,390 of customer-related intangible assets, $458,030 of patents and technology and $119,440 of trademarks, with weighted average estimated useful lives of 13, 21 and 20 years, respectively.

Our consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Lord and Exotic from their respective acquisition dates through March 31, 2020. Net sales attributable to these acquisitions during this period and included in our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 total $343,400 and $650,588, respectively. Segment operating income (loss) attributable to these acquisitions during this period and included in our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 total $15,550 and $(4,270), respectively.

Acquisition-related transaction costs totaled $114,777 for fiscal 2020. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

5. Earnings per share

The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	March 31,				March 31,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Numerator:
Net income attributable to common shareholders	$	367,253	$	411,248	$	910,625	$	1,098,696
Denominator:
Basic - weighted average common shares	128,289,720		128,706,137		128,383,549		130,476,355
Increase in weighted average common shares from dilutive effect of equity-based awards	1,456,827		2,178,831		1,479,266		2,022,021
Diluted - weighted average common shares, assuming exercise of equity-based awards	129,746,547		130,884,968		129,862,815		132,498,376
Basic earnings per share	$	2.86	$	3.20	$	7.09	$	8.42
Diluted earnings per share	$	2.83	$	3.14	$	7.01	$	8.29

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 753,028 and 833,239 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. For the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 516,067 and 925,721 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.

6. 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. There is no expiration date for this program. Repurchases may be funded primarily from operating cash flows and commercial paper borrowings and the shares are initially held as treasury shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased 263,200 shares at an average price, including commissions, of $177.69 per share. During the nine months ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased 818,581 shares at an average price, including commissions, of $179.29 per share. In March 2020, the Company suspended the share repurchase program in response to business uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

7. 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 $11,190 and $8,874 at March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.

8. Non-trade and notes receivable

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

Raw materials	281,327		164,286
Total	$	2,011,367	$	1,678,132

10. Leases

We primarily enter into lease agreements for office space, distribution centers, certain manufacturing facilities and equipment. The majority of our leases are operating leases. Finance leases are immaterial to our financial statements. In addition, leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Certain leases contain options that provide us with the ability to extend the lease term. Such options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. When accounting for leases, we combine payments for leased assets, related services and other components of a lease. Payments within certain lease agreements are adjusted periodically for changes in an index or rate.

The discount rate implicit within our leases is generally not determinable and therefore we determine the discount rate based on our incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate for our leases is determined based on lease term and the currency in which lease payments are made.

The components of lease expense are as follows:



	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	March 31, 2020		March 31, 2020
Operating lease expense	$	13,218	$	38,048

11. Business realignment and acquisition integration charges

We incurred business realignment and acquisition integration charges in fiscal 2020 and 2019. The business realignment 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. The prior-year acquisition integration charges relate to the fiscal 2017 acquisition of CLARCOR, Inc. ("Clarcor") and primarily consist of severance costs and expenses related to plant closures and relocations. A majority of the business realignment charges were incurred in North America and Europe. We believe 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.

Business realignment and Clarcor acquisition integration charges presented in the Business Segment Information are as follows:



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	March 31,				March 31,
	2020		2019		2020		2019

Selling, general and administrative expenses	3,203		1,795		6,738		9,667
Other (income), net	50		—		50		275

During the first nine months of fiscal 2020, approximately $25 million in payments were made relating to business realignment and Clarcor acquisition integration charges. Remaining payments related to current-year and prior-year business realignment and acquisition integration actions of approximately $14 million, a majority of which are expected to be paid by March 31, 2021, 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 business realignment described above, the timing and amount of which are not known at this time.

We also incurred the following acquisition integration charges related to the Lord and Exotic acquisitions:



	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	March 31,		March 31,
	2020		2020
Diversified Industrial	$	8,364	$	18,503

13. Goodwill and intangible assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 are as follows:



	Diversified Industrial Segment			Aerospace Systems Segment			Total
Balance at June 30, 2019	$	5,355,165		$	98,640		$	5,453,805

The acquisitions line represents the goodwill allocation during the measurement period subsequent to the applicable acquisition date. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually and between annual tests whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value. At December 31, 2019, the Company performed its fiscal 2020 annual goodwill impairment test, which indicated no impairment existed. We did not identify any events or circumstances during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 that required performance of an interim impairment test. However, the effects of COVID-19 on the global economy, including further market disruption, lack of economic recovery or lower than anticipated customer demand, may require the performance of an interim impairment test in future periods.

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:



	March 31, 2020				June 30, 2019
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization
Patents and technology	$	990,716	$	149,247	$	265,644	$	130,233

Total	$	5,523,585	$	1,641,758	$	3,243,678	$	1,460,401

Total intangible amortization expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 was $203,895. The estimated amortization expense for the five years ending June 30, 2020 through 2024 is $276,591, $313,434, $307,402, $296,337 and $290,718, 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 material intangible asset impairments occurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2020.

14. Retirement benefits

Net pension benefit expense recognized included the following components:



	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	March 31,						March 31,

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $169 and $114, respectively, in expense related to other postretirement benefits. During the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $1,136 and $1,395, respectively, in expense related to other postretirement benefits. Components of retirement benefits expense, other than service cost, are included in other (income), net in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

15. Debt

In September 2019, the Company entered into and fully drew against a term loan with an aggregate principal amount of $925 million, which will mature in its entirety in September 2023. We used the proceeds to finance a portion of the purchase of the Exotic acquisition. In October 2019, we fully drew against the $800 million term loan, which will mature in its entirety in October 2022. We used the proceeds to finance a portion of the purchase of the Lord acquisition. At March 31, 2020, both term loans had an interest rate of LIBOR plus 112.5 bps. Interest payments are due quarterly.

In September 2019, we also amended and extended our existing multi-currency credit agreement, increasing its capacity to $2,500 million. The amended and extended credit agreement expires in September 2024. Commercial paper notes outstanding at March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019 were $949 million and $586 million, respectively. Based on the Company’s rating level at March 31, 2020, the most restrictive financial covenant provides that the ratio of debt to debt-shareholders' equity cannot exceed .65 to 1.0. At March 31, 2020, our debt to debt-shareholders' equity ratio was .59 to 1.0. We are in compliance with all covenants set forth in the credit agreement and indentures.

16. Income taxes

On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), a significant tax-and-spending package intended to provide economic stimulus to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the Company continues to examine the impacts the CARES Act may have on its business, it does not expect it will have a material impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 2013, and its state and local returns for fiscal years after 2013. The Company is also open to assessment for foreign jurisdictions for fiscal years after 2009. 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.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $81,717, all of which, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. The accrued interest related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluded from the amount above, is $14,425. During the current-year quarter, the Company recorded the settlement of an examination with a foreign jurisdiction that resulted in a $74,057 decrease to the unrecognized tax benefit recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits could be reduced by up to approximately $40,000 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.

17. Financial instruments

Our 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 and equity investments. Deposits are recorded at cost, and equity investments are recorded at fair value. Changes in fair value related to equity investments are recorded in net income.

Gross unrealized gains and losses related to equity investments were not material as of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019. There were no facts or circumstances that indicated the unrealized losses were other than temporary.

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



	March 31, 2020		June 30, 2019
Carrying value of long-term debt	$	8,257,273	$	6,596,380
Estimated fair value of long-term debt	8,417,616		7,012,641

The fair value of long-term debt is classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

We utilize 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 we do not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the counterparties. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Company’s €700 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2025 have been designated as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. The translation of the Senior Notes due 2025 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.

- 18 -

The location and fair value of derivative financial instruments reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are as follows:



	Balance Sheet Caption	March 31, 2020		June 30, 2019
Net investment hedges
Cross-currency swap contracts	Non-trade and notes receivable	$	39,497	$	—
Cross-currency swap contracts	Investments and other assets	—		24,545
Cash flow hedges
Forward exchange contracts	Non-trade and notes receivable	13,160		13,242
Forward exchange contracts	Other accrued liabilities	50,271		2,578
Costless collar contracts	Non-trade and notes receivable	6,559		457
Costless collar contracts	Other accrued liabilities	1,839		1,934

The cross-currency swap, forward exchange contracts and costless collar contracts are reflected on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. We have 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.

The cross-currency swap contracts have been designated as hedging instruments. The forward exchange and costless collar contracts have not been designated as hedging instruments and are considered to be economic hedges of forecasted transactions.

Net (losses) of $(48) million and net unrealized gains of $14 million relating to forward exchange contracts were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. All other gains or losses on derivative financial instruments that were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were not material.

Gains 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				Nine Months Ended
	March 31,				March 31,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Cross-currency swap contracts	$	5,821	$	6,748	$	12,372	$	14,367
Foreign denominated debt	9,574		13,287		17,898		24,558

No portion of these financial instruments were excluded from the effectiveness testing during the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Investments measured at net asset value	9,728
Liabilities:
Derivatives	4,512		—		4,512		—

The fair values of the equity securities are determined using the closing market price reported in the active market in which the fund is traded.

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 the 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. We have 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.

PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION

FORM 10-Q

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020

AND COMPARABLE PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2019

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.

Our 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. We believe 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 U.S. 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:



	March 31, 2020	June 30, 2019	March 31, 2019
United States	49.1	50.6	55.3
Eurozone countries	44.5	47.6	47.5
China	50.1	49.4	50.8
Brazil	48.4	51.0	52.8

As of March 31, 2020, global aircraft miles flown decreased by approximately three percent and available revenue passenger miles decreased by approximately five percent from their comparable fiscal 2019 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 2020 will be approximately two percent higher than the comparable fiscal 2019 level.

Housing starts in March 2020 were approximately one percent higher than housing starts in March 2019 and approximately three percent lower than housing starts in June 2019, respectively.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the recent outbreak of novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") a pandemic. Given the unpredictable nature of COVID-19's impact on the global economy, the statistics included above may not be reflective of recent or future activity.

While the COVID-19 outbreak did not have a material adverse effect on our reported results for our fiscal third quarter, we are actively monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, which we expect will negatively impact our business and results of operations for our fiscal fourth quarter and beyond. For example, April 2020 orders are expected to be significantly down across the Company when compared to April 2019 orders. Disruption within the aerospace industry, which is facing the consequences of travel restrictions and considerably lower demand, is expected to be significant. The extent to which our business and results of operations will be impacted by the outbreak will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted at this time, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak or mitigate its economic, public health and other impacts.

- 21 -

We have taken immediate and aggressive action to minimize the spread of COVID-19 in our workplaces and are taking measures to preserve cash and reduce costs, including but not limited to, global salary reductions, reduced work schedules, elimination of discretionary spending, targeted restructuring and reducing capital expenditures. At the same time, we are appropriately addressing the ongoing needs of our business so that we may continue to serve our customers.

In the long-term, we believe 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. We believe we can meet our strategic objectives by:


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


•	Successfully executing The Win Strategy initiatives relating to engaged people, premier customer experience, profitable growth and financial performance;


•	Maintaining a 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 our 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. During October 2019, we completed the acquisition of LORD Corporation ("Lord") for approximately $3,455 million in cash, including the assumption of debt. We also completed the acquisition of EMFCO Holdings Incorporated, parent company of Exotic Metals Forming Company LLC ("Exotic") for approximately $1,706 million in cash during September 2019. Refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the acquisitions.

We continue to assess our existing businesses and may 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, Business Segment Information, Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "Company", "Parker", "we" or "us" refer to Parker-Hannifin Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Net sales for the current-year quarter remained flat compared to the prior-year quarter and decreased slightly during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to the same prior-year period. Lower volume in the Diversified Industrial North American and International businesses and unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates were offset by an increase in sales related to acquisitions. Acquisitions made in the last 12 months contributed approximately $343 million and $651 million in net sales during the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020, respectively. The effect of currency rate changes decreased net sales by approximately $56 million in the current-year quarter, which was primarily comprised of a $50 million decrease in the Diversified Industrial International businesses. During the first nine months of fiscal 2020, the effect of currency rate changes decreased net sales by approximately $123 million ($115 million of which was attributable to the Diversified Industrial International businesses).

Gross profit margin (calculated as net sales minus cost of sales, divided by net sales) increased slightly in the current-year quarter as a decrease in gross profit margin in both the Aerospace Systems Segment and the Diversified Industrial International businesses was more than offset by an increase in the Diversified Industrial North American businesses and a net foreign currency transaction gain of $20 million in the current-year quarter. Gross profit margin decreased slightly during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 due to lower gross profit margin in the Diversified Industrial North American and International businesses and the Aerospace Systems Segment, partially offset by a net foreign currency transaction gain of $13 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020. Acquisition-related expenses of $18 million and $69 million decreased gross profit margin in the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020, respectively. Cost of sales for the current-year quarter and prior-year quarter included business realignment and acquisition integration charges of $11 million and $3 million, respectively, and $22 million and $11 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased during the current-year quarter primarily due to an increase in intangible asset amortization expense related to the Lord and Exotic acquisitions and higher net expense associated with our deferred compensation programs as unfavorable market fluctuations related to investments associated with these programs were partially offset by favorable changes in the related liabilities. SG&A in the current-year quarter benefited from lower research and development spending. During the first nine months of fiscal 2020, SG&A increased primarily due to acquisition-related transaction costs of $115 million and an increase in intangible asset amortization expense associated with the current-year acquisitions. During the first nine months of fiscal 2020, SG&A benefited from lower research and development expense and favorable market fluctuations in deferred compensation program liabilities, partially offset by unfavorable changes in the associated investments. SG&A included business realignment and acquisition integration charges of $12 million and $2 million for the current-year and prior-year quarter, respectively, and $26 million and $10 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Interest expense for the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020 increased from the comparable prior-year periods primarily due to higher average debt outstanding.

Other (income), net included the following:



(dollars in millions)	Three Months Ended March 31,						Nine Months Ended March 31,
Expense (income)	2020			2019			2020			2019
Income related to equity method investments	$	(23	)	$	(22	)	$	(67	)	$	(68	)
Non-service components of retirement benefit cost	11			9			36			28

Other items, net	3			(2		)	(9		)	8
	$	(13	)	$	(18	)	$	(74	)	$	(38	)

Effective tax rates for the current-year quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 2020 were lower than the comparable prior-year periods primarily due to an overall increase in discrete tax benefits primarily related to a favorable resolution of a foreign examination in the current-year quarter and stock-based awards for the first nine months of fiscal 2020.

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



	Period Ending March 31, 2020
	Three Months		Nine Months
Diversified Industrial North America – as reported	1.4	%	(0.9	)%
Acquisitions	8.9	%	5.4	%
Currency	(0.4	)%	—	%
Diversified Industrial North America – without acquisitions and currency	(7.1	)%	(6.3	)%

Diversified Industrial International – as reported	(8.0	)%	(8.9	)%
Acquisitions	6.2	%	3.6	%
Currency	(4.0	)%	(3.1	)%
Diversified Industrial International – without acquisitions and currency	(10.2	)%	(9.4	)%

Total Diversified Industrial Segment – as reported	(2.6	)%	(4.3	)%
Acquisitions	7.7	%	4.7	%
Currency	(1.8	)%	(1.4	)%
Total Diversified Industrial Segment – without acquisitions and currency	(8.5	)%	(7.6	)%

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 last 12 months as well as 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.

Sales in the Diversified Industrial North American businesses increased 1.4 percent during the current-year quarter and decreased 0.9 percent during the first nine months of fiscal 2020. The effect of acquisitions increased sales by approximately $155 million and $275 million in the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020, respectively. The effect of currency exchange rates did not have a significant impact on sales in the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020. Excluding the effects of acquisitions and changes in the currency exchange rates, Diversified Industrial North American sales for the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020 decreased primarily due to lower demand from distributors and end users in virtually all markets, including the construction equipment, engines, heavy-duty truck, cars and light truck, farm and agriculture, general industrial machinery and oil and gas markets.

Sales in the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020 for the Diversified Industrial International operations decreased 8.0 percent and 8.9 percent from the prior-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively. The effect of acquisitions increased sales by approximately $79 million and $135 million in the current-year quarter and first nine months

of fiscal 2020, respectively. The effect of currency exchange rates decreased sales by approximately $50 million and $115 million from the prior-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively. Excluding the effects of acquisitions and changes in currency exchange rates, Diversified Industrial International sales for the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020 decreased primarily due to lower demand from distributors and end users in both the mobile and industrial markets. During both the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020, Europe and the Asia Pacific region accounted for approximately 56 percent and 42 percent, respectively, of the decrease in sales, while Latin America contributed the remainder of the change.

Within Europe, the decrease in sales for both the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to lower demand from distributors and end users in the general industrial machinery, construction equipment, machine tool, heavy-duty truck and material handling markets.

Within the Asia Pacific region, the decrease in current-year quarter sales and first nine months of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to lower demand from distributors and end users in the construction equipment, railroad equipment, telecommunications and industrial machinery markets. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in end-user demand in the mining, oil and gas and semiconductor markets. The impact of COVID-19 on business conditions in the Asia Pacific region also contributed to lower sales in the current-year quarter.

The decrease in sales in Latin America for the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to lower demand from distributors and end users in the construction equipment and material handling markets, partially offset by an increase in end-user demand in the oil and gas market.

Diversified Industrial Segment operating margins within the North American businesses decreased in the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020 primarily due to lower sales volume, acquisition-related expenses, higher intangible asset amortization expense and higher restructuring and acquisition integration charges, partially offset by benefits from simplification, restructuring and acquisition integration activities, favorable product mix, prior-year pricing actions and lower raw material costs.

Diversified Industrial Segment operating margins within the International businesses decreased in the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020 primarily due to lower sales volume, acquisition-related expenses, higher intangible asset amortization expense and higher restructuring and acquisition integration charges. Benefits from simplification, restructuring and acquisition integration activities, prior-year pricing actions and favorable product mix partially offset the decrease in margins.

The following business realignment and acquisition integration charges are included in Diversified Industrial North American and Diversified Industrial International operating income:



	Three Months Ended March 31,				Nine Months Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2020		2019		2020		2019
Diversified Industrial North America	$	10	$	2	$	23	$	10
Diversified Industrial International	12		3		23		10

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. Current-year acquisition integration charges relate to the Lord acquisition. Prior-year acquisition integration charges relate to the fiscal 2017 acquisition of CLARCOR Inc. ("Clarcor"). Business realignment and acquisition integration charges within the Diversified Industrial International businesses were primarily incurred in Europe. We believe the cost savings realized from the workforce reduction measures taken during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 will positively impact our operating income. We expect to continue to take actions necessary to integrate acquisitions and structure appropriately the operations of the Diversified Industrial Segment, especially in light of the rapidly changing business conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. We currently anticipate incurring approximately $25 million of additional business realignment and acquisition integration charges in the remainder of fiscal 2020, a majority of which relates to actions taken in response to business conditions resulting from COVID-19. However, continually changing business conditions could impact the ultimate costs we incur.

Diversified Industrial Segment backlog as of March 31, 2020 increased from the prior-year quarter primarily due to the addition of the Lord backlog in the current fiscal year and orders exceeding shipments in the International businesses, partially offset by shipments exceeding orders in the North American businesses. Within the International businesses, orders exceeding shipments in the Asia Pacific region were partially offset by shipments exceeding orders in Europe and Latin America.

- 25 -

As of March 31, 2020, Diversified Industrial Segment backlog increased compared to the June 30, 2019 amount of $2,011 million primarily due to the addition of Lord backlog during the current fiscal year. Excluding the impact of Lord, backlog in the Diversified Industrial Segment remained flat as as shipments exceeding orders in the North American businesses were offset by orders exceeding shipments in the International businesses. Within the International businesses, the Asia Pacific region and Europe accounted for approximately 85 percent and 15 percent of the increase, 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.

Aerospace Systems Segment



	Three Months Ended March 31,						Nine Months Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2020			2019			2020			2019
Net sales	$	745		$	652		$	2,111		$	1,833
Operating income	$	127		$	135		$	371		$	366
Operating margin	17.1		%	20.7		%	17.6		%	20.0		%
Backlog	$	3,159		$	2,134		$	3,159		$	2,134

The increase in net sales in the Aerospace Systems Segment for the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to acquisitions, which contributed approximately $109 million and $241 million in net sales during the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020, respectively. In the current-year quarter, the increase in net sales from acquisitions and higher volume in the military and commercial aftermarket businesses was partially offset by lower volume in the commercial and military original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") businesses. During the first nine months of fiscal 2020, net sales benefited from higher volume in the commercial and military aftermarket and military OEM businesses, partially offset by lower volume in the commercial OEM business. Net sales in the current-year quarter were negatively impacted by the halt in production of the Boeing 737 MAX in January 2020, while the first nine months of fiscal 2020 were impacted by both the production rate reduction and production halt of the aircraft.

Operating margin decreased during the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to the prior-year periods primarily due to acquisition-related expenses, acquisition integration charges and higher intangible amortization expense. Higher engineering development expenses in the current-year quarter and the halt in production of the Boeing 737 MAX also contributed to lower operating margin. Operating margin benefited from higher military and commercial aftermarket volume in both the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020 and favorable OEM product mix during the first nine months of fiscal 2020.

As a result of the rapidly changing business conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect to take the actions necessary to structure appropriately the operations of the Aerospace Systems Segment. These actions are expected to result in approximately $27 million of additional business realignment charges in the remainder of fiscal 2020. However, continually changing business conditions could impact the ultimate costs we incur.

The increase in backlog from both the prior-year quarter and June 30, 2019 amount of $2,209 million is primarily due to the addition of the Exotic backlog in the first nine months of fiscal 2020. Orders exceeding shipments in the military and commercial OEM and military and commercial aftermarket businesses also contributed to the increase in backlog from the prior-year quarter and June 30, 2019 amounts. While orders exceeded shipments in all businesses, they were heavily weighted to the military businesses during the current-year quarter. 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.

Corporate general and administrative expenses

Corporate general and administrative expenses were $48 million for the current-year quarter compared to $33 million in the prior-year quarter and were $133 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to $147 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2019. Corporate general and administrative expenses were 1.3 percent of sales in both the current year-quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to 0.9 percent and 1.4 percent of sales in the prior-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively. Corporate general and administrative expenses increased in the current-year quarter primarily due to higher net expense associated with the Company's deferred compensation programs. Unfavorable market fluctuations related to investments associated with these programs were partially offset by favorable changes in the related liabilities. During the first nine months of fiscal 2020, corporate general and administrative expenses benefited from favorable market fluctuations in deferred compensation program liabilities, partially offset by unfavorable changes in the associated investments. The current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020 also experienced lower research and development spending.

Other expense (in the Business Segment Information) included the following:

The Company has determined it will no longer permanently reinvest certain foreign earnings. The distribution of these earnings could result in non-federal U.S. or foreign taxes. All other undistributed foreign earnings remain permanently reinvested.

Inventories as of March 31, 2020 increased by $333 million (which includes an increase of $363 million from acquisitions and a decrease of $38 million from the effect of foreign currency translation). After consideration of the effects of acquisitions and foreign currency translation, inventories increased primarily due to an increase in the Aerospace Systems Segment, partially offset by a decrease in the Diversified Industrial Segment. Days supply of inventory on hand was 83 days at March 31, 2020, 69 days at June 30, 2019 and 71 days at March 31, 2019.

Intangible assets, net and Goodwill increased from prior year-end primarily due to the current-year acquisitions of Lord and Exotic. Refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Notes payable and long-term debt payable within one year increased from prior year-end primarily due to higher commercial paper notes outstanding of which a portion was used to finance the purchase of the Lord and Exotic acquisitions.

Long-term debt increased by $1,577 million primarily due to outstanding term loans related to the acquisition of Lord and Exotic. Refer to Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Shareholders’ equity activity during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 included decreases of approximately $147 million and $233 million as a result of share repurchases and foreign currency translation, respectively.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS



	Nine Months Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2020			2019
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	1,291		$	1,093
Investing activities	(5,045		)	(116		)
Financing activities	1,273			(690		)
Effect of exchange rates	(41		)	(10		)
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(2,522	)	$	277

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 was higher than the first nine months of fiscal 2019 due to an increase in cash provided by working capital items. In addition, the first nine months of fiscal 2019 includes a $200 million discretionary pension contribution. We continue to focus on managing our inventory and other working capital requirements.

Cash flows used in investing activities increased primarily due to acquisition activity in the first nine months of fiscal 2020. It also includes $121 million of proceeds from the redemption of company-owned life insurance investments associated with the Company's deferred compensation programs during the current-year quarter.

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 includes net commercial paper borrowings of $362 million compared to $479 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019. Cash flows from financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 also includes proceeds from the $925 million and $800 million term loans related to the acquisition of Exotic and Lord, respectively. Refer to Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Our goal is to maintain a strong investment-grade credit profile. The rating agencies periodically update our credit ratings as events occur. At March 31, 2020, the long-term credit ratings assigned to the Company's senior debt securities by the credit rating agencies engaged by the Company were as follows:



Fitch Ratings		BBB+
Moody's Investor Services, Inc.		Baa1
Standard & Poor's		BBB+

During the current-year quarter, we have taken several meaningful measures to strengthen our liquidity position in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, including limiting capital expenditures to safety-related issues and strategic investments, the suspension of our share repurchase program and other cost reduction efforts. Although we can not reasonably estimate the duration of the pandemic or its impact on our business, we believe these measures, as well as access to committed credit under our credit agreement, position the Company well to manage through the current economic uncertainty and capitalize on our position as the global leader in motion and control technologies as the economy recovers.

During September 2019, the Company amended and extended its existing multi-currency credit agreement, increasing its capacity to $2,500 million. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $1,551 million available for borrowing under the credit agreement. The credit agreement expires in September 2024; however, the Company has 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 is dependent upon the Company’s credit ratings. Although a lowering of the Company’s credit ratings would 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 March 31, 2020, the Company was authorized to sell up to $2,500 million of short-term commercial paper notes. As of March 31, 2020, $949 million of commercial paper notes were outstanding, and the largest amount of commercial paper notes outstanding during the current-year quarter was $1,537 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 March 31, 2020, the most restrictive financial covenant provides that the ratio of debt to debt-shareholders' equity cannot exceed .65 to 1.0. At March 31, 2020, the Company's debt to debt-shareholders' equity ratio was .59 to 1.0. We are in compliance and expect to remain in compliance with all covenants set forth in the credit agreement and indentures.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in Part II, Item 7 of our fiscal 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as follows:

Impairment of Goodwill - Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually and between annual tests whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value. At December 31, 2019, the Company performed its fiscal 2020 annual goodwill impairment test for each of its six reporting units, which are equivalent to its operating segments. The results of this test indicated that the fair value substantially exceeded carrying value for all reporting units.

Additionally, we did not identify any events or circumstances during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 that required performance of an interim impairment test. However, the affects of COVID-19 on the global economy, including further market disruption, lack of economic recovery or lower than anticipated customer demand, may require the performance of an interim impairment test in future periods.

Forward-Looking Statements

Forward-looking statements contained in this and other written and oral reports are made based on known events and circumstances at the time of release, and as such, are subject in the future to unforeseen uncertainties and risks. All statements regarding future performance, earnings projections, events or developments are forward-looking statements. It is possible that the future performance and earnings projections of the Company, including its individual segments, may differ materially from current expectations, depending on economic conditions within its mobile, industrial and aerospace markets, and the Company's ability to maintain and achieve anticipated benefits associated with announced realignment activities, strategic initiatives to improve operating margins, actions taken to combat the effects of the current economic environment, and growth, innovation and global diversification initiatives. Additionally, the actual impact of changes in tax laws in the United States and foreign jurisdictions and any judicial or regulatory interpretations thereof on future performance and earnings projections may impact the Company's tax calculations. A change in the economic conditions in individual markets may have a particularly volatile effect on segment performance.

Among other factors which may affect future performance are:

•

global economic and political factors, including the impact of the global outbreak of COVID-19 and governmental and other actions taken in response, manufacturing activity, air travel trends, currency exchange rates and monetary policy, trade policy and tariffs, difficulties entering new markets and general economic conditions such as inflation, deflation, interest rates and credit availability, as well as uncertainties associated with the timing and conditions surrounding the return to service of the Boeing 737 MAX;

•

our ability to identify acceptable strategic acquisition targets; uncertainties surrounding timing, successful completion or integration of acquisitions and similar transactions, including the integrations of Clarcor, Lord and EMFCO Holdings Incorporated, parent company of Exotic; and our ability to successfully divest businesses planned for divestiture and realize the anticipated benefits of such divestitures;


•	our ability to effectively manage expanded operations from the acquisitions of Clarcor, Lord and Exotic;


•	the determination to undertake business realignment activities and the expected costs thereof and, if undertaken, the ability to complete such activities and realize the anticipated cost savings from such activities;


•	increased cybersecurity threats and sophisticated computer crime;


•	business relationships with and purchases by or from major customers, suppliers or distributors, including delays or cancellations in shipments;


•	the development of new products and technologies requiring substantial investment;


•	availability, limitations or cost increases of raw materials, component products and/or commodities that cannot be recovered in product pricing;


•	disputes regarding contract terms or significant changes in financial condition, changes in contract cost and revenue estimates for new development programs, and changes in product mix;


•	uncertainties surrounding the ultimate resolution of outstanding legal and regulatory proceedings, including the outcome of any appeals;


•	additional liabilities relating to changes in tax rates or exposure to additional income tax liabilities;


•	potential product liability risks;


•	our ability to enter into, own, renew and maintain intellectual property and know-how;


•	our leverage and future debt service obligations;


•	potential impairment of goodwill;


•	compliance costs associated with environmental laws and climate change regulations;


•	our ability to manage costs related to insurance and employee retirement and health care benefits;


•	compliance with federal rules, regulations, audits and investigations associated with being a provider of products to the United States government; and


•	our ability to implement successfully the Company's capital allocation initiatives, including timing, price and execution of share repurchases.

The Company makes these statements as of the date of this disclosure and undertakes no obligation to update them unless otherwise required by law.

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 we do not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the counterparties. We do 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 17 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. Our objective is to maintain a 60/40 mix between fixed rate and variable rate debt thereby limiting our exposure to changes in near-term interest rates.

As discussed elsewhere in this report, we expect the recent outbreak of COVID-19 to negatively impact our business and results of operations in the future. As we cannot predict the duration or scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, the negative financial impact to our results cannot be reasonably estimated, but could be material.

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 March 31, 2020. Based on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our team members began working from home during the third quarter of fiscal 2020. We are continually monitoring and assessing the changing business environment resulting from COVID-19 on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness. Management has taken measures to ensure that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting remained effective and were not materially affected during this period.

The Company acquired Lord and Exotic during October 2019 and September 2019, respectively, and is currently integrating their processes and internal controls. Except for the Lord and Exotic acquisitions, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.

The following disclosure modifies the discussion of certain risks and uncertainties previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the other risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019. The impact of COVID-19 may also exacerbate any of these risks, which could have a material effect on us.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our operations and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

The COVID-19 pandemic, along with the response to the pandemic by governmental and other actors, has disrupted our operations and is expected to continue to negatively impact our operations in the future, which impact may be material. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, mandatory and voluntary facility closures in certain jurisdictions in which we operate. Furthermore, several of our customers have temporarily suspended operations and we have experienced less demand for our products. Disruptions to our customers in the aerospace industry, which is facing the consequences of travel restrictions and severely diminished demand, have been and are expected to continue to be especially acute. Additionally, the COVID-19 outbreak has, and could further, disrupt our supply chain. Facility closures or other restrictions, as well as supply chain disruptions, could materially adversely affect our ability to adequately staff, supply or otherwise maintain our operations. Moreover, because a large number of our employees have transitioned to working from home, we may be subject to increased vulnerability to cyber and other information technology risks. We have modified, and may further modify, our business practices in response to the risks and negative impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there can be no assurance that these measures will be temporary or successful.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and its ultimate duration, severity and disruption to our business, customers and supply chain, and the related financial impact to us, cannot be accurately forecasted at this time. Should such disruption continue for an extended period, the adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition could be more severe than previously anticipated. Additionally, continued weak economic conditions generally could result in impairment in value of our tangible or intangible assets. Furthermore, future public health crises are possible and could involve some or all of the risks discussed above.

On October 22, 2014, the Company publicly announced that the Board of Directors increased the overall maximum number of shares authorized for repurchase under the Company's share repurchase program, first announced on August 16, 1990, so that, beginning on October 22, 2014, the maximum aggregate number of shares authorized for repurchase was 35 million shares. There is no limitation on the amount of shares that can be repurchased in a fiscal year. There is no expiration date for this program. In March 2020, the Company suspended the share repurchase program in response to business uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
