2.	UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes for the year ended September 30, 2014 included in TD Group’s Form 10-K dated November 14, 2014.

ACQUISITIONS

3.	ACQUISITIONS

During the twenty-six week periods ended March 28, 2015 and March 29, 2014, the Company completed the acquisitions of the Telair Cargo Group (“Telair”), Elektro-Metall Export GmbH, and Airborne Global Inc. The Company accounted for the acquisitions using the acquisition method and included the results of operations of the acquisitions in its consolidated financial statements from the effective date of each acquisition. The Company is in the process of obtaining a third-party valuation of certain tangible and intangible assets of Telair; therefore, the values attributed to those acquired assets in the condensed consolidated financial statements are subject to adjustment. Pro forma net sales and results of operations for the acquisitions had they occurred at the beginning of the applicable twenty-six week periods ended March 28, 2015 or March 29, 2014 are not significant and, accordingly, are not provided.

The acquisitions strengthen and expand the Company’s position to design, produce and supply highly-engineered proprietary aerospace components in niche markets with significant aftermarket content and provide opportunities to create value through the application of our three core value-driven operating strategies (obtaining profitable new business, improving our cost structure, and providing highly engineered value-added products to customers). The purchase price paid for each acquisition reflects the current earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and cash flows, as well as, the future EBITDA and cash flows expected to be generated by the business, which are driven in most cases by the recurring aftermarket consumption over the life of a particular aircraft, estimated to be approximately 25-30 years.

Telair Cargo Group – On March 26, 2015, TransDigm Inc. acquired Telair for a total purchase price of approximately $730.9 million in cash, subject to purchase price adjustments. TransDigm Inc. financed the acquisition of Telair through a combination of existing cash on hand and borrowing of $75 million under its existing revolving credit facility. Telair is a global leader in aerospace on-board cargo loading and handling, restraint systems and unit load devices for a variety of commercial and military platforms with positions on a wide range of new and existing aircraft. The business consists of three major operating units: Telair International GmbH, Nordisk Aviation Products and Telair US LLC. These products fit well with TransDigm’s overall business direction. Telair International GmbH and Telair US LLC are included in TransDigm’s Power & Control segment and Nordisk Aviation Products is included in TransDigm’s Airframe segment.

The total purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon management’s estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. To the extent the purchase price exceeded the estimated fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, such excess was allocated to goodwill. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the transaction date (in thousands).


Assets acquired:
Current assets, excluding cash acquired	$	143,417
Property, plant, and equipment		16,426
Intangible assets		290,000
Goodwill		439,946
Other		1,445

Total assets acquired	$	891,234

Liabilities assumed:
Current liabilities	$	46,708
Other noncurrent liabilities		121,326

Total liabilities assumed	$	168,034


Net assets acquired	$	723,200

The Company expects that the approximately $439.9 million of goodwill recognized for the acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.

Elektro-Metall Export GmbH – On March 6, 2014, TransDigm Germany GmbH, a newly formed subsidiary of TransDigm Inc., acquired Elektro-Metall Export GmbH (“EME”) for approximately $49.6 million, which comprises $40.4 million in cash plus the assumption of approximately $9.2 million of net indebtedness. EME manufactures proprietary, highly engineered aerospace electromechanical actuators, electrical and electromechanical components and assemblies for commercial aircraft, helicopters and other specialty applications. These products fit well with TransDigm’s overall business direction. EME is included in TransDigm’s Airframe segment. The Company expects that the approximately $20.3 million of goodwill recognized for the acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.

Airborne Global Inc. – On December 19, 2013, TransDigm Inc. acquired all of the outstanding stock of Airborne Global Inc. (“Airborne”) for approximately $264.2 million in cash, which includes a purchase price adjustment of $0.3 million paid in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Airborne is the industry leading designer and manufacturer of personnel parachutes, cargo aerial delivery systems, emergency escape systems, naval decoys and other related products. These products fit well with TransDigm’s overall business direction. Airborne is included in TransDigm’s Airframe segment. The Company expects that the approximately $155.9 million of goodwill recognized for the acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

4.	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 which creates a new topic in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers.” In addition to superseding and replacing nearly all existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, ASC 606 establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model; changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time; provides new and more detailed guidance on specific topics; and expands and improves disclosures about revenue. In addition, ASU 2014-09 adds a new Subtopic to the Codification, ASC 340-40, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs: Contracts with Customers,” to provide guidance on costs related to obtaining a contract with a customer and costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer that are not in the scope of another ASC Topic. The guidance is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods, including interim periods therein, for the year ending September 30, 2018. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the update will have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows and financial statement disclosures.

At the end of each reporting period, TD Group makes an estimate of its annual effective income tax rate. The estimate used in the year-to-date period may change in subsequent periods. During the thirteen week periods ended March 28, 2015 and March 29, 2014, the effective income tax rate was 29.2% and 33.7%, respectively. During the twenty-six week periods ended March 28, 2015 and March 29, 2014, the effective income tax rate was 30.8% and 33.6%, respectively. The Company’s lower effective tax rate for the thirteen week period and the twenty-six week period ended March 28, 2015 was primarily due to foreign earnings taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate and a discrete adjustment related to agreed upon adjustments with the IRS for the fiscal year 2012 and 2013 examinations. The Company’s effective tax rate for these periods was less than the Federal statutory tax rate primarily due to the domestic manufacturing deduction, foreign earnings taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate and a discrete adjustment related to agreed upon adjustments with the IRS for the fiscal year 2012 and 2013 examinations.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S federal jurisdiction, various state and local jurisdictions as well as foreign jurisdictions located in Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Malaysia, Mexico, Norway, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations for years before fiscal 2011. Fiscal years 2012 and 2013 have been examined by the IRS and adjustments have been agreed upon. AmSafe is subject to U.S. federal examinations for 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 years. In addition, the Company is subject to state income tax examinations for fiscal years 2009 and later.

At March 28, 2015 and September 30, 2014, TD Group had $10.8 million and $13.9 million in unrecognized tax benefits, the recognition of which would have an effect of approximately $9.0 million and $13.5 million on the effective tax rate at March 28, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively. The Company believes that the tax positions that comprise the unrecognized tax benefit will be reduced by approximately $3.5 million over the next 12 months. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

9.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following tables present our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following summarizes the carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments (in thousands):


			March 28, 2015				September 30, 2014
	Level		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value

(2)	Included in Other non-current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Interest rate swaps were measured at fair value using quoted market prices for the swap interest rate indexes over the term of the swap discounted to present value versus the fixed rate of the contract. The estimated fair value of the Company’s term loans and revolver was based on information provided by the agent under the Company’s senior secured credit facility. The estimated fair values of the Company’s 2020 Notes, 2021 Notes, 2022 Notes and 2024 Notes were based upon quoted market prices.

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company is exposed to, among other things, the impact of changes in interest rates in the normal course of business. The Company’s risk management program is designed to manage the exposure and volatility arising from these risks, and utilizes derivative financial instruments to offset a portion of these risks. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only to the extent necessary to hedge identified business risks and does not enter into such transactions for trading purposes. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security with counterparties to these financial instruments and is therefore subject to credit risk in the event of nonperformance; however, the Company monitors credit risk and currently does not anticipate nonperformance by other parties. The company has agreements with each of its swap counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on the credit facility the Company could also be declared in default on its swaps, resulting in an acceleration of payment under the Swaps.

Interest rate swap agreements are used to manage interest rate risk associated with floating-rate borrowings under our credit facility. The interest rate swap agreements utilized by the Company effectively modify the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of the Company’s floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis through the expiration date of the interest rate swap agreements, thereby reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. These agreements involve the receipt of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the term of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. These derivative instruments that qualify as effective cash flow hedges under GAAP. For these cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss from the financial instruments was initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same line as the hedged item in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affected earnings.

At March 28, 2015, five forward-starting interest rate swap agreements beginning March 31, 2016 were in place to hedge the variable interest rates on the credit facility for a fixed rate based on an aggregate notional amount of $750 million through June 30, 2020. These forward-starting interest rate swap agreements will effectively convert the variable interest rate on the aggregate notional amount of the credit facility to a fixed rate of 5.8% (2.8% plus the 3% margin percentage) over the term of the interest rate swap agreements.

At March 28, 2015, three interest rate swap agreements beginning September 30, 2014 were in place to hedge the variable interest rates on the credit facility for a fixed rate based on an aggregate notional amount of $1.0 billion through June 30, 2019. These interest rate swap agreements converted the variable interest rate on the aggregate notional amount of the credit facility to a fixed rate of 5.4% (2.4% plus the 3% margin percentage) over the term of the interest rate swap agreements.

At March 28, 2015, three interest rate swap agreements were in place to swap variable rates on the credit facility for a fixed rate based on an aggregate notional amount of $353 million. These interest rate swap agreements converted the variable interest rate on the aggregate notional amount to a fixed rate of 5.17% (2.17% plus the 3% margin percentage) through June 30, 2015.

In conjunction with the refinancing of the 2011 Credit Facility, the Company no longer designated the interest rate swap agreements relating to the $353 million aggregate notional amount as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, amounts previously recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholder’s equity will be amortized into earnings over the remaining period of the swap agreements.

Based on the fair value amounts of the interest rate swap agreements determined as of March 28, 2015, the estimated net amount of existing gains and losses expected to be reclassified into interest expense within the next twelve months is approximately $17.3 million.

SEGMENTS

The Company’s businesses are organized and managed in three reporting segments: Power & Control, Airframe and Non-aviation. Effective October 1, 2014, the Company made certain organizational realignments of the businesses comprising the Power & Control and the Airframe segments. Operating results for the thirteen week and twenty-six week periods ended March 29, 2014 were reclassified to conform to the presentation for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended March 28, 2015.

The Power & Control segment includes operations that primarily develop, produce and market systems and components that predominately provide power to or control power of the aircraft utilizing electronic, fluid, power and mechanical motion control technologies. Major product offerings include mechanical/electro-mechanical actuators and controls, ignition systems and engine technology, specialized pumps and valves, engineered connectors and elastomers, power conditioning devices and specialized AC/DC electric motors and generators. Primary customers of this segment are engine and power system and subsystem suppliers, airlines, third party maintenance suppliers, military buying agencies and repair depots. Products are sold in the original equipment and aftermarket market channels.

The Airframe segment includes operations that primarily develop, produce and market systems and components that are used in non-power airframe applications utilizing airframe and cabin structure technologies. Major product offerings include engineered latching and locking devices, rods and locking devices, cockpit security components and systems, aircraft audio systems, specialized lavatory components, seatbelts and safety restraints, engineered interior surfaces, lighting and control technology, personnel parachutes, cargo aerial delivery systems, emergency escape systems and naval decoys. Primary customers of this segment are airframe manufacturers and cabin system suppliers and subsystem suppliers, airlines, third party maintenance suppliers, military buying agencies and repair depots. Products are sold in the original equipment and aftermarket market channels.

The Non-aviation segment includes operations that primarily develop, produce and market products for non-aviation markets. Major product offerings include seatbelts and safety restraints for ground transportation applications, mechanical/electro-mechanical actuators and controls for space applications, and refueling systems for heavy equipment used in mining, construction and other industries. Primary customers of this segment are off road vehicle suppliers and subsystem suppliers, child restraint system suppliers, satellite and space system suppliers and manufacturers of heavy equipment used in mining, construction and other industries.

The primary measurement used by management to review and assess the operating performance of each segment is EBITDA As Defined. The Company defines EBITDA As Defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization plus certain non-operating items including refinancing costs, acquisition-related costs, transaction-related costs and non-cash compensation charges incurred in connection with the Company’s stock option plans. Acquisition-related costs represent accounting adjustments to inventory associated with acquisitions of businesses and product lines that were charged to cost of sales when the inventory was sold; costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and product lines into the Company’s operations, facility relocation costs and other acquisition-related costs; transaction related costs comprising deal fees; legal, financial and tax diligence expenses and valuation costs that are required to be expensed as incurred and other acquisition accounting adjustments.

EBITDA As Defined is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP. Although the Company uses EBITDA As Defined to assess the performance of its business and for various other purposes, the use of this non-GAAP financial measure as an analytical tool has limitations, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results of operations as reported in accordance with GAAP.

The Company’s segments are reported on the same basis used internally for evaluating performance and for allocating resources. The accounting policies for each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at values based on market prices, which creates intercompany profit on intersegment sales or transfers that is eliminated in consolidation. Intersegment sales were insignificant for the periods presented below.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On March 31, 2015, TransDigm Inc. acquired the aerospace business of Franke Aquarotter GmbH, whose name going forward is Adams Rite Aerospace GmbH (“ARA”), for approximately $75 million in cash. ARA manufactures proprietary faucets and related products for use on commercial transports and regional jets. ARA will be included in TransDigm’s Airframe segment.

On April 30, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of the aerospace business of Pexco LLC (“Pexco Aerospace”), a portfolio company of Odyssey Investment Partners, LLC, for approximately $496 million in cash. The purchase price includes approximately $160 million of tax benefits to be realized by TransDigm over a 15 year period beginning in 2015. TransDigm expects to finance the acquisition primarily through a combination of cash on hand, existing availability under our revolving credit facility and new debt. Pexco Aerospace manufactures extruded plastic interior parts for use in the commercial aerospace industry. Pexco Aerospace will be included in TransDigm’s Airframe segment.
