Overview

We are an innovative technology-based manufacturer of aerospace and defense products and systems, with a

real estate segment that includes activities related to the entitlement, sale, and leasing of our excess real estate
assets. Our operations are organized into two segments:

Aerospace and Defense — includes the operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary Aerojet Rocketdyne, Inc.

(“Aerojet Rocketdyne”), a leading technology-based designer, developer and manufacturer of aerospace and
defense products and systems for the U.S. government, including the Department of Defense (“DoD”), the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”), major aerospace and defense prime contractors as
well as portions of the commercial sector.

Real Estate — includes the activities of our wholly-owned subsidiary Easton Development Company, LLC

(“Easton”) related to the re-zoning, entitlement, sale, and leasing of our excess real estate assets. We are
currently in the process of seeking zoning changes and other governmental approvals on our excess real estate
assets to optimize its value.

In June 2013, we acquired the Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne division (the “Rocketdyne Business”) from

United Technologies Corporation (“UTC”).

Sales, segment performance, total assets, and other financial data of our segments for fiscal 2016, 2015,

2014, and one month ended December 31, 2015 are set forth in Note 9 in notes to consolidated financial
statements included in Item 8 of this Report.

In January 2016, our board of directors approved a change in our fiscal year-end from November 30 of each

year to December 31 of each year. The fiscal year of our subsidiary, Aerojet Rocketdyne, ends on the last
Saturday in December. As a result of the change, we had a one month transition period in December 2015. The
audited results for the one month ended December 31, 2015 and the unaudited results for the one month ended
December 31, 2014 are included in Item 8 of this Report. Further, as a result of the 2016 calendar, Aerojet
Rocketdyne had 53 weeks of operations in fiscal 2016 compared to 52 weeks of operations in fiscal 2015 and
2014. The additional week of operations, which occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, accounted for
$32.2 million in additional net sales.

Aerospace and Defense

Aerojet Rocketdyne is a world-recognized technology-based engineering and manufacturing company that

develops and produces specialized propulsion systems, as well as armament systems. We are considered a
domestic market leader in liquid launch propulsion, in-space propulsion, missile defense propulsion, tactical
missile propulsion and hypersonic propulsion systems. We develop and manufacture all four propulsion types
(liquid, solid, air-breathing, and electric) for defense, civil and commercial applications. Our propulsion systems
range in thrust size from a few grams to over half a million pounds. Aerojet Rocketdyne is a trusted supplier of
technically sophisticated products and systems for military, civil and commercial customers and we maintain
strong market positions across several product lines that are mission-critical to national defense and U.S. access
to space. Our sales are diversified across multiple programs, prime contractors and end users and we believe we
are well positioned to benefit from spending in several areas of high priority for the U.S. government including
support of the nation’s ability to maintain access to space and a strong missile defense. Principal customers and
end users include the DoD, NASA, The Boeing Company (“Boeing”), Lockheed Martin Corporation (“Lockheed
Martin”), Raytheon Company (“Raytheon”), and United Launch Alliance (“ULA”).

Primary Markets and Programs

Our capabilities and resources are aligned with our customers and markets, and position us for long-term

growth with improved efficiency. The markets and key programs we serve are:

Aerospace. We specialize in the development and production of propulsion systems for space applications

and are considered a domestic market leader in liquid launch and in-space propulsion systems. For over half a
century, we have been a domestic provider of launch vehicle propulsion systems to prime contractors providing
launch services to the DoD, NASA, and other commercial customers. We have been a cornerstone of the U.S.
space program since its inception more than five decades ago. Our propulsion systems have flown on every
manned mission since the inception of the U.S. space program in 1959 and have powered spacecraft to every
planet in the solar system that has been explored by NASA. Our products include a broad market offering of both
chemical (liquid propellant engines and solid rocket motors) and electric propulsion required for launch vehicle
and in-space applications in the defense, civil and commercial propulsion markets. Capabilities range across the
entire spectrum of product maturation from technology demonstration through development, production, and
flight support operations.

Our space launch systems have a long, successful history with the DoD where we continue to project strong

support related to National Security Space requirements enabling communications, navigation, intelligence,
surveillance, and reconnaissance activities. We provide booster and upper stage propulsion for ULA’s Delta IV
and Atlas V launch vehicles in support of the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (“EELV”) program, as well
as a limited number of Delta II vehicles which are supporting commercial customers launching earth observation
spacecraft. We continue to execute very effectively on production, delivery, and launch support operations for
each of the multi-year contracts established in support of the EELV program.

During fiscal 2016, we achieved a number of significant milestones on the NASA Space Launch System

(“SLS”) and Commercial Crew programs. We completed initial testing of our RS-25 engine to improve its
affordability and tailor it for use in the SLS. NASA also awarded us the contract to upgrade and integrate four of
our RL10 engines into the new exploration upper stage for the SLS.

We continued to mature critical technologies for our nation’s next generation of advanced hydrocarbon

engines for future high-performance booster systems with the ability to eliminate the U.S. dependence on
Russian-provided booster systems for National Security Space Launch. The U.S. Air Force awarded us an Other
Transaction Agreement (“OTA”) that can provide up to $536 million of U.S. government funding in addition to
our investment to qualify our AR1 engine. To date we have been awarded Stages 1 and 2A under the OTA.

NASA also selected us for development of the solar electric advanced propulsion system that will be a key

enabling technology for inter-planetary exploration. We started initial delivery of replacement lithium ion
batteries to sustain the future operation of the International Space Station (“ISS”).

A subset of our key space programs include: RS-68, RS-27, RL10 and Atlas AJ60 engines/boosters that
power EELV launch vehicles, the AR1 large liquid engine for the next generation of launch vehicles, propulsion
for the Orion human space capsule and the Starliner Commercial Crew Transportation Capability capsule, and
multiple in-space electric and chemical propulsion systems to provide orbit raising and satellite station
positioning.

Defense. We specialize in the development and production of propulsion systems for defense applications,
armament systems for precision tactical systems and munitions, and are considered a domestic market leader in
missile defense propulsion, tactical missile propulsion and hypersonic propulsion systems.

We design, develop, and produce propulsion and warhead systems for tactical missiles. Our commitment to

researching and developing safe, effective and affordable products enables us to provide our customers with
optimal tactical propulsion and warhead solutions. Our tactical products have been successfully fielded on
numerous active U.S. and international weapon system platforms.

We also develop and manufacture liquid and solid divert and attitude control (“DAC”) propulsion systems
and booster motors for missile defense applications. Additionally, we develop and manufacture boost and post-
boost rocket motors for strategic missiles. These systems provide launch capability and directional control for
critical missile defense interceptors and for ground and sea-based strategic missiles.

During fiscal 2016, we experienced growth in our work in the field of hypersonic propulsion with

competitive wins on the Hypersonic Airbreathing Weapons Concept, Advanced Full Range Engine, and Tactical
Boost Glide concept development programs. We also extended our position in missile defense DACs propulsion
as both the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (“THAAD”) liquid DACs and Standard Missile-3 solid DACs
achieved significant production volume in fiscal 2016. In fiscal 2016, we also transitioned to production of the
new, more-capable Missile Segment Enhanced boost motor for the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (“PAC-3”)
missile.

A subset of our key defense programs include: Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle (“EKV”) Liquid DACs, booster
and Liquid DACs for THAAD, boosters and solid DACs for the Navy’s Standard Missile family, PAC-3, Guided
Multiple Launch Rocket Systems, HAWK, Javelin, Tactical Tomahawk, and Tube-launched Optically-tracked
Wire-guided warhead.

Our Competitive Strengths

Leadership in Propulsion — Our success is due in part to our ability to focus on the design, development

and manufacture of products utilizing innovative, mission-enabling technology. For over 70 years, we have

5

demonstrated a legacy of successfully meeting the most challenging missions by producing some of the world’s
most technologically advanced propulsion systems for our customers. For example, our propulsion systems have
flown on every NASA Discovery mission as well as every manned space mission since the inception of the U.S.
space program. We also have powered nearly all of NASA’s human-rated launch vehicles to-date and powered
space probes to nearly every planet in the solar system and have been a cornerstone to the U.S. space program
since its inception. In addition, we have been a major supplier of a wide range of propulsion products to the DoD
since the 1940s when we successfully developed and produced the first jet-assisted take off rockets for U.S.
aircraft during World War II.

Diversified and Well Balanced Portfolio — We have been and continue to be a pioneer in the development

of many enabling technologies and products that have strengthened multiple branches of the U.S. military and
enabled the exploration of space. We believe Aerojet Rocketdyne maintains a unique competitive position due to
a strategic focus on creating and maintaining a broad spectrum of propulsion and energetic products assisted by
the growing market demand for its innovative energy management technologies.

High Visibility of Revenue with Multi-year Contracts and Sizable Backlog — A strong focus on our

customers’ highest priorities has been a critical factor in maintaining an enduring portfolio of products
throughout major market cycles. The highly visible nature of our revenue comes from the long-term nature of the
programs with which we are involved, our diverse and attractive contract base and our deep customer
relationships. A substantial portion of our sales are derived from multi-year contract awards from major
aerospace and defense prime contractors. In many cases, we operate under sole source contracts, some of which
are follow-on contracts to contracts initially competed years ago and others have been sole source contracts since
inception. High renewal rates, supported by our market leading technology provide us with a highly stable
business base from which to grow. As of December 31, 2016, our contract backlog (funded and unfunded) was
$4.5 billion and our funded backlog, which includes only amounts for which funding has been authorized by a
customer and a purchase order has been received, totaled $2.3 billion. We are not subject to predictable
seasonality. Primary factors affecting the timing of our sales include the timing of U.S. government awards, the
availability of U.S. government funding, contractual product delivery requirements, customer acceptances, and
regulatory issues.

Exceptional Long-Term Industry Relationships — We serve a broad set of customers and are major
suppliers of propulsion products to top original equipment manufacturers such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin,
Raytheon and ULA, as well as to the DoD, NASA and other U.S. government agencies. We have a long history
of partnering with their respective prime contractors and have developed close relationships with key decision-
makers in the rocket and missile propulsion markets. We are, in many instances, approached by multiple prime
contractors early in the bidding process, which is a testament to the strength of our relationships and
technological leadership in the industry. We believe these long-term relationships and our reputation for
performance enhance customer loyalty and provide us with key competitive advantages in winning new contracts
for new programs as well as follow-on and derivative contracts for existing programs.

Competition

The competitive dynamics of our multi-faceted marketplace vary by product line and customer as we
experience many of the same influences felt by the broader aerospace and defense industry. The large majority of
products we manufacture are highly complex, technically sophisticated and extremely hazardous to build,
demanding rigorous manufacturing procedures and highly specialized manufacturing equipment. While
historically these factors, coupled with the high cost to establish the infrastructure required to meet these needs,
posed substantial barriers to entry, modern design tools and manufacturing techniques (e.g., additive
manufacturing) available to new entrants with the ability to self-fund start-up as well as development costs has
led to increased competition in space related markets. To date, the competition has been limited to a few
participants who tend to be narrowly focused on products that are sub-elements of our overall product portfolio.

6

For example, entrepreneurs such as SpaceX and Blue Origin, who have been or are in the process of developing
liquid fuel propulsion capabilities are primarily focused on the development of space propulsion systems for
heavy lift launch vehicles and are not pursuing or participating in the missile defense or tactical propulsion
business segments that make up a substantial portion of our overall business. These new entrepreneurs have
signaled their intent to compete primarily on price and are therefore bringing pressure to bear on existing cost
paradigms and manufacturing methodologies.

Our primary aerospace and defense customers include the DoD and its agencies, NASA, and the prime
contractors that supply products to these customers. We rely on U.S. government spending on propulsion systems
for defense, space and armament systems, precision tactical weapon systems and munitions applications, and our
backlog depends, in large part, on continued funding by the U.S. government for the programs in which we are
involved. These funding levels are not generally correlated with any specific economic cycle, but rather follow
the cycle of general public policy and political support for this type of funding. Moreover, although our contracts
often contemplate that our services will be performed over a period of several years, the U.S. Congress must
appropriate funds for a given program and the U.S. President must sign government budget legislation each
government fiscal year (“GFY”) and may significantly increase, decrease or eliminate, funding for a program. A
decrease in DoD and/or NASA expenditures, the elimination or curtailment of a material program in which we
are or hope to be involved, or changes in payment patterns of our customers as a result of changes in U.S.
government outlays, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, and/or
cash flows.

Even with overall budget levels set for GFY 2017, Congress was not able to pass a full year appropriation
for either the DoD or NASA prior to the start of GFY 2017 on October 1, 2016. As a result, Congress passed a
short-term Continuing Resolution (“CR”) to fund the U.S. government until December 9, 2016. After the
November U.S. presidential election, at the request of the Trump Administration, Congress passed another CR
through April 28, 2017 to allow the new Administration to shape federal spending. Although details of the plans

7

to address perceived shortfalls in DoD readiness and modernization remain unsettled, the Trump Administration
has signaled strong support for nuclear modernization and missile defense.

The SLS appears to remain a top Congressional priority as the CR included a provision to allow NASA the

funding flexibility for SLS and deep exploration to remain on track. The SLS program also has enjoyed wide,
bipartisan support in both chambers of Congress. We maintain a strong relationship with NASA and our
propulsion systems have been powering NASA launch vehicles and spacecraft since the inception of the U.S.
space program. Our booster, upper stage and Orion vehicle propulsion systems are currently baselined on the
new SLS vehicle and both upper stage and booster engines are in development for future SLS variants. Due to
the retirement of the space shuttle fleet, U.S. astronauts have been dependent on Russian Soyuz flights for access
to and from the ISS for the better part of this decade. NASA has been working to re-establish U.S. manned space
capability as soon as possible through development of a new “space taxi” to ferry astronauts and cargo to the ISS.
In 2014, Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner capsule, powered by Aerojet Rocketdyne propulsion, was selected by
NASA to transport astronauts to and from the ISS. As Boeing’s teammate, Aerojet Rocketdyne will be providing
the propulsion system for this new capsule, thereby supplementing its work for NASA on the SLS designed for
manned deep space exploration. In both instances, we have significant propulsion content and we look forward to
supporting these generational programs for NASA.

Major Customers

As a supplier to the aerospace and defense industry, we align ourselves with prime contractors on a
project-by-project basis. We believe that our position as a merchant supplier has helped us become a trusted
partner to our customers, enabling us to maintain strong, long-term relationships with a variety of prime
contractors. Under each of our contracts, we act either as a prime contractor, where we sell directly to the end
user, or as a subcontractor, where we sell our products to prime contractors. The principal end user customers of
our products and technologies are primarily agencies of the U.S. government.

Contract Types

Under each of its contracts, Aerojet Rocketdyne acts either as a prime contractor, where it sells directly to

the end user, or as a subcontractor, selling its products to prime contractors. Research and development contracts
are awarded during the inception stage of a program’s development. Production contracts provide for the
production and delivery of mature products for operational use. Aerojet Rocketdyne’s contracts are largely
categorized as either “fixed-price” (largely used by the U.S. government for production-type contracts) or “cost-
reimbursable” (largely used by the U.S. government for development-type contracts). During fiscal 2016,
approximately 62% of our net sales were from fixed-price contracts, 32% from cost-reimbursable contracts, and
6% from other sales including commercial contracts.

Fixed-price contracts are typically (i) fixed-price, (ii) fixed-price-incentive fee, or (iii) fixed-price level of

effort contracts. For fixed-price contracts, Aerojet Rocketdyne performs work for a fixed price and realizes all of
the profit or loss resulting from variations in costs during contract performance. For fixed-price-incentive fee
contracts, Aerojet Rocketdyne receives increased or decreased fees or profits based upon actual performance
against established targets or other criteria. For fixed-price level of effort contracts, Aerojet Rocketdyne
generally receives a structured fixed price per labor hour, dependent upon the customer’s labor hour needs. All
fixed-price contracts present the risk of unreimbursed cost overruns potentially resulting in lower than expected
contract profit margin and losses.

Cost-reimbursable contracts are typically (i) cost plus fixed fee, (ii) cost plus incentive fee, or (iii) cost plus
award fee contracts. For cost plus fixed fee contracts, Aerojet Rocketdyne typically receives reimbursement of its
costs, to the extent the costs are allowable under contractual and regulatory provisions, in addition to receiving a
fixed fee. For cost plus incentive fee contracts and cost plus award fee contracts, Aerojet Rocketdyne receives
adjustments to the contract fee, within designated limits, based on actual results as compared to contractual
targets for factors such as cost, performance, quality, and schedule.

In addition, OTA contracts are becoming more prevalent in initial phases of U.S. government procurements,

and are anticipated as an integral part of future Aerojet Rocketdyne business. See our discussion below under
“Research and Development” on our OTA with the U.S. Air Force in a public-private partnership to jointly
develop the AR1 engine.

Some programs under contract have product life cycles exceeding ten years. It is typical for

U.S. government propulsion contracts to be of relatively small contract value during development phases that can
last from two to five years, followed by low-rate and then full-rate production, where annual funding can grow
significantly.

Government Contracts and Regulations

U.S. government contracts generally are subject to Federal Acquisition Regulations (“FAR”), agency-
specific regulations that supplement FAR, such as the DoD’s Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations, and other
applicable laws and regulations. These regulations impose a broad range of requirements, many of which are
unique to U.S. government contracting, including various procurement, import and export, security, contract
pricing and cost, contract termination and adjustments, mandatory disclosure, and audit requirements. Our failure
to comply with these regulations and requirements could result in reductions of the value of contracts, contract
modifications or termination, inability to bill and collect receivables from customers, and the assessment of
penalties and fines that could lead to suspension or debarment from U.S. government contracting or
subcontracting. In addition, as a U.S. government contractor, we are subject to routine audits, reviews, and
investigations by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”), the Defense Contract Management Agency,
and other similar U.S. government agencies. Such reviews include but are not limited to our contract
performance, compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and standards as well as the review of the adequacy

9

of our accounting systems, purchasing systems, property management systems, estimating systems, earned value
management systems, and material management and accounting systems.

Regulations for U.S. government contracts provide for the cost of restructuring activities occurring after a
business combination as unallowable costs unless we can demonstrate through an external restructure cost and
savings proposal that the savings as a result of the business combination will be at least twice the external
restructuring costs. Restructuring costs that are not related to a business combination (i.e., “internal
restructuring”) are generally allowable.

The U.S. government’s ability to unilaterally modify or terminate a contract or to discontinue funding for a
particular program at any time could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition,
and/or cash flows. The cancellation of a contract, if terminated for cause, could also subject us to liability for the
excess costs incurred by the U.S. government in procuring undelivered items from another source. If terminated
for convenience, our recovery of costs would be limited to amounts already incurred or committed (including
severance costs for terminated employees), and our profit would be limited based on the work completed prior to
termination.

Backlog

Backlog is an estimate of the amount of future net sales that we expect to recognize over the remaining life

of existing contracts at a given date. Total backlog includes both funded backlog (unfilled orders for which
funding is authorized, appropriated and contractually obligated by the customer) and unfunded backlog (firm
orders for which funding has not been appropriated). Indefinite delivery and quantity contracts and unexercised
options are not reported in total backlog. Backlog is subject to funding delays or program restructurings/
cancellations which are beyond our control. A summary of our backlog:

Our backlog does not include work we have under contracts obligated by the customer under an OTA. The

U.S. Air Force awarded us an OTA that can provide up to $536.0 million of U.S. government funding in addition
to our investment to qualify our AR1 engine discussed below.

Seasonality

Aerojet Rocketdyne’s business is not subject to predictable seasonality. Primary factors affecting the timing

of our sales include the timing of U.S. government awards, the availability of U.S. government funding,
contractual product delivery requirements, customer acceptances, and regulatory issues.

Appropriations bills for both the DoD and NASA have become increasingly difficult for Congress to pass

by the start of the GFY resulting in funding delays to many of our customers and, in turn, delays in contract
awards received by us. This generally leads to a decrease in the number of new and follow-on awards in the first
half of our fiscal year and an increase during the second half, which translates to varying levels of uncertainty in
the timing of annual awards received by Aerojet Rocketdyne.

10

Research and Development (“R&D”)

We view R&D efforts as critical to maintaining our leadership position in markets in which we compete.
We maintain an active R&D effort supported primarily by customer funding. We believe that some customer-
funded R&D expenditures that are subject to contract specifications may become key programs in the future. We
believe customer-funded R&D activities are vital to our ability to compete for contracts and to enhance our
technology base and future revenue growth.

Our company-funded R&D efforts include expenditures for technical activities that are vital to the

development of new products, services, processes or techniques, as well as those expenses for significant
improvements to existing products or processes.

Our R&D expenditures for the periods presented were as follows:

see discussion below.

AR1

In February 2016, the U.S. Air Force selected Aerojet Rocketdyne and ULA to share in a public-private
partnership to develop jointly the AR1 engine. The total agreement is valued at $804.0 million with the U.S. Air
Force investing two-thirds of the funding required to complete development of the AR1 engine by 2019. The
work is expected to be completed no later than December 31, 2019. The U.S. Air Force has obligated
$115.3 million with Aerojet Rocketdyne contributing $52.7 million and ULA contributing $5.0 million. The total
potential U.S. government investment, including all options, is $536.0 million. The total potential investment by
Aerojet Rocketdyne and its partners, including all options, is $268.0 million. Under the terms of the AR1
agreement, the U.S. Air Force contributions are recognized proportionately as an offset to R&D expenses.

Suppliers and Raw Materials

The national aerospace supply base continues to consolidate due to economic, environmental, and

marketplace circumstances beyond our control. The loss of key qualified suppliers of technologies, components,
and materials can cause significant disruption to our program performance and cost.

Availability of raw materials and supplies has been generally sufficient. We sometimes are dependent, for a

variety of reasons, upon sole-source or qualified suppliers and have, in some instances in the past, experienced
difficulties meeting production and delivery obligations because of delays in delivery or reliance on such
suppliers. We closely monitor sources of supply to ensure adequate raw materials and other supplies needed in
our manufacturing processes are available. Further, as a U.S. government contractor, we are often required to
procure materials from certain suppliers capable of meeting rigorous customer and government specifications. As
market conditions change for these companies, they often discontinue materials with low sales volumes or profit
margins. We are often forced to either qualify new materials or pay higher prices to maintain the supply.
Although we have been successful in establishing replacement materials and securing customer funding to
address specific qualification needs of the programs, we may be unable to continue to do so.

The supply of ammonium perchlorate, a principal raw material used in solid propellant, is limited to a
domestic independent single source that supplies the majority of the domestic solid propellant industry and actual
pricing is based on the total industry demand. The completion of the Space Shuttle Program reduced demand,
resulting in significant unit price increases. In the majority of our contracts, we anticipated this price increase and
incorporated abnormal escalation pricing language into our proposals and contracts.

We are also impacted, as is the rest of the industry, by fluctuations in the sustained availability, prices and

lead-times of raw materials used in production on various fixed-price contracts, particularly on multi-year
programs. We continue to experience volatility in the price and lead-times of certain commodity metals,
electronic components, and constituent chemicals. Additionally, we may not be able to continue to negotiate with
our customers for economic and/or price adjustment clauses tied to obsolete materials and commodity indices to
reduce program impact. The DoD also continues to rigorously enforce the provisions of the “Berry Amendment”
which imposes a requirement to procure certain strategic materials critical to national security only from U.S.
sources. While availability has not been a significant issue, cost remains a concern as this industry continues to
quote “price in effect” at time of shipment terms, increasing the cost risk to our programs. An emerging
challenge to the extended supply chain is the NASA/FAR requirements to comply with stringent cyber security
regulations that may influence the cost of materials and services on U.S. government contracts. We are actively
working to identify these costs to obtain protection in our contracts.

Intellectual Property

Where appropriate, Aerojet Rocketdyne obtains patents in the U.S. and other countries for new and useful

processes, machines, manufactures or compositions of matter, or any new and useful improvements thereof
relating to its products and services. We use patents selectively to protect from an unauthorized third party
making, using, selling, offering to sell and importing the claimed inventions of the patents. Our patents are
maintained through the statutory limit of time, which is typically 20 years from the date of filing of the patent
application, where the claimed invention has value in the markets in which we compete. We rely on trade secret
protection for financial, technical and personnel information that provides an economic competitive advantage by
virtue of not being known by the relevant public. If properly protected, trade secrets can be maintained in
perpetuity. Aerojet Rocketdyne takes reasonable steps to prevent disclosure of its trade secrets in order to
maintain protection under applicable state and federal laws. As our products and services typically embody
complex systems that include many technologies, no single patent or trade secret is material to us.

12

Real Estate

We own 11,451 acres of land adjacent to U.S. Highway 50 between Rancho Cordova and Folsom,

California east of Sacramento (“Sacramento Land”). Acquired in the early 1950s for our aerospace and defense
operations, there were large portions used solely to provide safe buffer zones around hazardous operations.
Modern changes in propulsion technology coupled with the relocation of certain of our propulsion operations led
us to determine large portions of the Sacramento Land were no longer needed for operations. Consequently, our
plan has been to re-entitle the Sacramento Land for new uses and explore various opportunities to optimize its
value.

The Sacramento Land is made up of 5,203 acres used for our aerospace and defense operations, 685 acres
available for future entitlement, and 5,563 acres for future development under the brand name “Easton”. Within
Easton, we currently have 3,904 acres that are fully entitled. The term “entitlements” is generally used to denote
the required set of regulatory approvals required to allow land to be zoned for new requested uses. Required
regulatory approvals vary with each jurisdiction and each zoning proposal and may include permits, land use
master plans, zoning designations, state and federal environmental documentation, and other regulatory
approvals unique to the land.

As Easton continues to execute re-entitlement and pre-development activities, we are pursuing all
monetization options and are exploring how to maximize value from Easton. Value creation and monetization
may include outright land sales and/or joint ventures with real estate developers, residential builders, and/or other
third parties. The new housing market and local economy in the Sacramento region are in recovery and we expect
this trend to continue. We believe the long-term prospect for the Sacramento region represents an attractive and
affordable alternative to the San Francisco Bay Area and other large metropolitan areas of California. We believe
the Sacramento area demographics and the long-term real estate market fundamentals support our objective of
creating value through new entitlements and the creation of Easton.

(1) The environmentally restricted acreage described above is subject to restrictions imposed by state and/or

federal regulatory agencies because of our historical propulsion system testing and manufacturing activities.
We are actively working with the various regulatory agencies to have the restrictions removed as early as
practicable, and the solutions to use these lands within Easton have been accounted for in the various land
use plans and granted entitlements. See Note 7(c) in notes to consolidated financial statements for a
discussion of the federal and/or state environmental restrictions affecting portions of the Sacramento Land.

(2) The term “entitled” is generally used to denote the set of local regulatory approvals required to allow land to
be zoned for requested uses. Required regulatory approvals vary with each land zoning proposal and may
include permits, general plan amendments, land use master plans, zoning designations, state and federal
environmental documentation, and other regulatory approvals unique to the land. The entitlement and
development process in California is long and uncertain with approvals required from various authorities,

13

including local jurisdictions, and in select projects, permits required by federal agencies such as the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Department of Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, and others prior to
construction.

(3) The remaining 148 acres designated in Hillsborough will be transferred, per the completed Purchase and

Sale contract, when the required environmental remediation work is completed. See Note 3(g) of the notes
to the consolidated financial statements.

(4) We believe that the operations land is adequate for our long-term needs. As we reassess needs in the future

and as propulsion technology continues to advance, portions of this land may become available for
entitlement.

(5) We believe it will be several years before any of this excess Sacramento Land is available for future change

in entitlement. Some of this excess land is outside the current Urban Services Boundary established by the
County of Sacramento and all of it is far from existing infrastructure, making it uneconomical to pursue
entitlement for this land at this time.

Leasing & Other Real Estate

We currently lease approximately 0.4 million square feet of office space in Sacramento to various third

parties. These leasing activities generated $6.5 million in revenue in fiscal 2016.

We also own approximately 580 acres of land in Chino Hills, California. This property was used for the
manufacture and testing of ordnance. With the sale of our ordnance business in the mid-1990s, we closed this
facility and commenced clean-up of the site. We continue to work with state regulators and the City of Chino
Hills to complete those efforts.

Environmental Matters

Our current and former business operations are subject to, and affected by, federal, state, and local
environmental laws and regulations relating to the discharge, treatment, storage, disposal, investigation, and
remediation of certain materials, substances, and wastes. Our policy is to conduct our business with due regard
for the preservation and protection of the environment. We continually assess compliance with these regulations
and we believe our current operations are materially in compliance with all applicable environmental laws and
regulations.

We review on a quarterly basis estimated future remediation costs and have an established practice of

estimating environmental remediation costs over a fifteen year period, except for those environmental
remediation costs with a specific contractual term. Environmental liabilities at the Baldwin Park Operable Unit
(“BPOU”) site are currently estimated through the term of a new project agreement as proposed by Aerojet
Rocketdyne, which San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority, the Main San Gabriel Basin Watermaster, and
five water companies (the “Water Entities”) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) have
rejected. There can be no assurance that the term of the new project agreement will not be longer than the term
we estimated and/or broader in scope and, if so, we may be required to make an additional accrual to reflect the
longer term and/or broader scope.

As the period for which estimated environmental remediation costs lengthens, the reliability of such

estimates decreases. These estimates consider the investigative work and analysis of engineers, outside
environmental consultants, and the advice of legal staff regarding the status and anticipated results of various
administrative and legal proceedings. In most cases, only a range of reasonably possible costs can be estimated.
In establishing our reserves, the most probable estimate is used when determinable; otherwise, the minimum
amount is used when no single amount in the range is more probable. Accordingly, such estimates can change as
we periodically evaluate and revise these estimates as new information becomes available. We cannot predict
whether new information gained as projects progress will affect the estimated liability accrued. The timing of
payment for estimated future environmental costs is influenced by a number of factors such as the regulatory
approval process, and the time required to design, construct, and implement the remedy.

(1) Excludes the receivable from Northrop of $68.0 million as of December 31, 2016 related to environmental

costs already paid (and therefore not reserved) in prior years and reimbursable under the Northrop
Agreement (see below).

Operation and maintenance costs associated with environmental compliance and management of

contaminated sites are a normal, recurring part of operations. Most of our environmental costs are incurred by
our Aerospace and Defense segment, and certain of these costs are allowable and allocable as reimbursable
general and administrative costs allocated to our contracts with the U.S. government or reimbursable by
Northrop, subject to an annual and a cumulative limitation. The current annual billing limitation to Northrop is
$6.0 million. See Note 7(d) in notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information.

On January 12, 1999, Aerojet Rocketdyne and the U.S. government implemented the October 1997
Agreement in Principle (“Global Settlement”) resolving certain prior environmental and facility disagreements,
with retroactive effect to December 1, 1998. Under the Global Settlement, Aerojet Rocketdyne and the U.S.
government resolved disagreements about an appropriate cost-sharing ratio with respect to the cleanup costs of
the environmental contamination. The Global Settlement cost-sharing ratio does not have a defined term over
which costs will be recovered. Additionally, in conjunction with the sale of our Electronics and Information
Systems (“EIS”) business in 2001, we entered into an agreement with Northrop (the “Northrop Agreement”)
whereby Aerojet Rocketdyne is reimbursed by Northrop for a portion of environmental expenditures eligible for
recovery under the Global Settlement, subject to an annual and a cumulative limitation.

Most of our environmental costs are incurred by our Aerospace and Defense segment, and certain of these

future costs are allowable to be included in our contracts with the U.S. government, and allocable to Northrop
until the cumulative expenditure limitation is reached. Excluding the receivable from Northrop of $68.0 million
discussed in Note 7(d) in notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Report, we currently
estimate approximately 24% of our future Aerospace and Defense segment environmental costs will not likely be
reimbursable.

Allowable environmental costs are charged to our contracts as the costs are incurred. Because these costs are

recovered through forward-pricing arrangements, the ability of Aerojet Rocketdyne to continue recovering these
costs from the U.S. government depends on Aerojet Rocketdyne’s sustained business volume under U.S.
government contracts and programs.

The inclusion of environmental costs in our contracts with the U.S. government impacts our competitive
pricing; however, we believe that this impact is mitigated by driving improvements and efficiencies across our
operations as well as our ability to deliver innovative and quality products to our customers.

Under existing U.S. environmental laws, Potentially Responsible Parties (“PRPs”), are jointly and severally

liable, and therefore we are potentially liable to the U.S. government or other third parties for the full cost of

15

remediating the contamination at our facilities or former facilities or at third-party sites where we have been
designated as a PRP by the EPA or state environmental agencies. The nature of environmental investigation and
cleanup activities requires significant management judgment to determine the timing and amount of any
estimated future costs that may be required for remediation measures. Further, environmental standards change
from time to time. However, we perform quarterly reviews of these matters and accrue for costs associated with
environmental remediation when it becomes probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the
liability, usually based on proportionate sharing, can be reasonably estimated. These liabilities have not been
discounted to their present value as the amounts and timing of cash payments are not fixed or reliably
determinable.

We did not incur material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities in fiscal 2016 nor do we

anticipate any material capital expenditures in fiscal 2017 and 2018. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis
in Part II, Item 7 “Environmental Matters” of this Report for additional information.

Additional information on the risks related to environmental matters can be found under “Risk Factors” in

Item 1A of this Report, including the material effects on compliance with environmental regulations that may
impact our competitive position and operating results.

Employees

As of December 31, 2016, 15% of our 4,965 employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements.

Significant collective bargaining agreements are due to expire in the summer of 2017 and fall of 2018. We
believe that our relations with our employees and unions are good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Future reductions or changes in U.S. government spending could adversely affect our financial results.

Our primary aerospace and defense customers include the DoD and its agencies, NASA, and the prime
contractors that supply products to these customers. We are seeing more opportunities for commercial in-launch
and in-space business. In addition, sales to our aerospace and defense customers that provide products to
international customers continue to grow. However, we continue to rely on particular levels of U.S. government
spending on propulsion systems for defense, space and armament systems for precision tactical weapon systems
and munitions applications, and our backlog depends, in a large part, on continued funding by the U.S.
government for the programs in which we are involved. These spending levels are not generally correlated with
any specific economic cycle, but rather follow the cycle of general public policy and political support for this
type of spending. Moreover, although our contracts often contemplate that our services will be performed over a
period of several years, the U.S. President must propose and Congress must appropriate funds for a given
program each GFY and may significantly change, increase, reduce or eliminate, funding for a program.

A decrease in DoD and/or NASA expenditures, the elimination or curtailment of a material program in

which we are involved, or changes in payment patterns of our customers as a result of changes in U.S.
government spending, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, and/or
cash flows.

The cancellation or material modification of one or more significant contracts could adversely affect our
financial results.

Sales, directly and indirectly, to the U.S. government and its agencies accounted for approximately 91% of

our total net sales in fiscal 2016. Our contracts typically permit the U.S. government to unilaterally modify or
terminate a contract or to discontinue funding for a particular program at any time. The cancellation of a contract,
if terminated for cause, could also subject us to liability for the excess costs incurred by the U.S. government in

16

procuring undelivered items from another source. If terminated for convenience, our recovery of costs would be
limited to amounts already incurred or committed (including severance costs for terminated employees), and our
profit would be limited based on the work completed prior to termination.

In addition, termination or suspension of any of our significant commercial contracts could result in the loss

of future sales and unreimbursable expenses that could have a material adverse effect on our operating results,
financial condition, and/or cash flows. Furthermore, the termination of any such contracts for default could also
have a material adverse effect on our reputation and ability to obtain new business in the future.

Our business could be adversely affected by a negative audit by the U.S. government.

U.S. government agencies, including the DCAA and various agency Inspectors General, routinely audit and

investigate government contractors. These agencies review a contractor’s performance under its contracts, cost
structure, and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and standards. The U.S. government also reviews the
adequacy of, and a contractor’s compliance with, its internal control systems and policies, including the
contractor’s accounting systems, purchasing systems, property management systems, estimating systems, earned
value management systems, and material management and accounting systems. Any costs found to be
misclassified may be subject to repayment. If an audit or investigation uncovers improper or illegal activities, we
may be subject to civil or criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts,
forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines, and suspension or prohibition from doing business with the
U.S. government. In addition, we could suffer serious reputational harm if allegations of impropriety were made
against us.

The estimates and judgments we make, or the assumptions on which we rely, in preparing our consolidated
financial statements could prove inaccurate.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Such
estimates and judgments include those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, purchase accounting,
retirement benefits, assumptions in the valuation of stock-based compensation and income taxes. We base our
estimates and judgments on historical experience, facts and circumstances known to us and on various
assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and judgments, or the
assumptions underlying them, may change over time or prove inaccurate. If the estimates or judgments we make,
or the assumptions on which we rely, in preparing our consolidated financial statements prove inaccurate, our
actual results may vary materially from those reflected in our consolidated financial statements, which may
subject us to a number of additional costs and risks.

If we experience cost overruns on our contracts, we would have to absorb the excess costs which could
adversely affect our financial results and our ability to win new contracts.

In fiscal 2016, approximately 62% of our net sales were from fixed-price contracts, most of which are in

mature production mode. Under fixed-price contracts, we agree to perform specified work for a fixed price and
realize all of the profit or loss resulting from variations in the costs of performing the contract. As a result, all
fixed-price contracts involve the inherent risk of unreimbursed cost overruns. To the extent we were to incur
unanticipated cost overruns on a program or platform subject to a fixed-price contract, our profitability would be
adversely affected. Future profitability is subject to risks including the ability of suppliers to deliver components
of acceptable quality on schedule and the successful implementation of automated tooling in production
processes.

In fiscal 2016, approximately 32% of our net sales were from cost reimbursable contracts. Under cost
reimbursable contracts, we agree to be reimbursed for allowable costs and be paid a fee. If our costs are in excess

17

of the final target cost, fees and our margin may be adversely affected. If our costs exceed authorized contract
funding or they do not qualify as allowable costs under applicable regulations, those costs are expensed and we
will not be reimbursed for those costs. Cost overruns may adversely affect our financial performance and our
ability to win new contracts.

Also, certain costs such as those related to charitable contributions, advertising, interest expense, and public

relations are generally not allowable, and therefore not recoverable through U.S. government contracts.
Unexpected variances in unallowable costs may adversely affect our financial performance.

If our subcontractors or suppliers fail to perform their contractual obligations, our contract performance
and our ability to win new contracts may be adversely affected.

We rely on subcontractors to perform a portion of the services we agree to provide our customers, and on
suppliers to provide raw materials and component parts for our contract performance. A failure by one or more of
our subcontractors or suppliers to satisfactorily provide on a timely basis the agreed-upon services or supplies
may affect our ability to perform our contractual obligations. Deficiencies in the performance of our
subcontractors and/or suppliers could result in liquidated damages or our customer terminating our contract for
default. A termination for default could expose us to liability and adversely affect our financial performance and
our ability to win new contracts.

Our success and growth in our Aerospace and Defense segment depends on our ability to execute long-
standing programs and periodically secure new contracts in a competitive environment.

Aerojet Rocketdyne’s revenue is primarily derived from long-standing contracts (often sole source) where
Aerojet Rocketdyne is the long-term incumbent. The challenge for Aerojet Rocketdyne is to successfully utilize
its technical, engineering, manufacturing, and management skills to execute these programs for the customer, to
continue to innovate and refine its solutions, and to offer the customer increasing affordability in an era of fiscal
restraint. If Aerojet Rocketdyne is unable to successfully execute these long-standing programs, our ability to
retain existing customers and attract new customers may be impaired.

In addition, in sectors where there is competition, it can be intense. For example, we face increasing
competition from entrepreneurs such as SpaceX and Blue Origin, who have been or are in the process of
developing liquid fuel propulsion capabilities which are primarily focused on the development of space
propulsion systems for heavy lift launch vehicles. These new entrepreneurs have signaled their intent to compete
primarily on price and are therefore bringing pressure to bear on existing cost paradigms and our manufacturing
methodologies. The U.S. government also has its own manufacturing capabilities in some areas. We may be
unable to compete successfully with our competitors and our inability to do so could result in a decrease in sales,
profits, and cash flows that we historically have generated from certain contracts. Further, the U.S. government
may open to competition programs on which we are currently the sole supplier, which could have a material
adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, and/or cash flows.

Our Aerospace and Defense segment is subject to procurement and other related laws and regulations
inherent in contracting with the U.S. government, non-compliance with which could adversely affect our
financial results.

In the performance of contracts with the U.S. government, we operate in a highly regulated environment and

are routinely audited and reviewed by the U.S. government and its agencies, such as the DCAA. These agencies
review performance under our contracts, our cost structure and our compliance with applicable laws, regulations
and standards, as well as the adequacy of, and our compliance with, our internal control systems and policies.
Systems that are subject to review include, but are not limited to, our accounting systems, purchasing systems,
property management systems, estimating systems, earned value management systems, and material management

18

and accounting system. Any costs ultimately found to be unallowable or improperly allocated to a specific
contract will not be reimbursed or must be refunded if already reimbursed. If an audit uncovers improper or
illegal activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties, sanctions or suspension or debarment from
doing business with the U.S. government. Whether or not illegal activities are alleged, the U.S. government also
has the ability to decrease or withhold certain payments when it deems systems subject to its review to be
inadequate. In addition, we could suffer serious reputational harm if allegations of impropriety were made
against us. If such actions were to result in suspension or debarment, this could have a material adverse effect on
our business.

These laws and regulations provide for ongoing audits and reviews of incurred costs as well as contract
procurement, performance and administration. The U.S. government may, if it deems appropriate, conduct an
investigation into possible illegal or unethical activity in connection with these contracts. Investigations of this
nature are common in the aerospace and defense industry, and lawsuits may result. In addition, the U.S.
government and its principal prime contractors periodically investigate the financial viability of their contractors
and subcontractors as part of its risk assessment process associated with the award of new contracts. If the U.S.
government or one or more prime contractors were to determine that we were not financially viable, our ability to
continue to act as a U.S. government contractor or subcontractor would be impaired.

Aerojet Rocketdyne’s international sales are subject to applicable laws relating to export controls, the
violation of which could adversely affect its operations.

A portion of the Aerojet Rocketdyne activities is subject to export control regulation by the U.S. Department

of State under the U.S. Arms Export Control Act and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”). The
export of certain defense-related products, hardware, software, services and technical data is regulated by the
State Department’s Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance (“DTCC”) under ITAR. DTCC administers the
State Department’s authority under ITAR to impose civil penalties and other administrative sanctions for
violations, including debarment from engaging in the export of defense articles or defense services. Violations of
ITAR could result in significant sanctions including fines, more onerous compliance requirements, debarments
from export privileges or loss of authorizations needed to conduct aspects of the Aerojet Rocketdyne’s
international business.

By virtue of recent U.S. export control reform, certain Aerojet Rocketdyne international sales that were

under Department of State jurisdiction are now regulated by the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of
Industry and Security (“BIS”) under the Export Administration Act and the Export Administration Regulations
(“EAR”), specifically those sales involving controlled U.S.-origin commodities with restrictions as to certain end
uses, end users or destinations. BIS addresses administrative or criminal enforcement of EAR violations. Similar
to penalties and sanctions in violation of ITAR, BIS evaluates violations based upon factors which include
destination of the export, degree of willfulness involved in the violation and specific factors of mitigation or
aggravation. The range of penalties is similar to those discussed above with regard to ITAR violations.

In connection with the acquisition of the Rocketdyne Business, DTCC levied certain conditions regarding
integration of the two companies’ ITAR compliance programs. These conditions were required in order to release
the Rocketdyne Business from a Consent Agreement between DTCC and UTC.

A future violation of ITAR or EAR could materially adversely affect our business, operating results,

financial condition, and/or cash flows.

Our competitive improvement program (“CIP”) may not be successful in aligning our operations to current
market conditions.

In March 2015, we initiated the CIP comprised of activities and initiatives aimed at reducing costs in order

for us to continue to compete successfully. The company-wide initiative is being undertaken after a
comprehensive assessment of our product portfolio to underpin Aerojet Rocketdyne’s technological and

19

competitive leadership in our markets through continued research and development. The CIP is composed of
three major components: (i) facilities optimization and footprint reduction; (ii) product affordability; and
(iii) reduced administrative and overhead costs. Implementation of the CIP involves reductions in our workforce
and facilities and, in certain instances, the relocation of products, technologies and personnel. We have incurred
and will continue to incur significant expenditures to implement the CIP and we expect to realize significant
future cost savings as a result. The cost savings will be realized by the U.S government in the form of more
competitive pricing. The CIP may not be successful in achieving these cost savings and other benefits within the
expected timeframes, may be insufficient to successfully restructure our operations through, among other ways,
the relocation of programs or the inability to transition institutional program knowledge, to conform with the
changes affecting our industry, may disrupt our operations, or may be more costly than currently anticipated. See
additional information in Notes 3(f) and 10 in notes to the consolidated financial statements.

We may expand our operations through acquisitions, which may divert management’s attention and expose
us to unanticipated liabilities and costs. Also, acquisitions may increase our non-reimbursable costs. We
may experience difficulties integrating any acquired operations, and we may incur costs relating to
acquisitions that are never consummated.

Our business strategy may lead us to expand our Aerospace and Defense segment through acquisitions.
However, our ability to consummate any future acquisitions on terms that are favorable to us may be limited by
U.S. government regulations, the number of attractive acquisition targets, internal demands on our resources, and
our ability to obtain financing. Our success in integrating newly acquired businesses will depend upon our ability
to retain key personnel, avoid diversion of management’s attention from operational matters, implement internal
controls, integrate general and administrative services and key information processing systems and, where
necessary, re-qualify our customer programs. In addition, future acquisitions could result in the incurrence of
additional debt, costs, and/or contingent liabilities. We may also incur costs and divert management attention to
acquisitions that are never consummated. Integration of acquired operations may take longer, or be more costly
or disruptive to our business, than originally anticipated.

Although we undertake a due diligence investigation of each business that we have acquired or may acquire,

there may be liabilities of the acquired companies that we fail to, or were unable to, discover during the due
diligence investigation and for which we, as a successor owner, may be responsible. In connection with
acquisitions, we generally seek to minimize the impact of these types of potential liabilities through indemnities
and warranties from the seller. However, these indemnities and warranties, if obtained, may not fully cover the
liabilities due to limitations in scope, amount or duration, financial limitations of the indemnitor or warrantor, or
other reasons.

Our inability to adapt to rapid technological changes could impair our ability to remain competitive.

The aerospace and defense industry continues to undergo rapid and significant technological development.

Our competitors may implement new technologies before us, allowing them to provide more effective products at
more competitive prices. Future technological developments could:

•

•

•

•

adversely impact our competitive position if we are unable to react to these developments in a timely or
efficient manner;

require us to write-down obsolete facilities, equipment, and technology;

require us to discontinue production of obsolete products before we can recover any or all of our
related research, development and commercialization expenses; or

require significant capital expenditures for research, development, and launch of new products or
processes.

20

Our business and operations could be adversely impacted in the event of a failure of our information
technology infrastructure or adversely impacted by a successful cyber-attack.

As a U.S. defense contractor, we face cyber threats, insider threats, threats to the physical security of our

facilities and employees, and terrorist acts, as well as the potential for business disruptions associated with
information technology failures, natural disasters, or public health crises.

We routinely experience cyber security threats, threats to our information technology infrastructure and

unauthorized attempts to gain access to our sensitive information, as do our customers, suppliers, and
subcontractors. We may experience similar security threats at customer sites that we operate and manage as a
contractual requirement.

Prior cyber attacks directed at us have not had a material impact on our financial results, however this may

not continue to be the case in the future. Cyber security assessment analyses undertaken by us identified and
prioritized steps to enhance our cyber security safeguards. We are in the process of implementing these
recommendations to enhance our threat detection and mitigation processes and procedures. Despite the
implementation of these new safeguards, there can be no assurance that we will be adequately protecting our
information or that we will not experience any future successful attacks. The threats we face vary from attacks
common to most industries to more advanced and persistent, highly organized adversaries who target us because
we protect national security information. If we are unable to protect sensitive information, our customers or
governmental authorities could question the adequacy of our threat mitigation and detection processes and
procedures. Due to the evolving nature of these security threats, however, the impact of any future incident
cannot be predicted.

We are also currently anticipating outsourcing certain information technology and cyber security functions

to third-party contractors in order to take advantage of advanced cyber security technologies. While we have
engaged in extensive processes and planning in preparation for the migration, the transition may present
unexpected security vulnerabilities, additional costs, and result in our having less control over the performance
and delivery of such services.

Although we work cooperatively with our customers, suppliers, and subcontractors to seek to minimize the

impact of cyber threats, other security threats or business disruptions, we must rely on the safeguards put in place
by these entities, which may affect the security of our information. These entities have varying levels of cyber
security expertise and safeguards and their relationships with U.S. government contractors, such as Aerojet
Rocketdyne, may increase the likelihood that they are targeted by the same cyber threats we face.

The DoD and NASA have contract provisions that require contractors at the prime and subcontract level to

comply with Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting and Security
Requirements for Unclassified Information Technology Resources in accordance with their agency
guidelines. These clauses are being inserted in or made applicable to U.S. government contracts and
non-compliance may impact our ability to receive contracts if we cannot comply or use alternative approaches to
comply with the contract information security requirements.

We may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify our cyber security protective
measures, to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures or to make required notifications, and
we may be subject to litigation and financial losses. These costs related to cyber or other security threats or
disruptions may not be fully insured or indemnified by other means. Occurrence of any of these events could
adversely affect our internal operations, the services we provide to our customers, our future financial results, our
reputation or our stock price; or such events could result in the loss of competitive advantages derived from our
research and development efforts or other intellectual property, early obsolescence of our products and services,
or contractual penalties.

21

We may experience warranty claims for product failures, schedule delays or other problems with existing or
new products and systems.

Many of the products we develop and manufacture are technologically advanced systems that must function

under demanding operating conditions. Even though we believe that we employ sophisticated and rigorous
design, manufacturing and testing processes and practices, we may not be able to successfully launch or
manufacture our products on schedule or our products may not perform as intended.

If our products fail to perform adequately, some of our contracts require us to forfeit a portion of our
expected profit, receive reduced payments, provide a replacement product or service or reduce the price of
subsequent sales to the same customer. Performance penalties may also be imposed if we fail to meet delivery
schedules or other measures of contract performance. We do not generally insure against potential costs resulting
from any required remedial actions or costs or loss of sales due to postponement or cancellation of scheduled
operations or product deliveries.

The release or explosion of dangerous materials used in our business could disrupt our operations and
could adversely affect our financial results.

Our business operations involve the handling and production of potentially explosive materials and other
dangerous chemicals, including materials used in rocket propulsion and explosive devices. Despite our use of
specialized facilities to handle dangerous materials and intensive employee training programs, the handling and
production of hazardous materials could result in incidents that temporarily shut down or otherwise disrupt our
manufacturing operations and could cause production delays. It is possible that a release of these chemicals or an
explosion could result in death or significant injuries to employees and others. Material property damage to us
and third parties could also occur. The use of these products in applications by our customers could also result in
liability if an explosion or fire were to occur. Any release or explosion could expose us to adverse publicity or
liability for damages or cause production delays, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our
operating results, financial condition, and/or cash flows.

Disruptions in the supply of key raw materials, difficulties in the supplier qualification process or increases
in prices of raw materials could adversely affect our financial results.

We use a significant quantity of raw materials that are subject to market fluctuations and government
regulations. Further, as a U.S. government contractor, we are often required to procure materials from suppliers
capable of meeting rigorous customer and government specifications. As market conditions change for these
companies, they often discontinue materials with low sales volumes or profit margins. We are often forced to
either qualify new materials or pay higher prices to maintain the supply. Although to-date we have been
successful in establishing replacement materials and securing customer funding to address specific qualification
needs of the programs, we may be unable to continue to do so.

The supply of ammonium perchlorate, a principal raw material used in solid propellant, is limited to a
domestic independent single source that supplies the majority of the domestic solid propellant industry and actual
pricing is based on the total industry demand. The completion of the Space Shuttle Program reduced demand,
resulting in significant unit price increases. In the majority of our contracts, we anticipated this price increase and
incorporated abnormal escalation pricing language into our proposals and contracts.

We are also impacted, as is the rest of the industry, by fluctuations in the sustained availability, prices and

lead-times of raw materials used in production on various fixed-price contracts, particularly on multi-year
programs. We continue to experience volatility in the price and lead-times of certain commodity metals,
electronic components, and constituent chemicals. Additionally, we may not be able to continue to negotiate with
our customers for economic and/or price adjustment clauses tied to obsolete materials and commodity indices to
reduce program impact. The DoD also continues to rigorously enforce the provisions of the “Berry Amendment”

22

which imposes a requirement to procure certain strategic materials critical to national security only from U.S.
sources. While availability has not been a significant issue, cost remains a concern as this industry continues to
quote “price in effect” at time of shipment terms, increasing the cost risk to our programs. An emerging
challenge to the extended supply chain is the U.S. government contracting regulations to comply with stringent
cyber security regulations that may influence the cost of material and services on U.S. government contracts. We
are actively working to identify these costs to obtain protection in our contracts.

Prolonged disruptions in the supply of any of our key raw materials, difficulty qualifying new sources of
supply, implementing use of replacement materials or new sources of supply, and/or a continuing volatility in the
prices of raw materials could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, and/or
cash flows.

Our pension plans are currently underfunded and we expect to be required to make cash contributions in
future periods, which may reduce the cash available for our businesses.

As of the last measurement date at December 31, 2016, the assets, projected benefit obligations, and

unfunded pension obligation for the tax-qualified pension plan were approximately $925.1 million,
$1,492.1 million, and $548.2 million, respectively. We generally are able to recover cash contributions related to
our tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan as allowable costs on our U.S. government contracts, but there is a
lag between when we contribute cash to our tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan under pension funding
rules and recover it under the U.S. government Cost Accounting Standards (“CAS”). We expect to make cash
contributions of approximately $72.0 million to our tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan in fiscal 2017 of
which $37.0 million is expected to be recoverable in our U.S. government contracts in fiscal 2017 with the
remaining $35.0 million being potentially recoverable in our U.S. government contracts in the future. During
fiscal 2016, we made cash contributions of $32.8 million to our tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan of
which $27.5 million was recoverable in our U.S. government contracts in fiscal 2016 with the remaining
$5.3 million being potentially recoverable in our U.S. government contracts in the future.

The funded status of our pension plans may be adversely affected by the investment experience of the plans’

assets, by any changes in U.S. law and by changes in the statutory interest rates used by tax-qualified pension
plans in the U.S. to calculate funding requirements. Accordingly, if the performance of our plans’ assets does not
meet our assumptions, if there are changes to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regulations or other
applicable law or if other actuarial assumptions are modified, our future contributions to our underfunded
pension plans could be higher than we expect.

Additionally, the level of returns on retirement benefit assets, changes in interest rates, increases in Pension

Benefit Guaranty Corporations premiums, changes in regulations, changes in mortality rate assumptions, and
other factors affect our financial results. The timing of recognition of retirement benefit expense or income in our
financial statements differs from the timing of the required funding under the Pension Protection Act (“PPA”) or
the amount of funding that can be recorded in our overhead rates through our U.S. government contracting
business. Significant cash contributions in future periods could materially adversely affect our business,
operating results, financial condition, and/or cash flows.

The level of returns on retirement benefit assets, changes in interest rates, changes in legislation, and other
factors affects our financial results.

Our earnings are positively or negatively impacted by the amount of expense or income we record for our
employee retirement benefit plans. We calculate the expense for the plans based on actuarial valuations. These
valuations are based on assumptions that we make relating to financial market and other economic conditions.
Changes in key economic indicators result in changes in the assumptions we use. The key assumptions used to

23

estimate retirement benefit expense for the following year are the discount rate and expected long-term rate of
return on assets. Our pension expense or income can also be affected by legislation and other government
regulatory actions.

Our operations and properties are currently the subject of significant environmental liabilities, and the
numerous environmental and other government requirements to which we are subject may become more
stringent in the future.

We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations that, among other things, require us to obtain

permits to operate and install pollution control equipment and regulate the generation, storage, handling,
transportation, treatment, and disposal of hazardous and solid wastes. These requirements may become more
stringent in the future. Additional regulations dictate how and to what level we remediate contaminated soils and
the level to which we are required to clean contaminated groundwater. These requirements may also become
more stringent in the future. We may also be subject to fines and penalties relating to the operation of our
existing and formerly owned businesses. We have been and are subject to toxic tort and asbestos lawsuits as well
as other third-party lawsuits, due to either our past or present use of hazardous substances or the alleged on-site
or off-site contamination of the environment through past or present operations. We may incur material costs in
defending these claims and lawsuits and any similar claims and lawsuits that may arise in the future.
Contamination at our current and former properties is subject to investigation and remediation requirements
under federal, state and local laws and regulations, and the full extent of the required remediation has not yet
been determined. Any adverse judgment or cash outlay could have a significant adverse effect on our operating
results, financial condition, and/or cash flows.

Although some of our environmental expenditures may be recoverable and we have established reserves,
given the many uncertainties involved in assessing liability for environmental claims, our reserves may not
be sufficient, which could adversely affect our financial results and cash flows.

As of December 31, 2016, the aggregate range of our estimated future environmental obligations was
$349.7 million to $525.0 million and the accrued amount was $349.7 million. We believe the accrued amount for
future remediation costs represents the costs that could be incurred by us over the contractual term, if any, or the
next fifteen years of the estimated remediation, to the extent they are probable and reasonably estimable.
However, in many cases the nature and extent of the required remediation has not yet been determined. Given the
many uncertainties involved in assessing liability for environmental claims, our reserves may prove to be
insufficient. For example, in fiscal 2016, we reached a decision with the U.S. government on the treatment of
certain utility costs related to the Sacramento site resulting in a reserve increase of $59.4 million. We evaluate the
adequacy of those reserves on a quarterly basis, and adjust them as appropriate. In addition, the reserves are
based only on known sites and the known contamination at those sites. It is possible that additional sites needing
remediation may be identified or that unknown contamination at previously identified sites may be discovered. It
is also possible that the regulatory agencies may change clean-up standards for chemicals of concern such as
ammonium perchlorate and trichloroethylene. This could lead to additional expenditures for environmental
remediation in the future and, given the uncertainties involved in assessing liability for environmental claims, our
reserves may prove to be insufficient.

Most of our environmental costs are incurred by our Aerospace and Defense segment, and certain of these

future costs are allowable to be included in our contracts with the U.S. government, and allocable to Northrop
until the cumulative expenditure limitation is reached. We currently estimate approximately 24% of our
Aerospace and Defense segment environmental costs will not likely be reimbursable.

Our environmental expenses related to non-Aerojet Rocketdyne sites are generally not recoverable and a
significant increase in these estimated environmental expenses could have a significant adverse effect on our
operating results, financial condition, and/or cash flows.

24

We are from time to time subject to significant litigation, the outcome of which could adversely affect our
financial results.

We and our subsidiaries are subject to material litigation. We may be unsuccessful in defending or pursuing

these lawsuits or claims. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can be very costly and can divert management’s
efforts. Adverse outcomes in litigation could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial
condition, and/or cash flows.

We face certain significant risk exposures and potential liabilities that may not be adequately covered by
indemnity or insurance.

A significant portion of our business relates to developing and manufacturing propulsion systems for

defense and space applications, armament systems for precision tactical weapon systems, and munitions
applications. New technologies may be untested or unproven. In addition, we may incur significant liabilities that
are unique to our products and services. In some, but not all, circumstances, we may receive indemnification
from the U.S. government. While we maintain insurance for certain risks, the amount of our insurance coverage
may not be adequate to cover all claims or liabilities, and it is not possible to obtain insurance to protect against
all operational risks and liabilities. Accordingly, we may be forced to bear substantial costs resulting from risks
and uncertainties of our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial
condition, and/or cash flows.

Our inability to protect our patents and proprietary rights could adversely affect our businesses’ prospects
and competitive positions.

We seek to protect proprietary technology and inventions through patents and other proprietary-right
protection. If we are unable to obtain or maintain these protections, we may not be able to prevent third parties
from using our proprietary rights. In addition, we may incur significant expense in protecting our intellectual
property.

We also rely on trade secrets, proprietary know-how and continuing technological innovation to remain

competitive. We have taken measures to protect our trade secrets and know-how, including the use of
confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and advisors. These agreements may be breached and
remedies for a breach may not be sufficient to compensate us for damages incurred. We generally control and
limit access to our product documentation and other proprietary information. Other parties may independently
develop our know-how or otherwise obtain access to our technology.

Business disruptions could seriously affect us.

Our business may be affected by disruptions including, but not limited to: threats to physical security of our

facilities and employees, including senior executives; terrorist acts; information technology attacks or failures;
damaging weather or other acts of nature; and pandemics or other public health crises. The costs related to these
events may not be fully mitigated by insurance or other means. Disruptions could affect our internal operations or
services provided to customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial
condition, and/or cash flows.

If our operating subsidiaries do not generate sufficient cash flow or if they are not able to pay dividends or
otherwise distribute their cash to us, or if we have insufficient funds on hand, we may not be able to service
our debt.

All of the operations of our Aerospace and Defense and Real Estate segments are conducted through
subsidiaries. Consequently, our cash flow and ability to service our debt obligations will be largely dependent
upon the earnings and cash flows of our operating subsidiaries and the distribution of those earnings to us, or

25

upon loans, advances or other payments made by these subsidiaries to us. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay
dividends or make other payments or advances to us will depend upon their operating results and cash flows and
will be subject to applicable laws and any contractual restrictions contained in the agreements governing their
debt, if any.

We have a substantial amount of debt. Our ability to operate is limited by the agreements governing our
debt.

We have a substantial amount of debt for which we are required to make interest and principal payments.

Interest on long-term financing is not a recoverable cost under our U.S. government contracts. As of
December 31, 2016, we had $725.6 million of debt principal. Subject to the limits contained in some of the
agreements governing our outstanding debt, we may incur additional debt in the future. Our maintenance of
higher levels of indebtedness could have adverse consequences including impairing our ability to obtain
additional financing in the future.

Our level of debt places significant demands on our cash resources, which could:

• make it more difficult to satisfy our outstanding debt obligations;

•

•

•

•

•

•

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash for payments related to our debt, reducing the
amount of cash flow available for working capital, capital expenditures, entitlement of our real estate
assets, contributions to our tax-qualified pension plan, and other general corporate purposes;

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in the industries in which we compete;

place us at a competitive disadvantage with respect to our competitors, some of which have lower debt
service obligations and greater financial resources than we do;

limit our ability to borrow additional funds;

limit our ability to expand our operations through acquisitions; and

increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions.

If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt and fund our operating costs, our

liquidity may be adversely affected.

We are obligated to comply with financial and other covenants outlined in our debt indentures and
agreements that could restrict our operating activities. A failure to comply could result in a default which
would, if not waived by the lenders, likely would come with substantial cost and accelerate the payment of
our debt.

Our debt instruments generally contain various restrictive covenants which include, among others,

provisions which may restrict our ability to:

•

•

access the full amount of our revolving credit facility and/or incur additional debt;

enter into certain leases;

• make certain distributions, investments, and other restricted payments;

•

•

•

•

cause our restricted subsidiaries to make payments to us;

enter into transactions with affiliates;

create certain liens;

purchase assets or businesses;

26

•

•

sell assets and, if sold, retain excess cash flow from these sales; and

consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets.

Our secured debt also contains other customary covenants, including, among others, provisions:

•

•

relating to the maintenance of the property collateralizing the debt; and

restricting our ability to pledge assets or create other liens.

In addition, certain covenants in our bank facility require that we maintain certain financial ratios.

Based on our existing debt agreements, we were in compliance with our financial and non-financial

covenants as of December 31, 2016. Any of the covenants described in this risk factor may restrict our operations
and our ability to pursue potentially advantageous business opportunities. Our failure to comply with these
covenants could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of our
amended and restated senior credit facility entered into on June 17, 2016 (the “Senior Credit Facility”) with the
lenders identified therein and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and the 2.25% Convertible Senior
Notes (“2 1/4% Notes”). In addition, our failure to pay principal and interest when due is a default under the
Senior Credit Facility, and in certain cases, would cause cross defaults on the 2 1/4% Notes.

The real estate market involves significant risk, which could adversely affect our financial results.

Our real estate activities involve significant risks, which could adversely affect our financial results. We are

subject to various risks, including the following:

• we may be unable to obtain, or suffer delays in obtaining, necessary re-zoning, land use, building,
occupancy, and other required governmental permits and authorizations, which could result in
increased costs or our abandonment of these projects;

• we may be unable to complete environmental remediation or to have state and federal environmental
restrictions on our property lifted, which could cause a delay or abandonment of these projects;

• we may be unable to obtain sufficient water sources to service our projects, which may prevent us from

executing our plans;

•

•

•

our real estate activities may require significant expenditures and we may not be able to obtain
financing on favorable terms, which may render us unable to proceed with our plans;

economic and political uncertainties could have an adverse effect on consumer buying habits,
construction costs, availability of labor and materials and other factors affecting us and the real estate
industry in general;

our property is subject to federal, state, and local regulations and restrictions that may impose
significant limitations on our plans;

• much of our property is raw land that includes the natural habitats of various endangered or protected

wildlife species requiring mitigation;

•

•

if our land use plans are approved by the appropriate governmental authorities, we may face lawsuits
from those who oppose such plans. Such lawsuits and the costs associated with such opposition could
be material and have an adverse effect on our ability to sell property or realize income from our
projects; and

the time frame required for approval of our plans means that we will have to wait years for a significant
cash return.

27

Substantially all of our excess real estate, that we are in the process of entitling for new opportunities, is
located in Sacramento County, California, making us vulnerable to changes in economic and other
conditions in that particular market.

As a result of the geographic concentration of our properties, our long-term real estate performance and the

value of our properties will depend upon conditions in the Sacramento region, including:

•

•

•

•

•

•

the sustainability and growth of industries located in the Sacramento region;

the financial strength and spending of the State of California;

local real estate market conditions;

changes in neighborhood characteristics;

changes in interest rates; and

real estate tax rates.

If unfavorable economic or other conditions continue in the region, our plans and business strategy could be

adversely affected.

We may incur additional costs related to past or future divestitures, which could adversely affect our
financial results.

In connection with our divestitures in prior periods, we have incurred and may incur additional costs. As
part of our divestitures, we have provided customary indemnification to the purchasers for such matters as claims
arising from the operation of the businesses prior to disposition, including income tax matters and the liability to
investigate and remediate certain environmental contamination existing prior to disposition. These additional
costs and the indemnification of the purchasers of our former or current businesses may require additional cash
expenditures, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, and/or
cash flows.

In order to be successful, we must attract and retain key employees.

Our business has a continuing need to attract large numbers of skilled personnel, including personnel

holding security clearances, to support the growth of the enterprise and to replace individuals who have
terminated employment due to retirement or for other reasons. To the extent that the demand for qualified
personnel exceeds supply, we could experience higher labor, recruiting, or training costs in order to attract and
retain such employees, or could experience difficulties in performing under our contracts if our needs for such
employees were unmet. In addition, our inability to appropriately plan for the transfer or replacement of
appropriate intellectual capital and skill sets critical to us could result in business disruptions and impair our
ability to achieve business objectives.

A strike or other work stoppage, or our inability to renew collective bargaining agreements on favorable
terms, could adversely affect our financial results.

As of December 31, 2016, 15% of our 4,965 employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements.

In the future, if we are unable to negotiate acceptable new agreements with the unions, upon expiration of the
existing contracts, we could experience a strike or work stoppage. Even if we are successful in negotiating new
agreements, the new agreements could call for higher wages or benefits paid to union members, which would
increase our operating costs and could adversely affect our profitability. If our unionized workers were to engage
in a strike or other work stoppage, or other non-unionized operations were to become unionized, we could
experience a significant disruption of operations at our facilities or higher ongoing labor costs. A strike or other
work stoppage in the facilities of any of our major customers or suppliers could also have similar effects on us.

28

Due to the nature of our business, our sales levels may fluctuate causing our quarterly operating results to
fluctuate.

Our quarterly and annual sales are affected by a variety of factors that may lead to significant variability in

our operating results. In our Aerospace and Defense segment, sales earned under long-term contracts are
recognized either on a cost basis, when deliveries are made, or when contractually defined performance
milestones are achieved. The timing of deliveries or milestones may fluctuate from quarter to quarter. In our Real
Estate segment, sales of land may be made from time to time, which may result in variability in our operating
results and cash flows.

The restatement of our previously issued financial statements has been time-consuming, expensive and
could expose us to additional risks that could materially adversely affect our financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.

We have incurred expenses, including audit, legal, consulting and other professional fees, in connection
with the restatement of our previously issued financial statements and the remediation of weaknesses in our
internal control over financial reporting. We have taken a number of steps, including adding significant internal
resources and implemented a number of additional procedures, in order to strengthen our accounting function and
attempt to reduce the risk of additional misstatements in our financial statements. To the extent these steps are
not successful, we could be forced to incur additional time and expense. Our management’s attention has also
been diverted from the operation of our business in connection with the restatements and remediation of material
weaknesses in our internal controls.

In addition, any stockholder, U.S. governmental or other actions brought based on the restatement of our

previously issued financial statements could, regardless of the outcome, consume management’s time and
attention and result in additional legal, accounting, insurance and other costs.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could negatively
impact the market price of our common stock.

We identified a material weakness in our internal controls associated with the completeness and accuracy of

our accounting for income taxes, including the income tax provision and related tax assets and liabilities. As a
result of this material weakness, errors occurred in several significant accounts in fiscal 2016 and 2015
consolidated financial statements that were not timely detected. This material weakness resulted in errors to
deferred tax assets, income taxes payable, uncertain tax positions and income tax expense accounts in the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016. Due to the material weakness,
management believes that as of December 31, 2016, our internal control over financial reporting was not
effective based on the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission criteria. We have
and will continue to implement various initiatives in fiscal 2017 to improve our internal controls over financial
reporting and address the matters discussed in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting. The implementation of the initiatives and the consideration of additional necessary improvements are
among our highest priorities. Management will continually assess the progress of the initiatives and the
improvements, and take further actions as deemed necessary. In addition, management will report such progress
to the board of directors, under the direction of the Audit Committee. Until the identified material weakness is
eliminated, there is a risk of a material adverse effect on our financial results.

In addition, we have in the past recorded, and may in the future record, revisions or out of period
adjustments to our consolidated financial statements. In making such adjustments we apply the analytical
framework of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality” (“SAB 99”), to determine whether the effect
of any adjustment to our consolidated financial statements is material and whether such adjustments, individually
or in the aggregate, would require us to restate our consolidated financial statements for previous periods. Under
SAB 99, companies are required to apply quantitative and qualitative factors to determine the “materiality” of

29

particular adjustments. In the future, we may identify further errors impacting our interim or annual consolidated
financial statements. Depending upon the complete qualitative and quantitative analysis, this could result in us
restating previously issued consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to legal proceedings, including litigation in U.S. federal and

state courts, which arise out of, and are incidental to, the ordinary course of the Company’s on-going and
historical businesses. The Company is also subject from time to time to suits under the federal False Claims Act,
known as “qui tam” actions, and to governmental investigations by federal and state agencies. The Company
cannot predict the outcome of such proceedings with any degree of certainty. Loss contingency provisions are
recorded for probable losses at management’s best estimate of a loss, or when a best estimate cannot be made, a
minimum loss contingency amount is recorded. These estimates are often initially developed substantially earlier
than when the ultimate loss is known, and are refined each quarterly reporting period as additional information
becomes available. For legal settlements where the cash payments are fixed and determinable, the Company will
estimate an interest factor and discount the liability accordingly.

Asbestos Litigation

The Company has been, and continues to be, named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury or
death due to exposure to asbestos in building materials, products, or in manufacturing operations. The majority of
cases are pending in Texas and Pennsylvania. There were 64 asbestos cases pending as of December 31, 2016.

Given the lack of any significant consistency to claims (i.e., as to product, operational site, or other relevant

assertions) filed against the Company, the Company is generally unable to make a reasonable estimate of the
future costs of pending claims or unasserted claims. As of December 31, 2016, the estimated range of the
Company’s loss on a pending claim was $0.2 million to $0.6 million and the accrued amount was $0.2 million.

The following table sets forth information related to our historical product liability costs associated with our

asbestos litigation (dollars in millions):

Inflective, Inc. (“Inflective”) Litigation

On December 18, 2014, Inflective filed a complaint against Aerojet Rocketdyne and Kathleen E. Redd,

individually, in the Superior Court of the State of California, Sacramento County, Inflective, Inc. v Aerojet
Rocketdyne, Inc., Kathleen E. Redd, et al, Case No. 34-2014-00173068. Inflective asserted in the complaint
causes for breach of contract, breach of implied contract, false promise, inducing breach of contract, intentional
interference with contractual relations, negligent interference with prospective economic relations, and
intentional interference with prospective economic relations and is seeking compensatory damages in excess of
$3.0 million, punitive damages, interest and attorney’s costs. The complaint arose out of the Company’s
implementation of ProjectOne, a company-wide enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, for which
Inflective had been a consultant to the Company. On February 6, 2015, Aerojet Rocketdyne and Ms. Redd filed a
demurrer to the complaint. On June 9, 2015, the Court sustained the demurrer in part and overruled the demurrer
in part, with leave to amend. On June 18, 2015, Inflective filed an amended complaint in which it reiterated all
the causes of action dismissed by the Court. On June 30, 2015, Aerojet Rocketdyne and Ms. Redd filed a
demurrer and motion to strike seeking to have (a) all claims and references to a purported “finder’s fee” stricken
from the case and (b) the causes of action against Ms. Redd for intentional and negligent interference with
prospective business relations dismissed with prejudice. On October 16, 2015, the Court sustained Aerojet
Rocketdyne’s demurrer and motion to strike with respect to the “finder’s fee” claims, dismissing those claims
with prejudice, but overruled Ms. Redd’s demurrer. On October 26, 2015, Aerojet Rocketdyne and Ms. Redd
answered the amended complaint and filed a Cross-Complaint against Plaintiff and its principal for breach of
contract, intentional misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation and negligence. Inflective filed a demurrer to
the intentional misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation and negligence causes of action, leaving the breach

31

of contract cause of action unchallenged. After a hearing on the demurrer on February 18, 2016, the court granted
the plaintiffs’ request to strike the claim for punitive damages on the negligence count, but denied the plaintiffs’
demurrer and allowed the Company’s claims for intentional misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, and
negligence causes of action to remain along with the breach of contract claim. On August 10, 2016, Aerojet
Rocketdyne filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on the claims brought against Ms. Redd individually, arguing
that as an agent for Aerojet Rocketdyne, Ms. Redd cannot be held personally liable for any alleged interference
of economic advantage between Inflective and Aerojet Rocketdyne. On December 2, 2016, the Court granted
Aerojet Rocketdyne’s Motion for Summary Judgment on the claims brought against Ms. Redd.

Separately, Satish Rachaiah, a former consultant on ProjectOne (working for Inflective), attempted to
intervene in the action and assert claims against Aerojet Rocketdyne arising out of Aerojet Rocketdyne’s alleged
interference with his employment with Inflective. Aerojet Rocketdyne opposed intervention, and the Court
ultimately denied Mr. Rachaiah’s motion to intervene. On December 30, 2015, Rachaiah filed a separate lawsuit
in the Superior Court of the State of California, Sacramento County, Satish Rachaiah v. Aerojet Rocketdyne, Inc.,
Case No. 34-2015-00188516. The Company received the complaint on April 7, 2016 and an amended complaint
was served on June 17, 2016. Rachaiah asserted the same claims in the complaint as attempted when he tried to
intervene. On June 3, 2016, the court granted Rachaiah’s motion to consolidate the case with the Inflective
litigation, finding that two cases involve common parties, witnesses, legal issues and facts. Aerojet Rocketdyne
filed a demurrer to Rachaiah’s first amended complaint on July 22, 2016. On September 26, 2016, the Court
granted the demurrer in part and overruled it in part, dismissing the plaintiff’s claims for intentional and
negligent interference with prospective economic relations with leave to amend. On October 6, 2016, Rachaiah
filed a second amended complaint, once again asserting claims for intentional and negligent interference with
prospective economic relations. Aerojet Rocketdyne filed its Answer to the second amended complaint on
November 11, 2016.

Now that the issues to be tried have been set, discovery has commenced. No trial date for either case has

been established. The Company has not recorded any liability for either of these matters as of December 31,
2016.

Occupational Safety

On January 16, 2015, the Company received a notice that the State of California, Division of Occupational
Safety & Health (“Cal\OSHA”), Bureau of Investigation (“BOI”) is conducting an investigation into an accident
that occurred at the Rancho Cordova facility in November 2013. The accident involved the deflagration of solid
rocket propellant following a remote cutting operation and resulted in injuries to two employees, one of whom
ultimately died from his injuries. Cal\OSHA issued nine citations relating to the accident with penalties of
approximately $0.1 million, all of which the Company has appealed. The BOI is the criminal investigatory arm
of Cal\OSHA and is required by law to investigate any occupational fatality to determine if criminal charges will
be recommended. In August 2016, the BOI advised that it had completed its investigation and the criminal aspect
of the case was closed. A pre-hearing conference on the Company’s appeal of the citations was originally
scheduled for January 9, 2017, but was postponed and will be rescheduled.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Unless otherwise indicated or required by the context, as used in this Form 10-K, the terms “we,” “our”

and “us” refer to Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries that are consolidated in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Report, including the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data of this Report, the risk factors appearing in Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Report, and the
disclaimer regarding forward-looking statements appearing at the beginning of Item 1. Business of this Report.
Historical results set forth in Item 6. Selected Financial Data and Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data of this Report should not be taken as indicative of our future operations.

In January 2016, our board of directors approved a change in our fiscal year-end from November 30 of each

year to December 31 of each year. The fiscal year of our subsidiary, Aerojet Rocketdyne, ends on the last
Saturday in December. As a result of the change, we had a one month transition period in December 2015. The
audited results for the one month ended December 31, 2015 and the unaudited results for the one month ended
December 31, 2014 are included in Item 8 of this Report. Further, as a result of the 2016 calendar, Aerojet
Rocketdyne had 53 weeks of operations in the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 compared to 52 weeks
of operations in the twelve months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014. The additional week of operations,
which occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, accounted for $32.2 million in additional net sales. Financial
information for twelve months ended December 31, 2015 has not been included in this Form 10-K for the
following reasons: (i) the twelve months ended November 30, 2015 provide a meaningful comparison for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2016; (ii) there are no significant factors, seasonal or other, that would
impact the comparability of information if the results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 were
presented in lieu of results for twelve months ended November 30, 2015; and (iii) it was not practicable or cost
justified to prepare this information.

Overview

We are a manufacturer of aerospace and defense products and systems with a real estate segment. Our

operations are organized into two segments:

Aerospace and Defense — includes the operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary Aerojet Rocketdyne, a
leading technology-based designer, developer and manufacturer of aerospace and defense products and systems
for the U.S. government, including the DoD, NASA, major aerospace and defense prime contractors as well as
portions of the commercial sector.

Real Estate — includes the activities of our wholly-owned subsidiary Easton related to the re-zoning,
entitlement, sale, and leasing of our excess real estate assets. We are currently in the process of seeking zoning
changes and other governmental approvals on our excess real estate assets to optimize its value.

A summary of the significant financial highlights for fiscal 2016 which management uses to evaluate our

operating performance and financial condition is presented below.

• Net sales for fiscal 2016 totaled $1,761.3 million compared to $1,708.3 million for fiscal 2015.

• Net income for fiscal 2016 was $18.0 million, or $0.27 diluted income per share, compared to net loss

of $(16.2) million, or $(0.27) loss per share, for fiscal 2015.

• Adjusted EBITDAP (Non-GAAP measure*) for fiscal 2016 was $202.0 million, or 11.5% of net sales,

compared to $217.9 million, or 12.8% of net sales, for fiscal 2015.

•

Segment performance before environmental remediation provision adjustments, retirement benefit
expense, and unusual items was $188.4 million for fiscal 2016, compared to $200.1 million for fiscal
2015.

36

• Cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2016 totaled $158.4 million, compared to $65.1 million

in fiscal 2015.

•

•

Free cash flow (Non-GAAP measure*) in fiscal 2016 totaled $110.8 million, compared to
$28.3 million in fiscal 2015.

Funded contract backlog as of December 31, 2016 was $2.3 billion compared to $2.4 billion as of
December 31, 2015.

• Total contract backlog as of December 31, 2016 was $4.5 billion compared to $4.0 billion as of

December 31, 2015.

• Net debt (Non-GAAP measure*) as of December 31, 2016 was $315.3 million compared to

$442.1 million as of December 31, 2015.

* We provide Non-GAAP measures as a supplement to financial results based on GAAP. A reconciliation of the
Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is presented later in the Management’s
Discussion and Analysis under the heading “Operating Segment Information” and “Use of Non-GAAP
Financial Measures.”

We are operating in an environment that is characterized by both increasing complexity in the global
security environment and continuing worldwide economic pressures. A significant component of our strategy in
this environment is to focus on delivering excellent performance to our customers, driving improvements and
efficiencies across our operations, and creating value through the enhancement and expansion of our business.

We continuously evaluate a broad range of options that could be implemented to increase operational

efficiency across all sites, and improve our overall market competitiveness. Our decisions will be focused on
moving us forward to solidify our leadership in the propulsion markets.

Some of the significant challenges we face are as follows: dependence upon U.S. government programs and
contracts, future reductions or changes in U.S. government spending in our markets, implementation of the CIP,
environmental matters, capital structure, and our underfunded retirement benefit plans.

Major Customers

The principal end user customers of our products and technology are primarily agencies of the U.S.
government. Since a majority of our sales are, directly or indirectly, to the U.S. government, funding for the
purchase of our products and services generally follows trends in U.S. aerospace and defense spending. However,
individual U.S. government agencies, which include the military services, NASA, the Missile Defense Agency,
and the prime contractors that serve these agencies, exercise independent purchasing power within “budget
top-line” limits. Therefore, sales to the U.S. government are not regarded as sales to one customer, but rather
each contracting agency is viewed as a separate customer.

Sales to the U.S. government and its agencies, including sales to our significant customers disclosed below,

were as follows:

contracts, represented 12%, 14%, 12%, and 12% of net sales for fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015, fiscal 2014, and the one

37

month ended December 31, 2015, respectively. The THAAD program, which is included in the U.S. government
sales and is comprised of multiple contracts, represented 13%, 13%, 12%, and 13% of net sales for fiscal 2016,
fiscal 2015, fiscal 2014, and the one month ended December 31, 2015, respectively. The demand for certain of
our services and products is directly related to the level of funding of U.S. government programs.

Customers that represented more than 10% of net sales for the periods presented were as follows:

Our sales to each of the major customers listed above involve several product lines and programs.

Industry Update

Our primary aerospace and defense customers include the DoD and its agencies, NASA, and the prime
contractors that supply products to these customers. We rely on U.S. government spending on propulsion systems
for defense, space and armament systems, precision tactical weapon systems and munitions applications, and our
backlog depends, in large part, on continued funding by the U.S. government for the programs in which we are
involved. These funding levels are not generally correlated with any specific economic cycle, but rather follow
the cycle of general public policy and political support for this type of funding. Moreover, although our contracts
often contemplate that our services will be performed over a period of several years, the U.S. Congress must
appropriate funds for a given program and the U.S. President must sign government budget legislation each GFY
and may significantly increase, decrease or eliminate, funding for a program. A decrease in DoD and/or NASA
expenditures, the elimination or curtailment of a material program in which we are or hope to be involved, or
changes in payment patterns of our customers as a result of changes in U.S. government outlays, could have a
material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, and/or cash flows.

Even with overall budget levels set for GFY 2017, Congress was not able to pass a full year appropriation
for either the DoD or NASA prior to the start of GFY 2017 on October 1, 2016. As a result, Congress passed a
short-term CR to fund the U.S. government until December 9, 2016. After the November U.S. presidential
election, at the request of the incoming Trump Administration, Congress passed another CR through April 28,
2017 to allow the new Administration to shape federal spending. Although details of the plans to address
perceived shortfalls in DoD readiness and modernization remain unsettled, the Trump Administration has
signaled strong support for nuclear modernization and missile defense.

The SLS appears to remain a top Congressional priority as the CR included a provision to allow NASA the

funding flexibility for SLS and deep exploration to remain on track. The SLS program also has enjoyed wide,
bipartisan support in both chambers of Congress. We maintain a strong relationship with NASA and our
propulsion systems have been powering NASA launch vehicles and spacecraft since the inception of the U.S.
space program. Our booster, upper stage and Orion vehicle propulsion systems are currently baselined on the
new SLS vehicle and both upper stage and booster engines are in development for future SLS variants. Due to
the retirement of the space shuttle fleet, U.S. astronauts are now dependent on Russian Soyuz flights for access to
and from the ISS for the better part of this decade. NASA has been working to re-establish U.S. manned space
capability as soon as possible through development of a new “space taxi” to ferry astronauts and cargo to the ISS.
In 2014, Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner capsule, powered by Aerojet Rocketdyne propulsion, was selected by
NASA to transport astronauts to and from the ISS. As Boeing’s teammate, Aerojet Rocketdyne will be providing
the propulsion system for this new capsule, thereby supplementing its work for NASA on the SLS designed for

38

manned deep space exploration. In both instances, we have significant propulsion content and we look forward to
supporting these generational programs for NASA.

The competitive dynamics of our multi-faceted marketplace vary by product sector and customer as we
experience many of the same influences felt by the broader aerospace and defense industry. The large majority of
products we manufacture are highly complex, technically sophisticated and extremely hazardous to build,
demanding rigorous manufacturing procedures and highly specialized manufacturing equipment. While
historically these factors, coupled with the high cost to establish the infrastructure required to meet these needs,
posed substantial barriers to entry, modern design tools and manufacturing techniques (e.g., additive
manufacturing) available to new entrants with the ability to self-fund start-up as well as development costs has
led to increased competition in space related markets. To date, the competition has been limited to a few
participants who tend to be narrowly focused on products that are sub-elements of our overall product portfolio.
For example, entrepreneurs such as SpaceX and Blue Origin, who have been or are in the process of developing
liquid fuel propulsion capabilities are primarily focused on the development of space propulsion systems for
heavy lift launch vehicles and are not pursuing or participating in the missile defense or tactical propulsion
business segments that make up a substantial portion of our overall business. These new entrepreneurs have
signaled their intent to compete primarily on price and are therefore bringing pressure to bear on existing cost
paradigms and manufacturing methodologies.

Competitive Improvement Program

In March 2015, we initiated the CIP comprised of activities and initiatives aimed at reducing costs in order

for us to continue to compete successfully. The company-wide initiative is being undertaken after a
comprehensive assessment of our product portfolio to underpin Aerojet Rocketdyne’s technological and
competitive leadership in our markets through continued research and development. The CIP is composed of
three major components: (i) facilities optimization and footprint reduction; (ii) product affordability; and
(iii) reduced administrative and overhead costs. Under the CIP, we expect an estimated 500 headcount reduction.
We currently estimate that we will incur restructuring and related costs over the four-year CIP program of
approximately $82 million (excluding approximately $31 million of capital expenditures). The revisions to the
estimated costs of the CIP in fiscal 2016 were primarily driven by reduced severance costs as employees left
voluntarily at a higher rate than anticipated. When fully implemented, we anticipate that the CIP will result in
annual cost savings of approximately $145 million beginning in fiscal 2019. As a result of this effort, we will be
better positioned to deliver our innovative, high quality and reliable products at a lower cost to our customers.
The cost savings will be realized by the U.S. government in the form of more competitive pricing. The CIP costs
will consist primarily of severance and other employee related costs totaling approximately $25 million,
operating facility costs totaling approximately $19 million, and $38 million for other costs relating to product
re-qualification, knowledge transfer and other CIP implementation costs. We have incurred $18.4 million related
to the CIP program through December 31, 2016 and additionally we have incurred $28.9 million in capital
expenditures to support the CIP. The costs associated with the CIP will be a component of our U.S. government
forward pricing rates, and therefore, will be recovered through the pricing of our products and services to the
U.S. government.

Environmental Matters

Our current and former business operations are subject to, and affected by, federal, state, local, and foreign

environmental laws and regulations relating to the discharge, treatment, storage, disposal, investigation, and
remediation of certain materials, substances, and wastes. Our policy is to conduct our business with due regard
for the preservation and protection of the environment. We continually assess compliance with these regulations
and we believe our current operations are materially in compliance with all applicable environmental laws and
regulations.

(1) Excludes the receivable from Northrop of $68.0 million as of December 31, 2016 related to environmental

costs already paid (and therefore not reserved) in prior years and reimbursable under the Northrop
Agreement.

Most of our environmental costs are incurred by our Aerospace and Defense segment, and certain of these

future costs are allowable to be included in our contracts with the U.S. government and allocable to Northrop
until the cumulative expenditure limitation is reached. See Note 7(c) and (d) of the notes to consolidated financial
statements and “Environmental Matters” below for summary of our environmental reserve activity.

Capital Structure

We have a substantial amount of debt for which we are required to make interest and principal payments.

Interest on long-term financing is not a recoverable cost under our U.S. government contracts. As of
December 31, 2016, we had $725.6 million of debt principal outstanding.

Retirement Benefits

We expect to make cash contributions of approximately $72.0 million to our tax-qualified defined benefit

pension plan in fiscal 2017 of which $37.0 million is expected to be recoverable in our U.S. government
contracts in fiscal 2017 with the remaining $35.0 million being potentially recoverable in our U.S. government
contracts in the future. We generally are able to recover cash contributions related to our tax-qualified defined
benefit pension plan as allowable costs on our U.S. government contracts, but there is a lag between when we
contribute cash to our tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan under pension funding rules and recover it under
the CAS. During fiscal 2016, we made cash contributions of $32.8 million to our tax-qualified defined benefit
pension plan of which $27.5 million was recoverable in our U.S. government contracts in fiscal 2016 with the
remaining $5.3 million being potentially recoverable in our U.S. government contracts in the future.

The funded status of our retirement benefit plans may be adversely affected by investment experience, by
any changes in U.S. law and by changes in the statutory interest rates used by tax-qualified pension plans in the
U.S. to calculate funding requirements. Accordingly, if the performance of our retirement benefit assets does not
meet our assumptions, if there are changes to the IRS regulations or other applicable law or if other actuarial
assumptions are modified, our future contributions to our underfunded retirement benefit plans could be higher
than we expect.

Additionally, the level of returns on retirement benefit assets, changes in interest rates, changes in

legislation, and other factors affect our financial results. The timing of recognition of retirement benefit expense
or income in our financial statements differs from the timing of the required funding under the PPA or the
amount of funding that can be recorded in our overhead rates through our U.S. government contracting business.

Primary reason for change. The increase in net sales was primarily due to the following (i) an increase of

the transition of the Commercial Crew Development program from development activities to initial
production and (ii) an increase of $37.2 million on air defense programs primarily driven by the transition of
the PAC-3 contracts to full-rate production. These factors were partially offset by (i) the sale of
approximately 550 acres of our Sacramento Land for $42.0 million in fiscal 2015 and (ii) a decrease of
$36.8 million in the various Standard Missile contracts primarily from the timing of deliveries on the
Standard Missile-3 Block IB contract and Standard Missile MK72 booster contract. Further, as a result of
the 2016 calendar, Aerojet Rocketdyne had 53 weeks of operations in fiscal 2016 compared to 52 weeks of
operations in fiscal 2015. The additional week of operations, which occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2016 and accounted for $32.2 million in additional net sales, is included in the above discussion of program
changes.

41

** Primary reason for change. The increase in net sales was primarily due to the following: (i) an increase of
$84.3 million in space advanced programs primarily driven by the RS-25 program which is currently
engaged in a significant development and integration effort in support of the SLS development program and
increased development work on the Orion program partially offset by the successful completion of current
J-2X program; (ii) an increase of $80.3 million in missile defense and strategic systems programs primarily
driven by the increased deliveries on the THAAD and Standard Missile programs; and (iii) sale of
approximately 550 acres of our Sacramento Land for $42.0 million. The increase in net sales was partially
offset by a decrease of $109.7 million in space launch programs primarily associated with the RL10 and
RS-68 programs as a result of the timing of deliveries and costs incurred on these multi-year contracts and
lower sales related to the Antares AJ-26 program close-out (see discussion below).

$32.4 million in missile defense and strategic systems programs primarily driven by the deliveries on the
THAAD and Standard Missile programs; (ii) sales of $26.4 million in our space launch programs primarily
associated with the RL10 program as a result of deliveries on this multi-year contract and deliveries on the Atlas
V program; and (iii) sales of $26.1 million in space advanced programs primarily driven by work on the

Primary reason for change. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales excluding retirement
benefit expense and the step-up in fair value of inventory was primarily due to the fiscal 2015 land sale of
approximately 550 acres of Sacramento Land resulting in gross profit of $30.6 million.

** Primary reason for change. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales excluding retirement

benefit expense and the step-up in fair value of inventory was primarily due to (i) land sale of approximately

42

550 acres of Sacramento Land resulting in gross profit of $30.6 million and (ii) the close-out of the Antares
AJ-26 program. Aerojet Rocketdyne entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement (the
“Agreement”) with Orbital Sciences Corporation (“Orbital”) pursuant to which the parties mutually agreed
to a termination for convenience of the contract relating to the provision by Aerojet Rocketdyne of 20 AJ-26
liquid propulsion rocket engines to Orbital for the Antares program (the “Contract”). The Agreement also
settles all claims the parties may have had against one another arising out of the Contract and the launch
failure that occurred on October 28, 2014 of an Antares launch vehicle carrying the Cygnus ORB-3 service
and cargo module. We incurred a $50.0 million legal settlement charge reported as an unusual item and not
included in cost of sales related to the legal settlement.

Primary reason for change. Our company-sponsored R&D expenses (reported as a component of cost of

allocate costs for certain R&D activities to the U.S. government contracts. In fiscal 2015, we self-funded
$32.1 million of engine development expenses associated with our newest liquid booster engine, the AR1,
and did not allocate these costs to the U.S. government. The table below summarizes total AR1 R&D costs

Fiscal 2016 Activity:

On July 18, 2016, we redeemed $460.0 million principal amount of our 7.125% Second-Priority Senior
Secured Notes (“7 1/8% Notes”), representing all of the outstanding 7 1/8% Notes, at a redemption price equal to
105.344% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We incurred a pre-tax charge of
$34.1 million in fiscal 2016 associated with the extinguishment of the 7 1/8% Notes. The $34.1 million pre-tax
charge was the result of the $24.6 million paid in excess of the par value and $9.5 million associated with the
write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs.

46

We retired $13.0 million principal amount of our delayed draw term loan resulting in a loss of $0.3 million.

We recorded a charge of $0.1 million associated with an amendment to the Senior Credit Facility.

Fiscal 2015 Activity:

We recorded an expense of $50.0 million associated with a legal settlement. See discussion in (“Cost of

Sales” section above).

We retired $76.0 million principal amount of our delayed draw term loan resulting in $1.9 million of losses

associated with the write-off of deferred financing fees.

Fiscal 2014 Activity:

We recorded $0.9 million for realized losses and interest associated with the failure to register with the SEC

the issuance of certain of our common shares under the defined contribution 401(k) employee benefit plan.

debt incurred on the Senior Credit Facility at a lower variable interest rate (3.02% as of December 31, 2016)
and to a lesser extent the issuance of the 2 1⁄4% Notes in December 2016 at an effective interest rate of 5.8%.

In fiscal 2016, the income tax provision recorded differs from the expected tax that would be calculated by

applying the federal statutory rate to our income before income taxes primarily due to the impacts from state
income taxes, and certain expenditures which are permanently not deductible for tax purposes, partially offset by
the impact of R&D credits.

In fiscal 2015, the income tax provision recorded differs from the expected tax that would be calculated by
applying the federal statutory rate to our loss before income taxes primarily due to state income taxes and certain
non-deductible interest expense, partially offset by the retroactive reinstatement of the federal R&D credit and
benefits allowed by Section 199 of the IRS code allowed to manufacturers.

In fiscal 2014, the income tax provision recorded differs from the expected tax that would be calculated by
applying the federal statutory rate to our loss before income taxes primarily due to the non-deductible premiums
paid upon the redemption of portions of the convertible debt, certain non-deductible interest expense, state
income taxes, and impacts from the final R&D credit study, partially offset by benefits allowed by Section 199 of
the IRS code allowed to manufacturers.

In the month ended December 31, 2015, the income tax provision recorded differs from the expected tax

that would be calculated by applying the federal statutory rate to our income before income taxes primarily due
to the re-enactment of the federal R&D credit in December 2015 for calendar year 2015 which has been treated
as a discrete event for the December 2015 one-month period, as well as impacts from state income taxes, benefits
allowed by Section 199 of the IRS code allowed to manufacturers, and R&D credits.

The carrying value of our deferred tax assets is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient taxable
income in the future. We need $439.7 million in pre-tax income and $343.7 million in other comprehensive
income to realize the net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2016. We project that future taxable income will
increase as a result of increased income from continuing operations resulting from improved contract profit

49

margins related to the Rocketdyne Business acquisition integration and improved margins beginning in fiscal
2015 due to anticipated contributions to our tax qualified defined benefit pension plan, which are recoverable
through our U.S. government contracts. These increases in income from continuing operations will be partially
offset by book to tax adjustments, primarily related to retirement benefit plan payments, state tax deductions, and
our manufacturing deductions.

The timing of recording or releasing a valuation allowance requires significant management judgment. The

amount of the valuation allowance released by us represents a portion of deferred tax assets that was deemed
more-likely-than-not that we will realize the benefits based on the analysis in which the positive evidence
outweighed the negative evidence.

A valuation allowance is required when it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets

may not be realized. Establishment and removal of a valuation allowance requires management to consider all
positive and negative evidence and make a judgmental decision regarding the amount of valuation allowance
required as of a reporting date. The weight given to the evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can
be objectively verified. In the evaluation as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, management has considered all
available evidence, both positive and negative, including but not limited to the following:

Positive evidence

•

Positive results from continuing operations before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2016;

• Our recent history of generating taxable income which has allowed for the utilization of tax credit

carryforwards;

• CAS rules that allow us to recover certain tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan cash contributions

through our U.S. government contracts;

• Eligibility of some of our environmental costs for future recovery in the pricing of our products and

services to the U.S. government and under existing third party agreements;

• Establishment and execution of the Competitive Improvement Program evidencing increasing growth

and profitability;

•

Increase in our contract backlog;

• Lower interest costs as a result of our fiscal 2016 debt refinancing efforts; and

•

Favorable trends with respect to the market value of certain real estate assets.

Negative evidence

• Our three year comprehensive cumulative loss position as of December 31, 2016;

• Our exposure to environmental remediation obligations and the related uncertainty as to the ultimate

exposure upon settlement;

• The significance of our defined benefit pension obligation and related impact it could have in future

years; and

• The interest expense arising from additional indebtedness incurred in fiscal 2016.

During fiscal 2016 and 2015, we continued to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance and have
concluded in each quarter, including year end, that the amount of valuation allowance currently recorded was
appropriate. We will continue to evaluate the ability to realize our net deferred tax assets to determine if an
increase to our valuation allowance may be required to reduce deferred tax assets, which could have a material
impact on our results of operations.

We estimate that our retirement benefit expense will be approximately $73 million in fiscal 2017.

Market conditions and interest rates significantly affect the assets and liabilities of our retirement benefit

plans. Pension accounting permits market gains and losses to be deferred and recognized over a period of years.
This “smoothing” results in the creation of other accumulated income or losses which will be amortized to
retirement benefit expense or benefit in future years. The accounting method we utilize recognizes one-fifth of
the unamortized gains and losses associated with the market-related value of pension assets and all other gains
and losses, including changes in the discount rate used to calculate benefit costs each year. Investment gains or
losses for this purpose are the difference between the expected return and the actual return on the market-related
value of assets which smoothes market related asset values over three years. Although the smoothing period
mitigates some volatility in the calculation of annual retirement benefit expense, future expenses are impacted by
changes in the market value of assets and changes in interest rates.

Operating Segment Information:

We evaluate our operating segments based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is
segment performance. Segment performance represents net sales from continuing operations less applicable
costs, expenses and provisions for unusual items relating to the segment. Excluded from segment performance
are: corporate income and expenses, interest expense, interest income, income taxes, legacy income or expenses,
and unusual items not related to the segment. We believe that segment performance provides information useful
to investors in understanding our underlying operational performance. In addition, we provide the Non-GAAP
financial measure of our operational performance called segment performance before environmental remediation
provision adjustments, retirement benefit expense, Rocketdyne purchase accounting adjustments, and unusual
items. We believe the exclusion of the items listed above permits an evaluation and a comparison of results for
ongoing business operations, and it is on this basis that management internally assesses operational performance.

(1) Retirement benefit expense is net of cash funding to our tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan which
are recoverable costs under our U.S. government contracts. We funded $27.5 million to our tax-qualified
defined benefit pension plan in fiscal 2016 that was recoverable in our fiscal 2016 U.S. government
contracts.

*

Primary reason for change. The increase in net sales was primarily due to the following (i) an increase of
$95.0 million on space launch programs primarily driven by increased deliveries on the RL10 program, and
the transition of the Commercial Crew Development program from development activities to initial
production and (ii) an increase of $37.2 million on air defense programs primarily driven by the transition of
the PAC-3 contracts to full-rate production. These factors were partially offset by a decrease of
$36.8 million in the various Standard Missile contracts primarily from the timing of deliveries on the
Standard Missile-3 Block IB contract and Standard Missile MK72 booster contract. Further, as a result of
the 2016 calendar, Aerojet Rocketdyne had 53 weeks of operations in fiscal 2016 compared to 52 weeks of
operations in fiscal 2015. The additional week of operations, which occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2016 and accounted for $32.2 million in additional net sales, is included in the above discussion of program
changes.

Segment margin before environmental remediation provision adjustments, retirement benefit expense,
Rocketdyne purchase accounting adjustments, and unusual items in fiscal 2016 compared to fiscal 2015 was
relatively unchanged. Items that had a significant impact include the following: (i) favorable contract

52

performance on the THAAD program as a result of operating performance and lower overhead costs; (ii) a gross
contract benefit of $8.1 million in fiscal 2015 associated with the Antares AJ-26 Settlement Agreement (see
discussion in “Cost of Sales” above); and (iii) cost growth and manufacturing inefficiencies in the current period
on electric propulsion contracts.

** Primary reason for change. The increase in net sales was primarily due to the following (i) an increase of
$84.3 million in space advanced programs primarily driven by the RS-25 program which is currently
engaged in a significant development and integration effort in support of the SLS development program and
increased development work on the Orion program partially offset by the successful completion of current
J-2X program and (ii) an increase of $80.3 million in missile defense and strategic systems programs
primarily driven by the increased deliveries on the THAAD and Standard Missile programs. The increase in
net sales was partially offset by a decrease of $109.7 million in space launch programs primarily associated
with the RL10 and RS-68 programs as a result of the timing of deliveries and costs incurred on these multi-
year contracts and lower sales related to the Antares AJ-26 program close-out (see discussion below).

The increase in the segment margin before environmental remediation provision adjustments, retirement
benefit expense, Rocketdyne purchase accounting adjustments, and unusual items in fiscal 2015 compared to
fiscal 2014 was primarily due to the close-out of the Antares AJ-26 program (see discussion of “Cost of Sales”
above) and costs associated with the AR1 program. During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, we began separately
reporting the portion of the engine development expenses associated with our newest liquid booster engine, the
AR1, which are currently not allocated across all contracts and programs in progress under U.S. governmental
contractual arrangements (see additional discussion in Note 1(r) of the notes to consolidated financial
statements). See segment information below:

Net sales for the month ended December 31, 2015 was primarily comprised of the following: (i) sales of

$32.4 million in missile defense and strategic systems programs primarily driven by the deliveries on the
THAAD and Standard Missile programs; (ii) sales of $26.4 million in our space launch programs primarily
associated with the RL10 program as a result of deliveries on this multi-year contract and deliveries on the Atlas
V program; and (iii) sales of $26.1 million in space advanced programs primarily driven by development work
on the Commercial Crew Development program and the RS-25 program which is currently engaged in a
significant development and integration effort in support of the SLS program.

The segment margin before environmental remediation provision adjustments, retirement benefit plan
expense, Rocketdyne purchase accounting adjustments, and unusual items included (i) favorable changes in
contract estimates due to better than expected performance on the Standard Missile and THAAD programs as a
result of manufacturing efficiencies and risk mitigation and (ii) costs recoveries on retirement benefit plan
contributions. These favorable factors were partially offset by contract losses on an electric propulsion contract.

* Primary reason for change. During fiscal 2016 and 2014, net sales and segment performance consisted

primarily of rental property operations. During fiscal 2015, we recognized net sales of $42.0 million associated
with a land sale of approximately 550 acres which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $30.6 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to segment performance (discussed above), we provide the Non-GAAP financial measure of our

operational performance called Adjusted EBITDAP. We use this metric to measure our operating performance.
We believe that to effectively compare core operating performance from period to period, the metric should
exclude items relating to retirement benefits (pension and postretirement benefits), significant non-cash expenses,
the impacts of financing decisions on earnings, and items incurred outside the ordinary, on-going and customary
course of our operations. Accordingly, we define Adjusted EBITDAP as GAAP income (loss) from continuing
operations before income taxes adjusted to exclude interest expense, interest income, depreciation and
amortization, retirement benefit expense net of cash funding to our tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan that
are recoverable under our U.S. government contracts, and unusual items which we do not believe are reflective of
such ordinary, on-going and customary activities. Adjusted EBITDAP does not represent, and should not be
considered an alternative to, net income (loss), as determined in accordance with GAAP.

In addition to segment performance and Adjusted EBITDAP, we provide the Non-GAAP financial measures

of free cash flow and net debt. We use these financial measures, both in presenting our results to stakeholders
and the investment community, and in our internal evaluation and management of the business. Management
believes that these financial measures are useful because it presents our business using the same tools that
management uses to evaluate progress in achieving our performance metrics for annual cash and long-term
compensation incentive plans.

Environmental Matters

Our policy is to conduct our businesses with due regard for the preservation and protection of the

environment. We devote a significant amount of resources and management attention to environmental matters
and actively manage our ongoing processes to comply with environmental laws and regulations. We are involved
in the remediation of environmental conditions that resulted from generally accepted manufacturing and disposal
practices at certain plants in the 1950s and 1960s. In addition, we have been designated a Potentially Responsible
Parties (“PRP”) with other companies at third party sites undergoing investigation and remediation.

Estimating environmental remediation costs is difficult due to the significant uncertainties inherent in these

activities, including the extent of remediation required, changing governmental regulations and legal standards
regarding liability, evolving technologies and the long period of time over which most remediation efforts take
place. We:

•

•

accrue for costs associated with the remediation of environmental pollution when it becomes probable
that a liability has been incurred and when our proportionate share of the costs can be reasonably
estimated; and

record related estimated recoveries when such recoveries are deemed probable.

In addition to the costs associated with environmental remediation discussed above, we incur expenditures

for recurring costs associated with managing hazardous substances or pollutants in ongoing operations which
totaled $6.5 million in fiscal 2016, $5.5 million in fiscal 2015, $7.1 million in fiscal 2014, and $0.3 million in the
one month ended December 31, 2015.

Agreement.

Reserves

We review on a quarterly basis estimated future remediation costs and has an established practice of

estimating environmental remediation costs over a fifteen year period, except for those environmental
remediation costs with a specific contractual term. Environmental liabilities at the BPOU site are currently
estimated through the term of a new project agreement as proposed by Aerojet Rocketdyne, which the Water
Entities and the EPA have rejected. There can be no assurance that the term of the new project agreement will not
be longer than the term we estimated and/or broader in scope and, if so, we may be required to make an

57

additional accrual to reflect the longer term and/or broader scope. As the period for which estimated
environmental remediation costs lengthens, the reliability of such estimates decreases. These estimates consider
the investigative work and analysis of engineers, outside environmental consultants, and the advice of legal staff
regarding the status and anticipated results of various administrative and legal proceedings. In most cases, only a
range of reasonably possible costs can be estimated. In establishing our reserves, the most probable estimate is
used when determinable; otherwise, the minimum amount is used when no single amount in the range is more
probable. Accordingly, such estimates can change as we periodically evaluate and revise these estimates as new
information becomes available. We cannot predict whether new information gained as projects progress will
affect the estimated liability accrued. The timing of payment for estimated future environmental costs is
influenced by a number of factors such as the regulatory approval process, and the time required to design,
construct, and implement the remedy.

(1) Related to the Company’s legacy business operations that are primarily non-recoverable environmental

remediation expenses from the U.S. government.

The $87.4 million of environmental reserve additions in fiscal 2016 was primarily due to the following
items: (i) in fiscal 2016 we reached a decision with the U.S. government on the treatment of certain utility costs
related to the Sacramento site resulting in a reserve increase of $59.4 million for the estimated impact over the
current period and a fifteen year reserve period; (ii) $10.4 million of additional operations and maintenance for
treatment facilities; (iii) $5.9 million of remediation related to inactive test sites and landfill clean-up; and
(iv) $2.7 million of remediation related to operable treatment units; and (v) $9.0 million related to other
environmental clean-up matters.

The $0.5 million of environmental reserve additions in the one month ended December 31, 2015 were

insignificant.

The $176.6 million of environmental reserve additions in fiscal 2015 was primarily due to the following

items: (i) $126.3 million associated with our detailed review estimate related to the BPOU site to reflect the
anticipated costs through the term of a new project agreement, and the amount reserved is based on the proposal
by Aerojet Rocketdyne; (ii) $13.8 million associated with water replacement; (iii) $13.5 million of remediation
related to operable treatment units; (iv) $5.2 million of additional operations and maintenance for treatment
facilities; and (v) $17.8 million related to other environmental clean-up matters.

58

The $33.7 million of environmental reserve additions in fiscal 2014 was primarily due to the following

items: (i) $8.1 million of additional operations and maintenance for treatment facilities; (ii) $5.8 million
associated with annual detailed review estimate updates; (iii) $4.0 million associated with water replacement;
(iv) $3.0 million of remediation related to operable treatment units; (v) $1.5 million of costs related to the
Camden, Arkansas site; and (vi) $11.3 million related to other environmental clean-up matters.

The effect of the final resolution of environmental matters and our obligations for environmental

remediation and compliance cannot be predicted with complete certainty due to changes in both the amount and
timing of future expenditures as well as regulatory or technological changes. We believe, on the basis of
presently available information, that the resolution of environmental matters and our obligations for
environmental remediation and compliance will not have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity and/
or financial condition. We will continue our efforts to mitigate past and future costs through pursuit of claims for
recoveries from insurance coverage and other PRPs and continued investigation of new and more cost effective
remediation alternatives and associated technologies.

As part of the acquisition of the Atlantic Research Corporation (“ARC”) propulsion business in 2003,
Aerojet Rocketdyne entered into an agreement with ARC pursuant to which Aerojet Rocketdyne is responsible
for up to $20.0 million of costs (“Pre-Close Environmental Costs”) associated with environmental issues that
arose prior to Aerojet Rocketdyne’s acquisition of the ARC propulsion business. ARC is responsible for any
cleanup costs relating to the ARC acquired businesses in excess of $20.0 million. Pursuant to a separate
agreement with the U.S. government which was entered into prior to the completion of the ARC acquisition,
these costs are recovered through the establishment of prices for Aerojet Rocketdyne’s products and services sold
to the U.S. government. A summary of the Pre-Close Environmental Costs (in millions):

Pre-Close Environmental Costs
Amount spent through December 31, 2016

Remaining Pre-Close Environmental Costs

$ 20.0
(19.9)

$ 0.1

We expect that the cumulative clean-up costs will exceed $20 million in fiscal 2017 after which ARC will

be responsible for such costs due to contamination existing at the time of the acquisition and still requiring
remediation and monitoring. On May 6, 2016, ARC informed Aerojet Rocketdyne that it is disputing certain
costs that Aerojet Rocketdyne is attributing to the $20 million Pre-Close Environmental Costs. Aerojet
Rocketdyne is evaluating the claim.

Estimated Recoveries

On January 12, 1999, Aerojet Rocketdyne and the U.S. government implemented the Global Settlement
resolving certain prior environmental and facility disagreements, with retroactive effect to December 1, 1998.
Under the Global Settlement, Aerojet Rocketdyne and the U.S. government resolved disagreements about an
appropriate cost-sharing ratio with respect to the cleanup costs of the environmental contamination. The Global
Settlement cost-sharing ratio does not have a defined term over which costs will be recovered. Additionally, in
conjunction with the sale of the EIS business in 2001, Aerojet Rocketdyne entered into the Northrop Agreement
whereby Aerojet Rocketdyne is reimbursed by Northrop for a portion of environmental expenditures eligible for
recovery under the Global Settlement, subject to a cumulative limitation.

Most of our environmental costs are incurred by our Aerospace and Defense segment, and certain of these

future costs are allowable to be included in our contracts with the U.S. government and allocable to Northrop
until the cumulative expenditure limitation is reached. Excluding the receivable from Northrop of $68.0 million
discussed in Note 7(d) in notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Report, we currently
estimate approximately 24% of our future Aerospace and Defense segment environmental costs will not likely be
reimbursable and are expensed.

59

Allowable environmental costs are charged to our contracts as the costs are incurred. Because these costs are

recovered through forward-pricing arrangements, the ability of Aerojet Rocketdyne to continue recovering these
costs from the U.S. government depends on Aerojet Rocketdyne’s sustained business volume under U.S.
government contracts and programs.

Pursuant to the Northrop Agreement, environmental expenditures to be reimbursed are subject to annual

limitations and the total reimbursements are limited to a ceiling of $189.7 million. A summary of the Northrop
Agreement activity (in millions):

While we are currently seeking an arrangement with the U.S. government to recover environmental

expenditures in excess of the reimbursement ceiling identified in the Northrop Agreement and Global Settlement,
there can be no assurances that such a recovery will be obtained, or if not obtained, that such unreimbursed
environmental expenditures will not have a materially adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition,
and/or cash flows.

Fiscal 2016 additions — The $67.3 million of additions to the environmental recoverable asset was

primarily due to the following items: (i) the treatment of certain utility costs related to the Sacramento site
resulting in an increase of $45.0 million; (ii) $7.8 million of additional operations and maintenance for treatment
facilities; (iii) $5.1 million of remediation related to inactive test sites and landfill clean-up; and (iv) $2.0 million
of remediation related to operable treatment units; and (v) $7.4 million related to other environmental clean-up
matters.

Fiscal 2016 reimbursements — The $35.1 million of environmental expenditures that were reimbursed

related to the following items: (i) $15.7 million for operations and maintenance of treatment facilities;
(ii) $3.8 million associated with water supply replacement; (iii) $3.6 million of remediation related to operable
treatment units; (iv) $2.7 million associated with test sampling and analysis; (v) $2.1 million of costs related to
the Camden, Arkansas site; and (vi) $7.2 million related to other environmental clean-up matters.

One month ended December 31, 2015 reimbursements — The $3.8 million of environmental expenditures

that were reimbursed related primarily to $3.6 million of additional operations and maintenance for treatment
facilities.

Fiscal 2015 Activity

Fiscal 2015 additions — The $133.6 million of additions to the environmental recoverable asset was
primarily due to the following items: (i) $95.6 million associated with our detailed review estimate related to the
BPOU site to reflect the anticipated costs through the term of a new project agreement, and the amount reserved
is based on the proposal by Aerojet Rocketdyne; (ii) $10.5 million associated with water replacement;
(iii) $10.2 million of remediation related to operable treatment units; (iv) $3.9 million of additional operations
and maintenance for treatment facilities; and (v) $13.4 million related to other environmental clean-up matters.

Fiscal 2015 reimbursements — The $31.2 million of environmental expenditures that were reimbursed

related to the following items: (i) $13.8 million for operations and maintenance of treatment facilities;
(ii) $6.8 million of remediation related to operable treatment units; (iii) $3.4 million associated with water supply
replacement; (iv) $2.8 million associated with test sampling and analysis; (v) $1.1 million of costs related to the
Camden, Arkansas site; and (vi) $3.3 million related to other environmental clean-up matters.

Fiscal 2015 other adjustments — The $25.4 million of other adjustments primarily relates to the impact of

the Advance Agreement with the U.S. government revising the percent of environmental costs allocable to
Northrop and the U.S. government. We currently estimate approximately 24% of our Aerospace and Defense
segment environmental costs will not likely be reimbursable and are expensed to the consolidated statements of
operations.

Fiscal 2014 Activity

Fiscal 2014 additions — The $21.4 million of additions to the environmental recoverable asset was
primarily due to the following items: (i) $5.1 million of additional operations and maintenance for treatment
facilities; (ii) $3.7 million associated with annual detailed review estimate updates; (iii) $2.5 million associated
with water replacement; (iv) $1.9 million of remediation related to operable treatment units; (v) $1.5 million of
additional estimated costs related to the Camden, Arkansas site; and (vi) $6.7 million related to other
environmental clean-up matters.

Fiscal 2014 reimbursements — The $31.0 million of environmental expenditures that were reimbursed

related to the following items: (i) $12.6 million for operations and maintenance of treatment facilities;
(ii) $8.1 million of remediation related to operable treatment units; (iii) $2.7 million associated with test
sampling and analysis; (iv) $1.7 million of additional estimated costs related to the Camden, Arkansas site;

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities

The $158.4 million of cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2016 was primarily the result of cash

provided by income from continuing operations before income taxes adjusted for non-cash items which
generated $176.0 million which was primarily offset by cash used to fund working capital (defined as accounts
receivables, inventories, other current assets, accounts payable, contract advances, real estate activities, and other
current liabilities) of $44.0 million. The cash used to fund working capital was primarily due to (i) a decrease of
$37.5 million in other current liabilities primarily due to the timing of payments associated with income taxes
and interest expense and (ii) an increase of $28.9 million in inventories primarily due to the timing of milestone
billings and deliveries on the Atlas V and Standard Missile programs. The funding of working capital was
partially offset by a decrease of $33.1 million in accounts receivable primarily due to the timing of cash receipts.

The $65.1 million of cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2015 was primarily the result of cash
provided by loss from continuing operations before income taxes adjusted for non-cash items which generated

63

$120.5 million which was offset by cash used to fund the following: (i) a decrease of $17.8 million in other
current liabilities primarily related to the CIP, cost reduction initiatives, and the amounts paid to UTC related to
Transition Service Agreements; (ii) an increase of $19.5 million in inventories primarily due to the timing of
milestone billings and deliveries on the PAC-3 and Standard Missile programs; and (iii) $7.8 million of real
estate activities.

The $150.6 million of cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2014 was primarily the result of loss

from continuing operations before income taxes adjusted for non-cash items which generated $127.4 million. In
addition, we generated $69.6 million from working capital. The cash generated from working capital was
primarily due to an increase of $96.9 million in cash advances on long-term contracts. This amount was partially
offset by the cash used for the Rocketdyne Business integration activities. In addition, we paid $4.9 million for
income taxes, net in fiscal 2014.

The $2.3 million of cash used in operating activities in December 2015 was primarily due to the result of
cash used to fund working capital. The funding of working capital is primarily due to a decrease of $41.0 million
in accounts payable related to the timing of payments partially offset by an increase of $27.2 million in cash
advances on long-term contracts. Additionally, income from continuing operations before income taxes adjusted
for non-cash items generated $16.9 million.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities

During fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014 and the one month ended December 31, 2015, we had capital
expenditures of $47.6 million, $36.8 million, $43.4 million, and $1.2 million, respectively. The increase in
capital expenditures in fiscal 2016 compared to fiscal 2015 is primarily related to construction projects associated
with supporting our Competitive Improvement Plan.

Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Financing Activities

During fiscal 2016, we had $700.6 million in debt cash payments and borrowings of $800.0 million (see

below). During the one month ended December 31, 2015, we had immaterial financing activities. During fiscal
2015, we had debt cash payments of $81.2 million. During fiscal 2014, we repurchased 3.5 million of our
common shares at a cost of $64.5 million. We also issued $189.0 million of debt and had $166.3 million in debt
cash payments. In addition, we incurred $4.2 million of debt issuance costs.

Debt Activity and Covenants

Our debt principal activity since December 31, 2015 was as follows:

Term loan

The Senior Credit Facility contains covenants requiring us to (i) maintain an interest coverage ratio (the
“Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio”) of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 and (ii) maintain a leverage ratio ( the

64

“Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio”) not to exceed (a) 4.00 to 1.00 for periods ending December 31, 2016
through September 30, 2017; (b) 3.75 to 1.00 for periods ending from December 31, 2017 through September 30,
2018; and (c) 3.50 to 1.00 for periods ending from December 31, 2018 thereafter, provided that the maximum
leverage ratio for all periods shall be increased by 0.50 to 1.00 for two quarters after consummation of a qualified
acquisition. We may generally make certain investments, redeem debt subordinated to the Senior Credit Facility
and make certain restricted payments (such as stock repurchases) if our Consolidated Net Leverage
Ratio does not exceed 3.25 to 1.00 pro forma for such transaction. We are otherwise subject to customary
covenants including limitations on asset sales, incurrence of additional debt, and limitations on certain
investments and restricted payments.

We were in compliance with our financial and non-financial covenants as of December 31, 2016.

Outlook

Short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of recurring operating expenses, including but not
limited to costs related to our capital and environmental expenditures, company-funded R&D expenditures, debt
service requirements, and retirement benefit plans. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and
availability under our revolving credit facility will provide sufficient funds to meet our operating plan, which
includes our CIP and AR1 engine development costs, for the next twelve months. The operating plan for this
period provides for full operation of our businesses, and interest and principal payments on our debt. As of
December 31, 2016, we had $304.7 million of available borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility. Based on
our existing debt agreements, we were in compliance with our financial and non-financial covenants as of
December 31, 2016. Our failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default that, if not
cured or waived by the lenders, could result in the acceleration of the Senior Credit Facility and 2 1⁄4% Notes. In
addition, our failure to pay principal and interest when due is a default under the Senior Credit Facility, and in
certain cases, would cause a cross default on the 2 1⁄4% Notes.

In December 2016, we notified holders of our 4 1/16% Debentures that we would redeem, on February 3,
2017, all of their 4 1/16% Debentures at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 4 1/16%
Debentures to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In January 2017, $35.6 million of the 4 1/16%
Debentures (the entire amount outstanding as of December 31, 2016) were converted to 3.9 million shares of
common stock.

We are committed to a cash management strategy that maintains liquidity to adequately support the

operation of the business, our growth strategy and to withstand unanticipated business volatility. We believe that
cash generated from operations, together with our current levels of cash and investments as well as availability
under our revolving credit facility, should be sufficient to maintain our ongoing operations, support working
capital requirements, fund the CIP, make cash contributions of approximately $72.0 million in fiscal 2017 to our
tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan, and fund anticipated capital expenditures related to projected business
growth. Our cash management strategy includes maintaining the flexibility to pay down debt and/or repurchase
shares depending on economic and other conditions. In connection with the implementation of our cash
management strategy, our management may seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash
purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or
otherwise if we believe that it is in our best interests. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on
prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts
involved may be material.

65

Potential future acquisitions depend, in part, on the availability of financial resources at an acceptable cost
of capital. We expect to utilize cash on hand and cash generated by operations, as well as cash available under
our Senior Credit Facility, which may involve renegotiation of credit limits to finance future acquisitions. Other
sources of capital could include the issuance of common and/or preferred stock, and the placement of debt. We
periodically evaluate capital markets and may access such markets when circumstances appear favorable. We
believe that sufficient capital resources will be available from one or several of these sources to finance future
acquisitions. However, no assurances can be made that acceptable financing will be available, or that acceptable
acquisition candidates will be identified, or that any such acquisitions will be accretive to earnings.

As disclosed in Notes 7(b) and 7(c) of the notes to consolidated financial statements, we have exposure for

certain legal and environmental matters. We believe that it is currently not possible to estimate the impact, if any,
that the ultimate resolution of certain of these matters will have on our financial position, results of operations, or
cash flows.

Major factors that could adversely impact our forecasted operating cash flows and our financial condition
are described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors. In addition, our liquidity and financial condition will continue to
be affected by changes in prevailing interest rates on the portion of debt that bears interest at variable interest
rates.

Contractual Obligations

We have contractual obligations and commitments in the form of debt obligations, operating leases, certain

other liabilities, and purchase commitments. The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of
December 31, 2016:

Contractual Obligations:
Long-term debt:

In December 2016, we notified holders of our 4 1/16% Debentures that we would redeem, in February 2017,
all of their 4 1/16% Debentures at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 4 1/16%
Debentures to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In January 2017, $35.6 million of the
4 1/16% Debentures (the entire amount outstanding as of December 31, 2016) were converted to 3.9 million
shares of common stock.
Includes interest on variable debt calculated based on interest rates at December 31, 2016.
(2)
(3) The payments presented above are expected payments for the next 10 years. The payments for

postretirement medical and life insurance benefits reflect the estimated benefit payments of the plans using
the provisions currently in effect. The obligation related to postretirement medical and life insurance
benefits is actuarially determined on an annual basis. The estimated payments have been reduced to reflect
the provisions of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003. A
substantial portion of these amounts are recoverable through our contracts with the U.S. government.

66

(4) The conditional asset retirement obligations presented are related to our Aerospace and Defense segment

and are allowable costs under our contracts with the U.S. government.

As of December 31, 2016, the liability for uncertain income tax positions was $32.0 million. Due to the
uncertainty regarding the timing of potential future cash flows associated with these liabilities, we are unable to
make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period in which these liabilities might be paid.

We may be required to make significant cash contributions in the future to fund our retirement benefit plans,
a portion of which we may not be able to immediately recover from our U.S. government contracts. We expect to
make cash contributions of approximately $72.0 million to our tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan in fiscal
2017 of which $37.0 million is expected to be recoverable in our U.S. government contracts in fiscal 2017 with
the remaining $35.0 million being potentially recoverable in our U.S. government contracts in the future.

We also issue purchase orders and make other commitments to suppliers for equipment, materials, and

supplies in the normal course of business. These purchase commitments are generally for volumes consistent
with anticipated requirements to fulfill purchase orders or contracts for product deliveries received, or expected
to be received, from customers and would be subject to reimbursement if a cost-plus contract was terminated.

Arrangements with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

As of December 31, 2016, arrangements with off-balance sheet risk consisted of:

•

•

$45.3 million in outstanding commercial letters of credit expiring throughout 2017, the majority of
which may be renewed, primarily to collateralize obligations for environmental remediation and
insurance coverage.

$44.5 million in outstanding surety bonds to primarily satisfy indemnification obligations for
environmental remediation coverage.

• Up to $120.0 million aggregate in guarantees by us of Aerojet Rocketdyne’s obligations to U.S.

government agencies for environmental remediation activities.

• Guarantees, jointly and severally, by our material domestic subsidiaries of their obligations under our

Senior Credit Facility.

In addition to the items discussed above, we have and will from time to time enter into certain types of
contracts that require us to indemnify parties against potential third-party and other claims. These contracts
primarily relate to: (i) divestiture agreements, under which we may provide customary indemnification to
purchasers of our businesses or assets including, for example, claims arising from the operation of the businesses
prior to disposition, liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination existing prior to
disposition; (ii) certain real estate leases, under which we may be required to indemnify property owners for
claims arising from the use of the applicable premises; and (iii) certain agreements with officers and directors,
under which we may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their relationship with us.
The terms of such obligations vary. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated.

We provide product warranties in conjunction with certain product sales. The majority of our warranties are
one-year standard warranties for parts, workmanship, and compliance with specifications. On occasion, we have
made commitments beyond the standard warranty obligation. While we have contracts with warranty provisions,
there is not a history of any significant warranty claims experience. A reserve for warranty exposure is made on a
product by product basis when it is both estimable and probable. These costs are included in the program’s
estimate at completion and are expensed in accordance with our revenue recognition methodology as allowed
under GAAP for that particular contract.

67

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP that offer acceptable alternative methods
for accounting for certain items affecting our financial results, such as determining inventory cost, depreciating
long-lived assets, and recognizing revenues.

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments, and

interpretations that can affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities and other supplemental disclosures. The development of accounting estimates is
the responsibility of our management. Management discusses those areas that require significant judgment with
the audit committee of our board of directors. All of our financial disclosures in our filings with the SEC have
been reviewed with the audit committee. Although we believe that the positions we have taken with regard to
uncertainties are reasonable, others might reach different conclusions and our positions can change over time as
more information becomes available. If an accounting estimate changes, its effects are accounted for
prospectively and, if significant, disclosed in notes of the consolidated financial statements.

The areas most affected by our accounting policies and estimates are revenue recognition, other contract
considerations, goodwill, retirement benefit plans, litigation, environmental remediation costs and recoveries, and
income taxes. Except for income taxes and litigation matters related to discontinued operations, which are not
allocated to our operating segments, these areas affect the financial results of our business segments.

For a discussion of all of our accounting policies, including the accounting policies discussed below, see

Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We consider the nature of the individual underlying contract and the type of products and services provided

in determining the proper accounting for a particular contract. Each method is applied consistently to all
contracts having similar characteristics, as described below.

Under the percentage of completion method, we recognize sales based upon our progress against the
contracted performance objectives. Progress is generally measured as costs are incurred (cost-to-cost method) or
as units are delivered to customers (units-of-delivery) depending on the contractual terms and scope of work of
the each contract. We use the cost-to-cost measure, where the scope of work on contracts principally relates to
research and/or development efforts, or the contract is predominantly a development effort with few deliverable
units. Under cost-to-cost, we recognize sales as costs are incurred. We use the units-of-delivery measure to
recognize sales when contracts require unit deliveries on a frequent and routine basis. Under units-of-delivery,
we recognize sales at the contractually agreed upon unit price as units are sold.

For fixed-priced contracts, variance in actual costs from the cost estimates used in determining the fixed

price impact the overall profit from the contract. We recognize these variances during the contact performance
period. Fixed-priced and cost-reimbursable contracts may provide for variable consideration including awards,
incentives, and/or penalties based upon the customer’s assessment of our performance against pre-established
targets or other criteria. These targets may include factors such as cost, performance, quality, and schedule. We
recognize variable consideration over the contract performance period based upon estimates of performance
against the established criteria.

The recognition of sales and profit on long-term contracts requires the use of assumptions and estimates
related to the contract value or total contract revenue, variable consideration, the total cost at completion and the
measurement of progress towards completion. Due to the nature of the programs, developing these estimates
requires the use of significant judgment. Estimates are continually evaluated as work progresses and are revised
as necessary. Factors considered include, but are not limited to, labor productivity, the nature and technical

68

complexity of the work to be performed, availability and cost volatility of materials, subcontractor and vendor
performance, warranty costs, volume assumptions, anticipated labor agreements and inflationary trends, schedule
and performance delays, availability of funding from the customer, and the recoverability of costs incurred
outside the original contract included in any estimates to complete. We continually evaluate the facts,
circumstances, and assumptions supporting these estimates. Any adjustments to net sales resulting from changes
in estimates are recognized in the current period for the inception-to-date effect of such changes. Changes in
estimates and assumptions related to the status of certain long-term contracts may have a material effect on our
operating results.

The following table summarizes the impact from changes in estimates and assumptions on the statement of
operations on key contracts, representing 94% of our aerospace and defense segment net sales over the last three
fiscal years and one month ended December 31, 2015, accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method
of accounting:

The fiscal 2016 favorable changes in contract estimates were primarily driven by better than expected
performance on space launch systems primarily due to affordability initiatives and lower overhead costs partially
offset by cost growth and manufacturing inefficiencies on electric propulsion contracts. The one month ended
December 31, 2015 favorable changes in contract estimates were primarily driven by better than expected
performance on tactical and missile defense programs primarily due to affordability initiatives and lower
overhead costs partially offset by cost growth and manufacturing inefficiencies on an electric propulsion
contract. The fiscal 2015 favorable changes in contract estimates were primarily driven by the following (i) better
than expected performance on space launch systems and missile defense programs primarily due to affordability
initiatives and lower overhead costs and (ii) unexpected favorable contract performance on close-out activities on
the J-2X program. The fiscal 2014 favorable changes in contract estimates were primarily driven by better than
expected performance on a space launch system program due to favorable contract negotiations and affordability
initiatives partially offset by unanticipated inefficiencies and cost growth on the Antares AJ-26 program.

Revenue on service or time and material contracts is recognized when performed. If at any time expected

costs exceed the value of the contract, the loss is recognized immediately.

If change orders are in dispute or are unapproved in regard to both scope and price they are evaluated as

claims. We recognize revenue on claims when recovery of the claim is probable and the amount can be
reasonably estimated. Revenue on claims is recognized only to the extent that contract costs related to the claims
have been incurred and when it is probable that the claim will result in a bona fide addition to contract value that
can be reliably estimated. No profit is recognized on a claim until final settlement occurs.

Revenue from real estate asset sales is recognized when a sufficient down-payment has been received,
financing has been arranged and title, possession and other attributes of ownership have been transferred to the

69

buyer. The allocation to cost of sales on real estate asset sales is based on a relative fair market value
computation of the land sold which includes the basis on our books, capitalized entitlement costs, and an estimate
of our continuing financial commitment.

Revenue that is not derived from long-term development and production contracts, or real estate asset
transactions, is recognized when persuasive evidence of a final agreement exists, delivery has occurred, the
selling price is fixed or determinable and payment from the customer is reasonably assured. Sales are recorded
net of provisions for customer pricing allowances.

Other Contract Considerations

Our sales are driven by pricing based on costs incurred to produce products and perform services under

contracts with the U.S. government. Cost-based pricing is determined under the FAR and CAS. The FAR and
CAS provide guidance on the types of costs that are allowable and allocable in establishing prices for goods and
services under U.S. government contracts. For example, costs such as charitable contributions, advertising,
interest expense, and public relations are unallowable, and therefore not recoverable through sales. In addition,
we may enter into agreements with the U.S. government that address the subjects of allowability and allocability
of costs to contracts for specific matters.

We closely monitor compliance with and the consistent application of our critical accounting policies

related to contract accounting. We review the status of contracts through periodic contract status and
performance reviews. Also, regular and recurring evaluations of contract cost, scheduling and technical matters
are performed by management personnel independent from the business segment performing work under the
contract. Costs incurred and allocated to contracts with the U.S. government are reviewed for compliance with
regulatory standards by our personnel, and are subject to audit by the DCAA. Accordingly, we record an
allowance on our unbilled receivables for amounts of potential contract overhead costs which may not be
successfully negotiated and collected.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired enterprise or assets over the fair values
of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Tests for impairment of goodwill are performed on an
annual basis, or at any other time if events occur or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill
may not be recoverable. All of our recorded goodwill resides in the Aerospace and Defense reporting unit. We
evaluated goodwill using a “Step Zero” analysis as of October 1, 2016, September 1, 2016, and September 1,
2015, and determined that goodwill was not impaired.

We evaluate qualitative factors (including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations,
cost factors, and overall financial performance) to determine whether it is necessary to perform the first step of
the two-step goodwill test. This step is referred to as the “Step Zero” analysis. If it is determined that it is more
likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying
amount, we will need to proceed to the first step (“Step One”) of the two-step goodwill impairment test. In
evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount,
relevant events and circumstances as discussed below shall be assessed. If, after assessing the totality of events or
circumstances, we determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than
its carrying amount, then the first and second steps of the impairment test are unnecessary.

Circumstances that could trigger an impairment test include but are not limited to: a significant adverse

change in the business climate or legal factors; adverse cash flow trends; an adverse action or assessment by a
regulator; unanticipated competition; loss of key personnel; decline in stock price; and results of testing for
recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s
goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recorded.

70

There can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our goodwill
impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions and estimates are
incorrect, we may be required to record goodwill impairment charges in future periods.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, and in connection with our change in fiscal year end from
November 30 to December 31, we changed our annual test of goodwill impairment from September 1 of each
year to October 1 of each year. With respect to its annual goodwill testing date, management believes that this
voluntary change in accounting method is preferable as it aligns the annual impairment testing date with our
long-range planning cycle, the timing of which has changed consistent with the change in our fiscal year end and
which is a significant element in the testing process. In connection with this change, we first performed an
impairment test as of September 1, 2016 and then performed an additional test as of October 1, 2016. This
change in annual testing date does not delay, accelerate or avoid an impairment charge.

Retirement Benefit Plans

Our defined benefit pension plan future benefit accrual was discontinued in fiscal 2009. In addition, we
provide medical and life insurance benefits (“postretirement benefits”) to certain eligible retired employees, with
varied coverage by employee group. Annual charges are made for the cost of the plans, including administrative
costs, interest costs on benefit obligations, and net amortization and deferrals, increased or reduced by the return
on assets. We also sponsor a defined contribution 401(k) plan and participation in the plan is available to all
employees.

Retirement benefits are a significant cost of doing business and represent obligations that will be ultimately
settled far in the future and therefore are subject to estimates. We generally are able to recover cash contributions
related to our tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan as allowable costs on our U.S. government contracts, but
there is a lag between when we contribute cash to our tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan under pension
funding rules and recover it under our U.S. government contracts. Our pension and medical and life insurance
benefit obligations and related costs are calculated using actuarial concepts in accordance with GAAP. We are
required to make assumptions regarding such variables as the expected long-term rate of return on assets and the
discount rate applied to determine service cost and interest cost to arrive at income or expense for the year.

We used the following discount rate to determine the benefit obligations for the applicable period:

The discount rate represents the current market interest rate used to determine the present value of future

cash flows currently expected to be required to settle pension obligations. Based on market conditions, discount

71

rates can experience significant variability. Changes in discount rates can significantly change the liability and,
accordingly, the funded status of the pension plan. The assumed discount rate represents the market rate available
for investments in high-quality fixed income instruments with maturities matched to the expected benefit
payments for pension and medical and life insurance benefit plans.

The expected long-term rate of return on assets represents the rate of earnings expected in the funds

invested, and funds to be invested, to provide for anticipated benefit payments to plan participants. We evaluated
the historical investment performance, current and expected asset allocation, and, with input from our external
advisors, developed best estimates of future investment performance. Based on this analysis, we decided to
change the long-term expected rate of return on assets from 8.0% to 7.0% effective December 1, 2015.

Market conditions and interest rates significantly affect assets and liabilities of our pension plans. Pension

accounting permits market gains and losses to be deferred and recognized over a period of years. This
“smoothing” results in the creation of other accumulated income or loss which will be amortized to pension costs
in future years. The accounting method we utilize recognizes one-fifth of the unamortized gains and losses in the
market-related value of pension assets and all other gains and losses including changes in the discount rate used
to calculate benefit costs each year. Investment gains or losses for this purpose are the difference between the
expected return and the actual return on the market-related value of assets which smoothes asset values over
three years. Although the smoothing period mitigates some volatility in the calculation of annual pension costs,
future pension costs are impacted by changes in the market value of assets and changes in interest rates.

In addition, we maintain medical and life insurance benefits other than pensions that are not funded.

A one percentage point change in the key assumptions would have the following effects on the projected

benefit obligations as of December 31, 2016 and on retirement benefit expense for fiscal 2016:

Contingencies and Litigation

We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings and, as required, have accrued our estimate of the

probable costs and recoveries for resolution of these claims. These estimates are based upon an analysis of
potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that
future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes
in assumptions or the effectiveness of strategies related to these proceedings. See Notes 7(b) and 7(c) in notes to
consolidated financial statements for more detailed information on litigation exposure.

Reserves for Environmental Remediation and Recoverable from the U.S. Government and Other Third
Parties for Environmental Remediation Costs

For a discussion of our accounting for environmental remediation obligations and costs and related legal

matters, see “Environmental Matters” above and Notes 7(c) and 7(d) in notes to consolidated financial
statements.

We accrue for costs associated with the remediation of environmental contamination when it becomes
probable that a liability has been incurred, and when our costs can be reasonably estimated. Management has a

72

well-established process in place to identify and monitor our environmental exposures. In most cases, only a
range of reasonably probable costs can be estimated. In establishing the reserves, the most probable estimated
amount is used when determinable, and the minimum amount is used when no single amount in the range is more
probable. Environmental reserves include the costs of completing remedial investigation and feasibility studies,
remedial and corrective actions, regulatory oversight costs, the cost of operation and maintenance of the remedial
action plan, and employee compensation costs for employees who are expected to devote a significant amount of
time to remediation efforts. Calculation of environmental reserves is based on the evaluation of currently
available information with respect to each individual environmental site and considers factors such as existing
technology, presently enacted laws and regulations, and prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites.
Such estimates are based on the expected costs of investigation and remediation and the likelihood that other
potentially responsible parties will be able to fulfill their commitments at sites where we may be jointly or
severally liable.

At the time a liability is recorded for future environmental costs, we record an asset for estimated future

recoveries that are estimable and probable. Some of our environmental costs are eligible for future recovery in
the pricing of our products and services to the U.S. government and under existing third party agreements. We
consider the recovery probable based on the Global Settlement, Northrop Agreement, U.S. government
contracting regulations, and our long history of receiving reimbursement for such costs.

Income Taxes

We file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return for the Company and our 100% owned consolidated
subsidiaries. The deferred tax assets and/or liabilities are determined by multiplying the differences between the
financial reporting and tax reporting bases for assets and liabilities by the enacted tax rates expected to be in
effect when such differences are recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is
recognized in the period of the enactment date of the change.

The carrying value of our deferred tax assets is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient taxable

income in the future. A valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a
deferred tax asset will not be realized. A review of all available positive and negative evidence is considered,
including our past and future performance, the market environment in which we operate, the utilization of tax
attributes in the past, the length of carryback and carryforward periods, and evaluation of potential tax planning
strategies.

Despite our belief that our tax return positions are consistent with applicable tax laws, we believe that
certain positions are likely to be challenged by taxing authorities. Settlement of any challenge can result in no
change, a complete disallowance, or some partial adjustment reached through negotiations or litigation. Our tax
reserves reflect the difference between the tax benefit claimed on tax returns and the amount recognized in the
financial statements. The accounting standards provide guidance for the recognition and measurement in
financial statements for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a
tax position is a two-step process, the first step being recognition. We determine whether it is more likely than
not that a tax position will be sustained upon tax examination, including resolution of any related appeals or
litigation, based on only the technical merits of the position. The technical merits of a tax position are derived
from both statutory and judicial authority (legislation and statutes, legislative intent, regulations, rulings, and
case law) and their applicability to the facts and circumstances of the tax position. If a tax position does not meet
the more likely than not recognition threshold, the benefit of that position is not recognized in the financial
statements. The second step is measurement. A tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition
threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax
position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon
ultimate resolution with a taxing authority. As the examination process progresses with tax authorities,
adjustments to tax reserves may be necessary to reflect taxes payable upon settlement. Tax reserve adjustments
related to positions impacting the effective tax rate affect the provision for income taxes. Tax reserve adjustments
related to positions impacting the timing of deductions impact deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Policies and Procedures

As an element of our normal business practice, we have established policies and procedures for managing

our exposure to changes in interest rates.

The objective in managing exposure to interest rate changes is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on
earnings and cash flow and to make overall borrowing costs more predictable. To achieve this objective, we may
use interest rate hedge transactions or other interest rate hedge instruments to manage the net exposure to interest
rate changes related to our portfolio of borrowings and to balance our fixed rate compared to floating rate debt.
We did not enter into any interest rate hedge transactions or instruments during the past three fiscal years.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk principally due to changes in interest rates. Debt with interest rate risk
includes borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility. The interest rate risk related to our tax-qualified pension
plan assets and liabilities can be found in the “Retirement Benefit Plans” discussion above. As of December 31,
2016, our debt principal amounts totaled $725.6 million: $335.6 million, or 46%, was at an average fixed rate of
2.44%; and $390.0 million, or 54%, was at a variable rate of 3.02%.

In December 2016, we notified holders of our 4 1/16% Debentures that we would redeem, on February 3,
2017, all of their 4 1/16% Debentures at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 4 1/16%
Debentures to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In January 2017, $35.6 million of the
4 1/16% Debentures (the entire amount outstanding as of December 31, 2016) were converted to 3.9 million
shares of common stock.

The fair values of the 7 1/8% Notes, 2 1/4% Notes, and 4 1/16% Debentures were determined using broker
quotes that are based on open markets for our debt securities (Level 2 securities). The term loans bore interest at
variable rates, which adjusted based on market conditions, and their carrying values approximated fair value.

Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of
operations, of comprehensive income (loss), of stockholders’ equity (deficit), and of cash flows present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 2016, for the one month ended December 31, 2015, and for each of the two years in the period
ended November 30, 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Also in our opinion, the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)
because a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to ineffective controls over the
completeness and accuracy of the Company’s accounting for income taxes, including the income tax provision
and related tax assets and liabilities, existed as of that date. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis. The material weakness referred to above is described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. We considered this material weakness in determining the nature,
timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2016 consolidated financial statements, and our
opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not affect our
opinion on those consolidated financial statements. The Company’s management is responsible for these
financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of
the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in management’s report referred to above.
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal
control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting,
assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

75

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

The consolidated financial statements of Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc. (“Aerojet Rocketdyne
Holdings” or the “Company”) include the accounts of the parent company and its 100% owned and majority
owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to financial information for prior years to conform to the
current year’s presentation.

The Company is a manufacturer of aerospace and defense products and systems with a real estate segment.

The Company’s operations are organized into two segments:

Aerospace and Defense — includes the operations of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Aerojet
Rocketdyne, Inc. (“Aerojet Rocketdyne”), a leading technology-based designer, developer and manufacturer of
aerospace and defense products and systems for the United States (“U.S.”) government, including the
Department of Defense (“DoD”), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”), major
aerospace and defense prime contractors as well as portions of the commercial sector.

Real Estate — includes the activities of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Easton Development
Company, LLC (“Easton”) related to the re-zoning, entitlement, sale, and leasing of the Company’s excess real
estate assets. The Company is currently in the process of seeking zoning changes and other governmental
approvals on its excess real estate assets to optimize its value.

In January 2016, the Company’s board of directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year-end

from November 30 of each year to December 31 of each year. The fiscal year of the Company’s subsidiary,
Aerojet Rocketdyne, ends on the last Saturday in December. As a result of the change, the Company had a one
month transition period in December 2015. The audited results for the one month ended December 31, 2015 and
the unaudited results for the one month ended December 31, 2014 are included in these financial statements (see
Note 12). Further, as a result of the 2016 calendar, Aerojet Rocketdyne had 53 weeks of operations in the twelve
months ended December 31, 2016 compared to 52 weeks of operations in the twelve months ended
November 30, 2015 and 2014. The additional week of operations, which occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2016, accounted for $32.2 million in additional net sales.

In August 2004, the Company completed the sale of its GDX Automotive business. In November 2005, the
Company completed the sale of the Fine Chemicals business. The remaining related subsidiaries after the sale of
GDX Automotive and the Fine Chemicals business are classified as discontinued operations.

In June 2013, the Company acquired the Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne division (the “Rocketdyne Business”)

from United Technologies Corporation (“UTC”).

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally

accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

b. Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three

months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company aggregates its cash balances by bank, and
reclassifies any negative balances, if applicable, to accounts payable.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

c. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The accounting standards use a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring

fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly
observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore
requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The following are measured at fair value:

In December 2016, the Company notified holders of its 4 1/16% Debentures that the Company would redeem,
on February 3, 2017, all of their 4 1/16% Debentures at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the 4 1/16% Debentures to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In January 2017,
$35.6 million of the 4 1/16% Debentures (the entire amount outstanding as of December 31, 2016) were
converted to 3.9 million shares of common stock.

The fair values of the 7 1/8% Notes, 2 1/4% Notes, and 4 1/16% Debentures were determined using broker
quotes that are based on open markets for the Company’s debt securities (Level 2 securities). The term loans bore
interest at variable rates, which adjusted based on market conditions, and their carrying values approximated fair
value.

d. Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable associated with long-term contracts consist of billed and unbilled amounts. Billed
amounts include invoices presented to customers that have not been paid. Unbilled amounts relate to sales that
have been recorded and billings that have not been presented to customers. Amounts for overhead disallowances
or billing decrements are reflected in unbilled receivables and primarily represent estimates of potential overhead
costs which may not be successfully negotiated and collected.

Other receivables represent amounts billed where sales were not derived from long-term contracts.

e. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, generally using the average cost method. Costs on long-

term contracts and programs in progress represent recoverable costs incurred for production, contract-specific
facilities and equipment, allocable operating overhead, advances to suppliers, environmental expenses and, in the
case of contracts with the U.S. government, allocable costs deemed allowable under U.S. government
procurement regulations for bid and proposal, research and development, and general and administrative
expenses. The Company capitalizes costs incurred in advance of contract award or funding in inventories if it
determines that contract award or funding is probable. Amounts previously capitalized are expensed when a
contract award or funding is no longer probable. Pursuant to contract provisions, agencies of the

84

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

U.S. government and certain other customers have title to, or a security interest in, inventories related to such
contracts as a result of performance-based and progress payments. Such progress payments are reflected as an
offset against the related inventory balances.

f. Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with its 100% owned consolidated
subsidiaries. The deferred tax assets and/or liabilities are determined by multiplying the differences between the
financial reporting and tax reporting bases for assets and liabilities by the enacted tax rates expected to be in
effect when such differences are recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is
recognized in the period of the enactment date of the change.

The carrying value of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient

taxable income in the future. A valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or a
portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. A review of all available positive and negative evidence is
considered, including the Company’s past and future performance, the market environment in which it operates,
the utilization of tax attributes in the past, the length of carryback and carryforward periods, and evaluation of
potential tax planning strategies.

Despite the Company’s belief that its tax return positions are consistent with applicable tax laws, the

Company believes that certain positions are likely to be challenged by taxing authorities. Settlement of any
challenge can result in no change, a complete disallowance, or some partial adjustment reached through
negotiations or litigation. The Company’s tax reserves reflect the difference between the tax benefit claimed on
tax returns and the amount recognized in the financial statements. The accounting standards provide guidance for
the recognition and measurement in financial statements for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken
in a tax return. The evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process, the first step being recognition. The
Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon tax
examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, based on only the technical merits of the
position. The technical merits of a tax position are derived from both statutory and judicial authority (legislation
and statutes, legislative intent, regulations, rulings, and case law) and their applicability to the facts and
circumstances of the tax position. If a tax position does not meet the more likely than not recognition threshold,
the benefit of that position is not recognized in the financial statements. The second step is measurement. A tax
position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit
to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is
greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate resolution with a taxing authority. As the examination
process progresses with tax authorities, adjustments to tax reserves may be necessary to reflect taxes payable
upon settlement. Tax reserve adjustments related to positions impacting the effective tax rate affect the provision
for income taxes. Tax reserve adjustments related to positions impacting the timing of deductions impact
deferred tax assets and liabilities.

g. Property, Plant and Equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Refurbishment costs are capitalized in the property

accounts, whereas ordinary maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed
principally by accelerated methods based on the following useful lives:

Buildings and improvements
Machinery and equipment

9 - 40 years
5 - 19 years

85

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

Costs related to software acquired, developed or modified solely to meet the Company’s internal
requirements and for which there are no substantive plans to market are capitalized in accordance with the
authoritative guidance on accounting for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use.
Only costs incurred after the preliminary planning stage of the project and after management has authorized and
committed funds to the project are eligible for capitalization.

h. Real Estate Held for Entitlement and Leasing

The Company capitalizes all costs associated with the real estate entitlement and leasing process. The

Company classifies activities related to the entitlement, sale, and leasing of its excess real estate assets as
operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

i. Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired enterprise or assets over the fair values
of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Tests for impairment of goodwill are performed on an
annual basis, or at any other time if events occur or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill
may not be recoverable. All of the Company’s recorded goodwill resides in the Aerospace and Defense reporting
unit. The Company evaluated goodwill using a “Step Zero” analysis as of October 1, 2016, September 1, 2016,
and September 1, 2015, and determined that goodwill was not impaired.

The Company evaluates qualitative factors (including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market
considerations, cost factors, and overall financial performance) to determine whether it is necessary to perform
the first step of the two-step goodwill test. This step is referred to as the “Step Zero” analysis. If it is determined
that it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its
carrying amount, the Company will need to proceed to the first step (“Step One”) of the two-step goodwill
impairment test. In evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than
its carrying amount, relevant events and circumstances as discussed below shall be assessed. If, after assessing
the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair
value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the first and second steps of the impairment test are
unnecessary.

Circumstances that could trigger an impairment test include but are not limited to: a significant adverse

change in the business climate or legal factors; adverse cash flow trends; an adverse action or assessment by a
regulator; unanticipated competition; loss of key personnel; decline in stock price; and results of testing for
recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s
goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recorded.

There can be no assurance that the Company’s estimates and assumptions made for purposes of its goodwill

impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If the Company’s assumptions and
estimates are incorrect, the Company may be required to record goodwill impairment charges in future periods.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, and in connection with the Company’s change in fiscal year end,

as described in Note 1(a), from November 30 to December 31, the Company changed its annual test of goodwill
impairment from September 1 of each year to October 1 of each year. With respect to its annual goodwill testing
date, management believes that this voluntary change in accounting method is preferable as it aligns the annual
impairment testing date with the Company’s long-range planning cycle, the timing of which has changed
consistent with the change in the Company’s fiscal year end and which is a significant element in the testing
process. In connection with this change, the Company first performed an impairment test as of September 1,

2016 and then performed an additional test as of October 1, 2016. This change in annual testing date does not
delay, accelerate or avoid an impairment charge.

j. Intangible Assets

Identifiable intangible assets, such as patents, trademarks, and licenses are recorded at cost or when acquired

as part of a business combination at estimated fair value. Identifiable intangible assets are amortized based on
when they provide the Company economic benefit, or using the straight-line method, over their estimated useful
life. Amortization periods for identifiable intangible assets range from 7 years to 30 years.

k. Environmental Remediation

The Company expenses, on a current basis, recurring costs associated with managing hazardous substances

and contamination in ongoing operations. The Company accrues for costs associated with the remediation of
environmental contamination when it becomes probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be
reasonably estimated. In most cases only a range of reasonably possible costs can be estimated. In establishing
the Company’s reserves, the most probable estimated amount is used when determinable, and the minimum
amount is used when no single amount in the range is more probable. The Company’s environmental reserves
include the costs of completing remedial investigation and feasibility studies, remedial and corrective actions,
regulatory oversight costs, the cost of operation and maintenance of the remedial action plan, and employee
compensation costs for employees who are expected to devote a significant amount of time to remediation
efforts. Calculation of environmental reserves is based on the evaluation of currently available information with
respect to each individual environmental site and considers factors such as existing technology, presently enacted
laws and regulations, and prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites. Such estimates are based on the
expected costs of investigation and remediation and the likelihood that other potentially responsible parties will
be able to fulfill their commitments at sites where the Company may be jointly or severally liable. At the time a
liability is recorded for future environmental costs, the Company records an asset for estimated future recoveries
that are estimable and probable. Some of the Company’s environmental costs are eligible for future recovery in
the pricing of its products and services to the U.S. government and under existing third party agreements. The
Company considers the recovery probable based on the Global Settlement, Northrop Agreement, U.S.
government contracting regulations, and its long history of receiving reimbursement for such costs (see
Notes 7(c) and (d)).

l. Retirement Benefits

The Company’s defined benefit pension plan future benefit accrual was discontinued in fiscal 2009. In
addition, the Company provides medical and life insurance benefits (“postretirement benefits”) to certain eligible
retired employees, with varied coverage by employee group. Annual charges are made for the cost of the plans,
including administrative costs, interest costs on benefit obligations, and net amortization and deferrals, increased
or reduced by the return on assets. The Company also sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) plan and
participation in the plan is available to all employees (see Note 6).

m. Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations

Conditional asset retirement obligations (“CAROs”) are legal obligations associated with the retirement of

long-lived assets. These liabilities are initially recorded at fair value and the related asset retirement costs are
capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related assets by the same amount as the liability. Asset
retirement costs are subsequently depreciated over the useful lives of the related assets. Subsequent to initial

87

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

recognition, the Company records period-to-period changes in the CARO liability resulting from the passage of
time and revisions to either the timing or the amount of the estimate of the undiscounted cash flows.

The Company’s estimate of CAROs associated with owned properties relates to estimated costs necessary
for the legally required removal or remediation of various regulated materials, primarily asbestos disposal and
radiological decontamination of an ordnance manufacturing facility. For CAROs that are not expected to be
retired in the next 15 years, the Company estimated the retirement date of such asset retirement obligations to be
30 years from the date of adoption of the applicable accounting standard. For leased properties, such obligations
relate to the estimated cost of contractually required property restoration.

The changes in the carrying amount of CAROs since November 30, 2013 were as follows (in millions):

n. Advance Payments on Contracts

The Company receives advances from customers which may exceed costs incurred on certain contracts.

Such advances or billings in excess of cost and estimated earnings, other than those reflected as a reduction of
inventories as progress payments, are classified as current liabilities.

o. Loss Contingencies

The Company is currently involved in certain legal proceedings and, as required, has accrued its estimate of

the probable costs and recoveries for resolution of these claims. These estimates are based upon an analysis of
potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that
future results of operations or cash flows for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in
estimates or the effectiveness of strategies related to these proceedings.

p. Warranties

The Company provides product warranties in conjunction with certain product sales. The majority of the

Company’s warranties are a one-year standard warranty for parts, workmanship, and compliance with
specifications. On occasion, the Company has made commitments beyond the standard warranty obligation.
While the Company has contracts with warranty provisions, there is not a history of any significant warranty
claims experience. A reserve for warranty exposure is made on a product by product basis when it is both
estimable and probable. These costs are included in the program’s estimate at completion and are expensed in
accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition methodology as allowed under GAAP for that particular
contract.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

q. Revenue Recognition

The Company considers the nature of the individual underlying contract and the type of products and

services provided in determining the proper accounting for a particular contract. Each method is applied
consistently to all contracts having similar characteristics, as described below.

Under the percentage of completion method, the Company recognizes sales based upon the Company’s
progress against the contracted performance objectives. Progress is generally measured as costs are incurred
(cost-to-cost method) or as units are delivered to customers (units-of-delivery) depending on the contractual
terms and scope of work of the each contract. The Company uses the cost-to-cost measure, where the scope of
work on contracts principally relates to research and/or development efforts, or the contract is predominantly a
development effort with few deliverable units. Under cost-to-cost, the Company recognizes sales as costs are
incurred. The Company uses the units-of-delivery measure to recognize sales when contracts require unit
deliveries on a frequent and routine basis. Under units-of-delivery, the Company recognizes sales at the
contractually agreed upon unit price as units are sold.

For fixed-priced contracts, variance in actual costs from the cost estimates used in determining the fixed
price impact the overall profit from the contract. The Company recognizes these variances during the contact
performance period. Fixed-priced and cost-reimbursable contracts may provide for variable consideration
including awards, incentives, and/or penalties based upon the customer’s assessment of performance against
pre-established targets or other criteria. These targets may include factors such as cost, performance, quality, and
schedule. The Company recognizes variable consideration over the contract performance period based upon the
Company’s estimates of performance against the established criteria.

The recognition of sales and profit on long-term contracts requires the use of assumptions and estimates
related to the contract value or total contract revenue, variable consideration, the total cost at completion and the
measurement of progress towards completion. Due to the nature of the programs, developing these estimates
requires the use of significant judgment. Factors considered include, but are not limited to, labor productivity, the
nature and technical complexity of the work to be performed, availability and cost volatility of materials,
subcontractor and vendor performance, warranty costs, volume assumptions, anticipated labor agreements and
inflationary trends, schedule and performance delays, availability of funding from the customer, and the
recoverability of costs incurred outside the original contract included in any estimates to complete. The Company
continually evaluates the facts, circumstances, and assumptions supporting these estimates. Any adjustments to
net sales resulting from changes in estimates are recognized in the current period for the inception-to-date effect
of such changes. Changes in estimates and assumptions related to the status of certain long-term contracts may
have a material effect on the Company’s operating results.

The fiscal 2016 favorable changes in contract estimates were primarily driven by better than expected
performance on space launch systems primarily due to affordability initiatives and lower overhead costs partially
offset by cost growth and manufacturing inefficiencies on electric propulsion contracts. The one month ended
December 31, 2015 favorable changes in contract estimates were primarily driven by better than expected
performance on tactical and missile defense programs primarily due to affordability initiatives and lower
overhead costs partially offset by cost growth and manufacturing inefficiencies on an electric propulsion
contract. The fiscal 2015 favorable changes in contract estimates were primarily driven by the following (i) better
than expected performance on space launch systems and missile defense programs primarily due to affordability
initiatives and lower overhead costs and (ii) unexpected favorable contract performance on close-out activities on
the J-2X program. The fiscal 2014 favorable changes in contract estimates were primarily driven by better than
expected performance on a space launch system program due to favorable contract negotiations and affordability
initiatives partially offset by unanticipated inefficiencies and cost growth on the Antares AJ-26 program.

Revenue on service or time and material contracts is recognized when performed. If at any time expected

costs exceed the value of the contract, the loss is recognized immediately.

If change orders are in dispute or are unapproved in regard to both scope and price they are evaluated as
claims. The Company recognizes revenue on claims when recovery of the claim is probable and the amount can
be reasonably estimated. Revenue on claims is recognized only to the extent that contract costs related to the
claims have been incurred and when it is probable that the claim will result in a bona fide addition to contract
value that can be reliably estimated. No profit is recognized on a claim until final settlement occurs.

Revenue from real estate asset sales is recognized when a sufficient down-payment has been received,
financing has been arranged and title, possession and other attributes of ownership have been transferred to the
buyer. The allocation to cost of sales on real estate asset sales is based on a relative fair market value
computation of the land sold which includes the basis on the Company’s book value, capitalized entitlement
costs, and an estimate of the Company’s continuing financial commitment.

Revenue that is not derived from long-term development and production contracts, or real estate asset
transactions, is recognized when persuasive evidence of a final agreement exists, delivery has occurred, the

selling price is fixed or determinable and payment from the customer is reasonably assured. Sales are recorded
net of provisions for customer pricing allowances.

r. Research and Development (“R&D”)

Company-sponsored R&D expenses (reported as a component of cost of sales) were $43.0 million in fiscal

2016, $74.4 million in fiscal 2015, $51.9 million in fiscal 2014, and $4.6 million in the one month ended
December 31, 2015. Company-sponsored R&D expenses include the costs of technical activities that are useful
in developing new products, services, processes, or techniques, as well as expenses for technical activities that
may significantly improve existing products or processes. These expenses are generally allocated among all
contracts and programs in progress under U.S. government contractual arrangements. From time to time, the
Company believes it is in its best interests to self-fund and not allocate costs for certain R&D activities to the
U.S. government contracts and the Company had $32.1 million of such costs in fiscal 2015 related to the AR1
engine, see discussion below.

Customer-sponsored R&D expenditures, which are funded under U.S. government contracts, totaled
$513.0 million in fiscal 2016, $485.8 million in fiscal 2015, $481.2 million in fiscal 2014, and $33.7 million in
the one month ended December 31, 2015. Expenditures under customer-sponsored R&D funded U.S.
government contracts are accounted for as sales and cost of products sold.

AR1 Research and Development

Company-sponsored R&D expenses are generally reimbursed via allocation of such expenses among all
contracts and programs in progress under U.S. government contractual arrangements. The newest large liquid
booster engine development project, the AR1, recorded $39.3 million of such reimbursable costs from inception
through December 31, 2016. In February 2016, the U.S. Air Force selected Aerojet Rocketdyne and United
Launch Alliance (“ULA”) to share in a public-private partnership to develop jointly the AR1 engine. The total
agreement is valued at $804.0 million with the U.S. Air Force investing two-thirds of the funding required to
complete development of the AR1 engine by 2019. The work is expected to be completed no later than
December 31, 2019. The U.S. Air Force has obligated $115.3 million with Aerojet Rocketdyne contributing
$52.7 million and ULA contributing $5.0 million. The total potential U.S. government investment, including all
options, is $536.0 million. The total potential investment by Aerojet Rocketdyne and its partners, including all
options, is $268.0 million. Under the terms of the AR1 agreement, the U.S. Air Force contributions are
recognized proportionately as an offset to R&D expenses. In the event the Company records a receivable for a
milestone prior to expending the prospective proportional share to be contributed by the Company, the amount is
recorded as an accrued liability until earned. Through December 31, 2016, the Company has recorded receivables
in the aggregate from the U.S. Air Force and ULA of $97.9 million (of which $87.5 million has been collected)
related to AR1 engine development which was recorded as a reduction of the AR1 R&D costs. The AR1
inception to date project costs were as follows (in millions):

AR1 R&D costs incurred

s. Stock-based Compensation

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation in the statements of operations at the grant-date fair
value of stock awards issued to employees and directors over the vesting period. The Company also grants Stock
Appreciation Rights (“SARS”) awards which are similar to the Company’s employee stock options, but are
settled in cash rather than in shares of common stock, and are classified as liability awards. Compensation cost
for these awards is determined using a fair-value method and remeasured at each reporting date until the date of
settlement. The Company utilizes the short-cut method for determining the historical pool of windfall tax benefits
and the tax law ordering approach for purposes of determining whether an excess tax benefit has been realized.

t. Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of long-lived assets is recognized when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of the asset, or related groups of assets, may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a
review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse
changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount
originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses
combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; or a
current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of
its estimated useful life. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the
undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the Company
determines that an asset is not recoverable, then the Company would record an impairment charge if the carrying
value of the asset exceeds its fair value.

A long-lived asset classified as “held for sale” is initially measured at the lower of its carrying amount or

fair value less costs to sell. In the period that the “held for sale” criteria are met, the Company recognizes an
impairment charge for any initial adjustment of the long-lived asset amount. Gains or losses not previously
recognized resulting from the sale of a long-lived asset are recognized on the date of sale.

u. Foreign Currency Transactions

Foreign currency transaction losses and (gains) were $0.1 million in fiscal 2016, $0.1 million in fiscal 2015,
$(0.3) million in fiscal 2014, and $0.1 million in the one month ended December 31, 2015, and are reported as a
component of discontinued operations. The Company’s foreign currency transactions were primarily associated
with the Company’s former GDX business which is classified as discontinued operations in these consolidated
financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements.

v. Concentrations

Dependence upon U.S. government programs and contracts

Sales to the U.S. government and its agencies, including sales to the Company’s significant customers

13% of net sales for fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015, fiscal 2014, and the one month ended December 31, 2015,
respectively. The demand for certain of the Company’s services and products is directly related to the level of
funding of U.S. government programs.

Credit Risk

Aside from investments held in the Company’s retirement benefit plans, financial instruments that could
potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and
trade receivables. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held and managed by recognized financial
institutions and are subject to the Company’s investment policy. The investment policy outlines minimum
acceptable credit ratings for each type of investment and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one security
issue. The Company does not believe significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these
investments.

Dependence on Single Source and Other Third Party Suppliers

The Company uses a significant quantity of raw materials that are highly dependent on market fluctuations
and government regulations. Further, as a U.S. government contractor, the Company is often required to procure
materials from suppliers capable of meeting rigorous customer and government specifications. As market
conditions change for these companies, they often discontinue materials with low sales volumes or profit

93

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

margins. The Company is often forced to either qualify new materials or pay higher prices to maintain the
supply. To-date the Company has been successful in establishing replacement materials and securing customer
funding to address specific qualification needs of the programs. Prolonged disruptions in the supply of any of the
Company’s key raw materials, difficulty qualifying new sources of supply, implementing use of replacement
materials or new sources of supply, and/or a continuing volatility in the prices of raw materials could have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results, financial condition, and/or cash flows.

Workforce

As of December 31, 2016, 15% of the Company’s employees were covered by collective bargaining

agreements.

w. Related Parties

The executive chairman of the Company’s board of directors is executive chairman of Steel Partners
Holdings L.P. (“Steel Holdings”). Steel Holdings owned 100% of SP Corporate Services LLC (“SP Corporate”),
which has merged with and into SPH Services, Inc. (“SPH Services”). Steel Holdings owns 100% of SPH

2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company invests in money market funds managed by BlackRock.

x. Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment to the accounting

guidance related to the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendment requires that debt issuance costs
related to a debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that
debt liability, consistent with debt discounts or premiums. The Company adopted this guidance as of
December 31, 2015 (see Note 5). As the accounting standard only impacted presentation, the new standard did
not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance that requires deferred tax liabilities and assets to be classified
as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheet. The standard will be effective for financial statements issued for
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early
adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company adopted this
guidance retrospectively to all periods presented as of December 31, 2016 which resulted in $36.5 million of

94

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

current deferred income taxes as of December 31, 2015 being reclassified as noncurrent. As the accounting
standard only impacted presentation, the new standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In August 2014, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance related to the evaluation of an

entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The amendment establishes management’s responsibility to
evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern in connection
with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period. The update also gives guidance
to determine whether to disclose information about relevant conditions and events when there is substantial doubt
about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company adopted this guidance as of December 31,
2016 and no additional information was required to be presented as result of the adoption. As the accounting
standard only impacted presentation, the new standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The
amendments are based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised
goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be
entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The effective date is for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2017. Earlier application of this guidance is permitted but not before December 15, 2016. The
amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative
effect recognized as of the date of initial application. The Company plans to adopt the guidance during the first
quarter of 2018, retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized during that quarter. The Company has
developed a comprehensive implementation plan across all segments that includes evaluating the impact of the
new guidance on existing contracts, and updating impacted accounting policies, processes, controls and systems.
The Company expects the primary impact of the new guidance will be a change in the timing of when revenue is
recognized on certain fixed price and cost reimbursable type contracts. The new guidance prescribes that an
entity recognizes revenue when (or as) it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or
service to a customer. A good or service is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset.
Under this new guidance, the Company expects to discontinue the use of the unit-of-delivery method on certain
customer contracts and remeasure performance obligations using the cost-to-cost method. The Company expects
the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on net sales recognized in any given fiscal year and
will also result in the reclassification of contract related assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company
does not expect the new guidance to change the total revenue or operating income on the related customer
contracts, only the timing of when those revenues are recognized.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance requiring lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease

liability on the balance sheet for all leases with the exception of short-term leases. For lessees, leases will
continue to be classified as either operating or finance leases in the income statement. Lessor accounting is
similar to the current model but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model. Lessors will continue
to classify leases as operating, direct financing or sales-type leases. The effective date of the new standard is for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is
permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition and requires application
of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The Company is evaluating
the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB amended the existing accounting guidance related to stock compensation. The
amendment requires all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when awards vest

95

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

and allows a choice to account for forfeitures on an estimated or actual basis. There is also a requirement to
present excess income tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early
adoption is permitted, but all of the guidance must be adopted in the same period. The new guidance is not
expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In August 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance related to classification of
certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The standard provides guidance for eight
targeted changes with respect to how cash receipts and cash payments are classified in the statement of cash
flows, with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. The standard is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is
evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance related to goodwill

impairment. The update eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test for public business entities. The
standard should be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment
tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is
evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

The current and noncurrent Rocketdyne Business integration costs capitalized as of December 31, 2016 and

2015 totaled $22.8 million and $33.1 million, respectively. These integration costs became subject to
reimbursement by the U.S. government in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 due to the following: (i) completion of
the U.S. government’s audit and approval that the Company’s planned integration savings will exceed its
restructuring costs by a factor of at least two to one; (ii) determination from the Under Secretary of Defense that
the audited restructuring savings exceed the costs by a factor of two to one; and (iii) execution on August 16,
2016 of an advance agreement with the Defense Contract Management Agency.

The Company amortizes deferred financing costs over the estimated life of the related debt (a portion of
which is classified as a contra liability). Amortization of deferred financing costs was $2.0 million, $2.7 million,
$3.6 million and $0.2 million in fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015, fiscal 2014 and the one month ended December 31,
2015, respectively.

g. Assets Held for Sale

As of February 28, 2015, the Company classified approximately 550 acres, known as Hillsborough and
representing a portion of the 5,563 acre Easton plan, as assets held for sale as a result of its plans to sell the
Hillsborough land. The Hillsborough land was reported as real estate held for entitlement and leasing as of
November 30, 2014. For operating segment reporting, the Hillsborough land has been reported as a part of the
Real Estate segment.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company finalized the sale of the Hillsborough land for a total

purchase price of $57.0 million which was comprised of $46.7 million cash and $10.3 million of promissory
notes. The total acreage covered by the Hillsborough land transaction was approximately 700 acres, of which
approximately 550 acres was recognized as a sale in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. At the initial closing, the
buyer paid $40.0 million cash and executed a $9.0 million promissory note secured by a first lien Deed of Trust
on a portion of the sale property which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $30.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal
2015. In addition, approximately 150 acres of this land, including a 50-acre portion known as “Area 40,” was
held back from the initial closing. Upon receipt of regulatory approvals, a closing will take place for the sale of

101

the developable portions of such holdback acreage for a purchase price of $6.7 million in cash. A summary of the
impact of the land sale on the consolidated statement of operations for fiscal 2015 was as follows (in millions):

In fiscal 2014, the Company classified its energy business (the “Energy Business”) as assets held for sale as

a result of its plans to sell the business. The Company divested the Energy Business in July 2015 for an
insignificant amount of proceeds. The Company incurred approximately $1.8 million of expenses to divest its
Energy Business. The assets and liabilities of the Energy Business for all periods presented were insignificant.
The plan was a result of management’s decision to focus its capital and resources on its Aerospace and Defense
and Real Estate operating segments. The net sales associated with the Energy Business totaled $0.6 million in
fiscal 2015 and 2014. For operating segment reporting, the Energy Business has been reported as a part of the
Aerospace and Defense segment.

In fiscal 2014, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement associated with the sale of certain
intellectual property related to a solar power contract. The related contract was terminated in connection with the
sale. The proceeds from the sale were $7.5 million resulting in a gain of $6.8 million which is included in “Other,
net” in the consolidated statement of operations.

k. Redeemable Common Stock

The Company inadvertently failed to register with the SEC the issuance of certain of its common shares in

its defined contribution 401(k) employee benefit plan (the “Plan”). As a result, certain Plan participants who
purchased such securities pursuant to the Plan may have the right to rescind certain of their purchases for

103

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

consideration equal to the purchase price paid for the securities (or if such security has been sold, to receive
consideration with respect to any loss incurred on such sale) plus interest from the date of purchase. As of
December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has classified 0.1 million shares as redeemable common stock
because the redemption features are not within the control of the Company. The Company may also be subject to
civil and other penalties by regulatory authorities as a result of the failure to register these shares. These shares
have always been treated as outstanding for financial reporting purposes. In June 2008, the Company filed a
registration statement on Form S-8 to register future transactions in the Company’s stock fund in the Plan.
During fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015, fiscal 2014, and the one month ended December 31, 2015, the Company
recorded less than $0.1 million, ($0.1) million, and $0.9 million, and $0.4 million, respectively, for realized
(gains)/losses and interest associated with this matter.

Effective income tax rate — provision

38.2%

1.8%

49.4%

22.2%

In fiscal 2016, the Company’s effective tax rate was an income tax expense of 38.2% on pre-tax income of

$29.3 million. The Company’s effective tax rate differed from the 35.0% statutory federal income tax rate due
largely to state income taxes and certain expenditures which are permanently not deductible for tax purposes,
partially offset by the impact of R&D credits.

In fiscal 2015, the Company’s effective tax rate was an income tax expense of 1.8% on a pre-tax loss from

continuing operations of $16.8 million. The Company’s effective tax rate differed from the 35.0% statutory
federal income tax rate due largely to state income taxes and certain non-deductible interest expense partially
offset by the retroactive reinstatement of the federal R&D credit and benefits allowed by Section 199 of the
Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) code allowed to manufacturers.

In fiscal 2014, the Company’s effective tax rate was an income tax expense of 49.4% on a pre-tax loss from
continuing operations of $33.0 million. The Company’s effective tax rate differed from the 35% statutory federal
income tax rate due largely to the non-deductible premiums paid upon the redemption of portions of the
convertible debt, state income taxes, impacts from the final R&D credit study, benefits allowed by Section 199 of
the IRS code allowed to manufacturers, and certain non-deductible interest expense.

In the one month ended December 31, 2015, the Company’s effective tax rate was an income tax expense of

22.2% on pre-tax income of $9.0 million. The Company’s effective tax rate differed from the 35% statutory
federal income tax rate primarily due to the re-enactment of the federal R&D credit in December 2015 for
calendar year 2015 which has been treated as a discrete event for the December 2015 one-month period, as well
as impacts from state income taxes, benefits allowed by Section 199 of the IRS code allowed to manufacturers,
and R&D credits.

The timing of recording or releasing a valuation allowance requires significant management judgment. The
amount of the valuation allowance released by the Company represents a portion of deferred tax assets that was
deemed more-likely-than-not that the Company will realize the benefits based on the analysis in which the
positive evidence outweighed the negative evidence.

A valuation allowance is required when it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets

may not be realized. Establishment and removal of a valuation allowance requires management to consider all
positive and negative evidence and to make a judgmental decision regarding the amount of valuation allowance
required as of a reporting date. The weight given to the evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can
be objectively verified. In the evaluations as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, management has considered all
available evidence, both positive and negative, including but not limited to the following:

105

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

Positive evidence

•

Positive results from continuing operations before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2016;

• The Company’s recent history of generating taxable income which has allowed for the utilization of tax

credit carryforwards;

• Cost Accounting Standards rules that allow the Company to recover certain tax-qualified defined

benefit pension plan cash contributions through its U.S. government contracts;

• Eligibility of some of the Company’s environmental costs for future recovery in the pricing of its

products and services to the U.S. government and under existing third party agreements;

• Establishment and execution of the Competitive Improvement Program evidencing increasing growth

and profitability (see Note 10);

•

Increase in the Company’s contract backlog;

• Lower interest costs as a result of the Company’s fiscal 2016 debt refinancing efforts; and

•

Favorable trends with respect to the market value of certain real estate assets.

Negative evidence

• The three year comprehensive cumulative loss position as of December 31, 2016;

• The Company’s exposure to environmental remediation obligations and the related uncertainty as to the

ultimate exposure upon settlement;

• The significance of the Company’s defined benefit pension obligation and related impact it could have

in future years; and

• The interest expense arising from additional indebtedness incurred in fiscal 2016.

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, management believes that the weight of the positive evidence
outweighed the negative evidence regarding the realization of the net deferred tax assets. Management will
continue to evaluate the ability to realize the Company’s net deferred tax assets and the remaining valuation
allowance on a quarterly basis.

The Company is routinely examined by domestic and foreign tax authorities. While it is difficult to predict

the outcome or timing of a particular tax matter, the Company believes it has adequately provided reserves for
any reasonable foreseeable outcome related to these matters.

As of December 31, 2016, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the

effective tax rate was $5.3 million. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax
positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s accrued interest and penalties related
to uncertain tax positions was $2.4 million. It is reasonably possible that a reduction of up to $29.3 million of
unrecognized tax benefits and related interest and penalties may occur within the next 12 months as a result of
the expiration of certain statutes of limitations.

The years ended November 30, 2012 through December 31, 2016 remain open to examination for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. In addition, the years ended November 30, 2002 through November 30, 2005
remain open as they relate to selected tax attributes utilized during fiscal years 2010 through 2014. For the
Company’s other major taxing jurisdictions, the tax years ended November 30, 2003 through December 31, 2016

On June 17, 2016, the Company entered into a new $750.0 million senior secured Senior Credit Facility (the

“Senior Credit Facility”) with the lenders named therein and Bank of America Merrill Lynch as joint lead
arranger and administrative agent. The Senior Credit Facility matures on June 17, 2021 and consists of (i) a
$350.0 million revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) and (ii) a $400.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”).
Under the Revolver, up to an aggregate of $100.0 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit and up
to an aggregate of $10.0 million is available for swingline loans. The Senior Credit Facility amends and replaces
the prior $300.0 million credit facility which was set to mature in May 2019.

On the closing date, the Company borrowed $100.0 million of loans under the Revolver and used the
proceeds to repay in full the $90.0 million of outstanding term loans under the prior credit facility, fees incurred
for the Senior Credit Facility, and for general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had
$390.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan and had issued $45.3 million letters of credit.

The Term Loan and loans under the Revolver bear interest at LIBOR (or the base rate) plus an applicable

margin ranging from 175 to 250 basis points based on the Company’s leverage ratio (the “Consolidated Net
Leverage Ratio”) at the end of the most recent fiscal quarter. In addition to interest, the Company must also pay
certain fees including (i) letter of credit fees ranging from 175 to 250 basis points per annum on the amount of
issued but undrawn letters of credit and (ii) commitment fees ranging from 30 to 45 basis points per annum on
the unused portion of the Revolver.

109

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

The Term Loan amortizes at a rate of 5.0% per annum of the original drawn amount starting on

September 30, 2016, increasing to 7.5% per annum on September 30, 2018, and increasing to 10.0% per annum
from September 30, 2020 to be paid in equal quarterly installments with any remaining amounts, along with
outstanding borrowings under the Revolver, due on the maturity date. Outstanding borrowings under the
Revolver and the Term Loan may be voluntarily repaid at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or
penalty.

Subject to certain restrictions, all the obligations under the Senior Credit Facility will be guaranteed by the

Company and the existing and future material domestic subsidiaries, other than Easton (the “Guarantors”). As
collateral security for the amount outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility and the guarantees thereof, the
Company and the Guarantors (collectively, the “Loan Parties”) have granted to the administrative agent for the
benefit of the lenders: (i) certain equity interests of the Loan Parties; (ii) first priority liens on substantially all of
the tangible and intangible personal property of the Loan Parties; and (iii) first priority liens on certain real
properties located in Los Angeles, California, Culpepper, Virginia and Redmond Washington (but excluding all
other owned real properties).

The Senior Credit Facility contains covenants requiring the Company to (i) maintain an interest coverage

ratio (the “Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio”) of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 and (ii) maintain a Consolidated
Net Leverage Ratio not to exceed (a) 4.00 to 1.00 for periods ending December 31, 2016 through September 30,
2017; (b) 3.75 to 1.00 for periods ending from December 31, 2017 through September 30, 2018; and (c) 3.50 to
1.00 for periods ending from December 31, 2018 thereafter, provided that the maximum leverage ratio for all
periods shall be increased by 0.50 to 1.00 for two quarters after consummation of a qualified acquisition.

The Company may generally make certain investments, redeem debt subordinated to the Senior Credit

Facility and make certain restricted payments (such as stock repurchases) if the Company’s Consolidated Net
Leverage Ratio does not exceed 3.25 to 1.00 pro forma for such transaction. The Company is otherwise subject to
customary covenants including limitations on asset sales, incurrence of additional debt, and limitations on certain
investments and restricted payments.

2.25% Convertible Senior Notes

On December 14, 2016, the Company issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2 1⁄4% Notes in a

private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”). The 2 1⁄4% Notes bear cash interest at a rate of 2.25% per annum on the principal
amount of the 2 1⁄4% Notes from December 14, 2016, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and
December 15 of each year, beginning June 15, 2017. The 2 1⁄4% Notes will mature on December 15, 2023,
subject to earlier repurchase, redemption or conversion in certain circumstances described below.

The 2 1⁄4% Notes are general unsecured senior obligations, which (i) rank senior in right of payment to all of

the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the
2 1⁄4% Notes; (ii) rank equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured
indebtedness that is not so subordinated; (iii) rank effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s
secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) rank structurally
junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company’s subsidiaries.

The 2 1⁄4% Notes may be converted into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination
thereof initially at a conversion rate of 38.4615 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2 1⁄4%
Notes (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $26.00 per share of common stock), subject to
adjustment from time to time as described in the indenture governing the 2 1⁄4% Notes. Holders may convert their
2 1⁄4% Notes at their option (i) at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately
preceding September 15, 2023 under certain circumstances and (ii) at any time on or after September 15, 2023
until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, irrespective of such
circumstances. In addition, if holders of the 2 1⁄4% Notes elect to convert their 2 1⁄4% Notes in connection with the
occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change, as defined in the indenture governing the 2 1⁄4% Notes, such
holders will be entitled to an increase in the conversion rate upon conversion in certain circumstances.

The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2 1⁄4% Notes, at its option, on or after

December 21, 2020, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 150% of the
conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30
consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the
trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2 1⁄4% Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and
unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

111

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
If a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture governing the 2 1⁄4% Notes, occurs prior to maturity,
subject to certain conditions, holders of the 2 1⁄4% Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase
all or part of their 2 1⁄4% Notes for cash at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of their
principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the fundamental change
repurchase date.

The 2 1⁄4% Notes contain customary events of default, including, among other things, payment default,

covenant default and certain cross-default provisions linked to the payment of other indebtedness of the
Company or its significant subsidiaries.

Issuance of the 2 1⁄4% Notes generated proceeds of $294.2 million net of debt issuance costs, which were

used to repurchase long-term debt and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The Company separately accounted for the liability and equity components of the 2 1⁄4% Notes. The initial
liability component of the 2 1⁄4% Notes was valued based on the present value of the future cash flows using an
estimated borrowing rate at the date of the issuance for similar debt instruments without the conversion feature,
which equals the effective interest rate of 5.8% on the liability component. The equity component, or debt
discount, was initially valued equal to the principal value of the 2 1⁄4% Notes, less the present value of the future
cash flows using an estimated borrowing rate at the date of the issuance for similar debt instruments without a
conversion feature, which equated to the initial debt discount. The debt discount is being amortized as a non-cash
charge to interest expense over the period from the issuance date through December 15, 2023.

The debt issuance costs of $5.8 million incurred in connection with the issuance of the 2 1⁄4% Notes were
capitalized and bifurcated into deferred financing costs of $4.7 million and equity issuance costs of $1.1 million.
The deferred financing costs are being amortized to interest expense from the issuance date through
December 15, 2023.

As of December 31, 2016, the 2 1⁄4% Notes consisted of the following (in millions, except years,

percentages, conversion rate, and conversion price):

4.0625% Convertible Subordinated Debentures

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $35.6 million outstanding principal of its 4 1/16% Debentures,
convertible into 3.9 million of shares of common stock. In December 2016, the Company notified holders of its
4 1/16% Debentures that the Company would redeem, on February 3, 2017, all of their 4 1/16% Debentures at a
purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 4 1/16% Debentures to be redeemed, plus any accrued
and unpaid interest. In January 2017, $35.6 million of the 4 1/16% Debentures (the entire amount outstanding as of
December 31, 2016) were converted to 3.9 million shares of common stock.

In December 2009, the Company issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4 1/16% Debentures

in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The
4 1/16% Debentures mature on December 31, 2039, subject to earlier redemption, repurchase, or conversion.
Interest on the 4 1/16% Debentures accrues at 4.0625% per annum and is payable semiannually in arrears on
June 30 and December 31 of each year, beginning June 30, 2010 (or if any such day is not a business day,
payable on the following business day), and the Company may elect to pay interest in cash or, generally on any
interest payment that is at least one year after the original issuance date of the 4 1/16% Debentures, in shares of the
Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the
Company’s option, subject to certain conditions.

The 4 1/16% Debentures are general unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equal in right of

payment to all of the Company’s other existing and future unsecured subordinated indebtedness. The
4 1/16% Debentures rank junior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior
indebtedness, including all of its obligations under its Senior Credit Facility and all of its existing and future
senior subordinated indebtedness. In addition, the 4 1/16% Debentures are effectively subordinated to any of the
Company’s collateralized debt, to the extent of such collateral, and to any and all debt and liabilities including
trade debt of its subsidiaries.

Each holder of the 4 1/16% Debentures may convert its 4 1/16% Debentures into shares of the Company’s

common stock at a conversion rate of 111.0926 shares per $1,000 principal amount, representing a conversion
price of approximately $9.00 per share, subject to adjustment. In addition, if the holders elect to convert their
4 1/16% Debentures in connection with the occurrence of certain fundamental changes to the Company as
described in the indenture, the holders will be entitled to receive additional shares of common stock upon

113

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

conversion in some circumstances. Upon any conversion of the 4 1/16% Debentures, subject to certain exceptions,
the holders will not receive any cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest.

The Company may at any time redeem any 4 1/16% Debentures for cash (except as described below with

respect to any make-whole premium that may be payable) if the last reported sales price of the Company’s
common stock has been at least 150% of the conversion price then in effect for at least twenty (20) trading days
during any thirty (30) consecutive trading day period ending within five (5) trading days prior to the date on
which the Company provides the notice of redemption.

Each holder may require the Company to repurchase all or part of its 4 1/16% Debentures on December 31,

2019, 2024, 2029 and 2034 (each, an “optional repurchase date”) at an optional repurchase price equal to
(1) 100% of their principal amount, plus (2) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the date of
repurchase. The Company may elect to pay the optional repurchase price in cash, shares of the Company’s
common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s option,
subject to certain conditions.

If a fundamental change to the Company, as described in the indenture governing the 4 1/16% Debentures,

occurs prior to maturity, each holder will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or part of its
4 1/16% Debentures for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

If the Company elects to deliver shares of its common stock as all or part of any interest payment, any
make-whole premium or any optional repurchase price, such shares will be valued at the product of (x) the price
per share of the Company’s common stock determined during: (i) in the case of any interest payment, the twenty
(20) consecutive trading days ending on the second trading day immediately preceding the record date for such
interest payment; (ii) in the case of any make-whole premium payable as part of the redemption price, the twenty
(20) consecutive trading days ending on the second trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; and
(iii) in the case of any optional repurchase price, the forty (40) consecutive trading days ending on the second
trading day immediately preceding the optional repurchase date; (in each case, the “averaging period” with
respect to such date) using the sum of the daily price fractions (where “daily price fraction” means, for each
trading day during the relevant averaging period, 5% in the case of any interest payment or any make-whole
premium or 2.5% in the case of any optional repurchase, multiplied by the daily volume weighted average price
per share of the Company’s common stock for such day), multiplied by (y) 97.5%. The Company will notify
holders at least five (5) business days prior to the start of the relevant averaging period of the extent to which the
Company will pay any portion of the related payment using shares of common stock.

Effective December 21, 2010, in accordance with the terms of the indenture, the restrictive legend on the
4 1/16% Debentures was removed and the 4 1/16% Debentures are freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933 without volume restrictions by any holder that is not an affiliate of the Company at the
time of sale and has not been an affiliate during the preceding three months.

Issuance of the 4 1/16% Debentures generated net proceeds of $194.1 million, which were used to repurchase

long-term debt and other debt related costs.

During fiscal 2014, the Company repurchased $59.6 million principal amount of its 4 1/16% Debentures at
various prices ranging from 195% of par to 212% of par. During fiscal 2015, $49.0 million of 4 1/16% Debentures
were converted to 5.5 million shares of common stock. During fiscal 2016, $49.0 million of 4 1/16% Debentures
were converted to 5.4 million shares of common stock.

Note 6. Retirement Benefits

a. Plan Descriptions

Pension Benefits

The Company’s defined benefit pension plan future benefit accrual was discontinued in fiscal 2009. As of

December 31, 2016, the assets, projected benefit obligations, and unfunded pension obligation for the
tax-qualified pension plans were approximately $925.1 million, $1,492.1 million, and $548.2 million,
respectively.

The Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $72.0 million to its tax-qualified
defined benefit pension plan in fiscal 2017. The Company is generally able to recover these contributions related
to its tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan as allowable costs on its U.S. government contracts, but there is a
lag between when the Company contributes cash to its tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan under pension
funding rules and recovers the cash under the U.S. government Cost Accounting Standards. During fiscal 2016,
the Company made cash contributions of $32.8 million to its tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan of which
$27.5 million was recoverable in the Company’s U.S. government contracts in fiscal 2016 with the remaining
$5.3 million being potentially recoverable in the Company’s U.S. government contracts in the future.

The funded status of the Company’s tax-qualified pension plan may be adversely affected by the investment
experience of the plan’s assets, by any changes in U.S. law and by changes in the statutory interest rates used by
tax-qualified pension plans in the U.S. to calculate funding requirements. Accordingly, if the performance of the
Company’s plan’s assets does not meet assumptions, if there are changes to the Internal Revenue Service
regulations or other applicable law or if other actuarial assumptions are modified, future contributions to the
underfunded pension plans could be higher than the Company expects.

Medical and Life Insurance Benefits

The Company provides medical and life insurance benefits to certain eligible retired employees, with varied

coverage by employee group. Generally, employees hired after January 1, 1997 are not eligible for retiree
medical and life insurance benefits. The medical benefit plan provides for cost sharing between the Company and
its retirees in the form of retiree contributions, deductibles, and coinsurance. Medical and life insurance benefit
obligations are unfunded. Medical and life insurance benefit cash payments for eligible retired employees are
recoverable under the Company’s U.S. government contracts.

Defined Contribution 401(k) Benefits

The Company sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) plan and participation in the plan is available to all

employees. The Company makes matching contributions in cash equal to 100% of the first 3% of the
participants’ compensation contributed and 50% of the next 3% of the compensation contributed. The cost of the
401(k) plan was $20.7 million, $24.9 million, $24.4 million, and $1.3 million in fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015, fiscal
2014, and the one month ended December 31, 2015, respectively.

b. Plan Results

Summarized below is the balance sheet impact of the Company’s pension benefits and medical and life
insurance benefits. Pension benefits include the consolidated tax-qualified plan and the unfunded non-qualified
plan for benefits provided to employees beyond those provided by the Company’s tax-qualified plan. Assets,
benefit obligations, and the funded status of the plans were determined at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Market conditions and interest rates significantly affect assets and liabilities of the pension plans. Pension

accounting permits market gains and losses to be deferred and recognized over a period of years. This
“smoothing” results in the creation of other accumulated income or loss which will be amortized to pension costs
in future years. The accounting method the Company utilizes recognizes one-fifth of the unamortized gains and
losses in the market-related value of pension assets and all other gains and losses including changes in the
discount rate used to calculate benefit costs each year. Investment gains or losses for this purpose are the
difference between the expected return and the actual return on the market-related value of assets which
smoothes asset values over three years. Although the smoothing period mitigates some volatility in the
calculation of annual retirement benefit expense, future expenses are impacted by changes in the market value of
assets and changes in interest rates.

Certain actuarial assumptions, such as assumed discount rate, long-term rate of return, and assumed

healthcare cost trend rates can have a significant effect on amounts reported for periodic cost of pension benefits
and medical and life insurance benefits, as well as respective benefit obligation amounts. The assumed discount
rate represents the market rate available for investments in high-quality fixed income instruments with maturities
matched to the expected benefit payments for pension and medical and life insurance benefit plans.

The expected long-term rate of return on assets represents the rate of earnings expected in the funds

invested, and funds to be invested, to provide for anticipated benefit payments to plan participants. The Company
evaluated historical investment performance, current and expected asset allocation, and, with input from the
Company’s external advisors, developed best estimates of future investment performance. Based on this analysis,
the Company decided to change the long-term expected rate of return on assets from 8.0% to 7.0% effective
December 1, 2015.

The Company reviews external data and its own historical trends for healthcare costs to determine the

healthcare cost trend rates for the medical benefit plans. For fiscal 2016 medical benefit obligations, the

118

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

Company assumed a 7.0% annual rate of increase for pre and post 65 participants in the per capita cost of
covered healthcare claims with the rate decreasing over four years until reaching 5.0%.

A one percentage point change in the key assumptions would have the following effects on the projected

benefit obligations as of December 31, 2016 and on retirement benefit expense for fiscal 2016:

d. Plan Assets and Investment Policy

The Company’s investment policy is to maximize the total rate of return with a view toward long-term

funding objectives to ensure that funds are available to meet benefit obligations when due. The assets are
diversified to the extent necessary to minimize risk and to achieve an optimal balance between risk and
return. This return seeking strategy focuses on higher return seeking investments in actively managed investment
vehicles and allows for diversification as to the type of assets, tactical trades, and number of investment
managers used to carry out this strategy. This strategy is achieved using diversified asset types, which may
include cash, equities, fixed income, real estate, private equity holdings, and derivatives. Allocations between
these asset types may change as a result of changing market conditions and tactical investment opportunities.

While the Company does not target specific investment allocations, the Company monitors asset allocations

to provide diversification by investment type and investment managers to meet the Company’s objective of
maximizing the total rate of return while ensuring sufficient liquidity to meet required benefit payments. The
Company’s asset allocations by asset category were as follows:

Below is a description of the significant investment strategies and valuation methodologies used for the

investments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such investments pursuant to the
valuation hierarchy. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are held in money market accounts or invested in Short-Term Investment Funds

(“STIFs”). Cash and cash equivalents held in money market accounts are classified as Level 1 investments.
STIFs are measured at NAV and included in CCTs as a reconciling item to the fair value tables above.

Equity securities

Equity securities are invested broadly in U.S. and non-U.S. companies in a variety of sectors and market
capitalizations. These investments are comprised of common stocks, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), CCTs,
derivatives and other investment vehicles. Common stocks and ETFs are stated at fair value as quoted on a
recognized securities exchange and are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the fiscal
year and are classified as Level 1 investments. Derivatives include call and put options on common stocks or
ETFs, which are all listed on an exchange and active market and classified as Level 1 investments. Short sales are
short equity positions which are all listed on an exchange and active market and classified as Level 1
investments. Equity securities that are invested in common stock of private companies are priced using
unobservable inputs and classified as Level 3 investments. CCTs invested in equity securities are measured at
NAV and included as a reconciling item to the fair value tables above.

121

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

Fixed income securities

Fixed income securities are invested in a variety of instruments, including, but not limited to, corporate debt
securities, CCTs, asset-backed securities, and other investment vehicles. Corporate debt securities are invested in
corporate bonds or ETFs. ETFs are traded in an exchange and active market and classified as Level 1
investments. Corporate bonds that are valued at bid evaluations using observable and market-based inputs are
classified as Level 2 investments. Corporate bonds that are priced by brokers using unobservable inputs are
classified as Level 3 investments. Asset-backed securities, including government-backed mortgage securities,
non-government-backed collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-
backed securities, are valued at bid evaluations and are classified as Level 2 investments. Short sales are short
fixed income positions which are classified as Level 1 investments if they are listed on an exchange and active
market, and are classified as Level 2 investments if they are valued at bid evaluation using observable and
market-based inputs. CCTs invested in fixed income securities are measured at NAV and included as a
reconciling item to the fair value tables above.

Real estate investments

Real estate investments include residential and commercial lots located in Benicia, California and are

classified as Level 3 investments.

Private assets

Private assets are primarily limited partnerships and fund-of-funds that mainly invest in U.S. and non-U.S.

leveraged buyout, venture capital and special situation strategies. Generally, the individual investments within
the partnerships or funds are valued at public market, private market, or appraised value. Private assets are valued
at total market value or NAV, which are estimated by investment managers using unobservable inputs such as
extrapolated data, proprietary data, or indicative quotes and are included as a reconciling item to the fair value
tables above. Valuations of certain assets were based on the NAV or total market value three months prior to the
fiscal year-end. The Company made adjustments amounting to an increase of $11.3 million for fiscal 2016 and a
decrease of $8.6 million for fiscal 2015 to account for changes since the valuation date.

Hedge funds

Hedge funds primarily consist of multi-strategy hedge funds that invest across a range of equity and debt
securities in a variety of industry sectors. Hedge funds are valued at NAV calculated by investment managers
using unobservable inputs such as extrapolated data, proprietary data, or indicative quotes and are included as a
reconciling item to the fair value tables above.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

a. Lease Commitments and Income

The Company and its subsidiaries lease certain facilities, machinery and equipment, and office buildings
under long-term, non-cancelable operating leases. The leases generally provide for renewal options ranging from
one to five years and require the Company to pay for utilities, insurance, taxes, and maintenance. Rent expense
was $21.2 million in fiscal 2016, $18.5 million in fiscal 2015, $23.7 million in fiscal 2014, and $1.8 million in
the one month ended December 31, 2015.

The Company also leases certain surplus facilities to third parties. The Company recorded lease income of

$6.5 million in fiscal 2016, $6.3 million in fiscal 2015, $6.2 million in fiscal 2014, and $0.5 million in the one
month ended December 31, 2015 related to these arrangements, which have been included in net sales.

The future minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases with initial or remaining

terms of one year or more and lease revenue in effect as of December 31, 2016 were as follows:

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to legal proceedings, including litigation in U.S. federal and

state courts, which arise out of, and are incidental to, the ordinary course of the Company’s on-going and
historical businesses. The Company is also subject from time to time to suits under the federal False Claims Act,
known as “qui tam” actions, and to governmental investigations by federal and state agencies. The Company

123

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

cannot predict the outcome of such proceedings with any degree of certainty. Loss contingency provisions are
recorded for probable losses at management’s best estimate of a loss, or when a best estimate cannot be made, a
minimum loss contingency amount is recorded. These estimates are often initially developed substantially earlier
than when the ultimate loss is known, and are refined each quarterly reporting period as additional information
becomes available. For legal settlements where the cash payments are fixed and determinable, the Company will
estimate an interest factor and discount the liability accordingly.

Asbestos Litigation

The Company has been, and continues to be, named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury or
death due to exposure to asbestos in building materials, products, or in manufacturing operations. The majority of
cases are pending in Texas and Illinois. There were 64 asbestos cases pending as of December 31, 2016.

Given the lack of any significant consistency to claims (i.e., as to product, operational site, or other relevant

assertions) filed against the Company, the Company is generally unable to make a reasonable estimate of the
future costs of pending claims or unasserted claims. As of December 31, 2016, the estimated range of the
Company’s loss on a pending claim was $0.2 million to $0.6 million and the accrued amount was $0.2 million.

Inflective, Inc. (“Inflective”) Litigation

On December 18, 2014, Inflective filed a complaint against Aerojet Rocketdyne and Kathleen E. Redd,

individually, in the Superior Court of the State of California, Sacramento County, Inflective, Inc. v Aerojet
Rocketdyne, Inc., Kathleen E. Redd, et al, Case No. 34-2014-00173068. Inflective asserted in the complaint
causes for breach of contract, breach of implied contract, false promise, inducing breach of contract, intentional
interference with contractual relations, negligent interference with prospective economic relations, and
intentional interference with prospective economic relations and is seeking compensatory damages in excess of
$3.0 million, punitive damages, interest and attorney’s costs. The complaint arose out of the Company’s
implementation of ProjectOne, a company-wide enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, for which
Inflective had been a consultant to the Company. On February 6, 2015, Aerojet Rocketdyne and Ms. Redd filed a
demurrer to the complaint. On June 9, 2015, the Court sustained the demurrer in part and overruled the demurrer
in part, with leave to amend. On June 18, 2015, Inflective filed an amended complaint in which it reiterated all
the causes of action dismissed by the Court. On June 30, 2015, Aerojet Rocketdyne and Ms. Redd filed a
demurrer and motion to strike seeking to have (a) all claims and references to a purported “finder’s fee” stricken
from the case and (b) the causes of action against Ms. Redd for intentional and negligent interference with
prospective business relations dismissed with prejudice. On October 16, 2015, the Court sustained Aerojet
Rocketdyne’s demurrer and motion to strike with respect to the “finder’s fee” claims, dismissing those claims
with prejudice, but overruled Ms. Redd’s demurrer. On October 26, 2015, Aerojet Rocketdyne and Ms. Redd
answered the amended complaint and filed a Cross-Complaint against Plaintiff and its principal for breach of
contract, intentional misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation and negligence. Inflective filed a demurrer to
the intentional misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation and negligence causes of action, leaving the breach
of contract cause of action unchallenged. After a hearing on the demurrer on February 18, 2016, the court granted
the plaintiffs’ request to strike the claim for punitive damages on the negligence count, but denied the plaintiffs’
demurrer and allowed the Company’s claims for intentional misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, and
negligence causes of action to remain along with the breach of contract claim. On August 10, 2016, Aerojet
Rocketdyne filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on the claims brought against Ms. Redd individually, arguing
that as an agent for Aerojet Rocketdyne, Ms. Redd cannot be held personally liable for any alleged interference
of economic advantage between Inflective and Aerojet Rocketdyne. On December 2, 2016, the Court granted
Aerojet Rocketdyne’s Motion for Summary Judgment on the claims brought against Ms. Redd.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

Separately, Satish Rachaiah, a former consultant on ProjectOne (working for Inflective), attempted to
intervene in the action and assert claims against Aerojet Rocketdyne arising out of Aerojet Rocketdyne’s alleged
interference with his employment with Inflective. Aerojet Rocketdyne opposed intervention, and the Court
ultimately denied Mr. Rachaiah’s motion to intervene. On December 30, 2015, Rachaiah filed a separate lawsuit
in the Superior Court of the State of California, Sacramento County, Satish Rachaiah v. Aerojet Rocketdyne, Inc.,
Case No. 34-2015-00188516. The Company received the complaint on April 7, 2016 and an amended complaint
was served on June 17, 2016. Rachaiah asserted the same claims in the complaint as attempted when he tried to
intervene. On June 3, 2016, the court granted Rachaiah’s motion to consolidate the case with the Inflective
litigation, finding that two cases involve common parties, witnesses, legal issues and facts. Aerojet Rocketdyne
filed a demurrer to Rachaiah’s first amended complaint on July 22, 2016. On September 26, 2016, the Court
granted the demurrer in part and overruled it in part, dismissing the plaintiff’s claims for intentional and
negligent interference with prospective economic relations with leave to amend. On October 6, 2016, Rachaiah
filed a second amended complaint, once again asserting claims for intentional and negligent interference with
prospective economic relations. Aerojet Rocketdyne filed its Answer to the second amended complaint on
November 11, 2016.

Now that the issues to be tried have been set, discovery has commenced. No trial date for either case has

been established. The Company has not recorded any liability for either of these matters as of December 31,
2016.

Socorro

On May 12, 2015, a complaint for personal injuries, loss of consortium and punitive damages was filed by

James Chavez, Andrew Baca, and their respective spouses, against Aerojet Rocketdyne and the Board of Regents
of New Mexico Tech in the Seventh Judicial District, County of Socorro, New Mexico, James Chavez, et al., vs.
Aerojet Rocketdyne, Inc., et al., Case No. D725CV201500047. Messrs. Chavez and Baca were employees of
Aerotek, a contractor to Aerojet Rocketdyne, who were injured when excess energetic materials being managed
by the Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center, a research division of New Mexico Tech, ignited in an
unplanned manner. The complaint alleges causes of action based on negligence and negligence per se, strict
liability, and willful, reckless and wanton conduct against Aerojet Rocketdyne, and seeks unspecified
compensatory and punitive damages. The Company has filed its answer and discovery has commenced. The
Company has alerted its insurance carriers of this action and on September 23, 2015, the Company tendered the
defense of the case to Aerotek pursuant to Aerotek’s contract for services with Aerojet Rocketdyne. Aerotek has
not yet provided its response. Trial is scheduled for January 2018. No liability for this matter has been recorded
by the Company as of December 31, 2016.

Occupational Safety

On January 16, 2015, the Company received a notice that the State of California, Division of Occupational
Safety & Health (“Cal\OSHA”), Bureau of Investigation (“BOI”) is conducting an investigation into an accident
that occurred at the Rancho Cordova facility in November 2013. The accident involved the deflagration of solid
rocket propellant following a remote cutting operation and resulted in injuries to two employees, one of whom
ultimately died from his injuries. Cal\OSHA issued nine citations relating to the accident with penalties of
approximately $0.1 million, all of which the Company has appealed. The BOI is the criminal investigatory arm
of Cal\OSHA and is required by law to investigate any occupational fatality to determine if criminal charges will
be recommended. In August 2016, the BOI advised that it had completed its investigation and the criminal aspect
of the case was closed. A pre-hearing conference on the Company’s appeal of the citations was originally
scheduled for January 9, 2017, but was postponed and will be rescheduled.

c. Environmental Matters

The Company is involved in over forty environmental matters under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation Recovery Act, and other federal, state,
local, and foreign laws relating to soil and groundwater contamination, hazardous waste management activities,
and other environmental matters at some of its current and former facilities. The Company is also involved in a
number of remedial activities at third party sites, not owned by the Company, where it is designated a potentially
responsible party (“PRP”) by either the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and/or a state agency. In
many of these matters, the Company is involved with other PRPs. In some instances, the Company’s liability and
proportionate share of costs have not been determined largely due to uncertainties as to the nature and extent of
site conditions and the Company’s involvement. While government agencies frequently claim PRPs are jointly
and severally liable at such sites, in the Company’s experience, interim and final allocations of liability and costs
are generally made based on relative contributions of waste or contamination. Anticipated costs associated with
environmental remediation that are probable and estimable are accrued. In cases where a date to complete
remedial activities at a particular site cannot be determined by reference to agreements or otherwise, the
Company projects costs over an appropriate time period not exceeding fifteen years; in such cases, generally the
Company does not have the ability to reasonably estimate environmental remediation costs that are beyond this
period. Factors that could result in changes to the Company’s estimates include completion of current and future
soil and groundwater investigations, new claims, future agency demands, discovery of more or less
contamination than expected, discovery of new contaminants, modification of planned remedial actions, changes
in estimated time required to remediate, new technologies, and changes in laws and regulations.

As of December 31, 2016, the aggregate range of these anticipated environmental costs was $349.7 million
to $525.0 million and the accrued amount was $349.7 million. See Note 7(d) for a summary of the environmental
reserve activity. Of these accrued liabilities, approximately 99% relates to the Company’s U.S. government
contracting business and a portion of this liability is recoverable. The significant environmental sites are
discussed below. The balance of the accrued liabilities relates to other sites for which the Company’s obligations
are probable and estimable.

Sacramento, California Site

In 1989, a federal district court in California approved a Partial Consent Decree (“PCD”) requiring Aerojet

Rocketdyne, among other things, to conduct a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study to determine the
nature and extent of impacts due to the release of chemicals from the Sacramento, California site, monitor the
American River and offsite public water supply wells, operate Groundwater Extraction and Treatment facilities
that collect groundwater at the site perimeter, and pay certain government oversight costs. The primary chemicals
of concern for both on-site and off-site groundwater are trichloroethylene, perchlorate, and
n-nitrosodimethylamine. The PCD has been revised several times, most recently in 2002. The 2002 PCD revision
(a) separated the Sacramento site into multiple operable units to allow quicker implementation of remedy for
critical areas; (b) required the Company to guarantee up to $75 million (in addition to a prior $20 million
guarantee) to assure that Aerojet Rocketdyne’s Sacramento remediation activities are fully funded; and
(c) removed approximately 2,600 acres of non-contaminated land from the EPA superfund designation.

Aerojet Rocketdyne is involved in various stages of soil and groundwater investigation, remedy selection,

design, and remedy construction associated with the operable units. In 2002, the EPA issued a Unilateral
Administrative Order (“UAO”) requiring Aerojet Rocketdyne to implement the EPA-approved remedial action in
the Western Groundwater Operable Unit. An identical order was issued by the California Regional Water Quality
Control Board, Central Valley (“Central Valley RWQCB”). On July 7, 2011, the EPA issued Aerojet Rocketdyne
its Approval of Remedial Action Construction Completion Report for Western Groundwater Operable Unit and

126

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

its Determination of Remedy as Operational and Functional. On September 20, 2011, the EPA issued two UAOs
to Aerojet Rocketdyne to complete a remedial design and implement remedial action for the Perimeter
Groundwater Operable Unit. One UAO addresses groundwater and the other addresses soils within the Perimeter
Groundwater Operable Unit. Issuance of the UAOs is the next step in the superfund process for the Perimeter
Groundwater Operable Unit. Aerojet Rocketdyne submitted a final Remedial Investigation Report for the
Boundary Operable Unit in 2010 and a revised Feasibility Study for the Boundary Operable Unit in 2012. A
Record of Decision was issued by the EPA on August 4, 2015. Aerojet Rocketdyne anticipates the EPA will issue
a UAO or negotiate a consent decree for implementation of the remedy. A draft Remedial Investigation Report
for the Island Operable Unit was submitted in January 2013 and the Final Remedial Investigation Report was
issued on September 3, 2015. A portion of the Island Operable Unit, Area 40, which is related to the
Hillsborough sale, is being handled separately and Aerojet Rocketdyne submitted a draft Feasibility Study to the
agencies on June 23, 2016. The remaining operable units are under various stages of investigation. On
September 22, 2016, the EPA completed its first five-year remedy review of the Sacramento superfund site. The
five-year review required by statute and regulation applies to all remedial actions which result in hazardous
substances above levels that allow unlimited use and unrestricted exposure. The Company is working with EPA
to address the findings of the five-year remedy review.

The entire southern portion of the site known as Rio Del Oro was under state orders issued in the 1990s

from the Department of Toxic Substances Control (“DTSC”) to investigate and remediate environmental
contamination in the soils and the Central Valley RWQCB to investigate and remediate groundwater
environmental contamination. On March 14, 2008, the DTSC released all but approximately 400 acres of the Rio
Del Oro property from DTSC’s environmental orders regarding soil contamination. Aerojet Rocketdyne expects
the approximately 400 acres of Rio Del Oro property that remain subject to the DTSC orders to be released once
the soil remediation has been completed. The Rio Del Oro property remains subject to the Central Valley
RWQCB’s orders to investigate and remediate groundwater environmental contamination emanating offsite from
such property. Pursuant to a settlement agreement entered into in 2009, Aerojet Rocketdyne and Boeing have
defined responsibilities with respect to future costs and environmental projects relating to this property.

As of December 31, 2016, the estimated range of anticipated costs discussed above for the Sacramento,

California site was $210.1 million to $326.0 million and the accrued amount was $210.1 million included as a
component of the Company’s environmental reserves. Expenditures associated with this matter are partially
recoverable. See Note 7(d) below for further discussion on recoverability.

Baldwin Park Operable Unit (“BPOU”)

As a result of its former Azusa, California operations, in 1994 Aerojet Rocketdyne was named a PRP by the
EPA in the area of the San Gabriel Valley Basin superfund site known as the BPOU. Between 1995 and 1997, the
EPA issued Special Notice Letters to Aerojet Rocketdyne and eighteen other companies requesting that they
implement a groundwater remedy. On June 30, 2000, the EPA issued a UAO ordering the PRPs to implement a
remedy consistent with the 1994 record of decision. Aerojet Rocketdyne, along with seven other PRPs (the
“Cooperating Respondents”) signed a project agreement in late March 2002 with the San Gabriel Basin Water
Quality Authority, the Main San Gabriel Basin Watermaster, and five water companies (the “Water Entities”).
The project agreement, which has a term of fifteen years, became effective May 9, 2002 and will terminate in
May 2017. In November 2014, the EPA met with representatives from the Cooperating Respondents regarding
the end of the project agreement and plans for discussions with the Water Entities. The EPA, the Water Entities
and Aerojet Rocketdyne and the other Cooperating Respondents have participated in settlement discussions
regarding the expiration of the project agreement in 2017 and the path forward. Discussions have occurred over
the summer of 2015 and on September 10, 2015, the parties, including the EPA, met to discuss progress
including a new project agreement to commence in 2017. At this meeting, Aerojet Rocketdyne and the other

127

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

Cooperating Respondents proposed a new project agreement term limit of five years. That proposal was rejected
by the EPA and the Water Entities which want a longer term. The parties continue to work cooperatively and
have exchanged counter proposals. Negotiations are ongoing with mediation sessions conducted in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2016 and additional sessions planned for the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Pursuant to the project
agreement, the Cooperating Respondents fund through an escrow account the capital, operation, maintenance,
and administrative costs of certain treatment and water distribution facilities to be owned and operated by the
water companies. There are also provisions in the project agreement for maintaining financial assurance.

Aerojet Rocketdyne and the other Cooperating Respondents entered into an interim allocation agreement,
which was renewed effective March 28, 2014, that establishes the interim payment obligations, subject to final
reallocation, of the Cooperating Respondents for the costs incurred pursuant to the project agreement. Under the
interim allocation, Aerojet Rocketdyne is responsible for approximately 70% (increased from approximately
68%) of all project costs. Since entering into the project agreement, two of the Cooperating Respondents, Huffy
Corporation, and Fairchild Corporation (“Fairchild”), have filed for bankruptcy and are no longer participating in
the project agreement. The interim allocation accounted for their shares. On September 30, 2014, another of the
Cooperating Respondents, Reichhold, Inc. (“Reichhold”), filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11. Reichhold has
stopped paying and Aerojet Rocketdyne increased its contribution for its portion of Reichhold’s share of the
financial assurance. Aerojet Rocketdyne and the remaining Cooperating Respondents are completing a final
allocation agreement under which Aerojet Rocketdyne’s share of the costs will be approximately 74% provided
that Aerojet Rocketdyne assumes the Reichhold share and all currently funding parties participate in the
allocation beyond the expiration of the current agreement.

As part of Aerojet Rocketdyne’s sale of its Electronics and Information Systems (“EIS”) business to
Northrop in October 2001, the EPA approved a Prospective Purchaser Agreement with Northrop to absolve it of
pre-closing liability for contamination caused by the Azusa, California operations, which liability remains with
Aerojet Rocketdyne. As part of that agreement, the Company agreed to provide a $25 million guarantee of
Aerojet Rocketdyne’s obligations under the project agreement.

As of December 31, 2016, the estimated range of anticipated costs was $126.8 million to $178.3 million and
the accrued amount was $126.8 million included as a component of the Company’s environmental reserves. The
primary reason for the increase in the reserve in fiscal 2015 related to BPOU is to reflect the anticipated costs
through the term of a new project agreement, and the amount accrued is based on an estimate of the anticipated
length of a new project agreement. There can be no assurance that the term of the new project agreement will not
be longer than proposed by the Company and/or broader in scope and, if so, the Company may be required to
make an additional accrual to reflect the longer time period and/or broader scope. Expenditures associated with
this matter are partially recoverable. See Note 7(d) below for further discussion on recoverability.

Wabash, Indiana Site

As part of the Company’s automotive business that was divested in 2004, the Company owned and operated

a former rubber processing plant in Wabash, Indiana from 1937 to 2004. Pursuant to a request from the Indiana
Department of Environmental Management (“IDEM”), the Company conducted an initial site investigation of the
soil and groundwater at the site and a report was submitted to IDEM. By letter of June 11, 2014, IDEM directed
the Company to conduct additional investigation of the site, including a vapor intrusion investigation in areas in
and around the site where trichloroethene levels in groundwater were found to exceed screening levels for vapor
intrusion. Vapor mitigation systems were installed in one residence and one business where indoor air screening
levels were exceeded. The Company acquired a separate residence in August 2016 where indoor air screening
levels were exceeded and a mitigation system was not economically feasible. The Company anticipates donating
the property to the City of Wabash for use in connection with a city park. The Company conducted further
investigations of the site in accordance with the IDEM request and approved work plan. The Company met with

128

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

IDEM on May 24, 2016 to present the results of the further investigation and IDEM requested the Company to
submit a remedial action plan. The remedial action plan was submitted in January 2017 with implementation
anticipated late 2017. The Company sent demands to other former owners/operators of the site to participate in
the site work, but no party has agreed to participate as of yet. As of December 31, 2016, the estimated range of
the Company’s share of anticipated costs for the Wabash, Indiana site was $0.2 million to $0.7 million and the
accrued amount was $0.2 million. None of the expenditures related to this matter are recoverable from the U.S.
government.

d. Environmental Reserves and Estimated Recoveries
Environmental Reserves

The Company reviews on a quarterly basis estimated future remediation costs and has an established
practice of estimating environmental remediation costs over a fifteen year period, except for those environmental
remediation costs with a specific contractual term. Environmental liabilities at the BPOU site are currently
estimated through the term of a new project agreement as proposed by Aerojet Rocketdyne, which the Water
Entities and the EPA have rejected. There can be no assurance that the term of the new project agreement will not
be longer than the term the Company estimated and/or broader in scope and, if so, the Company may be required
to make an additional accrual to reflect the longer term and/or broader scope. As the period for which estimated
environmental remediation costs lengthens, the reliability of such estimates decreases. These estimates consider
the investigative work and analysis of engineers, outside environmental consultants, and the advice of legal staff
regarding the status and anticipated results of various administrative and legal proceedings. In most cases, only a
range of reasonably possible costs can be estimated. In establishing the Company’s reserves, the most probable
estimate is used when determinable; otherwise, the minimum amount is used when no single amount in the range
is more probable. Accordingly, such estimates can change as the Company periodically evaluates and revises
these estimates as new information becomes available. The Company cannot predict whether new information
gained as projects progress will affect the estimated liability accrued. The timing of payment for estimated future
environmental costs is influenced by a number of factors such as the regulatory approval process, and the time
required to design, construct, and implement the remedy.

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

The effect of the final resolution of environmental matters and the Company’s obligations for environmental

remediation and compliance cannot be accurately predicted due to the uncertainty concerning both the amount
and timing of future expenditures and due to regulatory or technological changes. The Company continues its
efforts to mitigate past and future costs through pursuit of claims for recoveries from insurance coverage and
other PRPs and continued investigation of new and more cost effective remediation alternatives and associated
technologies.

As part of the acquisition of the Atlantic Research Corporation (“ARC”) propulsion business in 2003,
Aerojet Rocketdyne entered into an agreement with ARC pursuant to which Aerojet Rocketdyne is responsible
for up to $20.0 million of costs (“Pre-Close Environmental Costs”) associated with environmental issues that
arose prior to Aerojet Rocketdyne’s acquisition of the ARC propulsion business. ARC is responsible for any
cleanup costs relating to the ARC acquired businesses in excess of $20.0 million. Pursuant to a separate
agreement with the U.S. government which was entered into prior to the completion of the ARC acquisition,
these costs are recovered through the establishment of prices for Aerojet Rocketdyne’s products and services sold
to the U.S. government. A summary of the Pre-Close Environmental Costs (in millions):

Pre-Close Environmental Costs
Amount spent through December 31, 2016

Remaining Pre-Close Environmental Costs

(19.9)

$ 0.1

The Company expects that the cumulative clean-up costs will exceed $20 million in fiscal 2017 after which

ARC will be responsible for such costs due to contamination existing at the time of the acquisition and still
requiring remediation and monitoring. On May 6, 2016, ARC informed Aerojet Rocketdyne that it is disputing
certain costs that Aerojet Rocketdyne is attributing to the $20 million Pre-Close Environmental Costs. Aerojet
Rocketdyne is evaluating the claim.

Estimated Recoveries

On January 12, 1999, Aerojet Rocketdyne and the U.S. government implemented the October 1997
Agreement in Principle (“Global Settlement”) resolving certain prior environmental and facility disagreements,
with retroactive effect to December 1, 1998. Under the Global Settlement, Aerojet Rocketdyne and the U.S.
government resolved disagreements about an appropriate cost-sharing ratio with respect to the clean-up costs of
the environmental contamination. The Global Settlement cost-sharing ratio does not have a defined term over
which costs will be recovered. Additionally, in conjunction with the sale of the EIS business in 2001, Aerojet
Rocketdyne entered into an agreement with Northrop (the “Northrop Agreement”) whereby Aerojet Rocketdyne
is reimbursed by Northrop for a portion of environmental expenditures eligible for recovery under the Global
Settlement, subject to an annual and a cumulative limitation. The current annual billing limitation to Northrop is
$6.0 million.

Most of the environmental costs are incurred by the Company’s Aerospace and Defense segment, and
certain of these future costs are allowable to be included in the Company’s contracts with the U.S. government
and allocable to Northrop until the cumulative expenditure limitation is reached. Excluding the receivable from
Northrop of $68.0 million discussed below, the Company currently estimates approximately 24% of its future
Aerospace and Defense segment environmental costs will not likely be reimbursable.

130

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

Allowable environmental costs are charged to the Company’s contracts as the costs are incurred. Because
these costs are recovered through forward-pricing arrangements, the ability of Aerojet Rocketdyne to continue
recovering these costs from the U.S. government depends on Aerojet Rocketdyne’s sustained business volume
under U.S. government contracts and programs.

Pursuant to the Northrop Agreement, environmental expenditures to be reimbursed are subject to annual
limitations and the total reimbursements are limited to cumulative expenditure limitation of $189.7 million. A
summary of the Northrop Agreement activity (in millions):

While the Company is currently seeking an arrangement with the U.S. government to recover environmental
expenditures in excess of the reimbursement ceiling identified in the Northrop Agreement and Global Settlement,
there can be no assurances that such a recovery will be obtained, or if not obtained, that such unreimbursed
environmental expenditures will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s operating results,
financial condition, and/or cash flows.

Environmental reserves and estimated recoveries impact to the consolidated statements of operations

As of December 31, 2016, arrangements with off-balance sheet risk consisted of:

•

•

$45.3 million in outstanding commercial letters of credit expiring throughout 2017, the majority of
which may be renewed, primarily to collateralize obligations for environmental remediation and
insurance coverage.

$44.5 million in outstanding surety bonds to primarily satisfy indemnification obligations for
environmental remediation coverage.

131

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

• Up to $120.0 million aggregate in guarantees by the Company of Aerojet Rocketdyne’s obligations to

U.S. government agencies for environmental remediation activities.

• Guarantees, jointly and severally, by the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries of their obligations

under the Senior Credit Facility.

In addition to the items discussed above, the Company has and will from time to time enter into certain
types of contracts that require the Company to indemnify parties against potential third-party and other claims.
These contracts primarily relate to: (i) divestiture agreements, under which the Company may provide customary
indemnification to purchasers of its businesses or assets including, for example, claims arising from the operation
of the businesses prior to disposition, and liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination
existing prior to disposition; (ii) certain real estate leases, under which the Company may be required to
indemnify property owners for claims arising from the use of the applicable premises; and (iii) certain
agreements with officers and directors, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons for
liabilities arising out of their relationship with the Company. The terms of such obligations vary. Generally, a
maximum obligation is not explicitly stated.

Additionally, the Company issues purchase orders to suppliers for equipment, materials, and supplies in the

normal course of business. These purchase commitments are generally for volumes consistent with anticipated
requirements to fulfill purchase orders or contracts for product deliveries received, or expected to be received,
from customers and would be subject to reimbursement if a cost-plus contract is terminated.

The Company provides product warranties in conjunction with certain product sales. The majority of the

Company’s warranties are a one-year standard warranty for parts, workmanship, and compliance with
specifications. On occasion, the Company has made commitments beyond the standard warranty obligation.
While the Company has contracts with warranty provisions, there is not a history of any significant warranty
claims experience. A reserve for warranty exposure is made on a product by product basis when it is both
estimable and probable. These costs are included in the program’s estimate at completion and are expensed in
accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition methodology as allowed under GAAP for that particular
contract.

Note 8. Stockholders’ Deficit

a. Preference Stock

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, 15.0 million shares of preferred stock were authorized and none were

issued or outstanding.

b. Common Stock

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had 150.0 million authorized shares of common stock, par value
$0.10 per share, of which 69.2 million shares were issued and outstanding, and 32.1 million shares were reserved
for future issuance for the exercise of stock options (seven and ten year contractual life) and restricted stock (no
maximum contractual life), payment of awards under stock-based compensation plans, and conversion of the
Company’s convertible debt. See Note 3(k) for information about the Company’s redeemable common stock.

c. Treasury Stock

The Company has repurchased 3.5 million of its common shares at a cost of $64.5 million. The Company

reflects stock repurchases in its financial statements on a “settlement” basis.

Stock Appreciation Rights: As of December 31, 2016, a total of 1.0 million SARS were outstanding under

the 1999 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (“1999 Plan”) and 2009 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan
(“2009 Plan”). SARS granted to employees generally vest in one-third increments at one year, two years, and
three years from the date of grant and have a ten year contractual life under the 1999 Plan and a seven year
contractual life under the 2009 Plan. SARS granted to directors of the Company typically vest over a one year
service period (half after six months and half after one year) and have a ten year contractual life under the 1999
Plan and a seven year contractual life under the 2009 Plan. These awards are similar to the Company’s employee
stock options, but are settled in cash rather than in shares of common stock, and are classified as liability awards.
Compensation cost for these awards is determined using a fair-value method and remeasured at each reporting
date until the date of settlement. Stock-based compensation expense recognized is based on SARS ultimately
expected to vest, and therefore it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures.

liabilities paid in fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014 was $2.3 million, $3.3 million, and $1.0 million, respectively. As
of December 31, 2016, there was $2.6 million of total stock-based compensation related to nonvested SARS.
That cost is expected to be recognized over an estimated weighted-average amortization period of 25 months.

Restricted Stock, service-based: As of December 31, 2016, a total of 0.6 million shares of service-based
restricted stock were outstanding which vest based on years of service under the 2009 Plan. Restricted shares are
granted to key employees and directors of the Company. The fair value of the restricted stock awards was based
on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of award and is being amortized on a
straight line basis over the service period. Stock-based compensation expense recognized is based on service-
based restricted stock ultimately expected to vest, and therefore it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures.

As of December 31, 2016, there was $6.4 million of total stock-based compensation related to nonvested

service-based restricted stock. That cost is expected to be recognized over an estimated weighted-average
amortization period of 20 months. At December 31, 2016, the intrinsic value of the service-based restricted stock
outstanding was $10.6 million and the intrinsic value of service-based restricted stock expected to vest was
$10.2 million. The weighted average grant date fair values for service-based restricted stock granted in fiscal
2015 and 2014 was $20.70 and $17.22, respectively.

Restricted Stock, performance-based Company metrics: As of December 31, 2016, a total of 1.1

million shares of performance-based restricted shares were outstanding under the 2009 Plan. The performance-
based restricted stock vests if the Company meets various operations and earnings targets set by the
Organization & Compensation Committee of the Board. The fair value of the performance-based restricted stock
awards was based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of award and is being
amortized over the estimated service period to achieve the operations and earnings targets. Stock-based
compensation expense recognized for all years presented is based on performance-based restricted stock
ultimately expected to vest, and therefore it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures.

Common Shares and Stock Options, performance-based: In August 2016, the Company granted the
Executive Chairman 0.2 million performance-based common shares and 0.2 million performance-based stock
options that vest according to the attainment of share prices ranging from $22.00 per share to $27.00 per share of
the Company’s stock. The performance-based common shares were valued at a weighted average price of $12.99
using a Monte Carlo model. The performance-based stock options were valued at a weighted average price of
$5.81 using a Monte Carlo model. The Company recognizes the grant-date fair value of these awards, less
estimated forfeitures, as stock-based compensation expense ratably over the estimated vesting period based on
the number of awards expected to vest at each reporting date. As of December 31, 2016, there was $1.6 million
of total stock-based compensation related to nonvested performance-based common shares. That cost is expected
to be recognized over an estimated weighted-average amortization period of 7 months. The intrinsic value of the
performance-based restricted stock outstanding and expected to vest at December 31, 2016 was $3.6 million. The
Company used the following weighted average assumptions to value the awards:

The Monte Carlo Model requires a single expected dividend yield as an input. The Senior Credit Facility
restricts the payment of dividends and the Company does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable
future. Accordingly, the Company did not apply an expected dividend yield to the Monte Carlo Model.

Expected Term: The Company’s expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based

awards are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on historical experience of similar awards,
giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards and vesting schedules.

Expected Volatility: The fair value of stock-based payments was determined using the Black-Scholes Model

with a volatility factor based on the Company’s historical stock prices. The range of expected volatility used in
the Black-Scholes Model was 32% to 45% as of December 31, 2016.

Expected Dividend: The Black-Scholes Model requires a single expected dividend yield as an input. The

Senior Credit Facility restricts the payment of dividends and the Company does not anticipate paying cash
dividends in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company did not apply an expected dividend yield to the
Black-Scholes Model for all periods presented.

Risk-Free Interest Rate: The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes Model on

the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term.
The range of risk-free interest rates used in the Black-Scholes Model was 0.66% to 2.24% as of December 31,
2016.

Estimated Pre-vesting Forfeitures: When estimating forfeitures, the Company considers historical

terminations as well as anticipated retirements.

Note 9. Operating Segments and Related Disclosures

The Company’s operations are organized into two operating segments based on different products and
customer bases: Aerospace and Defense, and Real Estate. The accounting policies of the operating segments are
the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 1).

137

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

The Company evaluates its operating segments based on several factors, of which the primary financial
measure is segment performance. Segment performance represents net sales from continuing operations less
applicable costs, expenses and unusual items relating to the segment operations. Segment performance excludes
corporate income and expenses, legacy income or expenses, unusual items not related to the segment operations,
interest expense, interest income, and income taxes.

Note 10. Cost Reduction Plan

During fiscal 2015, the Company initiated a competitive improvement program (the “CIP”) comprised of
activities and initiatives aimed at reducing costs in order for the Company to continue to compete successfully.
The CIP is composed of three major components: (i) facilities optimization and footprint reduction; (ii) product
affordability; and (iii) reduced administrative and overhead costs. Under the CIP, the Company expects an
estimated 500 headcount reduction. The Company currently estimates that it will incur restructuring and related
costs over the four-year CIP program of approximately $82 million (excluding approximately $31 million of
capital expenditures). The Company has incurred $18.4 million related to the CIP program through December 31,
2016 and additionally the Company has incurred $28.9 million in capital expenditures to support the CIP. A

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

The costs associated with the CIP will be a component of the Company’s U.S. government forward pricing

rates, and therefore, will be recovered through the pricing of the Company’s products and services to the U.S.
government. In addition to the employee-related CIP obligations, the Company incurred non-cash accelerated
depreciation expense of $0.7 million and $0.8 million in fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively, associated with
changes in the estimated useful life of long-lived assets impacted by the CIP.

In addition to the CIP, as part of the Company’s ongoing effort to optimize business resources and achieve

headcount reduction, the Company offered a Voluntary Reduction in Force (“VRIF”) in July 2015 to
substantially all employees. In connection with the VRIF, the Company recorded a liability of $2.6 million in the
third quarter of fiscal 2015, consisting of costs for severance, employee-related benefits and other associated
expenses. In addition, in December 2015, the Company offered a VRIF to certain employees at its Redmond,
Washington location resulting in additional severance costs of $2.4 million consisting of costs for
severance, employee-related benefits and other associated expenses. In June 2016, the Company announced an
organizational restructuring which was part of the on-going integration of Aerojet Rocketdyne to enhance the
efficiency of Aerojet Rocketdyne and improve its competitive posture. In connection with the organizational
restructuring, the Company recorded a liability of $1.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, consisting of
costs for severance, employee-related benefits and other associated expenses. These costs will be a component of
the Company’s U.S. government forward pricing rates, and therefore, will be recovered through the pricing of the
Company’s products and services to the U.S. government.

Fiscal 2016 Activity:

On July 18, 2016, the Company redeemed $460.0 million principal amount of its 7 1/8% Notes, representing

all of the outstanding 7 1/8% Notes, at a redemption price equal to 105.344% of the principal amount, plus
accrued and unpaid interest. The Company incurred a pre-tax charge of $34.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal
2016 associated with the extinguishment of the 7 1/8% Notes. The $34.1 million pre-tax charge was the result of
the $24.6 million paid in excess of the par value and $9.5 million associated with the write-off of unamortized
deferred financing costs. The Company funded the redemption in part through a $400.0 million term loan under
the Company’s Senior Credit Facility (see Note 5).

The Company retired $13.0 million principal amount of its delayed draw term loan resulting in a loss of

$0.3 million.

The Company recorded a charge of $0.1 million associated with an amendment to the Senior Credit Facility.

Fiscal 2015 Activity:

The Company recorded an expense of $50.0 million associated with a legal settlement.

The Company retired $76.0 million principal amount of its delayed draw term loan resulting in $1.9 million

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of December 31, 2016, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,”
as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange
Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is
accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2016 because of the material weakness in our internal control
over financial reporting described below. In light of the material weakness discussed below, the Company
performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our consolidated financial statements
are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management has
concluded that the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K
fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods
presented therein.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate “internal control over financial
reporting,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The rules define internal control
over financial reporting as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

•

•

•

Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures
of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
Company; and

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted
an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established

144

in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We previously identified and
disclosed, a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. We did not maintain adequate
controls over the completeness and accuracy of our accounting for income taxes, including the income tax
provision and related tax assets and liabilities. Specifically, we did not design effective controls related to the
preparation and review of the financial information used in the calculation of our annual and quarterly income
tax provision.

This material weakness resulted in errors to deferred tax assets, income taxes payable, uncertain tax positions and
income tax expense accounts in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, the
one month period ended December 31, 2015 and the year ended November 30, 2015. This material weakness did
not result in a material misstatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2016, the one month period ended December 31, 2015 or the year ended November 30, 2015.

Additionally, this material weakness could result in a misstatement of the aforementioned account balances or
disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements
that would not be prevented or detected.

Because of this material weakness, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 has been audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm. Their report appears in Item 8
of this Form 10-K.

Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weakness

We continue to evaluate the composition of the internal controls in place for our income tax accounting and have
begun or intend to perform the following:

• Hire additional tax resources (either internal or external) with the requisite skillset to supplement the current

complement of tax professionals in place; and

• Develop and implement controls that will be executed consistently to validate the completeness and

accuracy of the financial information utilized in our accounting for income taxes.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, we designed and implemented a control to evaluate significant and/or
unusual transactions entered into during quarterly periods for income tax provision implications. This is
accomplished through a review of the Company’s quarterly significant transaction listing, discussions with
management, and subsequent consultation with the Company’s third party tax service provider as necessary.

In addition, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, a third party tax service provider performed an assessment of
the completeness and accuracy of our population of deferred tax balances at December 31, 2016, which we
intend to leverage going forward in the performance of our annual deferred tax balance reconciliation efforts.

As part of our ongoing monitoring effort of our internal control over financial reporting, we will report progress
and status of the above remediation efforts to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis throughout the year.

145

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As described in the “Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weakness” section above, there have been changes
in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting.

(1) As of December 31, 2016, there are no more shares available to be issued under any type of incentive award
under the 1999 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan. The maximum number of shares available for
issuance to participants under the 2009 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan is 7,450,000 shares, all of
which may be awarded as incentive stock options. Subject to the total shares available to be issued under the
plan, the following specific limits apply: (A) no more than 300,000 shares may be issued to nonemployee
directors and no nonemployee director may receive more than 150,000 shares in any fiscal year; (B) no
more than 200,000 shares subject to stock options, including incentive stock options, may be granted to any
participant in any fiscal year; (C) no more than 200,000 shares subject to stock appreciation rights may be
granted to any participant in any fiscal year; (D) no more than 200,000 shares may be granted to any
participant in any fiscal year pursuant to an award of restricted stock or restricted stock units; (E) no more
than 200,000 shares may be granted to any participant in any fiscal year pursuant to an award of
performance shares or performance units; and (F) no more than 100,000 shares may be granted to any
participant in any fiscal year pursuant to a stock-based award other than described above.

(2) As of December 31, 2016, 1,697,929 shares had been granted as restricted shares that had not yet vested.
(3) As of December 31, 2016, 200,000 shares had been granted as performance shares that had not yet vested.
(4) The Company also maintains the Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc. and Participating Subsidiaries Deferred

Bonus Plan. Prior to 2016, this plan allowed participating employees to defer a portion of their
compensation for future distribution. All or a portion of such deferrals made prior to November 30, 2009
could be allocated to an account based on the Company’s common stock and does permit limited
distributions in the form of Company common shares. However, distributions in the form of common shares
are permitted only at the election of the Organization & Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
and, according to the terms of the plan, individuals serving as officers or directors of the Company are not
permitted to receive distributions in the form of Company common shares until at least six months after
such individual ceases to be an officer or director of the Company. The table does not include information
about this plan because no options, warrants or rights are available under this plan and no specific number of
shares is set aside under this plan as available for future issuance. Based upon the price of Company
common shares on December 31, 2016, the maximum number of shares that could be distributed to
employees not subject to the restrictions on officers and directors (if permitted by the Organization &
Compensation Committee) would be 4,224. This plan was amended effective November 30, 2009 to prevent
the application of future deferrals to the Company common stock investment program.
