PART I
Overview
We are one of the largest worldwide suppliers of components,
systems and services to the commercial, regional, business and
general aviation markets. We are also a leading supplier of
systems and products to the global military and space markets.
Our business is conducted on a global basis with manufacturing,
service and sales undertaken in various locations throughout the
world. Our products and services are principally sold to
customers in North America, Europe and Asia.
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on
May 2, 1912 as the successor to a business founded in 1870.
Our principal executive offices are located at Four Coliseum
Centre, 2730 West Tyvola Road, Charlotte, North Carolina 28217
(telephone 704-423-7000).
We maintain an Internet site at http://www.goodrich.com. The
information contained at our Internet site is not incorporated
by reference in this report, and you should not consider it a
part of this report. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K,
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on
Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports, are
available free of charge on our Internet site as soon as
reasonably practicable after they are filed with, or furnished
to, the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, we
maintain a corporate governance page on our Internet site that
includes key information about our corporate governance
initiatives, including our Guidelines on Governance, the
charters for our standing board committees and our Business Code
of Conduct. These materials are available to any shareholder who
requests them.
Unless otherwise noted herein, disclosures in this Annual Report
on Form 10-K relate only to our continuing operations. Our
discontinued operations consist of the Engineered Industrial
Products segment, which was spun-off to shareholders in May
2002, the Avionics business, which was divested in March 2003,
and the Passenger Restraints business, which ceased operating
during the first quarter of 2003.
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms we,
our, us, Company and
Goodrich as used herein refer to Goodrich
Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Acquisition of TRWs Aeronautical Systems Businesses
On October 1, 2002, we completed our acquisition of TRW
Inc.s Aeronautical Systems businesses. The acquired
businesses design and manufacture commercial and military
aerospace systems and equipment, including engine controls,
flight controls, power systems, cargo systems, hoists and
winches and actuation systems. At the time of acquisition, these
businesses employed approximately 6,200 employees in
22 facilities in nine countries, including manufacturing
and service operations in the United Kingdom, France, Germany,
Canada, the United States and several Asia/ Pacific countries.
The purchase price for these businesses, after giving effect to
post-closing purchase price adjustments, was approximately
$1.4 billion. We financed the acquisition through a
$1.5 billion, 364-day credit facility provided by some of
our existing lenders. In the fourth quarter of 2002, we repaid
$1.3 billion of the credit facility using proceeds from an
offering of our common stock for net proceeds of
$216.2 million, the issuance of $800 million of 5 and
10-year notes for net proceeds of $793.1 million, cash flow
from operations and the sale of non-operating assets. During the
first quarter 2003, we repaid the balance of the facility with
funds generated from
1
the sale of the Noveon International, Inc. payment-in-kind notes
(Noveon PIK Notes) and a portion of the proceeds from the sale
of our Avionics business.
Subsequent to the acquisition, we submitted claims to Northrop
Grumman Space & Mission Systems Corp. (Northrop
Grumman), which acquired TRW, for reimbursement of certain
liabilities and obligations that were retained by TRW under the
Master Agreement of Purchase and Sale (Purchase Agreement), but
which were administered by us after the closing. We entered into
a partial settlement with Northrop Grumman on December 27,
2004. Under the terms of the partial settlement agreement,
Northrop Grumman paid us $99 million to settle certain
claims that were made against it under the Purchase Agreement
relating to customer warranty and other contract claims for
products designed, manufactured or sold by TRW prior to the
acquisition, as well as certain other miscellaneous claims.
Under the terms of the settlement agreement, except as described
below, we have, among other things:
|
|
|
| |
|
assumed certain liabilities associated with future customer
warranty and other contract claims for products designed,
manufactured or sold by TRW prior to the acquisition; |
| |
| |
|
released Northrop Grumman from any additional claims that may be
made by us against it relating to such liabilities; and |
| |
| |
|
released Northrop Grumman from certain claims for damages
arising in connection with a breach by TRW of its
representations, warranties and pre-acquisition covenants under
the Purchase Agreement. |
The settlement agreement does not release Northrop Grumman from
any claims that we may have against it relating to the A380
actuation systems development program and certain other
liabilities retained by TRW under the Purchase Agreement.
As a result of the partial settlement, we recorded a charge of
$23.4 million to Cost of Sales representing the amount by
which our estimated undiscounted future liabilities plus our
receivable from Northrop Grumman for these matters exceeded the
settlement amount.
Discontinued Operations

|
Sale of the Avionics Business |
On March 28, 2003, we completed the sale of our Avionics
business to L-3 Communications Corporation for
$188 million, or $181 million net of fees and
expenses. The gain on the sale was $63 million after tax,
which was reported as income from discontinued operations. The
Avionics business marketed a variety of state-of-the art
avionics instruments and systems primarily for general aviation,
business jet and military aircraft. Prior period financial
statements have been reclassified to reflect the Avionics
business as a discontinued operation.
|
|
|
Passenger Restraint Systems |
During the first quarter of 2003, our Passenger Restraint
Systems (PRS) business ceased operations. Prior period financial
statements have been reclassified to reflect the PRS business as
a discontinued operation.
|
|
|
Spin-off of Engineered Industrial Products |
On May 31, 2002, we completed the tax-free spin-off of our
Engineered Industrial Products (EIP) segment. The spin-off
was effected through a tax-free distribution to our shareholders
of all of the capital stock of EnPro Industries, Inc. (EnPro),
then a wholly owned subsidiary of Goodrich. In the spin-off, our
shareholders received one share of EnPro common stock for every
five shares of our common stock owned on the record date,
May 28, 2002.
2
At the time of the spin-off, EnPros only material asset
was all of the capital stock and certain indebtedness of Coltec
Industries Inc (Coltec). Coltec and its subsidiaries owned
substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the EIP
segment, including the associated asbestos liabilities and
related insurance.
Prior to the spin-off, Coltec also owned and operated an
aerospace business. Before completing the spin-off,
Coltecs aerospace business assumed all intercompany
balances outstanding between Coltec and us and Coltec then
transferred to us by way of a dividend all of the assets,
liabilities and operations of Coltecs aerospace business,
including these assumed balances. Following this transfer and
prior to the spin-off, all of the capital stock of Coltec was
contributed to EnPro, with the result that at the time of the
spin-off Coltec was a wholly-owned subsidiary of EnPro.
In connection with the spin-off, we and EnPro entered into a
distribution agreement, a tax matters agreement, a transition
services agreement, an employee matters agreement and an
indemnification agreement, which govern the relationship between
us and EnPro after the spin-off and provide for the allocation
of employee benefits, tax and other liabilities and obligations
attributable to periods prior to the spin-off.
The spin-off was recorded as a dividend and resulted in a
reduction in shareholders equity of $409.1 million
representing the recorded value of net assets of the business
distributed, including cash of $47 million. The
distribution agreement provided for certain post-distribution
adjustments relating to the amount of cash to be included in the
net assets distributed, which adjustments resulted in a cash
payment by EnPro to us of $0.6 million.
The $150 million of outstanding Coltec Capital
Trust 51/4 percent
convertible trust preferred securities (TIDES) that were
reflected in liabilities of discontinued operations prior to the
spin-off remained outstanding as part of the EnPro capital
structure following the spin-off. At December 31, 2004,
$145 million of the TIDES remained outstanding. The TIDES
are convertible into shares of both Goodrich and EnPro common
stock until April 15, 2028. We have guaranteed amounts owed
by Coltec Capital Trust with respect to the TIDES and have
guaranteed Coltecs performance of its obligations with
respect to the TIDES and the underlying Coltec convertible
subordinated debentures. EnPro, Coltec and Coltec Capital Trust
have agreed to indemnify us for any costs and liabilities
arising under or related to the TIDES after the spin-off.
Business Segments
We have three business segments: Airframe Systems, Engine
Systems and Electronic Systems. Effective January 1, 2004,
the customer services business unit that primarily supports
aftermarket products for the businesses that were acquired as
part of Aeronautical Systems was transferred from the Airframe
Systems segment to the Engine Systems segment. Also effective
January 1, 2004, costs and sales associated with products
or services provided to customers through the customer services
business are reflected in the business providing the product or
service rather than the customer services business. Segment
financial results and amounts for prior periods have been
reclassified to reflect the new organization and reclassified to
conform to the current year presentation.
For financial information about the sales, operating income and
assets of our segments, as well as the sales attributable to our
five product categories, see Note O to our Consolidated
Financial Statements.
A summary of the products and services provided by our business
segments is presented below.

systems that measure and manage aircraft fuel and monitor oil
debris, engine and transmission, and structural health. The
segments products also include ice detection systems, test
equipment, aircraft lighting systems, landing gear cables and
harnesses, satellite control, data management and payload
systems, launch and missile telemetry systems, airborne
surveillance and reconnaissance systems, laser warning systems,
aircraft evacuation systems, de-icing systems, ejection seats,
and crew and attendant seating. The power systems business unit,
which was acquired as part of Aeronautical Systems, provides
systems that produce and control electrical power for commercial
and military aircraft, including electric generators for both
main and back-up electrical power, electric starters and
electric starter generating systems and power management and
distribution systems. Also acquired as part of Aeronautical
Systems was the hoists and winches business unit, which provides
airborne hoists and winches used on both helicopters and fixed
wing aircraft, and a business that produces engine shafts
primarily for helicopters.

Backlog
At December 31, 2004, we had a backlog of approximately
$3.5 billion, of which approximately 76 percent is
expected to be filled during 2005. The amount of backlog at
December 31, 2003 was approximately $3.2 billion.
Backlog includes fixed, firm contracts that have not been
shipped and for which cancellation is not anticipated. Backlog
is subject to delivery delays or program cancellations, which
are beyond our control.

Raw Materials
Raw materials and components used in the manufacture of our
products, including aluminum, steel and carbon fiber, are
available from a number of manufacturers and are generally in
adequate supply.
Environmental
We are subject to various domestic and international
environmental laws and regulations, which may require that we
investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal
of materials at sites associated with past and present
operations. We are currently involved in the investigation and
remediation of a number of sites under these laws. Based on
currently available information, we do not believe that future
environmental costs in excess of those accrued with respect to
such sites will have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition. There can be no assurance, however, that additional
future developments, administrative actions or liabilities
relating to environmental matters will not have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in a
given period.
For additional information concerning environmental matters, see
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Environmental.
Research and Development
We perform research and development under company-funded
programs for commercial products and under contracts with
others. Research and development under contracts with others is
performed on both military and commercial products. Total
research and development expense from continuing operations in
the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was
$348.3 million, $289.6 million and
$190.7 million, respectively. Of these amounts,
$99.5 million, $87.9 million, and $47.3 million,
respectively, were funded by customers. Research and development
expense in 2002 included $12.5 million of in-process
research and development expense written-off as part of the
Aeronautical Systems acquisition.
Intellectual Property
We own or are licensed to use various intellectual property
rights, including patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade
secrets. While such intellectual property rights are important
to us, we do not believe that the loss of any individual
property right or group of related rights would have a material
adverse effect on our overall business or on any of our
operating segments.
Human Resources
As of December 31, 2004, we had approximately 14,700
employees in the United States. Additionally, we employed
approximately 6,600 people in other countries. We believe
that we have good relationships with our employees. The hourly
employees who are unionized are covered by collective bargaining
agreements with a number of labor unions and with varying
contract termination dates through July 2009. There were no
material work stoppages during 2004.
Foreign Operations
We are engaged in business in foreign markets. Our manufacturing
and service facilities are located in Australia, Canada, China,
England, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Poland,
Scotland and Singapore. We market our products and services
through sales subsidiaries and distributors in a number of
foreign countries. We also have joint venture agreements with
various foreign companies.
7
Currency fluctuations, tariffs and similar import limitations,
price controls and labor regulations can affect our foreign
operations, including foreign affiliates. Other potential
limitations on our foreign operations include expropriation,
nationalization, restrictions on foreign investments or their
transfers and additional political and economic risks. In
addition, the transfer of funds from foreign operations could be
impaired by the unavailability of dollar exchange or other
restrictive regulations that foreign governments could enact. We
do not believe that such restrictions or regulations would have
a material adverse effect on our business, in the aggregate.
For financial information about U.S. and foreign sales and
assets, see Note O to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Certain Business Risks
Our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows can be impacted by a number of factors, including but
not limited to those set forth below and elsewhere in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K, any one of which could cause
our actual results to vary materially from recent results or
from our anticipated future results.
|
|
|
Our future success is dependent on demand for and market
acceptance of new commercial and military aircraft
programs. |
We are currently under contract to supply components and systems
for a number of new commercial and military aircraft programs,
including the Airbus A380 and A350, the Boeing 787
Dreamliner, the Embraer 190 and the Lockheed
Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. We have made and will
continue to make substantial investments and incur substantial
development costs in connection with these programs. We cannot
assure you that each of these programs will enter full-scale
production as expected or that demand for the aircraft will be
sufficient to allow us to recoup our investment in these
programs. If any of these programs are not successful, it could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations.
|
|
|
The market segments we serve are cyclical and sensitive to
domestic and foreign economic considerations that could
adversely affect our business and financial results. |
The market segments in which we sell our products are, to
varying degrees, cyclical and have experienced periodic
downturns in demand. For example, certain of our commercial
aviation products sold to aircraft manufacturers have
experienced downturns during periods of slowdowns in the
commercial airline industry and during periods of weak general
economic conditions, as demand for new aircraft typically
declines during these periods. Although we believe that
aftermarket demand for many of our products may reduce our
exposure to these business downturns, we have experienced these
conditions in our business in the recent past and may experience
downturns in the future.
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 adversely
impacted the U.S. and world economies and a wide range of
industries. These terrorist attacks, the allied military
response and subsequent developments may lead to future acts of
terrorism and additional hostilities, including possible
retaliatory attacks on sovereign nations, as well as financial,
economic and political instability. While the precise effects of
such instability on our industry and our business is difficult
to determine, it may negatively impact our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.

|
|
|
Current conditions in the airline industry could adversely
affect our business and financial results. |
The downturn in the commercial air transport market segment, the
lingering impact of the 2001 terrorist attacks, increases in
fuel costs and heightened competition from low cost carriers
have adversely affected the financial condition of some
commercial airlines. Recently, several airlines have declared
bankruptcy or indicated that bankruptcy may be imminent. A
portion of our sales are derived from the sale of products
directly to airlines, and we sometimes provide sales incentives
to airlines and record unamortized sales incentives as other
assets. If an airline declares bankruptcy, we may be unable to
collect our outstanding accounts receivable from the airline and
we may be required to record a charge related to unamortized and
unrecoverable sales incentives.
|
|
|
A significant decline in business with Airbus or Boeing
could adversely affect our business and financial
results. |
For the year ended December 31, 2004, approximately
16 percent and 13 percent of our sales were made to
Airbus and Boeing, respectively, for all categories of products,
including original equipment and aftermarket products for
commercial and military aircraft and space applications.
Accordingly, a significant reduction in purchases by either of
these customers could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
|
|
|
Demand for our defense and space-related products is
dependent upon government spending. |
Approximately 30 percent of our sales for the year ended
December 31, 2004 were derived from the military and space
market segments. Included in that category are direct and
indirect sales to the United States government, which
represented approximately 20 percent of our sales for the
year ended December 31, 2004. The military and space market
segments are largely dependent upon government budgets,
particularly the U.S. defense budget. We cannot assure you
that an increase in defense spending will be allocated to
programs that would benefit our business. Moreover, we cannot
assure you that new military aircraft programs in which we
participate will enter full-scale production as expected. A
change in levels of defense spending could curtail or enhance
our prospects in these market segments, depending upon the
programs affected. A change in the level of anticipated new
product development costs for military aircraft could negatively
impact our business.
|
|
|
Competitive pressures may adversely affect our business
and financial results. |
The aerospace industry in which we operate is highly
competitive. We compete worldwide with a number of United States
and foreign companies that are both larger and smaller than we
are in terms of resources and market share, and some of which
are our customers. While we are the market and technology leader
in many of our products, in certain areas some of our
competitors may have more extensive or more specialized
engineering, manufacturing or marketing capabilities and lower
manufacturing cost. As a result, these competitors may be able
to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and
changes in customer requirements or may be able to devote
greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of
their products than we can.
|
|
|
The significant consolidation occurring in the aerospace
industry could adversely affect our business and financial
results. |
The aerospace industry in which we operate has been experiencing
significant consolidation among suppliers, including us and our
competitors, and the customers we serve. Commercial airlines
have increasingly been merging and creating global alliances to
achieve greater
9
economies of scale and enhance their geographic reach. Aircraft
manufacturers have made acquisitions to expand their product
portfolios to better compete in the global marketplace. In
addition, aviation suppliers have been consolidating and forming
alliances to broaden their product and integrated system
offerings and achieve critical mass. This supplier consolidation
is in part attributable to aircraft manufacturers and airlines
more frequently awarding long-term sole source or preferred
supplier contracts to the most capable suppliers, thus reducing
the total number of suppliers from whom components and systems
are purchased. Our business and financial results may be
adversely impacted as a result of consolidation by our
competitors or customers.
|
|
|
Expenses related to employee and retiree medical and
pension benefits may continue to rise. |
We have periodically experienced significant increases in
expenses related to our employee and retiree medical and pension
benefits. Although we have taken action seeking to contain these
cost increases, including making material changes to some of
these plans, there are risks that our expenses will rise as a
result of continued increases in medical costs due to increased
usage of medical benefits and medical cost inflation in the
United States. Pension expense may increase if investment
returns on our pension plan assets do not meet our long-term
return assumption, if there are further reductions in the
discount rate used to determine the present value of our benefit
obligation, or if other actuarial assumptions are not realized.
|
|
|
The aerospace industry is highly regulated. |
The aerospace industry is highly regulated in the United States
by the Federal Aviation Administration and in other countries by
similar regulatory agencies. We must be certified by these
agencies and, in some cases, by individual original equipment
manufacturers in order to engineer and service systems and
components used in specific aircraft models. If material
authorizations or approvals were revoked or suspended, our
operations would be adversely affected. New or more stringent
governmental regulations may be adopted, or industry oversight
heightened, in the future, and we may incur significant expenses
to comply with any new regulations or any heightened industry
oversight.
|
|
|
We may have liabilities relating to environmental laws and
regulations that could adversely affect our financial
results. |
We are subject to various domestic and international
environmental laws and regulations which may require that we
investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal
of materials at sites associated with past and present
operations. We are currently involved in the investigation and
remediation of a number of sites under these laws. Based on
currently available information, we do not believe that future
environmental costs in excess of those accrued with respect to
such sites will have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition. There can be no assurance, however, that additional
future developments, administrative actions or liabilities
relating to environmental matters will not have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in a
given period.
|
|
|
Third parties may not satisfy their contractual
obligations to indemnify us for environmental and other claims
arising out of our divested businesses. |
In connection with the divestiture of our tire, vinyl and other
businesses, we received contractual rights of indemnification
from third parties for environmental and other claims arising
out of the divested businesses. If these third parties do not
honor their indemnification obligations to us, it could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of
operations and cash flow.
10
|
|
|
Any product liability claims in excess of insurance may
adversely affect us. |
Our operations expose us to potential liability for personal
injury or death as a result of the failure of an aircraft
component that has been serviced by us, the failure of an
aircraft component designed or manufactured by us, or the
irregularity of products processed or distributed by us. While
we believe that our liability insurance is adequate to protect
us from these liabilities, our insurance may not cover all
liabilities. Additionally, insurance coverage may not be
available in the future at a cost acceptable to us. Any material
liability not covered by insurance or for which third-party
indemnification is not available could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.
|
|
|
Any material product warranty obligations may adversely
affect us. |
Our operations expose us to potential liability for warranty
claims made by third parties with respect to aircraft components
that have been designed, manufactured, distributed or serviced
by us. Any material product warranty obligations could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
|
|
|
Our operations depend on our production facilities
throughout the world. These production facilities are subject to
physical and other risks that could disrupt production. |
Our production facilities could be damaged or disrupted by a
natural disaster, labor strike, war, political unrest or
terrorist activity. Although we have obtained property damage
and business interruption insurance, a major catastrophe such as
an earthquake or other natural disaster at any of our sites, or
significant labor strikes, work stoppages, political unrest, war
or terrorist activities in any of the areas where we conduct
operations, could result in a prolonged interruption of our
business. Any disruption resulting from these events could cause
significant delays in shipments of products and the loss of
sales and customers. We cannot assure you that we will have
insurance to adequately compensate us for any of these events.
|
|
|
We have significant international operations and assets
and are therefore subject to additional financial and regulatory
risks. |
We have operations and assets throughout the world. In addition,
we sell our products and services in foreign countries and seek
to increase our level of international business activity.
Accordingly, we are subject to various risks, including:
U.S.-imposed embargoes of sales to specific countries; foreign
import controls (which may be arbitrarily imposed or enforced);
price and currency controls; exchange rate fluctuations;
dividend remittance restrictions; expropriation of assets; war,
civil uprisings and riots; government instability; the necessity
of obtaining governmental approval for new and continuing
products and operations; legal systems of decrees, laws, taxes,
regulations, interpretations and court decisions that are not
always fully developed and that may be retroactively or
arbitrarily applied; and difficulties in managing a global
enterprise. We may also be subject to unanticipated income
taxes, excise duties, import taxes, export taxes or other
governmental assessments. Any of these events could result in a
loss of business or other unexpected costs that could reduce
sales or profits and have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal
business operations. These risks include transactions
denominated in foreign currencies and the translation of certain
non-functional currency balances of our subsidiaries. Our
international operations also expose us to translation risk when
the local currency financial statements are translated to
U.S. Dollars, our parent companys functional
currency. As currency exchange rates fluctuate, translation of
the statements of income of international businesses into
U.S. Dollars will affect comparability of revenues and
expenses between years.

|
Creditors may seek to recover from us if the businesses
that we spun off are unable to meet their obligations in the
future, including obligations to asbestos claimants. |
On May 31, 2002, we completed the spin-off of our wholly
owned subsidiary, EnPro Industries, Inc. (EnPro). Prior to the
spin-off, we contributed the capital stock of Coltec Industries
Inc to EnPro. At the time of the spin-off, two subsidiaries of
Coltec were defendants in a significant number of personal
injury claims relating to alleged asbestos-containing products
sold by those subsidiaries. It is possible that asbestos-related
claims might be asserted against us on the theory that we have
some responsibility for the asbestos-related liabilities of
EnPro, Coltec or its subsidiaries, even though the activities
that led to those claims occurred prior to our ownership of any
of those subsidiaries. Also, it is possible that a claim might
be asserted against us that Coltecs dividend of its
aerospace business to us prior to the spin-off was made at a
time when Coltec was insolvent or caused Coltec to become
insolvent. Such a claim could seek recovery from us on behalf of
Coltec of the fair market value of the dividend.
A limited number of asbestos-related claims have been asserted
against us as successor to Coltec or one of its
subsidiaries. We believe that we have substantial legal defenses
against these claims, as well as against any other claims that
may be asserted against us on the theories described above. In
addition, the agreement between EnPro and us that was used to
effectuate the spin-off provides us with an indemnification from
EnPro covering, among other things, these liabilities. The
success of any such asbestos-related claims would likely
require, as a practical matter, that Coltecs subsidiaries
were unable to satisfy their asbestos-related liabilities and
that Coltec was found to be responsible for these liabilities
and was unable to meet its financial obligations. We believe any
such claims would be without merit and that Coltec was solvent
both before and after the dividend of its aerospace business to
us. If we are ultimately found to be responsible for the
asbestos-related liabilities of Coltecs subsidiaries, we
believe it would not have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition, but could have a material adverse effect on
our results of operations and cash flows in a particular period.
However, because of the uncertainty as to the number, timing and
payments related to future asbestos-related claims, there can be
no assurance that any such claims will not have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows. If a claim related to the dividend of
Coltecs aerospace business were successful, it could have
a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
We operate manufacturing plants and service and other facilities
throughout the world.

Although three of the buildings are owned, the land at this
facility is leased. |
| |

The building in Aurora is leased until July 31, 2005. We
have transferred all of the manufacturing at this facility to
other sites. The remaining support functions will be relocated
to a new site prior to the end of the lease. |
Our headquarters operation is in Charlotte, North Carolina. In
May 2000, we leased approximately 110,000 square feet for
an initial term of ten years, with two five-year options to
2020. The offices provide space for the corporate headquarters
as well as the headquarters of our Engine Systems and Electronic
Systems segments.
We and our subsidiaries are lessees under a number of cancelable
and non-cancelable leases for real properties, used primarily
for administrative, maintenance, repair and overhaul of
aircraft, aircraft wheels and brakes and evacuation systems and
warehouse operations and for certain equipment.
In the opinion of management, our principal properties, whether
owned or leased, are suitable and adequate for the purposes for
which they are used and are suitably maintained for such
purposes. See Item 3, Legal
Proceedings-Environmental for a description of proceedings
under applicable environmental laws regarding some of our
properties.
|
|
| Item 3. |
Legal Proceedings |
General
There are pending or threatened against us or our subsidiaries
various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings, all
arising from the ordinary course of business with respect to
commercial, product liability, asbestos and environmental
matters, which seek remedies or damages. We believe that any
liability that may finally be determined with respect to
commercial and non-asbestos product liability claims should not
have a material effect on our consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flow. From time to time, we are
also involved in legal proceedings as a plaintiff involving tax,
contract, patent protection, environmental and other matters.
Gain contingencies, if any, are recognized when they are
realized. Legal costs are generally expensed when incurred.
13
Environmental
We are subject to various domestic and international
environmental laws and regulations which may require that we
investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal
of materials at sites associated with past and present
operations, including sites at which we have been identified as
a potentially responsible party under the federal Superfund laws
and comparable state laws. We are currently involved in the
investigation and remediation of a number of sites under these
laws.
The measurement of environmental liabilities by us is based on
currently available facts, present laws and regulations and
current technology. Such estimates take into consideration our
prior experience in site investigation and remediation, the data
concerning cleanup costs available from other companies and
regulatory authorities and the professional judgment of our
environmental specialists in consultation with outside
environmental specialists, when necessary. Estimates of our
environmental liabilities are further subject to uncertainties
regarding the nature and extent of site contamination, the range
of remediation alternatives available, evolving remediation
standards, imprecise engineering evaluations and estimates of
appropriate cleanup technology, methodology and cost, the extent
of corrective actions that may be required and the number and
financial condition of other potentially responsible parties, as
well as the extent of their responsibility for the remediation.
Accordingly, as investigation and remediation of these sites
proceed, it is likely that adjustments in our accruals will be
necessary to reflect new information. The amounts of any such
adjustments could have a material adverse effect on our results
of operations in a given period, but the amounts, and the
possible range of loss in excess of the amounts accrued, are not
reasonably estimable. Based on currently available information,
however, we do not believe that future environmental costs in
excess of those accrued with respect to sites for which we have
been identified as a potentially responsible party are likely to
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. There
can be no assurance, however, that additional future
developments, administrative actions or liabilities relating to
environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on
our results of operations or cash flows in a given period.
Environmental liabilities, including legal costs, are recorded
when our liability is probable and the costs are reasonably
estimable, which generally is not later than at completion of a
feasibility study or when we have recommended a remedy or have
committed to an appropriate plan of action. The liabilities are
reviewed periodically and, as investigation and remediation
proceed, adjustments are made as necessary. Liabilities for
losses from environmental remediation obligations do not
consider the effects of inflation and anticipated expenditures
are not discounted to their present value. The liabilities are
not reduced by possible recoveries from insurance carriers or
other third parties, but do reflect anticipated allocations
among potentially responsible parties at federal Superfund sites
or similar state-managed sites and an assessment of the
likelihood that such parties will fulfill their obligations at
such sites.
Our Consolidated Balance Sheet included an accrued liability for
environmental remediation obligations of $88.5 million and
$87.8 million at December 31, 2004 and
December 31, 2003, respectively. At December 31, 2004
and December 31, 2003, $16.2 million and
$17.6 million, respectively, of the accrued liability for
environmental remediation was included in current liabilities as
Accrued Expenses. At December 31, 2004 and
December 31, 2003, $29.6 million and
$24.9 million, respectively, was associated with ongoing
operations and $58.9 million and $62.9 million,
respectively, was associated with businesses previously disposed
of or discontinued.
The timing of expenditures depends on a number of factors that
vary by site, including the nature and extent of contamination,
the number of potentially responsible parties, the timing of
regulatory approvals, the complexity of the investigation and
remediation, and the
14
standards for remediation. We expect that we will expend present
accruals over many years, and will complete remediation in less
than 30 years at all sites for which we have been
identified as a potentially responsible party. This period
includes operation and monitoring costs that are generally
incurred over 15 to 25 years.
Asbestos
We and a number of our subsidiaries have been named as
defendants in various actions by plaintiffs alleging injury or
death as a result of exposure to asbestos fibers in products, or
which may have been present in our facilities. A number of these
cases involve maritime claims, which have been and are expected
to continue to be administratively dismissed by the court. These
actions primarily relate to previously owned businesses. We
believe that pending and reasonably anticipated future actions,
net of anticipated insurance recoveries, are not likely to have
a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows. There can be no assurance, however,
that future legislative or other developments will not have a
material effect on our results of operations in a given period.
We believe that we have substantial insurance coverage available
to us related to any remaining claims. However, the primary
layer of insurance coverage for some of these claims is provided
by the Kemper Insurance Companies. Kemper has indicated that,
due to capital constraints and downgrades from various rating
agencies, it has ceased underwriting new business and now
focuses on administering policy commitments from prior years.
Kemper has also indicated that it is currently operating under a
run-off plan approved by the Illinois Department of
Insurance. We cannot predict the impact of Kempers
financial position on the availability of the Kemper insurance.
In addition, a portion of our primary and excess layers of
general liability insurance coverage for some of these claims
was provided by insurance subsidiaries of London United
Investments plc (KWELM). KWELM is insolvent and in the process
of distributing its assets and dissolving. In September 2004, we
entered into a settlement agreement with KWELM pursuant to which
we agreed to give up our rights with respect to the KWELM
insurance policies in exchange for $18.3 million. The
settlement amount is subject to increase under certain
circumstances. The settlement represents a negotiated payment
for our loss of insurance coverage, as we no longer have the
KWELM insurance available for claims that would have qualified
for coverage. The settlement amount of $18.3 million was
recorded as a deferred settlement credit.
Tax
In 2000, Coltec, our former subsidiary, made a
$113.7 million payment to the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) for an income tax assessment and the related accrued
interest arising out of certain capital loss deductions and tax
credits taken in 1996. On February 13, 2001, Coltec filed
suit against the U.S. Government in the U.S. Court of
Federal Claims seeking a refund of this payment. The trial
portion of the case was completed in May 2004. On
November 2, 2004, we were notified that the trial
court ruled in favor of Coltec and ordered the Government to
refund federal tax payments of $82.8 million to Coltec.
This tax refund will also bear interest to the date of payment.
As of December 31, 2004, the interest amount was
approximately $46.6 million before tax, or
$30.3 million after tax. A final judgment was entered in
this case by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims on
February 15, 2005. The Government has until April 18,
2005 to appeal the decision to the United States Court of
Appeals for the Federal Circuit. If the Government does not
appeal the decision or the trial court judges decision is
ultimately upheld, we will be entitled to this tax refund and
related interest pursuant to an agreement with Coltec. If we
receive these amounts, we expect to record net income of
approximately $145 million, based on interest through
December 31, 2004, and including the release of previously
established reserves. If the IRS were to appeal the judgment and
ultimately prevail in this case, Coltec will not owe any
additional interest or taxes with respect to 1996. We may,
15
however, be required by the IRS to pay up to $32.7 million
plus accrued interest with respect to the same items claimed by
Coltec in its tax returns for 1997 through 2000. The amount of
the previously estimated liability if the IRS were to prevail
for the 1997 through 2000 period remains fully reserved.
In 2000, the IRS issued a statutory notice of deficiency
asserting that Rohr, Inc. (Rohr), our subsidiary, was liable for
$85.3 million of additional income taxes for the fiscal
years ended July 31, 1986 through 1989. In 2003, the IRS
issued an additional statutory notice of deficiency asserting
that Rohr was liable for $23 million of additional income
taxes for the fiscal years ended July 31, 1990 through
1993. The proposed assessments relate primarily to the timing of
certain tax deductions and tax credits. Rohr has filed petitions
in the U.S. Tax Court opposing the proposed assessments.
Rohr expects that these cases may be scheduled for trial in 2005
and that it will ultimately be successful in these cases. At the
time of settlement or final determination by the court, there
will be a net cash cost to us due at least in part to the
reversal of a timing item. We believe that our total net cash
cost is unlikely to exceed $100 million. We are reserved
for the estimated liability associated with these cases and as a
result, we do not expect a charge to earnings to result from the
resolution of these matters.
