Appendix Non-GAAP Financial Results The company reports its financial performance in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). This press release refers to "Adjusted" amounts, which are Non-GAAP financial measures described below. We utilize a number of different financial measures in
analyzing and assessing the overall performance of our business, and in making operating decisions, forecasting and planning for future periods. We consider the use of the non-GAAP measures to be helpful in assessing the performance of the
ongoing operation of our business. We believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, allows for greater transparency in
the review of our financial and operational performance. The Company’s presentation of its financials and guidance includes an Adjusted (non-GAAP) view that excludes first year purchase accounting costs associated with its acquisitions, as
well as one-time transition and IT security costs, and capital investments, specifically associated with the relocation of the DRG business in the Power segment. Transition costs include relocation of employees and equipment as well as
overlapping facility and labor costs associated with the relocation. The Company is also excluding significant restructuring costs in 2020 associated with its operations. We believe this Adjusted view will provide improved transparency to the
investment community in order to better measure Curtiss-Wright’s ongoing operating and financial performance and better comparisons of our key financial metrics to our peers. Reconciliations of “Reported” GAAP amounts to “Adjusted” non-GAAP
amounts are furnished with this presentation. All per share amounts are reported on a diluted basis. The following definitions are provided: Adjusted Operating Income, Operating Margin, Net Earnings and Diluted EPSThese Adjusted financials are
defined as Reported Operating Income, Operating Margin, Net Earnings and Diluted EPS under GAAP excluding the impact of first year purchase accounting costs associated with acquisitions for current and prior year periods, specifically one-time
inventory step-up, backlog amortization and transaction costs; one-time transition and IT security costs associated with the relocation of a business; and significant restructuring costs in 2020 associated with its operations.Free Cash Flow and
Free Cash Flow ConversionThe Corporation discloses free cash flow because it measures cash flow available for investing and financing activities. Free cash flow represents cash available to repay outstanding debt, invest in the business,
acquire businesses, return capital to shareholders and make other strategic investments. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow excludes: (i) a capital
investment in the Power segment related to the new, state-of-the-art naval facility principally for DRG; (ii) voluntary contributions to the Company’s corporate defined benefit pension plan made in the first quarters of 2018 and 2020; and (iii)
the cash impact from restructuring in 2020. The Corporation discloses free cash flow conversion because it measures the proportion of net earnings converted into free cash flow and is defined as free cash flow divided by net earnings from
continuing operations. Adjusted free cash flow conversion is defined as Adjusted free cash flow divided by Adjusted net earnings.

operating income excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and contributions from acquisitions made during the last twelve months.Note: Amounts may not add due to rounding
