PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Goodrich Corporation
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Goodrich Corporation as of March 31, 2005, and the related condensed consolidated statement of income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Goodrich Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, not presented herein; and in our report dated February 25, 2005, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Basis of Interim Financial Statement Preparation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Goodrich Corporation and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Unless indicated otherwise or the context requires, the terms we, our, us, Goodrich or Company refer to Goodrich Corporation and its subsidiaries. The Company believes that all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain amounts in prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the year ending December 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Unless otherwise noted, disclosures pertain to the Companys continuing operations.
Note 2. New Accounting Standards
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recently issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151 (SFAS 151), Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. Adoption of SFAS 151 is required by the year beginning January 1, 2006. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 151 no later than that date. The amendments made by SFAS 151 clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges and requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. While SFAS 151 enhances ARB 43 and clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage), the statement also removes inconsistencies between ARB 43 and IAS 2 and amends ARB 43 to clarify that abnormal amounts of costs should be recognized as period costs. Under some circumstances, according to ARB 43, the above listed costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. SFAS 151 requires these items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of so abnormal and requires allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion. This statement will apply to the Companys businesses if they become subject to abnormal costs as defined in SFAS 151. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that adoption of SFAS 151 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS 123(R)), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. The Company adopted the SFAS 123 fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payments effective January 1, 2004 using the modified prospective method described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. Currently, the Company uses the Black-Scholes formula to estimate the value of stock options granted to employees. SFAS 123(R) requires that the Company use the valuation technique that best fits the circumstances. The Company is currently evaluating other techniques. SFAS 123(R) requires that the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow; thus, reducing net operating cash flows and increasing net financing cash flows in the periods after the effective date. SFAS 123(R) also requires that the Company estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest and to revise the estimate as the actual forfeitures differ from the estimate. The effect of these items and other changes required by SFAS 123(R) is currently being evaluated. On April 14, 2005, the SEC announced that registrants that are not small business issuers may adopt SFAS 123(R) no later than the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company will adopt SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006.

On December 21, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 109-1 (FSP 109-1) and 109-2 (FSP 109-2). FSP 109-1 provides guidance on the application of SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, with regard to the tax deduction on qualified production activities provision within H.R. 4520 The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (Act), that was enacted on October 22, 2004. FSP 109-2 provides guidance on a special one-time dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to qualifying U.S. taxpayers. The Act contains numerous provisions related to corporate and international taxation including repeal of the Extraterritorial Income (ETI) regime, creation of a new Domestic Production Activities (DPA) deduction and a temporary dividends received deduction related to repatriation of foreign earnings. The Act contains various effective dates and transition periods related to its provisions. Under the guidance provided in FSP 109-1 the new DPA deduction will be treated as a special deduction as described in SFAS 109. As such, the special deduction had no effect on the Companys deferred tax assets and liabilities existing at the enactment date. Rather, the impact of this deduction will be reported in the period in which the deduction is claimed on the Companys income tax return. The Company does not expect the net effect of the phase-out of the ETI deduction and phase-in of the new DPA deduction to result in a material impact on its effective income tax rate in 2005. In FSP 109-2, the FASB acknowledged that, due to the proximity of the Acts enactment date to many companies year-ends and the fact that numerous provisions within the Act are complex and pending further regulatory guidance, many companies may not be in a position to assess the impact of the Act on their plans for repatriation or reinvestment of foreign earnings. Therefore, the FSP provided companies with a practical exception to the permanent reinvestment standards of SFAS 109 and APB No. 23 by providing additional time to determine the amount of earnings, if any, that they intend to repatriate under the Acts provisions. The Company is not yet in a position to decide whether, and to what extent, it might repatriate foreign earnings to the United States. Therefore, under the guidance provided in FSP 109-2, no deferred tax liability has been recorded in connection with the repatriation provisions of the Act. The Company is currently analyzing the impact of the temporary dividends received deduction provisions contained in the Act and expect to complete its analysis by June 30, 2005.
Note 3. Restructuring and Consolidation Costs
The Company incurred restructuring and consolidation costs and activity related to two types of restructuring and consolidation programs: (1) the Companys employee termination and facility closure programs other than the opening balance sheet restructuring and consolidation programs related to Aeronautical Systems; and (2) the Aeronautical Systems business restructuring programs.

Restructuring and Consolidation Costs Provision
The following is a description of key components of the $3.6 million provision for restructuring and consolidation costs recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2005:
Airframe Systems: The segment recorded a $2.6 million charge of which $2.5 million was for employee severance and benefits and $0.1 million was for equipment relocation costs, all related to the closure of a foreign facility. The reserve was reduced by a $0.4 million return to profit of previously recorded employee severance and benefit charges not required.
Engine Systems: The segment recorded a $0.2 million charge for facility closure costs consisting of $0.1 million for employee relocations and $0.1 million related to the closure of a domestic service facility.

Future Restructuring and Consolidation Costs
The Company expects to incur additional expenses of approximately $2 million for restructuring programs announced and initiated prior to January 1, 2005 related to ongoing restructuring programs. The Company expects to incur most of these restructuring charges during the remaining three quarters of 2005. Of the expected charges, approximately $1.3 million relates to facility closure costs, $0.4 million is for equipment relocation and $0.3 million is for expected employee terminations, relocations and benefits related to these facility closures. Of the $2 million in expected charges to restructuring and consolidation costs, the Electronic Systems segment expects to charge $1.9 million for the closure of a domestic service facility, a domestic manufacturing and service facility and a foreign manufacturing facility and the Engine Systems segment expects to incur $0.1 million for the closure of a domestic service facility.
Opening Balance Sheet Aeronautical Systems Business Restructuring Programs
Restructuring reserves were recorded in the opening balance sheet related to the acquisition of the Aeronautical Systems business. These consolidation and restructuring reserves relate primarily to personnel-related costs for employee termination benefits that the Company recorded as part of its integration effort in accordance with EITF Issue No. 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination.
No additional restructuring reserves have been recorded related to the Aeronautical Systems acquisition. Restructuring and consolidation reserves at March 31, 2005 as well as the activity during the three months ended March 31, 2005 consisted of:

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, no employees were terminated as part of the restructuring activities related to the acquisition of the Aeronautical Systems business. The $0.4 million paid for employee termination benefits were for retirement benefits related to previous employee terminations at a foreign operation. As of March 31, 2005, the Company expects to reduce employment levels by approximately 45 employees as part of the opening balance sheet restructuring activities. The remaining reserves will be used for future lease payments related to a redundant facility, costs to complete the closure of a redundant facility and return it to its original condition and a special early retirement program at a foreign operation.

In conjunction with the Audit Review Committee of the Companys Board of Directors, management reassessed the application of contract accounting at its aerostructures business. Specifically, consideration was given to whether or not the accounting methods used by the Company were appropriate given the predominance of an alternative method used by peer companies and changes in the nature of contractual relationships with the Companys customers. Effective January 1, 2004, the Company changed two aspects of the application of contract accounting to preferable methods at its aerostructures business that is included in the Engines Systems segment.
The Company changed its method of accounting for revisions in estimates of total revenue, total costs or extent of progress of a contract from the reallocation method to the cumulative catch-up method. Although both methods are used in practice to account for changes in estimates, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts (SOP 81-1), indicates that the cumulative catch-up method is preferable. A contemporaneous review of accounting policy disclosures of peer companies in the same or similar industries indicated that the cumulative catch-up method was the predominant method of accounting for changes in estimates. The Company believes that consistency in financial reporting with peer companies, as well as with less significant business units within the consolidated group which already use the cumulative catch-up method, will enhance the comparability of financial data. The change was effected by adjusting contract profit rates from the balance to complete gross profit rate to the estimated gross profit rate at completion of the contract.
The Company also changed its accounting for pre-certification costs. Under the previous policy, pre-certification costs exceeding the level anticipated in the Companys original investment model used to negotiate contractual terms were expensed when determined regardless of overall contract profitability. This policy was appropriate in the past because aircraft and engine manufacturers typically reimbursed component suppliers directly for pre-certification costs up to an agreed-upon level. Recently, however, aircraft and engine manufacturers have begun to require component suppliers to participate more in the initial design and certification costs for products and are no longer specifically reimbursing non-recurring costs. Instead, the component supplier now typically absorbs these non-recurring costs and recovers those costs over the contract term through the price and margin of its product sales. Under the new policy, which was adopted January 1, 2004, pre-certification costs, including those in excess of original estimated levels, are included in total contract costs used to evaluate overall contract profitability. The Company believes the new method better reflects the substance of its current contractual arrangements and is more consistent with SOP 81-1, which indicates that all direct costs and indirect costs allocable to contracts should be included in the total contract cost.
10
The impact of the changes in accounting methods was to record a before tax gain of $23.3 million ($16.2 million after tax) as a Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting representing the cumulative profit that would have been recognized prior to January 1, 2004 had these methods of accounting been in effect in prior periods.

At March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had outstanding approximately 9.5 million and 10.9 million stock options, respectively. Stock options are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation using the treasury stock method, unless the effect of including the stock options would be anti-dilutive. Of the 9.5 million and 10.9 million stock options outstanding, 2.8 million and 5.4 million were anti-dilutive stock options excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation at March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

(b) | Included in the $36.9 million of foreign currency translation was an adjustment related to the foreign currency translation of certain goodwill amounts that resulted in a $27.3 million increase in Goodwill and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss). |
Note 10. Financing Arrangements
Credit Facilities
At March 31, 2005, the Company had a committed syndicated revolving credit facility expiring in August 2006 that permits borrowing, including letters of credit, up to a maximum of $500 million. Borrowings under this facility bear interest, at the Companys option, at rates tied to the agent banks prime rate or for U.S. Dollar or Great Britain Pounds Sterling borrowings, the London interbank offered rate, and for Euro Dollar borrowings, the EURIBO rate. The Company is required to pay a facility fee of 20 basis points per annum on the total $500 million committed line. Further, if the amount outstanding on the line of credit exceeds 33 percent of the total commitment, a usage fee of 25 basis points per annum on the loan outstanding is payable by the Company. These fees and the interest rate margin on outstanding revolver borrowings are subject to change as the Companys credit ratings change. At March 31, 2005, there were no borrowings and $20.5 million in letters of credit outstanding under this facility. At December 31, 2004, there were no borrowings and $26.2 million in letters of credit outstanding under this facility. The level of unused borrowing capacity under the Companys committed syndicated revolving credit facility varies from time to time depending in part upon its consolidated net worth and leverage ratio levels. In addition, the Companys ability to borrow under this facility is conditioned upon compliance with financial and other covenants set forth in the related agreement, including the consolidated net worth requirement and maximum leverage ratio. The Company is currently in compliance with all such covenants. As of March 31, 2005, the Company had borrowing capacity under this facility of $468.7 million, after reductions for letters of credit outstanding.
The Company also maintains $25 million of uncommitted domestic money market facilities and $33.2 million of uncommitted and committed foreign working capital facilities with various banks to meet short-term borrowing requirements. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, there were no borrowings under these facilities. These credit facilities are provided by a small number of commercial banks that also provide the Company with committed credit through the syndicated revolving credit facility and with various cash management, trust and other services.
The Companys credit facilities do not contain any credit rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity of its indebtedness. However, a ratings downgrade would result in an increase in the interest rate and fees payable under its committed syndicated revolving credit facility. Such a downgrade also could adversely affect the Companys ability to renew existing or obtain access to new credit facilities in the future and could increase the cost of such new facilities. Weighted-average interest rates on short-term borrowings were 3.1 percent as of March 31, 2005.
12
The Company has an outstanding contingent liability for guaranteed debt and lease payments of $2.7 million, outstanding Coltec Capital Trust 51/4 % convertible trust preferred securities (TIDES) for $145 million, and letters of credit and bank guarantees of $53.6 million. It was not practical to obtain independent estimates of the fair values for the contingent liability for guaranteed debt and lease payments and for letters of credit. In the opinion of management, non-performance by the other parties to the contingent liabilities will not have a material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial condition.
The Companys committed syndicated revolving credit facility contains various restrictive covenants that, among other things, place limitations on the payment of cash dividends and the repurchase of the Companys capital stock. Under the most restrictive of these covenants, $591.2 million of income retained in the business and additional capital was free from such limitations at March 31, 2005.
Long-Term Debt
The Company maintains a shelf registration statement that allows the Company to issue up to $1.4 billion of debt securities, series preferred stock, common stock, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units.
Senior Notes
In March 2005, the Company called for the redemption of $100 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.45 percent senior notes due in 2007 and entered into a $100 million reverse treasury lock to protect itself against movements in treasury rates prior to the redemption date. As further discussed in Note 16, Derivatives and Hedging Activities and Note 19, Subsequent Events, the notes were redeemed and the reverse treasury lock matured during April 2005. The Company also terminated $17.9 million of a $100 million fixed-to-floating interest rate swap on its 6.45 percent senior notes due in 2007 in April 2005.
Medium Term Notes Payable
From time to time, the Company has issued long-term debt securities in the public markets through a medium-term note (MTN) program. MTN notes outstanding at March 31, 2005 consisted entirely of fixed-rate non-callable debt securities. All MTN notes outstanding were issued between 1995 and 1998, with interest rates ranging from 6.5 percent to 8.7 percent and maturity dates ranging from 2008 to 2046.
Note 11. Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
Lease Commitments
The Company finances its use of certain of its office and manufacturing facilities as well as machinery and equipment, including corporate aircraft, under various committed lease arrangements provided by financial institutions. Certain of these arrangements allow the Company to claim a deduction for tax depreciation on the assets, rather than the lessor, and allow the Company to lease equipment having a maximum unamortized value of $90 million at March 31, 2005. At March 31, 2005, $48.3 million of future minimum lease payments were outstanding under these arrangements. The other arrangements are standard operating leases. Future minimum lease payments under the standard operating leases approximated $153.9 million at March 31, 2005.
Sale of Receivables
At March 31, 2005, the Company had in place a variable rate trade receivables securitization program pursuant to which the Company could sell receivables up to a maximum of $140 million. Accounts receivable sold under this program were $96.6 million at March 31, 2005. Continued availability of the securitization program is conditioned upon compliance with covenants, related primarily to operation of the securitization, set forth in the related agreements. The Company is currently in compliance with all such covenants. The securitization does not contain any credit rating downgrade triggers.

The accumulated gain on cash flow hedges above is net of deferred taxes of $28.8 million and $38.6 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. No income taxes are provided on foreign currency translation gains as foreign earnings are considered permanently invested.
Note 14. Income Taxes
The Companys effective tax rate was 34.8 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 31 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2004. The Companys effective tax rate increase resulted from recording valuation allowances against losses in certain foreign jurisdictions, growth in before tax book income relative to the Companys significant permanent items, and the estimated impact of the phase-in of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, which replaced certain export sales deductions with a deduction for income from qualified domestic production activities.
In accordance with SFAS 5, the Company records tax contingencies when the exposure item becomes probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had tax contingency reserves of approximately $315.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company recorded a provision of $5.5 million and made payments of $2.6 million (net of federal tax benefit). As of March 31, 2005, the Company had recorded tax contingency reserves of approximately $318.7 million. The contingencies that comprise the reserves are more fully described in Note 17, Contingencies.
15
On October 22, 2004, the President signed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act). The Act provides a deduction for income from qualified domestic production activities, which will be phased in from 2005 through 2010. The Act provides for a two-year phase-out of the existing Extraterritorial Income (ETI) deduction for export sales that was ruled by the World Trade Organization to be inconsistent with international trade protocols. Under the guidance provided in FASB Staff Position No. FAS 109-1, Application of SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, the deduction will be treated as a special deduction as described in SFAS 109. As such, the special deduction had no effect on the Companys deferred tax assets and liabilities existing at the enactment date. Rather, the impact of this deduction will be reported in the period in which the deduction is claimed on the Companys tax return.
The Act also created a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85 percent dividends received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations. The deduction is subject to a number of limitations and, as of March 31, 2005, the Company remains uncertain as to how to interpret numerous provisions in the Act. It is the Companys current intention to continue to indefinitely reinvest its undistributed earnings and, accordingly, no deferred tax liability has been recorded in connection therewith. The Company is currently analyzing the impact of the temporary dividends received deduction provisions in the Act and expects to complete its analysis by June 30, 2005.
The Company has not provided for U.S. federal and foreign withholding taxes on $347 million of foreign subsidiaries undistributed earnings as of December 31, 2004, because such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely. It is not practical to determine the amount of income tax liability that would result if such earnings actually were repatriated. On repatriation, certain foreign countries impose withholding taxes. The amount of withholding tax that would be payable on remittance of the entire amount of undistributed earnings would approximate $25.3 million.
Note 15. Business Segment Information
The Company has three business segments: Airframe Systems, Engine Systems and Electronic Systems.
Airframe Systems
Airframe Systems provides systems and components pertaining to aircraft taxi, take-off, landing and stopping.

Note 16. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company has subsidiaries that conduct a substantial portion of their business in Euros, Great Britain Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars and Polish Zlotys, but have significant sales contracts that are denominated in U.S. Dollars. Periodically, the Company enters into forward contracts to exchange U.S. Dollars for Euros, Great Britain Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars and Polish Zlotys.
The forward contracts described above are used to mitigate the potential volatility to earnings and cash flow arising from changes in currency exchange rates. The forward contracts are being accounted for as cash flow hedges. The forward contracts are recorded in the Companys Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value with the offset reflected in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss), net of deferred taxes. The notional value of the forward contracts at March 31, 2005 was $690.1 million. The fair value of the forward contracts at March 31, 2005 was an asset of $82.2 million, of which $63.4 million was recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets and $19.4 million was recorded in Other Assets offset by $0.6 million recorded in Accrued Expenses.
The total fair value of the forward contracts of $82.2 million (before deferred taxes of $28.8 million) was recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) and will be reflected in income as the individual contracts mature which will offset the earnings effect of the hedged item. As of March 31, 2005, the portion of the $82.2 million fair value that would be reclassified into earnings as an increase in sales to offset the effect of the hedged item in the next 12 months is a gain of $62.8 million.
In March 2005, the Company called for redemption of $100 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.45 percent senior notes due in 2007 and entered into a $100 million reverse treasury lock to protect itself against movements in treasury rates prior to the redemption date of April 26, 2005. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, (SFAS 133), at March 31, 2005, the reverse treasury lock was accounted for as a cash flow hedge and was recorded in the Companys Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value with the offset reflected in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss), net of deferred taxes. The fair value of the reverse treasury lock at March 31, 2005 was an asset of $0.2 million, which was recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets. See Note 19, Subsequent Events.
Fair Value Hedges
In July 2003, the Company entered into a $100 million fixed-to-floating interest rate swap on the 6.45 percent senior notes due in 2007. In October 2003, the Company entered into two $50 million fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps. One $50 million swap is on the Companys 7.5 percent senior notes due in 2008 and the other $50 million swap is on the Companys 6.45 percent medium-term notes due in 2008. In December 2003, the Company entered into another $50 million fixed-to-floating interest rate swap on its 7.5 percent senior notes due in 2008. The purpose of entering into these swaps was to increase the Companys exposure to variable interest rates. The settlement and maturity dates on each swap are the same as those on the referenced notes. In accordance with SFAS 133, the interest rate swaps are being accounted for as fair value hedges and the carrying value of the notes has been adjusted
18
to reflect the fair values of the interest rate swaps. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was a liability (loss) of $5.2 million at March 31, 2005.
As further discussed in Note 19, Subsequent Events, in April 2005 the Company terminated $17.9 million of a $100 million fixed-to-floating interest rate swap on its 6.45 percent notes due in 2007.
Other Forward Contracts
As a supplement to the foreign exchange cash flow hedging program, in January 2004 the Company began to enter into forward contracts to manage its foreign currency risk related to the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the relevant functional currency. These forward contracts mature monthly and the notional amounts are adjusted periodically to reflect changes in net monetary asset balances. The gains or losses on these forward contracts are being recorded in earnings when realized in order to mitigate the earnings impact of the translation of net monetary assets. Under this program, as of March 31, 2005, the Company had forward contracts with a notional value of $89.8 million to buy Great Britain Pounds Sterling, contracts with a net notional value of $10.3 million to buy Euros, contracts with a notional value of $23.1 million to sell Canadian Dollars and contracts with a notional value of $6.2 million to buy Singapore Dollars.
Note 17. Contingencies
General
There are pending or threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings, all arising from the ordinary course of business with respect to commercial, product liability, asbestos and environmental matters, which seek remedies or damages. The Company believes that any liability that may finally be determined with respect to commercial and non-asbestos product liability claims should not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. From time to time, the Company is also involved in legal proceedings as a plaintiff involving tax, contract, patent protection, environmental and other matters. Gain contingencies, if any, are recognized when they are realized. Legal costs are generally expensed when incurred.
Environmental
The Company is subject to various domestic and international environmental laws and regulations which may require that it investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations, including sites at which it has been identified as a potentially responsible party 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 these laws.
The measurement of environmental liabilities by the Company is based on currently available facts, present laws and regulations and current technology. Such estimates take into consideration the Companys prior experience in site investigation and remediation, the data concerning cleanup costs available from other companies and regulatory authorities and the professional judgment of the Companys environmental specialists in consultation with outside environmental specialists, when necessary. Estimates of the Companys 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 estimates of appropriate cleanup technology, methodology and cost, 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 of these sites proceed, it is likely that adjustments in the Companys accruals will be necessary to reflect new information. The amounts of any such adjustments could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations in a given period, but the amounts, and the possible range of loss in excess of the amounts accrued, are not reasonably estimable. 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 it has been identified as a potentially responsible party are likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition. There can be no assurance, however, that additional future developments, administrative actions or
19
liabilities relating to environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or cash flows in a given period.
Environmental liabilities, including legal costs, 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 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 reduced 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 and an assessment of the likelihood that such parties will fulfill their obligations at such sites.
The Companys Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included an accrued liability for environmental remediation obligations of $86.4 million and $88.5 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, $15.5 million and $16.2 million, respectively, of the accrued liability for environmental remediation was included in current liabilities as Accrued Expenses. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, $29.6 million was associated with ongoing operations and $56.8 million and $58.9 million, respectively, was associated with businesses previously disposed of or discontinued.
The timing of expenditures depends on a number of factors that vary by site, including the nature and extent of contamination, the number of potentially responsible parties, the timing of regulatory approvals, the complexity of the investigation and remediation, and the standards for remediation. The Company expects that it will expend present accruals over many years, and will complete remediation in less than 30 years on all sites for which it has been identified as a potentially responsible party. This period includes operation and monitoring costs that are generally incurred over 15 to 25 years.
Asbestos
The Company and a number of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various actions by plaintiffs alleging injury or death as a result of exposure to asbestos fibers in products, or which may have been present in its facilities. A number of these cases involve maritime claims, which have been and are expected to continue to be administratively dismissed by the court. These actions primarily relate to previously owned businesses. The Company believes that pending and reasonably anticipated future actions, net of anticipated insurance recoveries, are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. There can be no assurance, however, that future legislative or other developments will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations in a given period.
The Company believes that substantial insurance coverage is available to it related to any remaining claims. However, the primary layer of insurance coverage for some of these claims is provided by the Kemper Insurance Companies. Kemper has indicated that, due to capital constraints and downgrades from various rating agencies, it has ceased underwriting new business and now focuses on administering policy commitments from prior years. Kemper has also indicated that it is currently operating under a run-off plan approved by the Illinois Department of Insurance. The Company cannot predict the impact of Kempers financial position on the availability of the Kemper insurance.
Liabilities of Divested Businesses
Asbestos
In May 2002, the Company completed the tax free spin-off of its Engineered Products (EIP) segment, which at the time of the spin-off included Enpro Industries, Inc. (EnPro) and Coltec Industries Inc. (Coltec). At that time, two subsidiaries of Coltec were defendants in a significant number of personal injury claims relating to alleged asbestos-containing products sold by those subsidiaries. It is possible that asbestos-related claims might be asserted against the Company on the theory that it has some responsibility for the asbestos-related liabilities of EnPro, Coltec or its subsidiaries, even though the activities that led to those claims occurred prior to the Companys ownership of any of
20
those subsidiaries. Also, it is possible that a claim might be asserted against the Company that Coltecs dividend of its aerospace business to the Company prior to the spin-off was made at a time when Coltec was insolvent or caused Coltec to become insolvent. Such a claim could seek recovery from the Company on behalf of Coltec of the fair market value of the dividend.
A limited number of asbestos-related claims have been asserted against the Company as successor to Coltec or one of its subsidiaries. The Company believes that it has substantial legal defenses against these claims, as well as against any other claims that may be asserted against the Company on the theories described above. In addition, the agreement between EnPro and the Company that was used to effectuate the spin-off provides the Company with an indemnification from EnPro covering, among other things, these liabilities. The success of any such asbestos-related claims would likely require, as a practical matter, that Coltecs subsidiaries were unable to satisfy their asbestos-related liabilities and that Coltec was found to be responsible for these liabilities and was unable to meet its financial obligations. The Company believes any such claims would be without merit and that Coltec was solvent both before and after the dividend of its aerospace business to the Company. If the Company is ultimately found to be responsible for the asbestos-related liabilities of Coltecs subsidiaries, it believes it would not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, but could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and cash flows in a particular period. However, because of the uncertainty as to the number, timing and payments related to future asbestos-related claims, there can be no assurance that any such claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. If a claim related to the dividend of Coltecs aerospace business were successful, it could have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Other
In connection with the divestiture of the Companys tire, vinyl and other businesses, the Company has received contractual rights of indemnification from third parties for environmental and other claims arising out of the divested businesses. Failure of these third parties to honor their indemnification obligations could have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Guarantees
The Company has guaranteed amounts owed by Coltec Capital Trust with respect to the $145 million of outstanding TIDES and has guaranteed Coltecs performance of its obligations with respect to the TIDES and the underlying Coltec convertible subordinated debentures. Following the spin-off of the EIP segment, the TIDES remained outstanding as an obligation of Coltec Capital Trust and the Companys guarantee with respect to the TIDES remains the Companys obligation. EnPro, Coltec and Coltec Capital Trust have agreed to indemnify the Company for any costs and liabilities arising under or related to the TIDES after the spin-off.
In addition to the Companys guarantee of the TIDES, at March 31, 2005, the Company has an outstanding contingent liability for guarantees of debt and lease payments of $2.7 million, letters of credit and bank guarantees of $53.6 million, residual value of leases of $51.8 million and executive loans to purchase the Companys stock of $1 million. See Note 18, Guarantees.
Commercial Airline Customers
Several of the Companys commercial airline customers are experiencing financial difficulties. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations on the financial condition of all of its customers and maintains reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable based upon expected collectibility. Although the Company believes its reserves are adequate, it is not able to predict the future financial stability of these customers. Any material change in the financial status of any one or group of customers could have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The extent to which extended payment terms are granted to customers may negatively affect future cash flows.
21
Tax
In 2000, Coltec, the Companys former subsidiary, made a $113.7 million payment to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for an income tax assessment and the related accrued interest arising out of certain capital loss deductions and tax credits taken in 1996. On February 13, 2001, Coltec filed suit against the U.S. Government in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims seeking a refund of this payment. The trial portion of the case was completed in May 2004. On November 2, 2004, the Company was notified that the trial court ruled in favor of Coltec and ordered the Government to refund federal tax payments of $82.8 million to Coltec. This tax refund will also bear interest to the date of payment. As of March 31, 2005, the interest amount was approximately $47.1 million before tax, or $30.6 million after tax. A final judgment was entered in this case by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims on February 15, 2005. The Government provided notice on April 15, 2005 of its intention to appeal the decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. If the trial courts decision is ultimately upheld, the Company will be entitled to this tax refund and related interest pursuant to an agreement with Coltec. If the Company receives these amounts, it expects to record net income of approximately $146 million, based on interest through March 31, 2005, and including the release of previously established reserves. If the IRS were to ultimately prevail in this case, Coltec will not owe any additional interest or taxes with respect to 1996. The Company may, however, be required by the IRS to pay up to $32.7 million plus accrued interest with respect to the same items claimed by Coltec in its tax returns for 1997 through 2000. The amount of the previously estimated tax liability if the IRS were to prevail for the 1997 through 2000 period remains fully reserved.
In 2000, the IRS issued a statutory notice of deficiency asserting that Rohr, Inc. (Rohr), the Companys subsidiary, was liable for $85.3 million of additional income taxes for the fiscal years ended July 31, 1986 through 1989. In 2003, the IRS issued an additional statutory notice of deficiency asserting that Rohr was liable for $23 million of additional income taxes for the fiscal years ended July 31, 1990 through 1993. The proposed assessments relate primarily to the timing of certain tax deductions and tax credits. Rohr has filed petitions in the U.S. Tax Court opposing the proposed assessments. Rohr expects that these cases may be scheduled for trial in 2005 and that it will ultimately be successful in these cases. At the time of settlement or final determination by the court, there will be a net cash cost to the Company due at least in part to the reversal of a timing item. The Company believes that its total net cash cost is unlikely to exceed $100 million. The Company is reserved for the estimated liability associated with these cases and as a result, it does not expect a charge to earnings to result from the resolution of these matters.
The Company is continuously undergoing examination by the IRS, as well as various state and foreign jurisdictions. The IRS and other taxing authorities routinely challenge certain deductions and credits reported by the Company on its income tax returns. In accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, the Company establishes reserves for tax contingencies that reflect its best estimate of the deductions and credits that it may be unable to sustain, or that it could be willing to concede as part of a broader tax settlement. As of March 31, 2005, the Company had recorded tax contingency reserves of approximately $318.7 million.
The current IRS examination audit cycle began in March 2002 and relates to the following consolidated income tax groups for the following years:
Rohr, Inc. and Subsidiaries
|
July, 1995 December, 1997 (through date of acquisition) | |
Coltec Industries Inc and Subsidiaries
|
December, 1997 July, 1999 (through date of acquisition) | |
Goodrich Corporation and Subsidiaries
|
1998-1999 (including Rohr and Coltec) |
There are numerous tax issues that have been raised during the examination by the IRS, including, but not limited to, transfer pricing, research and development credits, foreign tax credits, tax accounting for long-term contracts, tax accounting for inventory, tax accounting for stock options, depreciation, amortization and the proper timing for certain other deductions for income tax purposes.
Rohr has been under examination by the State of California for the tax years ending July 31, 1985, 1986 and 1987. The State of California has disallowed certain expenses incurred by one of Rohrs subsidiaries in connection with the lease of certain tangible property. Californias State Board of Equalization has held that the deductions
22
associated with the leased equipment were non-business deductions. As of March 31, 2005 the Company made a voluntary payment of approximately $3.9 million related to items that were not being contested. Approximately $0.6 million related to tax and approximately $3.3 million related to interest on the tax. The remaining tax assessment of approximately $4.9 million continues to be contested by the Company. The amount of interest on the remaining tax assessment is approximately $17.7 million. The Company believes that it is adequately reserved for this contingency.
Note 18. Guarantees
The Company extends financial and product performance guarantees to third parties. As of March 31, 2005, the following environmental remediation indemnification and financial guarantees were outstanding:

TIDES
In connection with the Companys acquisition of Coltec on July 12, 1999, the Company guaranteed amounts owed by Coltec Capital Trust with respect to the $145 million of outstanding TIDES and has guaranteed Coltecs performance of its obligations with respect to Coltecs guarantee of the TIDES and the underlying Coltec convertible junior subordinated debentures. Following the spin-off of the Companys EIP segment, the TIDES remained outstanding as an obligation of Coltec Capital Trust and the Companys guarantee with respect to the TIDES remains an obligation of the Company. EnPro, Coltec and Coltec Capital Trust have agreed to indemnify the Company for any costs and liabilities arising under or relating to the TIDES after the spin-off.
The Companys guarantee requires that the Company pay, to the extent not paid by Coltec Capital Trust, distributions or other payments on the TIDES to the extent that Coltec Capital Trust has funds available therefore at such time, and that it pay or perform, to the extent not paid or performed by Coltec, Coltecs obligations under its guarantee of the TIDES and under the underlying Coltec convertible junior subordinated debentures. The Companys guarantee is unsecured and is subordinated in right of payment to all of the Companys senior debt that is currently outstanding or that may be incurred in the future.
The Companys guarantee will terminate upon full payment of the redemption price for the TIDES, the distribution of the Coltec convertible junior subordinated debentures or full payment of the amounts payable upon liquidation of Coltec Capital Trust.
Debt and Lease Payments
The debt and lease payments primarily represent obligations of the Company under industrial development revenue bonds to finance additions to facilities that have since been divested. Each of these obligations was assumed by a third party in connection with the Companys divestiture of the related facilities. If the assuming parties default, the Company will be liable for payment of the obligations. The industrial development revenue bonds mature in February 2008.
23
Residual Value on Leases
Residual value on leases relate to corporate aircraft and production equipment leases pursuant to which the Company is obligated to either purchase the leased equipment at the end of the lease term or remarket the leased equipment. The residual values were established at lease inception. The lease terms for the corporate aircraft mature in 2011 and 2012. The lease term for the production equipment matures in July 2005 but may be extended.
Executive Loans to Purchase Company Stock
The executive loans to purchase Company stock are full-recourse bank loans made pursuant to the Companys Executive Stock Purchase Program (the Program). The Company has guaranteed the loans in the event of default, but has recourse to the executives if the Company incurs a loss under the guarantee. Participants in the Program are fully liable for any losses, as well as for the repayment of the loans when they come due. Two loans were outstanding at March 31, 2005. One loan had a maturity date of March 31, 2005 and the other loan matures on September 30, 2006. The loan that matured on March 31, 2005 was paid in full on April 4, 2005. The Program was suspended effective August 16, 2002, and no further loans may be made under the Program. None of the loans has been modified since the Company suspended the Program.
Service and Product Warranties
The Company provides service and warranty policies on its products. Liability under service and warranty policies is based upon specific claims and a review of historical warranty and service claim experience. Adjustments are made to accruals as claim data and historical experience change. In addition, the Company incurs discretionary costs to service its products in connection with product performance issues.
The changes in the carrying amount of service and product warranties for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are as follows:

Note 19. Subsequent Events
Redemption of Outstanding 6.45% Notes due 2007
On March 24, 2005, the Company called for the redemption of $100 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.45 percent senior notes due in 2007. The notes were redeemed on April 26, 2005 and the Company will record $6.3 million of debt premiums and associated costs in Other Income (Expense) Net in the second quarter of 2005. The redemption price per $1,000 principal amount of notes was $1,058.25 plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. On March 29, 2005, the Company entered into a $100 million reverse treasury lock to protect itself against movements in treasury rates prior to the redemption date of the 6.45 percent senior notes. The reverse treasury lock matured on April 21, 2005 and the Company will record a $0.7 million gain in Other Income (Expense) Net in the second quarter 2005.
24
Termination of Fixed-to-Floating Interest Rate Swap
On April 4, 2005, the Company terminated $17.9 million of a $100 million fixed-to-floating interest rate swap on its 6.45 percent notes due in 2007. The Company will record a $0.4 million loss related to the termination in Other Income (Expense) Net in the second quarter of 2005. This portion of the interest rate swap was terminated so that the outstanding notional amount of the fixed-to-floating interest rate swap would be proportional to the outstanding principal amount, subsequent to the redemption, of the 6.45 percent notes due in 2007.
Sale of JcAIR Test Systems
On April 19, 2005, the Company completed the sale of its JcAIR Test Systems business (Test Systems) to Aeroflex Incorporated of Plainview, New York, for $35 million in cash. The purchase price is subject to certain purchase price adjustments. Test Systems is reported in the Electronic Systems Segment. The Company expects to report an after tax gain on the sale of the business of approximately $13 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. The Company will report the gain on the sale and results of operations for all prior periods of JcAIR Test Systems as discontinued operations beginning in the second quarter of 2005. Sales and operating income for Test Systems were as follows:

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
YOU SHOULD READ THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS DOCUMENT.
THIS MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. SEE FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO RISK AND UNCERTAINTY FOR A DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN OF THE UNCERTAINTIES, RISKS AND ASSUMPTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE STATEMENTS.
UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED HEREIN, DISCLOSURES PERTAIN ONLY TO OUR CONTINUING OPERATIONS.
OVERVIEW
We are one of the largest worldwide suppliers of aerospace components, systems and services to the commercial, regional, business and general aviation markets. We are also a leading supplier of systems and products to the global military and space markets. Our business is conducted globally with manufacturing, service and sales undertaken in various locations throughout the world. Our products and services are principally sold to customers in North America, Europe and Asia.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, we reported net income of $58 million, or $0.47 per diluted share. Sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 were $1,282 million. For the quarter ended March 31, 2004, we reported net income of $47 million, or $0.39 per diluted share. Sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 were $1,162 million. Foreign currency translation was responsible for approximately $9 million of the $120 million increase in sales. The remaining increase resulted primarily from increased sales of commercial aerospace aftermarket products and services.
Income from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, increased $27 million over the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to the increased sales of commercial aerospace aftermarket products and services. During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, we wrote off notes and accounts receivable of $5 million after tax. There were no similar write-offs during the first quarter of 2005. Our effective tax rate was 34.8 percent during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and 31 percent during the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase in our effective tax rate resulted from recording valuation allowances against losses in certain foreign jurisdictions, growth in before tax book income relative to our significant permanent items, and the estimated impact of the phase-in of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, which replaced certain export sales deductions with a deduction for income from qualified domestic production activities.
Effective January 1, 2004, we changed two aspects of the application of contract accounting for our aerostructures business which resulted in a $16.2 million after tax gain ($23.3 million before tax gain) that was recorded as a Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting in the quarter ended March 31, 2004.
Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations decreased $28.8 million from $48.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2004 to $19.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Net cash provided by operating activities in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 included an increase in the sale of accounts receivable under our securitization program of $24.3 million offset in part by worldwide pension contributions of $3.3 million. Net cash provided by operating activities in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 was also reduced by higher working capital requirements primarily for accounts receivable and inventory. Net cash provided by operating activities in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 included cash received from the termination of certain life insurance policies of $23.4 million, offset in part by the acquisition of certain aftermarket rights of $15 million, a reduction in the accounts receivable sold under our securitization program of $14.5 million, worldwide pension contributions of $13.2 million and the pre-funding of the redemption of certain industrial revenue bonds of $4 million.
26
Net cash used by investing activities of continuing operations was $35.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and $23.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Net cash used by investing activities of continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 included capital expenditures of $27 million and the acquisition of the minority interest in one of our businesses of $8.8 million. Net cash used by investing activities of continuing operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 included capital expenditures of $22.9 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations was $5.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2005, compared to a $74.8 million use of cash by financing activities of continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, we issued common stock of $34.1 million, primarily in connection with the exercise of stock options, and paid dividends to shareholders of $23.8 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, we repaid the balance of the 8.30% Cumulative Quarterly Income Preferred Securities, Series A (QUIPS) of $63.5 million.
Long-term debt and capital lease obligations, including current maturities of long-term debt and capital lease obligations, at March 31, 2005 was $1,896 million compared to $1,902 million at December 31, 2004. At March 31, 2005, we had cash and marketable securities of $286 million as compared to $298 million at December 31, 2004.
We maintain a committed syndicated revolving credit facility expiring in August 2006 that permits borrowing, including letters of credit, up to a maximum of $500 million. At March 31, 2005, there were no borrowings and $20.5 million in letters of credit outstanding under this facility. At March 31, 2005, we had borrowing capacity under this facility of $468.7 million, after reductions for letters of credit outstanding. At March 31, 2005, we maintained $25 million of uncommitted domestic money market facilities and $33.2 million of uncommitted and committed foreign working capital facilities with various banks to meet short-term borrowing requirements. At March 31, 2005, there were no borrowings under these facilities. We maintain a shelf registration that allows us to issue up to $1.4 billion of debt securities, series preferred stock, common stock, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units.
Our sales for 2005 are expected to grow about 8 to 10 percent from 2004 levels, to a range of $5.1 billion to $5.2 billion. Margin growth in excess of the growth in sales is expected to result in diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in the range of $1.80 per share to $1.95 per share, an increase of 26 to 36 percent from the 2004 diluted earnings from continuing operations. We expect cash flow from operations, minus capital expenditures, to exceed 75 percent of net income in 2005. We expect 2005 capital expenditures to be in the range of $190 million to $210 million. We also expect our effective tax rate for the full year 2005 to be approximately 34 percent. The current earnings and cash flow from operations outlook for 2005 does not include the resolution of the previously disclosed Rohr and Coltec tax litigation or divestitures other than the JcAir Test Systems business. The outlook includes the impact of all completed and anticipated debt retirements. Refer to Outlook for specific assumptions relating to our outlook for 2005.
Our business balance across the aerospace and defense markets continues to be an important strategic aspect of our business. We believe that trends in these markets will have an important impact on future sales. Looking at the quarter ended March 31, 2005 sales by market channel, military and space sales represented approximately 27 percent of sales, total commercial aircraft original equipment (OE) sales, including regional, business and general aviation original equipment sales, represented approximately 31 percent of our sales and total commercial aircraft aftermarket sales for these same aircraft and for aircraft heavy maintenance represented approximately 36 percent of sales. Other areas, including industrial gas turbine components, made up the remaining 6 percent. Overall, our aftermarket sales both for commercial aircraft and military and space markets represented approximately 44 percent of total sales.
We are currently under contract to supply components and systems for a number of new commercial and military aircraft programs, including the Airbus A380 and A350, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the Embraer 190 and the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Striker Fighter, which should fuel consistent long-term growth.
We expect continued growth in our key markets in 2005. In this environment, we are carefully focused on resource allocation to deliver maximum long-term value for all of our stakeholders.
27
OUTLOOK
We have increased our 2005 outlook from that provided in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The full year 2005 outlook for sales has been increased from a range of $5 billion to $5.1 billion to a range of $5.1 billion to $5.2 billion. The current outlook represents a sales increase of about 8 to 10 percent from 2004 levels. Expected margin growth in excess of the growth in sales has resulted in an increase in our outlook for diluted earnings per share (EPS) from $1.60 to $1.80 per diluted share to $1.80 to $1.95 per diluted share, an increase of 26 to 36 percent from 2004 diluted EPS.
This outlook includes the impact of the sale of JcAIR Test Systems and all completed and anticipated debt retirements, neither of which were included in our prior outlook. The net impact of these two items for the full year 2005 is expected to be income of approximately $0.04 to $0.05 per diluted share.
We currently expect an effective tax rate for the full year 2005 of approximately 34 percent, compared to the 32 percent rate that we assumed in our prior 2005 outlook.
Our current 2005 outlook is based on the following market assumptions:
| Deliveries of Airbus and Boeing large commercial aircraft are expected to increase by 10 to 15 percent annually in both 2005 and 2006, based on the announced plans by Airbus and Boeing. Our commercial aircraft original equipment (OE) sales are projected to increase by more than 15 percent in 2005, compared to 2004. | |||
| Capacity in the global airline system, as measured by available seat miles (ASMs), is expected to continue to grow. Our sales to airlines for large commercial and regional aircraft aftermarket parts and service are expected to grow approximately 6 percent in 2005, compared to 2004, and in-line with expectations for global ASM increases. | |||
| Total regional and business aircraft production is expected to be relatively flat in 2005, compared to 2004, as deliveries of business jets are expected to increase, offsetting the expected decrease in regional aircraft deliveries. Deliveries to Embraer in support of its EMBRAER 190 aircraft, which includes significant content of our products, are expected to enable us to increase our OE sales in this market channel for the full year 2005, compared to 2004. | |||
| Military sales (OE and aftermarket) are expected to increase 5 to 6 percent in 2005, compared to 2004, representing a growth rate slightly greater than global military budgets. |
We continue to expect cash flow from operations, minus capital expenditures, to exceed 75 percent of net income in 2005. We continue to expect 2005 capital expenditures to be in the range of $190 million to $210 million.
The current earnings and cash flow from operations outlook for 2005 does not include resolution of the previously disclosed Rohr and Coltec tax litigation or divestitures other than the JcAIR Test Systems business.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Changes in Accounting Method
Effective January 1, 2004, we changed two aspects of the application of contract accounting to preferable methods for our aerostructures business, which is included in the Engine Systems segment. The first is a change to the cumulative catch-up method from the reallocation method for accounting for changes in contract estimates of revenue and costs. The change was effected by adjusting contract profit rates from the balance to complete gross profit rate to the estimated gross profit rate at completion of the contract. The second change related to pre-certification costs. Under the old policy, pre-certification costs exceeding the level anticipated in our original investment model used to negotiate contractual terms were expensed when determined regardless of overall contract profitability. Under the new policy, pre-certification costs, including those in excess of original estimated levels, will be included in total contract costs used to evaluate overall contract profitability. The impact of the changes in
28
accounting method was to record a $16.2 million after tax gain ($23.3 million before tax gain) as a Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting.

Changes in sales and segment operating income are discussed within the Business Segment Performance section below.
Corporate general and administrative costs of $20.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 increased $1 million, or 5.1 percent, from $19.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 primarily due to higher incentive compensation and audit fees offset in part by lower tax litigation costs and foreign exchange gains. Corporate general and administrative costs as a percentage of sales were 1.6 percent in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and 1.7 percent in the quarter ended March 31, 2004.
Net interest expense decreased $3.6 million, or 9.8 percent, primarily due to lower debt levels.
Other Income (Expense) Net decreased by $7.9 million, or 43.9 percent, to expense of $10.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 from expense of $18 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in expense resulted primarily from the absence in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 of a $7 million impairment of a note receivable that was recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2004.
Our effective tax rate was 34.8 percent during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and 31 percent during the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase in our effective tax rate resulted from recording valuation allowances against losses in certain foreign jurisdictions, growth in before tax book income relative to our significant permanent items, and the estimated impact of the phase-in of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, which replaced certain export sales deductions with a deduction for income from qualified domestic production activities.
As noted above, effective January 1, 2004, we changed two aspects of the application of contract accounting for our aerostructures business which resulted in a $16.2 million after tax gain ($23.3 million before tax gain) that was recorded as a Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting in the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

BUSINESS SEGMENT PERFORMANCE
Our operations are reported as three business segments: Airframe Systems, Engine Systems and Electronic Systems.
In the following table, segment operating income represents total segment revenue reduced by operating expenses directly identifiable with the applicable business segment.

Airframe Systems: Airframe Systems segment sales of $442.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 increased $40.1 million, or 10 percent, from $402.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to the following:
| Higher landing gear commercial OE sales volume; | |||
| Higher military and commercial aircraft wheel and brake sales volume; | |||
| Higher sales of airframe heavy maintenance services; and | |||
| Favorable currency translation on non-U.S. dollar sales, primarily in the actuation systems and landing gear businesses. |
Airframe Systems segment operating income increased $6.7 million, or 31.8 percent, from $21.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 to $27.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Segment operating income increased primarily as a result of the higher sales volume as described above.
Engine Systems: Engine Systems segment sales of $528.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 increased $29.6 million, or 5.9 percent, from $498.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase was due to the following:
| Higher aerostructures engine OE, U.S. military and commercial spares and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) sales volume; | |||
| Higher cargo systems commercial OE sales volume; | |||
| Higher sales volume of turbine fuel engine components and turbomachinery products for U.S. military and regional aircraft applications and in the power generation market; | |||
| Higher revenues from asset management arrangements with airlines for aftermarket support from customer services; and | |||
| Favorable currency translation on non-U.S. dollar sales, primarily in the engine controls business. |
30
The increase in Engine Systems segment sales was partially offset by decreased sales volume of military OE and aftermarket engine controls.
Engine Systems segment operating income increased $16.1 million, or 21.6 percent, from $74.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 to $90.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Segment operating income was higher due to:
| Higher sales volume as described above; and | |||
| Improved aftermarket sales mix, primarily for aerostructures products. |
The increase in Engine Systems segment operating income was partially offset by:
| Increased aerostructures contract costs for certain U.S. military and commercial jet applications resulting in a $5.1 million cumulative catch-up charge; and |
| Decreased sales volume of military OE and aftermarket engine controls. |
Electronic Systems: Electronic Systems segment sales of $311.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 increased $50.2 million, or 19.3 percent, from $261 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to:
| Higher sales volume of regional and business jet aircraft OE and aftermarket products for the aircraft interior products, de-icing & specialty systems, sensor systems and power systems businesses; |
| Higher sales volume of military OE and aftermarket sales in nearly all of our business units; and |
| Higher sales volume of commercial OE for the aircraft interior products, sensors, fuel & utility systems, lighting and power systems businesses. |
Electronic Systems segment operating income increased $10.5 million, or 45.9 percent, from $22.9 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 to $33.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The increased volume from sales described above favorably affected segment operating income.
The increase in segment operating income was partially offset by:
| Unfavorable sales mix shift from commercial and military aftermarket towards proportionately more OE sales in military, regional and business and commercial markets; and |
| Increased investments in research and development costs for new programs that have been won. |
Subsequent Event
On April 19, 2005, we completed the sale of our JcAIR Test Systems business (Test Systems) to Aeroflex Incorporated of Plainview, New York, for $35 million in cash. The purchase price is subject to certain purchase price adjustments. Test Systems is reported in the Electronic Systems Segment. We expect to report an after-tax gain on the sale of the business of approximately $13 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. We will report the gain on the sale and results of operations for all prior periods of Test Systems as discontinued operations beginning in the quarter ending June 30, 2005. Sales and contribution to segment operating income for Test Systems were $6.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in the quarter ended March 31, 2005.
31
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We currently expect to fund expenditures for capital requirements as well as liquidity needs from a combination of cash, internally generated funds and financing arrangements. We believe that our internal liquidity, together with access to external capital resources, will be sufficient to satisfy existing commitments and plans and also provide adequate financial flexibility.
Cash
At March 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $286.4 million, as compared to $297.9 million at December 31, 2004.
Credit Facilities
We have a committed syndicated revolving credit facility expiring in August 2006 that permits borrowing, including letters of credit, up to a maximum of $500 million. At March 31, 2005, there were no borrowings and $20.5 million in letters of credit outstanding under this facility. At December 31, 2004, there were no borrowings and $26.2 million in letters of credit outstanding under this facility.
The level of unused borrowing capacity under our committed syndicated revolving credit facility varies from time to time depending in part upon our consolidated net worth and leverage ratio levels. In addition, our ability to borrow under this facility is conditioned upon compliance with financial and other covenants set forth in the related agreement, including the consolidated net worth requirement and maximum leverage ratio. We are currently in compliance with all such covenants. As of March 31, 2005, we had borrowing capacity under this facility of $468.7 million, after reductions for letters of credit outstanding.
At March 31, 2005, we maintained $25 million of uncommitted domestic money market facilities and $33.2 million of uncommitted and committed foreign working capital facilities with various banks to meet short-term borrowing requirements. As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, there were no borrowings under these facilities. These credit facilities are provided by a small number of commercial banks that also provide us with committed credit through the syndicated revolving credit facility and with various cash management, trust and other services.
Our credit facilities do not contain any credit rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity of our indebtedness. However, a ratings downgrade would result in an increase in the interest rate and fees payable under our committed syndicated revolving credit facility. Such a downgrade also could adversely affect our ability to renew existing or obtain access to new credit facilities in the future and could increase the cost of such new facilities.
Long-Term Financing
At March 31, 2005, we had long-term debt and capital lease obligations, including current maturities, of $1,895.8 million with maturities ranging from 2005 to 2046. The earliest maturity of a material long-term debt obligation is December 2007. We also maintain a shelf registration statement that allows us to issue up to $1.4 billion of debt securities, series preferred stock, common stock, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units.
On March 24, 2005, we called for redemption $100 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.45 percent senior notes due in 2007. The notes were redeemed on April 26, 2005 and we will record $6.3 million of debt premiums and associated costs in Other Income (Expense) Net in the quarter ending June 30, 2005. On March 29, 2005, we entered into a $100 million reverse treasury lock to protect us against movements in treasury rates prior to the redemption date of the 6.45 percent senior notes. The reverse treasury lock matured on April 21, 2005 and we received $0.7 million in cash, which will be recorded as a gain in Other Income (Expense) Net in the quarter ending June 30, 2005. On April 4, 2005, we terminated $17.9 million of a $100 million fixed-to-floating interest rate swap on our 6.45 percent notes due in 2007. We paid $0.4 million in cash to terminate this portion of the interest rate swap and the amount will be recorded as an expense in Other Income (Expense) Net in the quarter ending June 30, 2005. This portion of the interest rate swap was terminated so that the outstanding notional amount
32
of the fixed-to-floating interest rate swap would be proportional to the outstanding principal amount, subsequent to the redemption, of the 6.45 percent notes due in 2007.
We expect to retire up to an additional $100 million of long-term debt during the remainder of 2005.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We utilize several forms of off-balance sheet financing arrangements. At March 31, 2005, these arrangements included:
Undiscounted | ||||||||
Minimum | ||||||||
Future Lease | Receivables | |||||||
Payments | Sold | |||||||
(Dollars in millions) | ||||||||
Tax Advantaged Operating Leases |
$ | 48.3 | ||||||
Standard Operating Leases |
153.9 | |||||||
$ | 202.2 | |||||||
Short-term Receivables Securitization Program |
$ | 96.6 | ||||||
Lease Agreements
We finance our use of certain equipment, including corporate aircraft, under committed lease arrangements provided by financial institutions. Certain of these arrangements allow us to claim a deduction for the tax depreciation on the assets, rather than the lessor, and allow us to lease equipment having a maximum unamortized value of $90 million at March 31, 2005. At March 31, 2005, $48.3 million of future minimum lease payments were outstanding under these arrangements. The other arrangements are standard operating leases. Future minimum lease payments under the standard operating leases approximated $153.9 million at March 31, 2005.
Under certain operating lease agreements, we receive rent holidays, which represent periods of free or reduced rent. Rent holidays are recorded as a liability and recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, we may receive incentives or allowances from the lessor as part of the lease agreement. We recognize these payments as a liability and amortize them as reductions to lease expense over the lease term. We capitalize leasehold improvements and amortize them over the lesser of the lease term or the assets useful life.
Sale of Receivables
At March 31, 2005, we had in place a variable rate trade receivables securitization program pursuant to which we could sell receivables up to a maximum of $140 million. Accounts receivable sold under this program were $96.6 million at March 31, 2005. Continued availability of the securitization program is conditioned upon compliance with covenants, related primarily to operation of the securitization, set forth in the related agreements. We are currently in compliance with all such covenants. The securitization does not contain any credit rating downgrade triggers pursuant to which the program could be terminated.
Cash Flow Hedges
We have subsidiaries that conduct a substantial portion of their business in Euros, Great Britain Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars and Polish Zlotys, but have significant sales contracts that are denominated in U.S. Dollars. Approximately 10 percent of our revenues and approximately 25 percent of our costs are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Over 95 percent of these net costs are in Euros, Great Britain Pounds Sterling and Canadian Dollars. Periodically, we enter into forward contracts to exchange U.S. Dollars for Euros, Great Britain Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars, and Polish Zlotys to hedge a portion of our exposure. When the U.S. Dollar weakens, our unhedged net costs rise in U.S. Dollar terms and our average hedge rates also rise over time.
33
The forward contracts described above are used to mitigate the potential volatility of earnings and cash flow arising from changes in currency exchange rates that impact our non-U.S. Dollar sales and expenses. The forward contracts are being accounted for as cash flow hedges. The forward contracts are recorded on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value with the net change in fair value reflected in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss), net of deferred taxes. The notional value of the forward contracts at March 31, 2005 was $690.1 million. The fair value of the forward contracts at March 31, 2005 was an asset of $82.2 million, of which $63.4 million is recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, $19.4 million is recorded in Other Assets and $0.6 is recorded in Accrued Expenses.
The total fair value of the forward contracts of $82.2 million (before deferred taxes of $28.8 million) is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) and will be reflected in income as the individual contracts mature, which will offset the earnings effect of the hedged item. As of March 31, 2005, the portion of the $82.2 million fair value that would be reclassified into earnings as an increase in sales to offset the effect of the hedged item in the next 12 months is a gain of $62.8 million.
In March 2005, we called for redemption $100 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.45 percent senior notes due in 2007 and entered into a $100 million reverse treasury lock to protect us against movements in treasury rates prior to the redemption date of April 26, 2005. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), at March 31, 2005, the reverse treasury lock was accounted for as a cash flow hedge and was recorded in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value with the offset reflected in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss), net of deferred taxes. The fair value of the reverse treasury lock at March 31, 2005 was an asset of $0.2 million, which was recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets. See Liquidity and Capital Resources-Long-Term Financing.
Fair Value Hedges
In July 2003, we entered into a $100 million fixed-to-floating interest rate swap on the 6.45 percent senior notes due in 2007. In October 2003, we entered into two $50 million fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps. One $50 million swap is on our 7.5 percent senior notes due in 2008 and the other $50 million swap is on our 6.45 percent medium-term notes due in 2008. In December 2003, we entered into another $50 million fixed-to-floating interest rate swap on our 7.5 percent senior notes due in 2008. The purpose of entering into these swaps was to increase our exposure to variable interest rates. The settlement and maturity dates on each swap are the same as those on the referenced notes. In accordance with SFAS 133, the interest rate swaps are being accounted for as fair value hedges and the carrying value of the notes has been adjusted to reflect the fair values of the interest rate swaps. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was a liability (loss) of $5.2 million at March 31, 2005.
In April 2005, we terminated $17.9 million of a $100 million fixed-to-floating interest rate swap on our 6.45 percent notes due in 2007. See Liquidity and Capital Resources-Long-Term Financing.
Other Forward Contracts
As a supplement to our foreign exchange cash flow hedging program, in January 2004 we began to enter into forward contracts to manage our foreign currency risk related to the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the relevant functional currency. These forward contracts mature monthly and the notional amounts are adjusted periodically to reflect changes in net monetary asset balances. The gains or losses on these forward contracts are being recorded in earnings when realized in order to mitigate the earnings impact of the translation of net monetary assets. Under this program, as of March 31, 2005, we had forward contracts with a notional value of $89.8 million to buy Great Britain Pounds Sterling, forward contracts with a notional value of $10.3 million to buy Euros, forward contracts with a notional value of $23.1 million to sell Canadian Dollars and forward contracts with a notional value of $6.2 million to buy Singapore Dollars.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 included an increase in the accounts receivable sold under our securitization program of $24.3 million offset in part by worldwide pension contributions of $3.3 million. Net cash provided by operating activities in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 was also reduced by higher working capital requirements primarily for accounts receivable and inventory. Net cash provided by operating activities in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 included cash received from the termination of certain life insurance policies of $23.4 million offset in part by the acquisition of certain aftermarket rights of $15 million, a reduction in the accounts receivable sold under our securitization program of $14.5 million, worldwide pension contributions of $13.2 million and the pre-funding of the redemption of certain industrial revenue bonds of $4 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash used by investing activities was $35.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and $23.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Net cash used by investing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 included capital expenditures of $27 million and an acquisition of the minority interest in one of our businesses of $8.8 million. Net cash used by investing activities in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 included capital expenditures of $22.9 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $5.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2005, compared to a $74.8 million use of cash by financing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, we issued common stock of $34.1 million, primarily from the exercise of stock options, and paid dividends to shareholders of $23.8 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, we repaid the balance of the QUIPS of $63.5 million.
CONTINGENCIES
General
There are pending or threatened against us or our subsidiaries various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings, all arising from the ordinary course of business with respect to commercial, product liability, asbestos and environmental matters, which seek remedies or damages. We believe that any liability that may finally be determined with respect to commercial and non-asbestos product liability claims should not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. From time to time, we are also involved in legal proceedings as a plaintiff involving tax, contract, patent protection, environmental and other matters. Gain contingencies, if any, are recognized when they are realized. Legal costs are generally expensed when incurred.
35
Environmental
We are subject to various domestic and international environmental laws and regulations which may require that we investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations, including sites at which we have been identified as a potentially responsible party under the federal Superfund laws and comparable state laws. We are currently involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of sites under these laws.
The measurement of environmental liabilities by us is based on currently available facts, present laws and regulations and current technology. Such estimates take into consideration our prior experience in site investigation and remediation, the data concerning cleanup costs available from other companies and regulatory authorities and the professional judgment of our environmental specialists in consultation with outside environmental specialists, when necessary. Estimates of our 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 estimates of appropriate cleanup technology, methodology and cost, 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 of these sites proceed, it is likely that adjustments in our accruals will be necessary to reflect new information. The amounts of any such adjustments could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in a given period, but the amounts, and the possible range of loss in excess of the amounts accrued, are not reasonably estimable. Based on currently available information, however, we do not believe that future environmental costs in excess of those accrued with respect to sites for which we have been identified as a potentially responsible party are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. There can be no assurance, however, that additional future developments, administrative actions or liabilities relating to environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in a given period.
Environmental liabilities, including legal costs, are recorded when our liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable, which generally is not later than at completion of a feasibility study or when we have recommended a remedy or have committed to an appropriate plan of action. 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 reduced 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 and an assessment of the likelihood that such parties will fulfill their obligations at such sites.
Our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included an accrued liability for environmental remediation obligations of $86.4 million and $88.5 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, $15.5 million and $16.2 million, respectively, of the accrued liability for environmental remediation was included in current liabilities as Accrued Expenses. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, $29.6 million was associated with ongoing operation and $56.8 million and $58.9 million, respectively, was associated with businesses previously disposed of or discontinued.
The timing of expenditures depends on a number of factors that vary by site, including the nature and extent of contamination, the number of potentially responsible parties, the timing of regulatory approvals, the complexity of the investigation and remediation, and the standards for remediation. We expect that we will expend present accruals over many years, and will complete remediation in less than 30 years on all sites for which we have been identified as a potentially responsible party. This period includes operation and monitoring costs that are generally incurred over 15 to 25 years.

Asbestos
We and a number of our subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various actions by plaintiffs alleging injury or death as a result of exposure to asbestos fibers in products, or which may have been present in our facilities. A number of these cases involve maritime claims, which have been and are expected to continue to be administratively dismissed by the court. These actions primarily relate to previously owned businesses. We believe that pending and reasonably anticipated future actions, net of anticipated insurance recoveries, are not likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. There can be no assurance, however, that future legislative or other developments will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in a given period.
We believe that we have substantial insurance coverage available to us related to any remaining claims. However, the primary layer of insurance coverage for some of these claims is provided by the Kemper Insurance Companies. Kemper has indicated that, due to capital constraints and downgrades from various rating agencies, it has ceased underwriting new business and now focuses on administering policy commitments from prior years. Kemper has also indicated that it is currently operating under a run-off plan approved by the Illinois Department of Insurance. We cannot predict the impact of Kempers financial position on the availability of the Kemper insurance.
Liabilities of Divested Businesses
Asbestos
In May 2002, we completed the tax free spin-off of our Engineered Products (EIP) segment, which at the time of the spin-off included Enpro Industries, Inc. (EnPro) and Coltec Industries Inc. (Coltec). At that time, two subsidiaries of Coltec were defendants in a significant number of personal injury claims relating to alleged asbestos-containing products sold by those subsidiaries. It is possible that asbestos-related claims might be asserted against us on the theory that we have some responsibility for the asbestos-related liabilities of EnPro, Coltec or its subsidiaries, even though the activities that led to those claims occurred prior to our ownership of any of those subsidiaries. Also, it is possible that a claim might be asserted against us that Coltecs dividend of its aerospace business to us prior to the spin-off was made at a time when Coltec was insolvent or caused Coltec to become insolvent. Such a claim could seek recovery from us on behalf of Coltec of the fair market value of the dividend.
A limited number of asbestos-related claims have been asserted against us as successor to Coltec or one of its subsidiaries. We believe that we have substantial legal defenses against these claims, as well as against any other claims that may be asserted against us on the theories described above. In addition, the agreement between EnPro and us that was used to effectuate the spin-off provides us with an indemnification from EnPro covering, among other things, these liabilities. The success of any such asbestos-related claims would likely require, as a practical matter, that Coltecs subsidiaries were unable to satisfy their asbestos-related liabilities and that Coltec was found to be responsible for these liabilities and was unable to meet its financial obligations. We believe any such claims would be without merit and that Coltec was solvent both before and after the dividend of its aerospace business to us. If we are ultimately found to be responsible for the asbestos-related liabilities of Coltecs subsidiaries, we believe it would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, but could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and cash flows in a particular period. However, because of the uncertainty as to the number, timing and payments related to future asbestos-related claims, there can be no assurance that any such claims will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. If a claim related to the dividend of Coltecs aerospace business were successful, it could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Other
In connection with the divestiture of our tire, vinyl and other businesses, we have received contractual rights of indemnification from third parties for environmental and other claims arising out of the divested businesses. Failure of these third parties to honor their indemnification obligations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
37
Guarantees
We have guaranteed amounts owed by Coltec Capital Trust with respect to the $145 million of outstanding TIDES and have guaranteed Coltecs performance of its obligations with respect to the TIDES and the underlying Coltec convertible subordinated debentures. Following the spin-off of the EIP segment, the TIDES remained outstanding as an obligation of Coltec Capital Trust and our guarantee with respect to the TIDES remains an obligation of ours. EnPro, Coltec and Coltec Capital Trust have agreed to indemnify us for any costs and liabilities arising under or related to the TIDES after the spin-off.
In addition to our guarantee of the TIDES, at March 31, 2005, we have an outstanding contingent liability for guarantees of debt and lease payments of $2.7 million, letters of credit and bank guarantees of $53.6 million, residual value of leases of $51.8 million and executive loans to purchase our stock of $1 million.
Commercial Airline Customers
Several of our commercial airline customers are experiencing financial difficulties. We perform ongoing credit evaluations on the financial condition of all of our customers and maintain reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable based upon expected collectibility. Although we believe our reserves are adequate, we are not able to predict the future financial stability of these customers. Any material change in the financial status of any one or group of customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The extent to which extended payment terms are granted to customers may negatively affect future cash flow.
Tax
In 2000, Coltec, our former subsidiary, made a $113.7 million payment to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for an income tax assessment and the related accrued interest arising out of certain capital loss deductions and tax credits taken in 1996. On February 13, 2001, Coltec filed suit against the U.S. Government in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims seeking a refund of this payment. The trial portion of the case was completed in May 2004. On November 2, 2004, we were notified that the trial court ruled in favor of Coltec and ordered the Government to refund federal tax payments of $82.8 million to Coltec. This tax refund will also bear interest to the date of payment. As of March 31, 2005, the interest amount was approximately $47.1 million before tax, or $30.6 million after tax. A final judgment was entered in this case by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims on February 15, 2005. The Government provided notice on April 15, 2005 of its intention to appeal the decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. If the trial courts decision is ultimately upheld, we will be entitled to this tax refund and related interest pursuant to an agreement with Coltec. If we receive these amounts, we expect to record net income of approximately $146 million, based on interest through March 31, 2005, and including the release of previously established reserves. If the IRS were to ultimately prevail in this case, Coltec will not owe any additional interest or taxes with respect to 1996. We may, however, be required by the IRS to pay up to $32.7 million plus accrued interest with respect to the same items claimed by Coltec in its tax returns for 1997 through 2000. The amount of the previously estimated tax liability if the IRS were to prevail for the 1997 through 2000 period remains fully reserved.
In 2000, the IRS issued a statutory notice of deficiency asserting that Rohr, Inc. (Rohr), our subsidiary, was liable for $85.3 million of additional income taxes for the fiscal years ended July 31, 1986 through 1989. In 2003, the IRS issued an additional statutory notice of deficiency asserting that Rohr was liable for $23 million of additional income taxes for the fiscal years ended July 31, 1990 through 1993. The proposed assessments relate primarily to the timing of certain tax deductions and tax credits. Rohr has filed petitions in the U.S. Tax Court opposing the proposed assessments. Rohr expects that these cases may be scheduled for trial in 2005 and that it will ultimately be successful in these cases. At the time of settlement or final determination by the court, there will be a net cash cost to us due at least in part to the reversal of a timing item. We believe that our total net cash cost is unlikely to exceed $100 million. We are reserved for the estimated liability associated with these cases and as a result, we do not expect a charge to earnings to result from the resolution of these matters.
38
We are continuously undergoing examination by the IRS, as well as various state and foreign jurisdictions. The IRS and other taxing authorities routinely challenge certain deductions and credits reported by us on our income tax returns. In accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, we establish reserves for tax contingencies that reflect our best estimate of the deductions and credits that we may be unable to sustain, or that we could be willing to concede as part of a broader tax settlement. As of March 31, 2005, we had recorded tax contingency reserves of approximately $318.7 million.
The current IRS examination audit cycle began in March, 2002 and relates to the following consolidated income tax groups for the following years:
Rohr, Inc. and Subsidiaries
|
July, 1995 December, 1997 (through date of acquisition) | |
Coltec Industries Inc and Subsidiaries
|
December, 1997 July, 1999 (through date of acquisition) | |
Goodrich Corporation and Subsidiaries
|
1998-1999 (including Rohr and Coltec) |
There are numerous tax issues that have been raised during the examination by the IRS, including, but not limited to, transfer pricing, research and development credits, foreign tax credits, tax accounting for long-term contracts, tax accounting for inventory, tax accounting for stock options, depreciation, amortization and the proper timing for certain other deductions for income tax purposes.
Rohr has been under examination by the State of California for the tax years ending July 31, 1985, 1986 and 1987. The State of California has disallowed certain expenses incurred by one of Rohrs subsidiaries in connection with the lease of certain tangible property. Californias State Board of Equalization has held that the deductions associated with the leased equipment were non-business deductions. As of March 31, 2005 we made a voluntary payment of approximately $3.9 million related to items that were not being contested. Approximately $0.6 million related to tax and approximately $3.3 million related to interest on the tax. The remaining tax assessment of approximately $4.9 million continues to be contested by us. The amount of interest on the remaining tax assessment is approximately $17.7 million. We believe that we are adequately reserved for this contingency.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recently issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151 (SFAS 151), Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. Adoption of SFAS 151 is required by the year beginning January 1, 2006. We plan to adopt SFAS 151 no later than that date. The amendments made by SFAS 151 clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges and requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. While SFAS 151 enhances ARB 43 and clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage), the statement also removes inconsistencies between ARB 43 and IAS 2 and amends ARB 43 to clarify that abnormal amounts of costs should be recognized as period costs. Under some circumstances, according to ARB 43, the above listed costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. SFAS 151 requires these items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of so abnormal and requires allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion. This statement will apply to our businesses if they become subject to abnormal costs as defined in SFAS 151. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that adoption of SFAS 151 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS 123(R)), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. We adopted the SFAS 123 fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payments effective January 1, 2004 using the modified prospective method described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. Currently, we use the Black-Scholes formula to estimate the value of stock options granted to employees. SFAS 123(R) requires that we use the valuation technique that best fits the circumstances. We are currently evaluating other techniques. SFAS 123(R) requires that the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an
39
operating cash flow; thus, reducing net operating cash flows and increasing net financing cash flows in the periods after the effective date. SFAS 123(R) also requires that we estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest and to revise the estimate as the actual forfeitures differ from the estimate. The effect of these items and other changes required by SFAS 123(R) is currently being evaluated. On April 14, 2005, the SEC announced that registrants that are not small business issuers may adopt SFAS 123(R) no later than the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. We will adopt SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006.
On December 21, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 109-1 (FSP 109-1) and 109-2 (FSP 109-2). FSP 109-1 provides guidance on the application of SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, with regard to the tax deduction on qualified production activities provision within H.R. 4520 The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (Act), that was enacted on October 22, 2004. FSP 109-2 provides guidance on a special one-time dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to qualifying U.S. taxpayers. The Act contains numerous provisions related to corporate and international taxation including repeal of the Extraterritorial Income (ETI) regime, creation of a new Domestic Production Activities (DPA) deduction and a temporary dividends received deduction related to repatriation of foreign earnings. The Act contains various effective dates and transition periods related to its provisions. Under the guidance provided in FSP 109-1 the new DPA deduction will be treated as a special deduction as described in SFAS 109. As such, the special deduction had no effect on our deferred tax assets and liabilities existing at the enactment date. Rather, the impact of this deduction will be reported in the period in which the deduction is claimed on our income tax return. We do not expect the net effect of the phase-out of the ETI deduction and phase-in of the new DPA deduction to result in a material impact on our effective income tax rate in 2005. In FSP 109-2, the FASB acknowledged that, due to the proximity of the Acts enactment date to many companies year-ends and the fact that numerous provisions within the Act are complex and pending further regulatory guidance, many companies may not be in a position to assess the impact of the Act on their plans for repatriation or reinvestment of foreign earnings. Therefore, the FSP provided companies with a practical exception to the permanent reinvestment standards of SFAS 109 and APB No. 23 by providing additional time to determine the amount of earnings, if any, that they intend to repatriate under the Acts provisions. We are not yet in a position to decide whether, and to what extent, we might repatriate foreign earnings to the United States. Therefore, under the guidance provided in FSP 109-2, no deferred tax liability has been recorded in connection with the repatriation provisions of the Act. We are currently analyzing the impact of the temporary dividends received deduction provisions contained in the Act and expect to complete our analysis by June 30, 2005.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to customer programs and incentives, product returns, bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, financing obligations, warranty obligations, excess component order cancellation costs, restructuring, long-term service contracts, pensions and other postretirement benefits, and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
For revenues not recognized under the contract method of accounting, we recognize revenues from the sale of products at the point of passage of title, which typically is at the time of shipment. Revenues earned from providing maintenance service are recognized when the service is complete.
40
Contract Accounting-Percentage of Completion
Revenue Recognition
Included in contract costs, or estimated revenues, are the expected impact of specific contingencies that we believe are probable. In the event that actual experience differs from estimates or facts and circumstances change, estimated costs or revenues will be revised.
We have sales under long-term, fixed-priced contracts, many of which contain escalation clauses, requiring delivery of products over several years and frequently providing the buyer with option pricing on follow-on orders. Sales and profits on each contract are recognized in accordance with the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, using the units-of-delivery method. We follow the guidelines of Statement of Position 81-1 (SOP 81-1), Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts (the contract method of accounting), using the cumulative catch-up method in accounting for revisions in estimates. Under the cumulative catch-up method, the impact of revisions in estimates related to units shipped to date is recognized immediately when changes in estimated contract profitability are known.
Profit is estimated based on the difference between total estimated revenue and total estimated cost of a contract. Changes in estimated total revenue and estimated total cost are recognized as business or economic conditions change and the impact on contract profitability is recorded immediately in that period using the cumulative catch-up method. Cost includes the estimated cost of the preproduction effort, primarily tooling and design, plus the estimated cost of manufacturing a specified number of production units. The specified number of production units used to establish the profit margin is predicated upon contractual terms adjusted for market forecasts and does not exceed the lesser of those quantities assumed in original contract pricing as adjusted to the date of certification, or those quantities which we now expect to deliver in the timeframe/period assumed in the original contract pricing or at the date of certification. Our policies only allow the estimated number of production units to be delivered to exceed the quantity assumed within the original contract pricing or at date of certification when we receive firm orders for additional units or we are required to begin manufacturing of units under contractual production lead time. The assumed timeframe/period is generally equal to the period specified in the contract. If the contract is a life of program contract, then such period is equal to the time period used in the original pricing model adjusted, if appropriate, to the expected period of production estimated at the date of certification. Option quantities are combined with prior orders when follow-on orders are released.
The contract method of accounting involves the use of various estimating techniques to project costs at completion and includes estimates of recoveries asserted against the customer for changes in specifications. These estimates involve various assumptions and projections relative to the outcome of future events, including the quantity and timing of product deliveries. Also included are assumptions relative to future labor performance and rates, and projections relative to material and overhead costs. These assumptions involve various levels of expected performance improvements. We re-evaluate our contract estimates periodically and reflect changes in estimates immediately under the cumulative catch-up method for the impact on shipments to date.
Included in sales are amounts arising from contract terms that provide for invoicing a portion of the contract price at a date after delivery. Also included are negotiated values for units delivered and anticipated price adjustments for contract changes, claims, escalation and estimated earnings in excess of billing provisions, resulting from the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Certain contract costs are estimated based on the learning curve concept discussed below.
Inventory
Inventoried costs on long-term contracts include certain preproduction costs, consisting primarily of tooling and design costs and production costs, including applicable overhead. The costs attributed to units delivered under long-term commercial contracts are based on the estimated average cost of all units expected to be produced and are determined under the learning curve concept, which anticipates a predictable decrease in unit costs as tasks and production techniques become more efficient through repetition. This usually results in an increase in inventory (referred to as excess-over-average) during the early years of a contract.
41
If in-process inventory plus estimated costs to complete a specific contract exceeds the anticipated remaining sales value of such contract, such excess is charged to current earnings, thus reducing inventory to estimated realizable value.
Income Taxes
In accordance with SFAS 109, APB Opinion No. 28, and FIN No. 18, as of each reporting period, we estimate an effective income tax rate that is expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. The estimate of our effective income tax rate involves significant judgments regarding the application of complex tax regulations across many jurisdictions and estimates as to the amount and jurisdictional source of income expected to be earned during the full fiscal year. Further influencing this estimate are evolving interpretations of new and existing tax laws, rulings by taxing authorities and court decisions. Due to the subjectivity and complex nature of these underlying issues our actual effective tax rate and related tax liabilities may differ from our initial estimates. Differences between our estimated and actual effective income tax rates and related liabilities are recorded in the period they become known. The resulting adjustment to our income tax expense could have a material effect on our results of operations in the period the adjustment is recorded.
In accordance with SFAS 5, we record tax contingencies when the exposure item becomes probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, we had recorded tax contingency reserves of approximately $319 million and $316 million, respectively.
In accordance with SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for tax carryforwards and the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes are measured using enacted tax laws and rates. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.
Identifiable Intangible Assets
Identifiable intangible assets are recorded at cost, or when acquired as part of a business combination, at estimated fair value. These assets include patents and other technology agreements, sourcing contracts, trademarks, licenses, customer relationships and non-compete agreements. Intangible assets are generally amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 5 to 25 years for all acquisitions completed on or prior to June 30, 2001. For acquisitions completed subsequent to June 30, 2001, identifiable intangible assets are amortized over their useful life using undiscounted cash flows, a method that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed.
Impairments of identifiable intangible assets are recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset, or related groups of assets, may not be recoverable and our estimate of undiscounted cash flows over the assets remaining useful lives is less than the carrying value of the assets. The determination of undiscounted cash flow is based on our segments plans. The revenue growth is based upon aircraft build projections from aircraft manufacturers and widely available external publications. The profit margin assumption is based upon the current cost structure and anticipated cost reductions. Measurement of the amount of impairment may be based upon an appraisal, market values of similar assets or estimated discounted future cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset.
Sales Incentives
We offer sales incentives to certain airline customers in connection with sales contracts. These incentives may consist of up-front cash payments, merchandise credits and/or free products. The cost of these incentives is recognized in the period incurred unless recovery of these costs is specifically guaranteed by the customer in the contract. If the contract contains such a guarantee, then the cost of the sales incentive is capitalized as Other Assets and amortized as Cost of Sales over the contract period. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the carrying amount of sales incentives were $66.6 million and $56.5 million, respectively.
42
Entry Fees-Investment in Risk and Revenue Sharing Programs
Certain businesses in our Engine Systems Segment make cash payments, referred to as entry fees, to an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) under long-term contractual arrangements related to new engine programs. In return, we receive a controlled access supply contract and a percentage of program revenue generated by the OEM as part of these arrangements. The program revenue generated by the OEM may result from the sale of components produced by us or other program participants by selling original equipment or aftermarket products (spares).
At the time of payment, the aircraft manufacturer has launched a new aircraft platform, critical suppliers have been selected and we have deemed our product to be technologically feasible. Although our product is technologically feasible, we do not have access to information on the technological feasibility of the products of the OEMs other critical suppliers. However, we are not aware of any program for which we have entered into a contract that has been cancelled prior to engine delivery due to the lack of technological feasibility of the engine.
In our agreement with the OEM, there are no restrictions on the use of the entry fees by the OEM; however, in the OEMs annual report, it states that entry fees have enabled it to build a broad portfolio of engines, thereby reducing its exposure to individual product risk. The OEM also states that the primary financial benefit of entry fees to it is a reduction of its own funding of research and development on new programs.
We account for entry fees similar to an investment in future cash flows. We begin to receive cash payments from the OEM, at the latest, after aircraft certification, which typically occurs approximately four years after payment of the entry fee. However, if the OEMs customers place orders with the OEM prior to that time, which frequently occurs, we will receive a percentage of any related deposits. Activities during the four-year period following our initial payment of entry fees include continued refinement of the engine systems, certification of the engine systems, flight certification of the engine, flight certification of the aircraft and entry into service of the aircraft.
As with any investment, there are risks inherent in recovering the value of entry fees. Such risks are consistent with the risks associated in acquiring a revenue-producing asset in which market conditions may change or the risks that arise when a manufacturer of a product on which a royalty is based has business difficulties and cannot produce the product. Such risks include but are not limited to the following:
| Changes in market conditions that may affect product sales under the program, including market acceptance and competition from others; | |||
| Performance of subcontract suppliers and other production risks; | |||
| Bankruptcy or other less significant financial difficulties of other program participants, including the aircraft manufacturer, the OEM and other program suppliers or the aircraft customer; and | |||
| Availability of specialized raw materials in the marketplace. |
Entry fees are recorded as Other Assets and are amortized on a straight-line basis to Cost of Sales over the programs estimated useful life following aircraft certification, which typically approximates 20 years. The net carrying amount of entry fees were $109 million and $111.3 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The carrying amount of entry fees is evaluated for impairment at least annually or when other indicators of impairment exist. Impairment is assessed based on the expected undiscounted cash flow from the program over the remaining program life as compared to the recorded amount of entry fees. If impairment exists, a charge would be recorded for the amount by which the carrying amount of the entry fee exceeds its fair value. No such impairment charges were recorded in the quarters ended March, 31, 2005 and 2004.
43
Pension and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
Assumptions used in determining the benefit obligations and the annual expense for our pension and postretirement benefits other than pensions are evaluated by us in consultation with an outside actuary. Changes in assumptions such as the rate of compensation increase and the long-term rate of return on plan assets are based upon our historical and benchmark data. Health care cost projections are evaluated annually. The discount rate is evaluated at the end of the year using the appropriate index (e.g., Moodys Aa long-term high quality bond rate for the U.S. Plans and iBoxx AA long-term high quality bond rate for the U.K. plans). The appropriate assumptions are used for the applicable country.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO RISK AND UNCERTAINTY
Certain statements made in this document are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding our future plans, objectives and expected performance. Specifically, statements that are not historical facts, including statements accompanied by words such as believe, expect, anticipate, intend, should, estimate, or plan, are intended to identify forward-looking statements and convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. We caution readers that any such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that we believe are reasonable, but are subject to a wide range of risks, and actual results may differ materially.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to:
| demand for and market acceptance of new and existing products, such as the Airbus A350 and A380, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the Embraer 190, and the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and F-22 Raptor; | |||
| our ability to extend our contracts with Boeing relating to the 787 Dreamliner beyond the initial contract period; | |||
| potential cancellation of orders by customers; | |||
| successful development of products and advanced technologies; | |||
| the health of the commercial aerospace industry, including the impact of bankruptcies in the airline industry; | |||

We caution you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this document, which speak only as of the date on which such statements are made. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statements were made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to certain market risks as part of our ongoing business operations, including risks from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, which could impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We manage our exposure to these and other market risks through regular operating and financing activities and through the use of derivative financial instruments. We intend to use such derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for speculative investment purposes. Our discussion of market risk in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K provides more discussion as to the types of instruments used to manage risk. Refer to Note 16, Derivatives and Hedging Activities in Part 1 - Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a description of current developments involving our hedging activities.
At March 31, 2005, a hypothetical 100 basis point unfavorable change in interest rates would increase annual interest expense by approximately $3.6 million. At March 31, 2005, a hypothetical 10 percent strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other foreign currencies would decrease the value of our forward contracts by $72.5 million. The fair value of these forward contracts was $82.2 million at March 31, 2005. Because we hedge only a portion of our exposure, a strengthening of the U.S. Dollar as described above would have a more than offsetting benefit to our financial results in future periods.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding managements disclosure control objectives.
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report (the Evaluation Date). Based upon that evaluation, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date to provide reasonable assurance regarding managements disclosure control objectives.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 5. Other Information.
Non-Audit Services in the United Kingdom Performed by Ernst & Young LLP
Ernst & Young LLP has notified us that certain non-audit work Ernst & Young LLP previously performed for us in the United Kingdom has raised questions regarding its independence with respect to its performance of audit services. Beginning in 1990, an affiliated firm of Ernst & Young LLP provided registered office and certain company secretarial services for our United Kingdom subsidiaries. The provision of these services may have involved the performance of management functions and the custody of our assets, which are not permitted under SEC auditor independence rules. These services were discontinued in February 2004.
Our Audit Review Committee has reviewed the facts surrounding these services provided by Ernst & Young LLP. We and the Audit Review Committee have concluded that Ernst & Young LLPs independence was not impaired by the performance of these services in view of the de minimis fees paid to Ernst & Young LLP (less than $50,000 per year) and the ministerial nature of the actions performed by it. Ernst & Young LLP has also concluded that its independence was not impaired by the performance of these services.
46
As we have previously disclosed, Ernst & Young LLP has also notified the SEC, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and us that certain non-audit work previously performed in China and Japan for us and other companies has also raised questions regarding Ernst & Young LLPs independence. We, our Audit Review Committee and Ernst & Young LLP have concluded that the independence of Ernst & Young LLP was not impaired by the performance of those services. For more information, please refer to our definitive proxy statement, dated March 7, 2005, under the caption Proposals to Shareholders 2. Ratification of Appointment of Independent Auditors Non-Audit Services in China and Japan Performed by Ernst & Young LLP.
