Moog Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
Three Months Ended December 28, 2013
(Unaudited)
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of results for the interim period have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended December 28, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2013. All references to years in these financial statements are to fiscal years.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. The consolidated condensed statements of cash flows has been restated to classify previously reported provisions for non-cash losses along with the respective assets and liabilities.
Note 2 - Acquisitions and Divestitures
In 2013, we completed two business combinations. One of these business combinations was in our Space and Defense Controls segment. We acquired Broad Reach Engineering for $34,550 of cash consideration, issuance of $8,450 of notes payable and contingent consideration with an initial fair value of $3,447. Based in Colorado, Broad Reach Engineering is a leading designer and manufacturer of spaceflight electronics and software for aerospace, scientific, commercial and military missions. The company also provides ground testing, launch and on-orbit operations. We also completed one business combination in our Components segment. We acquired Aspen Motion Technologies, located in Radford, Virginia for $33,911 in cash. Aspen is a designer and manufacturer of high-performance permanent magnet brushless DC motors, integrated digital controls and motorized impellers for motors. Aspen also specializes in custom motor designs for end product integration in a variety of high-performance industrial applications.
In 2013, we completed one divestiture in our Medical Devices segment. We sold our Buffalo, New York operations of Ethox Medical for $5,000 in cash, plus a $200 note receivable.
The purchase price allocations for the 2013 acquisitions are substantially complete. Allocations for the 2013 acquisitions are subject to subsequent adjustment as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the respective measurement periods.
Note 3 - Receivables
We securitize certain trade receivables in transactions that are accounted for as secured borrowings (Securitization Program). We maintain a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables that are securitized. The retained interest, which is included in Receivables in the consolidated condensed balance sheets, is recorded at fair value, which approximates the total amount of the designated pool of accounts receivable. Refer to Note 6, Indebtedness, for additional disclosures related to the Securitization Program.

Note 4 - Inventories
Inventories, net of reserves, consist of:

|  | December 28, 2013 |  | September 28, 2013
Raw materials and purchased parts |  | $ | 195,271 |  |  | $ | 194,249 |
Work in progress |  | 292,691 |  |  | 289,124 |
Finished goods |  | 65,623 |  |  | 68,301 |
Inventories |  | $ | 553,585 |  |  | $ | 551,674 |

Note 5 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:

|  | Balance as of September 28, 2013 |  | Adjustment To Prior Year Acquisitions |  | Foreign Currency Translation |  | Balance as of December 28, 2013
Aircraft Controls |  | $ | 192,413 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 1,372 |  |  | $ | 193,785 |
Space and Defense Controls |  | 163,136 |  |  | (2,734 | ) |  | 208 |  |  | 160,610 |
Industrial Systems |  | 121,320 |  |  | — |  |  | 1,118 |  |  | 122,438 |
Components |  | 204,853 |  |  | — |  |  | (710 | ) |  | 204,143 |
Medical Devices |  | 85,202 |  |  | — |  |  | 190 |  |  | 85,392 |
Goodwill |  | $ | 766,924 |  |  | $ | (2,734 | ) |  | $ | 2,178 |  |  | $ | 766,368 |

Goodwill at September 28, 2013, in our Medical Devices reporting unit, is net of a $38,200 accumulated impairment loss. Certain factors, including industry conditions and the future profitability of our business might have a negative impact on the carrying value of our goodwill and we may incur additional goodwill impairment charges.
The components of acquired intangible assets are as follows:

|  |  |  | December 28, 2013 |  | September 28, 2013
|  | Weighted - Average Life (years) |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization
Customer-related |  | 10 |  | $ | 194,640 |  |  | $ | (101,765 | ) |  | $ | 193,744 |  |  | $ | (97,347 | )
Program-related |  | 18 |  | 80,964 |  |  | (20,610 | ) |  | 79,607 |  |  | (18,988 | )
Technology-related |  | 9 |  | 76,648 |  |  | (43,339 | ) |  | 76,558 |  |  | (42,000 | )
Marketing-related |  | 10 |  | 26,939 |  |  | (12,769 | ) |  | 33,259 |  |  | (18,476 | )
Acquired intangible assets |  | 12 |  | $ | 379,191 |  |  | $ | (178,483 | ) |  | $ | 383,168 |  |  | $ | (176,811 | )

All acquired intangible assets other than goodwill are being amortized. Customer-related intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships. Program-related intangible assets consist of long-term programs represented by current contracts and probable follow on work. Technology-related intangible assets primarily consist of technology, patents, intellectual property and software. Marketing-related intangible assets primarily consist of trademarks, trade names and non-compete agreements.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $7,563 for the three months ended December 28, 2013 and $7,741 for the three months ended December 29, 2012. Based on acquired intangible assets recorded at December 28, 2013, amortization is expected to be approximately $30,000 in 2014, $25,800 in 2015, $24,200 in 2016, $20,800 in 2017 and $19,000 in 2018.

Note 6 - Indebtedness
Short-term borrowings consist of:

|  | December 28, 2013 |  | September 28, 2013
Securitization program |  | $ | 99,400 |  |  | $ | 100,000 |
Lines of credit |  | 4,755 |  |  | 5,088 |
Short-term borrowings |  | $ | 104,155 |  |  | $ | 105,088 |

The Securitization Program matures on March 3, 2014 and effectively increases our borrowing capacity by up to $100,000. Under the Securitization Program, we sell certain trade receivables and related rights to an affiliate, which in turn sells an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the trade receivables to a financial institution, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. The Securitization Program can be extended by agreement of the parties thereto for successive 364-day terms. Interest for the Securitization Program is based on prevailing market rates for short-term commercial paper plus an applicable margin. A commitment fee is also charged based on a percentage of the unused amounts available and is not material. The agreement governing the Securitization Program contains restrictions and covenants which include limitations on the making of certain restricted payments, creation of certain liens, and certain corporate acts such as mergers, consolidations and sale of substantially all assets.
In addition to the Securitization Program, we maintain short-term credit facilities with banks throughout the world that are principally demand lines subject to revision by the banks.
On December 19, 2013, we repurchased our 7¼% senior subordinated notes due on January 15, 2018 at 103.625%, pursuant to an early redemption right. We redeemed the aggregate principal amount of $200,000 using proceeds drawn from our U.S. revolving credit facility. The associated loss on the redemption includes $6,945 of call premium paid to external bondholders and a $1,057 write off of deferred debt issuance costs.
On January 15, 2013, we repurchased at par our 6¼% senior subordinated notes due on January 15, 2015, pursuant to an early redemption right. We redeemed the aggregate principal amount of $200,000 using proceeds drawn from our U.S. revolving credit facility.
Note 7 - Product Warranties
In the ordinary course of business, we warrant our products against defects in design, materials and workmanship typically over periods ranging from twelve to sixty months. We determine warranty reserves needed by product line based on historical experience and current facts and circumstances. Activity in the warranty accrual is summarized as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended
|  | December 28, 2013 |  | December 29, 2012
Warranty accrual at beginning of period |  | $ | 17,429 |  |  | $ | 18,859 |
Warranties issued during current period |  | 1,787 |  |  | 2,040 |
Adjustments to pre-existing warranties |  | (599 | ) |  | (566 | )
Reductions for settling warranties |  | (1,380 | ) |  | (2,321 | )
Foreign currency translation |  | 132 |  |  | 28 |
Warranty accrual at end of period |  | $ | 17,369 |  |  | $ | 18,040 |

Note 8 - Derivative Financial Instruments
We principally use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign exchange risk related to foreign operations and foreign currency transactions and interest rate risk associated with long-term debt. We enter into derivative financial instruments with a number of major financial institutions to minimize counterparty credit risk.
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments
Interest rate swaps are used to adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable and fixed interest rates. The interest rate swaps are designated as hedges of the amount of future cash flows related to interest payments on variable-rate debt that, in combination with the interest payments on the debt, convert a portion of the variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. At December 28, 2013, we had interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $120,000. The interest rate swaps effectively convert this amount of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt at 1.8%, including the applicable margin of 138 basis points as of December 28, 2013. The interest will revert back to variable rates based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin upon the maturity of the interest rate swaps on January 15, 2015 and January 15, 2016.
We use foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges to effectively fix the exchange rates on future payments and revenue. To mitigate exposure in movements between various currencies, primarily the Philippine peso, we had outstanding foreign currency forwards with notional amounts of $50,541 at December 28, 2013. These contracts mature at various times through December 23, 2015.
These interest rate swaps and foreign currency forwards are recorded in the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value and the related gains or losses are deferred in shareholders’ equity as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCI). These deferred gains and losses are reclassified into expense during the periods in which the related payments or receipts affect earnings. However, to the extent the interest rate swaps and foreign currency forwards are not perfectly effective in offsetting the change in the value of the payments and revenue being hedged, the ineffective portion of these contracts is recognized in earnings immediately. Ineffectiveness was not material in the first three months of 2014 or 2013.
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
We also have foreign currency exposure on balances, primarily intercompany, that are denominated in foreign currencies and are adjusted to current values using period-end exchange rates. The resulting gains or losses are recorded in the consolidated condensed statements of earnings. To minimize foreign currency exposure, we had foreign currency forwards with notional amounts of $224,092 at December 28, 2013. The foreign currency forwards are recorded in the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value and resulting gains or losses are recorded in the consolidated condensed statements of earnings. We recorded the following gains or losses on foreign currency forwards which are included in other income or expense and generally offset the gains or losses from the foreign currency adjustments on the intercompany balances that are also included in other income or expense:

|  | Three Months Ended
|  | December 28, 2013 |  | December 29, 2012
Net gain |  | $ | 940 |  |  | $ | 922 |

Note 9 - Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. The definition of the fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.
Level 3 – Inputs for which significant valuation assumptions are unobservable in a market and therefore value is based on the best available data, some of which is internally developed and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.
Our derivatives are valued using various pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses that incorporate observable market data, such as interest rate yield curves and currency rates, and are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. Our Level 3 fair value liabilities represent contingent consideration recorded for acquisitions to be paid if various financial targets are met. The amounts recorded were calculated for each payment scenario in each period using an estimate of the probability of the future cash outflows. The varying contingent payments were then discounted to the present value at the weighted average cost of capital. Fair value is assessed on a quarterly basis, or whenever events or circumstances change that indicates an adjustment is required. The assessment includes an evaluation of the performance of the acquired business compared to previous expectations, changes to future projections and the probability of achieving the earn out targets.
The following table presents the fair values and classification of our financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis as of December 28, 2013:

|  | Classification | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Total
Foreign currency forwards |  | Other current assets | $ | — |  |  | $ | 480 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 480 |

Note 17 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." The amendments require companies to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated comprehensive income by component. The amendments also require the presentation of the significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated comprehensive income by line items of net income, if the amount is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period, either on the face of the financial statements or in the related footnotes. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, a company is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted this amendment in the first quarter of 2014. Other than modifying our disclosures, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2013. All references to years in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are to fiscal years and amounts may differ from reported values due to rounding.
OVERVIEW
We are a worldwide designer, manufacturer and systems integrator of high performance precision motion and fluid controls and control systems for a broad range of applications in aerospace and defense and industrial markets.
Within the aerospace and defense market, our products and systems include:
military and commercial aircraft flight controls, satellite positioning controls, controls for gun aiming, stabilization and automatic ammunition loading for armored combat vehicles, thrust vector controls for space launch vehicles and controls for steering tactical and strategic missiles.
In the industrial market, our products are used in a wide range of applications including:
injection molding machines, metal forming, heavy industry, material and automotive testing, pilot training simulators, motors used in sleep apnea devices, enteral clinical nutrition and infusion therapy pumps, oil exploration, wind energy, power generation, surveillance systems and slip rings used on CT scanners.
We operate under five segments, Aircraft Controls, Space and Defense Controls, Industrial Systems, Components and Medical Devices. Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, United Kingdom, Philippines, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, China, Costa Rica, Japan, Luxembourg, India, Canada and Ireland.
We have long-term contracts with some of our customers. These contracts are predominantly within Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls and represent 33% of our 2013 sales. We recognize revenue on these contracts using the percentage of completion, cost-to-cost method of accounting as work progresses toward completion. The remainder of our sales are recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership and title to the product are transferred to the customer, principally as units are delivered or as service obligations are satisfied. This method of revenue recognition is predominantly used within the Industrial Systems, Components and Medical Devices segments, as well as with aftermarket activity.
We concentrate on providing our customers with products designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards. Our products are applied in demanding applications, where performance really matters. In achieving a leadership position in the high performance, precision controls market, we have capitalized on our strengths, which include:

• | superior technical competence,

• | customer diversity and broad product portfolio, and

• | well-established international presence serving customers worldwide.

These strengths afford us the ability to innovate our current solutions into new, complimentary technologies, providing us the opportunity to advance our products from one market to another. In addition, we aim to provide more systems solutions for the platforms on which we currently participate while strengthening the current niche market positions that we serve. These activities will help us achieve our financial objectives of increasing our revenue base and improving our long term profitability and cash flow from operations. In doing so, we expect to maintain a balanced, diversified portfolio in terms of markets served, product applications, customer base and geographic presence. Our fundamental strategies to achieve our objectives include:

• | maintaining our technological excellence by building upon our systems integration capabilities while solving our customers’ most demanding technical problems, in applications where performance really matters,

• | striving for organic growth as well as cost improvements,

• | utilizing our global capabilities,

• | developing products for new and emerging markets,

• | growing our profitable aftermarket business, and

• | capitalizing on strategic acquisitions and opportunities.

17

We face numerous challenges to improve shareholder value. These include, but are not limited to, adjusting to dynamic global economic conditions that are influenced by governmental, industrial and commercial factors, pricing pressures from customers, strong competition, foreign currency fluctuations and increases in employee benefit costs. We address these challenges by focusing on strategic revenue growth, by continuing to improve operating efficiencies through various process and manufacturing initiatives and using low cost manufacturing facilities without compromising quality. Based on periodic strategic reviews, including the financial outlook of our business, we may also engage in restructuring activities, including reducing overhead, consolidating facilities and exiting some product lines.
Acquisitions and Divestitures
All of our acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method and, accordingly, the operating results for the acquired companies are included in the consolidated statements of earnings from the respective dates of acquisition. Under purchase accounting, we record assets and liabilities at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. The purchase price described for each acquisition below is net of any cash acquired, includes debt issued or assumed and the fair value of contingent consideration.
In 2013, we completed two business combinations. One of these business combinations was in our Space and Defense Controls segment. We acquired Broad Reach Engineering for $46 million. Based in Colorado, Broad Reach Engineering is a leading designer and manufacturer of spaceflight electronics and software for aerospace, scientific, commercial and military missions. The company also provides ground testing, launch and on-orbit operations. We also completed one business combination in our Components segment. We acquired Aspen Motion Technologies, located in Radford, Virginia, for $34 million. Aspen is a designer and manufacturer of high-performance permanent magnet brushless DC motors, integrated digital controls and motorized impellers for motors. Aspen also specializes in custom motor designs for end product integration and significant product enhancement in a variety of high-performance industrial applications.
In 2013, we completed one divestiture in our Medical Devices segment. We sold our Buffalo, New York operations of Ethox Medical for $5 million.
Also in 2013, we began exploring strategic options for the Medical Devices segment, including the possibility of selling the entire segment. We are still in that assessment process.
Reviews for Impairment of Goodwill
We tested goodwill of our Medical Devices reporting unit for impairment in the fourth quarter of 2013 as part of our annual test. Our test resulted in a fair value of our Medical Devices reporting unit that was less than its carrying amount, requiring us to measure goodwill for impairment. We determined the implied fair value of goodwill, and recognized a $38 million goodwill impairment charge in our fourth quarter of 2013 for the excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over its implied fair value.
We performed an interim test on goodwill for impairment of our Medical Devices reporting unit in the first quarter of 2014. We performed a quantitative assessment for this reporting unit, which had $85 million of goodwill as of the date of our test. Based on this test, the fair value of our Medical Devices reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. Therefore, goodwill was not impaired.
The fair value of our Medical Devices reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount by 1%. The determination of each of our assumptions is subjective and requires significant estimates. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the results of our impairment review. If cash flows generated by our Medical Devices reporting unit were to decline in the future or there were negative revisions to key assumptions, we may be required to record impairment charges.
18

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the critical accounting policies used to prepare our consolidated financial statements, including, but not limited to, revenue recognition on long-term contracts, contract loss reserves, reserves for inventory valuation, reviews for impairment of goodwill, purchase price allocations for business combinations, pension assumptions and deferred tax asset valuation allowances.
There have been no material changes in critical accounting policies in the current year from those disclosed in our 2013 Form 10-K.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, "Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Group of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity." This ASU is intended to eliminate diversity in practice on the release of cumulative translation adjustments into net income when a parent either sells part or all of its investment in a foreign entity, or when it no longer holds a controlling financial interest. In addition, the amendments resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages involving a foreign entity. The provisions of this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those fiscal years. This amendment is applicable to us beginning in the first quarter of 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Gross margin in the first quarter of 2014 remained at the same level as the first quarter of 2013. We had stronger gross margins in Medical, Industrial Systems and Aircraft Controls, but were offset by gross margin declines in Components and Space and Defense Controls.
Research and development expenses increased in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same time period in 2013 due mainly to Aircraft Control's increased activities on the Embraer E-Jets and Airbus A350 programs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales in the first quarter of 2014 declined in Medical, Industrial Systems and Space and Defense Controls when compared to the first quarter of 2013. The first quarter of 2013 contained higher levels of professional services, while the first quarter of 2014 reflects the benefits from our restructuring activities completed in Space and Defense Controls and Industrial Systems.
Interest expense decreased in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same time period in 2013 due mostly to the early redemption of our 6¼% senior subordinated notes on January 15, 2013. We redeemed these notes at par.
On December 19th, 2013, we repurchased our 7¼% senior subordinated notes due on January 15th, 2018. In doing so, we incurred a 3.625% call premium in the first quarter of 2014.
Other expense in the first quarter of 2014 is mostly due to a $4 million write-down of a technology investment in Industrial Systems. Other income in the first quarter of 2013 is primarily related to recording income in our Components segment related to a reversal of an earn out accrual for an acquisition.
2014 Outlook – We expect sales in 2014 to increase 1% to $2.63 billion, with growth in Space and Defense Controls and Components. We expect flat sales in Aircraft Controls as softness from our military sales offsets commercial sales growth. We expect sales declines in Medical Devices due to the divestiture of the Buffalo, New York Ethox Medical operations. We also expect sales declines in Industrial Systems due to continued softness in our key markets. We expect an increase in profitability as our operating margin increases to 11.6% with higher margins in each of our segments except for Components. We expect net earnings to increase to $169 million, and diluted earnings per share to increase to $3.65.

Aircraft Controls' sales increased in our commercial market while sales decreased in our military market in the first quarter of 2014 when compared to the same time period in 2013.
Within commercial aircraft, OEM sales to Boeing increased $16 million and OEM sales to Airbus increased $6 million due in part to new program ramps as well as volume increases. Partially offsetting this growth are military sales declines. Military aftermarket sales decreased $7 million and F-35 decreased $4 million as the development phase winds down.
Operating margin declined slightly in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013. An increase in research and development costs associated with the start of development for the Embraer E-Jets was offset by additional profit from incremental sales.
The increase of twelve-month backlog for Aircraft Controls at December 28, 2013 compared to December 29, 2012 is related to increases in commercial orders and is slightly offset by declines in various legacy military programs.
2014 Outlook for Aircraft Controls – We expect sales in Aircraft Controls to remain flat at $1.06 billion in 2014. Commercial aircraft is expected to increase 10% to $509 million due to stronger sales across our major OEM programs. Partially offsetting this growth is an expected 8% decline in military aircraft sales to $548 million. We expect a decline in military aftermarket sales, reflecting our estimate of continued lower levels of defense spending. We also expect a decline in military OEM sales as F-35 development and V-22 production rates moderate. We expect our operating margin to increase slightly to 12.1% in 2014 from 12.0% in 2013 as incremental margins on increased commercial sales are largely offset by increases in research and development costs.

Backlog | $ | 284.9 |  |  | $ | 242.2 |  |  | $ | 42.7 |  |  | 18 | %

Space and Defense Controls' sales increased in the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to an acquisition in the space market.
Within our space market for the first quarter of 2014, sales increased $10 million, $9 million of which came from incremental sales from the acquisition of Broad Reach Engineering. Additionally, sales in the security market increased $2 million and defense market sales increased $1 million on higher foreign military sales for military vehicles.
Operating margin declined in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same time period of 2013. This decline is due in part to increased program costs in a recent space acquisition. Slightly offsetting the charges were lower selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales, as well as lower research and development expenses.
The increased level in twelve-month backlog at December 28, 2013 is mainly due to acquisitions in the past year, as well as increased orders in our space market.
2014 Outlook for Space and Defense Controls – We expect sales in Space and Defense Controls to increase 6% to $420 million in 2014. We expect more than half of the increase to come from the benefit of a full year of the Broad Reach Engineering acquisition. We also expect defense sales to increase partly due to foreign opportunities on a missile defense system. We expect our operating margin to increase to 9.1% in 2014 from 6.4%, or 7.7% excluding restructuring, in 2013.

Backlog | $ | 195.1 |  |  | $ | 208.6 |  |  | $ | (13.5 | ) |  | (6 | %)

Industrial Systems' sales declined in the first quarter of 2014 when compared to the first quarter of 2013.
Within our industrial automation market, sales declined $2 million primarily due to steel mill customers. Within our energy market, sales declined $2 million as well, mainly due to a decline in wind sales in China.
Operating margin increased in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same time period as 2013. The first quarter of 2014's results included a $4 million technology investment write-down. Excluding this expense, the first quarter of 2014's operating profit would have been $16 million, or 11.3% of sales. The remaining improvement reflects the benefit of our restructuring activities completed throughout 2013. Additionally, the first quarter of 2013 contained higher level of professional services not repeated in 2014.
The twelve-month backlog for Industrial Systems at December 28, 2013 decreased as compared to December 29, 2012, due to both declines in foreign currency rates as well as declining orders from our simulation and test market.
2014 Outlook for Industrial Systems – We expect sales in Industrial Systems to decline 3% to $575 million in 2014. While we expect sales in energy to remain flat, we expect sales declines in our simulation and test market as a few large customers adjust their inventory levels down. We also expect sales declines in our industrial automation market. We expect that our operating margin will increase to 11.3% in 2014 from 7.1% in 2013, as we continue to benefit from our 2013 restructuring activities.

Backlog | $ | 170.9 |  |  | $ | 163.8 |  |  | $ | 7.1 |  |  | 4 | %

Components' sales increased in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013, due to our recent acquisition of Aspen Motion Technologies.
In our non-aerospace and defense market, sales increased $4 million in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the same time period last year. This increase includes $9 million of incremental sales from our Aspen Motion Technologies acquisition. This increase was offset by a $5 million marine sales decline in our energy market. In the first quarter of 2013, we had strong deliveries of large slip rings used on off-shore oil storage vessels. Also, in the first quarter of 2014, a large marine customer pushed out orders as they adjusted their inventory levels. In our aerospace and defense market, sales were relatively flat as improved missile sales were offset by a decline in defense vehicle products.
Operating margin decreased in the first quarter of 2014 as a result of strong marine sales in our energy market in the first quarter of 2013. Additionally in the first quarter of 2013, we benefited from a $2 million reversal of an earn out accrual related to an acquisition.
The twelve-month backlog at December 28, 2013 compared to December 29, 2012 increased primarily related to the Aspen acquisition.
2014 Outlook for Components – We expect sales to increase 5% to $438 million in 2014 with more than half of the sales growth coming from our Aspen Motion Technologies acquisition in our non-aerospace and defense market. We expect medical imaging sales in our medical market to increase as well. Slightly offsetting this growth is an expected sales decrease in our aerospace and defense markets, as sales on military vehicles continue to decline. We expect our operating margin will moderate to 14.7% in 2014 from 16.5% in 2013, reflecting a slightly less favorable mix of sales.

Backlog | $ | 14.8 |  |  | $ | 21.2 |  |  | $ | (6.4 | ) |  | (30 | %)

Medical Devices' sales decreased in the first quarter of 2014 when compared to the first quarter of 2013, due primarily to the divestiture of the Buffalo, New York Ethox Medical operations.
In the first quarter of 2013, we benefited from $3 million i n Buffalo, New York Ethox Medical sales that did not repeat in 2014 due to the divestiture of that operation in June 2013. The remaining sales in Medical Devices were relatively flat as pump sales increased $2 million due to increased volume, but were offset by lower set sales.
Operating margin the first quarter of 2014 increased compared to the first quarter of 2013. The divestiture of the Buffalo, New York Ethox Medical operation in June 2013 was primarily responsible for the increased operating margin in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013. Additional cost containment activities and reductions in freight expense also helped to drive operating margin higher.
Twelve-month backlog for Medical Devices is not as substantial relative to sales as compared to our other segments, reflecting the shorter order-to-shipment cycle for this line of business.
2014 Outlook for Medical Devices – We expect sales in 2014 to decrease slightly to $137 million. We expect that
lost sales from the Buffalo, New York Ethox Medical divestiture and lower enteral set sales will be offset by sales growth in IV pumps. We expect our operating margin to improve to 7.1% in 2014 from 6.4% in 2013 excluding the charges from goodwill impairment and the divestiture.

Financing activities | (18.7 | ) |  | (3.5 | ) |  | (15.2 | ) |  | 429 | %

Our available borrowing capacity and our cash flow from operations provide us with the financial resources needed to run our operations, reinvest in our business and make strategic acquisitions.
At December 28, 2013, our cash balance was $180 million, which is primarily held outside of the U.S. Cash flow from our U.S. operations, together with borrowings on our credit facility, fund on-going activities, debt service requirements and future growth investments. We reinvest the cash generated from foreign operations locally and such international balances are not available to pay down debt in the U.S. unless we decide to repatriate such amounts. If we decide to repatriate foreign funds, we would then be required to pay U.S. income taxes on those funds.
Operating activities
Cash provided by operating activities increased in the first three months of 2014 compared to the first three months of 2013. The decline in our accounts receivables was the primary driver due to stronger collections from last quarter's invoicing, primarily in our Space and Defense Controls and Medical Devices segments.
Investing activities
Cash used by investing activities for the first three months of 2014 includes $20 million used for capital expenditures and $9 million used to redeem our 7¼% senior subordinated notes that were invested in our supplementary retirement plan. Cash used by investing activities in the first three months of 2013 includes $22 million used for capital expenditures.
We expect our 2014 capital expenditures to be approximately $105 million.
Financing activities
The cash used by financing activities for the first three months of 2014 includes the use of our credit facility borrowings to fund the redemption of our 7¼% senior subordinated notes, as well as a $7 million redemption call premium.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any material off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
Our contractual obligations and commercial commitments have not changed materially from the disclosures in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, with the exception of the redemption of our 7¼% senior subordinated notes, which was completed on December 19, 2013.
26

CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND RESOURCES
We maintain bank credit facilities to fund our short and long-term capital requirements, including for acquisitions. From time to time, we also sell equity and debt securities to fund acquisitions or take advantage of favorable market conditions.
On December 19, 2013, we repurchased our 7¼% senior subordinated notes due on January 15, 2018 at 103.625%, pursuant to an early redemption right. We redeemed the aggregate principal amount of $200 million using proceeds drawn from our U.S. revolving credit facility.
On January 15, 2013, we repurchased our 6¼% senior subordinated notes due on January 15, 2015 at par, pursuant to an early redemption right. We redeemed the aggregate principal amount of $200 million using proceeds drawn from our U.S. revolving credit facility.
Our largest credit facility is our U.S. revolving credit facility, which matures on March 28, 2018. It consists of a $900 million revolver and had an outstanding balance of $586 million at December 28, 2013. Interest on the majority of the outstanding credit facility borrowings is based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which was 138 basis points at December 28, 2013 and will decrease to 113 basis points during the second quarter of 2014. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets.
The U.S. revolving credit facility contains various covenants. The covenant for minimum interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of EBITDA to interest expense for the most recent four quarters, is 3.0. The covenant for the maximum leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of net debt, including letters of credit, to EBITDA for the most recent four quarters, is 3.5. The covenant for maximum capital expenditures is $165 million for 2014 and increases by $10 million each year thereafter. We are in compliance with all covenants. EBITDA is defined in the loan agreement as (i) the sum of net income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, other non-cash items reducing consolidated net income and non-cash equity-based compensation expenses minus (ii) other non-cash items increasing consolidated net income.
We are generally not required to obtain the consent of lenders of the U.S. revolving credit facility before raising significant additional debt financing; however, certain limitations and conditions may apply that would require consent to be obtained. In recent years, we have demonstrated our ability to secure consents to access debt markets. We have also been successful in accessing equity markets from time to time. We believe that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing as needed.
At December 28, 2013, we had $315 million of unused borrowing capacity, including $300 million from the U.S. revolving credit facility after considering standby letters of credit.
We have a trade receivables securitization facility (the "Securitization Program"), which terminates on March 3, 2014. Under the Securitization Program, we sell certain trade receivables and related rights to an affiliate, which in turn sells an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the trade receivables to a financial institution, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. The Securitization Program can be extended by agreement of the parties thereto for successive 364-day terms. The Securitization Program effectively increases our borrowing capacity by up to $100 million and lowers our cost to borrow funds as compared to the U.S. revolving credit facility. We had an outstanding balance of $99 million at December 28, 2013. The Securitization Program reduced the amount outstanding under our U.S. revolving credit facility and increased the amount of short-term borrowings. Interest on the secured borrowings under the Securitization Program was 82 basis points at December 28, 2013 and is based on prevailing market rates for short-term commercial paper plus an applicable margin.
Net debt to capitalization was 25% at December 28, 2013 and 26% at September 28, 2013. The decrease in net debt to capitalization is primarily due to our positive cash flow and net earnings in the first three months of 2014.
We believe that our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available borrowings under short and long-term arrangements will continue to be sufficient to meet our operating needs.
On January 24, 2014, the Board of Directors amended our share repurchase program. The program includes both Class A and Class B common shares, and allows us to buy up to an aggregate four million common shares, approximately 9% of all common shares outstanding, at management's discretion.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND MARKET TRENDS
We operate within the aerospace and defense and industrial markets. Our aerospace and defense markets are affected by market conditions and program funding levels, while our industrial markets are influenced by general capital investment trends and economic conditions. A common factor throughout our markets is the continuing demand for technologically advanced products.
Aerospace and Defense
Approximately 61% of our 2013 sales were generated in aerospace and defense markets. Within aerospace and defense, we serve three end markets: defense, commercial aircraft and space.
The defense market is dependent on military spending for development and production programs. Aircraft production programs are typically long-term in nature, offering predictability as to capacity needs and future revenues. We maintain positions on numerous high priority programs, including the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and V-22 Osprey. The large installed base of our products leads to attractive aftermarket sales and service opportunities. The tactical missile, missile defense and defense controls markets are dependent on many of the same market conditions as military aircraft, including overall military spending and program funding levels. Our homeland security product line is dependent on government funding at federal and local levels, as well as private sector demand.
Additional cuts to the U.S. Department of Defense's mandatory and discretionary budgeted spending, which became effective on March 1, 2013, resulting from the 2011 Budget Control Act, will have ramifications for the aerospace and defense market. The Budget Control Act provides that cuts of approximately $500 billion over the next decade (which is generally referred to as sequestration) are uniform by category for programs, projects and activities within accounts. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, passed and signed into law in January 2014, provides some opportunities to lessen the effects of sequestration. Although federal agencies have received guidance from the Office of Management and Budget of how to implement the new spending parameters of sequestration, at this time, we do not have material information from our defense customers that would allow us to reliably estimate the impact of sequestration or the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013. We believe that our military aftermarket sales remain likely to be most affected. Currently, we have approximately $650 million in U.S. defense sales forecasted for 2014.
Global demand for air travel generally follows economic growth and, therefore, the commercial aircraft market has historically exhibited cyclical swings. The aftermarket is driven by usage of the existing aircraft fleet and the age of the installed fleet, and is impacted by fleet re-sizing programs for passenger and cargo aircraft. Changes in aircraft utilization rates affect the need for maintenance and spare parts and impact aftermarket sales. Boeing and Airbus have historically adjusted production in line with air traffic volume. Demand for our commercial aircraft products is in large part dependent on new aircraft production, which is increasing as Boeing and Airbus work to fulfill large backlogs of unfilled orders.
The commercial space market is comprised of large satellite customers, traditionally communications companies. Trends for this market, as well as for commercial launch vehicles, follow demand for increased capacity, satellite replacement and global navigation. The space market is also partially dependent on the governmental authorized levels of funding for satellite communications.
Industrial
Approximately 39% of our 2013 sales were generated in industrial markets. Within industrial, we serve three end markets: industrial automation, energy and medical.
The industrial automation market we serve is influenced by several factors including capital investment, product innovation, economic growth, cost-reduction efforts and technology upgrades. We experience challenges from the need to react to the demands of our customers, who are in large part sensitive to international and domestic economies.
The energy market is in part affected by changing oil and natural gas prices, global urbanization and the resulting increase in demand for global energy. Drivers for global growth include investments in power generation infrastructure, including renewable energy, and exploration for new resource reservoirs.
28

The medical market we serve is influenced by economic conditions, regulatory environments, hospital and outpatient clinic spending on equipment, population demographics, medical advances, patient demands and the need for precision control components and systems. Advances in medical technology and medical treatments have had the effect of extending the average life span of people, in turn resulting in greater need for medical services. These same technology and treatment advances also drive increased demand from the general population as a means to improve quality of life. Access to medical insurance, whether through government funded health care plans or private insurance, also affects the demand for medical services.
Foreign Currencies
We are affected by the movement of foreign currencies compared to the U.S. dollar, particularly in our Industrial Systems segment. About one-third of our 2013 sales were denominated in foreign currencies. The translation of the results of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars did not have a significant impact on our sales in the first three months of 2014 compared to the same period one year ago.
