Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

Six Months Ended April 2, 2016

(Unaudited)

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of results for the interim period have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months endedApril 2, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2015. All references to years in these financial statements are to fiscal years.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." This ASU is intended to change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and enhance convergence of the FASB’s and the International Accounting Standard Board’s (IASB) reporting requirements for discontinued operations. The provisions of this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this amendment in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Note 2 - Acquisition and Divestiture

In 2016, we acquired a 70% ownership in Linear Mold and Engineering, a Livonia, Michigan-based company specializing in metal additive manufacturing that provides engineering, manufacturing and production consulting services to customers across a wide range of industries, including aerospace, defense, energy and industrial. The purchase price, net of acquired cash, was $22,765 consisting of $11,016 in cash, issuance of a $1,280 unsecured note and assumption of $10,469 of debt. The acquisition also includes a redeemable noncontrolling interest in the remaining 30%, which is exercisable beginning three years from the date of acquisition. This acquisition is included in of our Aircraft Controls segment. The purchase price allocation is subject to adjustments as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the measurement period.

In 2015, we sold the Rochester, New York and Erie, Pennsylvania life sciences operations of our Medical Devices segment for $2,988 in cash.

Note 3 - Receivables

Receivables consist of:

	April 2, 2016			October 3, 2015

Less allowance for doubtful accounts	(3,985		)	(5,286		)
Receivables	$	703,022		$	698,419

We securitize certain trade receivables in transactions that are accounted for as secured borrowings (Securitization Program). We maintain a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables that are securitized. The retained interest, which is included in Receivables in the consolidated condensed balance sheets, is recorded at fair value, which approximates the total amount of the designated pool of accounts receivable. Refer to Note 6, Indebtedness, for additional disclosures related to the Securitization Program.

Note 4 - Inventories

Note 5 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:

	Aircraft Controls			Space and Defense Controls		Industrial Systems			Components		Medical Devices		Total
Balance at October 3, 2015	$	188,525		$	158,213	$	110,843		$	217,763	$	61,868	$	737,212

Goodwill at April 2, 2016, in our Medical Devices reporting unit, is net of a $38,200 accumulated impairment loss.

The components of intangible assets are as follows:

		April 2, 2016					October 3, 2015
	Weighted- Average Life (years)	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization
Customer-related	11	$	169,285	$	(113,787	)	$	171,779	$	(110,697	)
Program-related	19	69,801		(26,217		)	75,720		(27,463		)
Technology-related	9	70,804		(50,334		)	73,299		(49,723		)
Marketing-related	9	25,491		(17,039		)	25,997		(16,648		)

Intangible assets	12	$	340,220	$	(210,870	)	$	351,567	$	(207,844	)

Substantially all acquired intangible assets other than goodwill are being amortized. Customer-related intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships. Program-related intangible assets consist of long-term programs represented by current contracts and probable follow on work. Technology-related intangible assets primarily consist of technology, patents, intellectual property and software. Marketing-related intangible assets primarily consist of trademarks, trade names and non-compete agreements.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $5,485 and $11,296 for the three and six months endedApril 2, 2016 and $6,134 and $12,794 for the three and six months endedApril 4, 2015. Based on acquired intangible assets recorded at April 2, 2016, amortization is expected to be approximately $21,500 in 2016, $18,100 in 2017, $17,300 in 2018, $15,800 in 2019 and $14,000 in 2020.

Note 6 - Indebtedness

Short-term borrowings consist of:

	April 2, 2016		October 3, 2015
Lines of credit	$	90	$	83
Other short-term debt	1,280		—
Short-term borrowings	$	1,370	$	83

We maintain short-term line of credit facilities with banks throughout the world that are principally demand lines subject to revision by the banks.

Long-term debt consists of:

	April 2, 2016			October 3, 2015
U.S. revolving credit facility	$	702,865		$	675,000
Senior notes	300,000			300,000
Securitization program	100,000			100,000
Obligations under capital leases	911			101
Senior debt	1,103,776			1,075,101
Less current installments	(434		)	(34		)
Long-term debt	$	1,103,342		$	1,075,067

Our U.S. revolving credit facility has a capacity of $1,100,000 and matures on May 22, 2019. It also provides an expansion option, which permits us to request an increase of up to $200,000 to the credit facility upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets.

On November 21, 2014, we completed the sale of $300,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due December 1, 2022 at par with interest paid semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The aggregate net proceeds of $294,430 were used to repay indebtedness under our U.S. bank credit facility, thereby increasing the unused portion of our revolving credit facility.

The Securitization Program was extended on April 15, 2016 and matures on April 13, 2018 and increases our borrowing capacity to $120,000. Under the Securitization Program, we sell certain trade receivables and related rights to an affiliate, which in turn sells an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the trade receivables to a financial institution, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. Interest for the Securitization Program is based on 30-day LIBOR plus an applicable margin. A commitment fee is also charged based on a percentage of the unused amounts available and is not material. The agreement governing the Securitization Program contains restrictions and covenants which include limitations on the making of certain restricted payments, creation of certain liens, and certain corporate acts such as mergers, consolidations and sale of substantially all assets. The Securitization Program has a minimum borrowing requirement equal to the lesser of either 80% of our borrowing capacity or 100% of our borrowing base, which is a subset of the trade receivables sold under this agreement. As of April 2, 2016, our minimum borrowing requirement is $80,000.

10

Note 7 - Product Warranties

In the ordinary course of business, we warrant our products against defects in design, materials and workmanship typically over periods ranging from twelve to sixty months. We determine warranty reserves needed by product line based on historical experience and current facts and circumstances. Activity in the warranty accrual is summarized as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	April 2, 2016			April 4, 2015			April 2, 2016			April 4, 2015
Warranty accrual at beginning of period	$	19,391		$	18,326		$	18,660		$	19,953
Warranties issued during current year	2,925			2,234			5,343			3,699
Adjustments to pre-existing warranties	(215		)	(452		)	(349		)	(1,584		)
Reductions for settling warranties	(1,795		)	(1,918		)	(3,048		)	(3,156		)
Foreign currency translation	92			(572		)	(208		)	(1,294		)
Warranty accrual at end of period	$	20,398		$	17,618		$	20,398		$	17,618

Note 8 - Derivative Financial Instruments

We principally use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk associated with long-term debt and foreign exchange risk related to foreign operations and foreign currency transactions. We enter into derivative financial instruments with a number of major financial institutions to minimize counterparty credit risk.

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments

Interest rate swaps are used to adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable and fixed interest rates. The interest rate swaps are designated as hedges of the amount of future cash flows related to interest payments on variable-rate debt that, in combination with the interest payments on the debt, convert a portion of the variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. At April 2, 2016, we had interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $200,000. The interest rate swaps effectively convert this amount of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt at 2.64%, including the applicable margin of 1.88% as of April 2, 2016. The interest will revert back to variable rates based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin upon the maturity of the interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps mature at various times between June 6, 2016 and June 5, 2017.

We use foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges to effectively fix the exchange rates on future payments and revenue. To mitigate exposure in movements between various currencies, primarily the Philippine peso, we had outstanding foreign currency forwards with notional amounts of $50,569 at April 2, 2016. These contracts mature at various times through March 2, 2018.

These interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts are recorded in the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value and the related gains or losses are deferred in shareholders’ equity as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCI). These deferred gains and losses are reclassified into expense during the periods in which the related payments or receipts affect earnings. However, to the extent the interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts are not perfectly effective in offsetting the change in the value of the payments and revenue being hedged, the ineffective portion of these contracts is recognized in earnings immediately. Ineffectiveness was not material in the first six months of 2016 or 2015.

11

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

We also have foreign currency exposure on balances, primarily intercompany, that are denominated in foreign currencies and are adjusted to current values using period-end exchange rates. The resulting gains or losses are recorded in the consolidated condensed statements of earnings. To minimize foreign currency exposure, we had foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of $132,597 at April 2, 2016. The foreign currency contracts are recorded in the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value and resulting gains or losses are recorded in the consolidated condensed statements of earnings. We recorded the following gains or losses on foreign currency contracts which are included in other income or expense and generally offset the gains or losses from the foreign currency adjustments on the intercompany balances that are also included in other income or expense:

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	April 2, 2016		April 4, 2015			April 2, 2016		April 4, 2015
Net gain (loss)	$	3,069	$	(2,348	)	$	3,959	$	(1,415	)

Note 9 - Fair Value

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. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. The definition of the fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.

Level 3 – Inputs for which significant valuation assumptions are unobservable in a market and therefore value is based on the best available data, some of which is internally developed and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.

Our derivatives are valued using various pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses that incorporate observable market data, such as interest rate yield curves and currency rates, and are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. Our Level 3 fair value liabilities represent contingent consideration recorded for acquisitions to be paid if various financial targets are met. The amounts recorded were calculated for each payment scenario in each period using an estimate of the probability of the future cash outflows. The varying contingent payments were then discounted to the present value at the weighted average cost of capital. Fair value is assessed on a quarterly basis, or whenever events or circumstances change that indicates an adjustment is required. The assessment includes an evaluation of the performance of the acquired business compared to previous expectations, changes to future projections and the probability of achieving the earn out targets.

The following table presents the fair values and classification of our financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, all of which are classified as Level 2.

	Classification	April 2, 2016		October 3, 2015
Foreign currency contracts	Other current assets	$	2,008	$	127
Foreign currency contracts	Other assets	317		39
	Total assets	$	2,325	$	166
Foreign currency contracts	Other accrued liabilities	$	2,454	$	2,184
Foreign currency contracts	Other long-term liabilities	175		572
Interest rate swaps	Other accrued liabilities	383		756
Interest rate swaps	Other long-term liabilities	45		268
	Total liabilities	$	3,057	$	3,780

Our only financial instrument for which the carrying value differs from its fair value is long-term debt. At April 2, 2016, the fair value of long-term debt was $1,098,526 compared to its carrying value of $1,103,776. The fair value of long-term debt is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and was estimated based on quoted market prices.

Note 11 - Restructuring

In 2016, we initiated further restructuring actions in conjunction with exiting a product line within Aircraft Controls in the U.S. We have also taken actions as a result of the business outlook in specific markets and locations in Components and Industrial Systems that resulted in workforce reductions in Canada, Europe and the U.S. The expense for all of these actions consists of $4,581 of non-cash charges, primarily for writing off intangible assets, $3,281 for severance and $480 for facility closure.

In 2015, we initiated additional restructuring plans as a result of ongoing reviews of our lines of business and operations. The restructuring actions taken resulted in workforce reductions, primarily in the U.S., Europe and Asia.

In 2014, we initiated restructuring plans in response to the business outlook, which includes a change in the mix of sales and delays and cancellations of orders for certain product lines. The restructuring actions taken resulted in workforce reductions, primarily in the U.S. and Europe.

Restructuring activity for severance and other costs by segment is as follows:

	Aircraft Controls			Space and Defense Controls			Industrial Systems			Components			Medical Devices			Total
Balance at October 3, 2015	$	3,047		$	7,237		$	4,003		$	117		$	142		$	14,546

As of April 2, 2016, the restructuring accrual consists of $1,013 for the 2014 plan, $3,035 for the 2015 plan and $1,976 for the 2016 plan. Restructuring for all plans is expected to be paid by October 1, 2016, except portions classified as long-term liabilities based on payment arrangements.

Note 12 - Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three and six months endedApril 2, 2016 were 23.9% and 25.2%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months endedApril 4, 2015 were 22.5% and 25.8%, respectively. The effective tax rates for these periods are lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to a significant portion of our earnings that come from foreign operations with lower tax rates and the recognition and timing of U.S. research and development tax credits. In addition, we also benefited from the reversal of accruals for certain tax exposures outside the U.S. whose statutes of limitations expired during these periods.

Note 14 - Stock Employee Compensation Trust and Supplemental Retirement Plan Trust

The Stock Employee Compensation Trust (SECT) assists in administering and provides funding for equity-based compensation plans and benefit programs, including the Moog Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (RSP). The Supplemental Retirement Plan (SERP) Trust provides funding for benefits under the Moog Inc. SERP. Both the SECT and the SERP Trust hold shares as investments. The shares in the SECT and SERP Trust are not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings per share. However, in accordance with the trust agreements governing the SECT and SERP Trust, the trustees vote all shares held by the SECT and SERP Trust on all matters submitted to shareholders.

Note 15 - Earnings per Share

Basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding are as follows:

	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	April 2, 2016	April 4, 2015	April 2, 2016	April 4, 2015
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	36,481,996	39,601,795	36,597,972	40,116,731

Note 16 - Segment Information

During 2015, we made a change to our segment reporting. Our Components segment now includes our sensors and handpieces product line, which we previously included in the Medical Devices segment. This product line consists of manufactured ultrasonic and optical sensors as well as surgical handpieces distributed to medical OEMs. Since the customer base is different from the sale of medical pumps directly to end users, the chief operating decision maker is now reviewing performance and assessing the allocation of resources of this product line as part of the Components segment. All historical amounts have been restated to conform to this new organization.

Below are sales and operating profit by segment for the three and six months endedApril 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 and a reconciliation of segment operating profit to earnings before income taxes. Operating profit is net sales less cost of sales and other operating expenses, excluding interest expense, equity-based compensation expense and other corporate expenses. Cost of sales and other operating expenses are directly identifiable to the respective segment or allocated on the basis of sales, number of employees or profit.

Note 17 - Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings. We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings which management believes will result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We are engaged in administrative proceedings with governmental agencies and legal proceedings with governmental agencies and other third parties in the normal course of our business, including litigation under Superfund laws, regarding environmental matters. We believe that adequate reserves have been established for our share of the estimated cost for all currently pending environmental administrative or legal proceedings and do not expect that these environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In the ordinary course of business we could be subject to ongoing claims or disputes from our customers, the ultimate settlement of which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations. While the receivables and any loss provisions recorded to date reflect management's best estimate of the projected costs to complete a given project, there is still significant effort required to complete the ultimate deliverable. Future variability in internal cost and as well as future profitability is dependent upon a number of factors including deliveries, performance and government budgetary pressures. The inability to achieve a satisfactory contractual solution, further unplanned delays, additional developmental cost growth or variations in any of the estimates used in the existing contract analysis could lead to further loss provisions. Additional losses could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the period in which the loss may be recognized.

We are contingently liable for $18,494 of standby letters of credit issued by a bank to third parties on our behalf at April 2, 2016.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2015. All references to years in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are to fiscal years and amounts may differ from reported values due to rounding.

OVERVIEW

We are a worldwide designer, manufacturer and systems integrator of high performance precision motion and fluid controls and control systems for a broad range of applications in aerospace and defense and industrial markets.

Within the aerospace and defense market, our products and systems include:

• Defense market - primary and secondary flight controls for military aircraft, stabilization and automatic ammunition loading controls for armored combat vehicles, tactical and strategic missile steering controls and gun aiming controls.

• Commercial aircraft market - primary and secondary flight controls for commercial aircraft.

• Commercial space market - satellite positioning controls and thrust vector controls for launch vehicles.

In the industrial market, our products are used in a wide range of applications including:

• Industrial automation market - injection molding, metal forming, heavy industry, material and automotive testing, pilot training simulators and surveillance systems.

• Energy market - oil and gas exploration, wind energy and power generation.

• Medical market - sleep apnea devices, surgical handpieces, CT scanners, as well as enteral clinical nutrition and infusion therapy solutions.

We operate under five segments, Aircraft Controls, Space and Defense Controls, Industrial Systems, Components and Medical Devices. Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, United Kingdom, Philippines, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, China, Costa Rica, Japan, Luxembourg, India, Canada and Ireland.

We have long-term contracts with some of our customers. These contracts are predominantly within Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls and represent 33%, 34% and 33% of our sales in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We recognize revenue on these contracts using the percentage of completion, cost-to-cost method of accounting as work progresses toward completion. The remainder of our sales are recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership and title to the product are transferred to the customer, principally as units are delivered or as service obligations are satisfied. This method of revenue recognition is predominantly used within the Industrial Systems, Components and Medical Devices segments, as well as with aftermarket activity.

We concentrate on providing our customers with products designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards. Our products are applied in demanding applications, "When Performance Really Matters^®." We believe we have achieved a leadership position in the high performance, precision controls market, by capitalizing on our strengths, which include:

• superior technical competence in delivering mission-critical solutions,

• an innovative customer-intimacy approach,

• a diverse base of customers and end markets served by a broad product portfolio,

• well-established international presence serving customers worldwide, and

• a proven ability to successfully undertake investments designed to enhance our control systems product franchise and drive continued growth.

These strengths have afforded us the ability to expand our current solutions into new, complimentary technologies, which provide us with the opportunity to develop our product scope supply from one market to another and from component to systems supplier, as well as achieve substantial content positions on the platforms on which we currently participate. As we seek to be the dominant supplier in the current niche markets we serve, we will also look for innovation in all aspects of our business, employing new technologies to improve productivity and to develop progressive business models.

21

Our financial objectives include increasing our revenue base and improving our long term profitability and cash flow from operations while continuously focusing on internal cost improvement initiatives. In doing so, we expect to maintain a balanced, diversified portfolio in terms of markets served, product applications, customer base and geographic presence. Our fundamental strategies to achieve our objectives include:

• maintaining our technological excellence by building upon our systems integration capabilities while solving our customers’ most demanding technical problems in applications "When Performance Really Matters^®,"

• utilizing our global capabilities and strong engineering heritage to innovate new solutions,

• maximizing customer value by implementing lean enterprise principles, and

• investing in talent development to accelerate our leadership capability and employee performance.

We focus on improving shareholder value through strategic revenue growth, both acquired and organic, through improving operating efficiencies and manufacturing initiatives and through utilizing low cost manufacturing facilities without compromising quality. Additionally, we take a balanced approach to capital deployment, which may include strategic acquisitions or further share buyback activity in order to maximize shareholder returns over the long-term. We face numerous challenges to improving shareholder value. These include, but are not limited to, adjusting to dynamic global economic conditions that are influenced by governmental, industrial and commercial factors, pricing pressures from customers, strong competition, foreign currency fluctuations and increases in employee benefit costs. Based on periodic strategy reviews, including the financial outlook of our business, we may also engage in restructuring activities, including reducing overhead, consolidating facilities, exiting some product lines and divesting operations.

Acquisition and Divestiture

All of our acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method and, accordingly, the operating results for the acquired companies are included in the consolidated statements of earnings from the respective dates of acquisition. Under purchase accounting, we record assets and liabilities at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. The purchase price described for each acquisition below is net of any cash acquired and includes debt issued or assumed.

In 2016, we acquired a 70% ownership in Linear Mold and Engineering, a Livonia, Michigan-based company specializing in metal additive manufacturing that provides engineering, manufacturing and production consulting services to customers across a wide range of industries, including aerospace, defense, energy and industrial. We acquired Linear Mold and Engineering for $23 million. The acquisition also includes a redeemable noncontrolling interest in the remaining 30%, which is exercisable beginning three years from the date of acquisition. This acquisition is included in of our Aircraft Controls segment.

In 2015, we sold the Rochester, New York and Erie, Pennsylvania life sciences operations of our Medical Devices segment for $3 million.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

On a regular basis, we evaluate the critical accounting policies used to prepare our consolidated financial statements, including, but not limited to, revenue recognition on long-term contracts, contract loss reserves, reserves for inventory valuation, reviews for impairment of goodwill, purchase price allocations for business combinations, pension assumptions and deferred tax asset valuation allowances.

There have been no material changes in critical accounting policies in the current year from those disclosed in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. However, we have expanded our disclosure for reviews for impairment of goodwill. The disclosure below includes key assumptions and circumstances that, if changed, could negatively impact our assessment of goodwill in reporting units for which the fair value is not significantly in excess of carrying value.

22

Reviews for Impairment of Goodwill

We performed an interim test on goodwill for impairment for our Medical Devices reporting unit in the fourth quarter of 2015. This reporting unit had $62 million of goodwill at October 3, 2015. The fair value of the Medical Devices reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount by 18%. Had we used a discount rate that was 100 basis points higher or a terminal growth rate that was 100 basis points lower than those we assumed, the fair value of this reporting unit would have exceeded its carrying amount by 4% and 10%, respectively.

The primary factor causing the fair value of this reporting unit to not be substantially greater than the carrying value is that the Medical Devices segment was created through a series of acquisitions between 2006 and 2009. The creation of this reporting unit resulted in recording substantial goodwill, which increased the carrying value. The key assumptions that drive the estimated fair value are the projected revenue and operating margins, which are used to project future cash flows. Our expectation for this reporting unit is for revenue growth over the five year projection period to be driven by the overall market growth of the home healthcare segment of the infusion therapy market and by capturing market share due to new product offerings. Additionally, our expectation is that operating margins improve throughout the five year projection period, driven by improved sales, as well as continued cost containment activities. If cash flows generated by our Medical Devices reporting unit were to decline in the future, or if there were adverse revisions to key assumptions, we may be required to record impairment charges. There are specific circumstances that would pose risk to the fair value of this reporting unit. Lower than projected growth rates of the home healthcare segment of the infusion therapy market, changes in provider capital purchase cycles, changes in healthcare legislation, changes in private insurance plans, as well as changes in treatment therapies may negatively affect the fair value of this reporting unit. Also, our projected market share capture rates may be lower due to delayed or unsuccessful new product offerings, which would negatively affect the fair value of this reporting unit. In addition, the fair value of this reporting unit may be negatively impacted based on the results of strategic reviews and courses of action that we may decide to pursue.

Net sales decreased in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015 driven by a $21 million decline in our Components segment. Weaker foreign currencies, in particular the British Pound, the Brazilian Real and the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar, contributed 29% of the sales decline in the second quarter of 2016.

Net sales decreased in the first half of 2016 compared to the first half of 2015. Our Components and Space and Defense segments contributed 80% of the sales decline. Weaker foreign currencies, in particular the Euro and the British Pound relative to the U.S. dollar, contributed 27% of the sales decline in the first half of 2016.

Gross margin increased in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015. In the second quarter of 2016, we benefited from the absence of last year's $7 million correction of an out-of-period accounting error in our Space and Defense Controls segment. Additionally, we had an improved sales mix from higher amounts of foreign military sales in Aircraft Controls and from higher sales volumes in Medical Devices. The improvements were partly offset by an adverse sales mix in both Components and in Industrial Systems due to lower energy related sales.

Research and development expenses increased in the second quarter and the first half of 2016 compared to the same periods of 2015. Within Aircraft Controls, research and development expenses increased $9 million and $14 million, respectively. In both the second quarter and first half of 2016, we had higher activity on the Embraer E-2 and the Airbus A350 programs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased in the second quarter and in the first half of 2016 compared to the same periods of 2015. Most of the decline is attributable to an on-going focus on expense reduction across our segments. Additionally, we benefited from our 2015 restructuring activities.

In 2015, we incurred $15 million of restructuring expenses, primarily in Industrial Systems, Space and Defense Controls and Aircraft Controls. Through the first half of 2016, the total savings were $10 million, or 46% of our projected benefits for the year, and were primarily in selling, general and administrative expenses. In the second quarter of 2016, we incurred $8 million of restructuring expenses, primarily related to exiting a product line in Aircraft Controls. We expect the restructuring activities from the second quarter of 2016 will result in $11 million of cost savings over the next four quarters.

In the first half of 2016 compared to the first half of 2015, interest expense increased $2 million due to higher interest rates following the issuance of our $300 million senior notes. Additionally, interest expense increased $2 million due to higher levels of debt attributable to the funding of our share repurchase program.

26

In comparison to the U.S. statutory tax rate, our effective tax rates in 2016 and 2015 differ as a result of earnings being taxed in foreign jurisdictions with lower statutory tax rates. Additionally, our effective tax rates reflect the reversal of accruals for certain tax exposures outside of the U.S. whose statutes of limitations have expired, as well as the timing of enactment of the U.S. research and development tax credit.

Average common shares outstanding decreased in the second quarter and in the first half of 2016 compared to the same periods of 2015 due to our share buyback program. Since the Board of Directors amended the program in January 2014, we have repurchased nine million shares, and have four million additional shares available for repurchase under this program.

Other comprehensive income increased in the second quarter and in the first half of 2016 compared to same periods of 2015 due to foreign currency translation adjustments. In total, other comprehensive income related to the translation of the Euro and the Canadian Dollar increased $50 million in the second quarter and $58 million in the first half of 2016 compared to the same periods a year ago.

2016 Outlook – We expect sales in 2016 to decrease 2% from fiscal 2015 to $2.47 billion. We expect sales declines in Components and Industrial Systems, as they are negatively impacted by global macro-economic conditions, particularly in our energy market and in our industrial market. Partly offsetting the declines is growth in Aircraft Controls as the Airbus A350 program continues to ramp up. We expect operating margin to decrease slightly to 9.6%. The benefits of our 2015 and 2016 cost containment strategies will drive margin expansion; however, the improvement will be offset by unfavorable sales mix in Aircraft Controls and Components. We expect net earnings attributable to common shareholders will decrease 7% to $123 million. Average diluted shares outstanding will decrease 6% to 37 million due to shares already repurchased under our current share buyback program. We expect diluted earnings per share will range between $3.20 and $3.50, with a midpoint of $3.35, which would be unchanged from 2015.

27

SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND OUTLOOK

During 2015, we made a change to our segment reporting. Our Components segment now includes our sensors and handpieces product line, which we previously included in the Medical Devices segment. This product line consists of manufactured ultrasonic and optical sensors as well as surgical handpieces distributed to medical OEMs. Since the customer base is different from the sale of medical pumps directly to end users, the chief operating decision maker is now reviewing performance and assessing the allocation of resources of this product line as part of the Components segment. Sales of sensors and handpieces were $25 million in 2015. All amounts have been restated to present sensors and handpieces within Components.

Operating profit, as presented below, is net sales less cost of sales and other operating expenses, excluding interest expense, equity-based compensation expense and other corporate expenses. Cost of sales and other operating expenses are directly identifiable to the respective segment or allocated on the basis of sales, number of employees or profit. Operating profit is reconciled to earnings before income taxes in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this report.

Aircraft Controls' net sales were comparable in the second quarters of 2016 and 2015; however, net sales decreased in the first half of 2016 compared to the first half of 2015.

In the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015, commercial OEM sales to Airbus increased $8 million, due to the ramp up of the A350 program. This increase was partially offset by $3 million of lower sales to Boeing and $3 million of lower business jet sales. Also, sales in military aircraft decreased. Sales decreased $5 million due to lower volumes for the V-22 program and decreased $3 million due to slowdowns in various aftermarket programs. However, sales for foreign military aircraft increased $6 million compared to the prior year's quarter.

In the first half of 2016 compared to the first half of 2015, military aircraft sales decreased. The V-22 program decreased $10 million and various aftermarket programs decreased, in aggregate, $5 million. These declines were partially offset by $4 million of higher sales for foreign military aircraft. Additionally, sales in our commercial market decreased as Boeing and business jet programs each decreased $5 million. However, sales to Airbus increased $10 million, driven by higher A350 program sales.

Operating margin for the second quarter and for the first half of 2016 declined compared to the second quarter and the first half of 2015. Research and development expenses increased $9 million and $14 million, respectively, largely associated with the ramp up of the Embraer E-2 and Airbus A350 programs. Additionally, we incurred $6 million of restructuring charges related to exiting a product line in the second quarter of 2016. We expect these actions will provide an aggregate benefit of $5 million over the next four quarters. However, an improved sales mix due to higher amounts of foreign military sales and lower operating costs partially offset the margin pressures. The operating profit in the first half of 2016 also included $2 million of benefits from restructuring activities in 2015. The year-to-date savings of last year's restructuring activities are approximately half of our total expected annual benefits. Our expected annual benefits are approximately 80% of our original annual expected benefits as we have revised our workforce planning.

The decrease of twelve-month backlog for Aircraft Controls at April 2, 2016 compared to April 4, 2015 is primarily due to the timing of certain commercial orders as well as work completed on military programs.

28

2016 Outlook for Aircraft Controls– We expect sales in Aircraft Controls to increase 4% to $1.13 billion in 2016. Commercial OEM aircraft sales are expected to increase 11%, due primarily to the continued ramp up of the Airbus A350 program. We expect that commercial aftermarket sales will continue to decline due to the lower levels of Boeing 787 initial provisioning sales. We expect military sales will decline 2% in 2016, as lower V-22 and military aftermarket sales offset higher F-35 production sales. We expect our operating margin will decrease to 8.5% in 2016 from 9.2% in 2015. Our operating margin will be negatively affected by our second quarter restructuring expenses, as well as continued unfavorable sales mix associated with lower amounts of military and commercial aftermarket sales. Additionally, our research and development costs will increase due to the continued spend on the A350 and the Embraer E-2 programs. However, we expect that lower costs, including the benefits from both of our recent restructuring actions, will offset some of the margin pressures.

Backlog												$	254		$	238		$	16		7	%

Space and Defense Controls' net sales decreased in the second quarter and in the first half of 2016 compared to the same periods of 2015 due to declines in our space market.

Sales in our space market decreased $6 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015, due primarily to the completion of prior year satellite contracts. Higher sales for military vehicles increased our defense market sales $2 million.

For the first half of 2016 compared to the first half of 2015, sales in our space market decreased $19 million, due primarily to satellite and launch vehicle contracts winding down. Within our defense market, sales decreased $3 million due to lower sales volumes on missile systems and security products, partially offset by higher defense controls sales for military vehicles.

Operating margin increased in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015. Contributing to the increase was the absence of an $8 million out-of-period adjustment to correct an accounting error in the second quarter of 2015. Additionally, operating margin increased as we had lower operating expenses in 2016 due to various cost containment activities. Partly offsetting the increases was a decline in operating margin due to the lower sales volumes.

Operating margin increased in the first half of 2016 compared to the first half of 2015, primarily due to the absence of last year's out-of-period adjustment as well as the absence of an inventory obsolescence charge. Additionally, we benefited from an improved sales mix in 2016. The operating profit in the first half of 2016 also included $3 million of benefits from restructuring activities in 2015. These year-to-date savings are approximately 60% of our original total expected annual benefits and are in line with our expectations.

The higher level of twelve-month backlog for Space and Defense Controls at April 2, 2016 compared to April 4, 2015 is due to higher orders in launch vehicles and naval programs.

2016 Outlook for Space and Defense Controls –We expect sales in Space and Defense Controls to decrease 2% to $375 million in 2016. We expect sales declines in our space market as sales for satellite programs are lower. Partially offsetting the declines are expected increases in our defense market, driven by increased naval sales. We expect our operating margin will increase to 12.7% in 2016 from 8.7% in 2015 as the 2015 accounting correction does not repeat and as we benefit from our 2015 restructuring actions.

Industrial Systems' net sales decreased slightly in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015. Weaker foreign currencies, in particular the Brazilian Real relative to the U.S. dollar, resulted in $3 million of the sales decline. Excluding the currency effects, sales increased $3 million due to higher sales volumes to flight simulation customers.

Industrial Systems' net sales decreased in the first half of 2016 compared to the first half of 2015. Weaker foreign currencies, in particular the Euro and the Brazilian Real relative to the U.S. dollar, resulted in a $14 million sales decline. Excluding the currency effects, Industrial Systems' sales increased $5 million, as simulation programs increased $10 million, but were partially offset by $3 million of lower energy sales and $2 million of lower industrial automation sales. Simulation programs increased due to higher sales volumes to flight simulation customers. Sales in our energy market decreased due to the continued unfavorable macro-economic conditions related to the significant decline in the price of crude oil. Additionally, sales decreased in our industrial automation market due to the continuing economic weakness in our markets resulting in lower demand for our products.

Operating margin increased in both the second quarter and the first half of 2016 compared to the same periods of 2015. Operating profit included $2 million and $3 million, respectively, of benefits from our 2015 restructuring activities. These year-to-date savings are approximately 45% of our original total expected annual benefits and are in line with our expectations. Partly offsetting the operating margin improvements was an unfavorable sales mix in our energy and industrial automation markets in the first half of 2016 compared to the first half of 2015. We also incurred $1 million of additional restructuring expense in the second quarter of 2016.

The lower level of twelve-month backlog in Industrial Systems at April 2, 2016 compared to April 4, 2015 is due the completion of simulation orders as well as lower energy orders related to the decline in the energy market.

2016 Outlook for Industrial Systems –We expect sales in Industrial Systems to decrease 5% to $495 million in 2016. We expect that the impacts of the weaker foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, as well as the evolving global economic conditions, will continue to reduce our sales. We expect our operating margin will increase to 9.2% in 2016 from 8.6% in 2015, as we benefit from both our recent restructuring actions and our cost containment actions.

Components' net sales decreased across all of our markets in the second quarter and in the first half of 2016 compared to the same periods of 2015.

Within our non-aerospace and defense market, sales decreased $15 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $36 million in the first half of 2016 compared to the same periods of 2015. Sales in our energy market declined $10 million and $20 million, respectively, due to the macro-economic conditions centered around the significant decline in the price of crude oil and the resulting lower demand for our marine products. Additionally, sales declined $3 million and $9 million, respectively, in our medical market due in part to a lower price point for a key customer's next generation sleep apnea product that we will continue to support. Also, sales declined $3 million and $7 million, respectively, in our industrial market due to unfavorable macro-economic industrial conditions. Within our aerospace and defense market, sales decreased $6 million and $13 million, respectively, due primarily to lower amounts of aftermarket sales.

Operating margin declined in the second quarter and in the first half of 2016 compared to the same periods of 2015. The decreases are due, in part, to lower demand for our marine energy products resulting from the significant decline in the price of crude oil. Operating margin in the first half of 2016 was also negatively affected by lower sales in our medical market and unfavorable timing of sales in our military market. Additionally, we incurred $1 million of restructuring expense in the second quarter of 2016.

The twelve-month backlog at April 2, 2016 declined compared to the level at April 4, 2015 due to reduced orders for our aircraft, marine energy and industrial products.

2016 Outlook for Components – We expect sales to decrease 17% to $365 million in 2016 due to continued declines in our energy, medical and industrial markets. Partially offsetting these declines is expected growth in our space and defense market, driven by improved defense vehicle sales. We expect our operating margin will decrease to 10.0% in 2016 from 13.4% in 2015. We will continue to be negatively impacted by macro-economic conditions reducing the demand for products in our energy and industrial markets in 2016.

Medical Devices' net sales in the second quarter and first half of 2016 were negatively affected by lost sales from operations sold in 2015. These operations contributed $2 million of sales in the second quarter of 2015 and $3 million of sales in the first half of 2015.

In the first half of 2016 compared to the first half of 2015, sales for IV products increased $3 million, due to higher shipments of IV pumps, as we continued the replacement of competitors' older products in the U.S. home healthcare market. Enteral sales also increased $2 million, due to higher sales volumes of enteral pumps.

Operating margin in the second quarter and in the first half of 2016 increased compared to the second quarter and the first half of 2015 due to the absence of last year's $1 million loss on the sale of two small operations. In addition, we benefited from higher sales volumes, primarily for our IV products, a more favorable sales mix across both of our IV and enteral products and lower material costs.

Twelve-month backlog for Medical Devices is not as substantial relative to sales as compared to our other segments, reflecting the shorter order-to-shipment cycle for this line of business.

2016 Outlook for Medical Devices – We expect sales to increase slightly to $102 million in 2016. We expect that sales will increase due to improved enteral and IV product sales. However, this growth will be offset by a reduction related to the operations we sold in 2015. We expect our operating margin will increase to 11.4% in 2016 from 8.7% in 2015 as we continue to benefit from an improved cost structure and incremental margin contribution from higher sales volumes.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

	Six Months Ended
(dollars in millions)	April 2, 2016			April 4, 2015			$ Variance			% Variance
Net cash provided (used) by:
Operating activities	$	78		$	132		$	(53	)	(40	%)
Investing activities	(38		)	(34		)	(3		)	10	%
Financing activities	(5		)	(46		)	41			(89	%)

Our available borrowing capacity and our cash flow from operations provide us with the financial resources needed to run our operations, reinvest in our business and make strategic acquisitions.

At April 2, 2016, our cash balance was $348 million, which is primarily held outside of the U.S. Cash flow from our U.S. operations, together with borrowings on our credit facility, fund on-going activities, debt service requirements and future growth investments. We reinvest the cash generated from foreign operations locally and such international balances are not available to pay down debt in the U.S. unless we decide to repatriate such amounts. If we determined repatriation of foreign funds was necessary, we would then be required to pay U.S. income taxes on those funds.

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased in the first half of 2016 compared to the same period of 2015. Unfavorable timing of payments and collections across our segments used $58 million more of cash compared to a year ago. Additionally, we made $8 million more in pension contributions. Partially offsetting the increases in these uses of cash was $14 million more of cash provided by customer advances, primarily in Aircraft Controls.

Investing activities

Net cash used by investing activities in the first half of 2016 included $28 million for capital expenditures and $11 million as partial payment for the Linear acquisition. Net cash used by investing activities in the first half of 2015 included $38 million for capital expenditures.

We expect our 2016 capital expenditures to be approximately $80 million, as we support major program-related tooling and test equipment expenditures, primarily in commercial aircraft.

Financing activities

In the six months ending April 2, 2016, we repurchased 0.5 million shares through our stock repurchase program for $22 million, which was funded by our credit facility.

In the first six months ending April 4, 2015, we repurchased 2.6 million shares through our stock repurchase program for $186 million, which was funded by our credit facility as well as cash from operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any material off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

Our contractual obligations and commercial commitments have not changed materially from the disclosures in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

34

CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND RESOURCES

We maintain bank credit facilities to fund our short and long-term capital requirements, including for acquisitions. From time to time, we also sell debt and equity securities to fund acquisitions or take advantage of favorable market conditions.

On November 21, 2014, we completed the sale of $300 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due December 1, 2022 at par with interest paid semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The senior notes are unsecured obligations, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain subsidiaries and contain normal incurrence-based covenants and limitations such as the ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make other restricted payments and investments, create liens and certain corporate acts such as mergers and consolidations. The aggregate net proceeds of $294 million were used to repay indebtedness under our U.S. bank credit facility, thereby increasing the unused portion of our U.S. revolving credit facility.

Our U.S. revolving credit facility has a capacity of $1,100 million and matures on May 22, 2019. It also provides an expansion option, which permits us to request an increase of up to $200 million to the credit facility upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The U.S. revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of $703 million at April 2, 2016. Interest on the outstanding credit facility borrowings is principally based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which was 1.88% at April 2, 2016 and will decrease to 1.63% during the third quarter of 2016. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets.

The U.S. revolving credit facility contains various covenants. The covenant for minimum interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of EBITDA to interest expense for the most recent four quarters, is 3.0. The covenant for the maximum leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of net debt, including letters of credit, to EBITDA for the most recent four quarters, is 3.5. The covenant for maximum capital expenditures is $185 million for 2016 and increases by $10 million each year thereafter. We are in compliance with all covenants. EBITDA is defined in the loan agreement as (i) the sum of net income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, other non-cash items reducing consolidated net income and non-cash equity-based compensation expenses minus (ii) other non-cash items increasing consolidated net income.

We are generally not required to obtain the consent of lenders of the U.S. revolving credit facility before raising significant additional debt financing; however, certain limitations and conditions may apply that would require consent to be obtained. In recent years, we have demonstrated our ability to secure consents to access debt markets. We have also been successful in accessing equity markets from time to time. We believe that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing as needed.

At April 2, 2016, we had $391 million of unused capacity, including $379 million from the U.S. revolving credit facility after considering standby letters of credit. However, our leverage ratio covenant limits our borrowing capacity to $324 million as of April 2, 2016.

We have a trade receivables securitization facility (the "Securitization Program"), which terminates on April 13, 2018. Under the Securitization Program, we sell certain trade receivables and related rights to an affiliate, which in turn sells an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the trade receivables to a financial institution, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. The Securitization Program effectively increases our borrowing capacity by up to $120 million and lowers our cost to borrow funds as compared to the U.S. revolving credit facility. We had an outstanding balance of $100 million at April 2, 2016. The Securitization Program has a minimum borrowing requirement, which was $80 million at April 2, 2016. Interest on the secured borrowings under the Securitization Program was 1.19% at April 2, 2016 and is based on 30-day LIBOR plus an applicable margin.

Net debt to capitalization was 42% at April 2, 2016 and 44% at October 3, 2015. The decrease in net debt to capitalization is primarily due to our net earnings and positive cash flow.

We believe that our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available borrowings under short and long-term arrangements will continue to be sufficient to meet our operating needs.

The Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program beginning in January 2014 that includes both Class A and Class B common shares, and allows us to buy up to an aggregate 13.0 million common shares. Under this program, we have purchased approximately 9.3 million shares for $633 million as of April 2, 2016.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND MARKET TRENDS

We operate within the aerospace and defense and industrial markets. Our aerospace and defense markets are affected by market conditions and program funding levels, while our industrial markets are influenced by general capital investment trends and economic conditions. A common factor throughout our markets is the continuing demand for technologically advanced products.

Aerospace and Defense

Approximately 64% of our 2015 sales were generated in aerospace and defense markets. Within aerospace and defense, we serve three end markets: defense, commercial aircraft and space.

The defense market is dependent on military spending for development and production programs. Aircraft production programs are typically long-term in nature, offering predictability as to capacity needs and future revenues. We maintain positions on numerous high priority programs, including the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, FA-18E/F Super Hornet and V-22 Osprey. The large installed base of our products leads to attractive aftermarket sales and service opportunities. The tactical and strategic missile, missile defense and defense controls markets are dependent on many of the same market conditions as military aircraft, including overall military spending and program funding levels. Our security and surveillance product line is dependent on government funding at federal and local levels, as well as private sector demand.

Reductions in the U.S. Department of Defense's mandatory and discretionary budgeted spending, which became effective on March 1, 2013, resulting from the Budget Control Act of 2011, will have ongoing ramifications for the domestic aerospace and defense market for the near future. The automatic spending limitations (which is generally referred to as sequestration) of approximately $500 billion through the Federal Government's 2021 fiscal year will present challenges over the next decade, as uncertainty remains with respect to the levels of defense spending. We believe that lower U.S. defense spending is affecting our military sales. Currently, we expect approximately $670 million of U.S. defense sales in 2016.

The commercial aircraft market is dependent on a number of factors, including global demand for air travel, which generally follows underlying economic growth. As such, the commercial aircraft market has historically exhibited cyclical swings which tend to track the overall economy. In recent years, the development of new, more fuel-efficient commercial air transports has helped drive increased demand in the commercial aircraft market, as airlines replace older, less fuel-efficient aircraft with newer models in an effort to reduce operating costs. The aftermarket is driven by usage of the existing aircraft fleet and the age of the installed fleet, and is impacted by fleet re-sizing programs for passenger and cargo aircraft. Changes in aircraft utilization rates affect the need for maintenance and spare parts and impact aftermarket sales. Boeing and Airbus have historically adjusted production in line with air traffic volume. Demand for our commercial aircraft products is in large part dependent on new aircraft production, which is increasing as Boeing and Airbus work to fulfill large backlogs of unfilled orders.

The commercial space market is comprised of large satellite customers, traditionally communications companies. Trends for this market, as well as for commercial launch vehicles, follow demand for increased capacity. This in turn, tends to track with underlying demand for increased consumption of telecommunication services, satellite replacement and global navigation needs. The space market is also partially dependent on the governmental-authorized levels of funding for satellite communications, as well as investment for commercial and exploration activities.

Industrial

Approximately 36% of our 2015 sales were generated in industrial markets. Within industrial, we serve three end markets: industrial automation, energy and medical.

The industrial automation market we serve is influenced by several factors including capital investment, product innovation, economic growth, cost-reduction efforts and technology upgrades. We experience challenges from the need to react to the demands of our customers, who are in large part sensitive to international and domestic economic conditions.

36

The energy market we serve is affected by changing oil and natural gas prices, global urbanization, the resulting change in supply and demand for global energy and the political climate and corresponding public support for investments in renewable energy generation capacity. Historically, drivers for global growth include investments in power generation infrastructure, including renewable energy, and exploration in search of new oil and gas resources. However, the recent significant decline in the price of crude oil has reduced investment in exploration activities. This reduced investment has directly affected our energy business in Components and in Industrial Systems. Currently, we expect approximately $40 million of oil exploration-related sales in 2016, down from approximately $100 million in 2014.

The medical market we serve is influenced by economic conditions, regulatory environments, hospital and outpatient clinic spending on equipment, population demographics, medical advances, patient demands and the need for precision control components and systems. Advances in medical technology and medical treatments have had the effect of extending the average life spans, in turn resulting in greater need for medical services. These same technology and treatment advances also drive increased demand from the general population as a means to improve quality of life. Access to medical insurance, whether through government funded health care plans or private insurance, also affects the demand for medical services.

Foreign Currencies

We are affected by the movement of foreign currencies compared to the U.S. dollar, particularly in Industrial Systems. About one-quarter of our 2015 sales were denominated in foreign currencies. During the first six months of 2016, average foreign currency rates generally weakened against the U.S. dollar compared to 2015. The translation of the results of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars decreased sales by $24 million compared to the same period one year ago.

Section 2.2.Period of Participation. An Executive selected for participation in the Plan will become a Participant on the date established by the Board. A Participant will cease to be an active Participant on the earliest to occur of (i) the Participant’s Separation Date, (ii) the date the Participant otherwise ceases to be an Executive, (iii) the date of the Participant’s death, (iv) the date the Participant’s eligibility is terminated by the Board in its sole discretion, or (v) the date the Participant attains age 65, unless the Board in its sole discretion determines that the Participant will continue to be an active Participant following his or her attainment of age 65.

Section 2.3.Vesting.

(a)In General. A Participant will become 100% vested in his or her Benefit as of the later of the date the Participant commences participation in the Plan or completes 3 Years of Service. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.3, if a Participant incurs a Separation from Service prior to completing 3 Years of Service, the Participant will automatically forfeit his or her entire Benefit without any further action required by the Company.

(b)Death. If an unvested Participant dies before incurring a Separation from Service, the Participant will become 100% vested in his or her Benefit as of his or her date of death.

ARTICLE 3CONTRIBUTIONS

Section 3.1.Company Contributions. Each Participant will be assigned by the Board to a Contribution Category for purposes of determining the level of Company Contributions made on his or her behalf under the Plan. For each payroll period during which a Participant is an active Participant in the Plan, the Company will make a Company Contribution on behalf of the Participant in an amount equal to the percentage of Base Salary specified for the Participant’s Contribution Category in the attached Appendix A, which may be amended from

- 4 -

time to time in the Board’s discretion. Company Contributions with respect to a Participant will commence as of the first full payroll period that begins after the expiration of the 30-day election period described in Section 5.1.

Section 3.2.Discretionary Contributions. The Board, in its sole discretion, may authorize a Discretionary Contribution to be made on behalf of one or more Participants for a Plan Year in an amount to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion. The fact that the Board authorizes a Discretionary Contribution to be made on behalf of one or more Participants does not obligate the Board to authorize a Discretionary Contribution to be made on behalf of any other Participant. Further, the fact that the Board authorizes a Discretionary Contribution to be made on behalf of a Participant for a Plan Year does not obligate the Board to authorize a Discretionary Contribution to be made on behalf of the Participant for any other Plan Year.

ARTICLE 4ACCOUNTS AND INVESTMENTS

Section 4.1.Establishment of Account. The Company will establish and maintain for each Participant a bookkeeping Account to which it will credit all Company Contributions and Discretionary Contributions made on behalf of the Participant under Article 3. Company Contributions will be credited to a Participant’s Account coincident with, or as soon as administratively practicable following, the payroll date to which the Company Contribution relates. Discretionary Contributions will be credited to a Participant’s Account as of the date determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

At no time may any Participant be deemed to have any right, title, or interest, legal or equitable, in any asset of the Company, including but not limited to any assets or investments held in the Participant’s Account. The Participant will have no more rights to the assets and investments in the Account than any other unsecured creditor.

Section 4.2.Investment of Account. Participants will be permitted to direct the Company as to the investment of their Accounts in accordance with administrative rules established by the Company. In this regard, a Participant will be permitted to select from among the investment options made available from time-to-time by the Company. The Company may establish one or more default investment funds that a Participant’s Account will be invested in if a Participant fails to direct the Company as to the investment of his or her Account. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section, the Company may, in its sole discretion, limit investment of a Participant’s Account to a single investment fund or vehicle. In addition, the Company may, but is not required, to invest amounts equal to the value of a Participant’s Account in the investment(s) selected by the Participant. However, earnings or losses with respect to a Participant’s Account will be determined in accordance with the investment performance of the Participant’s selected investments, regardless of whether or not the Company actually invests amounts equal to the Participant’s Account in the investment(s) selected by the Participant. The Company will not be liable to any Participant or Beneficiary for any loss or other claim arising out of investments under the Plan except for that caused by the Company’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

- 5 -

Section 4.3.Adjustments to Account. Each Participant’s Account will be adjusted by the Company no less often than monthly to reflect (a) the value of the contributions credited to the Account, (b) any earnings or losses on the Account balance in accordance with Section 4.2, and (c) any payments made to the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary. The amounts allocated and the adjustments made comprise the Participant’s Account at any time.

Section 4.4.Rabbi Trust. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the Company may, but is not required to establish a Rabbi Trust to which the Company will contribute all amounts credited to a Participant’s Account in accordance with Articles 3 and 4. A Participant’s interest in the Account and in the Rabbi Trust, if any, is limited to the right to receive payments as provided under this Plan and the Rabbi Trust, if any, and the Participant’s position is that of general unsecured creditor of the Company.

ARTICLE 5PAYMENT ELECTIONS

Section 5.1.Payment Election. During the 30-day period that commences on the date a Participant first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan under Article 2, the Participant may elect to receive payment of his or her vested Benefit on account of a Separation from Service in a lump sum or in 5, 10, or 15 annual installments. During that same 30-day period, the Participant, subject to the rules of Section 8.12(c), may also elect to have payment of that vested Benefit commence or be paid within 90 days of the Participant’s Separation Date, or on the six-month or 12-month anniversary of the Participant’s Separation Date. If a Participant fails to submit a timely payment election in a form acceptable to the Company in its sole discretion, then the Participant will be deemed to have elected to have payment of his or her vested Benefit paid, subject to the rules of Section 8.12(c), in a lump sum within 90 days of the Participant’s Separation Date. Subject to Section 5.2, the Participant’s election (or deemed election) will become irrevocable at the expiration of the election period.

Section 5.2.Subsequent Changes in Payment Election. If the conditions of this Section 5.2 are satisfied, a Participant may make a one-time election to change the time and form of payment in which his or her vested Benefit is payable on account of a Separation from Service. The requirements of this Section 5.2 are satisfied only if the following conditions are met:

(a)The subsequent election is made in a form that is acceptable to the Company in its sole discretion;

(b)A Participant’s subsequent election will not take effect until at least 12 months after the date the subsequent election is made;

(c)Any payment with respect to which a Participant’s subsequent election applies will be paid to the Participant on a date that is at least 5 years after the date the payment otherwise would have been paid or commence to be paid to the Participant;

- 6 -

(d)In the case of a payment to be made at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule, the subsequent election is made not less than 12 months before the date the payment is scheduled to be paid or commence to be paid; and

(e)The subsequent election otherwise complies with Code Section 409A.

Section 5.3.Installment Elections. If a Participant elects to receive payment of his or her vested Benefit on account of a Separation from Service in 5, 10, or 15 annual installments, then the first annual installment will be determined by multiplying the value of the Participant’s Account as of the Participant’s Payment Commencement Date (or, if the Company is unable to value the Participant’s Account as of the Participant’s Payment Commencement Date, the most recent date preceding the Participant’s Payment Commencement Date as of which the Participant’s Account was valued pursuant to Section 4.3) by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is 1, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of annual installments payable to the Participant. Any subsequent annual installments will be paid to the Participant as of the anniversary of the Participant’s Payment Commencement Date. The amount to be paid to a Participant for any subsequent annual installment will be determined in the same manner as with the first installment, except (i) the denominator of the fraction will equal the total number of remaining installments payable to the Participant, and (ii) the Participant’s entire remaining Benefit will be paid to the Participant as part of the last installment payment.

ARTICLE 6TIME OF PAYMENT

Section 6.1.Payment on Account of Separation from Service. Subject to Section 8.12(c), a Participant’s vested Benefit will be paid (or commence to be paid) to the Participant in accordance with the Participant’s election or deemed election under Section 5.1.

Section 6.2.Payment on Account of a Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs before payment of a Participant’s entire vested Benefit has been made under the Plan, any remaining amounts in the Participant’s Account will be paid to the Participant in a single lump sum payment within 90 days following the occurrence of the Change in Control.

Section 6.3.Death Benefits. If a Participant dies before payment of the Participant’s entire Benefit has been made under the Plan, any remaining amounts in the Participant’s Account will be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a single lump sum payment as soon as reasonably practicable following the date on which the Participant dies, but in no event more than 90 days after the Participant’s death.

Section 6.4.Unforeseeable Emergency.In the event a Participant suffers an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Company, in its sole discretion, may permit the Participant to withdraw a portion of his or her Account under the Plan. The determination of whether an Unforeseeable Emergency exists will be made by the Company based on all relevant facts and circumstances. For purposes of this Plan an “Unforeseeable Emergency” is defined as a severe financial hardship to the Participant (i) resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant, the

- 7 -

Participant’s spouse, or the Participant’s dependent (as defined in Code Section 152(a) without regard to Code Sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B)); (ii) loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty; or (iii) other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the Participant’s control. The amount of the withdrawal will be limited to the amount needed to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency, plus taxes reasonably anticipated to be owed by the Participant as a result of the withdrawal. A withdrawal will not be allowed under this provision to the extent that the emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause a severe financial hardship). Withdrawals under this Section will be determined by the Company in compliance with Code Section 409A and related regulations, rulings and procedures.

Section 6.5.De Minimis Cash-Outs. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Company, in its sole discretion, may pay a Participant’s Benefit to the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary in a single lump sum payment at any time, provided that (a) the value of the Participant’s Account at the time of the distribution does not exceed the applicable dollar amount under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B), and (b) the payment complies with the rules of Code Section 409A (including, but not limited to, the requirement that any mandatory lump sum cash out payment result in the termination and liquidation of the Participant’s entire interest under the Plan and any plan required to be aggregated with the Plan under Code Section 409A).

ARTICLE 7AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION, OR TERMINATION

Section 7.1.Amendment, Suspension, or Termination. The Company may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, at any time by action of the Board.

Section 7.2.No Reduction. Except as required by law, no amendment, suspension or termination may adversely affect the Benefit otherwise available to a Participant under the Plan, determined as if the Participant had ceased being a Participant on or before the effective date of such amendment, suspension, or termination. The value of a Participant's Account, if any, determined as of the effective date of any amendment, suspension, or termination will continue to be adjusted in accordance with Section 4.3 and payable in accordance with Article 5. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Board, in its sole discretion, may terminate the Plan and cause the Company to pay all Benefits in a single lump sum payment to Participants and Beneficiaries to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A.

ARTICLE 8GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 8.1.Funding. The Plan constitutes an unfunded arrangement and has the status as an unfunded plan maintained for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees for purposes of Title 1 of ERISA. All Benefits under this Plan are payable solely from the Company’s general assets, and

- 8 -

a Participant or Beneficiary has only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to any Benefit payable under this Plan.

Section 8.2.Non-assignability. No Benefit under this Plan may be assigned or alienated, or be subjected by attachment or otherwise to the claims of creditors of any Participant or Beneficiary.

Section 8.3.Withholding. The Company has the right to deduct or withhold from the Benefit paid under the Plan (or from other amounts payable to the Participant, if necessary) all taxes that are required to be deducted or withheld under any provision of law (including, but not limited to, U.S. Social Security and Medicare taxes (FICA) and income tax withholding) now in effect or that may become effective any time during the term of the Plan.

Section 8.4.Administration. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, which has full authority and power to: (a) administer the Plan; (b) construe the Plan terms; (c) make factual determinations; (d) resolve any ambiguities or inconsistencies; (e) determine eligibility for participation or benefits; and (f) decide all questions arising in the Plan administration, interpretation or application.

The Compensation Committee may delegate any of its administrative duties under the Plan to any one or more persons, except that no person will be permitted to participate in any decision affecting his or her entitlement to a Benefit under the Plan.

Section 8.5.Exclusivity of Plan. The Plan is intended solely for the purpose of providing deferred compensation to the Participants to the mutual advantage of the parties. Nothing contained in the Plan in any way affects or interferes with the right of a Participant to participate in any other benefit plan in which he or she may be entitled to participate.

Section 8.6.No Right to Continued Service. Neither the Plan nor any of its provisions may be construed as giving any Participant a right to continued employment with the Corporation.

Section 8.7.Notice. Each notice and other communication concerning the Plan must be in writing and is deemed given only when (a) delivered by hand, (b) transmitted by telex, telecopier, or email (provided that a copy is sent at approximately the same time by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested), or (c) received by the addressee, if sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by Express Mail, Federal Express or other overnight delivery service. Notice must be given to the Company at its principal office and to a Participant at his or her last known address (or to such other address or telecopier number as a party may specify by notice given to the other party in accordance with this Section).

Section 8.8.Claims Procedures. If a Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary does not receive the Benefit to which he or she believes he or she is entitled, that person may file a claim in writing with the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee will establish a claims procedure with the following provisions:

- 9 -

(a)Notification of Decision. If the claim is wholly or partially denied, the Compensation Committee will notify the claimant in writing within 90 days after the claim has been received (unless special circumstances require an extension of up to 90 additional days). The written notification must state the specific reasons for the denial of the claim and the specific references to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based. It must describe any additional material the claimant may need to submit to the Compensation Committee to have the claim approved and must give the reasons the material is necessary. In addition, the notice must explain the claim review procedure and be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Participant or the Beneficiary.

(b)Claim Review Procedure. If the Participant or Beneficiary receives a notice that the claim has been denied, the claimant, or his or her authorized representative, may appeal to the Compensation Committee for a review of the claim. The claimant must submit a request for review in writing to the Compensation Committee no later than 60 days after the date the written notice of the claim denial is received. The claimant, or his or her representative, may then review Plan documents that pertain to the claim and may submit issues and comments in writing to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee must give the claim for review a full and fair review and must deliver to the claimant a written determination of the claim, including specific reasons for the decision, not later than 60 days after the date the Compensation Committee received the request for review (unless special circumstances require an extension of up to 60 additional days). The decision of the Compensation Committee will be final and conclusive.

Section 8.9.New York Law Controlling. The Plan will be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Section 8.10.Severability. Every provision of the Plan is intended to be severable. If any provision of the Plan is illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, the illegality or invalidity of that provision will not affect the validity or legality of the remainder of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had never been made part of the Plan.

Section 8.11.Binding on Successors. The Plan is binding upon the Participants and the Company, their heirs, successors, legal representatives and assigns.

Section 8.12.Code Section 409A Provisions.

(a)409A Compliance It is intended that all terms and payments under this Plan comply with and be administered in accordance with Code Section 409A so as not to subject a Participant to payment of interest or any additional tax under Code Section 409A. All terms of the Plan that are undefined or ambiguous will be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with Code Section 409A if necessary to comply with Code Section 409A. If payment or provision of any amount or Benefit under this Plan at the time specified would subject such amount or Benefit to any additional tax under Code Section 409A, the payment or provision of such amount or Benefit will be postponed, if possible, to the earliest commencement date on which the payment or provision of such amount or Benefit could be made without incurring such

- 10 -

additional tax. The Company will, to the extent reasonably possible, amend the Plan in order to comply with Code Section 409A and avoid the imposition of any interest or additional tax under Code Section 409A; provided, however, that no amendment is required if such amendment would change the amount payable by the Company under the Plan.

(b)Single Payment. For any Benefit payable in installments under this Plan, the entire series of installments will be treated as a single payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.

(c)Six-Month Delay. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if it is determined that a Participant is a Specified Employee and that any Benefit payable under the Plan (a) is subject to Code Section 409A and (b) is payable solely because the Participant has incurred a Separation from Service, then the Participant’s Benefit will not be paid (or begin to be paid) prior to the date that is six months after the Separation Date (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death). Payment of any Benefit to which the Participant would otherwise be entitled during the first six months following the Separation Date will be accumulated and paid on the day that is six months after the Separation Date. For purposes of the Plan, a “Specified Employee” is a Participant who is determined to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.

(d)409A Liability Limitation. Benefits under the Plan are intended to comply with the rules of Code Section 409A and will be construed accordingly. However, the Company will not be liable to any Participant or Beneficiary with respect to any adverse tax consequences arising under Section 409A or other provision of the Code.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of results for the interim period have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months endedApril 2, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2015. All references to years in these financial statements are to fiscal years.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." This ASU is intended to change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and enhance convergence of the FASB’s and the International Accounting Standard Board’s (IASB) reporting requirements for discontinued operations. The provisions of this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this amendment in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Acquisition and Divestiture

In 2016, we acquired a 70% ownership in Linear Mold and Engineering, a Livonia, Michigan-based company specializing in metal additive manufacturing that provides engineering, manufacturing and production consulting services to customers across a wide range of industries, including aerospace, defense, energy and industrial. The purchase price, net of acquired cash, was $22,765 consisting of $11,016 in cash, issuance of a $1,280 unsecured note and assumption of $10,469 of debt. The acquisition also includes a redeemable noncontrolling interest in the remaining 30%, which is exercisable beginning three years from the date of acquisition. This acquisition is included in of our Aircraft Controls segment. The purchase price allocation is subject to adjustments as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the measurement period.

In 2015, we sold the Rochester, New York and Erie, Pennsylvania life sciences operations of our Medical Devices segment for $2,988 in cash.

Our U.S. revolving credit facility has a capacity of $1,100,000 and matures on May 22, 2019. It also provides an expansion option, which permits us to request an increase of up to $200,000 to the credit facility upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets.

On November 21, 2014, we completed the sale of $300,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due December 1, 2022 at par with interest paid semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The aggregate net proceeds of $294,430 were used to repay indebtedness under our U.S. bank credit facility, thereby increasing the unused portion of our revolving credit facility.

The Securitization Program was extended on April 15, 2016 and matures on April 13, 2018 and increases our borrowing capacity to $120,000. Under the Securitization Program, we sell certain trade receivables and related rights to an affiliate, which in turn sells an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the trade receivables to a financial institution, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. Interest for the Securitization Program is based on 30-day LIBOR plus an applicable margin. A commitment fee is also charged based on a percentage of the unused amounts available and is not material. The agreement governing the Securitization Program contains restrictions and covenants which include limitations on the making of certain restricted payments, creation of certain liens, and certain corporate acts such as mergers, consolidations and sale of substantially all assets. The Securitization Program has a minimum borrowing requirement equal to the lesser of either 80% of our borrowing capacity or 100% of our borrowing base, which is a subset of the trade receivables sold under this agreement. As of April 2, 2016, our minimum borrowing requirement is $80,000.

Derivative Instruments and Hedges, Assets [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

We principally use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk associated with long-term debt and foreign exchange risk related to foreign operations and foreign currency transactions. We enter into derivative financial instruments with a number of major financial institutions to minimize counterparty credit risk.

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments

Interest rate swaps are used to adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable and fixed interest rates. The interest rate swaps are designated as hedges of the amount of future cash flows related to interest payments on variable-rate debt that, in combination with the interest payments on the debt, convert a portion of the variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. At April 2, 2016, we had interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $200,000. The interest rate swaps effectively convert this amount of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt at 2.64%, including the applicable margin of 1.88% as of April 2, 2016. The interest will revert back to variable rates based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin upon the maturity of the interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps mature at various times between June 6, 2016 and June 5, 2017.

We use foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges to effectively fix the exchange rates on future payments and revenue. To mitigate exposure in movements between various currencies, primarily the Philippine peso, we had outstanding foreign currency forwards with notional amounts of $50,569 at April 2, 2016. These contracts mature at various times through March 2, 2018.

These interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts are recorded in the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value and the related gains or losses are deferred in shareholders’ equity as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCI). These deferred gains and losses are reclassified into expense during the periods in which the related payments or receipts affect earnings. However, to the extent the interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts are not perfectly effective in offsetting the change in the value of the payments and revenue being hedged, the ineffective portion of these contracts is recognized in earnings immediately. Ineffectiveness was not material in the first six months of 2016 or 2015.

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

We also have foreign currency exposure on balances, primarily intercompany, that are denominated in foreign currencies and are adjusted to current values using period-end exchange rates. The resulting gains or losses are recorded in the consolidated condensed statements of earnings. To minimize foreign currency exposure, we had foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of $132,597 at April 2, 2016. The foreign currency contracts are recorded in the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value and resulting gains or losses are recorded in the consolidated condensed statements of earnings. We recorded the following gains or losses on foreign currency contracts which are included in other income or expense and generally offset the gains or losses from the foreign currency adjustments on the intercompany balances that are also included in other income or expense:

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value

Fair Value

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. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. The definition of the fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.

Level 3 – Inputs for which significant valuation assumptions are unobservable in a market and therefore value is based on the best available data, some of which is internally developed and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.

Our derivatives are valued using various pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses that incorporate observable market data, such as interest rate yield curves and currency rates, and are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. Our Level 3 fair value liabilities represent contingent consideration recorded for acquisitions to be paid if various financial targets are met. The amounts recorded were calculated for each payment scenario in each period using an estimate of the probability of the future cash outflows. The varying contingent payments were then discounted to the present value at the weighted average cost of capital. Fair value is assessed on a quarterly basis, or whenever events or circumstances change that indicates an adjustment is required. The assessment includes an evaluation of the performance of the acquired business compared to previous expectations, changes to future projections and the probability of achieving the earn out targets.

The following table presents the fair values and classification of our financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, all of which are classified as Level 2.

	Classification	April 2, 2016		October 3, 2015
Foreign currency contracts	Other current assets	$	2,008	$	127
Foreign currency contracts	Other assets	317		39
	Total assets	$	2,325	$	166
Foreign currency contracts	Other accrued liabilities	$	2,454	$	2,184
Foreign currency contracts	Other long-term liabilities	175		572
Interest rate swaps	Other accrued liabilities	383		756
Interest rate swaps	Other long-term liabilities	45		268
	Total liabilities	$	3,057	$	3,780

Our only financial instrument for which the carrying value differs from its fair value is long-term debt. At April 2, 2016, the fair value of long-term debt was $1,098,526 compared to its carrying value of $1,103,776. The fair value of long-term debt is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and was estimated based on quoted market prices.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

Restructuring

Restructuring

In 2016, we initiated further restructuring actions in conjunction with exiting a product line within Aircraft Controls in the U.S. We have also taken actions as a result of the business outlook in specific markets and locations in Components and Industrial Systems that resulted in workforce reductions in Canada, Europe and the U.S. The expense for all of these actions consists of $4,581 of non-cash charges, primarily for writing off intangible assets, $3,281 for severance and $480 for facility closure.

In 2015, we initiated additional restructuring plans as a result of ongoing reviews of our lines of business and operations. The restructuring actions taken resulted in workforce reductions, primarily in the U.S., Europe and Asia.

In 2014, we initiated restructuring plans in response to the business outlook, which includes a change in the mix of sales and delays and cancellations of orders for certain product lines. The restructuring actions taken resulted in workforce reductions, primarily in the U.S. and Europe.

Restructuring activity for severance and other costs by segment is as follows:

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three and six months endedApril 2, 2016 were 23.9% and 25.2%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months endedApril 4, 2015 were 22.5% and 25.8%, respectively. The effective tax rates for these periods are lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to a significant portion of our earnings that come from foreign operations with lower tax rates and the recognition and timing of U.S. research and development tax credits. In addition, we also benefited from the reversal of accruals for certain tax exposures outside the U.S. whose statutes of limitations expired during these periods.

Segment Information

Segment Information

During 2015, we made a change to our segment reporting. Our Components segment now includes our sensors and handpieces product line, which we previously included in the Medical Devices segment. This product line consists of manufactured ultrasonic and optical sensors as well as surgical handpieces distributed to medical OEMs. Since the customer base is different from the sale of medical pumps directly to end users, the chief operating decision maker is now reviewing performance and assessing the allocation of resources of this product line as part of the Components segment. All historical amounts have been restated to conform to this new organization.

Below are sales and operating profit by segment for the three and six months endedApril 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 and a reconciliation of segment operating profit to earnings before income taxes. Operating profit is net sales less cost of sales and other operating expenses, excluding interest expense, equity-based compensation expense and other corporate expenses. Cost of sales and other operating expenses are directly identifiable to the respective segment or allocated on the basis of sales, number of employees or profit.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure

Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings. We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings which management believes will result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We are engaged in administrative proceedings with governmental agencies and legal proceedings with governmental agencies and other third parties in the normal course of our business, including litigation under Superfund laws, regarding environmental matters. We believe that adequate reserves have been established for our share of the estimated cost for all currently pending environmental administrative or legal proceedings and do not expect that these environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In the ordinary course of business we could be subject to ongoing claims or disputes from our customers, the ultimate settlement of which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations. While the receivables and any loss provisions recorded to date reflect management's best estimate of the projected costs to complete a given project, there is still significant effort required to complete the ultimate deliverable. Future variability in internal cost and as well as future profitability is dependent upon a number of factors including deliveries, performance and government budgetary pressures. The inability to achieve a satisfactory contractual solution, further unplanned delays, additional developmental cost growth or variations in any of the estimates used in the existing contract analysis could lead to further loss provisions. Additional losses could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the period in which the loss may be recognized.

We are contingently liable for $18,494 of standby letters of credit issued by a bank to third parties on our behalf at April 2, 2016.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." This ASU is intended to change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and enhance convergence of the FASB’s and the International Accounting Standard Board’s (IASB) reporting requirements for discontinued operations. The provisions of this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this amendment in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
