NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three and Six Month Periods Ended April 26, 2013 and April 27, 2012
1. | The consolidated balance sheet as of April 26, 2013, the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the three and six month periods ended April 26, 2013, and April 27, 2012, and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six month periods ended April 26, 2013, and April 27, 2012, are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, all of the necessary adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, have been made to present fairly the financial statements referred to above in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the above statements do not include all of the footnotes required for complete financial statements. The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for the full year. |
2. | The notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 26, 2012, provide a summary of significant accounting policies and additional financial information that should be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q. |
3. | The timing of the Companys revenues is impacted by the purchasing patterns of customers and, as a result, revenues are not generated evenly throughout the year. Moreover, the Companys first fiscal quarter, November through January, includes significant holiday periods in both Europe and North America. |
4. | Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units. Common shares issuable from share-based compensation plans that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive were 249,900 and 531,600 in the second fiscal quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. Shares used for calculating earnings per share are disclosed in the following table. |

6. | The income tax rate was 16.2% and 16.7% for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. In the first six months of fiscal 2013, the Company recognized $3.6 million of discrete tax benefits principally related to the following items. The first item was approximately $1.5 million of tax benefits due to the retroactive extension of the U.S. federal research and experimentation credits. The second item was approximately $2.3 million of tax benefits related to the settlement of U.S. and foreign tax examinations. In the first six months of fiscal 2012, the Company recognized $2.3 million in discrete tax benefits due to a change in French tax laws associated with the holding company structure and the financing of the Souriau Group (Souriau) acquisition. The income tax rate differed from the statutory rate in the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, as both years benefited from various tax credits and certain foreign interest expense deductions. |
It is anticipated that during the third quarter of fiscal 2013, a tax benefit of approximately $4.1 million will be recorded to account for the reduction of net deferred tax liabilities as a result of the proposed enactment of tax laws reducing the U.K. statutory income tax rate.
It is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months approximately $5.1 million of tax benefits associated with research and development tax credits, capital and operating losses that are currently unrecognized could be recognized as a result of settlement of examinations and/or the expiration of a statute of limitations.
7. | On February 4, 2013, the Company acquired the Gamesman Group (Gamesman) for $40.8 million. Gamesman is a global supplier of input devices principally serving the gaming industry. Gamesman is included in the Avionics & Controls segment. |
8. | As of April 26, 2013, the Company had three share-based compensation plans, which are described below. The compensation cost that has been charged against income for those plans for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012 was $5.7 million and $5.9 million, respectively. During the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, the Company issued 383,669 and 80,842 shares, respectively, under its share-based compensation plans. |
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
The ESPP is a safe-harbor designed plan whereby shares are purchased by participants at a discount of 5% of the market value on the purchase date and, therefore, compensation cost is not recorded.
Employee Sharesave Scheme
Under the employee sharesave scheme for U.K. employees, participants are allowed the option to purchase shares at a discount of 5% of the market price of the stock as of the beginning of the offering period. The term of these options is three years. The sharesave scheme is not a safe-harbor design, and therefore, compensation cost is recognized on this plan. Under the sharesave scheme, option exercise prices are equal to the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. The Company granted 16,722 and 45,063 options in the six month periods ended April 26, 2013, and April 27, 2012, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the six month periods ended April 26, 2013, and April 27, 2012, was $20.24 and $19.85 per share, respectively.
The fair value of the awards under the employee sharesave scheme was estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model which uses the assumptions noted in the following table. The risk-free rate for the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues in effect at the time of grant.

Equity Incentive Plan
Under the equity incentive plan, option exercise prices are equal to the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. The Company granted 237,700 and 333,400 options in the six month periods ended April 26, 2013, and April 27, 2012, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the six month periods ended April 26, 2013, and April 27, 2012, was $29.12 and $24.13 per share, respectively.
The fair value of each option granted by the Company was estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model which uses the assumptions noted in the following table. The Company uses historical data to estimate volatility of the Companys common stock and option exercise and employee termination assumptions. The risk-free rate for the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues in effect at the time of the grant.

In December 2012, the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee approved restricted stock unit awards under the equity incentive plan. The Company granted 32,200 restricted stock units during the six month period ended April 26, 2013. The weighted-average grant date fair value of restricted stock units granted during the six month period ended April 26, 2013, was $62.52 per share. The fair value for each restricted stock unit granted by the Company is equal to the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. There were no restricted stock units granted in the six month period ended April 27, 2012.
9. | The Companys pension plans principally include a U.S. pension plan maintained by Esterline and a non-U.S. plan maintained by CMC Electronics, Inc. (CMC). Components of periodic pension cost consisted of the following: |

10. | In March 2011, the Company entered into a secured credit facility for $460 million made available through a group of banks. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Companys assets and interest is based on standard inter-bank offering rates. The credit facility expires in July 2016. The spread ranges from LIBOR plus 1.5% to LIBOR plus 2.25% depending on the leverage ratios at the time the funds are drawn. At April 26, 2013, the Company had $200.0 million outstanding under the secured credit facility at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% or 1.95%. |
In July 2011, the Company amended the secured credit facility to provide for a 125.0 million term loan (Euro Term Loan). The interest rate on the Euro Term Loan ranges from Euro LIBOR plus 1.5% to Euro LIBOR plus 2.25% depending on the leverage ratios at the time the funds are drawn. At April 26, 2013, the Company had 43.9 million outstanding or $57.2 million under the Euro Term Loan at an interest rate of Euro LIBOR plus 1.75% or 1.82%. The loan amortizes at 1.25% of the original principal balance quarterly through March 2016, with the remaining balance due in July 2016.
In April 2013, the Company amended the secured credit facility to include a $175.0 million term loan (U.S. Term Loan). The interest rate on the U.S. Term Loan ranges from LIBOR plus 1.5% to LIBOR plus 2.25% depending on the leverage ratios at the time the funds are drawn. At April 26, 2013, the Company had $175.0 million outstanding under the U.S. Term Loan at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% or 1.96%. The loan amortizes at 1.25% of the original principal balance quarterly through March 2016, with the remaining balance due in July 2016.
In April 2013, the Company redeemed the $175.0 million 6.625% Senior Notes due March 2017 (2017 Notes). In connection with the redemption, the Company wrote off $1.3 million in unamortized debt issuance costs as a charge against interest expense. In addition, the Company incurred a $3.9 million redemption premium and terminated its $175.0 million interest rate swap agreements and received proceeds of $2.9 million. As a result, the redemption of the 2017 Notes resulted in a net $0.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
Based on quoted market prices, the approximate fair value of the Companys $250.0 million 7.0% Senior Notes due August 2020 (2020 Notes) was approximately $277.5 million as of April 26, 2013, and October 26, 2012, respectively. The approximate fair value of the Companys 2017 Notes was $181.3 million as of October 26, 2012. The carrying amounts of the secured credit facility, U.S. Term Loan and Euro Term Loan approximate fair value. Estimates of fair value for the 2020 Notes are based on quoted market prices, and considered Level 2 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy, described in Note 11.
Government refundable advances of $52.0 million at April 26, 2013, consist of payments received from the Canadian government to assist in research and development related to commercial aviation. The repayment of this advance is based on year-over-year commercial aviation revenue growth at CMC beginning in 2014. Imputed interest on the advance was 5.0% at April 26, 2013.
11. | Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy has been established that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. An asset or liabilitys |
9
level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy of fair value measurements is described below: |
Level 1 Valuations are based on quoted prices that the Company has the ability to obtain in actively traded markets for identical assets and liabilities. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market or exchange traded market, a valuation of these instruments does not require a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2 Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3 Valuations are based on model-based techniques for which some or all of the assumptions are obtained from indirect market information that is significant to the overall fair value measurement and which require a significant degree of management judgment.
The following table sets forth the Companys financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy at April 26, 2013, and October 26, 2012.

The Companys embedded derivatives are the result of entering into sales or purchase contracts that are denominated in a currency other than the Companys functional currency or the suppliers or customers functional currency. The fair value is determined by calculating the difference between quoted exchange rates at the time the contract was entered into and the period-end exchange rate. These contracts are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The Companys derivative contracts consist of foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements. These derivative contracts are over the counter and their fair value is determined using modeling techniques that include market inputs such as interest rates, yield curves, and currency exchange rates. These contracts are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
12. | The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap contracts for the purpose of minimizing exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on business transactions and interest rates, respectively. The Companys policy is to execute such instruments with banks the Company believes to be creditworthy and not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. These derivative financial instruments do not subject the Company to undue risk, as gains and losses on these instruments generally offset gains and losses on the underlying assets, liabilities, or anticipated transactions that are being hedged. |
All derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For a derivative that has not been designated as an accounting hedge, the change in the fair value is recognized immediately through earnings. For a derivative that has been designated as an accounting hedge of an existing asset or liability (a fair value hedge), the change in the fair value of both the derivative and underlying asset or
10
liability is recognized immediately through earnings. For a derivative designated as an accounting hedge of an anticipated transaction (a cash flow hedge), the change in the fair value is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) to the extent the derivative is effective in mitigating the exposure related to the anticipated transaction. The change in the fair value related to the ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is immediately recognized in earnings. The amount recorded within AOCI is reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings.
The fair values of derivative instruments are presented on a gross basis, as the Company does not have any derivative contracts which are subject to master netting arrangements. The Company did not have any hedges with credit-risk-related contingent features or that required the posting of collateral as of April 26, 2013. The cash flows from derivative contracts are recorded in operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts
The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies which subjects the Companys cash flows and earnings to exposure related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures arise primarily from purchases or sales of products and services from third parties. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts provide for the purchase or sale of foreign currencies at specified future dates at specified exchange rates, and are used to offset changes in the fair value of certain assets or liabilities or forecasted cash flows resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As of April 26, 2013, and October 26, 2012, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts principally to sell U.S. dollars with notional amounts of $359.3 million and $358.4 million, respectively. These notional values consist primarily of contracts for the European euro, British pound sterling and Canadian dollar, and are stated in U.S. dollar equivalents at spot exchange rates at the respective dates.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt, which over time should moderate the costs of debt financing. When considered necessary, the Company may use financial instruments in the form of interest rate swaps to help meet this objective. In fiscal 2010, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements for $175.0 million on the 2017 Notes. The swap agreements exchanged the fixed interest rate on the 2017 Notes of 6.625% for a variable interest rate. In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the swap agreements were terminated and the Company redeemed the 2017 Notes with the proceeds from the $175.0 million U.S. Term Loan. The Company recorded a gain on the swap termination of $2.9 million. The gain is included in the Loss on Extinguishment of Debt in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Embedded Derivative Instruments
The Companys embedded derivatives are the result of entering into sales or purchase contracts that are denominated in a currency other than the Companys functional currency or the suppliers or customers functional currency.
Net Investment Hedge
In July 2011, the Company entered into a Euro Term Loan for 125.0 million under the secured credit facility. The Company designated the Euro Term Loan a hedge of the investment in a certain French business unit. The foreign currency gain or loss that is effective as a hedge is reported as a component of AOCI in shareholders equity. To the extent that this hedge is ineffective, the foreign currency gain or loss is recorded in earnings. There has been no ineffectiveness since inception of the hedge.

During the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded losses of $1.8 million and $4.3 million, respectively, on foreign currency forward exchange contracts that have not been designated as an accounting hedge. These foreign currency exchange losses are included in selling, general and administrative expense.
12
There was no significant impact to the Companys earnings related to the ineffective portion of any hedging instruments during the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012. In addition, there was no significant impact to the Companys earnings when a hedged firm commitment no longer qualified as a fair value hedge or when a hedged forecasted transaction no longer qualified as a cash flow hedge during the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012.
Amounts included in AOCI are reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction settles. The Company expects to reclassify approximately $0.1 million of net loss into earnings over the next 12 months. The maximum duration of the Companys foreign currency cash flow hedge contracts at April 26, 2013, is 24 months.
13. | The Company is subject to U.S. export laws and regulations, such as the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), that generally restrict the export of defense products, technical data and defense services. The Company has filed voluntary disclosure reports concerning certain U.S. operating units that voluntarily reported certain technical violations of the ITAR to the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) of the U.S. Department of State. DDTC, through its Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance (DDTC Office of Compliance), enforces compliance with the ITAR through administrative charges for certain violations, including by imposition of civil monetary penalties and other administrative sanctions. On May 22, 2013, the DDTC Office of Compliance informed the Company that, considering the information they currently have concerning the Companys overall history in handling ITAR-controlled transactions, including the substance of the Companys prior voluntary disclosures, and other aspects of certain ITAR compliance errors, it intends to impose civil monetary fines and administrative sanctions. The Company is currently in discussions with the DDTC Office of Compliance to better understand and respond to its concerns. Resolution of this matter might take the form of a consent agreement that could require payment of a civil monetary fine and commit the Company to undertake additional remedial compliance measures and program monitoring. Because of the early stage of the Companys discussions with DDTC, the Company cannot estimate a range of the potential civil monetary fines, administrative sanctions, or other financial obligations associated with remedial actions the Company might be required to take. Although management cannot be certain of the outcome, management does not believe the final resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position. |

Overview
We operate our businesses in three segments: Avionics & Controls, Sensors & Systems and Advanced Materials.
The Avionics & Controls segment includes avionics systems, control systems, interface technologies and communication systems capabilities. Avionics systems designs and develops cockpit systems integration and avionics solutions for commercial and military applications. Control systems designs and manufactures technology interface systems for military and commercial aircraft and land- and sea-based military vehicles. Interface technologies manufactures and develops custom control panels, input systems for medical, industrial, military and gaming industries. Communication systems designs and manufactures military audio and data products for severe battlefield environments, embedded communication intercept receivers for signal intelligence applications, as well as communication control systems to enhance security and aural clarity in military applications.
The Sensors & Systems segment includes power systems, connection technologies, and advanced sensors capabilities. Power systems develops and manufactures electrical power switching and other related systems, principally for aerospace and defense customers. Connection technologies develops and manufactures highly engineered connectors for harsh environments and serves the aerospace, defense & space, power generation, rail and industrial equipment markets. Advanced sensors develops and manufactures high- precision temperature and pressure sensors for aerospace and defense customers.
The Advanced Materials segment includes engineered materials and defense technologies capabilities. Engineered materials develops and manufactures thermally engineered components and high-performance elastomer products used in a wide range of commercial aerospace and military applications. Defense technologies develops and manufactures combustible ordnance components and warfare countermeasure devices for military customers. Sales in all segments include domestic, international, defense and commercial customers.
Our current business and strategic plan focuses on the continued development of our products principally for aerospace and defense markets. We are concentrating our efforts to expand our capabilities in these markets and anticipate the global needs of our customers and respond to such needs with comprehensive solutions. These efforts focus on continuous research and new product development, acquisitions and strategic realignments of operations to expand our capabilities as a more comprehensive supplier to our customers across our entire product offering.
On February 4, 2013, we acquired the Gamesman Group (Gamesman) for $40.8 million. Gamesman is a global supplier of input devices principally serving the gaming industry. Gamesman is included in the Avionics & Controls segment.
For the second fiscal quarter of 2013, net earnings were $35.5 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, compared to $45.2 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, in the second fiscal quarter of 2012. For the first six months of fiscal 2013, net earnings were $60.6 million, or $1.92 per diluted share, compared to $68.0 million, or $2.18 per diluted share, during the prior-year period.
Sales decreased 1.9% to $957.5 million in the first six months of 2013, reflecting lower sales across all our operating segments. Avionics & Controls was impacted by reductions in defense spending mainly due to the continued uncertainty of U.S. congressional budget cuts, or sequestration, on defense spending. While we believe we have adequately anticipated the impact on our financial results for fiscal 2013, the impact of sequestration is yet to be fully determined and additional reductions in defense spending over the next decade could occur. Sensors & Systems sales were impacted by lower aftermarket sales and decreased demand for connection technologies for industrial applications.
Gross margin increased to 35.7% in the first six months of 2013 compared with 35.1% in the prior-year period. The prior-year period included the $12.0 million effect of purchase accounting to recognize the fair value of the Souriau Groups (Souriau) acquired inventory as expense over the first inventory turn. Research, development and engineering spending decreased $7.2 million over the prior-year period to 5.1% of sales, mainly due to decreased
27
spending for Avionics & Controls developments. Selling, general and administrative expense, as a percent of sales, increased 0.7 percentage points over the prior-year period to 20.6% of sales. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense reflected higher corporate expense for regulatory compliance, acquisition expenses and lower expense for Avionics & Controls partially offset by $2.3 million in bad debt expense recorded in the prior-year period.
The second fiscal quarter of 2012 benefited from an $11.9 million gain, or $9.5 million after tax, upon settlement of a contingency related to proceeds from a transaction that preceded our acquisition of CMC Electronics, Inc. (CMC).
In April 2013, we redeemed the $175.0 million 6.625% Senior Notes due March 2017 (2017 Notes). In connection with the redemption, we wrote off $1.3 million in unamortized debt issuance costs as a charge against interest expense. In addition, we incurred a $3.9 million redemption premium and terminated our $175.0 million interest rate swap agreements and received proceeds of $2.9 million. As a result, the redemption of the 2017 Notes resulted in a net $0.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
Operating earnings for the first six months of fiscal 2013 for Avionics & Controls and Sensors & Systems segments increased while Advanced Materials declined compared to the prior-year period. The increase in Avionics & Controls reflected lower research, development and engineering expenses for avionics systems and selling, general and administrative expenses, mainly due to $2.3 million in bad debt expense resulting from the Hawker Beechcraft bankruptcy in the prior-year period. The increase in Sensors & Systems mainly reflected the $12.0 million effect of purchase accounting to recognize the fair value of Souriaus acquired inventory in the prior-year period. The decrease in Advanced Materials was principally due to decreased sales of engineered materials for commercial aviation.
We are subject to U.S. export laws and regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Compliance with ITAR is administered through the Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance (DDTC Office of Compliance), which is part of the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) of the U.S. Department of State. On May 22, 2013, the DDTC Office of Compliance informed us that, considering the information they have concerning our overall history in handling ITAR-controlled transactions, including the substance of our prior voluntary disclosures to the DDTC, and other aspects of certain ITAR compliance errors, it intends to impose civil monetary fines and administrative sanctions. We are currently in discussions with the DDTC Office of Compliance to better understand and respond to its concerns. Resolution of this matter might take the form of a consent agreement that could require payment of a civil monetary fine and commit us to undertake additional remedial compliance measures and program monitoring. We cannot estimate a range of the fines or other financial obligations that might result due to the early stage of the discussions. Although management cannot be certain of the outcome, management does not believe the final resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial position. Please see the further description of this matter in Part II, Item 1 of this report.

The 1.5% decrease in sales of Avionics & Controls mainly reflected decreased sales volumes of avionics systems of $6 million, and control systems and communication systems of $9 million, which were partially offset by an
28
increase in sales of interface technologies of $12 million. The decrease in avionics systems was principally due to a decline in cockpit integration for retrofits of military transport aircraft and for the T-6B military trainer. A $6 million decrease in communication systems principally reflected reduced sales of embedded communication intercept receivers. The increase in sales of interface technologies was due to high sales for medical and gaming applications, of which $5 million was due to the Gamesman acquisition.
The 4.2% decrease in sales of Sensors & Systems principally reflected an $8 million decrease in connection technologies and advanced sensors sales volumes. A $5 million decrease in connection technologies mainly reflected lower demand for industrial applications. The decrease in advanced sensors principally was due to lower aftermarket demand.
The 4.3% increase in sales of Advanced Materials principally reflected increased sales volumes of non-U.S. countermeasure devices.
Overall, gross margin was 36.3% and 36.6% for the second fiscal quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. Gross profit was $181.4 million and $184.5 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Avionics & Controls segment gross margin was 36.9% and 37.8% for the second fiscal quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. Segment gross profit was $70.8 million compared to $73.7 million in the prior-year period. The decrease in segment gross profit was principally due to lower gross profit on communication systems of $3 million resulting from lower sales volumes of embedded communication intercept receivers and a $3 million decrease in gross profit on sales of avionics systems and control systems. These decreases were partially offset by a $3 million increase in interface technologies due mainly to increased sales volumes and incremental gross profit from the Gamesman acquisition.
Sensors & Systems segment gross margin was 38.2% and 37.3% for the second fiscal quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. Segment gross profit was $67.6 million compared to $68.9 million in the prior-year period. The decrease in gross profit was mainly due to lower sales volumes for connection technologies for industrial applications and lower aftermarket sales of advanced sensors. These decreases were partially offset by a $2 million increase in power systems gross profit reflecting improved product mix and cost reduction activities.
Advanced Materials segment gross margin was 32.9% compared to 33.6% for the prior-year period. Segment gross profit was $43.0 million compared to $42.0 million in the prior-year period. The increase in segment gross profit was principally due to higher sales volumes of engineered materials for defense applications.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (which include corporate expenses) totaled $98.3 million, or 19.7% of sales, and $99.0 million, or 19.6% of sales, for the second fiscal quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Research, development and engineering spending was $25.7 million, or 5.1% of sales, for the second fiscal quarter of 2013 compared with $29.5 million, or 5.9% of sales, for the second fiscal quarter of 2012. The decrease in research, development and engineering spending principally reflects lower spending on avionics systems. Fiscal year 2013 research, development and engineering spending is expected to be in the range of approximately 5% to 5.25% of sales.
Segment earnings (operating earnings excluding corporate expenses and other income or expense) for the second fiscal quarter of 2013 totaled $73.3 million, or 14.7% of sales, compared with $69.1 million, or 13.7% of sales, for the second fiscal quarter of 2012.
Avionics & Controls segment earnings were $21.5 million, or 11.2% of sales, in the second fiscal quarter of 2013 and $18.3 million, or 9.4% of sales, in the second fiscal quarter of 2012, mainly reflecting a $7 million increase in avionics systems and partially offset by a $3 million decrease in communication systems. Avionics systems earnings benefited from lower spending on research, development and engineering and a $1 million reduction of our allowance for doubtful accounts for Hawker Beechcraft; the prior-year period earnings were impacted by $2.3 million in bad debt expense due to the bankruptcy of Hawker Beechcraft. Communication systems earnings were impacted by decreased gross profit on lower sales of embedded communication intercept receivers.
29
Sensors & Systems segment earnings were $23.2 million, or 13.1% of sales, for the second fiscal quarter of 2013 compared with $24.7 million, or 13.4% of sales, for the second fiscal quarter of 2012, principally reflecting weaker earnings from decreased sales of connection technologies for industrial applications of $3 million, partially offset by stronger earnings from sales of power systems.
Advanced Materials segment earnings were $28.6 million, or 21.9% of sales, for the second fiscal quarter of 2013 compared with $26.2 million, or 20.9% of sales, for the second fiscal quarter of 2012, primarily reflecting a $3 million decrease in operating losses on sales of non-U.S. countermeasure devices, mainly due to a $1.9 million reduction in an estimated liability due to an expected resolution for an asserted claim.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, management concluded that all contingencies relating to a dispute between CMC and a former parent company were resolved, and accordingly, we recorded a gain of approximately $11.9 million, or $9.5 million after tax.
Interest expense for the second fiscal quarter of 2013 and 2012 was $11.5 million.
In April 2013, we redeemed the 2017 Notes. In connection with the redemption, we wrote off $1.3 million in unamortized debt issuance costs to interest expense. As a result, we incurred a $3.9 million redemption premium, and terminated our $175.0 million in interest rate swap agreements covering the 2017 Notes, which generated a gain of $2.9 million. The redemption of the 2017 Notes resulted in a $0.9 million net loss on extinguishment of debt.
The income tax rate was 21.0% and 19.7% for the second fiscal quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. In the second fiscal quarter of 2012, we recognized $0.3 million of discrete tax expense associated with the accrual of interest on tax reserves. The income tax rate differed from the statutory rate in the second fiscal quarter of 2013 and 2012, as both years benefited from various tax credits and certain foreign interest expense deductions.
To the extent that sales are transacted in a currency other than the functional currency of the operating unit, we are subject to foreign currency fluctuation risk.
We use forward contracts to hedge our foreign currency exchange risk. To the extent that these contracts qualify as hedges under U.S. GAAP, the amount of gain or loss is deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) until the related sale occurs. Also, we are subject to foreign currency gains or losses from embedded derivatives on backlog denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of our operating companies or its customers. Gains and losses on forward contracts, embedded derivatives, and revaluation of assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company for the three month periods ended April 26, 2013, and April 27, 2012, are as follows:

The 2.1% decrease in sales of Avionics & Controls reflected decreased sales volumes of avionics systems of $12 million and communication systems of $9 million, partially offset by increased sales volumes of interface technologies. The decrease in avionics systems reflected mainly lower cockpit integration sales for retrofits of military transport aircraft and the T-6B. The decrease in communication systems principally reflected reduced sales of embedded communication intercept receivers. The $12 million increase in interface technologies mainly reflected increased sales for medical and gaming applications of which about 40% of the increase was due to the acquisition of Gamesman.
The 2.1% decrease in sales of Sensors & Systems principally reflected similarly reduced sales volumes of advanced sensors and connection technologies totaling $12 million, partially offset by increased sales volumes of power systems. The decrease in advanced sensors was mainly due to lower aftermarket sales and the decrease in connection technologies was due to reduced demand for industrial applications.
The 1.1% decrease in sales of Advanced Materials principally reflected decreased sales volumes of engineered materials for commercial aviation of $3 million.
Overall, gross margin as a percentage of sales was 35.7% and 35.1% for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Gross profit was $341.7 million and $342.6 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Avionics & Controls segment gross margin was 36.7% and 38.3% for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Segment gross profit was $134.7 million compared to $143.4 million in the prior-year period, reflecting a $12 million decrease on gross profit from sales of avionics systems and communication systems, partially offset by a $3 million increase in control systems and interface technologies. Gross profit on avionics systems decreased $7 million mainly due to lower sales volumes for retrofits for military transport aircraft, the T-6B military trainer cockpit and avionics products for defense applications, as well as a lower recovery of fixed overhead costs due to decreased sales. The decrease in gross profit on communication systems was due to lower demand for embedded communication intercept receivers.
Sensors & Systems segment gross margin was 37.4% and 33.0% for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Segment gross profit was $130.3 million compared to $117.7 million in the prior-year period. The increase in gross profit was mainly due to increased gross profit for connection technologies of $12 million. The prior-year period gross profit of connection technologies was impacted by a $12 million charge due to recording Souriaus acquired inventory at its fair value.
Advanced Materials segment gross margin was 31.7% for the first six months of fiscal 2013 compared to 33.3% for the same period one year ago. Segment gross profit was $76.8 million compared to $81.5 million in the prior-year period. The decrease in segment gross profit was principally due to a $2 million reduction in gross profit on decreased sales of elastomer materials for commercial aviation. The decrease in gross profit on sales of defense technologies was due to lower sales and production inefficiencies of flare countermeasures.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (which include corporate expenses) totaled $196.9 million, or 20.6% of sales, and $193.6 million, or 19.8% of sales, for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. The
31
$3.2 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses reflects a $6.4 million increase in corporate expense and a reduction in Avionics & Controls. The increase in corporate expense was due to professional fees for regulatory compliance, the cost of opening a corporate office in France and acquisition expenses. The decrease in Avionics & Controls reflected a $1 million reduction of our allowance for doubtful accounts for Hawker Beechcraft; in addition, the prior-year period reflected bad debt expense of $2.3 million due to the bankruptcy of Hawker Beechcraft.
Research, development and engineering spending was $48.7 million, or 5.1% of sales, for the first six months of fiscal 2013 compared with $55.9 million, or 5.7% of sales, for the first six months of fiscal 2012. The decrease in research, development and engineering spending principally reflects lower spending on avionics systems. Fiscal 2013 research, development and engineering spending is expected to be in the range of approximately 5% to 5.25% of sales.
Segment earnings (operating earnings excluding corporate expenses and other income or expense) for the first six months of fiscal 2013 totaled $128.5 million, or 13.4% of sales, compared with $119.1 million, or 12.2% of sales, for the first six months in fiscal 2012.
Avionics & Controls segment earnings were $40.1 million, or 10.9% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2013 and $38.3 million, or 10.2% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2012, mainly reflecting a $2 million increase in control systems and a $4 million increase in avionics systems, offset by a comparable decrease in communication systems. Avionics systems earnings in the first six months of fiscal 2013 were impacted by decreased gross profit and benefited from lower spending on research, development and engineering of $7 million; prior year earnings were impacted by $2.3 million in bad debt expense due to the bankruptcy filing of Hawker Beechcraft. Communication systems earnings were mainly impacted by decreased gross profit on lower sales of embedded communication intercept receivers.
Sensors & Systems segment earnings were $42.2 million, or 12.1% of sales, for the first six months of fiscal 2013 compared with $31.5 million, or 8.8% of sales, for the first six months of fiscal 2012, principally reflecting the $12.0 million inventory charge due to recording Souriaus acquired inventory at its fair value. Sensors & Systems also benefited by strong earnings from increased gross margin of power systems of $3 million, partially offset by weaker earnings from decreased sales of advanced sensors for the aftermarket.
Advanced Materials segment earnings were $46.3 million, or 19.1% of sales, for the first six months of fiscal 2013 compared with $49.2 million, or 20.1% of sales, for the first six months of fiscal 2012, primarily reflecting decreased gross profit on lower sales of engineered materials for commercial aviation applications.
Interest expense for the first six months of fiscal 2013 was $21.9 million compared with $23.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 2012, reflecting lower borrowings.
The income tax rate was 16.2% and 16.7% for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. In the first six months of 2013, we recognized $3.6 million of discrete tax benefits principally related to the following items. The first item was approximately $1.5 million of tax benefits due to the retroactive extension of the U.S. federal research and experimentation credits. The second item was approximately $2.3 million of tax benefits related to the settlement of U.S. and foreign tax examinations. In the first six months of 2012, we recognized $2.3 million in discrete tax benefits due to a change in French tax laws associated with the holding company structure and the financing of the Souriau acquisition. The income tax rate differed from the statutory rate in the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, as both years benefited from various tax credits and certain foreign interest expense deductions.
It is anticipated that during the third fiscal quarter of 2013, a tax benefit of approximately $4.1 million will be recorded to account for the reduction of net deferred tax liabilities as a result of the proposed enactment of tax laws reducing the U.K. statutory income tax rate.
It is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months approximately $5.1 million of tax benefits associated with research and development tax credits, capital and operating losses that are currently unrecognized could be recognized as a result of settlement of examinations and/or the expiration of a statute of limitations.

To the extent that sales are transacted in a currency other than the functional currency of the operating unit, we are subject to foreign currency fluctuation risk. We use forward contracts to hedge our foreign currency exchange risk. To the extent that these contracts qualify as hedges under U.S. GAAP, the amount of gain or loss is deferred in AOCI until the related sale occurs. Also, we are subject to foreign currency gains or losses from embedded derivatives on backlog denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of our operating companies or its customers. Gains and losses on forward contracts, embedded derivatives, and revaluation of assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company for the six month periods ended April 26, 2013, and April 27, 2012, are as follows:

New orders for the first six months of fiscal 2013 were $967.7 million compared with $1.0 billion for the same period in 2012. Backlog was $1.3 billion at April 26, 2013, April 27, 2012, and at October 26, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents at April 26, 2013, totaled $169.2 million, an increase of $8.5 million from October 26, 2012. Net working capital increased to $644.8 million at April 26, 2013, from $639.3 million at October 26, 2012. Sources and uses of cash flows from operating activities principally consist of cash received from the sale of products and cash payments for material, labor and operating expenses. Cash flows provided by operating activities were $122.7 million and $85.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively, reflecting decreased income from operations and increased receipts from customers.
Cash flows used by investing activities were $65.1 million and $25.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Cash flows used by investing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2013 primarily reflected cash paid for capital expenditures and acquisitions. We purchased Gamesman for approximately $40.7 million, net of cash acquired. Cash flows used by investing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2012 primarily reflected cash paid for capital expenditures.
Cash flows used by financing activities were $46.8 million and $50.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Cash flows used by financing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2013 primarily reflected proceeds from our new credit facility of $175.0 million and repayment of long-term debt and credit facilities of $237.5 million. Cash flows used by financing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2012 primarily reflected repayment of long-term debt and credit facilities for $68.2 million.
We believe cash on hand and funds generated from operations are adequate to service operating cash requirements and capital expenditures through the next twelve months.
Capital expenditures, consisting of machinery, equipment and computers, are anticipated to be approximately $80 million during fiscal 2013, compared with $49.4 million expended in fiscal 2012.
Total debt at April 26, 2013, was $779.4 million and consisted of $250.0 million of 2020 Notes, $175.0 million of the U.S. Term Loan, $57.2 million (43.9 million) of the Euro Term Loan, $200.0 million in borrowings under our secured credit facility, $52.0 million of government refundable advances, $44.7 million under capital lease obligations and $0.5 million under our various foreign currency debt agreements and other debt agreements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive and financial officers evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of April 26, 2013. Based upon that evaluation, they concluded as of April 26, 2013, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. In addition, our principal executive and financial officers concluded as of April 26, 2013, that our disclosure controls and procedures are also effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During the time period covered by this report, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that adequate reserves for these liabilities have been made and that there is no litigation pending that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to U.S. export laws and regulations, such as the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), that generally restrict the export of defense products, technical data and defense services. We have filed voluntary disclosure reports concerning certain U.S. operating units that voluntarily reported certain technical violations of the ITAR to the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) of the U.S. Department of State. DDTC, through its Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance (DDTC Office of Compliance), enforces compliance with the ITAR through administrative charges for certain violations, including by imposition of civil monetary penalties and other administrative sanctions. On May 22, 2013, the DDTC Office of Compliance informed us that, considering the information they currently have concerning our overall history in handling ITAR-controlled transactions, including the substance of our prior voluntary disclosures, and other aspects of certain ITAR compliance errors, it intends to impose civil monetary fines and administrative sanctions. We are currently in discussions with the DDTC Office of Compliance to better understand and respond to its concerns. Resolution of this matter might take the form of a consent agreement that could require payment of a civil monetary fine and commit us to undertake additional remedial compliance measures and program monitoring. Because of the early stage of our discussions with DDTC, we cannot estimate a range of the potential civil monetary fines, administrative sanctions, or other financial obligations associated with remedial actions we might be required to take. Although management cannot be certain of the outcome, management does not believe the final resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
Item 5. Other Information
At our annual meeting of shareholders held on March 6, 2013, our shareholders approved the Esterline Technologies Corporation 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (2013 Plan).
The 2013 Plan will replace the Esterline Technologies Corporation 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (2004 Plan), which has been terminated as to new awards. Outstanding awards under the 2004 Plan will continue to be governed by the terms of the 2004 Plan. Shareholder approval of the 2013 Plan will provide flexibility to grant awards under the 2013 Plan that qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The 2013 Plan authorizes the issuance of 1,500,000 shares of common stock, plus up to an aggregate of 2,640,025 shares authorized for issuance under the 2004 Plan or the Esterline Technologies Corporation Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option Plan (together, Prior Plans) that may become available for issuance under the 2013 Plan to the extent such shares, as of the date of shareholder approval of the 2013 Plan, (a) have not been issued under the Prior Plans and are not subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plans or (b) are subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plans but subsequently cease to be subject to such awards (other than by reason of exercise or settlement of the awards in shares). The aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the 2013 Plan will be reduced by 1.9 shares for each share delivered in settlement of awards other than stock options or stock appreciation rights (SARs) and one share for each share delivered in settlement of stock options or SARs. Any shares that again become available for issuance under the 2013 Plan will be added back to the plan as 1.9 shares if such shares were subject to awards other than stock options or SARs and one share if such shares were subject to stock options or SARs.
Our Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the Board administers the 2013 Plan, although the Board may delegate concurrent administration of the 2013 Plan to different committees consisting of one or more members of the Board in accordance with the 2013 Plans terms. In addition, our Board or Compensation Committee may delegate granting authority to one or more officers of Esterline in accordance with the 2013 Plans terms.
35
Employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors are eligible to receive awards under the 2013 Plan. Awards may consist of stock options, SARs, stock awards, restricted stock, stock units, performance awards or other stock or cash-based awards. The 2013 Plan will expire on March 6, 2023, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the 2013 Plan.
The description of the 2013 Plan contained in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2013 Plan, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 25, 2013, as Annex A to Esterlines Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and is incorporated herein by reference.
