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, 2020, the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 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 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic is having, and will likely continue to have, an adverse effect on our business, and its future impacts remain highly uncertain and unpredictable. Therefore, accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time in response to COVID-19 and may change materially in future periods. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events that occurred through the date these financial statements were issued. During October 2020, we sold land for net proceeds of approximately $111 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of approximately $76 million.
2. New accounting pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. We adopted ASU 2016-13 on July 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance, using the modified retrospective method, did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings and did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
3. Revenue recognition
Revenue is derived primarily from the sale of products in a variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets. A majority of the Company’s revenues are recognized at a point in time. However, a portion of the Company’s revenues are recognized over time.

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:

)

At September 30, 2020, the change in net contract liabilities was primarily due to timing differences between when revenue was recognized and the receipt of advance payments. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, approximately $18 million of revenue was recognized that was included in the contract liabilities at June 30, 2020.
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, 2020 was $5,064 million, of which approximately 85 percent is expected to be recognized as revenue within the next 12 months and the balance thereafter.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, 530,438 and 1,097,639 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. 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 $16,893 and $11,644 at September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively.

8. Business realignment and acquisition integration charges
We incurred business realignment and acquisition integration charges in fiscal 2021 and 2020. During fiscal 2021, business realignment charges primarily consisted of actions taken to address the impact of COVID-19 on our business. In both fiscal 2021 and 2020, 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. A majority of the business realignment charges were incurred in North America and Europe. We believe the realignment actions will positively impact future results of operations but will not have a material effect on liquidity and sources and uses of capital.
Business realignment charges presented in the Business Segment Information are as follows:

During the first three months of fiscal 2021, approximately $20 million in payments were made relating to business realignment charges. Remaining payments related to business realignment actions of approximately $18 million, a majority of which are expected to be paid by September 30, 2021, are primarily reflected within the other accrued liabilities caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additional charges may be recognized in future periods related to the business realignment described above, the timing and amount of which are not known at this time.
We also incurred the following acquisition integration charges related to the fiscal 2020 acquisitions of LORD Corporation ("Lord") and Exotic Metals Forming Company ("Exotic"):

The acquisitions line represents adjustments to the Lord goodwill allocation during the measurement period subsequent to its acquisition date. The impact of these adjustments during the first three months of fiscal 2021 was immaterial to our results of operations and financial position. Lord's purchase price allocation remains preliminary at September 30, 2020. However, Exotic's purchase price allocation is complete.
We did not identify any events or circumstances during the first three months of fiscal 2021 that required performance of an interim goodwill impairment test. However, the effects of COVID-19 on the global economy, including further market disruption, lack of economic recovery or lower than anticipated customer demand, may require the performance of an interim goodwill impairment test in future periods.

Total intangible amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $81,703. The estimated amortization expense for the five years ending June 30, 2021 through 2025 is $321,660, $306,295, $296,282, $286,998 and $272,899, 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 intangible asset impairments occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $385 and $457, respectively, in expense related to other postretirement benefits. Components of retirement benefits expense, other than service cost, are included in other (income), net in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
12. Debt
During the first three months of fiscal 2021, the Company repaid the remaining $320 million balance of the $800 million term loan. Additionally, we made repayments of $352 million against the $925 million term loan, of which $539 million remains outstanding at September 30, 2020.
13. Income taxes
On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), a significant tax-and-spending package intended to provide economic stimulus to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act did not result in a material impact on our effective tax rate.
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 2013. We are also open to assessment for significant foreign jurisdictions for fiscal years after 2008. 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, 2020, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $91,592, all of which, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. The accrued interest related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluded from the amount above, is $14,721. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits could be

- 13 -



reduced by up to approximately $30,000 as a result of the revaluation of existing uncertain tax positions arising from developments in the examination process or the closure of tax statutes. Any increase in the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months is expected to be insignificant.
14. 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, 2020 and 2019.
The carrying value of long-term debt and estimated fair value of long-term debt are as follows:

Estimated fair value of long-term debt

8,574,401


The fair value of long-term debt is classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
We utilize derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, including forward exchange contracts, costless collar contracts, cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign denominated debt designated as net investment hedges, to manage foreign currency transaction and translation risk. The derivative financial instrument contracts are with major investment grade financial institutions and we do not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the counterparties. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
The Company’s 700 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2025 have been designated as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. The translation of the Senior Notes due 2025 into U.S. dollars is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) and remains there until the underlying net investment is sold or substantially liquidated.
Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value.
The location and fair value of derivative financial instruments reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are as follows:

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

- 14 -



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 359 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 $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, 2020. 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, 2020 and 2019 were not material.

(Losses) gains 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, 2020
AND COMPARABLE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2019

OVERVIEW
The Company is a leading worldwide diversified manufacturer of motion and control technologies and systems, providing precision engineered solutions for a wide variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets.
Our order rates provide a near-term perspective of the Company’s outlook particularly when viewed in the context of prior and future order rates. The Company publishes its order rates on a quarterly basis. The lead time between the time an order is received and revenue is realized generally ranges from one day to 12 weeks for mobile and industrial orders and from one day to 18 months for aerospace orders. We believe the leading economic indicators of these markets that have a strong correlation to the Company’s future order rates are as follows:
Purchasing Managers Index ("PMI") on manufacturing activity specific to regions around the world with respect to most mobile and industrial markets;
Global aircraft miles flown and global revenue passenger miles for commercial aerospace markets and U.S. Department of Defense spending for military aerospace markets; and
Housing starts with respect to the North American residential air conditioning market and certain mobile construction markets.
A PMI above 50 indicates that the manufacturing activity specific to a region of the world in the mobile and industrial markets is expanding. A PMI below 50 indicates the opposite. Recent PMI levels for some regions around the world were as follows:
 
September 30, 2020
 
June 30, 2020
 
September 30, 2019
United States
55.4

45.7

China
53.0

 
51.2

 
51.4

Brazil
64.9

 
51.6

 
53.4

At September 30, 2020, global aircraft miles flown decreased by approximately 55 percent and available revenue passenger miles decreased by approximately 64 percent from their comparable prior-year period. The Company anticipates that U.S. Department of Defense spending with regard to appropriations and operations and maintenance for the U.S. Government’s fiscal year 2021 will be flat compared the fiscal 2020 level.
Housing starts in September 2020 were approximately 11 percent higher than housing starts in September 2019 and approximately 19 percent higher than housing starts in June 2020.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. Given the unpredictable nature of COVID-19's impact on the global economy, the statistics included above may not be reflective of recent or future activity.
We are actively monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has negatively impacted, and we expect will continue to negatively impact, our business and results of operations. Disruption within the aerospace industry, which is facing the consequences of travel restrictions and considerably lower demand, was significant and is expected to continue. The ultimate extent to which our business and results of operations will be impacted by the pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted at this time, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and actions by government authorities to contain the pandemic or mitigate its economic, public health and other impacts.

- 16 -



We continue to prioritize the safety of our team members. To minimize the spread of COVID-19 in our workplaces, we implemented rigorous prevention, screening and hygiene protocols. Additionally, we are preserving cash and reducing costs through elimination of discretionary spending and targeted restructuring. Salary reductions and reduced work schedules remain in effect where warranted based on local business conditions. We continue to prioritize capital expenditures related to safety and strategic investments. At the same time, we are appropriately addressing the ongoing needs of our business so that we may continue to serve our customers.
In the long-term, we believe many opportunities for profitable growth are available. The Company intends to focus primarily on business opportunities in the areas of energy, water, food, environment, defense, life sciences, infrastructure and transportation. We believe we can meet our strategic objectives by:

Serving the customer and continuously enhancing its experience with the Company;
Successfully executing The Win Strategy initiatives relating to engaged people, premier customer experience, profitable growth and financial performance;
Maintaining a decentralized division and sales company structure;
Fostering a safety first and entrepreneurial culture;
Engineering innovative systems and products to provide superior customer value through improved service, efficiency and productivity;
Delivering products, systems and services that have demonstrable savings to customers and are priced by the value they deliver;
Acquiring strategic businesses;
Organizing around targeted regions, technologies and markets;
Driving efficiency by implementing lean enterprise principles; and
Creating a culture of empowerment through our values, inclusion and diversity, accountability and teamwork.
Acquisitions will be considered from time to time to the extent there is a strong strategic fit, while at the same time maintaining the Company’s strong financial position. Additionally, we will continue to assess our existing businesses and may initiate efforts to divest businesses that are not considered to be a good long-term strategic fit for the Company. Future business divestitures could have a negative effect on the Company’s results of operations.
The discussion below is structured to separately discuss the Consolidated Statement of Income, Business Segment Information, Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "Company", "Parker", "we" or "us" refer to Parker-Hannifin Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Net sales for the current-year quarter decreased compared to the prior-year quarter due to lower volume in all segments, partially offset by an increase in sales from acquisitions made within the last 12 months of $305 million. The effect of currency rate changes increased net sales by approximately $26 million in the current-year quarter, which was primarily comprised of a $30 million increase in the Diversified Industrial International businesses, partially offset by a decrease in the North American businesses.

- 17 -



Gross profit margin (calculated as net sales minus cost of sales, divided by net sales) increased slightly in the current-year quarter as a decrease in gross profit margin in the Aerospace Systems Segment was more than offset by an increase in both the Diversified Industrial North American and Diversified Industrial International businesses. Cost of sales for the current-year and prior-year quarter included business realignment and acquisition integration charges of $12 million and $3 million, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") decreased during the current-year quarter primarily due to lower discretionary spending and wage and salary expense resulting from actions taken in response to current business conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. SG&A also benefited from the absence of acquisition-related expenses of $15 million, which were incurred in the prior-year quarter. These benefits were partially offset by higher intangible amortization expense related to prior-year acquisitions and higher stock compensation expense. SG&A included business realignment and acquisition integration charges of $7 million and $5 million for the current-year and prior-year quarter, respectively.
Interest expense for the current-year quarter decreased from the comparable prior-year period primarily due to lower average interest rates.
Other (income), net included the following:

Effective tax rate for the current-year quarter was higher than the comparable prior-year period primarily due to an overall decrease in discrete tax benefits for the first three months of fiscal 2021. The fiscal 2021 effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 23 percent.

The above presentation reconciles the percentage changes in net sales of the Diversified Industrial Segment reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP to percentage changes in net sales adjusted to remove the effects of acquisitions made within the last 12 months as well as currency exchange rates (a non-GAAP measure). The effects of acquisitions and currency exchange rates are removed to allow investors and the Company to meaningfully evaluate the percentage changes in net sales on a comparable basis from period to period.
Sales in the Diversified Industrial North American businesses decreased 5.9 percent during the current-year quarter. The effect of acquisitions increased sales by approximately $138 million in the current-year quarter, while the effect of currency exchange rates did not have a significant impact on sales. Excluding the effects of acquisitions and changes in the currency exchange rates, Diversified Industrial North American sales for the current-year quarter decreased 14.1 percent from prior-year levels primarily due to lower demand from distributors and end users in various markets, including the oil and gas, construction equipment, heavy-duty truck, engines, and cars and light truck markets, partially offset by an increase in end-user demand in the life sciences and semiconductor markets.
Sales in the current-year quarter for the Diversified Industrial International operations increased 4.7 percent from the prior-year quarter. The effect of acquisitions and changes in currency exchange rates increased sales from the prior-year quarter by approximately $99 million and $30 million, respectively. Excluding the effects of acquisitions and changes in currency exchange rates, Diversified Industrial International sales for the current-year quarter decreased 7.3 percent from prior-year levels. Europe and Latin America contributed to the decrease in sales, which was partially offset by an increase in sales within the Asia Pacific region.
Within Europe, the decrease in sales in the current-year quarter was primarily due to lower demand from distributors and end users in most markets, including construction equipment, general industrial machinery, machine tool, cars and light truck and material handling markets.
Within Latin America, the decrease in sales for the current-year quarter was primarily due to lower demand from distributors and end users in the mining, cars and light truck and oil and gas markets, partially offset by higher demand from end users in the life sciences market.
Within the Asia Pacific region, the increase in current-year quarter sales was primarily due to higher demand from end users in the engine, semiconductor, cars and light truck and construction equipment markets, partially offset by lower demand from distributors and end users in the oil and gas market.
Diversified Industrial Segment operating margins increased in the current-year quarter within both the North American and International businesses primarily due to a favorable product mix and benefits from overall cost reductions, including lower discretionary spending, wage and salary reductions and prior-year restructuring actions in response to current business conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. These benefits were partially offset by overall lower sales volume, higher intangible asset amortization expense and higher business realignment and acquisition integration costs.

During fiscal 2021, business realignment charges primarily included actions taken to address the impact of COVID-19 on our business. The business realignment charges also consisted of severance costs related to actions taken under the Company's simplification initiative implemented by operating units throughout the world as well as plant closures. Acquisition integration charges relate to the fiscal 2020 acquisition of 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 2021 will not materially impact operating income in fiscal 2021 or 2022. We expect to continue to take actions necessary to integrate acquisitions and structure appropriately the operations of the Diversified Industrial Segment, especially in light of the rapidly changing business conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. We currently anticipate incurring approximately $57 million of additional business realignment and acquisition integration charges in the remainder of fiscal 2021, a majority of which relate to actions to be taken in response to business conditions resulting from COVID-19. However, continually changing business conditions could impact the ultimate costs we incur.
Diversified Industrial Segment backlog as of September 30, 2020 increased from the prior-year quarter primarily due to the addition of the Lord backlog and orders exceeding shipments in the International businesses, partially offset by shipments exceeding orders in the North American businesses. Within the International businesses, the Asia Pacific region and Europe accounted for approximately 70 percent and 25 percent of the increase, respectively.
As of September 30, 2020, Diversified Industrial Segment backlog increased compared to the June 30, 2020 amount of $2,117 million due to orders exceeding shipments in both the International and North American businesses. The International and North American backlog accounted for approximately 70 percent and 30 percent of the change, respectively. Within the International businesses, Europe and the Asia Pacific region accounted for approximately 55 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.

The decrease in net sales in the Aerospace Systems Segment for the current-year quarter was primarily due to lower volume in the commercial aftermarket and original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") businesses due to the current market conditions as a result of COVID-19. This decrease was partially offset by higher military OEM and aftermarket volume as well as a $68 million increase in sales from prior-year acquisitions.
Operating margin decreased during the current-year quarter compared to the prior-year period primarily due to lower sales volume in the commercial OEM and aftermarket businesses, lower aftermarket profitability and higher business realignment charges primarily due to current economic conditions resulting from COVID-19, partially offset by lower engineering development expenses and benefits from prior-year restructuring actions. The significantly reduced production rate of the Boeing 737 MAX also contributed to lower operating margin.

As a result of the disruption in the aerospace industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect to continue to take the actions necessary to structure appropriately the operations of the Aerospace Systems Segment. These actions are expected to result in approximately $3 million of additional business realignment and acquisition integration charges in the remainder of fiscal 2021. However, continually changing business conditions could impact the ultimate costs we incur. We anticipate that cost savings realized from the workforce reduction measures taken in the first three months of fiscal 2021 will increase operating income by approximately two percent in fiscal 2021 and 2022.
The decrease in backlog from the prior-year quarter and from the June 30, 2020 amount of $3,021 million is primarily due to shipments exceeding orders in the commercial OEM and aftermarket businesses, partially offset by orders exceeding shipments in the military OEM and aftermarket businesses. Backlog consists of written firm orders from a customer to deliver products and, in the case of blanket purchase orders, only includes the portion of the order for which a schedule or release date has been agreed to with the customer. The dollar value of backlog is equal to the amount that is expected to be billed to the customer and reported as a sale.

Corporate general and administrative expenses decreased during the current-year quarter primarily due to a net benefit related to the Company's deferred compensation plan and related investments. Additionally, corporate general and administrative expenses benefited from lower discretionary spending and wage and salary expense as a result of actions taken in response to current business conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cash (comprised of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and other investments) includes $720 million and $726 million held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries at September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, 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.
Trade accounts receivable, net are receivables due from customers for sales of product. Days sales outstanding relating to trade accounts receivable was 53 days at September 30, 2020, and 54 days at June 30, 2020. We believe that our receivables are collectible and appropriate allowances for credit losses have been recorded.
Inventories as of September 30, 2020 decreased by $19 million (which includes an increase of $21 million from the effect of foreign currency translation). After consideration of the effects of foreign currency translation, inventories decreased primarily due to a decrease in both the Aerospace Systems Segment and Diversified Industrial Segment. Days supply of inventory on hand was 88 days at September 30, 2020, 89 days at June 30, 2020 and 79 days at September 30, 2019.
Long-term debt decreased by $595 million from prior year-end primarily due to the repayment of term loans. Refer to Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Shareholders’ equity activity during the first three months of fiscal 2021 included an increase of approximately $130 million as a result of foreign currency translation.

Cash flows from operating activities for the first three months of fiscal 2021 was higher than the first three months of fiscal 2020 due to an increase in cash provided by working capital items. We remain focused on managing our inventory and other working capital requirements.
Cash flows from investing activities for the first three months of fiscal 2020 includes acquisition-related activity of $1,696 million. Additionally, the first three months of fiscal 2021 includes net maturities of marketable securities of $38 million compared to net purchases of $134 million in prior-year quarter.
Cash flows from financing activities for the first three months of fiscal 2021 includes net commercial paper borrowings of $114 million compared to $1,104 million in the first three months of fiscal 2020. Cash flows from financing activities in the current-year quarter also includes term loan repayments of $672 million while prior-year quarter includes proceeds from the issuance of a $925 million term loan. Refer to Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Our goal is to maintain a strong investment-grade credit profile. The rating agencies periodically update our credit ratings as events occur. At September 30, 2020, the long-term credit ratings assigned to the Company's senior debt securities by the credit rating agencies engaged by the Company were as follows:
Fitch Ratings
 
BBB+
Moody's Investor Services, Inc.
 
Baa1
Standard & Poor's
 
BBB+
We have taken several meaningful measures to strengthen our liquidity position in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the suspension of our share repurchase program and other cost reduction efforts. We continue to prioritize capital expenditures related to safety and strategic investments. Although we cannot reasonably estimate the duration of the pandemic or its ultimate impact on our business, we believe these measures, as well as access to committed credit under our credit agreement, position the Company well to manage through the current economic uncertainty and capitalize on our position as the global leader in motion and control technologies as the economy recovers.

At September 30, 2020, the Company had a line of credit totaling $2,500 million through a multi-currency revolving credit agreement with a group of banks, of which $1,662 million was available. The credit agreement expires in September 2024; however, we have the right to request a one-year extension of the expiration date on an annual basis, which request may result in changes to the current terms and conditions of the credit agreement. Advances from the credit agreement can be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and for the refinancing of existing indebtedness. The credit agreement requires the payment of an annual facility fee, the amount of which is dependent upon the Company’s credit ratings. Although a lowering of the Company’s credit ratings would increase the cost of future debt, it would not limit the Company’s ability to use the credit agreement nor would it accelerate the repayment of any outstanding borrowings.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company was authorized to sell up to $2,500 million of short-term commercial paper notes. As of September 30, 2020, $838 million of commercial paper notes were outstanding, and the largest amount of commercial paper notes outstanding during the current-year quarter was $874 million.
The Company’s credit agreements and indentures governing certain debt securities contain various covenants, the violation of which would limit or preclude the use of the credit agreements for future borrowings, or might accelerate the maturity of the related outstanding borrowings covered by the indentures. Based on the Company’s rating level at September 30, 2020, 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, 2020, the Company's debt to debt-shareholders' equity ratio was 0.55 to 1.0. We are in compliance and expect to remain in compliance with all covenants set forth in the credit agreement and indentures.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company manages foreign currency transaction and translation risk by utilizing derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, including forward exchange contracts, costless collar contracts, cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign denominated debt designated as net investment hedges. The derivative financial instrument contracts are with major investment grade financial institutions and 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 14 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 COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted and we expect it to continue to negatively impact our business and results of operations.  As we cannot predict the ultimate duration or scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ultimate negative financial impact to our results cannot be reasonably estimated, but could be material.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020. Based on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2020, 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, 2020 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, 2020, we are continually monitoring and assessing the changing business environment resulting from COVID-19 on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.
