1.            i BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 i 
Curtiss-Wright Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Corporation" or the "Company") is a global integrated business that provides highly engineered products, solutions, and services mainly to aerospace & defense (A&D) markets, as well as critical technologies in demanding commercial power, process, and industrial markets.

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

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements.

Management is required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant of these estimates includes the estimate of costs to complete using the over-time revenue recognition accounting method, pension plan and postretirement obligation assumptions, estimates for inventory obsolescence, fair value estimates around assets and assumed liabilities from acquisitions, estimates for the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets, legal reserves, and the estimate of future environmental costs. Changes in estimates of contract sales, costs, and profits are recognized using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. This method recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods. Accordingly, the effect of the changes on future periods of contract performance is recognized as if the revised estimate had been the original estimate. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, there were no significant changes in estimated contract costs. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of the operating results for a full year.

2.            i REVENUE

The Corporation recognizes revenue when control of a promised good and/or service is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Corporation expects to be entitled to in exchange for that good and/or service.

Performance Obligations

The Corporation identifies a performance obligation for each promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. As part of its assessment, the Corporation considers all goods and/or services promised in the contract, regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. The Corporation’s contracts may contain either a single performance obligation, including the promise to transfer individual goods or services that are not separately distinct within the context of the respective contracts, or multiple performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Corporation allocates the overall transaction price to each performance obligation using standalone selling prices, where available, or utilizes estimates for each distinct good or service in the contract where standalone prices are not available.

The Corporation’s performance obligations are satisfied either at a point-in-time or on an over-time basis. Typically, over-time revenue recognition is based on the utilization of an input measure used to measure progress, such as costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs. If a performance obligation does not qualify for over-time revenue recognition, revenue is then recognized at the point-in-time in which control of the distinct good or service is transferred to the customer, typically based upon the terms of delivery.

 i The following table illustrates the approximate percentage of revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied over-time versus at a point-in-time for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

Contract backlog represents the remaining performance obligations that have not yet been recognized as revenue. Backlog includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. Total backlog was approximately $ i 2.6 billion as of September 30, 2022, of which the Corporation expects to recognize approximately  i 90% as net sales over the next  i 36 months. The remainder will be recognized thereafter.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table presents the Corporation’s total net sales disaggregated by end market and customer type:

Contract Balances

Timing of revenue recognition and cash collection may result in billed receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and deferred revenue (contract liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Corporation’s contract assets primarily relate to its rights to consideration for work completed but not billed as of the reporting date. Contract assets are transferred to billed receivables when the rights to consideration become unconditional. This is typical in situations where amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms or upon achievement of contractual milestones. The Corporation’s contract liabilities primarily consist of customer advances received prior to revenue being earned. Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 included in the contract liabilities balance as of January 1, 2022 was approximately $ i 54 million and $ i 189 million, respectively. Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 included in the contract liabilities balance as of January 1, 2021 was approximately $ i 46 million and $ i 188 million, respectively. Contract assets and contract liabilities are reported in the "Receivables, net" and "Deferred revenue" lines, respectively, within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

3.            i ACQUISITIONS

The Corporation continually evaluates potential acquisitions that either strategically fit within the Corporation’s existing portfolio or expand the Corporation’s portfolio into new product lines or adjacent markets.  The Corporation has completed numerous acquisitions that have been accounted for as business combinations and have resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Corporation's financial statements.  This goodwill arises because the acquisition purchase price reflects the future
Page 11

CURTISS-WRIGHT CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES to CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

earnings and cash flow potential in excess of the earnings and cash flows attributable to the current product and customer set at the time of acquisition.  Thus, goodwill inherently includes the know-how of the assembled workforce, the ability of the workforce to further improve the technology and product offerings, and the expected cash flows resulting from these efforts. Goodwill may also include expected synergies resulting from the complementary strategic fit these businesses bring to existing operations.

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

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Corporation acquired  i one business for an aggregate purchase price of $ i 247 million, which is described in more detail below. The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes $ i 14 million of total net sales and $ i 6 million of net losses from the Corporation's 2022 acquisition. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Corporation did not complete any acquisitions.

9.            i FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
Forward Foreign Exchange and Currency Option Contracts
 
The Corporation has foreign currency exposure primarily in the United Kingdom, Europe, and Canada. The Corporation uses financial instruments, such as forward and option contracts, to hedge a portion of existing and anticipated foreign currency denominated transactions. The purpose of the Corporation’s foreign currency risk management program is to reduce volatility in earnings caused by exchange rate fluctuations. Guidance on accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities requires companies to recognize all of the derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based upon quoted market prices for comparable instruments.
 
Interest Rate Risks and Related Strategies
 
The Corporation’s primary interest rate exposure results from changes in U.S. dollar interest rates. The Corporation’s policy is to manage interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt.

Effects on Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair values of the asset and liability derivative instruments were immaterial.

Undesignated hedges

The gains and losses on forward exchange derivative contracts not designated for hedge accounting are recognized to general and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $ i 6 million and $ i 12 million, respectively. The losses for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $ i  i 2 /  million, respectively.

Debt

The estimated fair value amounts were determined by the Corporation using available market information that is primarily based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issuances as of September 30, 2022. Accordingly, all of the Corporation’s debt is valued as a Level 2 financial instrument. The fair values described below may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, the use of different methodologies to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as well as during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized settlement charges related to the retirement of former executives. The settlement charges represent events that are accounted for under guidance on employers’ accounting for settlements and curtailments of defined benefit pension plans.

Defined Contribution Retirement Plan

The Company also maintains a defined contribution plan for all non-union employees who are not currently receiving final or career average pay benefits for its U.S. subsidiaries. The employer contributions include both employer match and non-elective contribution components up to a maximum employer contribution of  i 7% of eligible compensation. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the expense relating to the plan was $ i 5.5 million and $ i 15.8 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the expense relating to the plan was $ i 4.6 million and $ i 14.2 million, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, approximately  i 49,000 and  i 37,000 shares, respectively, issuable under equity-based awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive based on the average stock price during the period.

There were no anti-dilutive equity-based awards for the three months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, approximately  i 41,000 shares issuable under equity-based awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive based on the average stock price during the period.

12.            i SEGMENT INFORMATION

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

14.            i CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

From time to time, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our business. Some of these proceedings allege damages relating to asbestos and environmental exposures, intellectual property matters, copyright infringement, personal injury claims, employment and employee benefit matters, government contract issues, commercial or contractual disputes, and acquisitions or divestitures. The Corporation continues to defend vigorously against all claims. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including assessment of the merits of the particular claim, as well as current accruals and insurance coverage, the Corporation does not expect that such legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Legal Proceedings

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

Letters of Credit and Other Financial Arrangements

The Corporation enters into standby letters of credit agreements and guarantees with financial institutions and customers primarily relating to guarantees of repayment, future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services, and to
Page 18

secure advance payments from certain international customers. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were $ i 14.7 million and $ i 21.1 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding, respectively, and $ i 2.4 million and $ i 4.5 million of bank guarantees outstanding, respectively. In addition, the Corporation is required to provide the Nuclear Regulatory Commission financial assurance demonstrating its ability to cover the cost of decommissioning its Cheswick, Pennsylvania facility upon closure, though the Corporation does not intend to close this facility. The Corporation has provided this financial assurance in the form of a $ i 35.2 million surety bond.

AP1000 Program

In February 2022, the Corporation and Westinghouse Electric Company (WEC) executed a settlement agreement to resolve all open claims and counterclaims under the AP1000 U.S. and China contracts. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Corporation paid WEC $ i 15 million in March 2022 and is required to pay WEC a final amount of $ i 10 million in the first quarter of 2023 in exchange for the Corporation’s full release from all open claims under such contracts, whether known or unknown. Under the settlement, the parties also negotiated and executed a right of first refusal for all future AP1000 projects. As of December 31, 2021, the Corporation was adequately accrued regarding this matter.


15.            i SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 27, 2022, the Corporation announced that it formally closed its private placement debt offering of $ i 300 million for senior notes, consisting of $ i 200 million  i 4.49% notes due 2032 and $ i 100 million  i 4.64% notes due 2034.

COMPANY ORGANIZATION
 
Curtiss-Wright Corporation is a global integrated business that provides highly engineered products, solutions, and services mainly to aerospace & defense markets, as well as critical technologies in demanding commercial power, process, and industrial markets. We report our operations through our Aerospace & Industrial, Defense Electronics, and Naval & Power segments. We operate across a diversified array of niche markets through engineering and technological leadership, precision manufacturing, and strong relationships with our customers. Approximately 66% of our 2022 revenues are expected to be generated from A&D-related markets.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic. The pandemic has adversely affected certain elements of our business, including our supply chain, transportation networks, and production levels. The extent to which COVID-19 continues to adversely impact our operations depends on future developments, including the impact of the global rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, the emergence and impact of any new COVID-19 variants, as well as the issuance of vaccine mandates by the Biden administration. However, given the diversified breadth of our company, we believe that we are well-positioned to mitigate any material risks arising as a result of COVID-19 or any of its variants. From an operational perspective, our current cash balance, coupled with expected cash flows from operating activities for the remainder of the year as well as our current borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement, are expected to be more than sufficient to meet operating cash requirements, planned capital expenditures, principal payments on the current portion of long-term debt obligations, interest payments on long-term debt obligations, payments on lease obligations, pension and postretirement funding requirements, and dividend payments through the current year and beyond.

Business Environment

During the current period, we have experienced supply chain challenges, including increased lead times, as well as heightened levels of inflation in material and transportation costs due to availability constraints and high demand. Certain parts of our business have been adversely affected by disruptions that have hindered our ability to timely obtain raw materials and components from our suppliers in the required quantities, or on favorable terms. In certain instances, these disruptions have delayed our ability to convert backlog into net sales in line with historical performance. We expect inflationary and supply chain constraint trends to continue throughout at least the remainder of 2022. While the long-term impact of these factors remains uncertain, we will continue to closely monitor the extent to which these factors will impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA)

On August 16, 2022, the IRA was enacted into law. The statute includes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on adjusted financial statement income which is effective for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2024. The new law also imposes a 1% excise tax on share repurchases, effective for repurchases made after December 31, 2022. We are currently assessing the potential impact of this law as it pertains to excise taxes, which will be dependent on the extent of share repurchases made in future periods.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of the Corporation for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022. The financial information as of September 30, 2022 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 contained in our Form 10-K.

The MD&A is organized into the following sections: Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Results by Business Segment, and Liquidity and Capital Resources. Our discussion will be focused on the overall results of operations followed by a more detailed discussion of those results within each of our reportable segments.

Our three reportable segments are generally concentrated in a few end markets; however, each may have sales across several end markets. An end market is defined as an area of demand for products and services. The sales for the relevant markets will be discussed throughout the MD&A.

Analytical Definitions

Throughout management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, the terms “incremental” and “organic” are used to explain changes from period to period. The term “incremental” is used to highlight the impact acquisitions and divestitures had on the current year results. The results of operations for acquisitions are incremental for the first twelve months from the date of acquisition. Additionally, the results of operations of divested businesses are removed from the comparable prior year period for purposes of calculating “organic” and “incremental” results. The definition of “organic” excludes the impairment of assets held for sale and corresponding loss from sale of our industrial valves business in Germany as well as the effects of foreign currency translation.

Sales in the third quarter increased $10 million, or 2%, to $631 million, compared with the prior year period. On a segment basis, sales from the Aerospace & Industrial and Naval & Power segments increased $17 million and $13 million, respectively, with sales from the Defense Electronics segment decreasing $20 million.

Sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $40 million, or 2%, to $1,799 million, compared with the prior year period. On a segment basis, sales from the Defense Electronics and Naval & Power segments decreased $71 million and $5 million, respectively, with sales from the Aerospace & Industrial segment increasing $36 million. Changes in sales by segment are discussed in further detail in the results by business segment section below.

Operating income in the third quarter increased $10 million, or 10%, to $108 million, and operating margin increased 140 basis points to 17.1% compared with the same period in 2021. In the Aerospace & Industrial segment, operating income and operating margin benefited from favorable absorption on higher sales in the general industrial and commercial aerospace markets, as well as our ongoing operational excellence initiatives. Operating income and operating margin in the Naval & Power segment increased primarily due to a prior year impairment loss on assets held for sale in our industrial valves business in Germany, favorable absorption on higher organic sales, as well as the benefits of our ongoing operational excellence initiatives. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in operating income in the Defense Electronics segment, primarily due to unfavorable overhead absorption on lower sales.

Operating income during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $11 million, or 4%, to $266 million and operating margin decreased 30 basis points to 14.8%, compared with the same period in 2021. In the Defense Electronics segment, decreases in operating income and operating margin were primarily due to unfavorable overhead absorption on lower sales. These decreases were partially offset by increases in operating income and operating margin in the Aerospace & Industrial segment, primarily due to favorable absorption on higher sales in the general industrial and commercial aerospace markets, as well as the benefits of our ongoing operational excellence initiatives. In the Naval & Power segment, operating income was essentially flat while operating margin improved slightly, as favorable absorption on higher organic sales as well as lower current period losses associated with our industrial valves business in Germany were partially offset by first year purchase accounting costs from our arresting systems acquisition.

Non-segment operating expense in the third quarter of $10 million was essentially flat against the comparable prior year period. Non-segment operating expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $6 million, or 20%, to $33 million, primarily due to costs associated with shareholder activism in the current period.

Interest expense in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $4 million, or 41%, to $14 million, and $3 million, or 11%, to $33 million, primarily due to higher current period borrowings under our Credit Agreement.

Other income, net in the third quarter of $4 million was essentially flat against the comparable prior year period. Other income, net during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $2 million, or 27%, to $11 million, primarily due to lower overall pension costs against the comparable prior year period.

The effective tax rate of 24.2% in the third quarter increased compared to an effective tax rate of 23.7% in the prior year period, primarily due to provisional tax expense in the current period to record a valuation allowance on unused foreign tax credits. The effective tax rate of 24.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased as compared to an effective
Page 23


CURTISS-WRIGHT CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES
PART I - ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS of
FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued

tax rate of 25.6%, primarily due to a favorable state rate change on deferred tax liabilities in the current year versus an unfavorable foreign rate change on deferred tax liabilities in the prior year.

Comprehensive income in the third quarter was $28 million, compared to comprehensive income of $58 million in the prior year period. The change was primarily due to the following:

Foreign currency translation adjustments in the third quarter resulted in a $50 million comprehensive loss, compared to a $16 million comprehensive loss in the prior year period. The comprehensive loss during the current period was primarily attributed to decreases in the British Pound and Canadian dollar.
Net earnings increased $4 million, primarily due to higher operating income.

Comprehensive income during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $102 million, compared to comprehensive income of $193 million in the prior year period. The change was primarily due to the following:

Foreign currency translation adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 resulted in a $97 million comprehensive loss, compared to a $13 million comprehensive loss in the prior period. The comprehensive loss during the current period was primarily attributed to decreases in the British Pound and Canadian dollar.
Net earnings decreased $5 million, primarily due to lower operating income and higher interest expense.

New orders in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $189 million and $328 million, respectively, from the comparable prior year periods, primarily due to the timing of naval defense orders and the incremental impact from our arresting systems acquisition in the Naval & Power segment, as well as an increase in new orders for ground defense and aerospace defense equipment in the Defense Electronics segment. New orders in both periods also benefited from an increase in new orders for commercial aerospace equipment in the Aerospace & Industrial segment.

Sales in the third quarter increased $13 million, or 6%, to $256 million from the prior year period, primarily due to the impact of our arresting systems acquisition in the aerospace defense market, which contributed incremental sales of $14 million. In the power & process market, higher nuclear aftermarket sales were more than offset by the wind-down on the China Direct AP1000 program.

Sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $5 million, or 1%, to $733 million from the prior year period. Sales decreased $13 million in the naval defense market, as higher demand on the Columbia-class submarine and CVN-81 aircraft carrier programs was more than offset by lower sales on the CVN-80 aircraft carrier and Virginia-class submarine programs. In the power & process market, higher nuclear aftermarket sales were more than offset by the wind-down on the China Direct AP1000 program. These decreases were partially offset by the impact of our arresting systems acquisition in the aerospace defense market, which contributed incremental sales of $14 million.

Operating income in the third quarter increased $6 million, or 17%, to $42 million, and operating margin increased 160 basis points from the prior year period to 16.2%, primarily due to a prior year impairment loss on assets held for sale related to our industrial valves business in Germany, favorable absorption on higher organic sales, as well as the benefits of our ongoing operational excellence initiatives. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable mix in the power & process market, as well as first year purchase accounting costs from our arresting systems acquisition.

Operating income during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $2 million, or 2%, to $119 million, and operating margin increased 40 basis points from the prior year period to 16.2%, primarily due to favorable absorption on higher organic sales, as well as lower current period losses associated with our industrial valves business in Germany, which was sold in the current period. These increases were partially offset by first year purchase accounting costs from our arresting systems acquisition.

New orders in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $102 million and $223 million, respectively, from the comparable prior year periods, primarily due to the timing of naval defense orders, the incremental impact from our arresting systems acquisition, as well as an increase in new orders for nuclear aftermarket and process products.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources and Use of Cash

We derive the majority of our operating cash inflow from receipts on the sale of goods and services and cash outflow for the procurement of materials and labor; cash flow is therefore subject to market fluctuations and conditions. Most of our long-term contracts allow for several billing points (progress or milestone) that provide us with cash receipts as costs are incurred throughout the project rather than upon contract completion, thereby reducing working capital requirements. In some cases, these payments can exceed the costs incurred on a project. Management continually evaluates cash utilization alternatives, including share repurchases, acquisitions, increased dividends, capital expenditures, and paying down debt, to determine the most beneficial use of available capital resources. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations,

available borrowings under the credit facility, and ability to raise additional capital through the credit markets, are sufficient to meet both the short-term and long-term capital needs of the organization.

Debt

The Corporation’s debt outstanding had an average interest rate of 3.6% and 3.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively and 3.6% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The Corporation’s average debt outstanding was $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and $1.1 billion for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

On October 27, 2022, the Corporation announced that it formally closed its private placement debt offering of $300 million for senior notes, consisting of $200 million 4.49% notes due 2032 and $100 million 4.64% notes due 2034.

Revolving Credit Agreement

In May 2022, the Corporation terminated its existing credit agreement, which was set to expire in October 2023, and entered into a new Credit Agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions. The Credit Agreement, which is set to expire in May 2027, increases the size of the Corporation’s revolving credit facility to $750 million, and expands the accordion feature to $250 million.

As of September 30, 2022, the Corporation had $388 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, and $15 million in letters of credit supported by the Credit Agreement. The unused credit available under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2022 was $347 million, which could be borrowed without violating any of our debt covenants.

Repurchase of common stock

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Corporation used $44 million of cash to repurchase approximately 0.3 million outstanding shares under its share repurchase program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Corporation used $79 million of cash to repurchase approximately 0.6 million outstanding shares under its share repurchase program.

Cash Utilization

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

Dividends

The Corporation made dividend payments of $14 million during both the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. Additionally, beginning in the second quarter, the Corporation increased its quarterly dividend 6% to $0.19 per share.

In the third quarter, the Corporation declared dividends of $7 million, which was paid to shareholders of record in October 2022.

Debt Compliance

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

As of September 30, 2022, we had the ability to borrow additional debt of $1.4 billion without violating our debt to capitalization covenant.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of these statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by the application of our accounting policies. Critical accounting policies are those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. A summary of significant accounting policies and a description of accounting policies that are considered critical may be found in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2022, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1, and the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Item 3.                      QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
There have been no material changes in our market risk during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.  Information regarding market risk and market risk management policies is more fully described in "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Item 4.                      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
As of September 30, 2022, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2022 insofar as they are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and they include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.                     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our business. Some of these proceedings allege damages relating to asbestos and environmental exposures, intellectual property matters, copyright infringement, personal injury claims, employment and employee benefit matters, government contract issues, commercial or contractual disputes, and acquisitions or divestitures. We continue to defend vigorously against all claims. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including assessment of the merits of the particular claim, as well as current accruals and insurance coverage, we do not believe that the disposition of any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

We have been named in pending lawsuits that allege injury from exposure to asbestos. To date, we have not been found liable or paid any material sum of money in settlement in any asbestos-related case. We believe that the minimal use of asbestos in our past operations and the relatively non-friable condition of asbestos in our products make it unlikely that we will face material liability in any asbestos litigation, whether individually or in the aggregate. We maintain insurance coverage for these potential liabilities and we believe adequate coverage exists to cover any unanticipated asbestos liability.

Item 1A.          RISK FACTORS
 
There have been no material changes in our Risk Factors during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Information regarding our Risk Factors is more fully described in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
