PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts or as otherwise noted)

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 September 30, 2021, the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 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 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The future impacts of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and its residual effects, including economic uncertainty and disruption within the global supply chain, labor markets and aerospace industry, on our business remain uncertain. Therefore, accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time in response to the impacts of COVID-19. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events that occurred through the date these financial statements were issued. In connection with the proposed acquisition of Meggitt plc ("Meggitt"), the Company entered into deal-contingent forward contracts during October 2021 to mitigate the risk of appreciation in the GBP-denominated purchase price. The deal-contingent forward contracts have an aggregate notional amount of £6,415 million, and settlement is contingent upon closing the proposed acquisition.
During October 2021, we issued $2,126 million of commercial paper. We used the net proceeds and cash on hand to deposit a total of $2,272 million into the escrow account designated for the proposed acquisition. As of October 31, 2021, the balance of the escrow account is $2,487 million. After consideration of the increase in funds designated for the proposed acquisition and the deal-contingent forward contracts, the aggregate principal amount of the bridge credit agreement, dated August 2, 2021 (the "Bridge Credit Agreement") was decreased to £3,200 million.
2. 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.

Latin America47,731 33,655 
Total$3,762,809 $3,230,540 
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.
Total contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows:
September 30,
2021
June 30,
2021
Contract assets, current (included within Prepaid expenses and other)$25,936 $34,190 
Contract assets, noncurrent (included within Investments and other assets)2,471 1,884 
Total contract assets28,407 36,074 
Contract liabilities, current (included within Other accrued liabilities)(45,439)(51,211)
Contract liabilities, noncurrent (included within Other liabilities)(2,250)(3,080)
Total contract liabilities(47,689)(54,291)
Net contract liabilities$(19,282)$(18,217)
At September 30, 2021, 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 three months ended September 30, 2021, approximately $21 million of revenue was recognized that was included in the contract liabilities at June 30, 2021.
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 September 30, 2021 was $6,783 million, of which approximately 85 percent is expected to be recognized as revenue within the next 12 months and the balance thereafter.

3. Proposed Acquisition
On August 2, 2021, the Company announced that it reached an agreement on the terms of a recommended cash acquisition of the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Meggitt for 800 pence per share (the "Acquisition"), which is approximately £6,255 million based on issued share capital at September 30, 2021.

Meggitt is a leader in design, manufacturing and aftermarket support of technologically differentiated systems and equipment in aerospace, defense and selected energy markets with annual sales of approximately $2.3 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020. We intend to fund the proposed Acquisition with cash and new debt. Refer to Note 13 for further discussion. The proposed Acquisition remains subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory clearances. Acquisition-related transaction costs totaled $13 million for the current-year quarter. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Restricted Cash
At September 30, 2021, the Company held approximately $215 million of cash in an escrow account that was restricted for payments related to the proposed Acquisition, all of which was recorded within prepaid expenses and other in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
4. 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, 2021 and 2020.
Three Months Ended

Basic earnings per share$3.50 $2.48 
Diluted earnings per share$3.45 $2.45 
*Prior period has been adjusted to reflect the change in inventory accounting method, as described in the Company's fiscal 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, 165,732 and 530,438 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.
5. 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 September 30, 2021, we repurchased 767,600 shares at an average price, including commissions, of $300.07 per share.
6. 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. We evaluate the collectibility of our receivables based on historical experience and current and forecasted economic conditions based on management's judgment. Additionally, receivables are written off to bad debt when management makes a final determination of uncollectibility. Allowance for credit losses was $12 million at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021.

9. Business realignment and acquisition integration charges
We incurred business realignment and acquisition integration charges in the first three months of fiscal 2022 and 2021. In both the first three months of fiscal 2022 and 2021, business realignment charges included severance costs related to actions taken under the Company's simplification initiative aimed at reducing organizational and process complexity, as well as plant closures. During fiscal 2021, business realignment charges primarily consisted of actions taken to address the impact of COVID-19 on our business. 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.

During the first three months of fiscal 2022, approximately $9 million in payments were made relating to business realignment charges. Remaining payments related to business realignment actions of approximately $9 million, a majority of which are expected to be paid by June 30, 2022, 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 actions 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 fiscal 2020 acquisitions of LORD Corporation ("Lord") and Exotic Metals Forming Company ("Exotic"):

The estimated amortization expense for the five years ending June 30, 2022 through 2026 is $320 million, $305 million, $298 million, $288 million and $282 million, 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 three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

13. Debt
In connection with the proposed Acquisition of Meggitt, the Company entered into a Bridge Credit Agreement on August 2, 2021. Under the Bridge Credit Agreement, the lenders committed to provide senior, unsecured financing in the aggregate principal amount of £6,524 million at August 2, 2021. As permanent financing for the proposed Acquisition is secured, the principal amount of the Bridge Credit Agreement is reduced. At September 30, 2021, the aggregate principal amount was £5,100 million. Any borrowings made under the Bridge Credit Agreement would mature 364 days from the initial funding date. The commitments are intended to be drawn to finance the proposed Acquisition only to the extent that we do not arrange for alternative financing prior to closing. We incurred $39 million in financing fees related to the Bridge Credit Agreement, all of which was included in Other expense (income), net within the Consolidated Statement of Income.
On August 27, 2021, the Company entered into a credit agreement, which provides for a senior, unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $2,000 million (the “Term Loan Facility”). The proceeds of the Term Loan Facility, if drawn, will be used solely by the Company to finance a portion of the consideration of its proposed Acquisition and would mature in its entirety three years after the initial draw. Additionally, the provisions of the Term Loan Facility allow for prepayments at the Company's discretion.
During the first three months of fiscal 2022, we amended our existing multi-currency credit agreement, increasing its capacity to $3,000 million. There were no outstanding commercial paper notes as of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021. Based on the Company’s rating level at September 30, 2021, the most restrictive financial covenant provides that the ratio of debt to debt-shareholders' equity cannot exceed 0.65 to 1.0. At September 30, 2021, our debt to debt-shareholders' equity ratio was 0.44 to 1.0. We are in compliance, and expect to remain in compliance, with all covenants set forth in the credit agreements and indentures.
14. Income taxes
We file income tax returns in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. We are open to assessment on our U.S. federal income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years after 2013, and our state and local returns for fiscal years after 2016. We are also open to assessment for significant foreign jurisdictions for fiscal years after 2011. 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 September 30, 2021, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $99 million, 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 $18 million. 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 million 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.
15. 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. Unrealized gains and losses related to equity investments were not material as of September 30, 2021 and 2020.
The carrying value of long-term debt, which excludes the impact of net unamortized debt issuance costs, and estimated fair value of long-term debt are as follows:
September 30,
2021
June 30,
2021
Carrying value of long-term debt $6,625,692 $6,646,029 
Estimated fair value of long-term debt 7,406,724 7,527,268 
The fair value of long-term debt is classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
- 14 -

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

The cross-currency swap, forward exchange, and costless collar contracts are reflected on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. We have not entered into any master netting arrangements.
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.
Derivatives not designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value by recording gains and losses through the cost of sales caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Derivatives designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value by recording gains and losses through accumulated other comprehensive (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. We assess the effectiveness of the €69 million, €290 million and ¥2,149 million cross-currency swap hedging instruments using the spot method. Under this method, the periodic interest settlements are recognized directly in earnings through interest expense.
Net gains of $4 million and $20 million relating to forward exchange contracts were recorded within cost of sales in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. All other gains or losses on derivative financial instruments that were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were not material.

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

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.
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 MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
AND COMPARABLE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020

OVERVIEW
The Company is a global leader in motion and control technologies. For more than a century, the Company has engineered the success of its customers in a wide range of diversified industrial and aerospace markets.

By aligning around our purpose, Enabling Engineering Breakthroughs that Lead to a Better Tomorrow, Parker is better positioned for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.

The Win Strategy 3.0 is Parker's business system that defines the goals and initiatives that drive growth, transformation and success. It works with our purpose, which is a foundational element of The Win Strategy, to engage team members and create responsible and sustainable growth. Our shared values shape our culture and our interactions with stakeholders and the communities in which we operate and live.

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;
Enabling a sustainable future by providing innovative technology solutions that offer a positive, global environmental impact and operating responsibly by reducing our energy use and emissions;
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.

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.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. We continue to prioritize the safety of our team members. To minimize the spread of COVID-19 in our workplaces, we implemented heightened prevention, screening and hygiene protocols.
- 17 -

We are actively monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its residual effects, including economic uncertainty and disruption within the global supply chain, labor markets and aerospace industry, on our business. Despite disruption within the aerospace industry, including ongoing travel restrictions, commercial aerospace demand is beginning to recover. We are managing the challenging supply chain environment through our "local for local" manufacturing strategy, ongoing supplier management process, and broadened supply base. Additionally, we are strategically managing our workforce and discretionary spending. At the same time, we are appropriately addressing the ongoing needs of our business so that we may continue to serve our customers.
Over the long term, the extent to which our business and results of operations will be impacted by the pandemic and its residual effects depends on future developments that remain uncertain. These developments include distribution and continuing effectiveness of vaccines, the severity and spread of COVID-19 and its variants, mitigating actions by government authorities, and the duration of the supply chain and labor market constraints.
The discussion below is structured to separately discuss the Consolidated Statement of Income, Business Segment Information, and Liquidity and Capital Resources. 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.

*Prior period has been adjusted to reflect the change in inventory accounting method, as described in the Company's fiscal 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Net sales for the current-year quarter increased when compared to the prior-year quarter primarily due to higher volume in both segments. The effect of currency rate changes increased net sales by approximately $23 million, of which $15 million was attributable to the Diversified Industrial International businesses.

Gross profit margin (calculated as net sales minus cost of sales, divided by net sales) increased in the current-year quarter primarily due to higher margins in both the Aerospace Systems and Diversified Industrial Segments. These increases are primarily due to higher sales volume and benefits from continuous improvement initiatives, as well as price increases, partially offset by increased freight, material and labor costs, as well as production inefficiencies related to disruption within the global supply chain and labor markets. Gross profit margin in the current-year and prior-year quarter included net foreign currency transaction gains of $9 million and $5 million, respectively.
Cost of sales for the current-year and prior-year quarter also included business realignment and acquisition integration charges of $2 million and $12 million, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased during the current-year quarter primarily due to acquisition-related transaction costs of $13 million and increased discretionary spending. SG&A also included business realignment and acquisition integration charges of $3 million and $7 million for the current-year and prior-year quarter, respectively.
Interest expense for the current-year quarter decreased from the prior-year quarter primarily due to lower average debt outstanding.

Refer to Note 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Bridge Credit Agreement.

Effective tax rate for the current-year quarter was lower than the comparable prior-year period primarily due to an overall increase in discrete tax benefits. The fiscal 2022 effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 23 percent.

The effects of 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.
Net Sales
Diversified Industrial North America - Sales increased 17.4 percent during the current-year quarter compared to the same prior-year period. The effect of currency exchange rates increased sales by approximately $8 million in the current-year quarter. Excluding the effects of currency exchange rates, sales in the Diversified Industrial North American businesses increased 16.9 percent compared to prior-year levels primarily due to higher demand from distributors and end users across most markets, including the construction, heavy-duty truck, farm and agriculture, engines, refrigeration, life sciences and industrial machinery markets, partially offset by lower end-user demand in the oil and gas and cars and light truck markets.
Diversified Industrial International - Sales increased 21.9 percent during the current-year quarter compared to the same prior-year period. The effect of currency exchange rates increased sales by approximately $15 million in the current-year quarter. Excluding the effects of currency exchange rates, Diversified Industrial International sales for the current-year quarter increased 20.5 percent from prior-year levels. During the current-year quarter, Europe and the Asia Pacific region accounted for approximately 60 percent and 30 percent, respectively, of the increase in sales, while Latin America accounted for the remainder of the change.
Within Europe, sales in the current-year quarter increased primarily due to higher demand from distributors and end users across most markets, including the construction, mining, machine tool, industrial machinery, power generation, material handling, forestry, and cars and light truck markets, partially offset by lower end-user demand in the oil and gas and telecommunications markets.
Within the Asia Pacific region, sales in the current-year quarter increased primarily due to an increase in demand from distributors and end users across most markets, including the semiconductor, construction, industrial machinery, life sciences and refrigeration markets, partially offset by end-user demand in the engines and power generation markets.
Within Latin America, sales in the current-year quarter increased primarily due to higher demand from distributors and end users in various markets, including the farm and agriculture, construction, cars and light truck, and mining markets, partially offset by lower end-user demand in the life sciences market.
Operating Margin
Diversified Industrial Segment operating margin increased in the current-year quarter within both the North American and International businesses primarily due to higher sales volume and benefits from continuous improvement initiatives, as well as price increases. These increases were partially offset by increased operating costs, including higher freight, material, and labor costs, as well as production inefficiencies as result of a challenging supply chain environment and labor market. In addition, operating margin within the International businesses benefited from savings related to prior-year restructuring actions.

Business Realignment
The following business realignment and acquisition integration charges are included in Diversified Industrial North American and Diversified Industrial International operating income:
Three Months Ended
 September 30,
(dollars in millions)20212020
Diversified Industrial North America$$
Diversified Industrial International10 

In both fiscal 2022 and 2021, business realignment charges included severance costs related to actions taken under the Company's simplification initiative aimed at reducing organizational and process complexity, as well as plant closures. During fiscal 2021, business realignment charges primarily consisted of actions taken to address the impact of COVID-19 on our business. Acquisition integration charges relate to the fiscal 2020 acquisition of LORD Corporation ("Lord"). Business realignment and acquisition integration charges within the Diversified Industrial International businesses were primarily incurred in Europe.
We anticipate that cost savings realized from the workforce reduction measures taken in the first three months of fiscal 2022 will not materially impact operating income in fiscal 2022 or 2023. We expect to continue to take actions necessary to integrate acquisitions and structure appropriately the operations of the Diversified Industrial Segment. We currently anticipate incurring approximately $37 million of additional business realignment and acquisition integration charges in the remainder of fiscal 2022. However, continually changing business conditions could impact the ultimate costs we incur.
Backlog
Diversified Industrial Segment backlog as of September 30, 2021 increased from the prior-year quarter due to orders exceeding shipments in both the North American and International businesses. Backlog in the North American and International businesses accounted for approximately 60 percent and 40 percent of the change, respectively. Within the International businesses, Europe and the Asia Pacific region accounted for approximately 60 percent and 40 percent of the change, respectively.
As of September 30, 2021, Diversified Industrial Segment backlog increased compared to the June 30, 2021 amount of $3,239 million due to orders exceeding shipments in both the North American and International businesses. Backlog in the North American and International businesses accounted for approximately 80 percent and 20 percent of the change, respectively. Within the International businesses, the Asia Pacific region and Europe accounted for approximately 60 percent and 30 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.

Net Sales
Aerospace Systems Segment sales for the current-year quarter increased compared to the same prior-year period primarily due to higher volume in the commercial original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") and aftermarket businesses. This increase was partially offset by lower military OEM and aftermarket volume.
- 21 -

Operating Margin
Aerospace Systems Segment operating margin increased during the current-year quarter primarily due to higher sales volume, aftermarket profitability, and lower business realignment and engineering development expenses, partially offset by challenges created by the supply chain and labor markets.
Business Realignment
As the commercial aerospace markets are recovering, we do not intend to incur significant additional business realignment and acquisition integration charges in the remainder of fiscal 2022. However, continually changing business conditions could impact the ultimate costs we incur.
Backlog
Aerospace Systems Segment backlog as of September 30, 2021 increased from the prior-year quarter primarily due to orders exceeding shipments in the military and commercial OEM businesses, partially offset by shipments exceeding orders in the military and commercial aftermarket businesses.
As of September 30, 2021, Aerospace Systems Segment backlog decreased compared to the June 30, 2021 amount of $3,264 million primarily due to shipments exceeding orders in the military and commercial OEM businesses, partially offset by orders exceeding shipments in the commercial aftermarket business. Military aftermarket backlog remained flat when compared to June 30, 2021. 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We believe that we are great generators and deployers of cash. We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operations and meet our strategic capital deployment objectives, which include the following:
Continuing our record annual dividend increases
Investing in organic growth and productivity
Strategic acquisitions that strengthen our portfolio
Offset share dilution through 10b5-1 share repurchase program

Cash Flows

Net (decrease) increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$(40)$57 

Cash flows from operating activities for the first three months of fiscal 2022 were $424 million compared to $737 million for the first three months of fiscal 2021. This decrease of $313 million was primarily driven by increased working capital requirements of $362 million, partially offset by an increase in net income of $131 million in fiscal 2022 compared to the same prior-year period.
Days sales outstanding relating to trade accounts receivable was 51 days at September 30, 2021, 50 days at June 30, 2021 and 53 days at September 30, 2020.
Days supply of inventory on hand was 86 days at September 30, 2021, 75 days at June 30, 2021 and 88 days at September 30, 2020.
- 23 -

Cash flows from investing activities for the first three months of fiscal 2022 and 2021 were impacted by the following factors:
Net purchases of marketable securities of $2 million in fiscal 2022 compared to net maturities of marketable securities of $38 million in fiscal 2021.
Capital expenditures of $48 million in fiscal 2022 compared to $42 million in the same prior-year period.
Cash flows from financing activities for the first three months of fiscal 2022 and 2021 were impacted by the following factors:
Repurchases of 0.8 million common shares for $230 million during fiscal 2022.
Term loan repayments of $672 million in fiscal 2021.
Cash Requirements
We are actively monitoring our liquidity position and remain focused on managing our inventory and other working capital requirements. We are continuing to target two percent of sales for capital expenditures and are prioritizing those related to safety and strategic investments. We believe that cash generated from operations and our commercial paper program will satisfy our operating needs for the foreseeable future.
Dividends
We declared a quarterly dividend of $1.03 per share on August 12, 2021, which was paid on September 10, 2021. Dividends have been paid for 285 consecutive quarters, including a yearly increase in dividends for the last 65 years. Additionally, we declared a quarterly dividend of $1.03 on October 27, 2021, payable on December 3, 2021.
Share Repurchases
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 to 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 year. Repurchases may be funded primarily from operating cash flows and commercial paper borrowings and the shares are initially held as treasury shares. Refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of share repurchases.
Liquidity
Cash, comprised of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and other investments, includes $413 million and $467 million held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The Company does not 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.
We are currently authorized to sell up to $3,000 million of short-term commercial paper notes. There were no outstanding commercial paper notes as of September 30, 2021, and the largest amount of commercial paper notes outstanding during the current-year quarter was $91 million. During October 2021, we issued $2,126 million of commercial paper. Refer to the Strategic Acquisitions section below for further discussion.
The Company has a line of credit through a multi-currency revolving credit agreement with a group of banks. During August 2021, we amended the existing credit agreement, increasing its capacity from $2,500 million to $3,000 million, by exercising the accordion feature. At September 30, 2021, $3,000 million was available. Advances from the credit agreement can be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and for the refinancing of existing indebtedness. The credit agreement supports our commercial paper program, and issuances of commercial paper reduce the amount of credit available under the 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 may result in changes to the current terms and conditions of the credit agreement. 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. Refer to Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
We primarily utilize unsecured medium-term notes and senior notes to meet our financing needs and we expect to continue to borrow funds at reasonable rates over the long term. Refer to the Cash flows from financing activities section above and Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

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, 2021, the most restrictive financial covenant provides that the ratio of debt to debt-shareholders' equity cannot exceed 0.65 to 1.0. At September 30, 2021, the Company's debt to debt-shareholders' equity ratio was 0.44 to 1.0. We are in compliance and expect to remain in compliance with all covenants set forth in the credit agreement and indentures.
Our goal is to maintain an investment-grade credit profile. The rating agencies periodically update our credit ratings as events occur. At September 30, 2021, 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 RatingsBBB+
Moody's Investors Services, Inc.Baa1
Standard & Poor'sBBB+
Strategic Acquisitions
On August 2, 2021, the Company announced that it reached an agreement on the terms of a recommended cash acquisition of the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Meggitt for 800 pence per share, or approximately £6,255 million based on issued share capital at September 30, 2021. We intend to fund the proposed acquisition with cash and new debt. The proposed acquisition remains subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory clearances.
In connection with the proposed acquisition, the Company entered into a Bridge Credit Agreement on August 2, 2021. Under the Bridge Credit Agreement, the lenders committed to provide senior, unsecured financing in the aggregate principal amount of £6,524 million at August 2, 2021. As permanent financing for the proposed acquisition is secured, the principal amount of the Bridge Credit Agreement is reduced. At September 30, 2021, the aggregate principal amount was £5,100 million. Any borrowings made under the Bridge Credit Agreement would mature 364 days from the initial funding date. The commitments are intended to be drawn to finance the proposed acquisition of Meggitt only to the extent that we do not arrange for alternative financing prior to closing.
Additionally, we entered into a senior, unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $2,000 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) on August 27, 2021. The proceeds of the Term Loan Facility, if drawn, will be used solely by the Company to finance a portion of the consideration of its proposed acquisition. Refer to Note 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Bridge Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Facility.
During the first three months of fiscal 2022, we made a deposit of $215 million into an escrow account designated for the proposed acquisition. This cash is recorded as restricted cash on our Consolidated Balance Sheet within the prepaid expenses and other caption. During October 2021, we issued $2,126 million of commercial paper. We used these net proceeds and cash on hand to deposit a total of $2,272 million into the escrow account designated for the proposed acquisition.
In connection with the proposed acquisition of Meggitt, the Company entered into deal-contingent forward contracts during October 2021 to mitigate the risk of appreciation in the GBP-denominated purchase price. The deal-contingent forward contracts have an aggregate notional amount of £6,415 million, and settlement is contingent upon closing the proposed acquisition.
After consideration of the increase in funds designated for the proposed acquisition and the deal-contingent forward contracts, the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Credit Agreement was decreased to £3,200 million in October 2021.

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. Often but not always, these statements may be identified from the use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “potential,” “continues,” “plans,” “forecasts,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “would,” “intends,” “expects,” “targets,” “is likely,” “will,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions, and include all statements regarding future performance, earnings projections, events or developments. Neither the Company nor any of its respective associates or directors, officers or advisers, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this document will actually occur. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these statements. It is possible that the future performance and earnings projections of the Company, including its individual segments, may differ materially from past performance or 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 interpretation 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:

the impact of the global outbreak of COVID-19 and governmental and other actions taken in response;
changes in business relationships with and purchases by or from major customers, suppliers or distributors, including delays or cancellations in shipments;
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;
ability to identify acceptable strategic acquisition targets; uncertainties surrounding timing, successful completion or integration of acquisitions and similar transactions, including the integration of Lord and Exotic and the proposed acquisition of Meggitt; and our ability to effectively manage expanded operations from the acquisitions of Lord and Exotic and the proposed acquisition of Meggitt;
the ability to successfully divest businesses planned for divestiture and realize the anticipated benefits of such divestitures;
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;
ability to implement successfully capital allocation initiatives, including timing, price and execution of share repurchases;
availability, limitations or cost increases of raw materials, component products and/or commodities that cannot be recovered in product pricing;
ability to manage costs related to insurance and employee retirement and health care benefits;
legal and regulatory developments and changes;
additional liabilities relating to changes in tax rates or exposure to additional income tax liabilities;
ability to enter into, own, renew, protect and maintain intellectual property and know-how;
leverage and future debt service obligations;
potential impairment of goodwill;
compliance costs associated with environmental laws and regulations;
potential supply chain and labor disruptions, including as a result of labor shortages;
uncertainties surrounding the ultimate resolution of outstanding legal proceedings, including the outcome of any appeals;
global competitive market conditions, including U.S. trade policies and resulting effects on sales and pricing;
global economic factors, including manufacturing activity, air travel trends, currency exchange rates, difficulties entering new markets and general economic conditions such as inflation, deflation, interest rates, credit availability and changes in consumer habits and preferences;
local and global political and economic conditions;
inability to obtain, or meet conditions imposed for, required governmental and regulatory approvals;
government actions and natural phenomena such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes and pandemics;

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 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value by recording gains and losses through the Consolidated Statement of Income. Derivatives that are designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value by recording gains and losses through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. For cross-currency swaps measured using the spot method, the periodic interest settlements are recognized directly in earnings through interest expense. The translation of the foreign denominated debt that has been designated as a net investment hedge is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (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, the future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and its residual effects, including economic uncertainty and disruption within the global supply chain, labor markets and aerospace industry, on our business remain uncertain. As we cannot anticipate the ultimate duration or scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ultimate 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 September 30, 2021. Based on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2021, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our team members have been working remotely. While there were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, 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.
