PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts

1. Management representation
In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2019, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 and cash flows for the nine months then ended. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current-year presentation.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events that have occurred through the date these financial statements were issued. On April 29, 2019, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement under which the Company will acquire LORD Corporation ("Lord") for approximately $3.7 billion in cash. The acquisition remains subject to certain closing conditions. The Company intends to pay for the Lord acquisition with new debt.

2. New accounting pronouncements
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-14, "Compensation--Retirement Benefits--Defined Benefit Plans--General." ASU 2018-14 aims to improve disclosure effectiveness by adding, removing or clarifying certain disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2018-14 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement." ASU 2018-13 aims to improve disclosure effectiveness by adding, modifying or removing certain disclosure requirements for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of the ASU for any removed or modified disclosure. Adoption of additional disclosures may be delayed until their effective dates. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2018-13 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." ASU 2018-02 allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJ Act) reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate. The amendments also require certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. ASU 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted in any period after the issuance of the update. The amendments in this update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the TCJ Act is recognized. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2018-02 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities." ASU 2017-12 provides targeted improvements to Topic 815 accounting for hedging activities by expanding an entity’s ability to hedge non-financial and financial risk components and reduce complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk. The guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The guidance also eases certain documentation and assessment requirements and modifies the accounting for components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the update. ASU 2017-12 should be applied using a modified retrospective approach for cash flow and net investment hedge relationships that exist on the date of adoption and prospectively for presentation and disclosure requirements. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2017-12 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial statements.



- 7 -



In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost." ASU 2017-07 requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. ASU 2017-07 also provides that only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization, when applicable. ASU 2017-07 should be applied retrospectively for the income statement presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost and prospectively, on or after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. On July 1, 2018, the Company retrospectively adopted ASU 2017-07 and reclassified prior-year amounts using a practical expedient that permits the usage of amounts previously disclosed in the retirement benefits note. As a result, $5,204 and $4,138 of expense was reclassified from cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, to other (income), net for the prior-year quarter. Expense of $19,409 and $12,950 was reclassified from cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, to other (income), net for the first nine months of fiscal 2018.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory." ASU 2016-16 provides that an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Consequently, the amendments in ASU 2016-16 eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. The Company adopted ASU 2016-16 on July 1, 2018 and recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of approximately $19 million to reduce retained earnings.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." ASU 2016-15 provides specific guidance on several cash flow classification issues to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified within the statement of cash flows. On July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-15 and retrospectively adjusted its Statement of Cash Flows. These retrospective adjustments were not material.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on its financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases." ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to put most leases with terms greater than 12 months on their balance sheet by recognizing a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing their right to use the asset during the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election, by class of underlying asset, not to recognize the corresponding assets and lease liabilities. Lessee recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows will not change significantly from existing guidance and lessor accounting is largely unchanged.  ASU 2016-02 also changes the definition of a lease and requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures that provide information about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.  ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018.  Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this ASU is planned for the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company has developed a project plan to guide the implementation of ASU 2016-02. In addition, the Company is identifying and implementing appropriate changes to its business processes and controls to support the accounting and disclosure requirements under the new guidance. The Company continues to evaluate the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the financial statements and expects to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for its operating leases in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities." ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments (excluding equity method investments and investments that are consolidated) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value may be measured at cost, adjusted for impairment and observable price changes. ASU 2016-01 also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments, eliminates the disclosure of the assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at cost on the balance sheet and requires the exit price to be used when measuring fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. Under ASU 2016-01, changes in fair value (resulting from instrument-specific credit risk) are presented separately in other comprehensive income for liabilities measured using the fair value option. Financial assets and liabilities are presented separately by measurement category and type, either on the balance sheet or in the financial statement disclosures. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 on July 1, 2018 and reclassified approximately $2 million of unrealized gains from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) to retained earnings.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenues with Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that a company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve this principle, a company must apply five steps including identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when (or as) the company satisfies the performance obligation. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 on July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method and recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to increase retained earnings by approximately $5 million. See Note 3 for further discussion.

3. Revenue recognition

Revenue is derived primarily from the sale of products in a variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services in a contract (i.e., performance obligations) are transferred to the customer. Control is transferred when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the goods or services. A majority of the Company’s revenues are recognized at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment. However, a portion of the Company’s revenues are recognized over time if the customer simultaneously receives control as the Company performs work under a contract, if the customer controls the asset as it is being produced, or if the product being produced for the customer has no alternative use and the Company has a contractual right to payment. For contracts recognized over time, the Company uses the cost-to-cost, efforts expended or units of delivery method depending on the nature of the contract, including length of production time.

A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation. When there are multiple performance obligations within a contract, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price. The primary method used to estimate a standalone selling price is the price observed in standalone sales to customers of the same product or service. Revenue is recognized when the appropriate revenue recognition criteria for the individual performance obligations have been satisfied.
The Company considers the contractual consideration payable by the customer and assesses variable consideration that may affect the total transaction price. Variable consideration primarily includes prompt pay discounts, rebates and volume discounts and is included in the estimated transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount, including whether the estimate should be constrained in order to avoid a significant reversal of revenue in a future period. These estimates are based on historical experience, anticipated performance under the terms of the contract and the Company’s best judgment at the time.
Payment terms vary by customer and the geographical location of the customer. The time between when revenue is recognized and payment is due is not significant. The Company’s contracts with customers generally do not include significant financing components or noncash consideration.
Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs are treated as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales. The costs to obtain a contract where the amortization period for the related asset is one year or less are expensed as incurred.
There is generally no unilateral right to return products. The Company primarily offers an assurance-type standard warranty that the product will conform to certain specifications for a defined period of time or period of usage after delivery. This type of warranty does not represent a separate performance obligation.
Disaggregation of revenue
Revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated by technology platforms for the Diversified Industrial Segment, by product platforms for the Aerospace Systems Segment and by geographic location for the total Company.
The Diversified Industrial Segment is an aggregation of several business units, which manufacture motion-control and fluid power system components for builders and users of various types of manufacturing, packaging, processing, transportation, agricultural, construction, and military vehicles and equipment. Contracts consist of individual purchase orders for standard product, blanket purchase orders and production contracts. Blanket purchase orders are often associated with individual purchase orders and have terms and conditions which are subject to a master supply or distributor agreement. Individual production contracts, some of which may include multiple performance obligations, are typically for products to be manufactured to the customer's specifications. Revenue in the Diversified Industrial Segment is typically recognized at the time of product shipment, but a portion of revenue may be recognized over time for installation services or in situations where the product being manufactured has no alternative use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment.

The Aerospace Systems Segment produces hydraulic, fuel, pneumatic and electro-mechanical systems and components, which are utilized on virtually every domestic commercial, military and general aviation aircraft and which also perform a vital role in naval vessels and land-based weapon systems. Contracts generally consist of blanket purchase orders and individual long-term production contracts. Blanket purchase orders, which have terms and conditions subject to long-term supply agreements, are typically associated with individual purchase orders. Revenue in the Aerospace Systems Segment is typically recognized at the time of product shipment, but a portion of revenue may be recognized over time in situations where the customer controls the asset as it is being produced or the product being manufactured has no alternative use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment.

The majority of revenues from the Aerospace Systems Segment is 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.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, net contract liabilities increased $6 million from the July 1, 2018 net contract liabilities amount of $38 million. The increase in net contract liabilities was primarily due to advance payments from customers exceeding revenue recognized during the period. During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, approximately $35 million of revenue was recognized that was included in the contract liabilities at July 1, 2018.
Remaining performance obligations
The Company’s 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. The Company believes its backlog represents its unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations. Backlog at March 31, 2019 was $4,241 million, of which approximately 90 percent is expected to be recognized as revenue within the next 12 months and the balance thereafter.
Adoption of ASU 2014-09
On July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective approach. The provisions of ASU 2014-09 were applied only to contracts that were not completed as of July 1, 2018. Comparative prior-period financial information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the comparative prior-year period.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, 925,721 and 471,008 common shares subject to equity-based awards, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their exercise would be anti-dilutive.

5. Share repurchase program
The Company has a program to repurchase its common shares. On October 22, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an increase in the overall number of shares authorized for repurchase under the program so that, beginning on such date, the aggregate number of shares authorized for repurchase was 35 million. There is no limitation on the number of shares that can be repurchased in a fiscal year. There is no expiration date for this program. Repurchases may be funded primarily from operating cash flows and commercial paper borrowings and the shares are initially held as treasury shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 1,161,937 shares at an average price, including commissions, of $172.13 per share. During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 4,464,390 shares at an average price, including commissions, of $168.00 per share.


6. Trade accounts receivable, net
Trade accounts receivable are initially recorded at their net collectible amount and are generally recorded at the time the revenue from the sales transaction is recorded. Receivables are written off to bad debt primarily when, in the judgment of the Company, the receivable is deemed to be uncollectible due to the insolvency of the debtor. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $8,554 and $9,672 at March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.

As of March 31, 2019, approximately $12 million in severance payments had been made relating to business realignment charges and acquisition integration charges incurred during fiscal 2019, the remainder of which are expected to be paid by March 31, 2020. Severance payments relating to prior-year business realignment and acquisition integration actions are being made as required. Remaining severance payments related to current-year and prior-year business realignment actions of approximately $11 million 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 and acquisition integration actions described above, the timing and amount of which are not known at this time.

13. Income taxes
On December 22, 2017, the TCJ Act was enacted into law. The TCJ Act significantly reforms the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by among other things, establishing a flat corporate income tax rate of 21 percent and creating a territorial tax system (with a one-time transition tax imposed on previously undistributed foreign earnings and profits).
The Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 118, which provided guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the TCJ Act. SAB 118 provided a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the TCJ Act's enactment date for companies to complete the applicable accounting under Topic 740. In accordance with SAB 118, and based on the information available, the Company recorded additional tax expense of $14,485 related to the estimated one-time transition tax during the three months ended December 31, 2018. This adjustment is a result of the Company's analysis of related proposed regulations that were issued subsequent to the recording of the previous provisional amount. The Company considers its provisional accounting for the effects of the TCJ Act, which includes the remeasurement of deferred tax balances and related valuation allowances, the one-time transition tax and the repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings, as being complete and as meeting the recognition guidance under Topic 740.
During the period ended September 30, 2018, the Company made the accounting policy election to treat taxes related to Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income as a current period expense when incurred.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The Company is open to assessment of its federal income tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years after 2011, and its state and local returns for fiscal years after 2012. The Company is also open to assessment for foreign jurisdictions for fiscal years after 2009. Unrecognized tax benefits reflect the difference between positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns and the amounts reflected in the financial statements.
As of March 31, 2019, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $140,327, all of which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The accrued interest related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluded from the amounts above, is $23,342. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits could be reduced by up to approximately $100,000 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
The Company’s 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, equity investments and available-for-sale debt securities. Deposits are recorded at cost, and equity investments and available-for-sale debt securities are recorded at fair value. Changes in fair value related to available-for-sale debt securities are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss). Upon the adoption of ASU 2016-01 on July 1, 2018, changes in fair value of equity investments are recognized in net income. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-01, these changes in fair value were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive (loss).

Gross unrealized gains and losses related to both equity investments and available-for-sale debt securities were not material as of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018. There were no facts or circumstances that indicated the unrealized losses were other than temporary.

There were no investments in available-for-sale debt securities at March 31, 2019. The contractual maturities of available-for-sale debt securities were predominantly one to three years at June 30, 2018. Actual maturities of available-for-sale debt securities may differ from their contractual maturities as the Company has the ability to liquidate the available-for-sale debt securities after giving appropriate notice to the issuer.

The fair value of long-term debt is classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company utilizes 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 the Company does not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the counterparties. The Company does 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 cross-currency swap, forward exchange contracts and costless collar contracts are reflected on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has not entered into any master netting arrangements.
Gains or losses on derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through the cost of sales caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Gains or losses on derivatives that are hedges are adjusted to fair value through accumulated other comprehensive (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.
The cross-currency swap contracts have been designated as hedging instruments. The forward exchange and costless collar contracts have not been designated as hedging instruments and are considered to be economic hedges of forecasted transactions.
Net unrealized gains of $14 million related to forward exchange contracts were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2019. All other gains or losses on derivative financial instruments that were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were not material.

The fair values of the equity securities, corporate bonds and asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are determined using the closing market price reported in the active market in which the fund is traded or the market price for similar assets that are traded in an active market.
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 fair value of the cross-currency swap contracts also utilizes a present value cash flow model that has been adjusted to reflect the credit risk of either the Company or the counterparty.
Investments measured at net asset value primarily consist of investments in fixed income mutual funds, which are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. These investments have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The Company has the ability to liquidate these investments after giving appropriate notice to the issuer.
The primary investment objective for all investments is the preservation of principal and liquidity while earning income.

There are no other financial assets or financial liabilities that are marked to market on a recurring basis. Fair values are transferred between levels of the fair value hierarchy when facts and circumstances indicate that a change in the method of estimating the fair value of a financial asset or financial liability is warranted.

PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION
FORM 10-Q
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2019
AND COMPARABLE PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2018
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.
The Company’s 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. The Company believes the leading economic indicators of these markets that have a strong correlation to the Company’s future order rates are as follows:

Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) on manufacturing activity specific to regions around the world with respect to most mobile and industrial markets;
Global aircraft miles flown and global revenue passenger miles for commercial aerospace markets and U.S. Department of Defense spending for military aerospace markets; and
Housing starts with respect to the North American residential air conditioning market and certain mobile construction markets.
A PMI above 50 indicates that the manufacturing activity specific to a region of the world in the mobile and industrial markets is expanding. A PMI below 50 indicates the opposite. Recent PMI levels for some regions around the world were as follows:
 
March 31, 2019
 
June 30, 2018
 
March 31, 2018
United States
55.3

56.6

China
50.8

 
51.0

 
51.0

Brazil
52.8

 
49.8

 
53.4

Both global aircraft miles flown and available revenue passenger miles increased by approximately six percent from their comparable fiscal 2018 levels. The Company anticipates that U.S. Department of Defense spending with regard to appropriations and operations and maintenance for the U.S. Government’s fiscal 2019 will be approximately four percent higher than the comparable fiscal 2018 level.
Housing starts in March 2019 were approximately 14 percent lower than housing starts in March 2018 and approximately three percent lower than housing starts in June 2018.


- 20 -



The Company believes 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. The Company believes it can meet its strategic objectives by:

Serving the customer and continuously enhancing its experience with the Company;
Successfully executing its Win Strategy initiatives relating to engaged people, premier customer experience, profitable growth and financial performance;
Maintaining its 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 its 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. In addition, the Company will continue to assess its existing businesses and 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, Results by Business Segment, Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Net sales for the current-year quarter decreased compared to the prior-year quarter due to lower sales in the Diversified Industrial North American and International businesses, partially offset by higher sales in the Aerospace Systems Segment. Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 increased compared to the same prior-year period due to an increase in sales in the Aerospace Systems Segment. Diversified Industrial Segment net sales remained flat during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as an increase in sales in the North American businesses was offset by a decrease in sales in the International businesses. The effect of currency rate changes decreased net sales by approximately $111 million in the current-year quarter ($105 million of which was attributable to the Diversified Industrial International businesses) and by $241 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 ($223 million of which was attributable to the Diversified Industrial International businesses).




- 21 -



Gross profit margin (calculated as net sales minus cost of sales, divided by net sales) increased in the current-year quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 2019 primarily due to higher margins in the Aerospace Systems Segment driven by increased aftermarket and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) volume and profitability. Diversified Industrial Segment margins increased slightly in the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019 primarily due to higher margins in the Diversified Industrial International businesses. Cost of sales for the current-year quarter and prior-year quarter also included business realignment charges and acquisition integration costs of $2.8 million and $9.5 million, respectively, and $10.9 million and $32.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased during the current-year quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 2019 primarily due to the benefits from prior-year restructuring activities and the Company's simplification initiative, lower amortization expense and lower incentive compensation. Favorable market fluctuations related to investments associated with the Company's deferred compensation program, partially offset by unfavorable changes in the related liabilities, also contributed to lower expenses in the current-year quarter. However, the net impact of the market fluctuations related to these assets and liabilities increased expenses during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 compared to the same prior-year period. Selling, general and administrative expenses also included business realignment charges and acquisition integration costs of $1.8 million and $7.7 million for the current-year and prior-year quarter, respectively, and $9.7 million and $24.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Interest expense for the current-year quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019 decreased from the comparable prior-year periods due to lower average debt outstanding.

Effective tax rate for the current-year quarter was higher than the comparable prior-year quarter due an overall decrease in discrete tax benefits, partially offset by a reduced U.S. income tax rate resulting from the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJ Act). The effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was lower than the comparable prior-year period primarily due to a net decrease in discrete tax costs resulting from the enactment of the TCJ Act that were recorded in the prior-year period. The Company expects the fiscal 2019 effective tax rate will be approximately 23 percent.
