(UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Curtiss-Wright Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Corporation or the Company) is a diversified, multinational manufacturing and service company that designs, manufactures, and overhauls precision components and systems and provides highly engineered products and services to the aerospace, defense, automotive, shipbuilding, processing, oil, petrochemical, agricultural equipment, railroad, power generation, security, and metalworking industries.

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

On March 30, 2012, the Corporation sold its heat treating business to Bodycote plc. The Corporation divested this non-core cyclical business to focus on higher technology engineered services such as specialty coatings and materials testing. As a result of the divestiture, the results of operations for the heat treating business, which were previously reported as part of the Surface Technologies segment, have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Please refer to Footnote 3 of the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant of these estimates includes the estimate of costs to complete long-term contracts under the percentage-of-completion accounting methods, the estimate of useful lives for property, plant, and equipment, cash flow estimates used for testing the recoverability of assets, pension plan and postretirement obligation assumptions, estimates for inventory obsolescence, estimates for the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets, warranty reserves, legal reserves, and the estimate of future environmental costs. Changes in estimates of contract sales, costs, and profits are recognized using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. This method recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods. Accordingly, the effect of the changes on future periods of contract performance is recognized as if the revised estimate had been the original estimate. During the second quarter of 2012, the Corporation incurred unanticipated additional costs of $5.5 million on its long-term contract with Westinghouse for disassembly, inspection, and packaging costs related to the reactor coolant pumps (RCP) that the Corporation is supplying for the AP1000 nuclear power plants in China. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of the operating results for a full year.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

ADOPTION OF NEW STANDARDS

Other Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In February 2013, new guidance was issued that amends the current comprehensive income guidance. The new guidance requires entities to disclose the effect of each item that was reclassified in its entirety out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net income on each affected net income line item. For reclassification items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, a cross-reference to other required disclosures is required. The new guidance is to be applied prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and interim periods within those years. The adoption of this new guidance did not have an impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

2. ACQUISITION

The Corporation continually evaluates potential acquisitions that either strategically fit within the Corporation’s existing portfolio or expand the Corporation’s portfolio into new product lines or adjacent markets. The Corporation has completed a number of acquisitions that have been accounted for as business combinations and have resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Corporation's financial statements. This goodwill arises because the purchase prices for these businesses reflect the future earnings and cash flow potential in excess of the earnings and cash flows attributable to the current product and customer set at the time of acquisition. Thus, goodwill inherently includes the know-how of the assembled workforce, the ability of the workforce to further improve the technology and product offerings, and the expected cash flows resulting from these efforts. Goodwill may also include expected synergies resulting from the complementary strategic fit these businesses bring to existing operations.

The Corporation allocates the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. In the months after closing, as the Corporation obtains additional information about these assets and liabilities, including through tangible and intangible asset appraisals, and as the Corporation learns more about the newly acquired business, it is able to refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price. Only items identified as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment. The Corporation will make appropriate adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to completion of the measurement period, as required.

Flow Control

2013 Acquisition

Phönix Group

On February 28, 2013, the Corporation acquired all the outstanding shares of Phönix Holding GmbH for $97.9 million, net of cash acquired. The Share Purchase and Transfer Agreement contains a purchase price adjustment mechanism and representations and warranties customary for a transaction of this type, including a portion of the purchase price deposited into escrow as security for potential indemnification claims against the seller. Management funded the purchase from the Corporation’s revolving credit facility and excess cash at foreign locations.

Phönix, headquartered in Germany, is a designer and manufacturer of valves, valve systems and related support services to the global chemical, petrochemical and power (both conventional and nuclear) markets. Phönix has 282 employees and operates Phönix Valves in Volkmarsen, Germany; Strack, located in Barleben, Germany; and Daume Control Valves, located in Hanover, Germany. Phönix also owns sales subsidiaries with warehouses in Texas and France.

Revenues of the acquired business were approximately $60.0 million in 2012. The business operates within the Marine & Power Products Division of Curtiss-Wright's Flow Control segment.

The amounts of net sales and net loss included in the Corporation’s consolidated statement of earnings from the acquisition date to the period ended June 30, 2013 are $19.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

The purchase price of the acquisition has been allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired with the remainder recorded as goodwill on the basis of estimated fair values, as follows:

Supplemental Pro Forma Statements of Operations Data

The assets, liabilities and results of operations of the business acquired in 2013 were not material to the Corporation’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, and therefore pro forma financial information for the Phonix acquisition is not presented.

The following table presents unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information for the combined results of the Corporation and its completed business acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2012 as if the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2012 for purposes of the financial information presented for the periods ended June 30, 2012.



	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended

Net earnings from continuing operations	25,559		47,460
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations	0.54		1.00

The unaudited pro forma consolidated results were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and are based on historical financial information. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results are not necessarily indicative of what our consolidated results of operations actually would have been had we completed the acquisition on January 1, 2012. In addition, the unaudited pro forma consolidated results do not purport to project the future results of operations of the combined company nor do they reflect the expected realization of any cost savings associated with the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results reflect primarily the following pro forma pre-tax adjustments:


•	Additional amortization expense related to the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired of approximately $3.2 million and $6.4 million for the three and six months ended, June 30, 2012, respectively.


•	Elimination of historical interest expense of approximately $1.0 million and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended, June 30, 2012, respectively.


•	Additional interest expense associated with the incremental borrowings that would have been incurred to acquire these companies as of January 1, 2012 of $4.5 million and $9.0 million for the three and six months ended, June 30, 2012, respectively.

Total intangible amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $24.2 million as compared to $15.1 million in the prior year period. The estimated amortization expense for the five years ending December 31, 2013 through 2017 is $48.0 million, $41.0 million, $39.0 million, $38.1 million, and $37.6 million, respectively.

8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Forward Foreign Exchange and Currency Option Contracts

The Corporation has foreign currency exposure primarily in Europe and Canada. The Corporation uses financial instruments, such as forward and option contracts, to hedge a portion of existing and anticipated foreign currency denominated transactions. The purpose of the Corporation’s foreign currency risk management program is to reduce volatility in earnings caused by exchange rate fluctuations. Guidance on accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities requires companies to recognize all of the derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based upon quoted market prices for comparable instruments.

Interest Rate Risks and Related Strategies

The Corporation’s primary interest rate exposure results from changes in U.S. dollar interest rates. The Corporation’s policy is to manage interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. The Corporation periodically uses interest rate swaps to manage such exposures. Under these interest rate swaps, the Corporation exchanges, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount.

For interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges (i.e., hedges against the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps offset changes in the fair value of the fixed rate debt due to changes in market interest rates.

In March 2013, the Corporation entered into fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements to convert the interest payments of the $100 million, 3.85% notes, due February 26, 2025, from a fixed rate to a floating interest rate based on 1-Month LIBOR plus a 1.77% spread, and the interest payments of the $75 million, 4.05% notes, due February 26, 2028, from a fixed rate to a floating interest rate based on 1-Month LIBOR plus a 1.73% spread.

NOTES to CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

In January 2012, the Corporation entered into fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements to convert the interest payments of the $200 million, 4.24% notes, due December 1, 2026, from a fixed rate to a floating interest rate based on 1-Month LIBOR plus a 2.02% spread. In addition, the Corporation also entered into a fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreement to convert the interest payments of $25 million of the $100 million, 3.84% notes, due December 1, 2021, from a fixed rate to a floating interest rate based on 1-Month LIBOR plus a 1.90% spread.

The notional amounts of the Corporation’s outstanding interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges were $400 million at June 30, 2013.

The fair value accounting guidance requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company has the ability to access.

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves.

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable data points that are not corroborated by market data.

Based upon the fair value hierarchy, all of the forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps are valued at a Level 2.

Debt

The estimated fair value amounts were determined by the Corporation using available market information that is primarily based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues as of June 30, 2013. Accordingly, all of the Corporation’s debt is valued at a Level 2. The fair values described below may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, the use of different methodologies to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

The carrying amount of the variable interest rate debt approximates fair value as the interest rates are reset periodically to reflect current market conditions.

On February 26, 2013, the Corporation issued $400 million of Senior Notes (the 2013 Notes). The 2013 Notes consist of $225 million of 3.70% Senior Notes that mature on February 26, 2023, $100 million of 3.85% Senior Notes that mature on February 26, 2025, and $75 million of 4.05% Senior Notes that mature on February 26, 2028. An additional $100 million of 4.11% Senior Notes that mature on September 26, 2028, will be issued in September of 2013. The 2013 Notes are senior unsecured obligations, that are equal in right of payment to the Corporation's existing senior indebtedness. The Corporation, at its option, can prepay at any time all or any part of the 2013 Notes, subject to a make-whole payment in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement. In connection with the issuance of the 2013 Notes, the Corporation paid customary fees that have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the 2013 Notes. Under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Corporation is required to maintain certain financial ratios, the most restrictive of which is a debt to capitalization limit of 60%, and funding obligations under the defined pension plan. The 2013 Notes also contain a cross default provision with respect to the Corporation’s other senior indebtedness.

10. FACILITIES RELOCATION AND RESTRUCTURING

2012 Restructuring Initiative

The Corporation focuses on being the low-cost provider of its products by reducing operating costs and implementing lean manufacturing initiatives, which have in part led to the involuntary termination of certain positions and the consolidation of facilities and product lines.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Corporation recorded restructuring costs by segment as follows:



	(In thousands)
	Three Months Ended
	June 30, 2012
	Flow Control		Controls		Surface Technologies		Consolidated

Total	$	2,259	$	484	$	5,241	$	7,984

During the first six months of 2012, the Corporation recorded restructuring costs by segment as follows:



	(In thousands)
	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2012
	Flow Control		Controls		Surface Technologies		Consolidated

Total	$	2,734	$	3,058	$	5,241	$	11,033

The components of the restructuring costs by segment are as follows:

Flow Control

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, the Flow Control segment recorded $2.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of restructuring charges, primarily for severance and benefits costs associated with headcount reductions to streamline operations.

Controls

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, the Controls segment recorded $0.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of restructuring charges, primarily for severance and benefits costs associated with headcount reductions to streamline operations.

Surface Technologies

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, the Surface Technologies segment recorded $5.2 million of restructuring charges consisting of cash charges of $0.4 million and non-cash charges of $4.8 million. The cash costs were primarily associated with severance and benefits costs related to headcount reductions, while the $4.8 million of non-cash costs were primarily related to fixed asset write-downs.

Nonrecurring measurements

In connection with our 2012 restructuring initiative, during the second quarter of 2012, the Corporation announced a plan to cease operations at a certain facility within our Surface Technologies segment by the fourth quarter of 2012. This decision resulted in a reduction of the useful life of the asset group at the facility. In accordance with the provisions of the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets guidance of FASB Codification Subtopic 360-10, long-lived assets held and used with a carrying amount of $4.8 million were written down to their fair value of zero, resulting in an impairment charge of $4.8 million. The fair value of the impairment charge was determined using the income approach over the reduced useful life of the asset group. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, the impairment charge is classified as a Level 3 measurement as it is based on significant other observable inputs.

11. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

The following tables are consolidated disclosures of all domestic and foreign defined pension plans as described in the Corporation’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The postretirement benefits information includes the domestic Curtiss-Wright Corporation and EMD postretirement benefit plans, as there are no foreign postretirement benefit plans.

Pension Plans

The components of net periodic pension cost for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:



	(In thousands)
	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,

Curtailments	2,711			—			2,711			—
Net periodic benefit cost	$	15,705		$	11,613		$	28,945		$	22,606

In May 2013, the Corporation's Board of Directors approved an amendment to the CW Pension Plan. The amendment, which is effective January 1, 2014, changes the time period used to calculate final and career average pay formulas and resulted

in a $3 million reduction to the projected benefit obligation of the plan and a second quarter curtailment charge of $2.2 million. The plan curtailment also required a remeasurement of the assets and liabilities of the Curtiss-Wright Pension Plan. Due to favorable asset performance and an increase in the discount rate, the remeasurement decreased the pension liability and decreased the net pre-tax actuarial loss component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss by $45 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Corporation made $14.5 million in contributions to the Curtiss-Wright Pension Plan, and expects to make total contributions of approximately $35.0 million in 2013. In addition, contributions of $2.6 million were made to the Corporation’s foreign benefit plans during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Contributions to the foreign benefit plans are expected to be $5.0 million in 2013.

12. EARNINGS PER SHARE

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



	(In thousands)
	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30,		June 30,

15. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

Legal Proceedings

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

The Corporation is party to a number of legal actions and claims, none of which individually or in the aggregate, in the opinion of management, are expected to have a material effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial position.

Environmental Matters

The aggregate environmental liability was $16.6 million at June 30, 2013 and $16.4 million at December 31, 2012. All environmental reserves exclude any potential recovery from insurance carriers or third-party legal actions.

Letters of Credit and Other Financial Arrangements

The Corporation enters into standby letters of credit agreements and guarantees with financial institutions and customers primarily relating to guarantees of repayment, future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services, and to secure advance payments from certain international customers. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were $54.6 million and $51.8 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding, respectively, and $12.5 million and $6.8 million of bank guarantees outstanding, respectively. In addition, the Corporation is required to provide the Nuclear Regulatory Commission financial assurance demonstrating its ability to cover the cost of decommissioning its Cheswick, Pennsylvania facility upon closure, though the Corporation does not intend to close this facility. The Corporation has provided this financial assurance in the form of a $52.9 million surety bond.

AP1000 Program

The Corporation’s Electro-Mechanical Division is the reactor coolant pump (RCP) supplier for the Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear power plants under construction in China and the United States. The terms of the contract include liquidated damage penalty provisions if the Corporation is responsible for the failure to meet specified contractual milestone dates. To date, the Corporation has not met certain delivery dates under the contract. However, currently, there has not been any threat, allegation, or claim for liquidated damages. Based upon the evaluation of the Corporation's performance and other legal analysis, the Corporation does not believe it will be subject to liquidated damages penalties. The Corporation believes that all future delivery dates will be revised to mitigate any performance risk and that adequate legal defenses exist should a liquidated damages claim be alleged against the Corporation. Based upon the information available to date, the Corporation does not believe that the ultimate outcome will result in a material impact to its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

U.S. Government Defense Budget/Sequestration

In August 2011, the Budget Control Act (the Act) announced a reduction in the Department of Defense (DoD) top line budget by approximately $490 billion over 10 years starting in 2013. The initial and mandatory budget cuts (or sequestration) as outlined in the Act were to be implemented starting on January 2, 2013. However, on January 1, 2013, Congress elected to delay the impact of sequestration until at least March 1, 2013, and these cuts were to be automatically implemented if an agreement had not been reached by March 27, 2013. On March 26, 2013, President Obama signed into law a continuing budget resolution which provides additional funding and flexibility for U.S. Government agencies to reallocate funds to priority areas in FY2013. In April 2013, the President released his initial budget proposal for FY2014, which leaves uncertainty as to how the sequester to be imposed on defense spending next year will be determined. While such reductions to future DoD spending levels are largely undetermined, any reduction in levels of DoD spending, cancellations or delays impacting existing contracts or programs, including through sequestration, could have a material impact on the Corporation’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Analytical Definitions

Throughout management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, the terms “incremental” and “organic” are used to explain changes from period to period. The term “incremental” is used to highlight the impact acquisitions and divestitures had on the current year results. The results of operations for acquisitions are incremental for the first twelve months from the date of acquisition. Additionally, the results of operations of divested businesses are removed from the comparable prior year period for purposes of calculating “organic” or “incremental” results. The definition of “organic” excludes the effect of foreign currency translation. These measures provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations from period to period. These metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be considered a substitute for measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures that we disclose are organic revenue and organic operating income - defined as revenue and operating income, excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and contributions from acquisitions and divestitures made during the current year. When used in the MD&A, we have provided the comparable GAAP measure in the discussion.

On March 30, 2012, we completed the sale of our heat treating business, which had been previously reported within the Surface Technologies segment. The results of operations of this business and the gain that was recognized on the sale are reported within discontinued operations.

The MD&A is organized into the following sections: Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Results by Business Segment, Liquidity and Capital Resources and a reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures.

Sales

Sales for the second quarter of 2013 increased $91.3 million, or 17%, to $617.7 million, compared with the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily due to the incremental impact of acquisitions, as organic sales were down slightly and the effects of foreign currency translation were not significant. On a segment basis, Flow Control contributed $46.4 million of increased sales, while Controls and Surface Technologies contributed $35.8 million and $9.1 million of increased sales, respectively.

Sales for the first six months of 2013 increased $182.3 million or 18%, to $1,210.4 million, compared with the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily due to the incremental impact of acquisitions, as organic sales were down slightly and the effects of foreign currency translation were not significant. On a segment basis, Flow Control contributed $90.2 million of increased sales, while Controls and Surface Technologies contributed $75.3 million and $16.9 million of increased sales, respectively.

Sales

Sales in the defense market decreased $16.5 million, or 8%, to $184.7 million, from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to lower sales in the aerospace and ground defense markets. In our Flow Control segment, lower defense sales were primarily due to lower levels of production on the DDG-1000 destroyer program. In our Controls segment, sales decreased primarily in the aerospace defense market, due to lower production levels on the Black Hawk and lower sales of embedded computing products supporting various helicopter programs, as compared to the prior year period.

Commercial sales increased $107.8 million, or 33%, to $433.0 million, from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to the incremental impact of acquisitions, which contributed to higher sales in the oil and gas and general industrial markets. Organic commercial sales increased 2% from the comparable prior year period. In our Flow Control segment, organic commercial sales decreased primarily due to a decrease in our general industrial market as result of a customer loss, which was

anticipated. In our Controls segment, organic commercial sales increased primarily due to higher sales of both our flight control products on all major Boeing aircraft and specialty production support on Boeing’s 787 aircraft in the commercial aerospace market. In our Surface Technologies segment, organic commercial sales increased primarily due to increased coating services.

Operating income

During the second quarter of 2013, operating income increased $17.2 million, or 43%, to $57.8 million, and operating margin decreased 170 basis points, to 9.4%, compared with the same period in 2012. Acquisitions contributed $4.7 million of operating income and were 90 basis points dilutive to current period operating margin. On a segment basis, the increase in operating income in our Flow Control segment of $9.1 million, or 49%, to $27.7 million, was primarily due to certain charges on the AP1000 program of $5.5 million and restructuring charges of $2.3 million, that occurred in the prior year period that did not reoccur in the current year period. In addition, higher sales of instrumentation and control products and deliveries of our NETCO SNAP-IN® product in the power generation market contributed to favorable operating income. In our Controls segment, operating income increased $3.9 million, or 17%, to $27.4 million, primarily due to the incremental impact of acquisitions of $2.7 million. In our Surface Technologies segment, operating income increased $8.8 million, or 148%, to $14.7 million, primarily due to $5.2 million of restructuring charges that occurred in the second quarter of 2012 that did not reoccur in the current year period, as well as increased coating sales, primarily in the commercial aerospace market.

Six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with six months ended June 30, 2012

Sales

Sales in the defense market decreased $31.5 million, or 8%, to $360.4 million, from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to lower sales in the aerospace defense market. In our Flow Control segment, sales decreased primarily in the naval defense market, driven by lower production on the DDG-1000 and DDG-51 destroyer programs, completion of production on the Advanced Arresting Gear program, and lower levels of production on the Virgina class submarine. In our Controls segment, sales decreased primarily in the aerospace defense market, due to lower production levels on the Black Hawk and lower sales of embedded computing products supporting various helicopter programs.

Commercial sales increased $213.8 million, or 34%, to $849.9 million, from the comparable prior year period, mainly due to the incremental impact of acquisitions, which primarily contributed to higher sales in the oil and gas and general industrial markets. Organic commercial sales increased 4%, from the comparable prior year period. In our Flow Control segment, organic commercial sales increased slightly, as higher year-to-date sales in the power generation market offset lower sales in the general industrial market due to an expected decrease as a result of an anticipated customer loss. In our Controls segment, organic commercial sales increased primarily due to higher sales of both our flight control products on all major Boeing aircraft and specialty production support on Boeing’s 787 aircraft in the commercial aerospace market. In our Surface Technologies segment, organic commercial sales increased primarily due to an increase in volume in our coatings and shot peening services as we continue to benefit from the ramp up in OEM production rates.

Operating income

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, operating income increased $19.7 million, or 26%, to $95.8 million, and operating margin improved 50 basis points, to 7.9% compared with the same period in 2012. Acquisitions contributed $4.9 million of operating income and were 100 basis points dilutive to current period operating margin. On a segment basis, the increase in operating income in our Flow Control segment of $14.7 million, or 40%, to $51.8 million, was primarily due to certain charges that occurred in the prior year period that did not reoccur in the current year period, as well as higher sales of instrumentation and control products and deliveries of our NETCO SNAP-IN (R) product in the power generation market. In our Controls segment, operating income increased $3.0 million, or 8%, to $39.5 million, primarily due to the incremental impact of acquisitions of $1.3 million. In our Surface Technologies segment, operating income increased $11.0 million, or 70%, to $26.8 million, primarily due to $5.2 million of restructuring charges that occurred in the prior year period that did not reoccur in the current year period, as well as increased coating sales, primarily in the commercial aerospace market.

Three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with three and six months ended June 30, 2012

Non-segment operating expense

The increase in non-segment operating expense in the current quarter and first six months of 2013, of $4.5 million and $9.1 million, respectively, is primarily due to higher pension expenses, resulting from a lower discount rate used in the measurement of our pension benefit obligation and a curtailment charge as discussed in Footnote 11.

Interest expense

The increase in interest expense in the current quarter and first six months of 2013, of $2.8 million and $5.0 million, respectively, is primarily due to the issuance of $400 million of Senior Notes in February of 2013.

Effective tax rate

Our effective tax rate for the current quarter and first six months of 2013 was 31.5% and 30.8%, respectively, compared to 33.1% and 32.6%, in the comparable prior year periods. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the current quarter and first six months of 2013, was primarily due to changes in the mix of foreign versus U.S. earnings and the retroactive application of the research and development tax credit that was part of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 and signed into law during the first quarter of 2013.

Net earnings from continuing operations

The increase in net earnings from continuing operations of $10.5 million, or 46%, to $33.4 million, in the current quarter, and $11.6 million, or 27%, to $54.3 million, in the first six months of 2013, as compared to the prior year periods, is primarily due to higher operating income in all of our segments, partially offset by the higher pension and interest expense discussed above.

New orders

New orders for the current quarter and first six months of 2013 increased by $117.9 million and $219.9 million, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. The increase in new orders in the current quarter and first six months of 2013, is primarily due to incremental new orders from acquisitions of $102.5 million and $191.5 million, respectively.

Sales

Sales increased $46.4 million, or 17%, to $321.0 million, from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to the incremental impact of our Cimarron, Phönix, and AP services acquisitions, which contributed $36.0 million, $14.8 million, and $5.6 million, of incremental sales, respectively.

Sales in the defense market decreased by 4%, primarily due to decreased naval defense sales driven by lower levels of production on the DDG-1000 and DDG-51 destroyer programs. These decreases were partially offset by production on a new ship board helicopter handling systems contract and higher levels of production on the CVN-79 aircraft carrier program.

Sales in the commercial market increased 25%, primarily due to the incremental impact of our Cimarron and Phönix acquisitions, which favorably impacted sales in the oil and gas market, as well as our AP Services acquisition, which favorably impacted sales in the power generation market. Organic commercial sales decreased 3%, primarily due to lower sales in the general industrial market as a result of a customer loss, that was anticipated. In the power generation market, organic sales were flat, as higher sales of instrumentation and control products and deliveries of our spent fuel management NETCO SNAP-IN® product used in existing operating reactors, helped offset the impact of the closure of three domestic operating reactors and competitive pressure from lower natural gas prices. In the oil and gas market, organic sales were flat as increased aftermarket MRO and pressure relief valve projects were mostly offset by lower levels of production for international capital refinery projects.

Operating income

During the second quarter of 2013, operating income increased $9.1 million, or 49%, to $27.7 million, and operating margin increased 180 basis points from the prior year quarter to 8.6%. Acquisitions contributed $1.8 million of operating income and were 120 basis points dilutive to current period results.

Excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency translation, organic operating income increased $7.2 million, or 39%, to $25.8 million, and organic operating margin improved 290 basis points to 9.7%. In the prior year period we incurred $2.3 million of restructuring charges and $5.5 million of long-term contract adjustments under our AP1000 program that did not reoccur in the current year period. In addition, higher sales of instrumentation and control products and deliveries of our spent fuel management NETCO SNAP-IN® in the power generation market and increased levels of our aftermarket MRO and pressure relief valve projects in the oil and gas market, contributed to the increase in organic operating income.

New orders

New orders increased $60.7 million from the prior year quarter, primarily due to incremental new orders from acquisitions of $56.9 million.

Page 30

Six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with six months ended June 30, 2012

Sales

Sales increased $90.2 million, or 17%, to $631.7 million, in the first six months of 2013, compared with the same period in 2012, primarily due to the incremental impact of our Cimarron, Phönix, and AP services acquisitions, which contributed $68.8 million, $19.6 million, and $11.5 million, of incremental sales, respectively.

Sales in the defense market decreased by 7%, primarily due to lower levels of production on the DDG-1000 and DDG-51 destroyer programs, completion of production on the Advanced Arresting Gear program and lower levels of production on the Virgina Class submarine. These decreases were partially offset by production on a new ship board helicopter handling systems contract, increased production sales on the CVN-79 aircraft carrier program, and increased CVN-72 refueling contracts.

Sales in the commercial market increased 27%, primarily due to the incremental impact of our Cimarron and Phönix acquisitions, which favorably impacted sales in the oil and gas market, as well as our AP Services acquisition, which favorably impacted sales in the power generation market. Organic commercial sales were essentially flat as lower sales in the general industrial market were offset by higher sales in the power generation market. In the general industrial market, sales were lower as a result of a customer loss, that was anticipated. The decrease was offset by higher sales of instrumentation and control products and deliveries of our spent fuel management NETCO SNAP-IN® product used in existing operating reactors within the power generation market. In our oil and gas market, organic sales were essentially flat as increased aftermarket MRO and pressure relief valve projects were mostly offset by lower levels of production for international capital refinery projects.

Operating income

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, operating income increased $14.7 million, or 40%, to $51.8 million, and operating margin increased 130 basis points from the prior year period to 8.2%. Acquisitions contributed $2.5 million of operating income and were 110 basis points dilutive to current period results.

Excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency translation, organic operating income increased $12.5 million, or 34%, to $49.6 million, and organic operating margin improved 240 bps basis points to 9.3%. Prior year operating income was impacted by $2.7 million of restructuring charges and $6.6 million of long-term contract adjustments under the AP 1000 program. In the current year period, higher sales volume in our power generation market and increased levels of aftermarket MRO and pressure relief valve projects contributed to the increase in organic operating income.

New orders

New orders increased $95.1 million, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to incremental new orders from acquisitions of $101.9 million. The decrease in organic new orders is primarily due to the timing of orders for butterfly valve projects and lower capital project demand in the oil and gas market.

Three months ended June 30, 2013 compared with three months ended June 30, 2012

Sales

Sales increased $35.8 million, or 20%, to $216.9 million, from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to the incremental impact of our Williams Controls, PG Drives, and Exlar acquisitions, which contributed $16.2 million, $13.3 million, and $10.9 million of incremental sales, respectively. Organic sales decreased 3% and the effects of foreign currency translation were minimal.

Defense sales decreased 10%, compared to the prior year period, primarily in the defense aerospace market, due to lower production levels on the Black Hawk and lower sales of embedded computing products supporting various helicopter programs. In the ground defense market, sales decreased due to lower comparable sales on several large platforms, most notably the Bradley fighting vehicle.

Commercial sales increased 65%, primarily driven by the incremental impact of our Williams Controls, PG Drives, and Exlar, acquisitions in the general industrial market. Organic commercial sales increased 12%, primarily due to higher sales of both our flight control products on Boeing aircraft and specialty production support on Boeing’s 787 aircraft.

Operating income

During the second quarter of 2013, operating income increased $3.9 million, or 17%, to $27.4 million, and operating margin decreased 40 basis points from the prior year quarter to 12.6%. Acquisitions contributed $2.7 million of operating income and were 140 basis points dilutive to current period results.

Page 32

Excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency translation, organic operating income increased 4% to $24.5 million, and organic operating margin improved 90 basis points to 13.9%. The increase in organic operating income and margin was primarily due to our cost containment efforts and cost savings from prior year restructuring activities.

New orders

New orders increased by $49.1 million from the prior year quarter, primarily due to the incremental impact of acquisitions of $39.1 million. The increase in organic new orders is primarily due to higher orders of flight control products on Boeing aircraft.

Six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with six months ended June 30, 2012

Sales

Sales increased $75.3 million, or 22%, to $421.4 million, from the comparable prior year period, driven by increases in the commercial market of 64%, partially offset by a decline in sales in the defense market of 8%. Acquisitions contributed $79.7 million, or 23%, to the increase in sales.

Defense sales decreased 8%, as compared to the prior year period, primarily in the defense aerospace market, due to lower production levels on the Black Hawk and lower sales of embedded computing products on helicopter programs and various other domestic and foreign military aircraft. In the ground defense market, sales decreased primarily due to lower comparable sales of turret drive systems to international customers.

The increase in sales in the commercial market was primarily due to the aforementioned acquisitions coupled with strong organic growth of 18% in the commercial aerospace market. Sales in the commercial aerospace market increased primarily due to higher sales of our flight control products on all major Boeing aircraft, as well as strong demand for sensor and control products serving the regional jet and commercial helicopter markets.

Operating income

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, operating income increased $3.1 million, or 8%, to $39.5 million, compared with the same period in 2012, while operating margin decreased 110 basis points to 9.4%. Acquisitions contributed $1.3 million of operating income and were 180 basis points dilutive to current period results.

Excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency, as well as the prior year one-time restructuring charges, organic operating income and margin were up slightly, as our cost containment efforts offset lower organic sales volume.

New orders

New orders increased by $109.5 million, compared with the same period in 2012, primarily due to incremental orders from acquisitions of $76.1 million, and increased orders of our sensors and controls products, offset by lower new orders of our embedded computing products on defense applications.

Three months ended June 30, 2013 compared with three months ended June 30, 2012

Sales

Sales increased $9.1 million, or 13%, to $79.8 million, from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to a $6.6 million incremental impact from our Gartner acquisition, which contributed incremental sales to the oil and gas and general industrial markets. In addition, sales in the commercial aerospace market were up 13% due to an increase in volume in our coatings and shot peening services as we continue to benefit from the ramp up in OEM production rates, increased services at the Rolls-Royce aerospace manufacturing facilities, and strong demand for our coatings and shot and laser peening services to commercial markets.

Operating income

During the second quarter ended June 30, 2013, operating income increased $8.8 million, or 148%, to $14.7 million and operating margin increased 1,010 basis points to 18.5%. Our Gartner acquisition contributed $0.4 million of incremental operating income and was 110 basis points dilutive to current period results.

Excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency translation, organic operating income increased $8.6 million, to $14.5 million, and organic operating margin improved 1,140 basis points, to 19.8%, primarily due to increased sales volume resulting in favorable absorption of overhead costs and operational benefits as the result of closing underperforming facilities in the prior year. In addition, prior year period results were impacted by $5.2 million of restructuring charges that did not reoccur in the current period.

Page 34

New orders

The increase in new orders of $8.1 million, compared with the same period in 2012, is primarily due to the incremental impact of our Gartner acquisition.

Six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with six months ended June 30, 2012

Sales

Sales increased $16.9 million, or 12%, from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to a $13.4 million incremental impact from our Gartner acquisition, which contributed incremental sales to the oil and gas and general industrial markets. In addition, sales in the commercial aerospace market were up 12%, due to an increase in volume in our coatings and shot peening services as we continue to benefit from the ramp up in OEM production rates, increased services at the Rolls-Royce aerospace manufacturing facilities, and strong demand for our coatings and shot and laser peening services to commercial markets.

Operating income

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, operating income increased $11.0 million, or 70%, to $26.8 million and operating margin increased 590 basis points to 17.1%. Our Gartner acquisition contributed $1.1 million of incremental operating income and was 80 basis points dilutive to current period results.

Excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency translation, organic operating income increased $10.2 million, to $26.0 million, and organic operating margin improved 680 basis points to 18.0%, primarily due to increased sales volume resulting in favorable absorption of overhead costs and operational benefits as the result of closing underperforming facilities in the prior year. In addition, prior year period results were impacted by $5.2 million of restructuring charges that did not reoccur in the current year period.

New orders

The increase in new orders of $15 million, compared with the same period in 2012, is primarily due to the incremental impact of our Gartner acquisition.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources and Use of Cash

We derive the majority of our operating cash inflow from receipts on the sale of goods and services and cash outflow for the procurement of materials and labor; cash flow is therefore subject to market fluctuations and conditions. Most of our long-term contracts allow for several billing points (progress or milestone) that provide us with cash receipts as costs are incurred throughout the project rather than upon contract completion, thereby reducing working capital requirements. In some cases, these payments can exceed the costs incurred on a project.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS of

FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued

Cash provided by operating activities was $60.8 million during the first six months of 2013, compared with $18.2 million in the prior year period. The increase in the amount of cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to higher cash earnings, higher receipts of advanced payments, and lower vendor payments.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the first six months of 2013 was $133.2 million, compared with $1.9 million of cash provided by investing activities in the prior year period. The increase in cash used by investing activities is primarily due to the Phönix acquisition, while the cash provided from investing activities in the prior year period was primarily due to the proceeds received from the sale of the heat treating business.

Capital expenditures decreased $8.6 million, to $32.1 million, compared with the same period in 2012, as we incurred higher levels of investment in 2012 as a result of our flight systems business expansion.

Financing Activities

Debt Issuances

On February 26, 2013, the Corporation issued $400 million of Senior Notes (the 2013 Notes). The 2013 Notes consist of $225 million of 3.70% Senior Notes that mature on February 26, 2023, $100 million of 3.85% Senior Notes that mature on February 26, 2025, and $75 million of 4.05% Senior Series Notes that mature on February 26, 2028. An additional $100 million of 4.11% Senior Notes that mature on September 26, 2028, will be issued in September of 2013. The 2013 Notes are senior unsecured obligations, equal in right of payment to our existing senior indebtedness. The Corporation, at its option, can prepay at any time all or any part of the 2013 Notes, subject to a make-whole payment in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement. In connection with the issuance of the 2013 Notes, the Corporation paid customary fees that have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the 2013 Notes. Under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Corporation is required to maintain certain financial ratios, the most restrictive of which is a debt to capitalization limit of 60%, and funding obligations under the defined pension plan. The 2013 Notes also contain a cross default provision with respect to our other senior indebtedness.

The Corporation’s debt outstanding at June 30, 2013 had an average interest rate of 3.4%, as compared to an average interest rate of 4.0% in the comparable prior year period.

Revolving Credit Agreement

As of the end of June 30, 2013, the Corporation had no outstanding borrowings under the 2012 Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement). The unused credit available under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2013 was $450 million.

Repurchase of common stock

During the first six months of 2013, the Company did not repurchase any shares under its share repurchase program. During the first six months of 2012, the Company used $5 million of cash to repurchase approximately 157,000 outstanding shares.

Dividend increase

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company increased its dividend to ten cents ($0.10) a share, a 11.1% increase over the prior year dividend.

Cash Utilization

Management continually evaluates cash utilization alternatives, including share repurchases, acquisitions, and increased dividends to determine the most beneficial use of available capital resources. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, available borrowings under the credit facility, and ability to raise additional capital through the

credit markets, are sufficient to meet both the short-term and long-term capital needs of the organization, including the return of capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases and growing our business through acquisitions.

Debt Compliance

As of the date of this report, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

Non-GAAP Measures

Management reviews key performance indicators including revenue, segment operating income and margins, and new orders, among others. In addition, we consider certain measures to be useful to management and investors when evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented. These measures provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations from period to period. These metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be considered a substitute for measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures that we disclose are organic revenue and organic operating income - defined as revenue and operating income, excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and contributions from acquisitions and divestitures made during the current year.

⁽¹⁾ The term incremental is used to highlight the impact acquisitions had on the current year results, for which there was no comparable prior year data. Therefore, the results of operations for acquisitions are incremental for the first twelve months from the date of acquisition and are removed from our organic results. Additionally, the results of operations for divested businesses are removed from the comparable prior year period for purposes of calculating organic results. The remaining businesses are referred to as organic.

⁽²⁾ Organic results exclude the effects of current period foreign currency translation.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of these statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by the application of our accounting policies. Critical accounting policies are those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. A summary of significant accounting policies and a description of accounting policies that are considered critical may be found in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2013, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1, and the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There has been no material changes in our market risk during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Information regarding market risk and market risk management policies is more fully described in item “7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of June 30, 2013 our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2013 insofar as they are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and they include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of business, we and our subsidiaries are subject to various pending claims, lawsuits, and contingent liabilities. We do not believe that the disposition of any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

We or our subsidiaries have been named in a number of lawsuits that allege injury from exposure to asbestos. To date, neither we nor our subsidiaries have been found liable or paid any material sum of money in settlement in any case. We believe that the minimal use of asbestos in our past and current operations and the relatively non-friable condition of asbestos in our products makes it unlikely that we will face material liability in any asbestos litigation, whether individually or in the aggregate. We maintain insurance coverage for these potential liabilities and believe adequate coverage exists to cover any unanticipated asbestos liability.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

There has been no material changes in our Risk Factors during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Information regarding our Risk Factors is more fully described in Item “1A. Risk Factors” of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
