C H A I R M A N ’ S L E T T E R
To Our Shareholders, Employees and Friends,
2018 was a very good year for our Company. We had top-line growth in each of our operating segments with consolidated sales up 8% over the prior year. Our Aircraft
segment was up on higher military investment in new platforms and the production ramp-up on the F-35 program. In the commercial aircraft market, our major programs
continued at record production rates, and our aftermarket powered ahead on strong initial provisioning and solid legacy work. In Space and Defense, both markets benefited
from higher U.S. defense spending and the success of strategic investments we have made in new technologies over the last few years. Finally, our Industrial markets were
up across the board, as we benefited from the strong economic activity across the globe as well as the recovery in energy prices. We continued to invest in new products
and technologies in each of our segments; investments which will transition into annuity businesses for future decades. In addition, we intensified our focus on operational
excellence to ensure we are delivering outstanding products in the shortest possible lead times to our customers around the globe.
Our bottom-line earnings were impacted adversely by the transition taxes associated with the change in the U.S. Tax Code and our strategic decision to exit the wind pitch
control business. Absent these one-time effects, our earnings per share were up a very healthy 17%. Over the course of the year, we used our free cash flow to fully fund
our U.S. defined benefit pension plan. We also started paying a quarterly dividend, reflecting our belief in the positive long-term outlook for our business.
As we look to 2019, we’re optimistic. Our aerospace and defense portfolio, representing over 60% of our business, enters the year with a record backlog and a very positive
outlook across both commercial and military platforms. Our industrial businesses are also starting the year in a healthy state. However, political uncertainty, the threat of a
trade war, and falling oil prices are reasons for caution. We’ll monitor these developments carefully and respond appropriately as events unfold throughout 2019.
Looking beyond 2019, we are very excited about our longer-term future. We are a company with outstanding engineering talent that is dedicated to solving the most
challenging problems for our customers. As we think about the developments that are happening in the world, we see enormous opportunities for our Company. Entire
industries are changing as concerns about global warming and international security combine with demographic shifts and technological advances to reshape industries
from transportation and agriculture to defense and space. Robots are emerging from the structured setting of the factory floor onto the streets and into the fields of everyday
life. Autonomous technology and artificial intelligence will change our lives in ways we cannot yet imagine. All of this change is creating exciting opportunities for Moog’s
technical capabilities. Our continued investment in innovation is the key to bringing these opportunities to life.
Every year, we invest in incremental innovation in each of our business lines to ensure we are meeting the needs of our existing customers. Beyond that, we invest in selected
emerging technologies in entirely new markets. We identify lead customers who share our vision of a new future and are seeking to work collaboratively to define that future.
These customers are trying to solve whole new challenges that have never been tackled in the past. For example, we’re collaborating with customers looking to automate
agricultural production by using autonomous technology to address the challenge of scarce labor. In addition, we have customers who are working to create the next
generation of connected machines using internet of things technology or by seeking smart, miniaturized actuators manufactured using additive 3D technology for use in
medical applications. In each of these areas, we are investing to create an entirely new set of markets for Moog.
In this environment of revolutionary opportunities, we believe our culture and values are our most important assets. Our culture encourages working together to overcome
technical challenges and unexpected setbacks – because what we do is never easy. When we make a commitment, we keep it. At Moog, success is a team effort and our
customers know that Moog employees will support them through the tough times and deliver on our promises. On day one, every new Moog employee is introduced to our
culture. From newly hired machinists to seasoned design engineers and assembly technicians, our employees count on each other to produce the very best products.
Products that will be tested in the toughest and most demanding environments. In the face of the dramatic change we are seeing in many of our industries, we remain
steadfast in our values. These values have served us well in the past and I believe they will continue to do so into the future.
We believe our employees are what make our Company successful. Our goal is to make Moog a great place to work, where every employee feels like they are making a
valuable contribution to the long-term success of the Company. This goal guides our daily actions and is the foundation of our employee recruitment and retention activities.
Our employees create value for customers and returns for our shareholders. As we close out 2018, I am pleased to report that over half of our employees are also
shareholders. Our retirement plans, our employee stock ownership plan, and our profit-sharing plan have provided avenues for more of our employees than ever to be able
to acquire Moog stock in 2018, thus allowing them to share in the success of our Company while investing for their future.
Special Thanks
Over the course of the last year, Larry Ball and Gary Szakmary retired from the ranks of our officer group. Larry led our Components Group and Gary was our Chief Human
Resources Officer. Each of them was with our Company for over three decades and dedicated their working lives to making Moog a success. Their contributions are too
numerous to mention. We will miss them both. We thank them for their tireless efforts and wish them well in their retirement.

F-35 Lightning II, Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)
Lockheed Martin’s F-35 is the world’s first 5th generation fighter. All three F-35 distinct variants have
similar performance characteristics, allowing them to fulfill the wide range of mission requirements
for the U.S. armed forces and its global military partners with service-specific missions. All three
models feature stealth technology, advanced sensor fusion, internal weapons capacity and improved
range. It’s the most lethal, survivable and connected fighter aircraft to ever enter production. In June
2018, Lockheed delivered the 300th production F-35.
The F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant is designed to operate from conventional
runways and is primarily used by the U.S. Air Force. The “A” is expected to be the variant most widely
operated by our global partner nations.
The F-35B short takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL) variant is uniquely designed to operate on short-
field forward operating bases and on air-capable ships. This variant is primarily operated by the U.S.
Marine Corps, with a limited number to be operated by global partners.
The F-35C carrier variant (CV) is the U.S. Navy’s first stealth aircraft and its primary fighter aircraft of
the future. The “C” is designed to takeoff and land on large aircraft carriers.
Moog’s F-35 Content
The F-35 is the first production aircraft whose primary flight control system exclusively uses next-
generation Electrohydrostatic Actuation (EHA) technology. Moog is the system integrator and supplier of
EHA technology for all F-35 variants, which includes actuators, electronics and flight-critical software.
Moog also provides the maneuvering leading edge flap actuation system for all F-35 variants.
On the F-35B lift system, Moog hardware helps enable the unique takeoff and vertical landing ability.

Reconfigurable Integrated-weapons Platform (RIwP ™)
RIwP is Moog’s flexible, scalable reconfigurable turret that provides tailored overmatch
and improved survivability in every combat situation. The system was developed with
battlefield input allowing Moog engineers to create a multi-mission turret.
Its modular and reconfigurable design gives battlefield commanders flexibility and
options, including direct fire weapons, missiles, non-lethal effects and sensors to
target and defeat current and emerging threats.
The availability of small, inexpensive unmanned aerial systems has created an
urgent operational need for improved sensors and weapon systems that can be
integrated for battlefield use. Vehicle-mounted Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems
(C-UAS) are in demand by the U.S. Army and allied forces to combat small drones
and unmanned quadcopters and fixed-wing aircraft. Moog and teammate Leonardo
DRS collaborated to integrate and demonstrate RIwP’s flexible capability as the right
solution for this C-UAS mission.
RIwP is light enough for installation on a tactical vehicle and has greater fire power
potential than most currently-fielded combat vehicle weapon systems. With more
than 125 available configurations that can be housed on a single base platform,
RIwP also offers common training, logistics and other life cycle cost benefits.

Test Solutions
Moog test systems incorporate both electric and hydraulic servo actuation solutions
with a design approach that achieves faster and better tests for new models, parts
and prototypes. Moog engineers collaborate closely with customers to develop
the right system, based on performance requirements and applications. Product
development tests simulate conditions, stress and the loads that new designs and
products will face when installed and in use.
SAIC Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd. selected a Moog electric multi-axis system to
test seatbelt anchors in the carmaker’s lab in Shanghai. The test lab previously relied
on a hydraulic test system but reliability, maintenance and safety improvements
resulted in the transition to a Moog electric test rig.
Moog’s engineering expertise and proven experience helps customers define their
specific customized testing solution – electric or hydraulic. Offering both electric
and hydraulic technologies ensures that a system meets customer requirements
for frequency, payload, and stiffness in order to validate new designs prior to the
start of production.
The components of the electric seatbelt test system include nine electric servo
actuators for applying a load, which allows simultaneous testing of three sets of three
seatbelts and seatbelt anchoring systems. Moog test systems allow manufacturers
to react faster to market changes, validate designs quickly and adapt to the latest
safety and environmental regulations.

Team Valor V-280
The U.S. Army-led Joint Multi-Role Technical Demonstrator (JMR-TD)
program is the precursor to the Department of Defense’s Future Vertical Lift
program – the expected next-generation replacement for all DoD helicopters.
Bell selected Moog and other industry partner companies to combine their
best engineering resources to develop the third-generation Valor tiltrotor
for the vertical lift program. The V-280 Valor acts like a helicopter when
taking off and landing but while in the air it can reconfigure itself with
propellers. Moog is designing, manufacturing and qualifying the integrated
flight control system.
Bell’s V-280 is a clean-sheet design that benefits from the heritage and
lessons learned from the successful V-22 Osprey’s design, flight-testing,
production and combat experience. Smaller and faster than the V-22, the
V-280’s rotors tilt, while the engines remain fixed in place. The Valor’s crew
of four can carry a squad of up to 14 Army or Marine Corps personnel to
assault areas faster and further than the V-22.
Courtesy of Bell
Since first flight a year ago, the Valor team has compiled nearly 85 hours of flight, forward flight at 250 knots true airspeed with an ultimate goal of 280 knots, sustained
flight at 11,500 feet altitude, and demonstrated low and high-speed agility with fly-by-wire controls. The Moog flight control system includes three flight control
computers with support software, six triplex swashplate actuators to control the rotors, and the flaperon and ruddervator actuators that control the wing and tail.
Rideshare
How does a small satellite mission navigate launch cost, deployment risk and overall
mission success? Rideshare. Multiple missions stacked on a common launch
vehicle and sharing launch costs allow small satellites, including CubeSats, an
economical deployment option and access to low-Earth orbit.
Moog rideshare components and systems enable efficient space access for small
satellites and space-based payloads. With a strong heritage in U.S. space programs,
Moog engineers have capitalized on the growing rideshare market and positioned
Moog as an industry leader in rideshare hardware solutions.
Moog’s ESPA ring, a structural support ring used as a secondary payload adapter,
allows up to six secondary satellites to share a ride to space with large primary
satellite payloads. ESPA is a drop-in component in the launch stack, compatible with
multiple payloads and launch vehicles.
While affordable deployment is a benefit of ridesharing, secondary payload status is
the trade-off. Orbital Maneuvering Vehicles (OMVs) can help leverage rideshare
infrastructure by equipping payload adapters like the ESPA with propulsion systems,
avionics, sensors and power. Moog engineers developed the COMET for U.S.
launchers – a commercial OMV that can disperse small satellite constellations, act
as a hosted payload platform, or deliver a single spacecraft to ideal orbits beyond
the primary payload orbit.
Moog’s new Small Launch Orbital Maneuvering Vehicle (SL-OMV) is a propulsive
vehicle for secondary payload deployment based on the ESPA ring. Configured for
short duration missions using the smaller Venture Class of launchers, SL-OMV can
disperse CubeSat constellations or deliver ESPA-Class spacecraft to their ideal
orbits at a highly affordable price. Moog’s SL-OMV’s maiden voyage will launch in
the early 2020s from the UK’s first commercial spaceport in Melness, Scotland.

Automated Machining Cell
Future opportunities and an on-going focus on operational
excellence require investments in manufacturing technology,
new machines and training. Upgrades to advanced manufacturing
machinery allow machinists to produce the complex geometries
and close tolerances designed into Moog products with better
overall return on capital investment.
Moog’s fully automated machining cell
During the design phase for Embraer’s new E2 jet program, Moog engineers used a design-
to-manufacturing teaming environment to create a production process for first development
parts. The goal: reduce costs as the program transitioned from development to production.
The team planned and proved-out the design of a small robotic cell for the manufacture of
hydraulic manifolds to improve part flow, labor utilization and machine investment.
The result was a fully automated machining cell with standard off-the-shelf 5-axis equipment. Operated by a robot and using six automated machines for milling, the cell
produces the full product family of complex milled aluminum manifolds for the E2 jet. The quality of the finished product, improvements in capacity along with reduction
in cycle time, tooling costs, floor space and capital investment resulted in the construction of a second similar cell. This new operation is a larger automated manufacturing
cell for manifolds for the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 aircraft programs.
Industrial Servovalve with Additive Components
Traditional machining turns a block of titanium or aluminum into a part by shaping it with milling and boring machinery during part fabrication, removing portions of the
material. The effects of traditional machining, heat-treat, casting and forging processes on material properties are well known. Additive Manufacturing (AM) describes a wide range
of additive processes and methods. Metal additive at Moog mostly utilizes a Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) process. PBF is a digital automated metal part manufacturing process utilizing
metal powder as raw material. AM allows for new design solutions but requires considerable research and development for use on critical applications and systems.
Commercial and military aviation, manned and unmanned space applications, certain
industrial uses, and medical products require certifications to establish suitability for
service – and often have strict quality and traceability standards. Additive introduces major
process changes, especially for products that require certification because additive
machinery is both the furnace and the mill. Extensive R&D and testing is required and
additive isn’t a complete replacement for traditional, or subtractive machining.
In one application, Moog engineers replaced a conventionally produced servovalve body with
an additively manufactured titanium valve body. Leveraging the advantages of additive
technology, the new body delivers a small internal hydraulic flow improvement and a 50%
weight reduction. Future additive R&D includes identifying
opportunities to consolidate parts into single additive
components, reducing weight and solving thermal
heat challenges.
Moog’s powder-to-product Additive Manufacturing Center
Our engineers see additive manufacturing technology as a key enabler for future digital processing and leaner workflows.
Additive offers high-quality rapid prototyping, the option for one-off customized parts and quantity-of-one production runs.
In the field, the day will come when spare part printing is on-demand and completed at the point of use – underwater, in a
factory far away, and even in space.
