NOTES to CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(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 commercial/industrial, defense, and energy markets.

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

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared 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, 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. In the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, there were no individual significant changes in estimated contract costs. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s 2013 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.

Changes in Segment Presentation

As a result of certain organizational changes in 2014, the Corporation revised its reportable segments to align to the major markets it currently serves: Commercial/Industrial, Defense, and Energy. Prior period financial information has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The change in reportable segments did not impact the Corporation's previously reported Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 11 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Corporation's reportable segments.

Discontinued operations

During the second quarter we sold our Benshaw and 3D Radar businesses, which had been previously reported within the Defense segment and reclassified the Vessels business, which had been previously reported within the Energy segment, as held for sale. Please refer to Footnote 3 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. The results of operations of these businesses are reported as discontinued operations within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Prior year amounts have been restated to conform to the current year presentation.

Corrections to Prior Years Amounts

The presentation of net sales and cost of sales in the prior year's statement of earnings has been corrected to separately present the components of product and service sales and costs of sales. This change in presentation did not affect total net sales, total cost of sales, total gross profit, operating income, or net earnings.

Out of Period Correction of an Immaterial Error Related to Three and Six Month Periods ended June 30, 2013

In the third quarter of 2013, the Corporation recorded an out of period adjustment related to the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 of $18 million to decrease comprehensive income and increase our deferred tax liability to reflect the tax impact of a May 31, 2013 amendment to our Curtiss-Wright Pension Plan which required a plan remeasurement. This error did not affect our condensed consolidated statement of net earnings or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 or the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013. The

Page 8

NOTES to CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Corporation evaluated the effects of this error on the June 30, 2013 condensed consolidated financial statements and based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, the Corporation determined that the error was not material and, therefore, amendment of previously filed reports is not required.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard which will supersede previous existing revenue recognition guidance. The standard creates a five-step model for revenue recognition that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering contract terms and relevant facts and circumstances. The five-step model includes (1) identifying the contract, (2) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations and (5) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation has been satisfied. The standard also requires expanded disclosures surrounding revenue recognition. The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, new guidance was issued that amends the current discontinued operations guidance. The new guidance limits discontinued operation reporting to situations where the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results, and requires expanded disclosures for discontinued operations. The adoption of this new guidance will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted in certain instances. The Corporation plans to adopt the provisions of the new guidance during the first quarter of 2015. The significance of this guidance for the Corporation is dependent on any future divestitures or disposals.

2. ACQUISITIONS

The Corporation 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. Adjustments to the purchase price allocation are made only for those items identified as of the acquisition date and prior to completion of the measurement period.

The Corporation acquired three businesses during the six months ended June 30, 2014, described in more detail below.

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, 2014 are $6.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL

Component Coating and Repair Services Limited

On January 10, 2014, the Corporation acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Component Coating and Repair Services Limited (CCRS) for approximately £15 million ($25 million) in cash, net of cash acquired. The Share Purchase 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 sellers. CCRS operates out of two locations in Glasgow and Alfreton in the United Kingdom and will operate within the Corporation's Commercial/Industrial segment. CCRS is a provider of corrosion resistant coatings and precision airfoil repair services for aerospace and industrial turbine applications. Revenues were approximately $9.9 million in the latest fiscal year ending May 31, 2013.

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:

ENERGY

Engemasa Pressure Relief Valves

On June 4, 2014, the Corporation acquired the valve division of Engemasa Engenharia E Materiais LTDA of Sao Carlos, Brazil

for approximately $1.8 million in cash. The division will operate within the Corporation's Energy segment.

Nuclear Power Services Inc.

On February 18, 2014, the Corporation acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Nuclear Power Services Inc. (NPSI) for approximately CAD 9 million (approximately $8.0 million) in cash. The Asset Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties customary for a transaction of this type, including a portion of the purchase price held back as security for potential indemnification claims against the seller. NPSI is based in Ontario, Canada and will operate within the Corporation's Energy segment. NPSI provides qualified nuclear component sourcing, Equipment Qualification, Commercial Grade Dedication (CGD) services, and Instrumentation & Control component manufacturing primarily to the Canadian and International CANDU nuclear industry. NPSI generated revenues of approximately $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Supplemental Pro Forma Statements of Operations Data

The assets, liabilities and results of operations of the businesses acquired in 2014 were not material to the Corporation’s consolidated financial position or results of operations and therefore pro forma financial information for the acquisitions are not presented.

As it relates to the prior year, 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, 2013 as if the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2013 for purposes of the financial information presented for the period ended June 30, 2013.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated results are not necessarily indicative of what our consolidated results of operations actually would have been had the Corporation 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 $1.1 million and $2.7 million for the three and six months ended, June 30, 2013, respectively.


•	Additional interest expense associated with the incremental borrowings that would have been incurred to acquire these companies as of January 1, 2012 of $1.3 million and $3.1 million for the three and six months ended, June 30, 2013, respectively.

8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Forward Foreign Exchange and Currency Option Contracts

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

Interest Rate Risks and Related Strategies

The Corporation’s primary interest rate exposure results from changes in U.S. dollar interest rates. The Corporation’s policy is to manage interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. 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.

The notional amounts of the Corporation’s outstanding interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges were $400 million at June 30, 2014.

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.

Page 14

CURTISS-WRIGHT CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES to CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

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.

11. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Prior to the first quarter of 2014, the Corporation reported its results of operations through three segments: Flow Control, Controls, and Surface Technologies. Beginning in the first quarter of 2014, the Corporation realigned its reportable segments with its end markets to strengthen its ability to service customers and recognize certain organizational efficiencies. As result of this realignment the Corporation has three new reportable segments: Commercial/Industrial, Defense, and Energy. The Corporation's former Surface Technologies segment is consolidated within the new Commercial/Industrial segment. The commercial businesses which were in the former Controls segment form part of the new Commercial/Industrial segment. The Corporation's defense businesses, which were primarily in the Corporation’s former Controls segment and to a lesser extent in the former Flow Control segment, are now consolidated within the new Defense segment. The Corporation's Oil and Gas and Nuclear divisions, which were in the former Flow Control segment, form the new Energy segment.

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

Net sales and operating income by reportable segment was as follows:

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.

In December 2013, the Corporation, along with other unaffiliated parties, received a claim from Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL) filed in the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta, Judicial District of Calgary. The claim pertains to a January 2011 fire and explosion at a delayed coker unit at its Fort McMurray refinery that resulted in the injury of five CNRL employees, damage to property and equipment, and various forms of consequential loss, such as loss of profit, lost opportunities, and business interruption. The fire and explosion occurred when a CNRL employee bypassed certain safety controls and opened an operating coker unit. The total quantum of alleged damages arising from the incident has not been finalized, but is estimated to meet or exceed $1 billion. The Corporation maintains various forms of commercial, property and casualty, product liability, and other forms of insurance; however, such insurance may not be adequate to cover the costs associated with a judgment against us. The Corporation is currently unable to estimate an amount, or range of potential losses, if any, from this matter. The Corporation believes it has adequate legal defenses and intends to defend this matter vigorously. The Corporation's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, could be materially affected during a future fiscal quarter or fiscal year by unfavorable developments or outcome regarding this claim.

In addition to the CNRL litigation, the Corporation is party to a number of other 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 $15.9 million at June 30, 2014 and $16.3 million at December 31, 2013. 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were $36.6 million and $47.2 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding, respectively, and $25.9 million and $23.2 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

Within the Corporation’s Defense segment, our 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 AP1000 China and United States contracts include liquidated damage provisions for failure to meet contractual delivery dates if the Corporation caused the delay and the delay was not excusable. The Corporation would be liable for liquidated damages if the Corporation was deemed responsible for not meeting the delivery dates. On October 10, 2013, the Corporation received a letter from Westinghouse stating entitlements to the maximum amount of liquidated damages allowable under the AP1000 China contract from Westinghouse of approximately $25 million. As of June 30, 2014, the Corporation has not met certain contractual delivery dates under its AP 1000 China and US contracts; however there are significant uncertainties as to which parties are responsible for the delays. Given the uncertainties surrounding the responsibility for the delays no accrual has been made for this matter as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, the range of possible loss is $0 to $35 million for the delivery dates that have not been met.

COMPANY ORGANIZATION

Curtiss-Wright Corporation is a diversified, multinational provider of highly engineered, technologically advanced, value-added products and services to a broad range of industries which are reported through our Commercial/Industrial, Defense, and Energy segments. We are positioned as a market leader across a diversified array of niche markets through engineering and technological leadership, precision manufacturing, and strong relationships with our customers. We provide products and services to a number of global markets and have achieved balanced growth through the successful application of our core competencies in engineering and precision manufacturing. Our overall strategy is to be a balanced and diversified company, less vulnerable to cycles or downturns in any one market, and to establish strong positions in profitable niche markets. Approximately 29% of our 2014 revenues are expected to be generated from defense-related markets.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2014, the Corporation realigned its reportable segments with its end markets to strengthen its ability to service customers and recognize certain organizational efficiencies. As result of this realignment the Corporation has three new reportable segments: Commercial/Industrial, Defense, and Energy. Please refer to Note 11 of the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

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 last twelve months. When used in the MD&A, we have provided the comparable GAAP measure in the discussion. As discussed in footnote 3, during the second quarter we sold our Benshaw and 3D Radar businesses, which had been previously reported within the Defense segment and reclassified the Vessels business, which had been previously reported within the Energy segment, as held for sale. The results of operations of these businesses are reported as discontinued operations within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Prior year amounts have been restated to conform to the current year presentation.

Our three reportable segments are generally concentrated in a few end markets; however, each may have sales across several end markets. The Corporation’s end markets are shown in the accompanying Net sales by end market table included within the Consolidated Statements of Earnings section of our MD&A. A market is defined as an area of demand for products and services. The sales trends for the relevant markets will be discussed for each of the three reportable segments.

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 in the defense market increased $4 million, or 2%, to $188 million, from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to increased production levels on the Virginia class submarine and DDG-51 naval programs.

Commercial sales increased $51 million, or 12%, to $464 million, from the comparable prior year period, due to incremental contributions from our acquisitions and increased organic sales to the commercial aerospace and oil and gas markets. Sales in the commercial aerospace market increased primarily due to increased surface technology services and increased sales of sensing products on various commercial aircraft, while sales increased in the general industrial market primarily due to the incremental contribution from our Arens acquisition. Sales increased in the oil and gas market primarily due to increased pressure relief and industrial valve sales.

Operating income

During the second quarter of 2014, operating income increased $16 million, or 27%, to $77 million, and operating margin increased 160 basis points to 11.7% compared with the same period in 2013. Acquisitions contributed $3 million of operating income. The increase in operating income within our Commercial/Industrial and Energy segments primarily reflects the increases in sales, the benefits from our organizational realignment, and ongoing operational and productivity improvement initiatives. The decrease in operating income in our Defense segment is primarily due to lower levels of production on the AP1000 Domestic and China orders.

Six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with six months ended June 30, 2013

Sales

Sales in the defense market increased $10 million, or 3%, to $369 million as increased sales in the aerospace defense and naval defense markets were offset by lower sales in the ground defense market. The increase in sales in the aerospace defense market was driven primarily by increased sales of our embedded computing products on various helicopter programs as well as a $5 million incremental contribution from our Parvus acquisition. In addition, sales in the naval defense market increased primarily due to higher production levels on the Virginia class submarine and DDG-51 programs. Sales in the ground defense market decreased primarily due to lower sales of our gun stabilization products on international ground defense platforms.

Commercial sales increased $102 million, or 13%, to $909 million. Sales increased in the commercial aerospace market, primarily due to increased product sales on the Boeing 787 platform. Sales increased in the oil and gas market primarily due to higher levels of product sales to the upstream market and higher international coker equipment sales. In addition, sales increased in the general industrial market due to the incremental contribution from our Arens acquisition and higher sales of industrial vehicle product sales. In the power generation market, our sales decreased primarily due to lower levels of production on the AP1000 Domestic and China orders.

Operating income

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, operating income increased $40 million, or 39%, to $140 million, and operating margin improved 230 basis points, to 11.0%, compared with the same period in 2013. Acquisitions contributed $4 million of incremental operating income. On a segment basis, the increase in operating income in our Commercial/Industrial segment primarily reflects the increase in sales and increased profitability from our fourth quarter 2012 acquisitions of Exlar and Williams Controls. In our Defense segment, operating income was essentially flat as our continuing productivity improvement initiatives offset the lower sales on the AP1000 contracts. In our Energy segment, operating income increased primarily due to increased product sales to the upstream market and higher international coker equipment sales.

Three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with three and six months ended June 30, 2013

Non-segment operating expense

Non-segment operating expense decreased $6 million, to $6 million in the current quarter and decreased $9 million to $14 million in the first six months of 2014, as compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to lower pension expense and higher foreign currency gains.

Interest expense

Interest expense in the current quarter and first six months of 2014 was essentially flat as compared to the respective prior year periods.

Effective tax rate

Our effective tax rates for the current quarter and first six months of 2014 was 32.4% and 31.2%, respectively, essentially flat as compared to the effective tax rates of 31.8% and 31.5%, in the comparable prior year periods.

Net earnings from continuing operations

Net earnings from continuing operations increased $11 million, or 31%, to $46 million, in the current quarter and $27 million, or 47%, to $84 million, in the first six months of 2014, primarily due to higher operating income in our Commercial/Industrial and Energy segments.

Comprehensive income

Pension and Postretirement adjustments

Pension and postretirement adjustments within comprehensive income decreased approximately $52 million to $1 million in the current quarter and approximately $54 million to $2 million in in the six month period ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in pension and postretirement adjustments within comprehensive income for both the current quarter and six month period ended June 30, 2014 is primarily due to an amendment that was made to the Corporation's pension plan in the second quarter of 2013. The amendment to the pension plan resulted in a curtailment which required a remeasurement of the assets and liabilities of the Curtiss-Wright Pension Plan. The combined impact of the remeasurement and curtailment was a pre-tax $48 million adjustment to other comprehensive income in the second quarter of 2013.

Foreign Currency Translation adjustments

The increase in foreign currency translation adjustments to comprehensive income of $28 million, to $18 million, is primarily due to an increase in the Canadian and British Pound exchange rates during the three month period ended June 30, 2014, as compared to a decrease in the Canadian exchange rate and a minimal change in the British Pound exchange rate during the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

The increase in foreign currency translation adjustments to comprehensive income of $50 million, to a $8 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 is primarily due to an increase in the British Pound exchange rates during the six month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to decreases in the Canadian and British Pound exchange rates during the six month period ended June 30, 2013.

New orders

New orders for the current quarter increased $171 million, to $750 million, primarily due to higher orders on naval defense programs. New orders for the first six months of 2014 increased $239 million to $1,413 million, primarily due to higher orders on naval defense programs, increased orders of our surface technologies services, and increased orders for our controllers and industrial drive products.

Three months ended June 30, 2014 compared with three months ended June 30, 2013

Sales

Sales in the Commercial/Industrial segment are primarily to the commercial aerospace and general industrial markets, and to a lesser extent the defense and oil and gas markets.

Sales increased $34 million, or 14%, to $276 million, from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to both the incremental impact of acquisitions and strong demand in the commercial markets. Acquisitions contributed approximately $18 million of incremental sales, primarily due to our Arens acquisition, which contributed $15 million of incremental sales primarily in the general industrial market. Sales in the commercial aerospace market increased as we continue to benefit from the ramp up in OEM production rates on the Boeing 737 and 787 programs and higher demand for our sensors and controls equipment. Sales increased within the oil and gas market, primarily due to higher sales of our industrial valve products.

Operating income

Operating income increased $11 million, or 40%, to $38 million, and operating margin increased 250 basis points from the prior year quarter to 13.7%. Acquisitions contributed $2 million of incremental operating income. The increase in organic operating income is primarily due to increased profitability from the expected accretive impact from our acquisitions of Exlar and Williams Controls. Additionally, increased surface technology services and industrial valve product sales, along with ongoing operational and productivity improvement initiatives, contributed to higher operating income.

New orders

Page 27

New orders increased $18 million to $271 million, from the prior year period, primarily due to incremental new orders from acquisitions of $19 million.

Six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with six months ended June 30, 2013

Sales

Sales increased $80 million, or 17%, to $542 million, in the first six months of 2014, compared with the same period in 2013, primarily due to both the incremental impact of acquisitions and strong demand in the commercial markets. Acquisitions contributed approximately $44 million of incremental sales, primarily due to our Arens acquisition, which contributed $29 million of incremental sales in the general industrial market. Sales in the commercial aerospace market increased primarily due to the ramp up in OEM production rates on the Boeing 737 and 787 programs and higher demand for our sensors and controls equipment. In addition, increased coatings and analytic testing services as well as contributions from our CCRS acquisition contributed to increased commercial aerospace sales. Additionally, sales increased within the oil and gas market, primarily due to higher sales of our industrial valve products.

Operating income

Operating income increased $23 million, or 49%, to $70 million, and operating margin increased 280 basis points from the prior year period to 13.0%. Acquisitions contributed $3 million of incremental operating income. The increase in organic operating income is primarily due to increased profitability from the expected accretive impact from our acquisitions of Exlar, Phönix, and Williams Controls. Additionally, increased surface technology services and industrial valve product sales, along with ongoing operational and productivity improvement initiatives, contributed to higher operating income.

New orders

New orders increased $50 million, to $550 million, from the prior year period, primarily due to incremental new orders from acquisitions of $40 million.

Three months ended June 30, 2014 compared with three months ended June 30, 2013

Sales

Sales in the Defense segment are primarily to the defense markets, and to a lesser extent, the nuclear power generation market.

Sales were $192 million, essentially flat as compared to the comparable prior year period. Our Parvus acquisition contributed $5 million of incremental sales. Within the defense market, naval defense sales increased primarily due to higher production of pumps and generators on the Virginia class submarine program and increased production on the DDG-51 Destroyer program. This was partially offset by lower production levels on the AP1000 China and Domestic programs within the power generation market.

Operating income

Operating income decreased $5 million, or 18%, to $24 million, and operating margin decreased 270 basis points from the prior year quarter to 12.7%. Our Parvus acquisition contributed $1 million of incremental operating income. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to lower levels of production on the AP1000 programs, partially offset by our cost reduction and containment initiatives within our defense businesses.

New orders

New orders increased by $147 million to $315 million, from the prior year period, primarily due to higher orders of pumps and generators in the naval defense market.

Six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with six months ended June 30, 2013

Sales

Sales were $379 million, essentially flat compared to the prior year period. Our Parvus acquisition contributed $10 million of incremental sales. Within the defense market, naval defense sales increased primarily due to higher production of pumps and generators on the Virginia class submarine program and increased production on the DDG-51 Destroyer program. Aerospace defense sales increased primarily due to both the incremental contribution from Parvus and higher sales of our embedded computing products on various helicopter programs. In the ground defense market, sales decreased primarily due to lower sales of our gun stabilization products on international ground defense platforms.

Operating income

Operating income increased $1 million, or 1%, to $48 million, from the prior year, while operating margin increased 20 basis points to 12.6%. Our Parvus acquisition contributed $2 million of incremental operating income.

The increase in operating income was primarily due to benefits of our organizational realignment and continuing productivity improvement initiatives in our defense businesses. This improvement was partially offset by lower levels of production on the AP1000 programs.

New orders

Page 29

New orders increased by $167 million to $522 million, from the prior year period, primarily due to higher orders of pumps and generators in the naval defense market.

Three months ended June 30, 2014 compared with three months ended June 30, 2013

Sales

Sales in the Energy segment are primarily to the oil and gas and nuclear power generation markets.

Sales increased $22 million, or 13%, to $184 million, from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to increased sales in the oil and gas market. This increase in sales was primarily due to higher sales of pressure relief valves and improved international coker equipment sales. In the power generation market, sales increased to a lesser extent, due to the timing of nuclear power plant outages that shifted from the first quarter into the second quarter.

Operating income

During the second quarter of 2014, operating income increased $5 million, or 31%, to $21 million and operating margin increased 150 basis points to 11.2%. Operating income increased primarily due to the increase in sales discussed above.

New orders

New orders were relatively flat at $165 million.

Six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with six months ended June 30, 2013

Sales

Sales increased $33 million, or 10%, to $357 million, from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to higher sales in the oil and gas market of our pressure relief valves, increased product sales in the upstream market, and higher international coker equipment sales. In the power generation market, sales increased primarily due to the timing of shipments of safety products to international operating reactors.

Operating income

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, operating income increased $7 million or 25%, to $36 million and operating margin increased 120 basis points to 10.2%. The increase in operating income is primarily due to higher sales in the oil and gas market.

New orders

The increase in new orders of $22 million to $341 million, is primarily due to an increase in orders of our delayed coker products within the oil and gas market.

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.



Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
	June 30, 2014			June 30, 2013
Cash provided by (used):
Operating activities	$	84,417		$	60,801
Investing activities	(18,162		)	(133,175		)
Financing activities	(47,695		)	108,609
Effect of exchange-rate changes on cash	286			(5,215		)
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	18,846			31,020

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $84 million during the first six months of 2014, compared with $61 million in the prior year period. The increase in the amount of cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to higher net earnings.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the first six months of 2014 was $18 million, compared with $133 million of cash used in investing activities in the prior year period. The decrease in cash used by investing activities is primarily due to a lower amount of cash used for acquisitions. In the first six months of 2014, the Corporation invested approximately $34 million in

FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued

acquisitions, while we invested $98 million in acquisitions in the comparable prior year period. In addition, the Corporation received net proceeds from divestitures of $52 million in the current year period.

During the first six months of 2014, capital expenditures increased $4 million to $36 million, primarily due to a facility expansion within our sensors and controls business.

Financing Activities

Debt

The Corporation’s debt outstanding had an average interest rate of 3.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to an average interest rate of 3.5% and 3.4%, in the comparable prior year periods. The Corporation's average debt outstanding was $1,013 million and $1,016 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $996 million and $957 million in the comparable prior year periods.

Revolving Credit Agreement

As of the end of June 30, 2014, the Corporation had no outstanding borrowings under the 2012 Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement or credit facility) and $34 million in letters of credit supported by the credit facility. The unused credit available under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2014 was $466 million, which could be borrowed without violating any of our debt covenants.

Repurchase of common stock

During the first six months of 2014, the Company used $24 million of cash to repurchase approximately 367,000 outstanding shares under its share repurchase program. The Company did not repurchase any shares under its share repurchase program in 2013.

Dividends

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company increased its quarterly dividend to thirteen cents ($0.13) a share, a 30% increase over the prior quarter dividend. During the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company made $6 million in dividend payments, as compared to $4 million in the comparable prior year period.

Cash Utilization

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

Debt Compliance

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

As of June 30, 2014, we had the ability to borrow additional debt of $1.5 billion without violating our debt to capitalization covenant.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS of

FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued

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.

Amounts may not add due to rounding

⁽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 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2014, 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, 2014. 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 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of June 30, 2014 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, 2014 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, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Page 35

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.

In December 2013, the Corporation, along with other unaffiliated parties, received a claim from Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL) filed in the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta, Judicial District of Calgary. The claim pertains to a January 2011 fire and explosion at a delayed coker unit at its Fort McMurray refinery that resulted in the injury of five CNRL employees, damage to property and equipment, and various forms of consequential loss such as loss of profit, lost opportunities, and business interruption. The fire and explosion occurred when a CNRL employee bypassed certain safety controls and opened an operating coker unit. The total quantum of alleged damages arising from the incident has not been finalized, but is estimated to meet or exceed $1 billion. The Corporation maintains various forms of commercial, property and casualty, product liability, and other forms of insurance; however, such insurance may not be adequate to cover the costs associated with a judgment against us. The Corporation is currently unable to estimate an amount, or range of potential losses, if any, from this matter. The Corporation believes it has adequate legal defenses and intends to defend this matter vigorously. The Corporation's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, could be materially affected during a future fiscal quarter or fiscal year by unfavorable developments or outcome regarding this claim.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

There has been no material changes in our Risk Factors during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Information regarding our Risk Factors is more fully described in Item “1A. Risk Factors” of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
