LETTER TO
SHAREHOLDERS

Parker had an outstanding year in  

fiscal 2019. It was our best year ever  

for sales, segment operating margin, 

earnings per share and cash flow  

from operations. It builds on the record 

financial performance we had in  

fiscal year 2018.

The results we are producing reflect  

the dedication of our global team 

members in executing The Win Strategy™, 

which is our business system, and our 

unrelenting focus on driving continuous 

improvement. While we believe we  

can take our performance to even 

higher levels, it is important for us to 

take time to reflect on the remarkable 

transformation Parker has made. 

The actions we have taken over the past 

five years have strengthened Parker.  

We have improved our operations by 

executing the Win Strategy and 

deployed capital effectively, including 

three transformative acquisitions, to 

strengthen our portfolio and drive 

returns. As a result, we are better 

positioned than ever to deliver record 

results, perform at a higher level over 

macro-economic cycles and serve our 

customers.

LEADING WITH 
PURPOSE 

Our new purpose statement – Enabling 

Engineering Breakthroughs that Lead  

to a Better Tomorrow – was crafted 

through extensive input from our team 

members. The statement does not 

mean we are changing our direction,  

we are simply defining it. By aligning 

around a common purpose today,  

we will be better positioned for the 

challenges and opportunities of 

tomorrow. 

Our purpose defines why we are  

in business, provides inspiration  

and direction for our team members, 

and highlights how we can strengthen 

our communities and have a positive 

impact on the world. 

Financial 
Performance
At the heart of our financial performance 

initiatives is our strength in lean 

enterprise, strategic supply chain  

and value pricing. We will continue  

to be leaders and drive continuous 

improvement in these key initiatives. 

With the introduction of the new Win 

Strategy in 2015, we embarked on a 

Simplification initiative. Designed to 

reduce complexity across the organization, 

this initiative has enabled a better 

customer experience, increased speed 

and reduced cost. The Win Strategy  

3.0 expands and strengthens our 

Simplification initiative to focus on three 

broad areas, including organizational 

structure, reducing operational 

complexity through the use of the  

80/20 rule and a concept we are  

calling Simple by Design™. 

Opportunities to refine our 

organizational structure and reduce 

operational complexity are still in  

the early days of implementation. 

Simple by Design is a new element  

of Simplification. Across the cost 

The actions we have taken over the past five years have 

strengthened Parker. We have improved our operations 

by executing the Win Strategy and deployed capital 

effectively, including three transformative acquisitions,  

to strengthen our portfolio and drive returns. As a result, 

we are better positioned than ever to deliver record 

results, perform at a higher level over macro-economic 

cycles and serve our customers.

Competition

Parker operates in highly competitive markets and industries.  We offer our products over numerous, varied markets 
through our divisions operating in 50 countries.  Our global scope means that we have hundreds of competitors across our 
various markets and product offerings.  Our competitors include U.S. and non-U.S. companies.  These competitors and the 
degree of competition vary widely by product lines, end markets, geographic scope and/or geographic locations.  Although each 
of our segments has numerous competitors, given our market and product breadth, no single competitor competes with the 
Company with respect to all the products we manufacture and sell.

In the Diversified Industrial Segment, Parker competes on the basis of product quality and innovation, customer service, 
manufacturing and distribution capability, and price competitiveness.  We believe that we are one of the market leaders in most 
of the major markets for our most significant Diversified Industrial Segment products.  We have comprehensive motion and 
control packages for the broadest systems capabilities.  While our primary global competitors include Bosch Rexroth AG, 
Danaher Corporation, Danfoss A/S, Donaldson Company, Inc., Eaton Corporation plc, Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc., 
Emerson/ASCO, Festo AG & Co., Freudenberg-NOK, Gates Corporation, IMI/Norgren, SMC Corporation, Swagelok 
Company, and Trelleborg AB, none of these businesses compete with every group or product in our Diversified Industrial 
Segment.

In the Aerospace Systems Segment, we have developed alliances with key customers based on our advanced 

technological and engineering capabilities, superior performance in quality, delivery, and service, and price competitiveness.  
This has enabled us to obtain significant original equipment business on new aircraft programs for our systems and components 
as well as the follow-on repair and replacement business for these programs.  Further, the Aerospace Systems Segment utilizes 
low-cost manufacturing techniques and best cost region strategies to achieve a lower cost producer status.  Although we believe 
that we are one of the market leaders in most of the major markets for our most significant Aerospace Systems Segment 
products, primary global competitors for these products include Eaton Corporation plc, Honeywell International, Inc., Moog 
Inc., Triumph Group, Inc., UTC Collins Aerospace, Woodward, Inc. and Safran S.A.

We believe that our platform utilizing eight core technologies, which consist of electromechanical, filtration, fluid 
handling, hydraulics, pneumatics, process control, refrigeration, and sealing and shielding, is a positive factor in our ability to 
compete effectively with both large and small competitors.  For both of our segments, we believe that the following factors also 
contribute to our ability to compete effectively:

•
•
•
•
•
•
•

decentralized business model;
technology breadth and interconnectivity;
engineered products with intellectual property;
long product life cycles;
balanced OEM vs. aftermarket;
low capital investment requirements; and
great generators and deployers of cash over the cycle.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses

We own a number of patents, trademarks, copyrights and licenses related to our products.  We also have exclusive and 

non-exclusive rights to use patents, trademarks and copyrights owned by others.  In addition, patent and trademark applications 
are pending, although there can be no assurance that further patents and trademarks will be issued.  We do not depend on any 
single patent, trademark, copyright  or license or group of patents, trademarks, copyrights or licenses to any material extent.

Backlog and Seasonal Nature of Business

Backlog consists of written firm orders from a customer to deliver products and, in the case of blanket purchase orders, 

only includes the portion of the order for which a schedule or release date has been agreed to with the customer.  The dollar 
value of backlog is equal to the amount that is expected to be billed to the customer and reported as a sale.  Our backlog by 
business segment for the past two years is included in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated 
herein by reference.  Our backlog was $4.2 billion at June 30, 2019 and $4.1 billion at June 30, 2018.  Approximately 90 
percent of our backlog at June 30, 2019 is scheduled for delivery in the succeeding twelve months.  Because of the breadth and 
global scope of our business, our overall business is generally not seasonal in nature.

Environmental Regulation

Certain of our operations require the use and handling of hazardous materials and, as a result, the Company is subject to 

United States federal, state, and local laws and regulations as well as non-U.S. laws and regulations designed to protect the 
environment and regulate the discharge of materials into the environment.  These laws impose penalties, fines and other 
sanctions for non-compliance and liability for response costs, property damage and personal injury resulting from past and 
current spills, disposals or other releases of, or exposures to, hazardous materials.  Among other environmental laws, we are  
subject to the United States federal "Superfund" law, under which we have been designated as a "potentially responsible party" 
and may be liable for cleanup costs associated with various waste sites, some of which are on the United States Environmental 
Protection Agency’s Superfund priority list.

As of June 30, 2019, Parker was involved in environmental remediation at various U.S. and non-U.S. manufacturing 

facilities presently or formerly operated by us and as a "potentially responsible party," along with other companies, at off-site 
waste disposal facilities and regional sites.

We believe that our policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of 
environmental damage and the consequent financial liability to the Company.  Compliance with environmental laws and 
regulations requires continuing management efforts and expenditures by the Company.  Compliance with environmental laws 
and regulations has not had in the past, and, we believe, will not have in the future, a material adverse effect on our capital 
expenditures, earnings, or competitive position.

Our reserve for environmental matters is discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part 

II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Energy Matters and Sources and Availability of Raw Materials

Our primary energy source for both of our business segments is electric power.  While we cannot predict future costs of 

electric power, the primary source for production of the required electric power is expected to be coal and natural gas from coal 
and natural gas reserves available to electric utilities.  We are subject to governmental regulations in regard to energy supplies 
in the United States and elsewhere.  To date, we have not experienced any significant disruptions of our operations due to 
energy curtailments.

We primarily use steel, brass, copper, aluminum, nickel, rubber and thermoplastic materials and chemicals as the principal 
raw materials in our products.  We expect these materials to be available from numerous sources in quantities sufficient to meet 
our requirements.

Employees

We employ approximately 55,610 persons as of June 30, 2019, of whom approximately 28,500 were employed by foreign 

subsidiaries.

Acquisitions

The Company made no material acquisitions in 2019.  During 2019, we entered into a definitive agreement under which 
we expect to acquire LORD Corporation ("Lord").  The proposed Lord acquisition and prior-year acquisitions are discussed in 
Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and are 
incorporated herein by reference.  On July 29, 2019, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to 
acquire EMFCO Holdings Incorporated, parent company of Exotic Metals Forming Company LLC ("Exotic").  The proposed 
Exotic acquisition is discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual 
Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1A.  Risk Factors.

The following "risk factors" identify what we believe to be the risks that could materially adversely affect our financial 

and/or operational performance.  These risk factors should be considered and evaluated together with information 
incorporated by reference or otherwise included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Additional risks not currently 
known to the Company or that the Company currently believes are immaterial also may impair the Company’s business, 
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

8

Risks arising from uncertainty in worldwide and regional economic conditions may harm our business and make it 
difficult to project long-term performance.

Our business is sensitive to global macro-economic conditions.  Future macroeconomic downturns may have an adverse 
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as our distributors, customers and suppliers, and on 
activity in many of the industries and markets we serve.  Among the economic factors which may have such an effect are 
manufacturing and other end-market activity, currency exchange rates, air travel trends, difficulties entering new markets, 
tariffs and governmental trade and monetary policies, and general economic conditions such as inflation, deflation, interest 
rates and credit availability.  These factors may, among other things, negatively impact our level of purchases, capital 
expenditures, and creditworthiness, as well as our distributors, customers and suppliers, and, therefore, the Company’s 
revenues, operating profits, margins, and order rates.

We cannot predict changes in worldwide or regional economic conditions and government policies, as such conditions are 

highly volatile and beyond our control.  If these conditions deteriorate or remain at depressed levels for extended periods, 
however, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

As a global business, we are exposed to economic, political and other risks in different countries in which we operate, 
which could materially reduce our sales, profitability or cash flows, or materially increase our liabilities.

Our net sales derived from customers outside the United States were approximately 39% in 2019, 41% in 2018 and 40% 
in 2017.  In addition, many of our manufacturing operations and suppliers are located outside the United States.  The Company 
expects net sales from non-U.S. markets to continue to represent a significant portion of its total net sales.  Our non-U.S. 
operations are subject to risks in addition to those facing our domestic operations, including:

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

fluctuations in currency exchange rates and/or changes in monetary policy;
limitations on ownership and on repatriation of earnings;
transportation delays and interruptions;
political, social and economic instability and disruptions;
government embargoes or trade restrictions;
the imposition of duties and tariffs and other trade barriers;
import and export controls;
labor unrest and current and changing regulatory environments;
the potential for nationalization of enterprises;
difficulties in staffing and managing multi-national operations;
limitations on our ability to enforce legal rights and remedies;
potentially adverse tax consequences; and
difficulties in implementing restructuring actions on a timely basis.

If we are unable to successfully manage the risks associated with expanding our global business or adequately manage 
operational fluctuations internationally, the risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or 
financial condition.

We are subject to risks relating to acquisitions and joint ventures, and risks relating to the integration of acquired 
companies, including risks related to the integration of CLARCOR Inc. ("Clarcor") and the proposed acquisitions of 
Lord and Exotic.

We expect to continue our strategy of identifying and acquiring businesses with complementary products and services, 

and entering into joint ventures, which we believe will enhance our operations and profitability.  However, there can be no 
assurance that we will be able to continue to find suitable businesses to purchase or joint venture opportunities, or that we will 
be able to acquire such businesses or enter into such joint ventures on acceptable terms.  Furthermore, there are no assurances 
that we will be able to avoid acquiring or assuming unexpected liabilities.  If we are unable to avoid these risks, our results of 
operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

For example, although we expect to realize certain benefits as a result of our proposed acquisitions of Lord and Exotic, 

there is the possibility that we may not complete these proposed acquisitions or that following our acquisitions of Lord and 
Exotic we may be unable to successfully integrate those businesses in order to realize the anticipated benefits of the 
acquisitions or to do so within the intended timeframe.  Uncertainties associated with our proposed acquisitions of Lord and 
Exotic may also cause a loss of management personnel and other key employees, which could adversely affect our future 
business, operations and financial results.

9

The risks and uncertainties of our proposed acquisitions of Lord and Exotic include, among others:

• 
• 
• 

• 
• 

• 

• 
• 

the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could delay the closing of the proposed transactions; 
the possibility of non-consummation of the proposed transactions and termination of the acquisition agreements; 
the failure to satisfy any of the conditions to the proposed transactions set forth in the acquisition agreements; the 
possibility that a governmental entity may prohibit the consummation of the proposed transactions or may delay or 
refuse to grant a necessary regulatory approval in connection with the proposed transactions or that in order for the 
parties to obtain any such regulatory approvals, conditions are imposed that adversely affect the anticipated benefits 
from the proposed transactions or cause the parties to abandon the proposed transactions; 
adverse effects on our common stock or other securities because of the failure to complete the proposed transactions; 
business disruptions due to transaction-related uncertainty or other factors making it more difficult to maintain 
relationships with employees, business partners or governmental entities; 
the possibility that the expected synergies and value creation from the proposed transactions will not be realized or 
will not be realized within the expected time period; 
the parties being unable to successfully implement integration strategies; and
and significant transaction costs related to the proposed transactions.

In addition, we may not be able to integrate successfully any businesses that we purchase into our existing business and it 

is possible that any acquired businesses or joint ventures may not be profitable.  For example, we have devoted significant 
management attention and resources to integrating the business and operations of Clarcor.  We may encounter or have 
encountered the following difficulties during the integration process of Clarcor:

• 

• 
• 

• 
• 
• 

• 

the consequences of a change in tax treatment, including the cost of integration and compliance and the possibility that 
the full benefits anticipated to result from the Clarcor acquisition may not be realized;
delays in the integration of management teams, strategies, operations, products, and services;
differences in business backgrounds, corporate cultures, and management philosophies that may delay successful 
integration;
the ability to retain key employees;
the ability to create and enforce uniform standards, controls, procedures, policies, and information systems;
challenges of integrating complex systems, technologies, networks, and other assets of Clarcor in a manner that 
minimizes any adverse impact or disruptions to customers, suppliers, employees, and other constituencies; and
unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses or delays associated with the integration beyond current 
estimates.

The successful integration of new businesses and the success of joint ventures also depend on our ability to manage these 

new businesses and cut excess costs.  If we are unable to avoid these risks, our results of operations and financial condition 
could be materially adversely affected.

Our results may be adversely affected if expanded operations from the acquisition of Clarcor or the proposed 
acquisitions of Lord and Exotic are not effectively managed.

Our acquisition of Clarcor greatly expanded the size and complexity of our business.  The proposed acquisitions of Lord 
and Exotic would further expand the size and complexity of our business.  Our future success depends, in part, on the ability to 
manage this expanded business, which may pose or has posed substantial challenges for management, including challenges 
related to the management and monitoring of the expanded global operations and new manufacturing processes and products, 
and the associated costs and complexity.  There can be no assurance of successful management of these matters or that we will 
realize the expected benefits of the acquisition of Clarcor or the proposed acquisitions of Lord and Exotic.

The Company may be subject to risks relating to organizational changes.

We regularly execute organizational changes such as acquisitions, divestitures and realignments to support our growth 

and cost management strategies.  We also engage in initiatives aimed to increase productivity, efficiencies and cash flow and to 
reduce costs.  The Company commits significant resources to identify, develop and retain key employees to ensure 
uninterrupted leadership and direction.  If we are unable to successfully manage these and other organizational changes, the 
ability to complete such activities and realize anticipated synergies or cost savings as well as our results of operations and 
financial condition could be materially adversely affected.  We cannot offer assurances that any of these initiatives will be 
beneficial to the extent anticipated, or that the estimated efficiency improvements, incremental cost savings or cash flow 
improvements will be realized as anticipated or at all.

10

Increased cybersecurity threats and more sophisticated and targeted computer crime could pose a risk to our  
information technology systems.

We rely extensively on information technology systems to manage and operate our business, some of which are managed 

by third parties.  The security and functionality of these information technology systems, and the processing of data by these 
systems, are critical to our business operations.  If these systems, or any part of the systems, are damaged, intruded upon, 
attacked, shutdown or cease to function properly (whether by planned upgrades, force majeure, telecommunications failures, 
hardware or software break-ins or viruses, or other cybersecurity incidents) and we suffer any resulting interruption in our 
ability to manage and operate our business or if our products are effected, our results of operations and financial condition 
could be materially adversely affected.  In addition to existing risks, any adoption or deployment of new technologies via 
acquisitions or internal initiatives may increase our exposure to risks, breaches, or failures, which could materially adversely 
affect our results of operations or financial condition.  Furthermore, the Company may have access to sensitive, confidential, or 
personal data or information that may be subject to privacy and security laws, regulations, or other contractually-imposed 
controls.  Despite our use of reasonable and appropriate controls, material security breaches, theft, misplaced, lost or corrupted 
data, programming, or employee errors and/or malfeasance could lead to the compromise or improper use of such sensitive, 
confidential, or personal data or information, resulting in possible negative consequences, such as fines, penalties, loss of 
reputation, competitiveness or customers, or other negative consequences resulting in adverse impacts to our results of 
operations or financial condition.

Changes in the demand for and supply of our products may adversely affect our financial results, financial condition 
and cash flow.

Demand for and supply of our products may be adversely affected by numerous factors, some of which we cannot predict 

or control.  Such factors include:

• 

changes in business relationships with and purchases by or from major customers, suppliers or distributors, including 
delays or cancellations in shipments, disputes regarding contract terms or significant changes in financial condition, 
and changes in contract cost and revenue estimates for new development programs;
changes in product mix;
changes in the market acceptance of our products;
increased competition in the markets we serve;
declines in the general level of industrial production;

• 
• 
• 
• 
•  weakness in the end-markets we serve;
• 
• 

fluctuations in the availability or the prices of raw materials; and
fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

If any of these factors occur, the demand for and supply of our products could suffer, which could materially adversely 

affect the Company’s results of operations.

The development of new products and technologies requires substantial investment and is required to remain 
competitive in the markets we serve.  If we are unable to successfully introduce new commercial products, our 
profitability could be adversely affected.

The markets we serve are characterized by rapidly changing technologies and frequent introductions of new products and 
services.  Our ability to develop new products based on technological innovation can affect our competitive position and often 
requires the investment of significant resources.  If we cannot develop, or have difficulties or delays developing new and 
enhanced products and services, or if we fail to gain market or regulatory acceptance of new products and technologies, our 
revenues may be materially reduced and our competitive position could be materially adversely affected.  In addition, we may 
invest in research and development of products and services, or in acquisitions or other investments, that do not lead to 
significant revenue, which could adversely affect our profitability.

11

Price and supply fluctuations of the raw materials used in our  production processes and by our suppliers of component 
parts could negatively impact our financial results.

Our supply of raw materials could be interrupted for a variety of reasons, including availability and pricing.  Furthermore, 

recently implemented changes to United States and other countries' tariff and import/export regulations may have a negative 
impact on the availability and pricing of raw materials.  Prices for raw materials necessary for production have fluctuated 
significantly in the past and significant increases could adversely affect our results of operations and profit margins.  Our efforts 
to manage these fluctuations by, among other things, passing along price increases to our customers, may be subject to a time 
delay between the increased raw material prices and our ability to increase the price of our products, or we may be unable to 
increase the prices of our products due to pricing pressure, contract terms or other factors.  Any such inability to manage 
fluctuations could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows.

Our suppliers of component parts may significantly and quickly increase their prices in response to increases in costs of 

raw materials that they use to manufacture the component parts.  As a result, we may not be able to increase our prices 
commensurately with our increased costs.  Consequently, our results of operations or financial condition could be materially 
adversely affected.

Changes in the competitive environment in which we operate may eliminate any competitive advantages that we 
currently have, which could adversely impact our business.

Our operations are subject to competition from a wide variety of global, regional and local competitors, which could 
adversely affect our results of operations by creating downward pricing pressure and/or a decline in our margins or market 
shares.  To compete successfully, we must excel in terms of product quality and innovation, technological and engineering 
capability, manufacturing and distribution capability, delivery, price competitiveness, and customer experience.

Litigation and legal and regulatory proceedings against the Company could decrease our liquidity, impair our financial 
condition and adversely affect our results of operations.

From time to time, we are subject to litigation or other commercial disputes and other legal and regulatory proceedings 
relating to our business.  Due to the inherent uncertainties of any litigation, commercial disputes or other legal or regulatory 
proceedings, we cannot accurately predict their ultimate outcome, including the outcome of any related appeals.  An 
unfavorable outcome could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.  
Furthermore, as required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, we establish reserves based on our assessment of 
contingencies, including contingencies related to legal claims asserted against us.  Subsequent developments in legal 
proceedings may affect our assessment and estimates of the loss contingency recorded as a reserve and require us to make 
payments in excess of our reserves, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We are subject to national and international laws and regulations, such as the anti-corruption laws of the U.S. Foreign 

Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act, relating to our business and our employees.  Despite our policies, procedures 
and compliance programs, our internal controls and compliance systems may not be able to protect the Company from 
prohibited acts willfully committed by our employees, agents or business partners that would violate such applicable laws and 
regulations.  Any such improper acts could damage the Company's reputation, subject us to civil or criminal judgments, fines or 
penalties, and could otherwise disrupt the Company's business, and as a result, could materially adversely impact our business, 
financial condition and results of operations.

Further, our operations are subject to certain antitrust and competition laws in the jurisdictions in which we conduct our 
business, in particular the United States and Europe.  These laws prohibit, among other things, anticompetitive agreements and 
practices.  If any of our commercial agreements or practices are found to violate or infringe such laws, we may be subject to 
civil and other penalties.  We may also be subject to third-party claims for damages.  Further, agreements that infringe antitrust 
and competition laws may be void and unenforceable, in whole or in part, or require modification in order to be lawful and 
enforceable.  Accordingly, any violation of these laws could harm our reputation and could have a material adverse effect on 
our earnings, cash flows and financial condition.

12

Additional liabilities relating to changes in tax rates or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could adversely 
impact our financial condition and cash flow.

Parker is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and various non-U.S. jurisdictions.  Our domestic and international tax 
liabilities are dependent upon the location of earnings among these different jurisdictions.  Our future results of operation could 
be adversely affected by changes in effective tax rate as a result of changes in tax laws and judicial or regulatory interpretation 
thereof, the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in overall profitability, changes in generally 
accepted accounting principles, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets or changes in tax laws or regulations.  In 
addition, the amount of income taxes paid by the Company is subject to ongoing audits by U.S. federal, state and local tax 
authorities and by non-U.S. tax authorities.  If these audits result in assessments different from amounts reserved, future 
financial results may include unfavorable adjustments to the Company’s tax liabilities, which could have a material adverse 
effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Due to the nature of our business and products, we may be liable for damages based on product liability claims.

Our businesses expose us to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the design, manufacture and sale of our 

products and the products of third-party vendors that we use or resell.  Significant product liability claims could have a material 
adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.  Although we currently maintain what 
we believe to be suitable and adequate product liability insurance, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain 
our insurance on acceptable terms or that our insurance will provide adequate protection against all potential significant 
liabilities.

Failure to protect our intellectual property and know-how could reduce or eliminate any competitive advantage and 
reduce our sales and profitability, and the cost of protecting our intellectual property may be significant.

Protecting our intellectual property is critical to our innovation efforts.  We own a number of patents, trade secrets, 
copyrights, trademarks, trade names and other forms of intellectual property related to our products and services throughout the 
world and the operation of our business.  We also have exclusive and non-exclusive rights to intellectual property owned by 
others.  Our intellectual property may be challenged or infringed upon by third parties or we may be unable to maintain, renew 
or enter into new license agreements with third-party owners of intellectual property on reasonable terms.  In addition, the 
global nature of our business increases the risk that our intellectual property may be subject to infringement or other 
unauthorized use or disclosure by others.  In some cases, our ability to protect our intellectual property rights by legal recourse 
or otherwise may be limited, particularly in countries where laws or enforcement practices are inadequate or undeveloped.  
Unauthorized use or disclosure of our intellectual property rights or our inability to preserve existing intellectual property rights 
could adversely impact our competitive position and results of operations.

Our indebtedness and restrictive covenants under our credit facilities could limit our operational and financial 
flexibility.

We have incurred significant indebtedness, and may incur additional debt for acquisitions, operations, research and 
development and capital expenditures.  Our ability to make interest and scheduled principal payments and meet restrictive 
covenants could be adversely impacted by changes in the availability, terms and cost of capital, changes in interest rates or 
changes in our credit ratings or our outlook.  These changes could increase our cost of financing and limit our debt capacity, 
thereby limiting our ability to pursue acquisition opportunities, react to market conditions and meet operational and capital 
needs, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage.

We carry goodwill on our balance sheet, which is subject to impairment testing and could subject us to significant non-
cash charges to earnings in the future if impairment occurs.

We have goodwill recorded on our balance sheet.  Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually in the 

second quarter or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment may exist.  Factors that 
could indicate that our goodwill is impaired include a decline in our stock price and market capitalization, lower than projected 
operating results and cash flows, and slower growth rates in our industry.  Declines in our stock price, lower operating results 
and any decline in industry conditions in the future could increase the risk of impairment.  Impairment testing incorporates our 
estimates of future operating results and cash flows, estimates of allocations of certain assets and cash flows among reporting 
units, estimates of future growth rates, and our judgment regarding the applicable discount rates used on estimated operating 
results and cash flows.  If we determine at a future time that further impairment exists, it may result in a significant non-cash 
charge to earnings and lower stockholders’ equity.

13

We may be required to make material expenditures in order to comply with environmental laws and climate change 
regulations, or incur additional liabilities under these laws and regulations.

Our operations necessitate the use and handling of hazardous materials and, as a result, subject us to various U.S. federal, 
state and local laws and regulations, as well as non-U.S. laws, designed to protect the environment and to regulate the discharge 
of materials into the environment.  These laws impose penalties, fines and other sanctions for non-compliance and liability for 
response costs, property damages and personal injury resulting from past and current spills, disposals or other releases of, or the 
exposure to, hazardous materials.  Among other laws, we are subject to the U.S. federal "Superfund" law, under which we have  
been designated as a "potentially responsible party" and may be liable for clean-up costs associated with various waste sites, 
some of which are on the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Superfund priority list.  We could incur substantial 
costs as a result of non-compliance with or liability for cleanup or other costs or damages under environmental laws, including 
the "Superfund" law.

In addition, increased worldwide focus on climate change issues has led to legislative and regulatory efforts to limit 

greenhouse gas emissions, including regulation of such emissions through a "cap-and-trade" system globally.  Increased 
regulation of greenhouse gas emissions and other climate change concerns could subject us to additional costs and restrictions, 
including increased energy and raw material costs.  Until definitive regulations are adopted, we are not able to predict how such 
regulations would affect our business, operations or financial results.

We may be subject to other more stringent environmental laws in the future.  If more stringent environmental laws are 

enacted in the future, these laws could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial 
condition.

Increasing costs of certain employee and retiree benefits could adversely affect our liability for such benefits.

The funding requirements and the amount of expenses recorded for our defined benefit pension plans are dependent on 

changes in market interest rates and the value of plan assets, which are dependent on actual plan asset returns.  Significant 
changes in market interest rates and decreases in the fair value of plan assets and investment losses on plan assets would 
increase funding requirements and expenses and may adversely impact our results of operations.

The Company absorbs a portion of healthcare costs for its employees.  If healthcare costs rise significantly and we 

continue to absorb the majority of these costs, these increasing costs may adversely impact our future results of operations.

As a provider of products to the U.S. government, we are subject to additional risks related to future government 
spending as well as unusual performance conditions and enhanced compliance risks.

In addition to the risks identified herein, doing business with the U.S. government subjects us to unusual risks, including 

dependence on the level of government spending and compliance with and changes in governmental acquisition regulations.  
Agreements relating to the sale of products to government entities may be subject to termination, reduction or modification, 
either at the convenience of the government or for our failure to perform, or other unsatisfactory performance under the 
applicable contract.  We are subject to government investigations of our business practices and compliance with government 
acquisition regulations.  If the Company were charged with wrongdoing as a result of any such investigation, it could be 
suspended from bidding on or receiving awards of new government contracts, and we could be subject to fines or penalties 
associated with contract non-compliance or resulting from such investigations, which could have a material adverse effect on 
our results of operations.

ITEM 2.  Properties.  Our corporate headquarters is located in Cleveland, Ohio, and, at June 30, 2019, the Company 
maintained approximately 290 manufacturing plants.  We also maintain various sales and administrative offices and distribution 
centers throughout the world.  None of these plants, administrative offices or distribution centers are individually material to 
our operations.  The facilities are situated in 37 states within the United States and in 49 other countries.  We own the majority 
of our manufacturing plants, and our leased properties primarily consist of sales and administrative offices and distribution 
centers.

We believe that our properties have been adequately maintained, are in good condition generally and are suitable and 
adequate for our business as presently conducted.  The extent to which we utilize our properties varies by property and from 
time to time.  We believe that our restructuring efforts have brought capacity levels closer to present and anticipated needs. 
Most of our manufacturing facilities remain capable of handling volume increases.

Overview

The Company is a leading worldwide diversified manufacturer of motion and control technologies and systems, providing 
precision engineered solutions for a wide variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets.

Our order rates provide a near-term perspective of the Company's outlook particularly when viewed in the context of prior and 
future order rates.  The Company publishes its order rates on a quarterly basis.  The lead time between the time an order is 
received and revenue is realized generally ranges from one day to 12 weeks for mobile and industrial orders and from one day 
to 18 months for aerospace orders.  We believe the leading economic indicators of these markets that have a correlation to the 
Company's future order rates are as follows:

• 

Purchasing Managers Index ("PMI") on manufacturing activity specific to regions around the world with respect to 
most mobile and industrial markets;

•  Global aircraft miles flown and global revenue passenger miles for commercial aerospace markets and Department of 

Defense spending for military aerospace markets; and

•  Housing starts with respect to the North American residential air conditioning market and certain mobile construction 

markets.

A PMI above 50 indicates that the manufacturing activity specific to a region of the world in the mobile and industrial markets 
is expanding.  A PMI below 50 indicates the opposite.  Recent PMI levels for some regions around the world were as follows:

49.8

Global aircraft miles flown increased by approximately four percent and global revenue passenger miles increased 
approximately five percent from their comparable 2018 levels.  The Company anticipates that U.S. Department of Defense 
spending with regards to appropriations and operations and maintenance for the U.S. Government's fiscal year 2019 will 
increase by approximately four percent from its fiscal 2018 level.

Housing starts in June 2019 were 10 percent higher than housing starts in March 2019 and six percent higher than housing 
starts in June 2018.

We believe many opportunities for profitable growth are available.  The Company intends to focus primarily on business 
opportunities in the areas of energy, water, food, environment, defense, life sciences, infrastructure and transportation.  

We believe we can meet our strategic objectives by:

• 

• 

Serving the customer and continuously enhancing its experience with the Company;

Successfully executing The Win Strategy initiatives relating to engaged people, premier customer experience, 
profitable growth and financial performance;

•  Maintaining a decentralized division and sales company structure;

• 

Fostering a safety first and entrepreneurial culture;

•  Engineering innovative systems and products to provide superior customer value through improved service, efficiency 

and productivity;

•  Delivering products, systems and services that have demonstrable savings to customers and are priced by the value 

they deliver; 

•  Acquiring strategic businesses; 

•  Organizing around targeted regions, technologies and markets;

•  Driving efficiency by implementing lean enterprise principles; and 

•  Creating a culture of empowerment through our values, inclusion and diversity, accountability and teamwork.

19

 
 
Acquisitions will be considered from time to time to the extent there is a strong strategic fit, while at the same time maintaining 
the Company’s strong financial position.  In addition, we will continue to assess our existing businesses and initiate efforts to 
divest businesses that are not considered to be a good long-term strategic fit for the Company.  Future business divestitures 
could have a negative effect on the Company’s results of operations.

The discussion below is structured to separately discuss the financial statements presented in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual 
Report on Form 10-K.  The term "year" and references to specific years refer to the applicable fiscal year.  Discussion of the 
2017 financial statements is included in Part II, Item 7 of the Company's 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Net sales in 2019 increased slightly from the 2018 amount.  This change was a result of an increase in volume, primarily in the 
Aerospace Systems Segment, partially offset by the effect of currency rate changes.  The effect of currency rate changes 
decreased net sales in 2019 by approximately $305 million, of which $285 million was attributable to the Diversified Industrial 
International operations.

Gross profit margin (calculated as net sales less cost of sales, divided by net sales) increased in 2019 primarily due to higher 
margins in the Aerospace Systems Segment driven by increased aftermarket and original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") 
volume and profitability and lower engineering development costs.  Lower operating costs in the Diversified Industrial 
Segment resulting from prior-year business realignment and acquisition integration activities and the Company's simplification 
initiative also contributed to higher margins in 2019.  Foreign currency transaction loss included in cost of sales for 2019 and 
2018 was $5.9 million and $7.3 million, respectively.  Included in cost of sales in 2019 and 2018 were business realignment 
charges of $14.7 million and $44.9 million, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 5.9 percent in 2019 primarily due to the benefits from prior-year 
business realignment and acquisition integration activities and the Company's simplification initiative, lower amortization 
expense and lower incentive compensation.  These benefits were partially offset by an increase in acquisition-related expenses 
and higher net expense associated with the Company's deferred compensation program and related investments.  Included in 
selling, general and administrative expenses in 2019 and 2018 were business realignment charges of $13.2 million and $36.8 
million, respectively.

Interest expense in 2019 decreased primarily due to lower weighted-average interest rates, partially offset by higher weighted-
average borrowings.

Loss (gain) on disposal of assets in 2018 includes a loss of $20 million on the sale of a business and a gain of $28 million on 
the sale of real estate.

Effective tax rate in 2019 was lower than 2018 primarily due to the net impact of one-time adjustments that were recorded in 
the prior year as a result of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJ Act") and the reduced U.S. income tax rate in the current year 
resulting from enactment of the TCJ Act.

The above presentation reconciles the percentage changes in net sales of the Diversified Industrial Segment reported in 
accordance with U.S. GAAP to percentage changes in net sales adjusted to remove the effects of divestitures made within the 
prior four fiscal quarters as well as the effects of currency exchange rates (a non-GAAP measure).  The effects of divestitures 
and currency exchange rates are removed to allow investors and the Company to meaningfully evaluate the percentage changes 
in net sales on a comparable basis from period to period.

Sales in 2019 for the Diversified Industrial North American operations increased 1.2 percent from 2018.  Divestitures and the 
effect of currency exchange rates decreased sales by approximately $21 million and $17 million, respectively.  Excluding 
divestitures and the effect of currency rate changes, sales in 2019 for the Diversified Industrial North American operations 
increased 1.8 percent from prior-year levels reflecting higher demand from distributors and end users in the heavy-duty truck, 
engine, and construction equipment markets, partially offset by lower demand from end users in the oil and gas, marine, 
semiconductor and power generation markets. 

Sales in the Diversified Industrial International operations decreased 4.9 percent in 2019.  Divestitures contributed 
approximately $31 million to the decrease in sales in 2019.  The effect of currency rate changes decreased sales by $285 
million, reflecting the strengthening of the U.S. dollar primarily against currencies in the Eurozone countries, China and Brazil.  
Excluding divestitures and the effect of currency rate changes, sales in 2019 for the Diversified Industrial International 
operations increased 1.1 percent from 2018 levels due to slightly higher volume in the Asia Pacific and Latin America regions, 
partially offset by a decrease in sales in Europe.  Within the Asia Pacific region, the increase in sales was primarily due to 
higher demand from distributors as well as end users in the construction equipment, oil and gas and engine markets, partially 
offset by lower end-user demand in the semiconductor, cars and light truck and industrial machinery markets.  In Europe, 
higher demand from distributors and end users in the construction equipment, forestry and heavy-duty truck markets was offset 
by lower end-user demand in the general industrial machinery, cars and light truck, mills and foundries, machine tool and oil 
and gas markets.  Within Latin America, distributors and end users in the farm and agricultural equipment and heavy-duty truck 
markets contributed to the increase in sales, partially offset by lower end-user demand in the power generation market.

Operating margins in 2019 increased in both the Diversified Industrial North American and International operations primarily 
due to lower operating expenses resulting from prior-year business realignment and acquisition integration activities and the 
Company's simplification initiative, lower current-year business realignment expenses and lower intangible amortization 
expense, partially offset by higher warehouse and shipping costs.  Higher manufacturing and materials support costs also 
impacted the Diversified Industrial North American operating margins.

The business realignment charges consist primarily of severance and plant closure costs related to actions taken under the 
Company's simplification initiative aimed at reducing organizational and process complexity, which is being implemented by 
its operating units throughout the world.  The majority of the Diversified Industrial International business realignment charges 
were incurred in Europe.  The Company anticipates that cost savings realized from the work force reduction measures taken 
during 2019 will increase 2020 operating income by approximately two percent in both the Diversified Industrial North 
American and Diversified Industrial International operations.  In 2020, the Company expects to continue to take actions 
necessary to structure appropriately the operations of the Diversified Industrial Segment.  These actions are expected to result 
in approximately $20 million in charges in 2020.

The Company anticipates Diversified Industrial North American sales for 2020 will range between a decrease of 2.8 percent 
and an increase of 0.2 percent from the 2019 level and Diversified Industrial International sales for 2020 will decrease between  
6.2 percent and 3.2 percent from the 2019 level.  Diversified Industrial North American operating margins in 2020 are expected 
to range from 16.8 percent to 17.2 percent and Diversified Industrial International margins are expected to range from 15.4 
percent to 15.9 percent.

The decrease in total Diversified Industrial Segment backlog in 2019 was primarily due to shipments exceeding orders in both 
the North American and International businesses, with each business accounting for 50 percent of the change.  Within the 
Diversified Industrial International business, the decrease in backlog was split evenly between Europe and the Asia Pacific 
region.  Backlog consists of written firm orders from a customer to deliver products and, in the case of blanket purchase orders, 
only includes the portion of the order for which a schedule or release date has been agreed to with the customer.  The dollar 
value of backlog is equal to the amount that is expected to be billed to the customer and reported as a sale.

Sales in 2019 were higher than the 2018 level primarily due to higher volume in the commercial and military aftermarket 
businesses as well as in the commercial and military original equipment manufacturer (OEM) businesses. 

The higher margin in 2019 was primarily due to a favorable product mix resulting from higher aftermarket and OEM volume 
and profitability, higher joint venture earnings, lower engineering development and the absence of business realignment 
expenses in the current year.

The increase in backlog in 2019 was primarily due to orders exceeding shipments in the military OEM and aftermarket 
businesses and in the commercial aftermarket business, partially offset by shipments exceeding orders in the commercial OEM 
business.  Backlog consists of written firm orders from a customer to deliver products and, in the case of blanket purchase 
orders, only includes the portion of the order for which a schedule or release date has been agreed to with the customer.  The 
dollar value of backlog is equal to the amount that is expected to be billed to the customer and reported as a sale. 

For 2020, sales are expected to increase between 3.0 percent and 5.6 percent from the 2019 level and operating margins are 
expected to range from 20.4 percent to 21.0 percent.  A higher concentration of commercial OEM volume in future product mix 
and higher than expected new product development costs could result in lower margins.

Corporate general and administrative expenses were $195 million in 2019 compared to $201 million in 2018.  As a percent of 
sales, corporate general and administrative expenses in both 2019 and 2018 were 1.4 percent.  The lower expense in 2019 is 
primarily due to lower incentive compensation, partially offset by higher net expense associated with the Company's deferred 
compensation program and related investments.

Foreign currency transaction primarily relates to the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on cash, marketable securities 
and other investments and intercompany transactions.  Divestitures and asset sales and writedowns in 2018 includes a net gain 
on the sale of assets, partially offset by a loss on the sale of the global Facet filtration business.  The acquisition expenses 
incurred in 2019 primarily relate to the proposed acquisition of Lord.

Cash (comprised of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and other investments) includes $975 million and 
$836 million held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries at June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  As a result of the TCJ Act, 
the prior worldwide tax system was replaced by a territorial tax system, which generally allows companies to repatriate future 
foreign source earnings without incurring additional U.S. federal taxes.  However, other U.S. or foreign taxes may be incurred 
should cash be distributed between the Company's subsidiaries.  The Company has determined it will no longer permanently 
reinvest certain foreign earnings.  All other undistributed foreign earnings remain permanently reinvested.  Refer to Note 5 to 
the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.

Trade accounts receivable, net are receivables due from customers for sales of product.  Days sales outstanding relating to 
trade receivables for the Company was 53 days in 2019 and 51 days in 2018.  The Company believes that its receivables are 
collectible and appropriate allowances for doubtful accounts have been recorded. 

24

Inventories increased $57 million from 2018 primarily due to a $59 million increase in inventories in the Aerospace Systems 
Segment and an increase of $12 million in the Diversified Industrial Segment, partially offset by a decrease of $15 million 
related to the effect of foreign currency translation.  Within the Diversified Industrial Segment, an increase in inventories in the 
North American operations was partially offset by a decrease in the International operations.  Days supply of inventory on hand 
was 69 days in 2019 and 64 days in 2018.

Long-term debt increased $2,202 million from 2018 primarily due to issuance of new debt related to the proposed acquisition 
of Lord.  Refer to Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for 
further discussion.

Shareholders' equity activity during 2019 included a decrease of $800 million related to share repurchases, a decrease of $228 
million related to pensions and postretirement benefits resulting from net actuarial losses due to a decrease in discount rates and 
a decrease of $66 million related to foreign currency translation adjustments.

Cash flows from operating activities in 2019 reflects an increase in net income of $452 million and an increase of $144 
million from cash provided by working capital items.  The Company also made a discretionary cash contribution to the 
Company's domestic qualified defined benefit plan of $200 million in 2019.

Cash flows from investing activities includes net (purchases) maturities of marketable securities and other investments of 
$(107) million and $3 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively.  It also includes $195 million and $248 million of capital 
expenditures in 2019 and 2018, respectively.  During 2018 cash flows from investing activities benefited from proceeds related 
to the sale of the global Facet filtration business.

Cash flows from financing activities includes issuance of long-term debt of $2,337 million in 2019 primarily related to the 
proposed acquisition of Lord.  Refer to Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual 
Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.  Cash flows from financing activities during 2018 included the repayment of long-
term debt of approximately $945 million.  The Company repurchased 4.8 million common shares for $800 million during 2019 
compared to the repurchase of 1.7 million common shares for $300 million in 2018.

Dividends have been paid for 276 consecutive quarters, including a yearly increase in dividends for the last 63 years.  The 
current annual dividend rate is $3.52 per common share.

The Company's goal is to maintain a strong investment-grade credit profile.  At June 30, 2019, the long-term credit ratings 
assigned to the Company's senior debt securities by the credit rating agencies engaged by the Company were as follows:  

Fitch Ratings
Moody's Investor Services, Inc.
Standard & Poor's

A-
Baa1
A

25

The rating agencies periodically update the Company's credit ratings as events occur.  On July 29, 2019, Standard & Poor's 
downgraded the Company's credit rating to A- reflecting the additional debt that will be used to fund the recently announced 
acquisitions.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had a line of credit totaling $2,000 million through a multi-currency revolving credit 
agreement with a group of banks, of which $1,414 million was available at June 30, 2019.  Refer to Note 9 to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.

The Company is currently authorized to sell up to $2,000 million of short-term commercial paper notes.  There were $586 
million outstanding commercial paper notes as of June 30, 2019, and the largest amount of commercial paper notes outstanding 
during the last quarter of 2019 was $1,000 million.

The Company's credit agreements and indentures governing certain debt agreements contain various covenants, the violation of 
which would limit or preclude the use of the applicable agreements for future borrowings or might accelerate the maturity of 
the related outstanding borrowings covered by the applicable agreements.  The Company is in compliance with all covenants 
and expects to remain in compliance during the term of the credit agreements and indentures.

During 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement under which it expects to acquire Lord for approximately 
$3,675 million in cash.  The Company intends to finance the purchase price for the Lord acquisition with the net proceeds from 
the Senior Notes due 2024, 2029 and 2049, the delayed-draw term loan and certain commercial paper proceeds.  Refer to Note 
10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.  On 
July 29, 2019, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Exotic for approximately 
$1,725 million in cash and intends to finance the purchase price for this acquisition with new debt.  These acquisitions remain 
subject to certain closing conditions.

Contractual Obligations - The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, for uncertain tax positions 
was $166 million at June 30, 2019.  Payment of these obligations would result from settlements with worldwide taxing 
authorities.  Due to the difficulty in determining the timing of the settlements, these obligations are not included in the 
following summary of the Company's fixed contractual obligations.  References to Notes are to the Notes to the Consolidated

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of 
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements 
and accompanying notes.  The policies discussed below are considered by management to be more critical than other policies 
because their application places the most significant demands on management's judgment.

26

Revenue Recognition - Revenues are recognized when control of performance obligations, which are distinct goods or 
services within the contract, is transferred to the customer.  Control is transferred when the customer has the ability to direct the 
use of and obtain the benefits from the goods or services.  A majority of the Company’s revenues are recognized at a point in 
time when control is transferred to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment.  However, a portion of the 
Company’s revenues are recognized over time if the customer simultaneously receives control as the Company performs work 
under a contract, if the customer controls the asset as it is being produced, or if the product being produced for the customer has 
no alternative use and the Company has a contractual right to payment.

For contracts where revenue is recognized over time, the Company uses the cost-to-cost, efforts expended or units of delivery 
method depending on the nature of the contract, including length of production time.  The estimation of these costs and efforts 
expended requires judgment on the part of management due to the duration of the contractual agreements as well as the 
technical nature of the products involved.  Adjustments to these estimates are made on a consistent basis and a contract reserve 
is established when the estimated costs to complete a contract exceed the expected contract revenues.

When there are multiple performance obligations within a contract, the transaction price is allocated to each performance 
obligation based on its standalone selling price.  The primary method used to estimate a standalone selling price is the price 
observed in standalone sales to customers for the same product or service.  Revenue is recognized when control of the 
individual performance obligations is transferred to the customer.

The Company considers the contractual consideration payable by the customer and assesses variable consideration that may 
affect the total transaction price.  Variable consideration is included in the estimated transaction price when there is a basis to 
reasonably estimate the amount, including whether the estimate should be constrained in order to avoid a significant reversal of 
revenue in a future period.  These estimates are based on historical experience, anticipated performance under the terms of the 
contract and the Company’s best judgment at the time.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets - Goodwill is tested for impairment, at the reporting unit level, on an annual 
basis and between annual tests whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may 
exceed its fair value.  For the Company, reporting units are equivalent to its operating segments.  As quoted market prices are 
not available for the reporting units, determining whether an impairment has occurred requires the valuation of the respective 
reporting unit, which was estimated using both income-based and market-based valuation methods.  The income-based 
valuation method utilized a discounted cash flow model, which required several assumptions including future sales growth and 
operating margin levels as well as assumptions regarding future industry-specific market conditions.  Each reporting unit 
regularly prepares discrete operating forecasts and uses these forecasts as the basis for the assumptions in the discounted cash 
flow analysis.  Within the discounted cash flow models, the Company also used a discount rate, commensurate with its cost of 
capital, but adjusted for inherent business risks, and an appropriate terminal growth factor.  The market-based valuation method 
included an analysis, for each reporting unit, consisting of market-adjusted multiples based on key data points for guideline 
public companies.  The Company also reconciled the estimated aggregate fair value of its reporting units resulting from these 
procedures to its overall market capitalization.

The results of the Company's 2019 annual goodwill impairment test performed as of December 31, 2018 indicated that no 
goodwill impairment existed.  The Company continually monitors its reporting units for impairment indicators and updates 
assumptions used in the most recent calculation of the fair value of a reporting unit as appropriate.  The Company is unaware of 
any current market trends that are contrary to the assumptions made in the estimation of the fair value of any of its reporting 
units.  If actual experience is not consistent with the assumptions made in the estimation of the fair value of the reporting units, 
it is possible that the Company may need to conduct additional goodwill impairment tests, and the estimated fair value of 
certain reporting units could fall below their carrying value.  

Long-lived assets held for use, which primarily includes finite-lived intangible assets and plant and equipment, are evaluated 
for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by their use 
over their expected useful lives and eventual disposition are less than their carrying value.  The long-term nature of these assets 
requires the estimation of their cash inflows and outflows several years into the future and only takes into consideration 
technological advances known at the time of the impairment test.  During 2019, the Company did not record any material 
impairment related to long-lived assets. 

27

Pensions - The annual net periodic expense and benefit obligations related to the Company's defined benefit plans are 
determined on an actuarial basis.  This determination requires critical assumptions regarding the discount rate, long-term rate of 
return on plan assets, increases in compensation levels and amortization periods for actuarial gains and losses.  Assumptions are 
determined based on Company data and appropriate market indicators, and are evaluated each year as of the plans' 
measurement date.  Changes in the assumptions to reflect actual experience as well as the amortization of actuarial gains and 
losses could result in a material change in the annual net periodic expense and benefit obligations reported in the financial 
statements. 

For the Company's domestic qualified defined benefit plan, a 50 basis point change in the assumed long-term rate of return on 
plan assets is estimated to have a $15 million effect on annual pension expense and a 50 basis point decrease in the discount 
rate is estimated to increase annual pension expense by $23 million.  As of June 30, 2019, $1,064 million of past years' net 
actuarial losses related to the Company's domestic qualified defined benefit plan are subject to amortization in the future.  
These losses will generally be amortized over approximately seven years and will negatively affect earnings in the future.  Any 
actuarial gains experienced in future years will help reduce the effect of the net actuarial loss amortization.  Further information 
on pensions is provided in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 
10-K.

Income Taxes - Significant judgment is required in determining the Company's income tax expense and in evaluating tax 
positions.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities have been recorded for the differences between the financial accounting 
and income tax basis of assets and liabilities.  Factors considered by the Company in determining the probability of realizing 
deferred income tax assets include forecasted operating earnings, available tax planning strategies and the time period over 
which the temporary differences will reverse.  The Company reviews its tax positions on a regular basis and adjusts the 
balances as new information becomes available.  For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will 
be sustained, the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon examination by a 
taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information will be recorded.  For those income tax positions where it is 
not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the Consolidated Financial 
Statements.  Further information on income taxes is provided in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, 
Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Loss Contingencies - The Company has a number of loss exposures incurred in the ordinary course of business such as 
environmental claims, product liability and litigation reserves.  Establishing loss accruals for these matters requires 
management's estimate and judgment with regards to risk exposure and ultimate liability or realization.  These loss accruals are 
reviewed periodically and adjustments are made to reflect the most recent facts and circumstances.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently issued accounting pronouncements are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part 
II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company manages foreign currency transaction and translation risk by utilizing derivative and non-derivative financial 
instruments, including forward exchange contracts, costless collar contracts, cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign 
denominated debt designated as net investment hedges.  The derivative financial instrument contracts are with major 
investment grade financial institutions and the Company does not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the 
counterparties.  The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as either assets or liabilities and are 
measured at fair value.  Further information on the fair value of these contracts is provided in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual 
Report on Form 10-K.  Gains or losses on derivatives that are not designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value through the 
Consolidated Statement of Income.  Gains or losses on derivatives that are designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value 
through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized 
in earnings.  The translation of the foreign denominated debt that has been designated as a net investment hedge is recorded in 
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and remains there until the underlying net investment is sold or substantially 
liquidated.

The Company's debt portfolio contains variable rate debt, inherently exposing the Company to interest rate risk.  The 
Company's objective is to maintain a 60/40 mix between fixed rate and variable rate debt thereby limiting its exposure to 
changes in near-term interest rates.  A 100 basis point increase in near-term interest rates would increase annual interest 
expense on variable rate debt existing at June 30, 2019 by approximately $9 million.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of 
Parker-Hannifin Corporation 

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Parker-Hannifin  Corporation  and  subsidiaries  (the 
"Company") as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and 
cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2019, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the 
Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control 
over financial reporting as of June 30, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) 
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the 
Company as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the 
period ended June 30, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 
Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as 
of June 30, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO. 

Basis for Opinions

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 the 
accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion 
on these financial statements and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. 
We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) 
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the 
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform 
the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether 
due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 
financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures 
included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits 
also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating 
the overall presentation of the financial statements. 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. 

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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  (1)  pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that,  in  reasonable  detail,  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  the  transactions  and 
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) 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 (3) 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.  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.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements 
that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or 
disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex 
judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, 
taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the 
critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Goodwill - Refer to Notes 1 and 8 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company tests goodwill for impairment, at the reporting unit level, on an annual basis and between annual tests 
whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value. For the year 
ended June 30, 2019, the Company’s reporting units are the same as its operating segments. Prior to fiscal year 2019, the 
Company’s reporting units were one level below the operating segment level.

We identified the determination of reporting units for goodwill as a critical audit matter due to the changes in the 
composition of reporting units made by the Company during the year ended June 30, 2019 and the significant judgments 
made by management to conclude that the Company’s reporting units are the same as its operating segments. This, in turn, 
required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort to evaluate management’s conclusions 
regarding the changes to the composition of reporting units. 

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the determination of reporting units for goodwill included the following, among others: 

•  We tested the effectiveness of the control over management’s determination of goodwill reporting units for goodwill. 

•  We evaluated the following significant judgments made by management:

– 

Identification of reporting units including the consideration of discrete financial information that was 
available and level of review of the operating results for each reporting unit. 

–  The aggregation of single reporting units based on similar economic characteristics.

•  We performed a retrospective review of select reporting units identified at one level below the operating segment level 
to evaluate the potential existence of any impairment indicators prior to the change in the determination of reporting 
units at the operating segment level.

The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in the Significant Accounting Policies 
footnote except that the business segment results are prepared on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which the 
Company’s management disaggregates financial information for internal review and decision-making. 

(a) 

(b) 

Includes an investment in a joint venture in which ownership is 50 percent or less and in which the Company does not 
have operating control (2019 - $234,703; 2018 - $235,665; 2017 - $240,182).

Net sales are attributed to countries based on the location of the selling unit.  North America includes the United 
States, Canada and Mexico.  No country other than the United States represents greater than 10 percent of 
consolidated sales.  Long-lived assets are comprised of plant and equipment based on physical location.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

The term "year" and references to specific years refer to the applicable fiscal years.

1. 

Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are 
summarized below.

Nature of Operations - The Company is a leading worldwide diversified manufacturer of motion and control 

technologies and systems, providing precision engineered solutions for a wide variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace 
markets.  The Company evaluates performance based on segment operating income before corporate administrative expenses, 
interest expense and income taxes.

 The Diversified Industrial Segment is an aggregation of several business units, which manufacture motion-control and 
fluid power system components for builders and users of various types of manufacturing, packaging, processing, transportation, 
agricultural, construction, and military vehicles and equipment.  Diversified Industrial Segment products are marketed 
primarily through field sales employees and independent distributors.  The Diversified Industrial North American operations 
have manufacturing plants and distribution networks throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico and primarily service 
North America.  The Diversified Industrial International operations provide Parker products and services to 47 countries 
throughout Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa.

The Aerospace Systems Segment produces hydraulic, fuel, pneumatic and electro-mechanical systems and 

components, which are utilized on virtually every domestic commercial, military and general aviation aircraft and also 
performs a vital role in naval vessels and land-based weapons systems.  This segment serves original equipment and 
maintenance, repair and overhaul customers worldwide.  Aerospace Systems Segment products are marketed by field sales 
employees and are sold directly to manufacturers and end users.

There are no individual customers to whom sales are more than three percent of the Company's consolidated sales.  

Due to the diverse group of customers throughout the world, the Company does not consider itself exposed to any 
concentration of credit risks.

The Company manufactures and markets its products throughout the world.  Although certain risks and uncertainties 

exist, the diversity and breadth of the Company's products and geographic operations mitigate the risk that adverse changes 
with respect to any particular product and geographic operation would materially affect the Company's operating results.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles 
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned domestic 

and foreign subsidiaries.  All intercompany transactions and profits have been eliminated in the consolidated financial 
statements.  The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements.  Within the Business Segment Information, 
intersegment and interarea sales have been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition - Revenues are recognized when control of performance obligations, which are distinct goods 
or services within the contract, is transferred to the customer.  Control is transferred when the customer has the ability to direct 
the use of and obtain the benefits from the goods or services.  When revenue is recognized at a point in time, control generally 
transfers at time of shipment.  Revenues are recognized over time if the customer simultaneously receives control as the 
Company performs work under a contract, if the customer controls the asset as it is being produced, or if the product produced 
for the customer has no alternative use and the Company has a contractual right to payment. 

For contracts where revenue is recognized over time, the Company uses the cost-to-cost, efforts expended or units of 

delivery method depending on the nature of the contract, including length of production time.  The estimation of these costs and 
efforts expended requires judgment on the part of management due to the duration of the contractual agreements as well as the 
technical nature of the products involved.  Adjustments to these estimates are made on a consistent basis and a contract reserve 
is established when the estimated costs to complete a contract exceed the expected contract revenues.

39

A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation.  When there are multiple 

performance obligations within a contract, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on its 
standalone selling price.  The primary method used to estimate a standalone selling price is the price observed in standalone 
sales to customers of the same product or service.  Revenue is recognized when control of the individual performance 
obligations is transferred to the customer.

The Company considers the contractual consideration payable by the customer and assesses variable consideration that 

may affect the total transaction price.  Variable consideration primarily includes prompt pay discounts, rebates and volume 
discounts and is included in the estimated transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount, including 
whether the estimate should be constrained in order to avoid a significant reversal of revenue in a future period.  These 
estimates are based on historical experience, anticipated performance under the terms of the contract and the Company’s best 
judgment at the time.

Payment terms vary by customer and the geographic location of the customer.  The time between when revenue is 

recognized and payment is due is not significant.  The Company’s contracts with customers generally do not include significant 
financing components or noncash consideration.  

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenue.  Shipping and 

handling costs are treated as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales.  The costs to obtain a contract where the 
amortization period for the related asset is one year or less are expensed as incurred.

There is generally no unilateral right to return products.  The Company primarily offers an assurance-type standard 

warranty that the product will conform to certain specifications for a defined period of time or period of usage after delivery.  
This type of warranty does not represent a separate performance obligation.

Cash - Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments with a three-month or less maturity.  These 

investments are carried at cost plus accrued interest and are readily convertible into cash.  

Marketable Securities and Other Investments - Consist of short-term, highly liquid investments with stated 

maturities of greater than three months from the date of purchase, which are carried at cost plus accrued interest.  Marketable 
securities and other investments also includes investments in equity securities and available-for-sale debt securities, which are 
carried at fair value.  Changes in fair value related to equity securities are recorded in net income.  Unrealized gains and losses 
related to available-for-sale debt securities are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss).  Gains and losses on 
available-for-sale debt securities are calculated based on the first-in, first-out method.  The Company has the ability to liquidate 
these investments after giving appropriate notice to the issuer.  

Trade Accounts Receivable, Net - Trade accounts receivable are initially recorded at their net collectible amount and 

are generally recorded at the time the revenue from the sales transaction is recorded.  Receivables are written off to bad debt 
primarily when, in the judgment of the Company, the receivable is deemed to be uncollectible due to the insolvency of the 
debtor.  Allowance for doubtful accounts was $8,874 and $9,672 at June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Non-Trade and Notes Receivable - The non-trade and notes receivable caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheet is 

comprised of the following components:

179,145

328,399

$

$

 Plant, Equipment and Depreciation - Plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated principally using 

the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes.  Depreciation rates are based on estimated useful lives of the assets, 
generally 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements and building equipment, seven to 10 years for machinery and 
equipment, and three to eight years for vehicles and office equipment.  Improvements, which extend the useful life of property, 
are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs are expensed.  The Company reviews plant and equipment for impairment 
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable.  When plant and 
equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the appropriate 
accounts and any gain or loss is included in current income.

Investments and Other Assets - Investments in joint-venture companies in which ownership is 50 percent or less and 

in which the Company does not have operating control are stated at cost plus the Company's equity in undistributed earnings 
and amounted to $316,728 and $304,389 at June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  A significant portion of the underlying net 
assets of the joint ventures are related to goodwill.  The Company's share of earnings from investments in joint-venture 
companies were $93,239, $50,473 and $42,352 in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets primarily include patents, trademarks and customer lists and are recorded at cost 

and amortized on a straight-line method.  Patents are amortized over the shorter of their remaining useful or legal life.  
Trademarks are amortized over the estimated time period over which an economic benefit is expected to be received.  Customer 
lists are amortized over a period based on anticipated customer attrition rates.  The Company reviews intangible assets for 
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable.

Goodwill - The Company conducts a formal impairment test of goodwill on an annual basis and between annual tests 
if an event occurs or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its 
carrying value.

Income Taxes - Income taxes are provided based upon income for financial reporting purposes.  Tax credits and 

similar tax incentives are applied to reduce the provision for income taxes in the year in which the credits arise.  The Company 
recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.  Penalties, if incurred, are recognized in 
income tax expense.  Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax 
purposes.  Income tax effects resulting from adjusting temporary differences recorded in accumulated other comprehensive 
(loss) are released when the circumstances on which they are based cease to exist.

Foreign Currency Translation - Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates, 
and income and expenses are translated using weighted-average exchange rates.  The effects of these translation adjustments, as 
well as gains and losses from certain intercompany transactions, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive (loss).  Such 
adjustments will affect net income only upon sale or liquidation of the underlying foreign investments.  Exchange losses from 
transactions in a currency other than the local currency of the entity involved are included within the cost of sales caption in the 
Consolidated Statement of Income and were $5,888, $7,284 and $8,060, in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Subsequent Events - The Company has evaluated subsequent events that have occurred through the date of filing of 

this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019.  On July 29, 2019, the Company announced that it had 
entered into a definitive agreement to acquire EMFCO Holdings Incorporated, parent company of Exotic Metals Forming 
Company LLC for approximately $1,725 million in cash.  The Company intends to finance the purchase price for the 
acquisition with new debt.  The acquisition remains subject to certain customary closing conditions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements -  In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued 
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-14, "Compensation--Retirement Benefits--Defined Benefit Plans--General."  ASU 
2018-14 aims to improve disclosure effectiveness by adding, removing or clarifying certain disclosure requirements related to 
defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans.  ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 
2020.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company adopted ASU 2018-14 on June 30, 2019.  The adoption of ASU 2018-14 did 
not materially impact the Company's financial statements or related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement."  ASU 2018-13 aims to improve disclosure 
effectiveness by adding, modifying or removing certain disclosure requirements for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value 
measurements.  ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 
2019.  Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of the ASU for any removed or modified disclosure.  Adoption of additional 
disclosures may be delayed until their effective dates.  The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on April 1, 2019.  The adoption of 
ASU 2018-13 did not materially impact the Company's financial statements or related disclosures.

41

 
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other 
Comprehensive Income."  ASU 2018-02 allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to 
retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJ Act") reduction of the U.S. 
federal corporate income tax rate.  The amendments also require certain disclosures about stranded tax effects.  ASU 2018-02 is 
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018.  Early adoption is 
permitted in any period after the issuance of the update.  The amendments in this update should be applied either in the period 
of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in 
the TCJ Act is recognized.  The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 on April 1, 2019 and elected not to reclassify the tax effects 
resulting from the TCJ Act.  As a result, the adoption of ASU 2018-02 did not affect the Company's financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities."  ASU 
2017-12 provides targeted improvements to Topic 815 accounting for hedging activities by expanding an entity’s ability to 
hedge non-financial and financial risk components and reduce complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk.  The 
guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire 
change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item.  The 
guidance also eases certain documentation and assessment requirements and modifies the accounting for components excluded 
from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.  ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, 
beginning after December 15, 2018.  Early application is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the update.  ASU 
2017-12 should be applied using a modified retrospective approach for cash flow and net investment hedge relationships that 
exist on the date of adoption and prospectively for presentation and disclosure requirements.  The Company adopted ASU 
2017-12 on April 1, 2019.  The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not materially impact the Company's financial statements or 
related disclosures.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic 
Postretirement Benefit Cost."  ASU 2017-07 requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item 
or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period.  The other 
components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component 
and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented.  ASU 2017-07 also provides that only the service cost 
component is eligible for capitalization, when applicable.  ASU 2017-07 should be applied retrospectively for the income 
statement presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost and prospectively, on or after 
the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic 
postretirement benefit cost.  On July 1, 2018, the Company retrospectively adopted ASU 2017-07 and reclassified prior-year 
amounts using a practical expedient that permits the usage of amounts previously disclosed in the retirement benefits note.  As 
a result, $25,096 and $17,163 of expense was reclassified from cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, 
respectively, to other (income) expense, net for 2018.  Expense of $69,933 and $41,115 was reclassified from cost of sales and 
selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, to other (income) expense, net for 2017.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory."  ASU 2016-16 
provides that an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory 
when the transfer occurs.  Consequently, the amendments in ASU 2016-16 eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of 
an asset other than inventory. The Company adopted ASU 2016-16 on July 1, 2018 and recorded a cumulative effect adjustment 
to increase retained earnings by approximately $32 million.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments."  ASU 2016-15 
provides specific guidance on several cash flow classification issues to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions 
are classified within the statement of cash flows.  On July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-15 and retrospectively 
adjusted its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.  These retrospective adjustments were not material.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments."  ASU 2016-13 
requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected 
to be collected.  The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the 
financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset.  Credit losses 
relating to available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses.  ASU 2016-13 is 
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019.  Early adoption is 
permitted.  The Company has not yet determined the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on its financial statements.

42

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases." ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to put most leases with terms 
greater than 12 months on their balance sheet by recognizing a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing their 
right to use the asset during the lease term.  For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an 
accounting policy election, by class of underlying asset, not to recognize the corresponding assets and lease liabilities.  Lessee 
recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows will not change significantly from existing guidance 
and lessor accounting is largely unchanged.  ASU 2016-02 also changes the definition of a lease and requires qualitative, and 
quantitative disclosures that provide information about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.  
ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018.   The 
Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on July 1, 2019 using the optional transition method and will not restate prior periods.  The 
Company elected to use the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance of the new standard.  The 
Company is executing a project plan to guide the implementation of this standard and is identifying and implementing 
appropriate changes to its business processes and controls to support the accounting and disclosure requirements under the new 
guidance.  Upon adoption, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and lease liability related to its operating leases of less 
than one percent of total assets. 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities."  ASU 
2016-01 requires equity investments (excluding equity method investments and investments that are consolidated) to be 
measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.  Equity investments that do not have a readily 
determinable fair value may be measured at cost, adjusted for impairment and observable price changes.  ASU 2016-01 also 
simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments, eliminates the disclosure of the assumptions used to estimate the 
fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at cost on the balance sheet and requires the exit 
price to be used when measuring fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes.  Under ASU 2016-01, changes in 
fair value (resulting from instrument-specific credit risk) will be presented separately in other comprehensive income for 
liabilities measured using the fair value option.  Financial assets and liabilities will be presented separately by measurement 
category and type, either on the balance sheet or in the financial statement disclosures.  The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 on 
July 1, 2018 and reclassified approximately $2 million of unrealized gains from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) to 
retained earnings.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers."  ASU 2014-09 requires revenue 
recognition to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that a company 
expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services.  To achieve this principle, a company must apply five steps 
including identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the 
transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when (or as) the 
company satisfies the performance obligations.  The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 on July 1, 2018 using the modified 
retrospective method and recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to increase retained earnings by approximately $5 million.  
See Note 2 for further discussion.

2. 

Revenue recognition

Revenue is derived primarily from the sale of products in a variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets.  A majority of 
the Company’s revenues are recognized at a point in time.  However, a portion of the Company’s revenues are recognized over 
time.

Disaggregation of revenue

Revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated by technology platforms for the Diversified Industrial Segment, by 
product platforms for the Aerospace Systems Segment and by geographic location for the total Company.

The Diversified Industrial Segment is an aggregation of several business units, which manufacture motion-control and fluid 
power system components for builders and users of various types of manufacturing, packaging, processing, transportation, 
agricultural, construction, and military vehicles and equipment.  Contracts consist of individual purchase orders for standard 
product, blanket purchase orders and production contracts.  Blanket purchase orders are often associated with individual 
purchase orders and have terms and conditions which are subject to a master supply or distributor agreement.  Individual 
production contracts, some of which may include multiple performance obligations, are typically for products to be 
manufactured to the customer's specifications.  Revenue in the Diversified Industrial Segment is typically recognized at the 
time of product shipment, but a portion of revenue may be recognized over time for installation services or in situations where 
the product being manufactured has no alternative use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment.

The Aerospace Systems Segment produces hydraulic, fuel, pneumatic and electro-mechanical systems and components, which 
are utilized on virtually every domestic commercial, military and general aviation aircraft and which also perform a vital role in 
naval vessels and land-based weapon systems.  Contracts generally consist of blanket purchase orders and individual long-term 
production contracts.  Blanket purchase orders, which have terms and conditions subject to long-term supply agreements, are 
typically associated with individual purchase orders.  Revenue in the Aerospace Systems Segment is typically recognized at the 
time of product shipment, but a portion of revenue may be recognized over time in situations where the customer controls the 
asset as it is being produced or the product being manufactured has no alternative use and the Company has an enforceable 
right to payment.

The majority of revenues from the Aerospace Systems Segment is generated from sales to customers within North America.  

Contract balances

Contract assets and contract liabilities are reported on a contract-by-contract basis.  Contract assets reflect revenue recognized 
and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing.  Contract liabilities relate to payments received in 
advance of the satisfaction of performance under the contract.  Payments from customers are received based on the terms 
established in the contract with the customer.

Total contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows:

At June 30, 2019, net contract liabilities increased $3 million from July 1, 2018 net contract liabilities of $38 million.  The 
increase in net contract liabilities was primarily due to advance payments from customers exceeding revenue recognized during 
the period.  During 2019, approximately $37 million of revenue was recognized that was included in the contract liabilities at 
July 1, 2018.

Remaining performance obligations

The Company’s backlog represents written firm orders from a customer to deliver products and, in the case of blanket purchase 
orders, only includes the portion of the order for which a schedule or release has been agreed to with the customer.  The 
Company believes its backlog represents its unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations.  Backlog at June 30, 
2019 was $4,220 million, of which approximately 90 percent is expected to be recognized as revenue within the next 12 
months and the balance thereafter.

Adoption of ASU 2014-09

On July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective approach.  The provisions of ASU 
2014-09 were applied only to contracts that were not completed as of July 1, 2018.  Comparative prior-period financial 
information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the comparative 
prior-year period.  

The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 1, 2018 related to the 
adoption of ASU 2014-09 is as follows:

Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisitions - On April 26, 2019, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement under which it 
expects to acquire LORD Corporation ("Lord") for approximately $3,675 million in cash.  Acquisition-related transaction and 
integration costs totaled $17,146 in 2019.  These costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the 
Consolidated Statement of Income.  The acquisition remains subject to certain closing conditions.  The Company intends to 
finance the purchase price for the Lord acquisition with the net proceeds from the Senior Notes due 2024, 2029 and 2049, the 
delayed-draw term loan and certain commercial paper proceeds.  See Note 10 for further discussion.

During 2017, the Company completed three acquisitions, including Clarcor, whose aggregate sales for their most recent fiscal 
year prior to acquisition were approximately $1,522 million.  Total purchase price for the three acquisitions was approximately 
$4,227 million in cash and $316 million in assumed debt. 

The results of operations for completed acquisitions were included as of the respective dates of acquisition.  Assets acquired 
and liabilities assumed were recognized at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date.  The process of estimating the 
fair values of certain tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities requires the use of judgment in 
determining the appropriate assumptions and estimates.  Revisions occur as valuations are finalized, additional information 
becomes available and as additional analysis is performed.  All measurement period adjustments were completed within a year 
from the acquisition date, and such adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations and 
financial position.

The purchase price allocation for acquisitions in 2017 is as follows:

Assets:

Accounts receivable

Inventories

Prepaid expenses

Deferred income taxes

Plant and equipment

Intangible and other assets

Goodwill

Liabilities:

Notes payable

Accounts payable, trade

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired, primarily all of which is not deductible 
for tax purposes.  With respect to the Clarcor acquisition, goodwill represents cost synergies and enhancements to the 
Company's existing filtration technologies.

The remaining disclosures in Note 3 pertain only to the Clarcor acquisition as the other two acquisitions completed during 2017 
were immaterial.

46

Clarcor is a major manufacturer of filtration products under more than a dozen respected brands, including CLARCOR, 
Baldwin, Fuel Manager, PECOFacet, Airguard, Altair, BHA, Clearcurrent, Clark Filter, Hastings, United Air Specialists, 
Keddeg and Purolator.  Clarcor had annual sales of approximately $1,400 million for its fiscal 2016.  For segment reporting 
purposes, Clarcor is part of the Diversified Industrial Segment.

The Company believes that Clarcor is a highly complementary acquisition that provides the Company with additional 
proprietary media, industrial and process filtration products and technologies, as well as a broad portfolio of replacement 
filters.  The acquisition of Clarcor also offers significant expected operating synergies.

The Company's results of operations for 2017 include Clarcor's results of operations from the date of acquisition, February 28, 
2017, through June 30, 2017.  Net sales and segment operating (loss) attributable to Clarcor during this period was $487,388 
and $(16,164), respectively.  

The following unaudited pro forma information gives effect to the Company's acquisition of Clarcor as if the acquisition had 
occurred on July 1, 2015, and Clarcor had been included in the Company's results of operations for 2017.

The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table above includes adjustments related to amortization expense, 
depreciation, interest expense and transaction costs incurred as well as adjustments to cost of sales for the step-up in inventory 
to estimated acquisition-date fair value and related income tax effects and was based on a preliminary purchase price allocation 
using information available at that time.  Transaction costs incurred (which are reflected in the selling, general and 
administrative expenses caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income) and the adjustment to cost of sales for the step-up in 
inventory to estimated acquisition-date fair value are considered to be non-recurring.  Adjustments for non-recurring items 
increased pro forma net income attributable to common shareholders by $108,078 for 2017.  The unaudited pro forma financial 
information does not give effect to any synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result or have resulted from 
the Clarcor acquisition.  

Divestitures - During 2018, the Company divested its global Facet filtration business, which was part of the Diversified 
Industrial Segment.  The operating results and net assets of the global Facet filtration business were immaterial to the 
Company's consolidated results of operations and financial position.  The Company recorded a pre-tax loss in 2018 of 
approximately $20 million and tax expense of approximately $29 million resulting from a tax gain related to the divestiture.  
The pre-tax loss is reflected in the loss (gain) on disposal of assets caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income and the 
other expense caption in the Business Segment Information.  

During 2017, the Company divested its Autoline product line, which was part of the Diversified Industrial Segment.  The 
operating results and net assets of the Autoline product line were immaterial to the Company's consolidated results of 
operations and financial position.  The Company recorded a net pre-tax gain in 2017 of approximately $45 million related to 
the divestiture.  The gain is reflected in the loss (gain) on disposal of assets caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income 
and the other expense caption in the Business Segment Information.

Charges Related to Business Realignment 

The Company incurred business realignment charges and acquisition integration costs in 2019, 2018 and 2017.  The acquisition 
integration costs relate to the 2017 acquisition of Clarcor.

The business realignment charges primarily relate to actions taken under the Company's simplification initiative aimed at 
reducing organizational and process complexity.  Business realignment charges and acquisition integration costs primarily 
consist of severance costs as well as plant closures, with the majority of charges incurred in Europe and North America.  The 
Company believes the realignment and acquisition integration actions taken will positively impact future results of operations 
but will not have a material effect on liquidity and sources and uses of capital.

The business realignment charges and acquisition integration costs are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Income as 
follows:

acquisition integration charges incurred during 2019, the remainder of which are expected to be paid by June 30, 2020.  
Severance payments relating to prior-year actions are being made as required.  Remaining severance payments related to 
current-year and prior-year business realignment and acquisition integration actions of approximately $13 million are primarily 
reflected within the other accrued liabilities caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  Additional charges may be recognized 
in future periods related to the business realignment and acquisition integration actions described above, the timing and amount 
of which are not known at this time.

The Company made the accounting policy election to treat taxes related to Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") as a 
current period expense when incurred.  The tax rate impact of GILTI is included with tax related to international activities in 
the table above.

The Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 118, which provided guidance on 
accounting for the tax effects of the TCJ Act.  SAB 118 provided a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year 
from the TCJ Act's enactment date for companies to complete the applicable accounting under Topic 740.  In accordance with 
SAB 118 and based on the information available, the Company recorded additional tax expense of $14,485 to the estimated 
one-time transition tax during 2019 prior to the close of the measurement period.  This adjustment is a result of the Company's 
analysis of related proposed regulations that were issued subsequent to the recording of the previous provisional amount.  The 
Company considers its provisional accounting for the effects of the TCJ Act, which includes the remeasurement of deferred tax 
balances and related valuation allowances, the one-time transition tax and the repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings, as 
being complete and as meeting the recognition guidance under Topic 740.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company recorded deferred tax assets of $792,914 resulting from $3,057,386 in loss carryforwards.  A 
valuation allowance of $779,733 related to the loss carryforwards has been established due to the uncertainty of their 
realization.  Of this valuation allowance, $745,293 relates to non-operating entities whose loss carryforward utilization is 
considered to be remote.  Some of the loss carryforwards can be carried forward indefinitely; others can be carried forward 
from three to 20 years.  In addition, a valuation allowance of $17,959 related to future deductible items has been established 
due to the uncertainty of their realization.  These future deductible items are recorded in the other liabilities and reserves line in 
the table above.

Although future distributions of foreign earnings to the U.S. should not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes, other U.S. or 
foreign taxes may be imposed on such earnings.  The Company has analyzed existing factors and determined it will no longer 
permanently reinvest certain foreign earnings.  On these undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $219 million that are 
no longer permanently reinvested outside of the U.S., the Company has recorded a deferred tax liability of  $11 million.  The 
remaining undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $3,000 million remain permanently reinvested outside the U.S. at 
June 30, 2019.  Of these undistributed earnings, we have recorded a deferred tax liability of $6 million where certain foreign 
holding companies are not permanently reinvested in their subsidiaries.  It is not practicable to estimate the additional taxes, 
including applicable foreign withholding taxes, that might be payable on the potential distribution of such permanently 
reinvested foreign earnings.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $140,662, $153,091 
and $95,460 as of June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  If recognized, a significant portion of the gross unrecognized 
tax benefits as of June 30, 2017, would have been offset against an asset that had been recorded in the Consolidated Balance 
Sheet.  The accrued interest related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluded from the amounts above, was $25,214, 
$21,737 and $15,432 as of June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

It is reasonably possible that, within the next 12 months, the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits could be reduced by up 
to approximately $100,000 as a result of the revaluation of existing uncertain tax positions arising from developments in the 
examination process or the closure of tax statutes.  Any increase in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 
months is expected to be insignificant.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions.  In the 
normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world.  The Company is 
open to assessment of its U.S. federal income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service for years after 2013, and its state and 
local tax returns for years after 2013.  The Company is open to assessment for significant foreign jurisdictions for years after 
2009.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  
Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents 
outstanding during the year.  Common share equivalents represent the dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based awards.  The 
reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted earnings per share was as follows:

Numerator:

Net income attributable to common shareholders
Denominator:

Basic - weighted-average common shares

Increase in weighted-average common shares from dilutive effect of
equity-based awards

Diluted - weighted-average common shares, assuming exercise of
equity-based awards

Inventories

The majority of domestic inventories are valued by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") cost method and the balance of the 
Company's inventories are valued by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") cost method.  Inventories valued by the FIFO cost method 
are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  Inventories valued by the LIFO cost method are stated at lower of cost or 
market.

Inventories valued on the LIFO cost method were approximately 41 percent of total inventories in both 2019 and 2018.  The 
current cost of these inventories exceeds their valuation determined on the LIFO basis by $222,715 in 2019 and $203,192 in 
2018.  Progress payments of $25,026 in 2018 are netted against inventories.

Acquisitions represent the original goodwill allocation, purchase price adjustments and final adjustments to the purchase price 
allocation for the acquisitions during the measurement period subsequent to the applicable acquisition dates.  The impact of the 
purchase price adjustments and final adjustments to the purchase price allocation on the Company's results of operations and 
financial position were immaterial.  Divestitures primarily represent goodwill associated with the sale of a business in 2018 
(see Note 3 for further discussion).

The Company's annual impairment tests performed in 2019, 2018 and 2017 resulted in no impairment loss being recognized.  

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line method over their legal or estimated useful lives.  The gross carrying value 
and accumulated amortization for each major category of intangible asset at June 30 are as follows:

Total intangible asset amortization expense in 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $205,164, $221,494 and $145,128, respectively.  
Estimated intangible asset amortization expense for the five years ending June 30, 2020 through 2024 is $177,239, $172,522, 
$166,398, $155,437 and $149,798, respectively.

Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted net cash flows 
to be generated by their use over their expected useful lives and eventual disposition may be less than their net carrying value.  
No material intangible asset impairments occurred in 2019, 2018 or 2017.

9. 

Financing Arrangements

The Company has a line of credit totaling $2,000,000 through a multi-currency revolving credit agreement with a group of 
banks, of which $1,414,000 was available at June 30, 2019.  The credit agreement expires in October 2021; however, the 
Company has the right to request a one-year extension of the expiration date on an annual basis, which request may result in 
changes to the current terms and conditions of the credit agreement.  Advances from the credit agreement can be used for 
general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and for the refinancing of existing indebtedness.  The credit agreement 
requires the payment of an annual facility fee, the amount of which may increase in the event the Company's credit ratings are 
lowered.  Although a lowering of the Company's credit ratings would likely increase the cost of future debt, it would not limit 
the Company's ability to use the credit agreement nor would it accelerate the repayment of any outstanding borrowings.

The Company is currently authorized to sell up to $2,000,000 of short-term commercial paper notes.  Commercial paper notes 
outstanding at June 30, 2019 and 2018 were $586,000 and $533,800, respectively.

In addition to commercial paper notes, notes payable includes short-term lines of credit and borrowings from foreign banks.  At 
June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had $48,751 and $48,338, respectively, in lines of credit from various foreign banks, 
none of which were outstanding at June 30, 2019 and 2018.  Most of these agreements are renewed annually.  The Company 
had borrowings from foreign banks of $786 and $4,255 at June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  The weighted-average interest 
rate on notes payable during 2019 and 2018 was 2.8 percent and 1.8 percent, respectively.

The Company's foreign locations in the ordinary course of business may enter into financial guarantees through financial 
institutions which enable customers to be reimbursed in the event of nonperformance by the Company.

The Company's credit agreements and indentures governing certain debt agreements contain various covenants, the violation of 
which would limit or preclude the use of the applicable agreements for future borrowings, or might accelerate the maturity of 
the related outstanding borrowings covered by the applicable agreements.  Based on the Company's rating level at June 30, 
2019, the most restrictive financial covenant provides that the ratio of debt to debt-shareholders' equity cannot exceed 0.60 to 
1.0.  As of June 30, 2019, the Company's debt to debt-shareholders' equity ratio was 0.55 to 1.0.  The Company is in 
compliance with all covenants.

During 2019, the Company issued $575,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.70 percent Senior Notes due 2024, $1,000,000 
aggregate principal amount of 3.25 percent Senior Notes due 2029, and $800,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.00 percent 
Senior Notes due 2049 (collectively, the "Senior Notes").  Interest payments are due semi-annually.  The net proceeds received 
from the issuance of the Senior Notes are intended to finance a portion of the purchase price for the proposed acquisition of 
Lord.  If either the acquisition of Lord does not occur on or before April 27, 2020, or if the Company notifies the trustee that it 
will not pursue the acquisition of Lord, the 2024 Senior Notes and the 2049 Senior Notes (collectively, the "SMR Notes") will 
be subject to a special mandatory redemption.  The special mandatory redemption price will be equal to 101 percent of the 
aggregate principal amount of the SMR Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.  If the acquisition of Lord does not occur, the 
net proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes will be used for general corporate purposes.

During 2019, the Company also entered into a delayed-draw term loan with an aggregate principal amount of $800,000.  The 
draw on the term loan is subject to the closing of the proposed acquisition of Lord, and the related proceeds will be used solely 
to finance a portion of the purchase price.  The Company anticipates that the term loan will bear an interest rate of LIBOR plus 
112.5 bps.  Interest payments are due quarterly.

Debt issuance costs related to both the Senior Notes and delayed-draw term loan were approximately $39,322 and will be 
amortized over the respective debt terms. 

Principal amounts of long-term debt payable in the five years ending June 30, 2020 through 2024 are $228, $32, $11, $300,006 
and $575,006, respectively.  The principal amounts of long-term debt payable exclude the impact of the amortization of debt 
issuance costs.

Lease Commitments - Future minimum rental commitments as of June 30, 2019, under non-cancelable operating leases, 
which expire at various dates, are as follows:  2020-$45,920; 2021-$31,115; 2022-$21,625; 2023-$13,228; 2024-$7,591 and 
after 2024-$22,723.

Rental expense in 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $126,752, $126,940 and $118,723, respectively.

11. 

Retirement Benefits

Pensions - The Company has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering eligible employees, including certain 
employees in foreign countries.  Plans for most salaried employees provide pay-related benefits based on years of service.  
Plans for hourly employees generally provide benefits based on flat-dollar amounts and years of service.  The Company also 
has arrangements for certain key employees which provide for supplemental retirement benefits.  In general, the Company's 
policy is to fund these plans based on legal requirements, tax considerations, local practices and investment opportunities.  The 
Company also sponsors defined contribution plans and participates in government-sponsored programs in certain foreign 
countries.

The increase in the benefit obligation in 2019, largely reflected in the net actuarial loss component, is primarily due to the 
decrease in the discount rate used to measure the obligation across all pension plans.  Additionally, the benefit obligation 
increased slightly as a result of updated census data for the domestic qualified defined benefit plan due to delayed retirements 
and higher than anticipated compensation increases. 

The decrease in the benefit obligation in 2018, which is also largely reflected in net actuarial loss component, is primarily due 
to the increase in the discount rates for all plans as well as updated mortality assumptions for the domestic qualified defined 
benefit plan.

The increase in the fair value of plan assets in 2019 is attributable to a $200 million discretionary contribution made during 
2019 into the domestic qualified defined benefit plan and investment gains.  The increase in the fair value of plan assets in 2018 
is predominantly due to the favorable investment returns of plan assets.

The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit plans was $5,184,637 and $4,751,111 at June 30, 2019 and 2018, 
respectively.  The accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with accumulated benefit 
obligations in excess of plan assets were $5,094,129 and $4,140,395, respectively, at June 30, 2019, and $4,665,272 and 
$3,807,859, respectively, at June 30, 2018.  The projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with 
projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $5,427,084 and $4,175,871, respectively, at June 30, 2019, and 
$4,970,120 and $3,842,539, respectively, at June 30, 2018.

The Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $77 million to its defined benefit pension plans in 2020, the 
majority of which relate to its non-U.S. plans.  Estimated future benefit payments in the five years ending June 30, 2020 
through 2024 are $235,709, $249,814, $306,446, $266,915 and $274,452, respectively, and $1,482,681 in the aggregate for the 
five years ending June 30, 2025 through June 30, 2029.

The assumptions used to measure net periodic benefit cost for the Company's significant defined benefit plans are:

Average increase in compensation

Expected return on plan assets

The assumptions used to measure the benefit obligation for the Company's significant defined benefit plans are:

3.65%

0.20 to 2.96% 0.30 to 3.37%
1.75 to 3.9% 1.75 to 5.5%

The discount rate assumption is based on current rates of high-quality, long-term corporate bonds over the same estimated time 
period that benefit payments will be required to be made.  The expected return on plan assets assumption is based on the 
weighted-average expected return of the various asset classes in the plans' portfolio.  The asset class return is developed using 
historical asset return performance as well as current market conditions such as inflation, interest rates and equity market 
performance.

The weighted-average target asset allocation as of June 30, 2019 is 42 percent equity securities, 46 percent debt securities and 
12 percent other investments.  The investment strategy for the Company's worldwide defined benefit pension plan assets 
focuses on achieving prudent actuarial funding ratios while maintaining acceptable levels of risk in order to provide adequate 
liquidity to meet immediate and future benefit requirements.  This strategy requires investment portfolios that are broadly 
diversified across various asset classes and external investment managers.  Assets held in the U.S. defined benefit plan account 
for approximately 75 percent of the Company's total defined benefit plan assets.  The Company's overall investment strategy 
with respect to the Company's U.S. defined benefit plan is to opportunistically migrate from its traditional mix between growth 
seeking assets (primarily consisting of global public equities in developed and emerging countries and hedge fund strategies) 
and income generating assets (primarily consisting of high quality bonds, both domestic and global) to an allocation more 
heavily weighted toward liability-hedging assets.  Over time, the Company will continue to add long duration fixed income 
assets to the portfolio and eliminate hedge funds.  These securities are highly correlated with the Company's pension liabilities 
and will be managed in a liability framework.

Cash and cash equivalents, which include repurchase agreements and other short-term investments, are valued at cost, which 
approximates fair value.  

Equity securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.  
U.S. based companies include Parker stock with a fair value of $226,027 and $207,202 as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, 
respectively.  

Fixed income securities are valued using both market observable inputs for similar assets that are traded on an active market 
and the closing price on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.  

Mutual funds are valued using the closing market price reported on the active market on which the fund is traded or at net asset 
value per share and primarily consist of equity and fixed income funds.  The equity funds primarily provide exposure to U.S. 
and international equities, real estate and commodities.  The fixed income funds primarily provide exposure to high-yield 
securities and emerging market fixed income instruments.  Mutual funds measured at fair value using the net asset value per 
share practical expedient have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy and are being presented in the tables above to 
permit a reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to total pension plan assets.

Common/Collective trusts primarily consist of equity, fixed income and real estate funds and are valued using the closing 
market price reported on the active market on which the fund is traded or at net asset value per share.  Common/Collective trust 
investments can be redeemed without restriction after giving appropriate notice to the issuer.  Generally, redemption of the 
entire investment balance requires a 60-day notice period.  The equity funds provide exposure to large, mid and small cap U.S. 
equities, international large and small cap equities and emerging market equities.  The fixed income funds provide exposure to 
U.S., international and emerging market debt securities.  Common/Collective trusts measured at fair value using the net asset 
value per share practical expedient have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy and are being presented in the tables 
above to permit a reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to total pension plan assets.

58

Limited Partnerships primarily consist of hedge funds valued using a net asset value per share and provide exposure to a variety 
of hedging strategies including long/short equity, relative value, event driven and global macro.  Limited Partnership 
investments can be redeemed either monthly or quarterly and without restriction after giving appropriate notice to the issuer.  
Redemption of the entire investment balance generally requires no more than a 95-day notice period.  Limited Partnerships 
measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient have not been categorized in the fair value 
hierarchy and are being presented in the tables above to permit a reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to total pension plan 
assets.

Miscellaneous primarily includes insurance contracts held in the asset portfolio of the Company's non-U.S. defined benefit 
pension plans and net payables for securities purchased but not settled in the asset portfolio of the Company's U.S. defined 
benefit pension plan.  Insurance contracts are valued at the present value of future cash flows promised under the terms of the 
insurance contracts.

The primary investment objective of equity securities and equity funds, within both the mutual fund and common/collective 
trust asset class, is to obtain capital appreciation in an amount that at least equals various market-based benchmarks.  The 
primary investment objective of fixed income securities and fixed income funds, within both the mutual fund and common/
collective trust asset class, is to provide for a constant stream of income while preserving capital.  The primary investment 
objective of limited partnerships is to achieve capital appreciation through an investment program focused on specialized 
investment strategies.  The primary investment objective of insurance contracts, included in the miscellaneous asset class, is to 
provide a stable rate of return over a specified period of time.

Employee Savings Plan - The Company sponsors an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") as part of its existing savings 
and investment 401(k) plan.  The ESOP is available to eligible domestic employees.  Company matching contributions, up to a 
maximum of four percent of an employee's annual compensation, are recorded as compensation expense.  Participants may 
direct company matching contributions to any investment option within the savings and investment 401(k) plan.

In addition to shares within the ESOP, as of June 30, 2019, employees have elected to invest in 1,777,467 shares of common 
stock within a company stock fund of the savings and investment 401(k) plan.

The Company has a retirement income account ("RIA") within the employee savings plan.  The Company makes a cash 
contribution to the participant's RIA each year, the amount of which is based on the participant's age and years of service.  
Participants do not contribute to the RIA.  The Company recognized $30,603, $29,023 and $29,309 in expense related to the 
RIA in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

During 2017, the Company assumed various defined contribution plans previously sponsored by Clarcor.  The Company 
recognized expense of $4,481 and $2,199 in 2018 and 2017, respectively, related to these defined contribution plans.  In 
January 2018, the former employees of Clarcor became eligible to participate in the savings and investment 401(k) plan.

Other Postretirement Benefits - The Company provides postretirement medical and life insurance benefits to certain retirees 
and eligible dependents.  Most plans are contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted annually.  The plans are unfunded and 
pay stated percentages of covered medically necessary expenses incurred by retirees, after subtracting payments by Medicare or 
other providers and after stated deductibles have been met.  For most plans, the Company has established cost maximums to 
more effectively control future medical costs.  The Company has reserved the right to change these benefit plans.

The Company recognized $1,838, $2,755 and $4,357 in expense related to other postretirement benefits in 2019, 2018 and 
2017, respectively.  Components of net other postretirement benefit cost, other than service cost, are included in other (income) 
expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

The presentation of the amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) 
is on a debit (credit) basis and is before the effect of income taxes. 

The decrease in the benefit obligation in 2019, largely reflected in the net actuarial gain component, is primarily due to updated 
census data resulting from a different mix of benefit selections and actuarial assumptions reflecting lower benefit claims offset 
by decreases in the discount rates.  The decrease in the benefit obligation in 2018, which is also primarily reflected in the net 
actuarial gain component, is due to increases in the discount rates, updated census data related to coverage elections and 
actuarial assumption changes.

The assumptions used to measure the net periodic benefit cost for postretirement benefit obligations are:

Discount rate

Current medical cost trend rate (Pre-65 participants)

Current medical cost trend rate (Post-65 participants)

Ultimate medical cost trend rate

Medical cost trend rate decreases to ultimate in year

Estimated future benefit payments for other postretirement benefits in the five years ending June 30, 2020 through 2024 are 
$5,308, $5,051, $4,675, $4,401 and $4,212, respectively, and $18,271 in the aggregate for the five years ending June 30, 2025 
through June 30, 2029.

Other - The Company has established nonqualified deferred compensation programs, which permit officers, directors and 
certain management employees annually to elect to defer a portion of their compensation, on a pre-tax basis, until their 
retirement.  The retirement benefit to be provided is based on the amount of compensation deferred, Company matching 
contributions and earnings on the deferrals.  In addition, the Company maintains a defined contribution nonqualified 
supplemental executive pension plan in which the Company is the only contributor.  During 2019, 2018 and 2017, the 
Company recorded expense relating to these programs of $5,916, $13,420 and $20,400, respectively.

The Company has invested in corporate-owned life insurance policies to assist in meeting the obligation under these programs.  
The policies are held in a rabbi trust and are recorded as assets of the Company.

Share Repurchases - The Company has a program to repurchase its common shares.  On October 22, 2014, the Board of 
Directors of the Company approved an increase in the overall number of shares authorized to repurchase under the program so 
that, beginning on such date, the aggregate number of shares authorized for repurchase was 35 million.  There is no limitation 
on the number of shares that can be repurchased in a year.  Repurchases may be funded primarily from operating cash flows 
and commercial paper borrowings and the shares are initially held as treasury shares.  The number of common shares 
repurchased at the average purchase price follows:

Stock Incentive Plans

The Company's 2016 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan provides for the granting of share-based incentive awards in the form of 
nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock units ("RSUs") and restricted and unrestricted 
stock to officers and key employees of the Company.  The aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2016 
Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan is 16 million.  At June 30, 2019, 8.7 million common shares were available for future issuance. 

The Company satisfies share-based incentive award obligations by issuing shares of common stock out of treasury, which have 
been repurchased pursuant to the Company's share repurchase program described in Note 12, or through the issuance of 
previously unissued common stock.

SARs -  Upon exercise, SARs entitle the participant to receive shares of common stock equal to the increase in value of the 
award between the grant date and the exercise date.  SARs are exercisable from one to three years after the date of grant and 
expire no more than 10 years after grant.

The fair value of each SAR award granted in 2019, 2018 and 2017 was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes 
option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate

Expected life of award

Expected dividend yield of stock
Expected volatility of stock

The risk-free interest rate was based on U.S. Treasury yields with a term similar to the expected life of the award.  The expected 
life of the award was derived by referring to actual exercise and post-vesting employment termination experience.  The 
expected dividend yield was based on the Company's historical dividend rate and stock price over a period similar to the 
expected life of the award.  The expected volatility of stock was derived by referring to changes in the Company's historical 
common stock prices over a time-frame similar to the expected life of the award.

During 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $26,568, $27,422 and $28,535, 
respectively, relating to SAR awards.  The Company derives a tax deduction measured by the excess of the market value over 
the grant price at the date stock-based awards are exercised.  The related income tax benefit was credited to income tax 
expense.

At June 30, 2019, $11,817 of expense with respect to nonvested SAR awards has yet to be recognized and will be amortized 
into expense over a weighted-average period of approximately 16 months.  The total fair value of shares vested during 2019, 
2018 and 2017 was $25,365, $26,461 and $33,094, respectively.

RSUs - RSUs constitute an agreement to deliver shares of common stock to the participant at the end of a vesting period.  
Generally, the RSUs granted to employees vest and the underlying stock is issued ratably over a three-year graded vesting 
period.  Nonvested RSUs may not be transferred and do not have dividend or voting rights.  For each nonvested RSU, 
recipients are entitled to receive a dividend equivalent, payable in cash or common shares, equal to the cash dividend per share 
paid to common shareholders.  

The fair value of each RSU award granted in 2019, 2018 and 2017 was based on the fair market value of the Company's 
common stock on the date of grant.  A summary of the status and changes of shares subject to RSU awards for employees and

During 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $25,258, $24,073 and $23,025 
respectively, relating to RSU awards for employees.  At June 30, 2019, $21,933 of expense with respect to nonvested RSU 
awards has yet to be recognized and will be amortized into expense over a weighted-average period of approximately 24 
months.  The total fair value of RSU awards vested during 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $20,475, $20,681 and $21,576, 
respectively.  The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $1,548, $2,451 and $939 relating to the issuance of common 
stock for RSU awards that vested during 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

During 2019, 2018 and 2017, 8,047, 9,900 and 12,430 RSU awards, respectively, with a one-year vesting period were granted 
to non-employee members of the Board of Directors.  Although nonvested shares do not have dividend or voting rights, 
recipients receive a dividend equivalent payable in common shares, equal to the cash dividend per share paid to common 
shareholders.  In 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1,345, $1,697, and 
$1,560, respectively, relating to these awards.  At June 30, 2019, $414 of expense with respect to 8,003 nonvested RSU awards 
granted to the Board of Directors has yet to be recognized and will be amortized into expense over a weighted-average period 
of approximately four months.  During 2019, 2018 and 2017 the Company recognized an income tax (cost) benefit of $(82), 
$270 and $105 respectively, related to the vesting of 9,889, 12,639 and $13,740 RSU awards, respectively, issued to the Board

LTIP - The Company's Long Term Incentive Plans ("LTIP") provide for the issuance of unrestricted stock to certain officers 
and key employees based on the attainment of certain goals relating to the Company's revenue growth, earnings per share 
growth and return on invested capital during the three-year performance period.

Under the Company's 2017-18-19 LTIP, a payout of unrestricted stock will be issued in April 2020.

The fair value of each LTIP award granted in 2019, 2018 and 2017 was based on the fair market value of the Company's 
common stock on the date of grant.  Beginning January 2019, the Company changed the terms of the LTIP plan allowing newly 
granted LTIP awards to earn a dividend equivalent unit payable in common shares, equal to the cash dividend per share paid to 
common shareholders.  These dividend equivalent units do not have dividend or voting rights and are subject to the same 
performance goals as the initial award granted.  Any nonvested LTIP awards granted prior to January 2019 will continue not 
earning dividends or dividend equivalent units.  A summary of the status and changes of shares relating to the LTIP and the 
related average price per share follows:

respectively, relating to the LTIP.  During 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $14,101, 
$3,893 and $1,701, respectively, relating to the LTIP.

Research and Development

Research and development costs amounted to $294,852 in 2019, $327,877 in 2018 and $336,675 in 2017.  These amounts 
include both costs incurred by the Company related to independent research and development initiatives as well as costs 
incurred in connection with research and development contracts.  Costs incurred in connection with research and development 
contracts amounted to $44,484 in 2019, $40,823 in 2018 and $65,292 in 2017.  These costs are included in the total research 
and development cost for each of the respective years.

15. 

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and other 
investments, accounts receivable and long-term investments as well as obligations under accounts payable, trade, notes payable 
and long-term debt.  Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, 
accounts payable, trade and notes payable approximate fair value.

Marketable securities and other investments include deposits, equity investments and available-for-sale debt securities.  
Deposits are recorded at cost, and equity investments and available-for-sale debt securities are recorded at fair value.  Changes 
in fair value related to available-for-sale debt securities are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss).  Upon the 
adoption of ASU 2016-01 on July 1, 2018, changes in fair value of equity investments are recognized in net income.  Prior to 
the adoption of ASU 2016-01, these changes in fair value were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive (loss). 

64

Gross unrealized gains and losses related to both equity investments and available-for-sale debt securities were not material as 
of June 30, 2019 and 2018.  There were no facts or circumstances that indicated the unrealized losses were other than 
temporary.

There were no investments in available-for-sale debt securities at June 30, 2019.  The contractual maturities of available-for-
sale investments were predominantly one to three years at June 30, 2018.  Actual maturities of available-for-sale investments 
may differ from their contractual maturities as the Company has the ability to liquidate the available-for-sale investments after 
giving appropriate notice to the issuer.

The carrying value of long-term debt and estimated fair value of long-term debt at June 30 are as follows:

The fair value of long-term debt is classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company utilizes derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, including forward exchange contracts, costless 
collar contracts, cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign denominated debt designated as net investment hedges, to 
manage foreign currency transaction and translation risk.  The derivative financial instrument contracts are with major 
investment grade financial institutions and the Company does not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the 
counterparties.  The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Company’s €700 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2025 have been designated as a hedge of the 
Company’s net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries.  The translation of the Senior Notes due 2025 into U.S. dollars is 
recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) and remains there until the underlying net investment is sold or 
substantially liquidated.

Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as either assets or liabilities and are 
measured at fair value.

The cross-currency swap, forward exchange contracts and costless collar contracts are reflected on a gross basis in the 
Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The Company has not entered into any master netting arrangements.

Gains or losses on derivatives that are not designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value through the cost of sales caption in the 
Consolidated Statement of Income.  Gains or losses on derivatives that are designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value 
through accumulated other comprehensive (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized in 
earnings.

The cross-currency swap contracts have been designated as hedging instruments.  The forward exchange and costless collar 
contracts have not been designated as hedging instruments and are considered to be economic hedges of forecasted 
transactions.

Gains or losses on derivative financial instruments that were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income during 2019, 
2018 and 2017 were not material.

The fair values of the equity securities, corporate bonds and asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are determined using 
the closing market price reported in the active market in which the fund is traded or the market price for similar assets that are 
traded in an active market. 

Derivatives consist of forward exchange, costless collar and cross-currency swap contracts, the fair values of which are 
calculated using market observable inputs including both spot and forward prices for the same underlying currencies.  The 
calculation of fair value of the cross-currency swap contracts also utilizes a present value cash flow model that has been 
adjusted to reflect the credit risk of either the Company or the counterparty.

Investments measured at net asset value primarily consist of investments in fixed income mutual funds, which are measured at 
fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient.  These investments have not been categorized in the fair value 
hierarchy.  The Company has the ability to liquidate these investments after giving appropriate notice to the issuer.

The primary investment objective for all investments is the preservation of principal and liquidity while earning income.

There are no other financial assets or financial liabilities that are marked to market on a recurring basis.

Contingencies

The Company is involved in various litigation matters arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings based on 
product liability claims, workers' compensation claims and alleged violations of various environmental laws.  The Company is 
self-insured in the United States for health care, workers' compensation, general liability and product liability up to 
predetermined amounts, above which third party insurance applies.  Management regularly reviews the probable outcome of 
these proceedings, the expenses expected to be incurred, the availability and limits of the insurance coverage and the 
established accruals for liabilities.  While the outcome of pending proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management 
believes that any liabilities that may result from these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

Environmental - The Company is currently responsible for environmental remediation at various manufacturing facilities 
presently or formerly operated by the Company and has been named as a “potentially responsible party,” along with other 
companies, at off-site waste disposal facilities and regional sites. 

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had an accrual of $16,070 for environmental matters, which are probable and reasonably 
estimable.  The accrual is recorded based upon the best estimate of costs to be incurred in light of the progress made in 
determining the magnitude of remediation costs, the timing and extent of remedial actions required by governmental authorities 
and the amount of the Company's liability in proportion to other responsible parties.  

The Company's estimated total liability for environmental matters ranges from a minimum of $16.1 million to a maximum of 
$80.1 million.  The largest range for any one site is approximately $8.2 million.  The actual costs to be incurred by the 
Company will be dependent on final determination of contamination and required remedial action, negotiations with 
governmental authorities with respect to cleanup levels, changes in regulatory requirements, innovations in investigatory and 
remedial technologies, effectiveness of remedial technologies employed, the ability of other responsible parties to pay, and any 
insurance or other third-party recoveries.

assessment, we used the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in

These non-GAAP measures are not measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to the U.S. 
GAAP measures.  Parker-Hannifin's calculation of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to the calculations of similarly titled measures 
reported by other companies.

Our purpose defines why we are in business,  
provides inspiration and direction for our team 
members, and highlights how we can strengthen our 
communities and have a positive impact on the world. 
It took more than a day for us to discover our purpose, 
but we will spend every day living up to it.

With Appreciation
