PART I
Item 1. Business
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.

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 TRW’s 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

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.

Table of Contents

At the time of the spin-off, EnPro’s 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, Coltec’s 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 Coltec’s 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 Coltec’s 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.

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.

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.

Table of Contents

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


Table of Contents

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.

Table of Contents

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 company’s 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 Coltec’s 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 Coltec’s 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 Coltec’s 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 Coltec’s aerospace business were successful, it could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

(1)  Although three of the buildings are owned, the land at this facility is leased.
 
(2)  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.

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


Table of Contents

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 Kemper’s 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 judge’s 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


Table of Contents

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.
