BASIS OF PRESENTATION

During the second quarter, Kaman Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively "the Company") announced an agreement to sell Kaman Industrial Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Distribution segment") to affiliates of Littlejohn & Co., LLC for $700.0 million in cash, subject to customary closing conditions and working capital adjustments. As a result of the agreement, the Distribution segment met "held for sale" criteria in the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2019. The Distribution segment's results of operations and the related cash flows from this business have been reclassified to earnings from discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and cash flows from discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, respectively, for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of the Distribution segment have been reclassified to assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 28, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The sale is expected to close during the third quarter of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions and the receipt of certain required consents and approvals. See Note 4, Discontinued Operations, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this report. Certain amounts in prior year financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be expected for the entire year.

The Company has a calendar year-end; however, its first three fiscal quarters follow a 13-week convention, with each quarter ending on a Friday. The second quarters for 2019 and 2018 ended on June 28, 2019, and June 29, 2018, respectively.
