Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis Of Accounting | Curtiss-Wright Corporation along with its subsidiaries ("we," the "Corporation," or the "Company") is a global integrated business that provides highly engineered products, solutions, and services mainly to aerospace & defense (A&D) markets, as well as critical technologies in demanding commercial power, process, and industrial markets. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Curtiss-Wright and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. Management is required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant of these estimates includes the estimate of costs to complete using the over-time revenue recognition accounting method, pension plan and postretirement obligation assumptions, estimates for inventory obsolescence, fair value estimates around assets and assumed liabilities from acquisitions, estimates for the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets, legal reserves, and the estimate of future environmental costs. Changes in estimates of contract sales, costs, and profits are recognized using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. This method recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods. Accordingly, the effect of the changes on future periods of contract performance is recognized as if the revised estimate had been the original estimate. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there were no significant changes in estimated contract costs. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of the operating results for a full year.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires disclosure of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker ("CODM") and included within the Corporation's measure of segment profit or loss. ASU 2023-07 also requires that all disclosures around segment profit or loss and assets be provided on both an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2023-07 is required to be applied on a retrospective basis for all periods presented. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its financial statements, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
