PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts or as otherwise noted)
As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "Company", "Parker", "we" or "us" refer to Parker-Hannifin Corporation and its subsidiaries.
1. Management representation
In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of December 31, 2022, the results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and cash flows for the six months then ended. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The future impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war and the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and their residual effects, including economic uncertainty, inflationary environment and disruption within the global supply chain, labor markets and aerospace industry, on our business remain uncertain. Therefore, accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time in response to these impacts. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
Reclassification
Certain prior-year amounts in the Consolidated Statement of Income have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation. Effective July 1, 2022, we began classifying certain expenses, previously classified as cost of sales, as selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") or within other (income) expense, net. During the integration of recently acquired businesses, the Company has seen diversity in practice of the classification of certain expenses, and the reclassification was made to better align the presentation of expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Income with management’s internal reporting. The expenses reclassified from cost of sales to SG&A relate to certain administrative activities conducted in production facilities and research and development. Foreign currency transaction expense was also reclassified from cost of sales to other (income) expense, net on the Consolidated Statement of Income. These reclassifications had no impact on net income, earnings per share, cash flows, segment reporting or the financial position of the Company.
During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the reclassifications resulted in a $197 million decrease to cost of sales, a $205 million increase to SG&A and a $8 million decrease to other (income) expense, net. During the six months ended December 31, 2021, the reclassifications resulted in a $407 million decrease to cost of sales, a $424 million increase to SG&A and a $17 million decrease to other (income) expense, net.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events that occurred through the date these financial statements were issued. No subsequent events have occurred that required adjustment to or disclosure in these financial statements.
2. New accounting pronouncements
In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-10, "Government Assistance (Topic 832), Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance", which requires entities to provide disclosures on material government assistance transactions for annual reporting periods. The disclosures include information around the nature of the assistance, the related accounting policies used to account for government assistance, the effect of government assistance on the entity’s financial statements, and any significant terms and conditions of the agreements, including commitments and contingencies. The new guidance is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021; however, early adoption is permitted. The guidance may be applied either prospectively to all in-scope transactions that are reflected in the financial statements at the date of initial application and to new transactions that are entered into after the date of initial application, or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and does not expect it to be material.
- 6 -
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, "Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations", which requires a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose information about the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. To achieve that objective, the buyer should disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its supplier finance programs, including the outstanding amount under the program, the balance sheet presentation of the outstanding amount, and a rollforward of the obligations in the program. This ASU should be adopted retrospectively for each balance sheet period presented; however, the rollforward information should be provided prospectively. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and does not expect it to be material.
3. 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.

Upon completing the acquisition ("Acquisition") of Meggitt plc ("Meggitt"), we reviewed the disaggregation of revenue disclosure for the Aerospace Systems Segment and believe that disaggregation by primary market provides more meaningful information than disaggregation by product platform.

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:

June 30, 2022
Contract assets, current (included within Prepaid expenses and other)

Net contract liabilities
$
(197,356)
$
(33,357)
Net contract liabilities at December 31, 2022 increased from the June 30, 2022 amount primarily due to acquiring Meggitt's contract liabilities in excess of Meggitt's contract assets. During the six months ended December 31, 2022, approximately $29 million of revenue was recognized that was included in the contract liabilities at June 30, 2022.
Remaining performance obligations
Our 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. We believe our backlog represents our unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations. Backlog at December 31, 2022 was $10.6 billion, of which approximately 84 percent is expected to be recognized as revenue within the next 12 months and the balance thereafter.
4. Acquisitions and divestitures
Acquisitions
On September 12, 2022, we completed the Acquisition of all the outstanding ordinary shares of Meggitt for 800 pence per share, resulting in an aggregate cash purchase price of $7.2 billion, including the assumption of debt.
Meggitt is a leader in design, manufacturing and aftermarket support of technologically differentiated systems and equipment in aerospace, defense and selected energy markets with annual sales of approximately $2.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021. For segment reporting purposes, approximately 82 percent of Meggitt's sales are included in the Aerospace Systems Segment, while the remaining 18 percent are included in the Diversified Industrial Segment.
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are 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. The following table presents the preliminary estimated fair values of Meggitt's assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the Acquisition date. These preliminary estimates are based on available information and will be revised during the measurement period, not to exceed 12 months from the Acquisition date, as third-party valuations are finalized, additional information becomes available and as additional analysis is performed. Such revisions may have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position within the measurement period. During the current-year quarter and six months ended December 31, 2022, these revisions did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired and represents cost synergies and enhancements to our existing technologies. For tax purposes, Meggitt's goodwill is not deductible. Based upon a preliminary acquisition valuation, we acquired $3.2 billion of customer-related intangible assets, $1.7 billion of patents and technology and $490 million of trademarks, each with estimated useful lives of 20 years.
The fair value of the assets acquired includes $161 million and $76 million of operating lease right-of-use assets and finance lease right-of-use assets, respectively. The fair value of liabilities assumed includes $150 million and $87 million of operating lease liabilities and finance lease liabilities, respectively, of which, $17 million and $2 million of operating lease liabilities and finance lease liabilities, respectively, are current liabilities.
Long-term debt assumed includes $900 million aggregate principal amount of private placement notes with fixed interest rates ranging from 2.78 percent to 3.60 percent, and maturity dates ranging from July 2023 to July 2026. In October 2022, we paid off $300 million aggregate principal amount of private placement notes in two tranches pursuant to an offer to noteholders according to change in control provisions. These notes carried fixed interest rates of 2.78 percent and 3.00 percent and had maturity dates of November 2023 and November 2025, respectively. Upon acquiring Meggitt, we also assumed $113 million of liabilities associated with environmental matters.
Our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 include the results of operations of Meggitt from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2022. Net sales and segment operating loss attributable to Meggitt during the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $629 million and $89 million, respectively. Net sales and segment operating loss attributable to Meggitt during the six months ended December 31, 2022 was $772 million and $116 million, respectively. Segment operating loss attributable to Meggitt includes estimated amortization and depreciation expense associated with the preliminary fair value estimates of intangible assets, plant and equipment, and inventory, as well as acquisition integration charges. Refer to Note 10 for further discussion of acquisition integration charges.
Acquisition-related transaction costs totaled $111 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022. These costs are included in SG&A in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Divestitures
During September 2022, we divested our aircraft wheel and brake business, which was part of the Aerospace Systems Segment, for proceeds of $441 million. The resulting pre-tax gain of $373 million is included in other (income) expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The operating results and net assets of the aircraft wheel and brake business were immaterial to the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial position. As of June 30, 2022, the aggregate carrying amount of aircraft wheel and brake assets held for sale was $66 million. These assets primarily included goodwill and inventory and were recorded within prepaid expenses and other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Goodwill was allocated to the aircraft wheel and brake business using the relative fair value method.
Restricted Cash
At June 30, 2022, prepaid expenses and other in the Consolidated Balance Sheet included a $6.1 billion balance in an escrow account restricted to payments for the Acquisition. These funds were used to finance a portion of the Acquisition, and there was no restricted cash at December 31, 2022.

6. Share repurchase program
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 for 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 fiscal year. There is no expiration date for this program. Repurchases may be funded primarily from operating cash flows and commercial paper borrowings and the shares are initially held as treasury shares. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, we repurchased 176,458 shares at an average price, including commissions, of $283.35 per share. During the six months ended December 31, 2022, we repurchased 362,224 shares at an average price, including commissions, of $276.07 per share.

7. 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. We evaluate the collectibility of our receivables based on historical experience and current and forecasted economic conditions based on management's judgment. Additionally, receivables are written off to bad debt when management makes a final determination of uncollectibility. Allowance for credit losses was $32 million and $10 million at December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The increase in the allowance for credit losses from the June 30, 2022 amount is primarily due to the Acquisition.

10. Business realignment and acquisition integration charges
We incurred business realignment and acquisition integration charges in the first six months of fiscal 2023 and 2022. In both the first six months of fiscal 2023 and 2022, business realignment charges included severance costs related to actions taken under the Company's simplification initiative aimed at reducing organizational and process complexity, as well as plant closures. In fiscal 2023, a majority of the business realignment charges were incurred in Europe. In fiscal 2022, a majority of the business realignment charges were incurred in North America and Europe. We believe the realignment actions will positively impact future results of operations, but will not have a material effect on liquidity and sources and uses of capital.

14. Debt
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company entered into a bridge credit agreement on August 2, 2021 (the "Bridge Credit Agreement"). Under the Bridge Credit Agreement, the lenders committed to provide senior, unsecured financing in the aggregate principal amount of £6.5 billion at August 2, 2021. In July 2022, after consideration of the escrow balance and funds available under the delayed-draw term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), we reduced the aggregate committed principal amount of the Bridge Credit Agreement to zero, and the Bridge Credit Agreement was terminated.
In September 2022, the Company fully drew against the $2.0 billion delayed-draw Term Loan Facility, which will mature in its entirety in September 2025. We used the proceeds of the Term Loan Facility to finance a portion of the Acquisition. At December 31, 2022, the Term Loan Facility had an interest rate of LIBOR plus 112.5 bps. Interest payments are made at the interest reset dates, which are either one, three or six months at the discretion of the Company. Additionally, the provisions of the Term Loan Facility allow for prepayments at the Company's discretion. During the current-year quarter, we made a principal payment of $100 million related to the Term Loan Facility.
In September 2022, $300 million aggregate principal amount of medium-term notes matured. We also assumed debt associated with the Acquisition. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion of assumed debt.
Commercial paper notes outstanding at December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 were $1.7 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively.
Based on the Company’s rating level at December 31, 2022, the most restrictive financial covenant provides that the ratio of debt to debt-shareholders' equity cannot exceed 0.65 to 1.0. At December 31, 2022, our debt to debt-shareholders' equity ratio was 0.60 to 1.0. We are in compliance, and expect to remain in compliance, with all covenants set forth in the credit agreement and indentures.
15. Income taxes
On August 16, 2022, the U.S. federal government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The bill includes numerous tax provisions, including a 15 percent corporate minimum tax as well as a one percent excise tax on share repurchases. The income tax provisions are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2022. The one percent excise tax on share repurchases is effective as of January 1, 2023. Based on our current analysis of the provisions, the legislation will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We file income tax returns in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. We are open to assessment on our U.S. federal income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years after 2013, and our state and local returns for fiscal years after 2016. We are also open to assessment for significant foreign jurisdictions for fiscal years after 2011. Unrecognized tax benefits reflect the difference between positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns and the amounts reflected in the financial statements.
As of December 31, 2022, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $111 million, all of which, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. The accrued interest and accrued penalties related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluded from the amount above, is $21 million and $7 million, 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 $50 million 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 gross unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months is expected to be insignificant.
16. Financial instruments
Our 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 and equity investments. Deposits are recorded at cost, and equity investments are recorded at fair value. Changes in fair value related to equity investments are recorded in net income. Unrealized gains and losses related to equity investments were not material as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
The carrying value of long-term debt, which excludes the impact of net unamortized debt issuance costs, and estimated fair value of long-term debt are as follows:

The fair value of long-term debt is classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
We utilize derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, including forward exchange contracts, costless collar contracts, cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign currency denominated debt designated as net investment hedges, to manage foreign currency transaction and translation risk. Additionally, we acquired forward exchange contracts and cross-currency swap contracts in connection with the Acquisition. The derivative financial instrument contracts are with major investment grade financial institutions, and we do not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the counterparties. We do 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.

In connection with closing the Acquisition, the Company settled its deal-contingent forward contracts, which had an aggregate notional amount of £6.4 billion, during September 2022. In July 2022, the Company received, and subsequently deposited into the escrow account, the $250 million cash collateral previously posted in accordance with the credit support annex attached to the deal-contingent forward contracts. The cash flows associated with this activity are reflected within cash flows from investing activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value.
The location and fair value of derivative financial instruments reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are as follows:

The cross-currency swap, forward exchange, deal-contingent forward and costless collar contracts are reflected on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. We have not entered into any master netting arrangements.
The €69 million, €290 million and ¥2,149 million of cross-currency swap contracts have been designated as hedging instruments. The forward exchange, deal-contingent forward and costless collar contracts, as well as cross-currency swap contracts acquired as part of the Acquisition, have not been designated as hedging instruments and are considered to be economic hedges of forecasted transactions.
The forward exchange, costless collar contracts, and deal-contingent forward contracts, as well as cross-currency swap contracts acquired as part of the Acquisition, are adjusted to fair value by recording gains and losses through the other (income) expense, net caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Derivatives designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value by recording gains and losses through accumulated other comprehensive (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. We assess the effectiveness of the €69 million, €290 million and ¥2,149 million of cross-currency swap contracts designated as hedging instruments using the spot method. Under this method, the periodic interest settlements are recognized directly in earnings through interest expense.
Gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income as follows:

The fair values of the equity securities are determined using the closing market price reported in the active market in which the fund is traded.
Derivatives consist of forward exchange, deal-contingent forward, 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 the 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.
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.

PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION
FORM 10-Q
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
AND COMPARABLE PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021
OVERVIEW
The Company is a global leader in motion and control technologies. For more than a century, the Company has engineered the success of its customers in a wide range of diversified industrial and aerospace markets.
By aligning around our purpose, Enabling Engineering Breakthroughs that Lead to a Better Tomorrow, Parker is better positioned for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.
The Win Strategy 3.0 is Parker's business system that defines the goals and initiatives that drive growth, transformation and success. It works with our purpose, which is a foundational element of The Win Strategy, to engage team members and create responsible and sustainable growth. Our shared values shape our culture and our interactions with stakeholders and the communities in which we operate and live.
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;
•Enabling a sustainable future by providing innovative technology solutions that offer a positive, global environmental impact and operating responsibly by reducing our energy use and emissions;
•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.
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.
Recent events impacting our business include the Russia-Ukraine war and novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and their residual effects, including the inflationary cost environment as well as disruption within the global supply chain, labor markets and aerospace industry. We are actively managing the impact of these events on our business.
- 20 -
Despite disruption within the aerospace industry, commercial aerospace demand is recovering. We are managing the challenging supply chain environment through our "local for local" manufacturing strategy, ongoing supplier management process, and broadened supply base. We are also managing the impact of the inflationary cost environment through a variety of cost and pricing measures, including continuous improvement and lean initiatives. Additionally, we are strategically managing our workforce and discretionary spending. At the same time, we are appropriately addressing the ongoing needs of our business so that we may continue to serve our customers.
Over the long term, the extent to which our business and results of operations will be impacted by the economic and political uncertainty resulting from the Russia-Ukraine war and the COVID-19 pandemic depends on future developments that remain uncertain. These developments include the duration of the supply chain and labor market constraints, the severity and duration of the Russia-Ukraine war and related sanctions, distribution and continuing effectiveness of vaccines, the severity and spread of COVID-19 and its variants and mitigating actions by government authorities. Additionally, as these events and other global economic factors have led to an increased inflationary environment, we continue to monitor and manage the effects of inflation with the goal of minimizing its impact on our business, operations, and financial results.
As previously announced, on March 14, 2022, we detected that an unauthorized party gained access to our systems. After securing our network and concluding our investigation, we found that the data exfiltrated during the incident included personal information of our team members. We have notified individuals whose personal information was involved and offered them credit monitoring services. We have also provided notification regarding the incident to the appropriate regulatory authorities. A consolidated class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio against the Company over the incident. The parties have reached a settlement in principle in the lawsuit, which they intend to present to the Court for preliminary approval on or before February 27, 2023. Based on our ongoing assessments, the incident has not had a significant financial or operational impact and has not had a material impact on our business, operations or financial results.
The discussion below is structured to separately discuss the Consolidated Statement of Income, Business Segment Information, and Liquidity and Capital Resources. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "Company", "Parker", "we" or "us" refer to Parker-Hannifin Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Net sales increased for the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023 when compared to the prior-year periods due to higher sales in both the Aerospace Systems and Diversified Industrial Segments. Acquisitions completed within the last 12 months increased sales by approximately $629 million and $772 million during the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023, respectively. In the current-year quarter, the effect of currency rate changes decreased net sales by approximately $154 million, of which approximately $151 million was attributable to the Diversified Industrial International businesses, while the remainder was split evenly between the Diversified Industrial North American businesses and the Aerospace Systems Segment. During the first six months of fiscal 2023, the effect of currency rate changes decreased net sales by approximately $357 million, of which approximately $347 million was attributable to the Diversified Industrial International businesses, while the remainder was split evenly between the Diversified Industrial North American businesses and the Aerospace Systems Segment. Divestitures completed within the last 12 months decreased sales by approximately $18 million and $21 million, during the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023, respectively.
- 21 -
Gross profit margin (calculated as net sales minus cost of sales, divided by net sales) decreased in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023 primarily due to the amortization of step-up in inventory to fair value within the Aerospace Systems Segment of $112 million and $130 million in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023, respectively. During the first six months of fiscal 2023, this decrease was partially offset by higher margins in the Diversified Industrial Segment, while such margins remained relatively flat during the current-year quarter. Margins in both segments, during the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023, benefited from higher volume, price increases and cost containment initiatives, partially offset by higher material and operating costs resulting from the ongoing inflationary environment.
Cost of sales also included business realignment and acquisition integration charges of $6 million and $1 million for the current-year and prior-year quarter, respectively, and $9 million and $1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased during the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023 primarily due to higher amortization expense, research and development expense, and information technology charges as well as increased general and administrative charges associated with the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of Meggitt plc ("Meggitt"). During the first six months of fiscal 2023, SG&A also increased due to $111 million of acquisition-related transaction costs compared to $22 million in the same prior-year period.
SG&A included business realignment and acquisition integration charges of $32 million and $3 million for the current-year and prior-year quarter, respectively, and $45 million and $7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Interest expense for the current-year quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2023 increased due to both higher average debt outstanding and higher interest rates.

Foreign currency transaction loss (gain) primarily relates to the impact of exchange rates on cash, forward contracts, certain cross-currency swap contracts and intercompany transactions. During the first six months of fiscal 2023, it also includes foreign currency transaction loss associated with completing the Acquisition.
Gain on disposal of assets and divestitures for the first six months of fiscal 2023 includes a gain on the sale of the aircraft wheel and brake business within the Aerospace Systems Segment of $373 million. Refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Acquisition-related financing fees relate to the bridge credit agreement (the "Bridge Credit Agreement") associated with the Acquisition. Refer to Note 14to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Loss on deal-contingent forward contracts includes a loss on the deal-contingent forward contracts related to the Acquisition. Refer to Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Effective tax rate for the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023 was higher than the comparable prior-year periods primarily due to an overall decrease in discrete tax benefits as well as an increase on taxes related to international activities. The fiscal 2023 effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 23.5 percent.

1This table reconciles the percentage changes in net sales of the Diversified Industrial Segment reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") to percentage changes in net sales adjusted to remove the effects of acquisitions made within the last 12 months as well as currency exchange rates (a non-GAAP measure). The effects of acquisitions 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.
Net Sales
Diversified Industrial North America - Sales increased 18.5 percent and 18.7 percent during the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023, respectively. The effect of acquisitions increased sales by approximately $92 million and $113 million during the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023, respectively. Currency exchange rates did not materially impact sales in the current-year quarter or first six months of fiscal 2023. Excluding the effects of acquisitions and changes in the currency exchange rates, sales in the Diversified Industrial North American businesses increased 13.5 percent in the current-year quarter and 15.7 percent in the first six months of fiscal 2023 when compared to prior-year levels primarily due to higher demand from distributors and end users across most markets, including farm and agriculture, cars and light trucks, construction equipment, lawn and turf, heavy-duty trucks, semiconductors, metal fabrication, industrial machinery and oil and gas markets, partially offset by lower end-user demand in the life sciences and marine markets. In the first six months of fiscal 2023, we also experienced higher end-user demand from the refrigeration market.
- 23 -
Diversified Industrial International - Sales decreased 0.1 percent and 0.8 percent from the prior-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022, respectively. The effect of currency exchange rates decreased sales by approximately $151 million and $347 million in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023, respectively. Excluding the effects of acquisitions and changes in the currency exchange rates, Diversified Industrial International sales increased 8.6 percent and 10.4 percent in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023, respectively, from prior-year levels. Europe accounted for approximately 70 percent of the increase in sales during the current-year quarter, while the Asia Pacific region and Latin America comprised approximately 20 percent and 10 percent of the increase in sales, respectively. During the first six months of fiscal 2023, Europe accounted for approximately 60 percent of the increase in sales, while the Asia Pacific region and Latin America comprised approximately 35 percent and five percent of the increase in sales, respectively.
Within Europe, sales in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023 increased primarily due to higher demand from distributors and end users across most markets, including the construction equipment, heavy-duty truck, industrial machinery, cars and light truck, farm and agriculture, oil and gas, engines, semiconductor and mining markets, partially offset by lower end-user demand in the power generation market. In the first six months of fiscal 2023, there was also increase in end-user demand in the life sciences market.
Within the Asia Pacific region, sales in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023 increased primarily due to an increase in demand from end users in the cars and light truck, construction equipment, semiconductor, heavy-duty truck, rubber and plastics, telecommunications, marine and oil and gas markets, partially offset by lower end-user demand in the life sciences, industrial machinery, refrigeration and engine markets. In the first six months of fiscal 2023, we also experienced higher demand from distributors.
Within Latin America, sales in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023 increased primarily due to higher demand from distributors and end users in the cars and light truck, farm and agriculture, metal fabrication, heavy-duty truck and oil and gas markets.
Operating Margin
Diversified Industrial North America - Operating margins increased in both the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023 primarily due to benefits from increased volume, cost control initiatives and price increases, partially offset by higher material and operating costs resulting from the inflationary environment and unfavorable product mix.
Diversified Industrial International - Operating margins during the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023 remained relatively flat primarily due to higher material and operating costs resulting from the inflationary environment and unfavorable product mix offset by benefits from cost control initiatives and price increases.

The business realignment charges primarily consist of severance costs related to actions taken under the Company's simplification initiative aimed at reducing organizational and process complexity, as well as plant closures. Acquisition integration charges in the current-year relate to the acquisition of Meggitt, and prior-year charges relate to the fiscal 2020 acquisition of LORD Corporation ("Lord"). Business realignment and acquisition integration charges within the Diversified Industrial International businesses were primarily incurred in Europe.
We anticipate that cost savings realized from the workforce reduction measures taken in the first six months of fiscal 2023 will not materially impact operating income in fiscal 2023 or 2024. We expect to continue to take actions necessary to integrate acquisitions and structure appropriately the operations of the Diversified Industrial Segment. We currently anticipate incurring approximately $29 million of additional business realignment and acquisition integration charges in the remainder of fiscal 2023. However, continually changing business conditions could impact the ultimate costs we incur.

Backlog
Diversified Industrial Segment backlog as of December 31, 2022 increased from the prior-year quarter primarily due to orders exceeding shipments in both the North American and International businesses as well as the addition of Meggitt backlog in the first six months of fiscal 2023. Excluding the addition of Meggitt, backlog in the North American and International businesses accounted for approximately 80 percent and 20 percent of the change, respectively. Within the International businesses, the Asia Pacific region, Europe and Latin America accounted for approximately 70 percent, 20 percent and 10 percent of the change, respectively.
As of December 31, 2022, Diversified Industrial Segment backlog increased compared to the June 30, 2022 amount of $4.5 billion primarily due to the addition of Meggitt backlog during the first six months of fiscal 2023 and orders exceeding shipments in the International businesses, partially offset by shipments exceeding orders in the North American businesses. Within the International businesses, the increase was primarily due to orders exceeding shipments in Europe, partially offset by shipments exceeding orders in 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.

Net Sales
Aerospace Systems Segment sales for the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023 increased compared to the same prior-year periods primarily due to the addition of Meggitt sales of $508 million and $624 million during the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023, respectively. Sales also increased compared to the same prior-year periods due to higher volume in the commercial original equipment manufacturers ("OEM") and aftermarket businesses, partially offset by lower volume in the military OEM and aftermarket businesses.
Operating Margin
Aerospace Systems Segment operating margin decreased during the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023 primarily due to acquisition-related expenses, including higher estimated amortization and depreciation expense associated with the preliminary fair value estimates of intangible assets, plant and equipment, and inventory, as well as acquisition integration charges. Additionally, higher commercial OEM volume, an increase in contract loss reserves related to certain commercial OEM programs, and challenges created by the disruption within the supply chain and labor markets also contributed to the lower operating margin. These factors were partially offset by higher commercial aftermarket volume and lower engineering development expenses.
Business Realignment
Within the Aerospace Systems Segment, we incurred acquisition integration and business realignment charges of $33 million and $1 million in the current and prior-year quarter, respectively, and $46 million and $1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively. We expect to incur approximately $17 million of additional business realignment and acquisition integration charges in the remainder of fiscal 2023. However, continually changing business conditions could impact the ultimate costs we incur.

Backlog
Aerospace Systems Segment backlog as of December 31, 2022 increased from both the prior-year quarter and June 30, 2022 amount of $3.3 billion primarily due to the addition of the Meggitt backlog in the first six months of fiscal 2023.
Backlog also increased from the prior-year quarter due to orders exceeding shipments within the commercial OEM and aftermarket businesses, partially offset by shipments exceeding orders in the military OEM and aftermarket businesses. The increase in backlog from June 30, 2022 is also due to orders exceeding shipments within the commercial OEM and aftermarket businesses and the military OEM business. Military aftermarket backlog remained flat during the first six months of fiscal 2023.
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.

Foreign currency transaction loss (gain) primarily relates to the impact of exchange rates on cash, forward contracts, certain cross currency swap contracts and intercompany transactions. During the first six months of fiscal 2023, it also includes foreign currency transaction loss associated with completing the Acquisition.
Acquisition-related expenses include Bridge Credit Agreement financing fees and transaction costs related to the Acquisition. Refer to Notes 4 and 14to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the acquisition-related transaction costs and Bridge Credit Agreement, respectively.
Loss on deal-contingent forward contracts includes a loss on the deal-contingent forward contracts related to the Acquisition. Refer to Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Gain on disposal of assets and divestitures for the first six months of fiscal 2023 includes a gain on the sale of the aircraft wheel and brake business within the Aerospace Systems Segment of approximately $373 million. Refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We believe that we are great generators and deployers of cash. We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operations and meet our strategic capital deployment objectives, which include the following:
•Continuing our record annual dividend increases
•Investing in organic growth and productivity
•Strategic acquisitions that strengthen our portfolio
•Offset share dilution through 10b5-1 share repurchase program

Cash flows from operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 2023 were $1,076 million compared to $1,005 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022. This increase of $71 million was primarily related to an increase in cash provided by accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable, trade. We continue to focus on managing inventory and other working capital requirements. Cash flows from operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 2023 were negatively impacted by acquisition transaction expenses.
•Days sales outstanding relating to trade accounts receivable was 51 days at December 31, 2022, 51 days at June 30, 2022 and 49 days at December 31, 2021.
•Days supply of inventory on hand was 98 days at December 31, 2022, 77 days at June 30, 2022 and 86 days at December 31, 2021.
Cash flows from investing activities for the first six months of fiscal 2023 and 2022 were impacted by the following factors:
•Payment for the Acquisition, net of cash acquired, of $7.1 billion in fiscal 2023.
•Payments to settle the deal-contingent forward contracts of $1.4 billion in fiscal 2023.
•Net proceeds from the sale of the aircraft wheel and brake business of approximately $441 million in fiscal 2023.
•Cash collateral received of $250 million in fiscal 2023 per the credit support annex attached to the deal-contingent forward contracts.
Cash flows from financing activities for the first six months of fiscal 2023 and 2022 were impacted by the following factors:
•Proceeds of $2 billion from borrowings under the term loan facility ("Term Loan Facility") in fiscal 2023. Subsequently in fiscal 2023, we made a payment of $100 million towards the Term Loan Facility.
•Payments to retire $300 million aggregate principal amount of private placement notes assumed in the Acquisition in fiscal 2023.
•Payments related to maturity of $300 million aggregate principal amount of medium term notes in fiscal 2023.
•Repurchases of 0.4 million common shares for $100 million during fiscal 2023 compared to repurchases of 0.9 million common shares for $280 million during fiscal 2022.
•Net commercial paper borrowings of $235 million in fiscal 2023 compared to net commercial paper borrowings of $1,899 million in fiscal 2022.
- 27 -
Cash Requirements
We are actively monitoring our liquidity position and remain focused on managing our inventory and other working capital requirements. We are continuing to target two percent of sales for capital expenditures and are prioritizing those related to safety and strategic investments. We believe that cash generated from operations and our commercial paper program will satisfy our operating needs for the foreseeable future.
Dividends
We declared a quarterly dividend of $1.33 per share on October 26, 2022, which was paid on December 2, 2022. Dividends have been paid for 290 consecutive quarters, including a yearly increase in dividends for the last 66 years. Additionally, we declared a quarterly dividend of $1.33 per share on January 26, 2023, payable on March 3, 2023.
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.Refer to Note 6to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of share repurchases.
Liquidity
Cash, comprised of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and other investments, includes $487 million and $465 million held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries at December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company does not permanently reinvest certain foreign earnings. The distribution of these earnings could result in non-federal U.S. or foreign taxes. All other undistributed foreign earnings remain permanently reinvested.
We are currently authorized to sell up to $3.0 billion of short-term commercial paper notes. As of December 31, 2022, $1.7 billion of commercial paper notes were outstanding, and the largest amount of commercial paper notes outstanding during the current-year quarter was $1.7 billion.
The Company has a line of credit totaling $3.0 billion through a multi-currency revolving credit agreement with a group of banks, of which $1.3 billion was available as of December 31, 2022. Advances from the credit agreement can be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and for the refinancing of existing indebtedness. The credit agreement supports our commercial paper program, and issuances of commercial paper reduce the amount of credit available under the agreement. The credit agreement expires in September 2024; however, the Company has the right to request a one-year extension of the expiration date on an annual basis, which may result in changes to the current terms and conditions of the credit agreement. The credit agreement requires the payment of an annual facility fee, the amount of which is dependent upon the Company’s credit ratings. Although a lowering of the Company’s credit ratings would 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.
We primarily utilize unsecured medium-term notes and senior notes to meet our financing needs and we expect to continue to borrow funds at reasonable rates over the long term. Refer to the Cash flows from financing activities section above and Notes 4 and 14to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
The Company’s credit agreement and indentures governing certain debt securities contain various covenants, the violation of which would limit or preclude the use of the credit agreements for future borrowings, or might accelerate the maturity of the related outstanding borrowings covered by the indentures. Based on the Company’s rating level at December 31, 2022, the most restrictive financial covenant provides that the ratio of debt to debt-shareholders' equity cannot exceed 0.65 to 1.0. At December 31, 2022, the Company's debt to debt-shareholders' equity ratio was 0.60 to 1.0. We are in compliance and expect to remain in compliance with all covenants set forth in the credit agreement and indentures.
- 28 -
Our goal is to maintain an investment-grade credit profile. The rating agencies periodically update our credit ratings as events occur. At December 31, 2022, 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
BBB+
Moody's Investors Services, Inc.
Baa1
Standard & Poor's
BBB+
Supply Chain Financing
We continue to identify opportunities to improve our liquidity and working capital efficiency, which includes the extension of payment terms with our suppliers. We currently have supply chain financing programs ("SCF") with financial intermediaries, which provides certain suppliers the option to be paid by the financial intermediaries earlier than the due date on the applicable invoice. We are not a party to the agreements between the participating financial intermediaries and the suppliers in connection with the program. The range of payment terms we negotiate with our suppliers is consistent, irrespective of whether a supplier participates in the programs. We do not reimburse suppliers for any costs they incur for participation in the programs and their participation is completely voluntary. Amounts due to our suppliers that elected to participate in the SCF programs are included in accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Accounts payable included approximately $90 million and $46 million payable to suppliers who have elected to participate in the SCF programs as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The amounts settled through the SCF programs and paid to the participating financial intermediaries totaled $109 million during the first six months of fiscal 2023. The increase in the amount outstanding in the programs from the June 30, 2022 balance is due to the addition of Meggitt's SCF program. We account for payments made under the programs in the same manner as our other accounts payable, which is a reduction to our cash flows from operations. We do not believe that changes in the availability of supply chain financing will have a significant impact on our liquidity.
Strategic Acquisitions
Upon announcing the Acquisition on August 2, 2021, the Company entered into the Bridge Credit Agreement where lenders committed to provide senior, unsecured financing in the aggregate principal amount of £6.5 billion. In July 2022, after consideration of an escrow balance designated for the Acquisition and funds available under the $2.0 billion Term Loan Facility, we reduced the aggregate committed principal amount of the Bridge Credit Agreement to zero, and the Bridge Credit Agreement was terminated.
During September 2022, the Company fully drew against the $2.0 billion Term Loan Facility, which will mature in its entirety in September 2025, to finance a portion of the Acquisition. During the current-year quarter, we made a principal payment of $100 million towards the Term Loan Facility. Refer to Note 14to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
On September 12, 2022, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Meggitt for 800 pence per share, resulting in an aggregate cash purchase price of $7.2 billion, including the assumption of debt. We funded the purchase using cash and net proceeds from the issuance of senior notes and commercial paper and the Term Loan Facility, which were accumulated in an escrow account designated for the Acquisition. Refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Upon closing the Acquisition, we settled the deal-contingent forward contracts entered into during October 2021 to mitigate the risk of appreciation in the GBP-denominated purchase price. These deal-contingent forward contracts had an aggregate notional amount of £6.4 billion. Refer to the Cash Flows section above and Note 16to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
On April 11, 2022, the European Commission cleared the Acquisition, conditional on full compliance with commitments offered by Parker, including a commitment to divest its aircraft wheel and brake business within the Aerospace Systems Segment. In accordance with these commitments, we sold the aircraft wheel and brake business in September 2022 for proceeds of $441 million. Refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
A substantial portion of our operations are conducted by our subsidiaries outside of the U.S. in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Most of our non-U.S. subsidiaries conduct their business primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies. Foreign currency exposures arise from translation of foreign-denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and from transactions denominated in a currency other than the subsidiary’s functional currency. Although the amount of this activity has increased with the Acquisition, we expect to continue to manage the associated foreign currency transaction and translation risk using existing processes.
The Company manages foreign currency transaction and translation risk by utilizing derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, including forward exchange contracts, deal-contingent forward contracts, costless collar contracts, cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign currency denominated debt designated as net investment hedges. The derivative financial instrument contracts are with major investment grade financial institutions and we do not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the counterparties. We do 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 Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value by recording gains and losses through the Consolidated Statement of Income. Derivatives that are designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value by recording gains and losses through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. For cross-currency swap contracts measured using the spot method, the periodic interest settlements are recognized directly in earnings through interest expense. The translation of the foreign currency 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. Our objective is to maintain a 60/40 mix between fixed rate and variable rate debt thereby limiting our exposure to changes in near-term interest rates. At December 31, 2022, our debt portfolio included $1.9 billion of variable rate debt, exclusive of commercial paper borrowings. A 100 basis point increase in near-term interest rates would increase annual interest expense on variable rate debt, including weighted-average commercial paper borrowings for the six months ended December 31, 2022, by approximately $35 million.
As discussed elsewhere in this report, the future impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war and the COVID-19 pandemic and their residual effects, including economic uncertainty, inflationary environment and disruption within the global supply chain, labor markets and aerospace industry, on our business remain uncertain. As we cannot anticipate the ultimate duration or scope of the Russia-Ukraine war and the COVID-19 pandemic, the ultimate financial impact to our results cannot be reasonably estimated, but could be material.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022. Based on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, some of our team members have been working remotely at times. While there were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2022, we are continually monitoring and assessing the changing business environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.
The Company acquired Meggitt on September 12, 2022. As a result of the Acquisition, management is in the process of integrating, evaluating and, where necessary, implementing changes in controls and procedures. Other than with respect to the Acquisition, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
