BASIS OF PRESENTATION
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
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 provides highly engineered products and services to the aerospace, defense, power generation, and general industrial markets.

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.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements.

Management is required 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, 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 2015, the Corporation recorded additional costs of $11.5 million related to its long-term contract with Westinghouse to deliver reactor coolant pumps (RCPs) for the AP1000 nuclear power plants in China.  The increase in costs is due to a change in estimate related to production modifications that are the result of engineering and endurance testing. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, there were no other individual significant changes in estimated contract costs.

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 2015 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.

Recent accounting pronouncements adopted
Accounting pronouncement ASU 2015-17 - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes was early adopted effective January 1, 2016 and accounting pronouncement ASU 2015-03 - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs was adopted effective January 1, 2016. Both pronouncements were retrospectively adopted and, accordingly, certain amounts reported in the previous periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

A summary of the impact of the reclassifications as of December 31, 2015 is shown in the below table.

Recent accounting pronouncements to be adopted
Standard
Description
Effect on the financial statements
ASU 2014-09 Revenue from contracts with customers
In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard which will supersede previous existing revenue recognition guidance. The standard creates a five-step model for revenue recognition that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering contract terms and relevant facts and circumstances. The five-step model includes (1) identifying the contract, (2) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations and (5) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation has been satisfied. The standard also requires expanded disclosures surrounding revenue recognition. The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption.
The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Date of adoption: January 1, 2018
ASU 2016-02 Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued final guidance that will require lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to today’s accounting.
The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Date of adoption: January 1, 2019
ASU 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows.
The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Date of adoption: January 1, 2017
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

As part of a strategic portfolio review conducted in 2014, the Corporation identified certain businesses it considered non-core. The Corporation considers businesses non-core when the business’ products or services do not complement its existing businesses and where the long-term growth and profitability prospects are below the Corporation’s expectations. In 2015, the Corporation divested all five businesses that were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2014. The results of operations of these businesses are reported as discontinued operations within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

The aggregate financial results of all discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

(1) Loss from discontinued operations before income taxes includes approximately $41 million of held for sale impairment expense recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2015.

(2) Net of tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 of $3.1 million, respectively.

Divestitures

In May 2015, the Corporation completed the divestiture of its Downstream oil and gas business for $19 million, net of transaction costs and realized an additional pre-tax loss on divestiture of $14 million. The business had recorded impairment charges of $40 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

In January 2015, the Corporation sold the assets of its Aviation Ground support business for £3 million ($4 million).

During 2015, the Corporation disposed of five businesses in total aggregating to total cash proceeds of $31 million. The divestitures resulted in aggregate pre-tax losses in excess of $17 million, and tax benefits of approximately $3.3 million. Aggregate net sales attributable to these 2015 divestitures and facility closures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were $23 million and $57.3 million, respectively, and loss before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were $14.4 million and $41.6 million, respectively.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
Forward Foreign Exchange and Currency Option Contracts
 
The Corporation has foreign currency exposure primarily in the United Kingdom, Europe, and Canada.  The Corporation uses financial instruments, such as forward and option 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.

On February 5, 2016, the Corporation terminated its March 2013 and January 2012 interest rate swap agreements. As a result of the termination, the Corporation received a cash payment of $20.4 million, representing the fair value of the interest rate swaps on the date of termination. In connection with the termination, the Corporation and the counterparties released each other from all obligations under the interest rate swaps agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation to make periodic payments under such agreements. The gain on termination is reflected as a bond premium to our notes' carrying value and amortized prospectively into interest expense over the remaining terms of the Senior Notes.

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 that is primarily based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues as of June 30, 2016.  Accordingly, all of the Corporation’s debt is valued at a Level 2.  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.

(1) Effective for 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-03 - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs requiring unamortized debt issuance costs to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. Prior year balances have been reclassified to reflect the current year presentation.

(2) In February 2016, the Company terminated its interest rate swap agreements.   Upon termination of the interest rate swaps, the Corporation received $20.4 million in cash and recorded a deferred gain of $18.3 million.  As of June 30, 2016, the remaining benefit of $17.5 million was recorded as an increase in the long-term debt balance and will be recognized ratably as a reduction to future interest expense over the remaining life of the related debt.

Nonrecurring measurements
As discussed in Note 2, Discontinued Operations and Assets Held For Sale, the Corporation classified certain businesses as held for sale during 2014. In accordance with the provisions of the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets guidance of FASB Codification Subtopic 360–10, the carrying amount of the disposal groups were written down to their estimated fair value, less costs to sell, resulting in an impairment charge of $40.8 million, which was included in the loss from discontinued operations before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The fair value of the disposal groups were determined primarily by using non-binding quotes. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, the impairment charge is classified as a Level 3 measurement as it is based on significant other unobservable inputs.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Corporation made no contributions to the Curtiss-Wright Pension Plan, and does not expect to make any contributions in 2016. Effective May 1, 2016, the Corporation completed the merger of three frozen UK defined benefit pension schemes by merging the Metal Improvement Company Salaried Staff Pension Scheme and the Mechetronics Limited Retirement Benefits Scheme into the Curtiss-Wright Penny & Giles Pension Plan. The Penny & Giles Plan was then renamed the Curtiss-Wright UK Pension Plan.

In connection with the merger, the Corporation made an additional £3 million (approximately $4.4 million) cash contribution to the plan, and executed a Parent Company Guarantee to further increase the security of members’ pension benefits. The merger will benefit the Corporation by cost reduction achieved through streamlined advisor services and more efficient Trust administration.

Scheduled contributions to the foreign benefit plans are not expected to be material in 2016.

Defined Contribution Retirement Plan

Effective January 1, 2014, all non-union employees who are not currently receiving final or career average pay benefits became eligible to receive employer contributions in the Corporation’s sponsored 401(k) plan. The employer contributions include both employer match and non-elective contribution components, up to a maximum employer contribution of 6% of eligible compensation.  During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the expense relating to the plan was $6.0 million and $7.5 million, respectively.   The Corporation made $9.1 million in contributions to the plan during the six months ended June 30, 2016, and expects to make total contributions of $11.5 million in 2016.

Legal Proceedings

The Corporation has been named in a number of lawsuits that allege injury from exposure to asbestos.  To date, the Corporation has not been found liable for or paid any material sum of money in settlement in any case.  The Corporation believes its minimal use of asbestos in its past operations and the relatively non-friable condition of asbestos in its products makes it unlikely that it will face material liability in any asbestos litigation, whether individually or in the aggregate.  The Corporation maintains insurance coverage for these potential liabilities and believes adequate coverage exists to cover any unanticipated asbestos liability.

In December 2013, the Corporation, along with other unaffiliated parties, received a claim from Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL) filed in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta, Judicial District of Calgary. The claim pertains to a January 2011 fire and explosion at a delayed coker unit at its Fort McMurray refinery that resulted in the injury of five CNRL employees, damage to property and equipment, and various forms of consequential loss, such as loss of profit, lost opportunities, and business interruption. The fire and explosion occurred when a CNRL employee bypassed certain safety controls and opened an operating coker unit. The total quantum of alleged damages arising from the incident has not been finalized, but is estimated to meet or exceed $1 billion.  The Corporation maintains various forms of commercial, property and casualty, product liability, and other forms of insurance; however, such insurance may not be adequate to cover the costs associated with a judgment against us. The Corporation is currently unable to estimate an amount, or range of potential losses, if any, from this matter. The Corporation believes it has adequate legal defenses and intends to defend this matter vigorously. The Corporation’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, could be materially affected during a future fiscal quarter or fiscal year by unfavorable developments or outcome regarding this claim.

In addition to the CNRL litigation, the Corporation is party to a number of other 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 Corporation’s results of operations or financial position.

Letters of Credit and Other Financial Arrangements

The Corporation enters into standby letters of credit agreements and guarantees with financial institutions and customers primarily relating to guarantees of repayment, future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services, and to secure advance payments from certain international customers. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were $35.4 million and $37.3 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding, respectively, and $13.6 million and $14.7 million of bank guarantees outstanding, respectively. In addition, the Corporation is required to provide the Nuclear Regulatory Commission financial assurance demonstrating its ability to cover the cost of decommissioning its Cheswick, Pennsylvania facility upon closure, though the Corporation does not intend to close this facility.  The Corporation has provided this financial assurance in the form of a $56.0 million surety bond.

AP1000 Program

Within the Corporation’s Power segment, our Electro-Mechanical Division is the reactor coolant pump (RCP) supplier for the Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear power plants under construction in China and the United States.  The terms of the AP1000 China and United States contracts include liquidated damage penalty provisions for failure to meet contractual delivery dates if the Corporation caused the delay and the delay was not excusable. On October 10, 2013, the Corporation received a letter from Westinghouse stating entitlements to the maximum amount of liquidated damages allowable under the AP1000 China contract from Westinghouse of approximately $25 million. The Corporation would be liable for liquidated damages under the contract if certain contractual delivery dates were not met and if the Corporation was deemed responsible for the delay. As of June 30, 2016, the Corporation has not met certain contractual delivery dates under its AP 1000 China and US contracts; however there are significant uncertainties as to which parties are responsible for the delays. The Corporation believes it has adequate legal defenses and intends to vigorously defend this matter. Given the uncertainties surrounding the responsibility for the delays no accrual has been made for this matter as of June 30, 2016.  As of June 30, 2016, the range of possible loss is $0 to $53 million.

Recent accounting pronouncements to be adopted
Standard
Description
Effect on the financial statements
ASU 2014-09 Revenue from contracts with customers
In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard which will supersede previous existing revenue recognition guidance. The standard creates a five-step model for revenue recognition that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering contract terms and relevant facts and circumstances. The five-step model includes (1) identifying the contract, (2) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations and (5) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation has been satisfied. The standard also requires expanded disclosures surrounding revenue recognition. The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption.
The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Date of adoption: January 1, 2018
ASU 2016-02 Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued final guidance that will require lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to today’s accounting.
The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Date of adoption: January 1, 2019
ASU 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows.
The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Date of adoption: January 1, 2017
Basis Of Accounting 

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 provides highly engineered products and services to the aerospace, defense, power generation, and general industrial markets.

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.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements.

Management is required 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, 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 2015, the Corporation recorded additional costs of $11.5 million related to its long-term contract with Westinghouse to deliver reactor coolant pumps (RCPs) for the AP1000 nuclear power plants in China.  The increase in costs is due to a change in estimate related to production modifications that are the result of engineering and endurance testing. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, there were no other individual significant changes in estimated contract costs.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these financial statements.
