2. ACQUISITIONS
During the last three fiscal years, the Company completed the acquisitions of Schroth, Y&F/Tactair, DDC, Breeze-Eastern, PneuDraulics, Pexco Aerospace, Adams Rite Aerospace GmbH and Telair Cargo Group. Additionally, during the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company acquired three separate aerospace product lines (collectively, the “Third Quarter 2017 Acquisitions”). The Company accounted for the acquisitions using the acquisition method and included the results of operations of the acquisitions in its consolidated financial statements from the effective date of each acquisition. As of
September 30, 2017
, the one-year measurement period is open for Schroth and the Third Quarter 2017 Acquisitions and therefore the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to these acquisitions are subject to adjustment until the end of the respective one-year measurement period. The Company is in the process of obtaining a third-party valuation of certain tangible and intangible assets of the Third Quarter 2017 Acquisitions; therefore, the values attributed to those acquired assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements are subject to adjustment. Pro forma net sales and results of operations for the acquisitions, had they occurred at the beginning of the applicable fiscal year ended
September 30, 2017
or
2016
, are not material and, accordingly, are not provided.
The acquisitions strengthen and expand the Company’s position to design, produce and supply highly engineered proprietary aerospace components in niche markets with significant aftermarket content and provide opportunities to create value through the application of our three core value-driven operating strategies (obtaining profitable new business, improving our cost structure, and providing highly engineered value-added products to customers). The purchase price paid for each acquisition reflects the current earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and cash flows, as well as the future EBITDA and cash flows expected to be generated by the business, which are driven in most cases by the recurring aftermarket consumption over the life of a particular aircraft, estimated to be approximately
25
to
30 years
.
Third Quarter 2017 Acquisitions
– During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company acquired the Third Quarter 2017 Acquisitions for a total purchase price of approximately
$106.3 million
in cash, which includes working capital settlements totaling
$1.0 million
paid in the third and fourth quarter of 2017. All three product lines consist primarily of proprietary, sole source products with significant aftermarket content. The products include highly engineered aerospace controls, quick disconnect couplings, and communication electronics. Each product line acquired was consolidated into an existing TransDigm reporting unit within TransDigm's Power & Control segment. The Company expects that approximately
$62 million
of goodwill recognized for the acquisitions will be deductible for tax purposes over
15
years and approximately
$9 million
of goodwill recognized for the acquisitions will not be deductible for tax purposes.
Schroth
– On February 22, 2017, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Schroth Safety Products GmbH and certain aviation and defense assets and liabilities from subsidiaries of Takata Corporation (collectively, "Schroth"), for a total purchase price of approximately
$89.7 million
, of which
$79.7 million
was paid in cash (including a working capital settlement of
$0.8 million
paid in the third quarter of 2017) and the remaining approximately
$10.0 million
of which is accrued primarily related to an indemnity holdback to be settled within the one-year measurement period.
In connection with the settlement of a Department of Justice investigation into the competitive effects of the acquisition, during the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company committed to dispose of the Schroth business. Therefore, Schroth was classified as held-for-sale as of September 30, 2017. The results of operations of Schroth are reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Schroth designs and manufactures proprietary, highly engineered, advanced
safety systems for aviation, racing and military ground vehicles around the world. Prior to being classified as discontinued operations, Schroth was included in TransDigm's Airframe segment.
The loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income includes a
$32.0 million
impairment charge to write down Schroth’s assets to estimated fair value. The impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 was based on an internal assessment around the recovery of the Schroth assets. Schroth’s assets have been recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017. Further disclosure related to Schroth’s discontinued operations is included in Note 22.
Y&F/Tactair
– On September 23, 2016, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Young & Franklin, Inc., the parent company of Tactair Fluid Controls, Inc., for approximately
$258.8 million
in cash, which includes a working capital settlement of
$2.7 million
paid in the first quarter of 2017. Y&F/Tactair manufactures proprietary, highly engineered valves and actuators. Y&F/Tactair is included in TransDigm’s Power & Control segment. The purchase price includes approximately
$74.5 million
of tax benefits being realized by the Company over a
15
-year period that began in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company expects that approximately
$124 million
of goodwill recognized for the acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes over
15
years and approximately
$8 million
of goodwill recognized for the acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.
Data Device Corporation
– On June 23, 2016, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of ILC Holdings, Inc., the parent company of Data Device Corporation, for a total purchase price of approximately
$997.7 million
in cash, which includes a working capital settlement of
$1.4 million
received in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. TransDigm financed the acquisition of DDC with cash proceeds from the issuance of senior subordinated notes due in June 2026 and term loans. DDC is a supplier of databus and power controls and related products that are used primarily in military avionics, commercial aerospace and space applications. DDC is included in TransDigm’s Power & Control segment.
The total purchase price of DDC was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon management’s estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. To the extent the purchase price exceeded the estimated fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, such excess was allocated to goodwill. The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the transaction date (in thousands).

$28.7 million
related to the original merger consideration and
$6.2 million
represented the settlement reached with the dissenting shareholders resolving the dispute over the dissenting shareholders’ statutory appraisal action. Of the
$6.2 million
settlement,
$4.9 million
was recorded as selling and administrative expense and
$1.3 million
was recorded as interest expense for statutory interest arising under Delaware General Corporate Law. Once the Company paid the
$34.9 million
settlement to the dissenting shareholders on October 20, 2016, the dissenting stockholders fully released their claims against the Company. Breeze-Eastern manufactures high performance lifting and pulling devices for military and civilian aircraft, including rescue hoists, winches and cargo hooks, and weapons-lifting systems.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
—The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of TD Group and subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to the current period annual and interim final statements as during the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company committed to disposing of Schroth. As of September 30, 2017, Schroth was classified as held-for-sale and the results of operations for Schroth are reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 22, “Discontinued Operations,” for further information.
Revenue Recognition and Related Allowances
—Revenue is recognized from the sale of products when title and risk of loss passes to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment. Substantially all product sales are made pursuant to firm, fixed-price purchase orders received from customers. Provisions for estimated returns, uncollectible accounts and the cost of repairs under contract warranty provisions are provided for in the same period as the related revenues are recorded and are principally based on historical results modified, as appropriate, by the most current information available. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, it is possible that actual results may vary from the estimates.
Shipping and Handling Costs
—Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income.
Research and Development Costs
—The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred and classifies such amounts in selling and administrative expenses. The expense recognized for research and development costs for the years ended
September 30, 2017
,
2016
and
2015
was approximately
$73.8 million
,
$58.6 million
, and
$48.3 million
, respectively.
Cash Equivalents
—The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
—The Company reserves for amounts determined to be uncollectible based on specific identification of losses and estimated losses based on historical experience. The allowance also incorporates a provision for the estimated impact of disputes with customers. The determination of the amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts is subject to significant levels of judgment and estimation by management. If circumstances change or economic conditions deteriorate or improve, the allowance for doubtful accounts could increase or decrease.
Inventories
—Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost of inventories is generally determined by the average cost and the first-in, first-out (FIFO) methods and includes material, labor and overhead related to the manufacturing process. Provision for potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory is made based on management’s analysis of inventory levels and future sales forecasts.
Property, Plant and Equipment
—Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and include improvements which significantly increase capacities or extend the useful lives of existing plant and equipment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: land improvements from
10
to
20
years, buildings and improvements from
5
to
30
years, machinery and equipment from
2
to
10
years and furniture and fixtures from
3
to
10
years. Net gains or losses related to asset dispositions are recognized in earnings in the period in which dispositions occur. Routine maintenance, repairs and replacements are expensed as incurred.
Property, plant and equipment is assessed for potential impairment whenever indicators of impairment are present by determining whether the carrying value of the property can be recovered through projected, undiscounted cash flows from future operations over the property’s remaining estimated useful life. Any impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is measured based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including the discounted value of estimated future cash flows.
Debt Issuance Costs, Premiums and Discounts
—The cost of obtaining financing as well as premiums and discounts are amortized using the effective interest method over the terms of the respective obligations as a component of interest expense within the consolidated statements of income. Debt issuance costs are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liabilities.
Intangible Assets
—Intangible assets consist of identifiable intangibles acquired or recognized in accounting for the acquisitions (trademarks, trade names, technology, order backlog and other intangible assets) and goodwill. Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives (i.e., trademarks and trade names) are subject to annual impairment testing. Management determines fair value using a discounted future cash flow analysis or other accepted valuation techniques. The Company performs an annual impairment test for goodwill and other intangible assets as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, or more frequently, if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce fair value below current value.
At the time of goodwill impairment testing, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, and whether it is therefore necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The quantitative goodwill impairment test consists of two steps. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit (as defined) with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired, and the second step of the goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. The second step measures the amount of impairment, if any, by comparing the carrying value of the goodwill associated with a reporting unit to the implied fair value of the goodwill derived from the estimated overall fair value of the reporting unit and the individual fair values of the other assets and liabilities of the reporting unit.
GAAP requires that the annual, and any interim, impairment assessment be performed at the reporting unit level. The reporting unit level is one level below an operating segment. Substantially all goodwill was determined and recognized for each reporting unit pursuant to the accounting for the merger or acquisition as of the date of each transaction. With respect to acquisitions integrated into an existing reporting unit, any acquired goodwill is combined with the goodwill of the reporting unit.
The impairment test for indefinite lived intangible assets consists of a comparison between their fair values and carrying values. If the carrying amounts of intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives exceed their fair values, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to the sum of any such excesses.
The Company assesses the recoverability of its amortizable intangible assets only when indicators of impairment are present by determining whether the amortization over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected, undiscounted cash flows from future operations. Amortization of amortizable intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: technology from
20
to
22
years, order backlog over
one year
, and other intangible assets over
20
years.
Stock-Based Compensation
—The Company records stock-based compensation expense using the fair value method of accounting. Compensation expense is recorded over the vesting periods of the stock options, restricted stock and other stock-based incentives. No expense is recognized for any stock options, restricted stock and other stock-based incentives ultimately forfeited because the recipients fail to meet vesting requirements.
Income Taxes
—The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred taxes are recorded for the difference between the book and tax basis of various assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Contingencies
—During the ordinary course of business, the Company is from time to time threatened with, or may become a party to, legal actions and other proceedings. While the Company is currently involved in certain legal proceedings, it believes the results of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Estimates
—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
—The term “comprehensive income (loss)” represents the change in stockholders’ equity (deficit) from transactions and other events and circumstances resulting from non-stockholder sources. The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, consisting principally of fair value adjustments to its interest rate swap and cap agreements (net of tax), cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments and pension liability adjustments (net of tax), is reported separately in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
—The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries located outside the United States are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average monthly exchange rates prevailing during the period. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are recognized currently in income, and those resulting from translation of financial statements are accumulated as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) for the period. Foreign currency gains or losses recognized currently in income from changes in exchange rates were immaterial to our results of operations.
Earnings per Share
—Earnings per share information is determined using the two-class method, which includes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and other securities that participate in dividends (“participating securities”). Our vested stock options are considered “participating securities” because they include non-forfeitable rights to dividends. In applying the two-class method, earnings are allocated to both common stock shares and participating securities based on their respective weighted-average shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share information may include the additional effect of other securities, if dilutive, in which case the dilutive effect of such securities is calculated using the treasury stock method. Contingently issuable shares are not included in earnings per share until the period in which the contingency is satisfied; therefore, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.
4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, which creates a new topic in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers
.”
In addition to superseding and replacing nearly all existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, ASC 606 establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model; changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time; provides new and more detailed guidance on specific topics; and expands and improves disclosures about revenue. The new revenue standards may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. The guidance is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods, including interim periods therein, beginning October 1, 2018, which is the Company’s planned date of adoption. The Company preliminarily expects to use the full retrospective method. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of the standard, and the planned adoption method is subject to change. For each reporting unit, we have evaluated a representative sample of contracts and other agreements with our customers and evaluated the provisions contained within these contracts and agreements in consideration of the five step model specified within ASC 606. We are in the process of documenting the impact of the standard on our current accounting policies and practices in order to identify material differences, if any, that would result from applying the new requirements to our revenue contracts. We continue to make progress on our assessment of ASC 606 and are also in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, on changes to our business processes, systems, and controls to support recognition and disclosure requirements under ASC 606.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, "Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments," a new standard intended to simplify the accounting for measurement period adjustments in a business combination. Measurement period adjustments are changes to provisional amounts recorded when the accounting for a business combination is incomplete as of the end of a reporting period. The measurement period can extend for up to a year following the transaction date. During the measurement period, companies may make adjustments to provisional amounts when information necessary to complete the measurement is received. The new guidance requires companies to recognize these adjustments, including any related impacts to net income, in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined. Companies are no longer required to retroactively apply measurement period adjustments to all periods presented. The guidance was effective for the Company on October 1, 2016. However, as early adoption was permissible, the Company adopted the pronouncement beginning October 1, 2015. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (ASC 842),” which will require that a lessee recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with a lease term of more than twelve months, with the result being the recognition of a right of use asset and a lease liability. The guidance is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods, including interim periods therein, beginning October 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The guidance requires the recognition of the income tax effects of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, thus eliminating additional paid in capital pools. The guidance also allows for the employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting. In addition, the guidance allows for a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur rather than on an estimated basis. ASU 2016-09 was effective for the Company for annual reporting periods, including interim periods therein, beginning October 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. As early adoption is permissible, the Company adopted this standard in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. Changes were applied prospectively in accordance with the standard and prior periods were not adjusted. In addition, the Company continued to account for forfeitures on an estimated basis.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13)," which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows—Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments," which clarifies existing guidance related to accounting for cash receipts and cash payments and classification on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early adopt this standard in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on its consolidated statement of cash flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” to eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test in order to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (ASC 718): Scope of Modification Accounting," which provides clarity on which changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply the modification accounting provisions required in ASC 718. The standard is effective for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities,” which amends the FASB’s hedge accounting model to enable entities to better portray their risk management activities in financial statements. 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. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Trade Receivable Securitization Facility
During fiscal 2014, the Company established a trade receivable securitization facility (the “Securitization Facility”). The Securitization Facility effectively increases the Company’s borrowing capacity depending on the amount of the domestic operations’ trade accounts receivable. The Securitization Facility includes the right for the Company to exercise annual
one year
extensions as long as there have been no termination events as defined by the agreement. The Company uses the proceeds from the Securitization Facility as an alternative to other forms of debt, effectively reducing borrowing costs. In August 2017, the Company amended the Securitization Facility to increase the borrowing capacity to
$300 million
and extend the maturity date to
August 1, 2018
. As of
September 30, 2017
, the Company has borrowed
$300 million
under the Securitization Facility. The Securitization Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s domestic operations’ trade accounts receivable.
Repurchase of Senior Subordinated Notes due 2021
On October 13, 2016, the Company announced a cash tender offer for any and all of its outstanding 2021 Notes. On October 27, 2016, the Company redeemed a principal amount of approximately
$158 million
in 2021 Notes outstanding for total consideration of
$1,060.50
(plus accrued and unpaid interest) for each
$1,000
aggregate principal amount. The total consideration included an early tender premium of
$30.00
per
$1,000
principal amount of 2021 Notes payable only with respect to each note validly tendered and not revoked on or before October 26, 2016. On November 28, 2016, pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2021 Notes, the Company redeemed the remaining principal of
$342 million
in 2021 Notes outstanding at a redemption price of
105.625%
of the principal amount (plus accrued and unpaid interest).
The Company recorded refinancing costs of
$31.9 million
during the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2017
representing debt issuance costs expensed in conjunction with the redemption of the 2021 Notes. The costs consisted of the premium of
$28.8 million
paid to redeem the
$500 million
of 2021 Notes and the write-off of
$3.1 million
in unamortized debt issuance costs.
Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement
On October 14, 2016, the Company entered into an Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement (the “Assumption Agreement”) with Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and as a lender, in connection with the 2016 term loans. The Assumption Agreement, among other things, provides for (i) additional tranche F term loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to
$650 million
, which were fully drawn on October 14, 2016, and (ii) additional delayed draw tranche F term loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed
$500 million
, which were fully drawn on October 27, 2016, the proceeds of which were used to repurchase the Company's 2021 Notes. The terms and conditions that apply to the additional tranche F term loans and the additional delayed draw tranche F term loans are substantially the same as the terms and conditions that apply to the tranche F term loans under the 2016 term loans immediately prior to the Assumption Agreement.
The Company capitalized
$11.3 million
and expensed
$0.2 million
in refinancing costs associated with the Assumption Agreement during the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2017
.
Issuance of Senior Subordinated Notes
On March 1, 2017, TransDigm Inc. issued
$300 million
in aggregate principal amount of its 2025 Notes at an issue price of
101.5%
of the principal amount. The new notes offered were an additional issuance to our existing
$450 million
of 2025 Notes. The new notes offered, together with the existing 2025 Notes, are treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture.
The 2025 Notes bear interest at the rate of
6.5%
per annum, which accrues from November 15, 2016 and is payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2017. The 2025 Notes mature on May 15, 2025, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased, and are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the indentures governing the 2025 Notes.
In addition to the premium of
$4.5 million
recorded upon the issuance of the additional
$300 million
of 2025 Notes, the Company capitalized
$0.4 million
and expensed
$3.7 million
in refinancing costs representing fees associated with the issuance of the additional
$300 million
of 2025 Notes during the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2017

14. ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES
Our operations and facilities are subject to a number of federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations that govern, among other things, discharges of pollutants into the air and water, the generation, handling, storage and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes, the remediation of contamination and the health and safety of our employees. Environmental laws and regulations may require that the Company investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations. Certain facilities and third-party sites utilized by the Company have been identified as potentially responsible parties under the federal superfund laws and comparable state laws. The Company is currently involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of sites under applicable laws.
Estimates of the Company’s environmental liabilities are based on current facts, laws, regulations and technology. These estimates take into consideration the Company’s prior experience and professional judgment of the Company’s environmental advisors. Estimates of the Company’s environmental liabilities are further subject to uncertainties regarding the nature and extent of site contamination, the range of remediation alternatives available, evolving remediation standards, imprecise engineering evaluations and cost estimates, the extent of corrective actions that may be required and the number and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties, as well as the extent of their responsibility for the remediation.
Accordingly, as investigation and remediation proceed, it is likely that adjustments in the Company’s accruals will be necessary to reflect new information. The amounts of any such adjustments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in a given period. Based on currently available information, however, the Company does not believe that future environmental costs in excess of those accrued with respect to sites for which the Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.
Environmental liabilities are recorded when the liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable, which generally is not later than at completion of a feasibility study or when the Company has recommended a remedy or has committed to an appropriate plan of action. The Company also takes into consideration the estimated period of time in which payments will be required. The liabilities are reviewed periodically and, as investigation and remediation proceed, adjustments are made as necessary.
Liabilities for losses from environmental remediation obligations do not consider the effects of inflation and anticipated expenditures are not discounted to their present value. The liabilities are not offset by possible recoveries from insurance carriers or other third parties, but do reflect anticipated allocations among potentially responsible parties at federal superfund sites or similar state-managed sites, third party indemnity obligations, and an assessment of the likelihood that such parties will fulfill their obligations at such sites.
The Company’s consolidated balance sheets includes environmental remediation obligations at
September 30, 2017
and
2016
of
$39.9 million
and
$46.1 million
, respectively.

Primary customers of this segment are off-road vehicle suppliers and subsystem suppliers, child restraint system suppliers, satellite and space system suppliers and manufacturers of heavy equipment used in mining, construction and other industries.
The primary measurement used by management to review and assess the operating performance of each segment is EBITDA As Defined. The Company defines EBITDA As Defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization plus certain non-operating items recorded as corporate expenses including refinancing costs, acquisition-related costs, transaction-related costs and non-cash compensation charges incurred in connection with the Company’s stock option plans. Acquisition-related costs represent accounting adjustments to inventory associated with acquisitions of businesses and product lines that were charged to cost of sales when the inventory was sold; costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and product lines into the Company’s operations, facility relocation costs and other acquisition-related costs; transaction related costs comprising deal fees; legal, financial and tax diligence expenses and valuation costs that are required to be expensed as incurred and other acquisition accounting adjustments.
EBITDA As Defined is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP. Although the Company uses EBITDA As Defined to assess the performance of its business and for various other purposes, the use of this non-GAAP financial measure as an analytical tool has limitations, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results of operations as reported in accordance with GAAP.
The Company’s segments are reported on the same basis used internally for evaluating performance and for allocating resources. The accounting policies for each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at values based on market prices, which creates intercompany profit on intersegment sales or transfers that is eliminated in consolidation. Intersegment sales were insignificant for the periods presented below. Certain corporate-level expenses are allocated to the operating segments.

17. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company’s stock compensation plans are designed to assist the Company in attracting, retaining, motivating and rewarding key employees, directors or consultants, and promoting the creation of long-term value for stockholders by closely aligning the interests of these individuals with those of the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s stock compensation plans provide for the granting of stock options, restricted stock and other stock-based incentives.
Non-cash stock compensation expense recognized by the Company during the years ended
September 30, 2017
,
2016
and
2015
was
$45.5 million
,
$48.3 million
and
$31.5 million
, respectively.
The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the fiscal years ended
September 30, 2017
,
2016
and
2015
was
$67.11
,
$57.47
and
$65.57
, respectively.
Compensation expense is recognized based upon probability assessments of awards that are expected to vest in future periods. Such probability assessments are subject to revision and, therefore, unrecognized compensation expense is subject to future changes in estimate. As of
September 30, 2017
, there was approximately
$52.4 million
of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested awards expected to vest, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
2.6 years
.
The fair value of the Company’s employee stock options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for all options granted during the fiscal years ended:

The risk-free interest rate is based upon the Treasury bond rates as of the grant date. The average expected life of stock-based awards is based on the Company’s actual historical exercise experience. Expected volatility of stock was calculated using a rate based upon the historical volatility of TransDigm’s common stock. Notwithstanding the special cash dividends declared and paid from time to time, the Company historically has not declared and paid regular cash dividends and does not anticipate declaring and paying regular cash dividends in future periods; thus, no dividend rate assumption is used.
The total fair value of options vested during fiscal years ended
September 30, 2017
,
2016
and
2015
was
$42.9 million
,
$36.6 million
and
$14.9 million
, respectively.

19. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The following tables present our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following summarizes the carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments (in thousands):

The Company values its financial instruments using an industry standard market approach, in which prices and other relevant information is generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. No financial instruments were recognized using unobservable inputs.
Interest rate swaps were measured at fair value using quoted market prices for the swap interest rate indexes over the term of the swap discounted to present value versus the fixed rate of the contract. The interest rate caps were measured at fair value using implied volatility rates of each individual caplet and the yield curve for the related periods. The estimated fair value of the Company’s term loans was based on information provided by the agent under the Company’s senior secured credit facility. The estimated fair values of the Company’s notes were based upon quoted market prices. There has not been any impact to the fair value of derivative liabilities due to the Company’s own credit risk. Similarly, there has not been any impact to the fair value of derivative assets based on the Company’s evaluation of counterparties’ credit risks.
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable-net and accounts payable approximated book value due to the short-term nature of these instruments at September 30,
2017
and
2016
.
20. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company is exposed to, among other things, the impact of changes in interest rates in the normal course of business. The Company’s risk management program is designed to manage the exposure and volatility arising from these risks, and utilizes derivative financial instruments to offset a portion of these risks. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only to the extent necessary to hedge identified business risks and does not enter into such transactions for trading purposes. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security with counterparties to these financial instruments and is therefore subject to credit risk in the event of nonperformance; however, the Company monitors credit risk and currently does not anticipate nonperformance by other parties. The Company has agreements with each of its swap and cap counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on the credit facility the Company could also be declared in default on its swaps and caps, resulting in an acceleration of payment under the swaps and caps.
Interest rate swap and cap agreements are used to manage interest rate risk associated with floating-rate borrowings under our credit facility. The interest rate swap and cap agreements utilized by the Company effectively modify the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of the Company’s floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis through the expiration date of the interest rate swap and cap agreements, thereby reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. These agreements involve the receipt of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the term of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. These derivative instruments qualify as effective cash flow hedges under GAAP. For these cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss from the financial instruments was initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ deficit and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same line as the hedged item in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affected earnings.

All interest rate swap and cap agreements are recognized in our consolidated balance sheets at fair value. In accordance with GAAP, certain derivative asset and liability balances are offset where master netting agreements provide for the legal right of setoff. For classification purposes, we record the net fair value of each type of derivative position that is expected to settle in less than one year with each counterparty as a net current asset or liability and each type of long-term position as a net long-term asset or liability. The amounts shown in the table below represent the gross amounts of recognized assets and liabilities, the amounts offset in the consolidated balance sheet and the net amounts of assets and liabilities presented therein.

Refer to Note 19, "Fair Value Measurements," for the consolidated balance sheet classification of our interest rate swap and cap agreements.
|
In connection with the refinancing of the 2011 Term Loans, the Company no longer designated the interest rate swap agreements relating to the
$353 million
aggregate notional amount as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, amounts previously recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholder’s deficit amortized into earnings totaled
$3.2 million
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. There was no remaining amortization for these dedesignated swap agreements as of September 30, 2015.
Based on the fair value amounts of the interest rate swap and cap agreements determined as of
September 30, 2017
, the estimated net amount of existing gains and losses and caplet amortization expected to be reclassified into interest expense within the next twelve months is approximately
$24.9 million
.
Effective September 30, 2016, the Company redesignated the interest rate cap agreements related to the
$400 million
and the
$750 million
aggregate notional amount with cap rates of
2.0%
and
2.5%
, respectively, based on the expected probable cash flows associated with the 2016 term loans and 2015 term loans in consideration of the Company’s ability to select one-month, two-month, three-month, or six-month LIBO rate set forth in the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, amounts previously recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholder’s deficit amortized into interest expense was
$3.8 million
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017. The accumulated other comprehensive loss to be reclassified into interest expense over the remaining term of the cap agreements is
$10.8 million
with a related tax benefit of
$4.0 million
as of September 30, 2017. The amount recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ deficit related to these redesignated interest rate cap hedges as of September 30, 2016 was approximately
$14.6 million
with a related tax benefit of
$5.5 million
.

22. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In connection with the settlement of a Department of Justice investigation into the competitive effects of the acquisition, during the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company committed to dispose of the Schroth business. Therefore, Schroth was classified as held-for-sale as of September 30, 2017. The results of operations of Schroth are reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The Company previously acquired Schroth in February 2017 (refer to Note 2, “Acquisitions”). Schroth designs and manufactures proprietary, highly engineered, advanced safety systems for aviation, racing and military ground vehicles around the world.
The loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income includes a
$32.0 million
impairment charge to write down the Schroth assets to fair value. The impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 was based on an internal assessment of the recovery of Schroth’s assets. Schroth’s assets have been recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2017. The following is the summarized operating results from the date of acquisition of February 22, 2017 to September 30, 2017 (in thousands):
