BASIS OF PRESENTATION
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Curtiss-Wright Corporation and its subsidiaries (“the Corporation” or “the Company”) is a diversified, multinational manufacturing and service company that designs, manufactures, and overhauls precision components and systems and provides highly engineered products and services to the aerospace, defense, automotive, shipbuilding, processing, oil, petrochemical, agricultural equipment, railroad, power generation, security, and metalworking industries. Operations are conducted through 62 manufacturing facilities and 58 metal treatment service facilities.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Curtiss-Wright and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

On March 30, 2012, the Corporation sold its Heat Treating business to Bodycote plc. As a result of the divestiture, the results of operations for the Heat Treating business, which were previously reported as part of the Metal Treatment segment, have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Please refer to Footnote 2 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant of these estimates includes the estimate of costs to complete long-term contracts under the percentage-of-completion accounting methods, the estimate of useful lives for property, plant, and equipment, cash flow estimates used for testing the recoverability of assets, pension plan and postretirement obligation assumptions, estimates for inventory obsolescence, estimates for the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets, warranty reserves, legal reserves, and the estimate of future environmental costs. Changes in estimates of contract sales, costs, and profits are recognized using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. This method recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods. Accordingly, the effect of the changes on future periods of contract performance is recognized as if the revised estimate had been the original estimate. During the second quarter of 2012, the Corporation incurred unanticipated additional costs of $6 million on its long-term contract with Westinghouse for disassembly, inspection, and packaging costs related to the reactor coolant pumps (“RCP”) that we are supplying for the AP1000 nuclear power plants in China. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of the operating results for a full year.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

ADOPTION OF NEW STANDARDS

Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)

In May 2011, new guidance was issued that amends the current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to increase transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. The new guidance does not extend the use of fair value accounting, but provides guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within U.S. GAAP or IFRS. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and is to be adopted prospectively as early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Corporation's results of operations or financial condition.

Other Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, new guidance was issued that amends the current comprehensive income guidance. The new guidance allows the option of presenting the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single or continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The new guidance is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to defer the effective date for those aspects of the guidance relating to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The adoption of this new guidance did not have an impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as it only requires a change in the format of the current presentation of other comprehensive income.

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment

In September 2011, new guidance was issued that amends the current testing requirements of goodwill for impairment purposes. The new guidance gives companies the option to perform a qualitative assessment to first assess whether the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. The new guidance is to be applied prospectively effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Corporation's results of operations or financial condition.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block]

2       DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On March 30, 2012, the Corporation sold the assets and real estate of its Heat Treating business, which had been reported in the Metal Treatment segment, to Bodycote plc. The sales price was $52 million and is subject to a post-closing adjustment based on the final closing balance sheet. The Heat Treating business' operating results are included in discontinued operations in the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for all periods presented.

Components of earnings from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, were as follows:

These capitalized costs will be liquidated as production units are delivered to the customer. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $8.1 million and $9.4 million, respectively, are scheduled to be liquidated under existing firm orders.

GOODWILL
GOODWILL

5.       GOODWILL

The Corporation accounts for acquisitions by assigning the purchase price to acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned is recorded as goodwill.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2012 are as follows:

   (In thousands) 
  Flow Control Motion Control Metal Treatment Consolidated 
December 31, 2011 $ 328,219 $ 385,784 $ 45,439 $ 759,442

June 30, 2012 $ 331,768 $ 386,110 $ 41,782 $ 759,660 

On April 19, 2012, the Corporation acquired two product lines from the Amidyne Group for approximately $7 million. The product lines serve the commercial nuclear power market, and consist of original equipment and re-engineered replacement products for obsolete equipment. The Corporation will integrate both product lines into its Flow Control segment. In connection with this acquisition, we recorded approximately $3 million in identifiable intangible assets, consisting primarily of finite-lived customer relationships, and approximately $3 million in Goodwill. The purchase price allocation relating to the business acquired is based on an initial estimate, and subject to revision, based upon final analysis including input from third party appraisals, when deemed appropriate. The determination of fair value is finalized no later than twelve months from the date of acquisition.

The recoverability of goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test based on the estimated fair value of the underlying businesses. As further described in our 2011 annual report on Form 10-K, to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit, we consider both comparative market multiples as well as estimated discounted cash flows for the reporting unit. The test is performed in the fourth quarter, which coincides with the completion of our five-year strategic operating plan. Additionally, goodwill is tested for impairment when an event occurs or if circumstances change that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Corporation performed an interim goodwill impairment test for its oil and gas reporting unit, within its Flow Control segment, as a result of on-going customer delays of international capital expenditures. Based on the interim impairment analysis, the Corporation determined that its oil and gas reporting unit's estimated fair value was not substantially in excess of its carrying amount. For further discussion on the Corporation's interim impairment analysis please refer to our Critical Accounting Policy section in Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

7.       FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts

The Corporation has foreign currency exposure primarily in Europe and Canada. The Corporation uses financial instruments, such as forward contracts, to hedge a portion of existing and anticipated foreign currency denominated transactions. The purpose of the Corporation's foreign currency risk management program is to reduce volatility in earnings caused by exchange rate fluctuations. Guidance on accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities requires companies to recognize all of the derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based upon quoted market prices for comparable instruments.

Interest Rate Risks and Related Strategies

The Corporation's primary interest rate exposure results from changes in U.S. dollar interest rates. The Corporation's policy is to manage interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. The Corporation periodically uses interest rate swaps to manage such exposures. Under these interest rate swaps, the Corporation exchanges, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount.

For interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges (i.e., hedges against the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps offset changes in the fair value of the fixed rate debt due to changes in market interest rates.

In January 2012, the Company entered into three fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements to convert the interest payments of the $200 million, 4.24% notes, due December 1, 2026, from a fixed rate to a floating interest rate based on 1-Month LIBOR plus a 2.02% spread, and one fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreement to convert the interest payments of $25 million of the $100 million, 3.84% notes, due December 1, 2021, from a fixed rate to a floating interest rate based on 1-Month LIBOR plus a 1.90% spread. The notional amounts of the Company's outstanding interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges were $200 million and $25 million at June 30, 2012.

The Corporation utilizes the bid ask pricing that is common in the dealer markets to determine the fair value of its interest rate swap agreements and forward foreign exchange contracts. The dealers are ready to transact at these prices which use the mid-market pricing convention and are considered to be at fair market value.

The fair value accounting guidance requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company has the ability to access.

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves.

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable data points that are not corroborated by market data.

Based upon the fair value hierarchy, all of the forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps are valued at a Level 2.

Debt

The estimated fair value amounts were determined by the Corporation using available market information which is primarily based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues as of June 30, 2012. In accordance with the fair value accounting guidance, all of the Corporation's debt is classified as Level 2.

The carrying amount of the variable interest rate debt approximates fair value because the interest rates are reset periodically to reflect current market conditions.

The fair values described below may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, the use of different methodologies to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Legal Proceedings

In January 2007, a former executive was awarded approximately $9.0 million in punitive and compensatory damages plus legal costs related to a gender bias lawsuit filed in 2003. The Corporation recorded a $6.5 million reserve related to the lawsuit. In August of 2009, the New Jersey Appellate Division reversed in part and affirmed in part the judgment of the trial court, resulting in the setting aside of the punitive damage award and the front pay award of the Plaintiff's compensatory damages award. The Plaintiff filed a Petition for Certification with the Supreme Court of New Jersey requesting review of the Appellate Division's decision. In December 2010, the Supreme Court of New Jersey issued an opinion reversing the Appellate Division's decision, and reinstated the judgment rendered by the trial court. The Corporation filed a Motion for Reconsideration with the Supreme Court of New Jersey. In the motion, the Corporation requested that the Supreme Court of New Jersey remand the case back to the lower Appellate Division to resolve certain arguments raised by the Corporation regarding the appropriateness of damages. The Supreme Court of New Jersey granted the Corporation's request for reconsideration and remanded the case back to the lower Appellate Division to decide the remaining undecided arguments raised by the Corporation. In September 2011, the Appellate Court heard argument on the remaining unresolved issues in the case. On April 5, 2012, the Appellate Court issued its decision in this matter and found that the Corporation is not entitled to a new trial on liability with regards to the retaliation claim. However, the Appellate Division did set aside substantially all of the damage awards in the case and authorized a new trial on damages.

Neither party petitioned the Supreme Court of New Jersey for Certification. In July 2012, the parties mutually settled the outstanding judgment for the amount of $5.2 million. Accordingly, the total reserve related to the lawsuit as of June 30, 2012 is $5.2 million and recorded within Other current liabilities of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Consistent with other entities its size, the Corporation is party to a number of legal actions and claims, none of which individually or in the aggregate, in the opinion of management, are expected to have a material effect on the Corporations' results of operations or financial position.

Environmental Matters

The Corporation's environmental obligations have not changed significantly from December 31, 2011. The aggregate environmental liability was $21.2 million at June 30, 2012 and $20.5 million at December 31, 2011. All environmental reserves exclude any potential recovery from insurance carriers or third-party legal actions.

The Corporation, through its Flow Control segment, has several Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”) licenses necessary for the continued operation of its commercial nuclear operations. In connection with these licenses, the NRC required financial assurance from the Corporation in the form of a parent company guarantee, representing estimated environmental decommissioning and remediation costs associated with the commercial operations covered by the licenses. The guarantee for the decommissioning costs of the refurbishment facility is $4.7 million.

Letters of Credit and Other Arrangements

The Corporation enters into standby letters of credit agreements and guarantees with financial institutions and customers primarily relating to guarantees of repayment on certain Industrial Revenue Bonds, future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services, and to secure advance payments the Corporation has received from certain international customers. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Corporation had contingent liabilities on outstanding letters of credit of $55.8 million and $55.8 million, respectively.

AP1000 Program

The Corporation's Electro-Mechanical Division is the reactor coolant pump (“RCP”) supplier for the Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear power plants under construction in China. The first RCP was scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2011, however, the Corporation detected a localized heating issue in the pump stator during the final phase of qualification testing. The Corporation has taken the necessary steps to ensure the long-term reliability and safety of the RCP and successfully completed qualification testing in April of 2012. The first RCP is expected to be ready for shipment during the third quarter. Based upon these circumstances and our current negotiations with the customer, the Corporation believes that the revised delivery dates mitigate any performance risk and that any damage or incentive provisions will be revised accordingly. Based upon the information available, the Corporation does not believe that the ultimate outcome will result in a material impact to its results of operations or cash flows.

U.S. Government Defense Budget/Sequestration

In August 2011, the Budget Control Act (the Act) reduced the United States Department of Defense (U.S. DoD) top line budget by approximately $490 billion over 10 years starting in 2013. In addition, barring Congressional action, further budget cuts (or sequestration) as outlined in the Act will be implemented starting in January 2013. Sequestration would lead to additional reductions of approximately $500 billion from the Pentagon's top line budget over the next decade, resulting in aggregate reductions of about $1 trillion over 10 years. In June 2012, the Office of Management and Budget announced that the budget for Overseas Contingency Operations and any unobligated balances in prior year funds will also be included in aggregate reductions. The U.S. DoD has taken the position that such reductions would generate significant operational risks and may require the termination of certain, as yet undetermined, procurement programs. Any reduction in levels of U.S. DoD spending, cancellations or delays impacting existing contracts or programs, including through sequestration, could have a material impact on the Corporation's operating results.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Policies)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Curtiss-Wright Corporation and its subsidiaries (“the Corporation” or “the Company”) is a diversified, multinational manufacturing and service company that designs, manufactures, and overhauls precision components and systems and provides highly engineered products and services to the aerospace, defense, automotive, shipbuilding, processing, oil, petrochemical, agricultural equipment, railroad, power generation, security, and metalworking industries. Operations are conducted through 62 manufacturing facilities and 58 metal treatment service facilities.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Curtiss-Wright and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

On March 30, 2012, the Corporation sold its Heat Treating business to Bodycote plc. As a result of the divestiture, the results of operations for the Heat Treating business, which were previously reported as part of the Metal Treatment segment, have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Please refer to Footnote 2 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant of these estimates includes the estimate of costs to complete long-term contracts under the percentage-of-completion accounting methods, the estimate of useful lives for property, plant, and equipment, cash flow estimates used for testing the recoverability of assets, pension plan and postretirement obligation assumptions, estimates for inventory obsolescence, estimates for the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets, warranty reserves, legal reserves, and the estimate of future environmental costs. Changes in estimates of contract sales, costs, and profits are recognized using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. This method recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods. Accordingly, the effect of the changes on future periods of contract performance is recognized as if the revised estimate had been the original estimate. During the second quarter of 2012, the Corporation incurred unanticipated additional costs of $6 million on its long-term contract with Westinghouse for disassembly, inspection, and packaging costs related to the reactor coolant pumps (“RCP”) that we are supplying for the AP1000 nuclear power plants in China. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of the operating results for a full year.

Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)

In May 2011, new guidance was issued that amends the current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to increase transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. The new guidance does not extend the use of fair value accounting, but provides guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within U.S. GAAP or IFRS. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and is to be adopted prospectively as early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Corporation's results of operations or financial condition.

 

Other Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, new guidance was issued that amends the current comprehensive income guidance. The new guidance allows the option of presenting the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single or continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The new guidance is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to defer the effective date for those aspects of the guidance relating to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The adoption of this new guidance did not have an impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as it only requires a change in the format of the current presentation of other comprehensive income.

 

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment

In September 2011, new guidance was issued that amends the current testing requirements of goodwill for impairment purposes. The new guidance gives companies the option to perform a qualitative assessment to first assess whether the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. The new guidance is to be applied prospectively effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Corporation's results of operations or financial condition.
