Basis of Presentation | Note 1. Basis of presentation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Woodward, Inc. (“Woodward” or the “Company”) as of March 31, 2020 and for the three and six-months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, included herein, have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly Woodward’s financial position as of March 31, 2020, and the statements of earnings, comprehensive earnings, cash flows, and changes in stockholders’ equity for the periods presented herein. The results of operations for the three and six-months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year. Dollar and share amounts contained in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Woodward’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and other financial information filed with the SEC. Management is required to use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported revenues and expenses recognized during the reporting period, and certain financial statement disclosures, in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. Significant estimates in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include allowances for uncollectible amounts, net realizable value of inventories, variable consideration including customer rebates earned and payable and early payment discounts, warranty reserves, useful lives of property and identifiable intangible assets, the evaluation of impairments of property and goodwill, the provision for income tax and related valuation reserves, the valuation of derivative instruments, assumptions used in the determination of the funded status and annual expense of pension and postretirement employee benefit plans, the valuation of stock compensation instruments granted to employees, board members and any other eligible recipients, estimates of incremental borrowing rates used when estimating the present value of future lease payments, assumptions used when including renewal options or non-exercise of termination options in lease terms, estimates of total lifetime sales used in the recognition of revenue of deferred material rights and balance sheet classification of the related contract liability, estimates of total sales contract costs when recognizing revenue under the cost-to-cost method, and contingencies. Actual results could vary from Woodward’s estimates. In March 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") outbreak a global pandemic. When combined with the various measures enacted by governments and private organizations to contain COVID-19 or slow its spread, the pandemic has adversely impacted global activity and contributed to significant declines and volatility in financial markets. The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to have a material adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger an extended period of global economic slowdown. Although the Company has already been impacted by the global emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the full extent of its impact on the Company’s future business is currently unknown. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate material adverse impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, including impacts to estimates and assumptions used by management for the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Nevertheless, the outbreak presents uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company and its performance and financial results. See Note 24, Subsequent events, for specific actions taken by the Company related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
