1.           BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Curtiss-Wright Corporation along with its subsidiaries (we, the Corporation, or the Company) is a global integrated business that provides highly engineered products, solutions, and services mainly to aerospace & defense (A&D) markets, as well as critical technologies in demanding commercial power, process, and industrial markets.

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

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

Management is required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant of these estimates includes the estimate of costs to complete using the over-time revenue recognition accounting method, pension plan and postretirement obligation assumptions, estimates for inventory obsolescence, fair value estimates around assets and assumed liabilities from acquisitions, estimates for the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets, legal reserves, and the estimate of future environmental costs. Changes in estimates of contract sales, costs, and profits are recognized using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. This method recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods. Accordingly, the effect of the changes on future periods of contract performance is recognized as if the revised estimate had been the original estimate. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no significant changes in estimated contract costs. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of the operating results for a full year.

2.           CORRECTION OF PRIOR PERIOD ERROR

During the third quarter of 2023, the Corporation identified an error related to a single long-term contract within a subsidiary of its Naval & Power segment. The error primarily impacts 2020 and 2021, whereby certain events occurring during the pandemic, including constructive changes to the contract as well as labor inefficiencies and hiring delays due to a facility relocation, were not reflected in the contract’s estimated costs of completion.

In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") Nos. 99 and 108, the Corporation evaluated this error and, based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, determined that it was not material to any one of the prior reporting periods affected and, therefore, amendment of previously filed reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission is not required.

However, if the adjustment to correct the cumulative effect of the aforementioned error had been recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the impact would have been qualitatively material to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for those respective periods. Therefore, in accordance with SAB 108, the Corporation has revised the applicable prior period financial statements included within this filing, as summarized below.

The net impact of the error resulted in an overstatement of previously reported total net sales and net earnings of approximately $5 million and $4 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2021 and an overstatement of previously reported total net sales and net earnings of approximately $8 million and $7 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2020. The impact of the error on previously reported total net sales and net earnings was inconsequential for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company will revise its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 in conjunction with the issuance of the 2023 Form 10-K. The error did not impact net cash provided by operating activities within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in any prior period.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been revised as follows:

3.           REVENUE

The Corporation recognizes revenue when control of a promised good and/or service is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Corporation expects to be entitled to in exchange for that good and/or service.

Performance Obligations

The Corporation identifies a performance obligation for each promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. As part of its assessment, the Corporation considers all goods and/or services promised in the contract, regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. The Corporation’s contracts may contain either a single performance obligation, including the promise to transfer individual goods or services that are not separately distinct within the context of the respective contracts, or multiple performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Corporation allocates the overall transaction price to each performance obligation using standalone selling prices, where available, or utilizes estimates for each distinct good or service in the contract where standalone prices are not available.

The Corporation’s performance obligations are satisfied either at a point-in-time or on an over-time basis. Typically, over-time revenue recognition is based on the utilization of an input measure used to measure progress, such as costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs. If a performance obligation does not qualify for over-time revenue recognition, revenue is then recognized at the point-in-time in which control of the distinct good or service is transferred to the customer, typically based upon the terms of delivery.

The following table illustrates the approximate percentage of revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied over-time versus at a point-in-time for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

Three Months EndedNine Months Ended
September 30,September 30,
2023202220232022
Over-time47 %50 %47 %52 %
Point-in-time53 %50 %53 %48 %

Contract backlog represents the remaining performance obligations that have not yet been recognized as revenue. Backlog includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. Total backlog was approximately $2.9 billion as of September 30, 2023, of which the Corporation expects to recognize approximately 89% as net sales over the next 36 months. The remainder will be recognized thereafter.

Contract Balances

Timing of revenue recognition and cash collection may result in billed receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and deferred revenue (contract liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Corporation’s contract assets primarily relate to its rights to consideration for work completed but not billed as of the reporting date. Contract assets are transferred to billed receivables when the rights to consideration become unconditional. This is typical in situations where amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms or upon achievement of contractual milestones. The Corporation’s contract liabilities primarily consist of customer advances received prior to revenue being earned. Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 included in the contract liabilities balance as of January 1, 2023 was approximately $38 million and $185 million, respectively. Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 included in the contract liabilities balance as of January 1, 2022 was approximately $54 million and $189 million, respectively. Contract assets and contract liabilities are reported in the "Receivables, net" and "Deferred revenue" lines, respectively, within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

4.           RECEIVABLES

Receivables primarily include amounts billed to customers, unbilled charges on long-term contracts consisting of amounts recognized as sales but not billed, and other receivables. Substantially all amounts of unbilled receivables are expected to be billed and collected within one year. An immaterial amount of unbilled receivables are subject to retainage provisions. The amount of claims and unapproved change orders within our receivables balances are immaterial.

The composition of receivables is as follows:

5.           INVENTORIES

Inventoried costs contain amounts relating to long-term contracts and programs with long production cycles, a portion of which will not be realized within one year. Long-term contract inventory includes an immaterial amount of claims or other similar items subject to uncertainty concerning their determination or realization. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

These capitalized costs will be liquidated as units are produced under contract. As of September 30, 2023, capitalized development costs of $7.7 million are not currently supported by existing firm orders.

6.           GOODWILL

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

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are as follows:

8.           FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
Forward Foreign Exchange and Currency Option Contracts
 
The Corporation has foreign currency exposure primarily in the United Kingdom, Europe, and Canada. The Corporation uses financial instruments, such as forward and option contracts, to hedge a portion of existing and anticipated foreign currency denominated transactions. The purpose of the Corporation’s foreign currency risk management program is to reduce volatility in earnings caused by exchange rate fluctuations. Guidance on accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities requires companies to recognize all of the derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based upon quoted market prices for comparable instruments.
 
Interest Rate Risks and Related Strategies
 
The Corporation’s primary interest rate exposure results from changes in U.S. dollar interest rates. The Corporation’s policy is to manage interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt.

Effects on Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair values of the asset and liability derivative instruments were immaterial.

Effects on Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings
 
Undesignated hedges

The gains and losses on forward exchange derivative contracts not designated for hedge accounting are recognized to general and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The gains and (losses) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were ($5) million and $2 million, respectively. The losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $6 million and $12 million, respectively.

Debt

The estimated fair value amounts were determined by the Corporation using available market information that is primarily based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issuances as of September 30, 2023. Accordingly, all of the Corporation’s debt is valued as a Level 2 financial instrument. The fair values described below may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, the use of different methodologies to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

The Corporation did not make any contributions to the Curtiss-Wright Pension Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and does not expect to do so throughout the remainder of the year. Contributions to the foreign benefit plans are not expected to be material in 2023.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized settlement charges related to the retirement of former executives. The settlement charges represent events that are accounted for under guidance on employers’ accounting for settlements and curtailments of defined benefit pension plans.

Defined Contribution Retirement Plan

The Company also maintains a defined contribution plan for all non-union employees who are not currently receiving final or career average pay benefits for its U.S. subsidiaries. The employer contributions include both employer match and non-elective contribution components up to a maximum employer contribution of 7% of eligible compensation. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the expense relating to the plan was $5.2 million and $17.4 million, respectively. During the

three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the expense relating to the plan was $5.5 million and $15.8 million, respectively.

10.           EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
Diluted earnings per share was computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common shares. A reconciliation of basic to diluted shares used in the earnings per share calculation is as follows:

 
Three Months EndedNine Months Ended

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, approximately 5,000 and 16,000 shares, respectively, issuable under equity-based awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive based on the average stock price during the period. There were approximately 49,000 and 37,000 anti-dilutive equity-based awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

11.           SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Corporation’s measure of segment profit or loss is operating income. Interest expense and income taxes are not reported on an operating segment basis as they are not considered in the segments’ performance evaluation by the Corporation’s chief operating decision-maker, its Chief Executive Officer.

CURTISS-WRIGHT CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES to CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

From time to time, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our business. Some of these proceedings allege damages relating to asbestos and environmental exposures, intellectual property matters, copyright infringement, personal injury claims, employment and employee benefit matters, government contract issues, commercial or contractual disputes, and acquisitions or divestitures. The Corporation continues to defend vigorously against all claims. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including assessment of the merits of the particular claim, as well as current accruals and insurance coverage, the Corporation does not expect that such legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Legal Proceedings

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

Letters of Credit and Other Financial Arrangements

The Corporation enters into standby letters of credit agreements and guarantees with financial institutions and customers primarily relating to guarantees of repayment, future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services, and to secure advance payments from certain international customers. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were $22 million and $17 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding, respectively, and $14 million and $3 million of bank guarantees outstanding, respectively. In addition, the Corporation is required to provide the Nuclear Regulatory Commission financial assurance demonstrating its ability to cover the cost of decommissioning its Cheswick, Pennsylvania facility upon closure, though the Corporation does not intend to close this facility. The Corporation has provided this financial assurance in the form of a $35 million surety bond.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS of
FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued

COMPANY ORGANIZATION
 
Curtiss-Wright Corporation along with its subsidiaries is a global integrated business that provides highly engineered products, solutions, and services mainly to aerospace & defense markets, as well as critical technologies in demanding commercial power, process, and industrial markets. We report our operations through our Aerospace & Industrial, Defense Electronics, and Naval & Power segments. We operate across a diversified array of niche markets through engineering and technological leadership, precision manufacturing, and strong relationships with our customers. Approximately 67% of our 2023 revenues are expected to be generated from A&D-related markets.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of the Corporation for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023. The financial information as of September 30, 2023 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 contained in our Form 10-K.

The MD&A is organized into the following sections: Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Results by Business Segment, and Liquidity and Capital Resources. Our discussion will be focused on the overall results of operations followed by a more detailed discussion of those results within each of our reportable segments.

Our three reportable segments are generally concentrated in a few end markets; however, each may have sales across several end markets. An end market is defined as an area of demand for products and services.  The sales for the relevant markets will be discussed throughout the MD&A.

Analytical Definitions

Throughout management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, the terms “incremental” and “organic” are used to explain changes from period to period. The term “incremental” is used to highlight the impact that acquisitions and divestitures had on the current year results. The results of operations for acquisitions are incremental for the first twelve months from the date of acquisition. The definition of “organic” excludes the loss from sale of our industrial valves business in Germany as well as the effects of foreign currency translation.

FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued

Operating income in the third quarter increased $25 million, or 23%, to $133 million, and operating margin increased 120 basis points to 18.3% compared with the same period in 2022. Operating income and operating margin in the Defense Electronics segment primarily benefited from favorable overhead absorption on higher sales. In the Naval & Power segment, increases in both operating income and operating margin were primarily due to lower first year purchase accounting costs during the current period from our arresting systems acquisition as well as favorable overhead absorption on higher sales. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable naval contract adjustments and unfavorable product mix. In the Aerospace & Industrial segment, favorable absorption on higher sales was essentially offset by unfavorable mix in actuation products.

Operating income during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased $58 million, or 22%, to $324 million, and operating margin increased 90 basis points to 15.7%, compared with the same period in 2022. In the Defense Electronics segment, increases in operating income and operating margin were primarily due to favorable overhead absorption on higher sales. Operating income in the Naval & Power segment benefited from the absence of a prior year loss on sale of our industrial valves business in Germany as well as favorable overhead absorption on higher organic sales. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable naval contract adjustments and unfavorable product mix. In the Aerospace & Industrial segment, favorable overhead absorption on higher sales was partially offset by unfavorable mix in actuation and sensors products.

Non-segment operating expense in the third quarter increased $1 million, or 7%, to $10 million, primarily due to higher foreign currency losses in the current period. Non-segment operating expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased $1 million, or 3%, to $32 million, as the absence of costs associated with shareholder activism recorded in the prior year period was partially offset by higher foreign currency losses in the current period.

Interest expense in the third quarter decreased $2 million, or 11%, to $12 million, primarily due to lower current period borrowings under our revolving Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement" or "credit facility") as well as the repayment of our 2013 Notes in February 2023. Interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased $7 million, or 21%, to $40 million, primarily due to the issuance of $300 million Senior Notes in October 2022 as well as higher interest rates under our Credit Agreement in the current period. This increase was partially offset by the repayment of our 2013 Notes in February 2023.

Other income, net in the third quarter increased $3 million, or 87%, to $7 million. Other income, net during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased $11 million, or 101%, to $23 million. Increases in both periods were primarily due to lower overall pension costs against the comparable prior year periods.

The effective tax rate of 23.8% in the third quarter decreased compared to an effective tax rate of 24.2% in the prior year period, primarily due to the favorable impact of expected foreign tax credit utilization in the current year. The effective tax rate of 23.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased as compared to an effective tax rate of 24.1%, primarily due to lower expected executive compensation adjustments as well as the favorable impact of expected foreign tax credit utilization in the current year.

Comprehensive income in the third quarter was $69 million, compared to comprehensive income of $28 million in the prior year period. The change was primarily due to the following:

•Foreign currency translation adjustments in the third quarter resulted in a $28 million comprehensive loss, compared to a $50 million comprehensive loss in the prior year period. The comprehensive loss during the current period was primarily attributed to decreases in the British Pound.
•Net earnings increased $23 million, primarily due to higher operating income and other income, net.

Comprehensive income during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $240 million, compared to comprehensive income of $102 million in the prior year period. The change was primarily due to the following:

•Foreign currency translation adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 resulted in a $6 million comprehensive gain, compared to a $97 million comprehensive loss in the prior period. The comprehensive gain during the current period was primarily attributed to increases in the British Pound.
•Net earnings increased $49 million, primarily due to higher operating income and other income, net.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources and Use of Cash

We derive the majority of our operating cash inflow from receipts on the sale of goods and services and cash outflow for the procurement of materials and labor; cash flow is therefore subject to market fluctuations and conditions. Most of our long-term contracts allow for several billing points (progress or milestone) that provide us with cash receipts as costs are incurred throughout the project rather than upon contract completion, thereby reducing working capital requirements. In some cases, these payments can exceed the costs incurred on a project. Management continually evaluates cash utilization alternatives, including share repurchases, acquisitions, increased dividends, and paying down debt, to determine the most beneficial use of available capital resources. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, available borrowings under the credit facility, and ability to raise additional capital through the credit markets, are sufficient to meet both the short-term and long-term capital needs of the organization, including the return of capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases and growing our business through acquisitions.

Net cash used for investing activities decreased $250 million from the prior year period, primarily due to our arresting systems acquisition in the prior year period.

Net cash used for financing activities increased $490 million from the prior year period, primarily due to the repayment of our 2013 Notes as well as lower current period net borrowings under our credit facility. Refer to the "Financing Activities" section below for further details.

Financing Activities

Debt

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repaid $203 million of the 2013 Notes that matured on February 26, 2023.

The Corporation’s debt outstanding had an average interest rate of 4.0% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and 3.6% and 3.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The Corporation’s average debt outstanding was $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Credit Agreement

As of September 30, 2023, the Corporation had $22 million in letters of credit supported by the Credit Agreement. The unused credit available under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2023 was $728 million, which could be borrowed without violating any of our debt covenants.

Repurchase of common stock

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Corporation used $37 million of cash to repurchase approximately 0.2 million outstanding shares under its share repurchase program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Corporation used $44 million of cash to repurchase approximately 0.3 million outstanding shares under its share repurchase program.

Cash Utilization

Management continually evaluates cash utilization alternatives, including share repurchases, acquisitions, and increased dividends to determine the most beneficial use of available capital resources. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, available borrowings under the credit facility, and ability to raise additional capital through the credit markets are sufficient to meet both the short-term and long-term capital needs of the organization, including the return of capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases and growing our business through acquisitions.

The Corporation made dividend payments of $15 million and $14 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. Additionally, beginning in the second quarter of 2023, the Corporation increased its quarterly dividend to $0.20 per share.

Debt Compliance

As of the date of this report, we were in compliance with all debt agreements and credit facility covenants, including our most restrictive covenant, which is our debt to capitalization limit of 60%. The debt to capitalization limit is a measure of our indebtedness (as defined per the notes purchase agreement and credit facility) to capitalization, where capitalization equals debt plus equity, and is the same for and applies to all of our debt agreements and credit facility.

As of September 30, 2023, we had the ability to borrow additional debt of $2.2 billion without violating our debt to capitalization covenant.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of these statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by the application of our accounting policies. Critical accounting policies are those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. A summary of significant accounting policies and a description of accounting policies that are considered critical may be found in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2023, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1, and the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Item 3.                      QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
There have been no material changes in our market risk during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.  Information regarding market risk and market risk management policies is more fully described in "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Item 4.                      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
As of September 30, 2023, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2023 insofar as they are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and they include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.                     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our business. Some of these proceedings allege damages relating to asbestos and environmental exposures, intellectual property matters, copyright infringement, personal injury claims, employment and employee benefit matters, government contract issues, commercial or contractual disputes, and acquisitions or divestitures. We continue to defend vigorously against all claims. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including assessment of the merits of the particular claim, as well as current accruals and insurance coverage, we do not believe that the disposition of any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

We have been named in pending lawsuits that allege injury from exposure to asbestos. To date, we have not been found liable or paid any material sum of money in settlement in any asbestos-related case. We believe that the minimal use of asbestos in our past operations and the relatively non-friable condition of asbestos in our products make it unlikely that we will face material liability in any asbestos litigation, whether individually or in the aggregate. We maintain insurance coverage for these potential liabilities and we believe adequate coverage exists to cover any unanticipated asbestos liability.

Item 1A.          RISK FACTORS
 
There have been no material changes in our Risk Factors during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Information regarding our Risk Factors is more fully described in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Curtiss-Wright Corporation along with its subsidiaries (we, the Corporation, or the Company) is a global integrated business that provides highly engineered products, solutions, and services mainly to aerospace & defense (A&D) markets, as well as critical technologies in demanding commercial power, process, and industrial markets.

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

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

Management is required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant of these estimates includes the estimate of costs to complete using the over-time revenue recognition accounting method, pension plan and postretirement obligation assumptions, estimates for inventory obsolescence, fair value estimates around assets and assumed liabilities from acquisitions, estimates for the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets, legal reserves, and the estimate of future environmental costs. Changes in estimates of contract sales, costs, and profits are recognized using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. This method recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods. Accordingly, the effect of the changes on future periods of contract performance is recognized as if the revised estimate had been the original estimate. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no significant changes in estimated contract costs. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these financial statements.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of the operating results for a full year.

CORRECTION OF PRIOR PERIOD ERROR

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]  
CORRECTION OF PRIOR PERIOD ERROR CORRECTION OF PRIOR PERIOD ERROR
During the third quarter of 2023, the Corporation identified an error related to a single long-term contract within a subsidiary of its Naval & Power segment. The error primarily impacts 2020 and 2021, whereby certain events occurring during the pandemic, including constructive changes to the contract as well as labor inefficiencies and hiring delays due to a facility relocation, were not reflected in the contract’s estimated costs of completion.

In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") Nos. 99 and 108, the Corporation evaluated this error and, based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, determined that it was not material to any one of the prior reporting periods affected and, therefore, amendment of previously filed reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission is not required.

However, if the adjustment to correct the cumulative effect of the aforementioned error had been recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the impact would have been qualitatively material to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for those respective periods. Therefore, in accordance with SAB 108, the Corporation has revised the applicable prior period financial statements included within this filing, as summarized below.

The net impact of the error resulted in an overstatement of previously reported total net sales and net earnings of approximately $5 million and $4 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2021 and an overstatement of previously reported total net sales and net earnings of approximately $8 million and $7 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2020. The impact of the error on previously reported total net sales and net earnings was inconsequential for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company will revise its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 in conjunction with the issuance of the 2023 Form 10-K. The error did not impact net cash provided by operating activities within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in any prior period.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been revised as follows:

REVENUE

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
REVENUE REVENUE
The Corporation recognizes revenue when control of a promised good and/or service is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Corporation expects to be entitled to in exchange for that good and/or service.

Performance Obligations

The Corporation identifies a performance obligation for each promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. As part of its assessment, the Corporation considers all goods and/or services promised in the contract, regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. The Corporation’s contracts may contain either a single performance obligation, including the promise to transfer individual goods or services that are not separately distinct within the context of the respective contracts, or multiple performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Corporation allocates the overall transaction price to each performance obligation using standalone selling prices, where available, or utilizes estimates for each distinct good or service in the contract where standalone prices are not available.

The Corporation’s performance obligations are satisfied either at a point-in-time or on an over-time basis. Typically, over-time revenue recognition is based on the utilization of an input measure used to measure progress, such as costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs. If a performance obligation does not qualify for over-time revenue recognition, revenue is then recognized at the point-in-time in which control of the distinct good or service is transferred to the customer, typically based upon the terms of delivery.

The following table illustrates the approximate percentage of revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied over-time versus at a point-in-time for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

Three Months EndedNine Months Ended
September 30,September 30,
2023202220232022
Over-time47 %50 %47 %52 %
Point-in-time53 %50 %53 %48 %

Contract backlog represents the remaining performance obligations that have not yet been recognized as revenue. Backlog includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. Total backlog was approximately $2.9 billion as of September 30, 2023, of which the Corporation expects to recognize approximately 89% as net sales over the next 36 months. The remainder will be recognized thereafter.

Contract Balances

Timing of revenue recognition and cash collection may result in billed receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and deferred revenue (contract liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Corporation’s contract assets primarily relate to its rights to consideration for work completed but not billed as of the reporting date. Contract assets are transferred to billed receivables when the rights to consideration become unconditional. This is typical in situations where amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms or upon achievement of contractual milestones. The Corporation’s contract liabilities primarily consist of customer advances received prior to revenue being earned. Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 included in the contract liabilities balance as of January 1, 2023 was approximately $38 million and $185 million, respectively. Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 included in the contract liabilities balance as of January 1, 2022 was approximately $54 million and $189 million, respectively. Contract assets and contract liabilities are reported in the "Receivables, net" and "Deferred revenue" lines, respectively, within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
Forward Foreign Exchange and Currency Option Contracts
 
The Corporation has foreign currency exposure primarily in the United Kingdom, Europe, and Canada. The Corporation uses financial instruments, such as forward and option contracts, to hedge a portion of existing and anticipated foreign currency denominated transactions. The purpose of the Corporation’s foreign currency risk management program is to reduce volatility in earnings caused by exchange rate fluctuations. Guidance on accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities requires companies to recognize all of the derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based upon quoted market prices for comparable instruments.
 
Interest Rate Risks and Related Strategies
 
The Corporation’s primary interest rate exposure results from changes in U.S. dollar interest rates. The Corporation’s policy is to manage interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt.

Effects on Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair values of the asset and liability derivative instruments were immaterial.

Effects on Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings
 
Undesignated hedges

The gains and losses on forward exchange derivative contracts not designated for hedge accounting are recognized to general and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The gains and (losses) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were ($5) million and $2 million, respectively. The losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $6 million and $12 million, respectively.

Debt

The estimated fair value amounts were determined by the Corporation using available market information that is primarily based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issuances as of September 30, 2023. Accordingly, all of the Corporation’s debt is valued as a Level 2 financial instrument. The fair values described below may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, the use of different methodologies to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized settlement charges related to the retirement of former executives. The settlement charges represent events that are accounted for under guidance on employers’ accounting for settlements and curtailments of defined benefit pension plans.

Defined Contribution Retirement Plan

The Company also maintains a defined contribution plan for all non-union employees who are not currently receiving final or career average pay benefits for its U.S. subsidiaries. The employer contributions include both employer match and non-elective contribution components up to a maximum employer contribution of 7% of eligible compensation. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the expense relating to the plan was $5.2 million and $17.4 million, respectively. During the

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
From time to time, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our business. Some of these proceedings allege damages relating to asbestos and environmental exposures, intellectual property matters, copyright infringement, personal injury claims, employment and employee benefit matters, government contract issues, commercial or contractual disputes, and acquisitions or divestitures. The Corporation continues to defend vigorously against all claims. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including assessment of the merits of the particular claim, as well as current accruals and insurance coverage, the Corporation does not expect that such legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Legal Proceedings

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

Letters of Credit and Other Financial Arrangements

The Corporation enters into standby letters of credit agreements and guarantees with financial institutions and customers primarily relating to guarantees of repayment, future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services, and to secure advance payments from certain international customers. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were $22 million and $17 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding, respectively, and $14 million and $3 million of bank guarantees outstanding, respectively. In addition, the Corporation is required to provide the Nuclear Regulatory Commission financial assurance demonstrating its ability to cover the cost of decommissioning its Cheswick, Pennsylvania facility upon closure, though the Corporation does not intend to close this facility. The Corporation has provided this financial assurance in the form of a $35 million surety bond.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis Of Accounting
Curtiss-Wright Corporation along with its subsidiaries (we, the Corporation, or the Company) is a global integrated business that provides highly engineered products, solutions, and services mainly to aerospace & defense (A&D) markets, as well as critical technologies in demanding commercial power, process, and industrial markets.

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

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

Management is required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant of these estimates includes the estimate of costs to complete using the over-time revenue recognition accounting method, pension plan and postretirement obligation assumptions, estimates for inventory obsolescence, fair value estimates around assets and assumed liabilities from acquisitions, estimates for the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets, legal reserves, and the estimate of future environmental costs. Changes in estimates of contract sales, costs, and profits are recognized using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. This method recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods. Accordingly, the effect of the changes on future periods of contract performance is recognized as if the revised estimate had been the original estimate. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no significant changes in estimated contract costs. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these financial statements.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of the operating results for a full year.
