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 months ended December 30, 2023 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 September 30, 2023.

Note 2 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers
We recognize revenue from contracts with customers using the five-step model prescribed in ASC 606. The first step is identifying the contract. The identification of a contract with a customer requires an assessment of each party’s rights and obligations regarding the products or services to be transferred, including an evaluation of termination clauses and presently enforceable rights and obligations. Each party’s rights and obligations and the associated terms and conditions are typically determined in purchase orders. For sales that are governed by master supply agreements under which provisions define specific program requirements, purchase orders are issued under these agreements to reflect presently enforceable rights and obligations for the units of products and services being purchased.

Contracts are sometimes modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. When this occurs, we assess the modification as prescribed in ASC 606 and determine whether the existing contract needs to be modified (and revenue cumulatively caught up), whether the existing contract needs to be terminated and a new contract needs to be created, or whether the existing contract remains and a new contract needs to be created. This is determined based on the rights and obligations within the modification as well as the associated transaction price.

The next step is identifying the performance obligations. A performance obligation is a promise to transfer goods or services to a customer that is distinct in the context of the contract, as defined by ASC 606. We identify a performance obligation for each promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. As part of our assessment, we consider all goods and/or services promised in the contract, regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. The products and services in our contracts are typically not distinct from one another due to their complexity and reliance on each other or, in many cases, we provide a significant integration service. Accordingly, many of our contracts are accounted for as one performance obligation. In limited cases, our contracts have more than one distinct performance obligation, which occurs when we perform activities that are not highly complex or interrelated or involve different product life cycles. Warranties are provided on certain contracts, but do not typically provide for services beyond standard assurances and are therefore not distinct performance obligations under ASC 606.

The third step is determining the transaction price, which represents the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to receive from a customer in exchange for providing the goods or services. There are times when this consideration is variable, for example a volume discount, and must be estimated. Sales, use, value-added, and excise taxes are excluded from the transaction price, where applicable.

The fourth step is allocating the transaction price. The transaction price must be allocated to the performance obligations identified in the contract based on relative stand-alone selling prices when available, or an estimate for each distinct good or service in the contract when standalone prices are not available. Our contracts with customers generally require payment under normal commercial terms after delivery. Payment terms are typically within 30 to 60 days of delivery. The timing of satisfaction of our performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment.

The final step is the recognition of revenue. We recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied. ASC 606 provides guidance to help determine if we are satisfying the performance obligation at a point in time or over time. In determining when performance obligations are satisfied, we consider factors such as contract terms, payment terms and whether there is an alternative use of the product or service. In essence, we recognize revenue when, or as control of, the promised goods or services transfer to the customer.

Revenue is recognized using either the over time or point in time method. The over-time method of revenue recognition is predominantly used in Space and Defense, Military Aircraft and Commercial Aircraft. We use this method for U.S. Government contracts and repair and overhaul arrangements as we are creating or enhancing assets that the customer controls as the assets are being created or enhanced. In addition, many of our large commercial contracts qualify for over-time accounting as our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Our over-time contracts are primarily firm fixed price.

11

Revenue recognized at the point in time control is transferred to the customer is used most frequently in Industrial. We use this method for commercial contracts in which the asset being created has an alternative use. We determine the point in time control transfers to the customer by weighing the five indicators provided by ASC 606 - the entity has a present right to payment; the customer has legal title; the customer has physical possession; the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership; and the customer has accepted the asset. When control has transferred to the customer, profit is generated as cost of sales is recorded and as revenue is recognized. Inventory costs include all product manufacturing costs such as direct material, direct labor, other direct costs and indirect overhead cost allocations. Shipping and handling costs are considered costs to fulfill a contract and not considered performance obligations. They are included in cost of sales as incurred.

Revenue is recognized over time on contracts using the cost-to-cost method of accounting as work progresses toward completion as determined by the ratio of cumulative costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs at completion, multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative revenue recognized in prior periods. We believe that cumulative costs incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total contract costs at completion is an appropriate measure of progress toward satisfaction of performance obligations as this measure most accurately depicts the progress of our work and transfer of control to our customers. Changes in estimates affecting sales, costs and profits are recognized in the period in which the change becomes known using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting, resulting in the cumulative effect of changes reflected in the period. Estimates are reviewed and updated quarterly for substantially all contracts. For the three months ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 we recognized lower revenue of $95 and $4,300, respectively, for adjustments made to performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods.

Contract costs include only allocable, allowable and reasonable costs which are included in cost of sales when incurred. For applicable U.S. Government contracts, contract costs are determined in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations and the related Cost Accounting Standards. The nature of these costs includes development engineering costs and product manufacturing costs such as direct material, direct labor, other direct costs and indirect overhead costs. Contract profit is recorded as a result of the revenue recognized less costs incurred in any reporting period. Variable consideration and contract modifications, such as performance incentives, penalties, contract claims or change orders are considered in estimating revenues, costs and profits when they can be reliably estimated and realization is considered probable. Revenue recognized on contracts for unresolved claims or unapproved contract change orders was not material for the three months ended December 30, 2023.

As of December 30, 2023, we had contract reserves of $54,553. For contracts with anticipated losses at completion, a provision for the entire amount of the estimated remaining loss is charged against income in the period in which the loss becomes known. Contract losses are determined considering all direct and indirect contract costs, exclusive of any selling, general or administrative cost allocations that are treated as period expenses. Loss reserves are more common on firm fixed-price contracts that involve, to varying degrees, the design and development of new and unique controls or control systems to meet the customers’ specifications. In accordance with ASC 606, we calculate contract losses at the contract level, versus the performance obligation level. Recall reserves are recorded when additional work is needed on completed products for them to meet contract specifications. Contract-related loss reserves are recorded for the additional work needed on completed and delivered products in order for them to meet contract specifications.

12

Contract Assets and Liabilities
Unbilled receivables (contract assets) primarily represent revenues recognized for performance obligations that have been satisfied but for which amounts have not been billed. Unbilled receivables are classified as current assets and in accordance with industry practice, include amounts that may be billed and collected beyond one year due to the long term nature of our contracts.

Contract advances and progress billings (contract liabilities) relate to payments received from customers in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations for a contract (contract advances) and when billings are in excess of revenue recognized (progress billings). These amounts are recorded as contract liabilities until such obligations are satisfied, either over-time as costs are incurred or at a point when deliveries are made. We do not consider contract advances and progress billings to be significant financing components as the intent of these payments in advance are for reasons other than providing a significant financing benefit and are customary in our industry.

For contracts recognized using the cost-to-cost method, the amount of unbilled receivables or contract advances and progress billings is determined for each contract to determine the contract asset or contract liability position at the end of each reporting period.

Total contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows:
December 30,
2023
September 30, 2023
Unbilled receivables$760,561 $706,601 
Contract advances and progress billings445,706 377,977 
Net contract assets$314,855 $328,624 

The increase in contract assets reflects the net impact of additional unbilled revenues recorded in excess of revenue recognized during the period. The increase in contract liabilities reflects the net impact of additional deferred revenues recorded in excess of revenue recognized during the period. For the three months ended December 30, 2023, we recognized $97,705 of revenue, that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the year.

Remaining Performance Obligations
As of December 30, 2023, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) was $5,300,000. We expect to recognize approximately 47% of that amount as sales over the next twelve months and the balance thereafter.

On October 20, 2023, we acquired Data Collection Limited ("DCL") based in Auckland, New Zealand for a purchase price, net of acquired cash, of $5,882, consisting of $5,212 in cash and a working capital adjustment to be paid of approximately $670. DCL specializes in manufacturing and operating pavement surveying equipment and providing innovative solutions for measuring and managing pavements. This operation is included in our Military Aircraft segment. The purchase price allocation is subject to adjustments as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the measurement period.

Divestitures
On September 30, 2022, we sold a sonar business based in the United Kingdom previously included in our Industrial segment. We have cumulatively received net proceeds of $13,075 and recorded a loss of $15,246, net of transaction costs. The transaction is subject to adjustments associated with amounts currently held in escrow.

On December 3, 2021, we sold the assets of our Navigation Aids ("NAVAIDS") business based in Salt Lake City, Utah previously included in our Military Aircraft segment to Thales USA Inc. We have cumulatively received net proceeds of $36,550 and recorded a gain of $15,242, net of transaction costs. The transaction is subject to adjustments associated with amounts currently held in escrow.

Receivables, net$381,609 $434,723 
On December 13, 2023, Moog Receivables LLC (the "Receivables Subsidiary"), a wholly owned bankruptcy remote special purpose subsidiary of Moog Inc. (the "Company"), as seller, the Company, as master servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Agent") and certain purchasers (collectively, the "Purchasers") entered into the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement (the "RPA"). The RPA amendment increased the capacity from $100,000 to $125,000 and extended the maturity date from November 4, 2024 to December 11, 2026. The RPA is subject to customary termination events related to transactions of this type.

Under the RPA, the Receivables Subsidiary may sell receivables to the Purchasers in amounts up to a $125,000 limit. The receivables will be sold to the Purchasers in consideration for the Purchasers making payments of cash, which is referred to as "capital" for purposes of the RPA, to the Receivables Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the RPA. The Receivables Subsidiary may sell receivables to the Purchasers so long as certain conditions are satisfied, including that, at any date of determination, the aggregate capital paid to the Receivables Subsidiary does not exceed a "capital coverage amount", equal to an adjusted net receivables pool balance minus a required reserve. Each Purchaser's share of capital accrues yield at a variable rate plus an applicable margin.

The parties intend that the conveyance of receivables to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers will constitute a purchase and sale of receivables and not a pledge for security. The Receivables Subsidiary has guaranteed to each Purchaser and Agent the prompt payment of sold receivables, and to secure the prompt payment and performance of such guaranteed obligations, the Receivables Subsidiary has granted a security interest to the Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, in all assets of the Receivables Subsidiary. The assets of the Receivables Subsidiary are not available to pay our creditors or any affiliate thereof. In our capacity as master servicer under the RPA, we are responsible for administering and collecting receivables and have made customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities. We also provided a performance guarantee for the benefit of the Purchaser.

The proceeds of the RPA are classified as operating activities in our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows. Cash received from collections of sold receivables is used by the Receivables Subsidiary to fund additional purchases of receivables on a revolving basis or to return all or any portion of outstanding capital of the Purchaser. Subsequent collections on the pledged receivables, which have not been sold, will be classified as operating cash flows at the time of collection. Total receivables sold and cash collections under the RPA were $148,827 and $123,827 for the three months ended December 30, 2023, respectively. The fair value of the sold receivables approximated book value due to their credit quality and short-term nature, and as a result, no gain or loss on sale of receivables was recorded.

As of December 30, 2023, the amount sold to the Purchasers was $125,000, which was derecognized from the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. As collateral against sold receivables, the Receivables Subsidiary maintains a certain level of unsold receivables, which was $583,838 at December 30, 2023.

The allowance for credit losses is based on our assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The allowance is determined by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of the accounts receivable, current economic conditions and reasonable forecasted financial information that may affect a customer’s ability to pay.

Note 7 - Leases
We lease certain manufacturing facilities, office space and machinery and equipment globally. At inception we evaluate whether a contractual arrangement contains a lease. Specifically, we consider whether we control the underlying asset and have the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits or outputs from the asset. If the contractual arrangement contains a lease, we then determine the classification of the lease, operating or finance, using the classification criteria described in ASC 842. We then determine the term of the lease based on terms and conditions of the contractual arrangement, including whether the options to extend or terminate the lease are reasonably certain to be exercised. We have elected to not separate lease components from non-lease components, such as common area maintenance charges and instead, account for the lease and non-lease components as a single component.
Our lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and our lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. Operating lease ROU assets are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Finance lease ROU assets are included in Property, plant and equipment and finance lease liabilities are included in Accrued liabilities and other, and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Operating lease cost is included in Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Finance lease cost is included in Cost of sales, Selling, general and administrative and Interest on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.





16



The ROU assets and lease liabilities for both operating and finance leases are recognized as of the commencement date at the net present value of the fixed minimum lease payments over the term of the lease, using the discount rate described below. Variable lease payments are recorded in the period in which the obligation for the payment is incurred. Variable lease payments based on an index or rate are initially measured using the index or rate as of the commencement date of the lease and included in the fixed minimum lease payments. For short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less as of the commencement date, we do not recognize a ROU asset or lease liability on our balance sheet; we recognize expense as the lease payments are made over the lease term.

The discount rate used to calculate the present value of our leases is the rate implicit in the lease. If the information necessary to determine the rate implicit in the lease is not available, we use our incremental borrowing rate for collateralized debt, which is determined using our credit rating and other information available as of the lease commencement date.

Note 8 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Effective October 1, 2023, we made a change to our reporting structure to separate our former Aircraft Controls operating segment into two operating segments, Military Aircraft and Commercial Aircraft, which also represent reporting units for purposes of assessing goodwill. We performed an impairment test consistent with the rules set forth under ASC 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other,” by performing a quantitative analysis on the former reporting unit. Following this test, the Company reassigned the goodwill from the former Aircraft Controls reporting unit to its new reporting units using a relative fair value allocation approach. We then performed quantitative goodwill impairment tests on each of the new reporting units. Quantitative testing requires a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. We principally use the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. The discounted cash flow method incorporates various assumptions, the most significant being projected cash flows (inclusive of projected revenue growth rates and operating margins), the terminal growth rate and the discount rate. Management projects revenue growth rates, operating margins and cash flows based on each reporting unit's current business, expected developments and operational strategies typically over a five-year period. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and an impairment loss must be measured. The results of our quantitative assessments showed the fair value of the two new reporting units, Military Aircraft and Commercial Aircraft, exceeded their carrying value; and therefore, goodwill was not impaired.

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

Note 9 - Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures
Investments and operating results in which we do not have a controlling interest, however we do have the ability to exercise significant influence over operations, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Net investment balances for equity method investments and joint ventures are included as Other assets in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets and consist of:

Losses from equity method investments and joint ventures were $67 and $204 for three months ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively and are included in Other in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.

Moog Aircraft Services Asia ("MASA") is a joint venture included in our Commercial Aircraft segment in which we currently hold a 51% ownership share. MASA is intended to provide maintenance, repair and overhaul services for our manufactured flight control systems.

We hold a 20% ownership interest in NOVI LLC ("NOVI") that is included in our Space and Defense segment. NOVI specializes in applying machine learning algorithms to space situational awareness.

Suffolk Technologies Fund 1, L.P., is a limited partnership included in our Industrial segment that invests in startups to transform the construction, real estate and property maintenance industries in the U.S. We have a remaining on-call capital commitment of up to $6,295.
Hybrid Motion Solutions (“HMS”) is a joint venture in our Industrial segment in which we hold a 50% ownership interest. HMS specializes in hydrostatic servo drives and leverages synergies to enter new markets. The joint venture focuses on research and development, design and assembly as well as service. Our share of cumulative losses to date has exceeded our initial investment, and as such, we had no net investment balance recorded as of December 30, 2023.

Investments in, and the operating results of, entities in which we do not have a controlling financial interest or the ability to exercise significant influence over the operations are accounted for using the cost method of accounting. As of December 30, 2023 we had cost method investments of $9,875, which are included as Other assets in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Our U.S. revolving credit facility, which matures on October 27, 2027, has a capacity of $1,100,000 and provides an expansion option, which permits us to request an increase of up to $400,000 to the credit facility upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Interest on the majority of our outstanding borrowings is principally based on SOFR plus the applicable margin. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets. The loan agreement contains various covenants which, among others, specify interest coverage and maximum leverage. We are in compliance with all covenants.

The SECT has a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $35,000, maturing on October 26, 2025. Interest is based on SOFR plus an applicable margin. A commitment fee is also charged based on a percentage of the unused amounts available and is not material.

We have $500,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior notes due December 15, 2027 with interest paid semiannually on June 15 and December 15 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. We are in compliance with all covenants.

Note 12 - Derivative Financial Instruments
We principally use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign exchange risk related to foreign operations and foreign currency transactions and interest rate risk associated with long-term debt. We enter into derivative financial instruments with a number of major financial institutions to minimize counterparty credit risk.

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments
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, including the Philippine peso, we had outstanding foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of $2,792 at December 30, 2023. These contracts mature at various times through March 1, 2024.

We use forward currency contracts to hedge our net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. As of December 30, 2023, we had no outstanding net investment hedges.

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 December 30, 2023, we had no outstanding interest rate swaps.

Foreign currency contracts, net investment hedges and interest rate swaps 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) ("AOCIL"). These deferred gains and losses are reclassified into the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings, as necessary, during the periods in which the related payments or receipts affect earnings. However, to the extent the foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps 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 three months of 2024 or 2023.


22


Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
We also have foreign currency exposure on balances, primarily intercompany, that are denominated in a foreign currency 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 have foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of $149,110 at December 30, 2023. 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 and 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:

Note 13 - 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.

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, except for the acquisition contingent consideration, which is classified as Level 3:

Our only financial instrument for which the carrying value differs from its fair value is long-term debt. At December 30, 2023, the fair value of long-term debt was $893,656 compared to its carrying value of $924,000. 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 14 - Restructuring
In 2023, we initiated restructuring actions in relation to portfolio shaping activities which contains certain elements, primarily retention agreements, that will continue through 2027 and could result in additional costs of up to approximately $10,400.

Restructuring activity for severance and other costs by segment and reconciliation to consolidated amounts is as follows:

Note 22 - 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 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 $19,285 related to standby letters of credit issued by banks to third parties on our behalf at December 30, 2023.

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 September 30, 2023. In addition, the following should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements contained herein. All references to years in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are to fiscal years. 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 and components for military aircraft, turreted weapon systems, tactical and strategic missile steering controls and various defense product components.
Commercial aircraft market - primary and secondary flight controls and components for commercial aircraft.
Space market - satellite avionics, positioning controls and components, launcher thrust vector controls and components, as well as integrated space vehicles.

In the industrial market, our products are used in a wide range of applications including:
Industrial market - various components and systems used in various applications including: heavy industrial machinery used for metal forming and pressing, flight simulation motion control systems, energy exploration and generation products, material and automotive structural and fatigue testing systems, as well as for the electrification of construction vehicles.
Medical market - components and pumps for enteral clinical nutrition and infusion therapy, CT scan medical equipment, ultrasonic sensors and surgical handpieces and sleep apnea equipment.

We operate under four segments, Space and Defense, Military Aircraft, Commercial Aircraft and Industrial. Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, Philippines, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Costa Rica, China, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Japan, Czech Republic, Canada, India and Lithuania.

Under ASC 606, 63% of revenue was recognized over time for the quarter ended December 30, 2023, using the cost-to-cost method of accounting. The over-time method of revenue recognition is predominantly used in Space and Defense, Military Aircraft and Commercial Aircraft. We use this method for U.S. Government contracts and repair and overhaul arrangements as we are creating or enhancing assets that the customer controls. In addition, many of our large commercial contracts qualify for over-time accounting as our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

For the quarter ended December 30, 2023, 37% of revenue was recognized at the point in time control transferred to the customer. This method of revenue recognition is used most frequently in Industrial. We use this method for commercial contracts in which the asset being created has an alternative use. We determine the point in time control transfers to the customer by weighing the five indicators provided by ASC 606. When control has transferred to the customer, profit is generated as cost of sales is recorded and as revenue is recognized.

Our products and technologies affect the lives of millions of people around the world. Our solutions are critical to preserving national security, ensuring safe air transportation, reducing factory emissions and enhancing patient's lives all while driving innovation. Our engineers collaboratively design and manufacture the most advanced motion control products, to the highest quality standards, for use in demanding applications. By capitalizing on these core foundational strengths, we believe we have achieved a leadership position in the high performance, precision controls market and are "Shaping The Way Our World Moves™."



31


By leveraging our engineering heritage and by focusing on customer intimacy to solve our customers' most demanding technical problems, we have been able to expand our control product franchise to multiple markets; organically growing from a high-performance components manufacturer to a high-performance systems designer, manufacturer and integrator. In addition, we continue to expand our content positions on our current platforms, seeking to be the leading supplier in the niche markets we serve. We also look for innovation in all aspects of our business, employing new technologies to improve productivity, while focusing on talent development to strengthen our employee operational performance.

Our fundamental long-term strategies that will help us achieve our financial objectives center around pricing and simplification initiatives. Our pricing initiatives focus on receiving fair recognition for the value we deliver to our customers across all of our markets. Our simplification initiatives include:
utilizing 80/20 processes to unlock and capture value,
shaping our product and business portfolio to invest in growth areas and to divest those that no longer fit,
rationalizing our footprint to align with current and future business levels,
focusing our factories so that individual sites meet the unique needs of a specific market, and
investing in automation and technologies to improve business operations.

We focus on improving shareholder value through strategic revenue growth, both organic and acquired, improving operating efficiencies and manufacturing initiatives and utilizing low cost manufacturing facilities without compromising quality. Historically, we have taken a balanced approach to capital deployment in order to maximize shareholder returns over the long term. These activities have included strategic acquisitions, share buybacks and dividend payments. Today, we believe we can create long term value for our shareholders by continuing to invest in our business through both capital expenditures and investments in new market opportunities. We will also continue exploring opportunities to make strategic acquisitions and return capital to shareholders.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

Net sales increased across all of our segments in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 due to the continued commercial aircraft recovery and due to higher product demand across all segments.

Gross margin increased in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023. We benefited from improved efficiencies associated with the higher sales, partially offset by the absence of a favorable sales mix last year.

Research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2024 increased compared to the same period of 2023. Higher activity supporting our new growth programs in both Space and Defense and Industrial drove the increase.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023, reflecting the incremental benefit of higher sales volume.

Interest expense in the first quarter of 2024 increased compared to the same period of 2023 due to higher interest rates on our outstanding debt balances.

As we continue to simplify our operations, the first quarters of 2024 and 2023 both included charges for various restructuring activities, primarily within Industrial. Also in Industrial, the first quarter of 2023 included a $10 million gain from the sale of two buildings.

The twelve-month backlog increased in the first quarter of 2024 compared with the first quarter of 2023. Within Space and Defense, we had higher orders across our satellite and launch vehicle programs, as well as across our defense programs. We also had higher orders across our Military Aircraft programs including the F-35 and various funded development programs. Partially offsetting these increases was a decline in Industrial's twelve-month backlog due to lower orders across our industrial automation programs.

Commercial Aircraft net sales increased in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 due to the market recoveries across all of our programs.

In the first quarter of 2024, commercial OEM sales increased $49 million and aftermarket sales increased $13 million. Within OEM, more then half of the sales increase came from our Boeing and Airbus widebody programs. Also, all of our other commercial OEM programs increased due to the continued market recovery. Within aftermarket, airlines continued to provision more on-hand spares across our widebody and other programs.

Operating margin decreased in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023, as favorable retrofit activity from last year did not repeat, offsetting the benefits of our pricing initiatives.

Industrial net sales increased in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 due to higher demand in select markets.

In the first quarter of 2024, sales increased $9 million in our simulation and test market. Higher orders for flight simulation products, associated with the demand for increased pilot training, as well for automobile testing increased sales. Sales also increased $5 million in our industrial automation market due to the demand for capital equipment.

Operating margin decreased in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 as the prior year's quarter benefited $10 million from the sale of two buildings as part of our simplification initiatives. Also the first quarters of 2024 and 2023 included $2 million and $1 million, respectively, of various restructuring and other charges. Excluding the net impacts of the gain and charges, adjusted operating margins in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023 were 12.6% and 12.3%, respectively. The resulting increase in adjusted operating margin was due to the benefits of pricing initiatives, but were partially offset by the absence of the prior year's favorable sales mix.

Diluted earnings per share$6.86 $5.34 
2024 Outlook – We expect higher sales in 2024, driven by the continued market recovery in our aerospace and defense markets. However in Industrial, an anticipated slowdown of orders will reduce sales. We also expect operating margin will increase due to the continued benefits of our pricing and simplification initiatives. Partially offsetting the incremental profit is expected higher interest expense and a higher tax rate. We expect adjusted diluted earnings per share will range between $6.70 and $7.10, with a midpoint of $6.90. Management believes that the adjusted outlook may be useful in evaluating the financial condition and results of operations of the Company

2024 Outlook for Space and Defense – In 2024, we expect sales growth across both of our space and defense markets, primarily driven by the increased investment in defense spending. We expect operating margin will increase due to the absence of the prior year's charges associated with our space vehicle programs, and due to the benefits of our pricing initiatives.

2024 Outlook for Military Aircraft – In 2024, we expect sales growth in our OEM programs, in particular sales for the V-280 program. Partially offsetting the increase is an expected sales decline in military aftermarket programs as defense funding shifts from legacy refurbishments to product modernization. We expect operating margin will increase due to having a full year of activity on the V-280 program, and due to lower amounts of charges associated with funded development contracts which are winding down.

2024 Outlook for Commercial Aircraft – In 2024, we expect sales growth from our widebody OEM programs as build rates continue to ramp. However, we expect lower sales in commercial aftermarket as the prior year's retrofit activity won't repeat, which will also reduce our operating margin in 2024.

2024 Outlook for Industrial – In 2024, we expect a decrease in sales due to lower orders in our industrial automation market consistent with macroeconomic indicators for capital spending. We also expect a sales decrease associated with the lost sales associated with our footprint and portfolio initiatives. We expect operating margin will increase due to the benefits of our pricing initiatives and the savings from our simplified operations.

Net cash used by investing activities in the first quarter of 2024 included $37 million of capital expenditures and $5 million associated with the acquisition of DCL.

Net cash used by investing activities in the first quarter of 2023 included $30 million of capital expenditures, which was partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of a building.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of 2024 included $57 million of net borrowings on our credit facilities. Financing activities also included $9 million of cash dividends.

Net cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of 2023 included $81 million of net borrowings on our credit facilities. Additionally, financing activities included $8 million of share repurchases and an additional $8 million of cash dividends.

General
Cash flows from our operations, together with our various financing arrangements, fund on-going activities, debt service requirements, organic growth, acquisition opportunities and the ability to return capital to shareholders. We believe these sources of funding will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future thereafter.

At December 30, 2023, our cash balances were $127 million, which includes $106 million held outside of the U.S. by foreign operations. We regularly assess our cash needs, including repatriation of foreign earnings which may be subject to regulatory approvals and withholding taxes, where applicable by law.

Financing Arrangements
In addition to operations, our capital resources include bank credit facilities and an accounts receivable financing program to fund our short and long-term capital requirements. We continuously evaluate various forms of financing to improve our liquidity and position ourselves for future opportunities, which from time to time, may result in selling debt and equity securities to fund acquisitions or take advantage of favorable market conditions.

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. 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.

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to interest rate risk from our long-term debt. To manage these risks, we may enter into derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps which are used to adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable and fixed interest rates.

Our U.S. revolving credit facility, which matures on October 27, 2027, has a capacity of $1.1 billion and also provides an expansion option, which permits us to request an increase of up to $400 million to the credit facility upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The weighted-average interest rate on the majority of the outstanding credit facility borrowings was 6.84% and is principally based on SOFR plus the applicable margin, which was 1.60% at December 30, 2023.

The U.S. revolving credit facility contains various covenants. The minimum for the interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of EBITDA to interest expense for the most recent four quarters, is 3.0. The maximum for the leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of net debt to EBITDA for the most recent four quarters, is 4.0. 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.

The SECT has a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $35 million, maturing on October 26, 2025. Interest was 7.58% as of December 30, 2023 and is based on SOFR plus a margin of 2.23%.

We have $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior notes due December 15, 2027 with interest paid semiannually on June 15 and December 15 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.

At December 30, 2023, we had $656 million of unused capacity, including $622 million from the U.S. revolving credit facility after considering standby letters of credit and other limitations.

Our Receivables Purchase Agreement, which matures on December 11, 2026, allows the Receivables Subsidiary to sell receivables to the Purchasers in amounts up to a $125 million limit so long as certain conditions are satisfied. The receivables are sold to the Purchasers in consideration for the Purchasers making payments of cash. Each Purchaser’s share of capital accrues yield at a variable rate plus an applicable margin, which totaled 6.35% as of December 30, 2023.

We are in compliance with all covenants under each of our financing arrangements. See Note 4 - Receivables and Note 10 – Indebtedness, of Part I, Item 1, Financial Information of this report for additional details.

Dividends and Common Stock
We believe we can create long term value for our shareholders by continuing to invest in our business through both capital expenditures as well as investments in new market opportunities. We will also continue exploring opportunities to make strategic acquisitions and return capital to shareholders.

We are currently paying quarterly cash dividends on our Class A and Class B common stock and expect to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. See the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Shareholders Equity and Cash Flows, of Part I, Item 1, Financial Information, of this report for additional details.

The Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program that permits repurchases for both Class A and Class B common stock, and allows us to buy up to an aggregate 3 million common shares. There are approximately 2.2 million common shares remaining under this authorization. See the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Shareholders Equity and Cash Flows, of Part I, Item 1, Financial Information and Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds, of this report for additional details.

Today, we believe we can create long term value for our shareholders by continuing to invest in our business through both capital expenditures as well as investments in new market opportunities. We will also continue exploring opportunities to make strategic acquisitions and return capital to shareholders.
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 financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
Our contractual obligations and commercial commitments have not changed materially from the disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2023. See Note 7 - Leases, Note 10 - Indebtedness, Note 15 - Employee Benefit Plans and Note 22 - Commitments and Contingencies, of Part I, Item 1, Financial Information, of this report for additional details.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND MARKET TRENDS
We operate within the aerospace and defense and industrial markets.

Our aerospace and defense businesses represented 70% of our 2023 sales. Within the defense market, our programs are directly affected by funding levels, which has recently increased. Our commercial aircraft market, which represented less than 20% of our 2023 sales, is aligning with our customers' growing demand. While domestic travel has recovered, global international travel remains slightly below pre-pandemic levels.

Within our industrial markets, which represented 30% of our 2023 sales, our programs benefited from increased order demand within industrial automation, simulation and test and energy markets.

A common factor throughout our markets is the continuing demand for technologically advanced products.

Aerospace and Defense
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. We have a growing development program order book for future generation aircraft and turret programs, and we strive to embed our technologies within these high-performance military programs of the future, including the Textron Bell V-280 Valor. Aircraft production programs are typically long-term in nature, offering predictable capacity needs and future revenues. We maintain positions on numerous high priority programs, including the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. 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. At times when there are perceived threats to national security, U.S. defense spending can increase; at other times, defense spending can decrease. Future levels of defense spending have increased in the near-term given the current global tensions, and are subject to presidential and congressional approval.

The commercial OEM aircraft market has depended on a number of factors, including both the last decade's increasing global demand for air travel and increasing fuel prices. Both factors contributed to the demand for new, more fuel-efficient aircraft with lower operating costs that led to large production backlogs for Boeing and Airbus. Domestic air travel has recovered from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and international travel utilizing primarily widebody aircraft is close to 2019 levels. We believe Boeing and Airbus will continue to increase their widebody aircraft production rates with the post-pandemic air traffic volumes, which affects our demand for our flight control systems.

The commercial aftermarket is driven by usage and the age of the existing aircraft fleet for passenger and cargo aircraft, which drives the need for maintenance and repairs. We have seen a recovery in the demand volume for our maintenance services and spare parts after the COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, there were very few new A350 and 787 entries into service. These delays had subsequent impacts on our aftermarket revenue, as sales are generated after the warranty period. Therefore, we expect aftermarket sales growth to be modest over the next few years.

The space market is comprised of three customer markets: the civil market, the U.S. Department of Defense market and the commercial space market. The civil market, namely NASA, is driven by investment for commercial and exploration activities, including NASA's return to the moon. The U.S. Department of Defense market is driven by governmental-authorized levels of defense spending, including funding for defense-related satellite technologies. Levels of U.S. defense spending could increase as there is growing emphasis on space as the next frontier of potential future conflicts. The commercial space market is driven by demand for small satellites, which offer new innovative space applications, including the support of broadband internet connectivity. Trends for this market, as well as for commercial launch vehicles, follow demand for increased capacity. Our launch vehicle and satellite components and systems, as well as our new space vehicle programs, will continue to benefit from increased investments in these markets.




41


Industrial
Within industrial, we serve two end markets: industrial and medical.The industrial market consists of industrial automation products, simulation and test products and energy generation and exploration products. The medical market consists of medical devices and medical components products.

The industrial market we serve with our industrial automation products is influenced by several factors including capital investment levels, the pace of product innovation, economic conditions, cost-reduction efforts, technology upgrades and the subsequent effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We experienced challenges from changing demands from customers that have changed their industrial product orders.

Our simulation and test products operate in markets that were largely affected by the same factors and investment challenges as our commercial aircraft market. However, we have seen stronger order demand for flight simulation systems as the airline training market recovers in line with domestic and foreign flight hours.

Our energy generation and exploration products operate in a market that is influenced by changing oil and natural gas prices, global urbanization and the resulting change in supply and demand for global energy. Historically, drivers for global growth include investments in power generation infrastructure and exploration of new oil and gas resources.

The medical market we serve, in general, 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 treatments have resulted in the greater need for medical services, which drive the demand for our medical devices and components programs.

Foreign Currencies
We are affected by the movement of foreign currencies compared to the U.S. dollar, particularly in Industrial, Military Aircraft and Commercial Aircraft. About one-sixth of our 2023 sales were denominated in foreign currencies. During the first three months of 2024, average foreign currency rates generally strengthened against the U.S. dollar compared to 2023. The translation of the results of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars increased sales by $6 million compared to the same period one year ago.

MOOG INC. 2014 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS


THIS PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD, effective as of the date of grant specified on the cover sheet (the “Grant Date”), is between MOOG INC. (“Moog” and, together with its Subsidiaries, the “Company”), and the named employee of the Company (the “Employee”), pursuant to the Moog Inc. 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to provide the Employee with an incentive to continue in the service of the Company and to acquire a meaningful, significant and growing proprietary interest in Moog by providing them with the opportunity to own Common Stock of Moog; and

WHEREAS, the Employee is an officer of the Company;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual agreements set forth in these Terms and Conditions and the attached cover sheet (together “the Agreement”), the Employee and the Company hereby agree as follows:

1.Grant of PSUs.

The Company hereby grants to the Employee an Award of Restricted Stock Units that will vest, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, based upon the achievement of the Performance Goals (“PSUs”). This Award represents the right to receive shares of Class B Common Stock, subject to the fulfillment of the vesting and performance requirements and other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the attached Appendices A and B, and the Plan, which is incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement by reference.

Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, the terms used in this Agreement have the meanings given them in the Plan.

2.Earned and Vested Shares; Settlement.

(a)Right to Receive Shares. The number of PSUs granted under this Agreement (the “Target Number of PSUs”) represents a target number of Shares that may be earned, based upon satisfaction of the target performance goals as set forth in Appendix A (“Performance Goals”). The actual number of PSUs earned and vested may be greater or less than the Target Number of PSUs, or even zero, and will be determined based on the Company’s actual performance level achieved in accordance with Appendix A. Each earned and vested PSU represents the right to receive one share of Class B Common Stock (a “Share”) on the applicable settlement date. Unless and until the PSUs have vested, the Employee will have no right to payment of any such PSUs.





(b)Earning and Vesting. The PSUs granted under this Agreement will vest on the last day of the Performance Period designated for this Award, subject to achievement of the Performance Goals set forth in Appendix A and to the provisions of Sections 3 and 4 below. The “Performance Period” for this Award is the three-year period set forth in Appendix A that begins on the first day of the fiscal year in which the grant is made (“Beginning Date”) and ends on the last day of the fiscal year that is closest to September 30th of the third fiscal year following the Beginning Date (the “End Date”). The actual number of PSUs earned as of the End Date will be based upon the performance level achieved with respect to the Performance Goals and will be determined by multiplying the Target Number of PSUs by the Payout Percentage achieved in accordance with Appendix A. The Performance Goals are based upon the performance of the Company during the designated Performance Period. The PSUs granted under this Agreement will not be subject to Section 11 of the Plan.

(c)Employment Requirement; Forfeiture. Unless otherwise provided in Sections 3 and 4, (i) PSUs will not vest in the Employee unless the Employee has been continuously employed by the Company from the Grant Date through the End Date, and (ii) all PSUs that have not been earned as of the End Date, because the Performance Goals established in Appendix A have not been satisfied with respect to the Performance Period, will be forfeited on the close of business on the End Date.

(d)Settlement. Subject to Section 3, as soon as practicable, but no later than 90 days, following the End Date of the Performance Period, the Company will issue to the Employee (or to his or her beneficiary or estate, as the case may be) on the applicable settlement date, one whole Share for each earned PSU not previously forfeited or terminated. Issuance of the Shares will be subject to Sections 5 and 8 below.

3.Effect of Termination of Employment.

(a)Terminations Before End Date. If the Employee’s employment with the Company terminates before the End Date of the Performance Period, the following vesting and forfeiture provisions will apply:

(i)General Rule. Unless otherwise provided below, if the Employee’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason prior to the End Date, all of the Employee’s PSUs will be forfeited and the Employee will have no further rights to earn or vest in the PSUs granted under this Agreement.

(ii)Terminations on or After Age 65 or Age Plus Service of 90 and the First Anniversary of the Beginning Date. Notwithstanding the general rule in Section 3(a)(i), if


(1)the Employee’s employment with the Company terminates on or after the first anniversary of the Beginning Date,

(2)at the time of the Employee’s termination of employment, either (x) the Employee has attained age 65, or (y) the combined total of the Employee’s age and Years of Service (as defined below) equals at least 90 and the Employee has continuously served as an officer of the Company from the Grant Date through the date of termination, and

(3)the termination is for any reason (including retirement, Disability, resignation, or involuntary termination without Cause) other than on account of death or termination by the Company for Cause, the PSUs subject to this Award will not be forfeited, but will remain available to be earned, subject to actual achievement of the Performance Goals.





The earned and vested PSUs will be settled under the general provisions of Section 2 as soon as practicable, but no later than 90 days, following the End Date, based upon the actual performance level achieved during the Performance Period, where the actual number of PSUs earned as of the End Date will be determined by multiplying the Target Number of PSUs by the Payout Percentage determined in accordance with Appendix A.

For purposes of determining the Employee’s Years of Service under Section 3(a)(ii)(2)(y), “Year of Service” will have the meaning set forth in the SERP portion of the Moog Inc. Plan to Equalize Retirement Income and Supplemental Retirement Plan (the “DB SERP”), as in effect on the Grant Date, without regard to whether the Employee is actually a participant in the DB SERP.

(iii)Termination on Account of Death. Notwithstanding the general rule in Section 3(a)(i), if the Employee’s employment with the Company terminates before the End Date on account of death, to the extent the PSUs have not previously been forfeited or terminated, a prorated portion of the Target Number of PSUs granted to the Employee will immediately vest and be payable. The prorated portion of the PSUs vesting under this subsection will be determined based on the number of quarters the Employee performed services during the Performance Period (not including the quarter in which death occurs) as compared to the total number of quarters in the Performance Period. Settlements made on account of the Employee’s death will be made in accordance with Section 23 of the Plan as soon as practicable but no later than 90 days following the date of death.

(b)Other Terminations.

(i)Termination for Cause. If the Employee is terminated by the Company for Cause, whether before or after the End Date, all of the Employee’s PSUs, both vested and unvested, will be forfeited and the Employee will have no further rights to payment or settlement of PSUs under this Agreement or the Plan.

(ii)Termination On or After End Date. If the Employee’s employment terminates for any reason other than for Cause on or after the End Date but before some or all of the Employee’s PSUs have been settled, the termination will not affect settlement of those outstanding PSUs that have already been earned and vested.

4.Effect of Change in Control.

Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, to the extent they have not previously been forfeited or terminated, all outstanding PSUs that have not previously vested will immediately vest, and payment at the maximum level of performance, as set forth in Appendix A, will be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12(c) of the Plan. A Change in Control will constitute a Change in Control for purposes of this Agreement only if the Change in Control satisfies the requirements of a “change in control event” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, or, in the case of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, such liquidation or dissolution complies with the procedures set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(A).





5.Tax Withholding.

As a condition of this Award, the Employee agrees to pay or make arrangements for the payment to the Company of the amount of any and all federal, state, local and foreign income and employment taxes that the Company determines it is required by law to withhold with respect to the PSUs. Payment will be due on the date the Company is required to withhold such taxes. Unless the Executive Compensation Committee determines otherwise in its sole discretion, or the Employee elects to make a cash payment to the Company in an amount sufficient to satisfy the withholding requirement, notwithstanding Section 8(c) the Company will satisfy the withholding requirement in accordance with Section 18 of the Plan by withholding from delivery to the Employee, Shares having a value equal to the amount of tax required to be withheld.

The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Shares issued with respect to the PSUs are subject to repurchase under a right of first refusal in favor of the Company or any assignee of the Company, as set forth in the Company’s Right of First Refusal Policy, as it may be amended from time to time (the “First Refusal Policy”). The repurchase of Shares under the First Refusal Policy may be effected by the payment to the Employee, or to the Employee’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be, of the value of the Shares as determined under the First Refusal Policy, a copy of which has been provided to the Employee.

15.Risks.

The Employee is advised that the value of the PSUs and the Shares acquired under the PSUs will fluctuate as the trading price of the Shares fluctuates. The Employee exclusively accepts all risks associated with a decline in the market price of the Shares and all other risks associated with the holding of Shares.

In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of the Plan and the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Plan will prevail. Modifications to this Agreement may be made only in a written agreement executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. The Employee agrees at all times to abide by, and acknowledges that this Award is subject to, all applicable policies of the Company, including the Company’s insider trading policies and any recoupment or clawback policy, as may exist from time to time.

Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan confers upon the Employee any right to continued employment with the Company for any period of time, nor does it interfere in any way with the Employee’s right or the Company’s right to terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason, with or without cause.

18.Section 409A.

All PSUs granted under this Agreement are intended to comply with or to be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) and will be construed accordingly. However, the Company will not be liable to the Employee or any beneficiary with respect to any adverse tax consequences arising under Section 409A or other provision of the Code. All terms of this Agreement that are undefined or ambiguous must be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with Code Section 409A if necessary to comply with Code Section 409A.

19.Data Privacy.

It is a condition of participation in the Plan and acceptance of this Award that the Employee acknowledges and explicitly consents to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described in this paragraph. The Company holds certain personal information about the Employee, including, but not limited to, the Employee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee tax identification number, salary, nationality, job title, and any awards granted, cancelled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee’s favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Employee’s Award under the Plan and this Agreement (“Personal Data”). The Employee understands that the Company will transfer Personal Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Employee’s PSUs.

These recipients may be located in the United State or elsewhere. The Employee authorizes them to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Personal Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s PSUs. The Employee may, at any time, review Personal Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consent herein in writing by contacting the Company; however, withdrawing the consent may affect the Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan and receive Shares upon vesting in the PSUs.




20.Appendix B: Non-U.S. Employees.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, with respect to any Employee residing in or relocating to a country other than the United States, the PSU Award under this Agreement will be subject to such other special terms and conditions set forth for that country in the attached Appendix B as the Company determines necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan.

APPENDIX A

PSU GRANT: PERFORMANCE GOALS AND PAYOUT PERCENTAGE




Earned PSUs:
The actual number of PSUs earned and payable will be based on achievement of performance goals and may range from 0% to 200% of the target number of PSUs awarded under this Agreement.
Vesting:
PSUs awarded under this Agreement will vest on the last day of the Performance Period specified below, subject to achievement of the Performance Goals set forth in this Appendix A.
Performance Period:
The 3-year fiscal period beginning on [___________] and ending on [___________].
Manner of Payment:
Shares of Class B Common Stock.



The number of PSUs earned and vested for this Performance Period will be determined according to business performance in the following two areas – sales growth and operating margin. The measurement of these will be based on the cumulative sales and adjusted operating margins across the Performance Period.
    
For the purpose of this grant, on-target performance is defined as Moog achieving [$___ ] of sales during the Performance Period and [ ___ %] adjusted operating margin, measured as an average of the adjusted operating margin for each fiscal year during the Performance Period. [For illustrative purposes only, if the adjusted operating margin is [ ___ %] for fiscal year 1, [ ___ %] for fiscal year 2, and [ ___ %] for fiscal year 3, the cumulative adjusted operating margin would be [ ___ %]] In the event that the sales and adjusted operating margin targets are both met, 100% of the Target Number of PSUs awarded under this grant will be earned and vested. The number of PSUs that are earned and vested depends on actual performance over the Performance Period, with each performance target carrying equal weighting, as set forth below, and will be determined under the following formula:

Earned and Vested PSUs = Payout Percentage x Target Number of PSUs.

The Payout Percentage is based on the achievement of the Performance Goals set forth for each performance target in the table below. Each performance target is measured independently and payment of a certain percentage of PSUs is not necessarily dependent on meeting both targets. The maximum percentage of PSUs that may be earned for achieving the maximum performance level for a single performance target is 100%, and the maximum number of PSUs that may be earned for achieving the maximum performance level for both performance targets is 200%.

Moog 2014 LTIP – PSU AwardA-1



Achievement between each performance level will be interpolated on a straight-line basis rounded to the nearest whole percentage; provided that if the actual performance level achieved for a performance target does not meet the Minimum Level, then the Payout Percentage for that performance target will be 0%.

The Target Number of PSUs may be prorated under certain circumstances in accordance with Section 3 of the Award Agreement.

Canada

Termination of Employment. For purposes of Section 3, the date of the Employee’s termination of employment will be the date of termination specified in the written termination notification from the Company. Neither any period of notice nor any payment in lieu thereof upon termination of employment will be considered as extending the period of employment for the purposes of this Plan.

Germany

Termination of Employment. For purposes of this Agreement, the date of termination of employment will be:

-if the employment relationship is terminated by notice (Kündigung) of either party, the date when notice of termination is given, irrespective of the duration of any applicable notice period, and, if the Employee is a managing director, alternatively the date when notice of termination of the office as managing director (revocation or resignation) is given, whichever is earlier;

-if the employment relationship or the office as managing director is terminated by mutual agreement, the date when the termination agreement is concluded;

-in all other cases, the date when the employment relationship comes to its legal end.

Termination for Cause. Without limiting the general definition of “Cause” pursuant to Section 2 (d) of the Plan, a termination by the Company pursuant to Section 626 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) and a termination for misconduct (verhaltensbedingte Kündigung) pursuant to Section 1 of the German Protection from Unfair Dismissal Act (Kündigungsschutzgesetz) are deemed to be terminations for Cause.
Moog 2014 LTIP – PSU AwardB-1



Taxes. In the event of a conflict between the requirements of German tax law regarding wage tax and the provisions of this Agreement, the requirements of German tax law shall prevail.

No Right to Future Participation. Participation in the Plan and acceptance of this Award does not confer upon the Employee any right to participate in the Plan at any time in the future either at all or on any particular basis.

United Kingdom

No Right to Future Participation. Participation in the Plan and acceptance of this Award does not (a) confer upon the Employee any right to participate in the Plan at any time in the future either at all or on any particular basis; or (b) afford to the Employee any additional right to compensation on the termination of his or her employment which would not have existed had the Plan not existed. Accordingly, the Employee will waive any rights to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of his or her employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever insofar as these rights arise or may arise from him or her ceasing to have rights under or be entitled to any Award under the Plan as a result of such termination or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights and/or entitlements, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in his or her contract of employment.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers
3 Months Ended
Dec. 30, 2023
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue from Contracts with Customers
We recognize revenue from contracts with customers using the five-step model prescribed in ASC 606. The first step is identifying the contract. The identification of a contract with a customer requires an assessment of each party’s rights and obligations regarding the products or services to be transferred, including an evaluation of termination clauses and presently enforceable rights and obligations. Each party’s rights and obligations and the associated terms and conditions are typically determined in purchase orders. For sales that are governed by master supply agreements under which provisions define specific program requirements, purchase orders are issued under these agreements to reflect presently enforceable rights and obligations for the units of products and services being purchased.

Contracts are sometimes modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. When this occurs, we assess the modification as prescribed in ASC 606 and determine whether the existing contract needs to be modified (and revenue cumulatively caught up), whether the existing contract needs to be terminated and a new contract needs to be created, or whether the existing contract remains and a new contract needs to be created. This is determined based on the rights and obligations within the modification as well as the associated transaction price.

The next step is identifying the performance obligations. A performance obligation is a promise to transfer goods or services to a customer that is distinct in the context of the contract, as defined by ASC 606. We identify a performance obligation for each promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. As part of our assessment, we consider all goods and/or services promised in the contract, regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. The products and services in our contracts are typically not distinct from one another due to their complexity and reliance on each other or, in many cases, we provide a significant integration service. Accordingly, many of our contracts are accounted for as one performance obligation. In limited cases, our contracts have more than one distinct performance obligation, which occurs when we perform activities that are not highly complex or interrelated or involve different product life cycles. Warranties are provided on certain contracts, but do not typically provide for services beyond standard assurances and are therefore not distinct performance obligations under ASC 606.

The third step is determining the transaction price, which represents the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to receive from a customer in exchange for providing the goods or services. There are times when this consideration is variable, for example a volume discount, and must be estimated. Sales, use, value-added, and excise taxes are excluded from the transaction price, where applicable.

The fourth step is allocating the transaction price. The transaction price must be allocated to the performance obligations identified in the contract based on relative stand-alone selling prices when available, or an estimate for each distinct good or service in the contract when standalone prices are not available. Our contracts with customers generally require payment under normal commercial terms after delivery. Payment terms are typically within 30 to 60 days of delivery. The timing of satisfaction of our performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment.

The final step is the recognition of revenue. We recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied. ASC 606 provides guidance to help determine if we are satisfying the performance obligation at a point in time or over time. In determining when performance obligations are satisfied, we consider factors such as contract terms, payment terms and whether there is an alternative use of the product or service. In essence, we recognize revenue when, or as control of, the promised goods or services transfer to the customer.

Revenue is recognized using either the over time or point in time method. The over-time method of revenue recognition is predominantly used in Space and Defense, Military Aircraft and Commercial Aircraft. We use this method for U.S. Government contracts and repair and overhaul arrangements as we are creating or enhancing assets that the customer controls as the assets are being created or enhanced. In addition, many of our large commercial contracts qualify for over-time accounting as our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Our over-time contracts are primarily firm fixed price.
Revenue recognized at the point in time control is transferred to the customer is used most frequently in Industrial. We use this method for commercial contracts in which the asset being created has an alternative use. We determine the point in time control transfers to the customer by weighing the five indicators provided by ASC 606 - the entity has a present right to payment; the customer has legal title; the customer has physical possession; the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership; and the customer has accepted the asset. When control has transferred to the customer, profit is generated as cost of sales is recorded and as revenue is recognized. Inventory costs include all product manufacturing costs such as direct material, direct labor, other direct costs and indirect overhead cost allocations. Shipping and handling costs are considered costs to fulfill a contract and not considered performance obligations. They are included in cost of sales as incurred.

Revenue is recognized over time on contracts using the cost-to-cost method of accounting as work progresses toward completion as determined by the ratio of cumulative costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs at completion, multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative revenue recognized in prior periods. We believe that cumulative costs incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total contract costs at completion is an appropriate measure of progress toward satisfaction of performance obligations as this measure most accurately depicts the progress of our work and transfer of control to our customers. Changes in estimates affecting sales, costs and profits are recognized in the period in which the change becomes known using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting, resulting in the cumulative effect of changes reflected in the period. Estimates are reviewed and updated quarterly for substantially all contracts. For the three months ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 we recognized lower revenue of $95 and $4,300, respectively, for adjustments made to performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods.

Contract costs include only allocable, allowable and reasonable costs which are included in cost of sales when incurred. For applicable U.S. Government contracts, contract costs are determined in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations and the related Cost Accounting Standards. The nature of these costs includes development engineering costs and product manufacturing costs such as direct material, direct labor, other direct costs and indirect overhead costs. Contract profit is recorded as a result of the revenue recognized less costs incurred in any reporting period. Variable consideration and contract modifications, such as performance incentives, penalties, contract claims or change orders are considered in estimating revenues, costs and profits when they can be reliably estimated and realization is considered probable. Revenue recognized on contracts for unresolved claims or unapproved contract change orders was not material for the three months ended December 30, 2023.

As of December 30, 2023, we had contract reserves of $54,553. For contracts with anticipated losses at completion, a provision for the entire amount of the estimated remaining loss is charged against income in the period in which the loss becomes known. Contract losses are determined considering all direct and indirect contract costs, exclusive of any selling, general or administrative cost allocations that are treated as period expenses. Loss reserves are more common on firm fixed-price contracts that involve, to varying degrees, the design and development of new and unique controls or control systems to meet the customers’ specifications. In accordance with ASC 606, we calculate contract losses at the contract level, versus the performance obligation level. Recall reserves are recorded when additional work is needed on completed products for them to meet contract specifications. Contract-related loss reserves are recorded for the additional work needed on completed and delivered products in order for them to meet contract specifications.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Unbilled receivables (contract assets) primarily represent revenues recognized for performance obligations that have been satisfied but for which amounts have not been billed. Unbilled receivables are classified as current assets and in accordance with industry practice, include amounts that may be billed and collected beyond one year due to the long term nature of our contracts.

Contract advances and progress billings (contract liabilities) relate to payments received from customers in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations for a contract (contract advances) and when billings are in excess of revenue recognized (progress billings). These amounts are recorded as contract liabilities until such obligations are satisfied, either over-time as costs are incurred or at a point when deliveries are made. We do not consider contract advances and progress billings to be significant financing components as the intent of these payments in advance are for reasons other than providing a significant financing benefit and are customary in our industry.

For contracts recognized using the cost-to-cost method, the amount of unbilled receivables or contract advances and progress billings is determined for each contract to determine the contract asset or contract liability position at the end of each reporting period.

Total contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows:
December 30,
2023
September 30, 2023
Unbilled receivables$760,561 $706,601 
Contract advances and progress billings445,706 377,977 
Net contract assets$314,855 $328,624 

The increase in contract assets reflects the net impact of additional unbilled revenues recorded in excess of revenue recognized during the period. The increase in contract liabilities reflects the net impact of additional deferred revenues recorded in excess of revenue recognized during the period. For the three months ended December 30, 2023, we recognized $97,705 of revenue, that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the year.

Remaining Performance Obligations
As of December 30, 2023, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) was $5,300,000. We expect to recognize approximately 47% of that amount as sales over the next twelve months and the balance thereafter.

On December 13, 2023, Moog Receivables LLC (the "Receivables Subsidiary"), a wholly owned bankruptcy remote special purpose subsidiary of Moog Inc. (the "Company"), as seller, the Company, as master servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Agent") and certain purchasers (collectively, the "Purchasers") entered into the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement (the "RPA"). The RPA amendment increased the capacity from $100,000 to $125,000 and extended the maturity date from November 4, 2024 to December 11, 2026. The RPA is subject to customary termination events related to transactions of this type.

Under the RPA, the Receivables Subsidiary may sell receivables to the Purchasers in amounts up to a $125,000 limit. The receivables will be sold to the Purchasers in consideration for the Purchasers making payments of cash, which is referred to as "capital" for purposes of the RPA, to the Receivables Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the RPA. The Receivables Subsidiary may sell receivables to the Purchasers so long as certain conditions are satisfied, including that, at any date of determination, the aggregate capital paid to the Receivables Subsidiary does not exceed a "capital coverage amount", equal to an adjusted net receivables pool balance minus a required reserve. Each Purchaser's share of capital accrues yield at a variable rate plus an applicable margin.

The parties intend that the conveyance of receivables to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers will constitute a purchase and sale of receivables and not a pledge for security. The Receivables Subsidiary has guaranteed to each Purchaser and Agent the prompt payment of sold receivables, and to secure the prompt payment and performance of such guaranteed obligations, the Receivables Subsidiary has granted a security interest to the Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, in all assets of the Receivables Subsidiary. The assets of the Receivables Subsidiary are not available to pay our creditors or any affiliate thereof. In our capacity as master servicer under the RPA, we are responsible for administering and collecting receivables and have made customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities. We also provided a performance guarantee for the benefit of the Purchaser.

The proceeds of the RPA are classified as operating activities in our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows. Cash received from collections of sold receivables is used by the Receivables Subsidiary to fund additional purchases of receivables on a revolving basis or to return all or any portion of outstanding capital of the Purchaser. Subsequent collections on the pledged receivables, which have not been sold, will be classified as operating cash flows at the time of collection. Total receivables sold and cash collections under the RPA were $148,827 and $123,827 for the three months ended December 30, 2023, respectively. The fair value of the sold receivables approximated book value due to their credit quality and short-term nature, and as a result, no gain or loss on sale of receivables was recorded.

As of December 30, 2023, the amount sold to the Purchasers was $125,000, which was derecognized from the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. As collateral against sold receivables, the Receivables Subsidiary maintains a certain level of unsold receivables, which was $583,838 at December 30, 2023.

The allowance for credit losses is based on our assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The allowance is determined by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of the accounts receivable, current economic conditions and reasonable forecasted financial information that may affect a customer’s ability to pay.

Leases [Abstract]  
Lessee, Operating Leases Leases
We lease certain manufacturing facilities, office space and machinery and equipment globally. At inception we evaluate whether a contractual arrangement contains a lease. Specifically, we consider whether we control the underlying asset and have the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits or outputs from the asset. If the contractual arrangement contains a lease, we then determine the classification of the lease, operating or finance, using the classification criteria described in ASC 842. We then determine the term of the lease based on terms and conditions of the contractual arrangement, including whether the options to extend or terminate the lease are reasonably certain to be exercised. We have elected to not separate lease components from non-lease components, such as common area maintenance charges and instead, account for the lease and non-lease components as a single component.
Our lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and our lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. Operating lease ROU assets are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Finance lease ROU assets are included in Property, plant and equipment and finance lease liabilities are included in Accrued liabilities and other, and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Operating lease cost is included in Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Finance lease cost is included in Cost of sales, Selling, general and administrative and Interest on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.
The ROU assets and lease liabilities for both operating and finance leases are recognized as of the commencement date at the net present value of the fixed minimum lease payments over the term of the lease, using the discount rate described below. Variable lease payments are recorded in the period in which the obligation for the payment is incurred. Variable lease payments based on an index or rate are initially measured using the index or rate as of the commencement date of the lease and included in the fixed minimum lease payments. For short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less as of the commencement date, we do not recognize a ROU asset or lease liability on our balance sheet; we recognize expense as the lease payments are made over the lease term.

The discount rate used to calculate the present value of our leases is the rate implicit in the lease. If the information necessary to determine the rate implicit in the lease is not available, we use our incremental borrowing rate for collateralized debt, which is determined using our credit rating and other information available as of the lease commencement date.

The components of lease expense were as follows:

Lessee, Finance Leases Leases
We lease certain manufacturing facilities, office space and machinery and equipment globally. At inception we evaluate whether a contractual arrangement contains a lease. Specifically, we consider whether we control the underlying asset and have the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits or outputs from the asset. If the contractual arrangement contains a lease, we then determine the classification of the lease, operating or finance, using the classification criteria described in ASC 842. We then determine the term of the lease based on terms and conditions of the contractual arrangement, including whether the options to extend or terminate the lease are reasonably certain to be exercised. We have elected to not separate lease components from non-lease components, such as common area maintenance charges and instead, account for the lease and non-lease components as a single component.
Our lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and our lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. Operating lease ROU assets are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Finance lease ROU assets are included in Property, plant and equipment and finance lease liabilities are included in Accrued liabilities and other, and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Operating lease cost is included in Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Finance lease cost is included in Cost of sales, Selling, general and administrative and Interest on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.
The ROU assets and lease liabilities for both operating and finance leases are recognized as of the commencement date at the net present value of the fixed minimum lease payments over the term of the lease, using the discount rate described below. Variable lease payments are recorded in the period in which the obligation for the payment is incurred. Variable lease payments based on an index or rate are initially measured using the index or rate as of the commencement date of the lease and included in the fixed minimum lease payments. For short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less as of the commencement date, we do not recognize a ROU asset or lease liability on our balance sheet; we recognize expense as the lease payments are made over the lease term.

The discount rate used to calculate the present value of our leases is the rate implicit in the lease. If the information necessary to determine the rate implicit in the lease is not available, we use our incremental borrowing rate for collateralized debt, which is determined using our credit rating and other information available as of the lease commencement date.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]  
Goodwill And Intangible Assets Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Effective October 1, 2023, we made a change to our reporting structure to separate our former Aircraft Controls operating segment into two operating segments, Military Aircraft and Commercial Aircraft, which also represent reporting units for purposes of assessing goodwill. We performed an impairment test consistent with the rules set forth under ASC 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other,” by performing a quantitative analysis on the former reporting unit. Following this test, the Company reassigned the goodwill from the former Aircraft Controls reporting unit to its new reporting units using a relative fair value allocation approach. We then performed quantitative goodwill impairment tests on each of the new reporting units. Quantitative testing requires a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. We principally use the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. The discounted cash flow method incorporates various assumptions, the most significant being projected cash flows (inclusive of projected revenue growth rates and operating margins), the terminal growth rate and the discount rate. Management projects revenue growth rates, operating margins and cash flows based on each reporting unit's current business, expected developments and operational strategies typically over a five-year period. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and an impairment loss must be measured. The results of our quantitative assessments showed the fair value of the two new reporting units, Military Aircraft and Commercial Aircraft, exceeded their carrying value; and therefore, goodwill was not impaired.

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

Derivative Instruments and Hedges, Assets [Abstract]  
Derivative Financial Instruments Derivative Financial Instruments
We principally use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign exchange risk related to foreign operations and foreign currency transactions and interest rate risk associated with long-term debt. We enter into derivative financial instruments with a number of major financial institutions to minimize counterparty credit risk.

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments
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, including the Philippine peso, we had outstanding foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of $2,792 at December 30, 2023. These contracts mature at various times through March 1, 2024.

We use forward currency contracts to hedge our net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. As of December 30, 2023, we had no outstanding net investment hedges.

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 December 30, 2023, we had no outstanding interest rate swaps.

Foreign currency contracts, net investment hedges and interest rate swaps 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) ("AOCIL"). These deferred gains and losses are reclassified into the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings, as necessary, during the periods in which the related payments or receipts affect earnings. However, to the extent the foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps 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 three months of 2024 or 2023.
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
We also have foreign currency exposure on balances, primarily intercompany, that are denominated in a foreign currency 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 have foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of $149,110 at December 30, 2023. 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 and 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.

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, except for the acquisition contingent consideration, which is classified as Level 3:

At December 30, 2023, the fair value of long-term debt was $893,656 compared to its carrying value of $924,000. 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.

Commitments and Contingencies 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 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 $19,285 related to standby letters of credit issued by banks to third parties on our behalf at December 30, 2023.
