Q4 2015 Supplemental Financial Information
November 19, 2015
Exhibit 99.2


1
This
presentation
may
contain
"forward-looking
statements"
within
the
meaning
of
the
Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements relate to future events or our future
financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology
such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,”
“plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “should” or “will,” or the negative of such terms, or other comparable
terminology.  These forward-looking statements are only predictions based on the current intent
and expectations of the management of Esterline, are not guarantees of future performance or
actions, and involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and may cause Esterline’s
or its industry’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any
future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements.  Esterline's actual results and the timing and outcome of events may differ materially
from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements due to risks detailed in
Esterline's public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including its most recent
Annual Report on Form 10-K.  This presentation may also contain references to non-GAAP
financial information subject to Regulation G. 
The
reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its comparable GAAP measure as
well as further information on management’s use of non-GAAP financial measures are included in
Esterline’s press release dated November 19, 2015, included as Exhibit 99.1 to Form 8-K filed
with the SEC on the same date, as well as in this presentation.
