Woodward, Inc. Changes to Aerospace and Energy
Financial Reporting Segments
Fort Collins, Colo., November 7, 2011—Woodward, Inc. (NASDAQ:WWD) today announced that the company will now report its financial results through two reporting segments: Aerospace and Energy. This change will be reflected in the reported results for the fourth quarter and full year ended September 30, 2011.
“We have been expanding our focus on the broader control solution requirements of the aerospace and energy markets. This has led us to new and more integrated systems offerings and opportunities across our businesses for organic growth,” explained Thomas A. Gendron, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We are modifying our external reporting segments to reflect this coordinated approach to these strategic markets.”
Aerospace
Woodward’s Aerospace segment is a leader in controls for aircraft propulsion systems, as well as
motion control and actuation systems for critical aerospace and defense platforms. The Aerospace
segment combines the aircraft propulsion portion of the former Turbine Systems segment with the
former Airframe Systems segment.
The Aerospace segment designs, produces and services high-performance fuel, air and combustion systems, cockpit controls, and flight and utility surface actuation systems. The Aerospace segment’s systems and components are on the world’s leading fixed wing and rotorcraft platforms in the commercial, business and military aerospace markets. In addition, the Aerospace segment produces critical motion control systems for weapons and ground defense systems.

Energy
Woodward’s Energy segment focuses on setting the global standard for control systems used in:
| • | energy resource extraction, transportation and processing, |
| • | electricity generation, distribution, and storage, and |
| • | locomotives, ships, and alternative-fuel vehicles. |
Woodward’s Energy segment combines the former Engine Systems and Electrical Power Systems segments with the industrial turbine portion of the former Turbine Systems segment.
The Energy segment designs, produces, and services high-performance fuel, air and combustion systems, motion control products, and electrical power conversion and management systems. The Energy segment’s systems and products control industrial gas and steam turbines, reciprocating engines, compressors, wind turbines, electrical power equipment, and other energy-related industrial equipment.
The company has included later in this press release certain unaudited historical financial results for fiscal years 2009 and 2010, as well as quarterly data for fiscal 2010 and the first three quarters of fiscal 2011, which have been revised to reflect the new segment reporting structure. The segment changes do not impact the company’s audited consolidated balance sheet, statement of income, or cash flows.
