Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc. (“Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings” or the “Company”) has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including its accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. The year-end, November 30, 2015, condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain reclassifications have been made to financial information for the prior year to conform to the current year’s presentation.

The Company believes the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, the operating results for interim periods may not be indicative of the results of operations for a full year.

The Company is a manufacturer of aerospace and defense products and systems with a real estate segment that includes activities related to the re-zoning, entitlement, sale, and leasing of the Company’s excess real estate assets. The Company’s continuing operations are organized into two segments:

Aerospace and Defense — includes the operations of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Aerojet Rocketdyne, Inc. (“Aerojet Rocketdyne”), a leading technology-based designer, developer and manufacturer of aerospace and defense products and systems for the United States (“U.S.”) government, including the Department of Defense (“DoD”), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”), major aerospace and defense prime contractors as well as portions of the commercial sector. Aerojet Rocketdyne is a world-recognized engineering and manufacturing company that specializes in the development and production of propulsion systems for defense and space applications, armament systems for precision tactical systems and munitions, and is considered a domestic market leader in launch propulsion, in-space propulsion, missile defense propulsion, tactical missile propulsion and hypersonic propulsion systems.

Real Estate — includes the activities of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Easton Development Company, LLC (“Easton”) related to the re-zoning, entitlement, sale, and leasing of the Company’s excess real estate assets. The Company owns approximately 11,500 acres of land adjacent to U.S. Highway 50 between Rancho Cordova and Folsom, California east of Sacramento (“Sacramento Land”). The Company is currently in the process of seeking zoning changes and other governmental approvals on a portion of the Sacramento Land to optimize its value.

On August 31, 2004, the Company completed the sale of its GDX Automotive business. On November 30, 2005, the Company completed the sale of the Fine Chemicals business. The remaining related subsidiaries after the sale of GDX Automotive and the Fine Chemicals business are classified as discontinued operations.

In June 2013, the Company acquired the Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne division (the “Rocketdyne Business”) from United Technologies Corporation (“UTC”).

The Company restated its financial information for the first quarter of fiscal 2015. See Note 13 for additional information.

Change in Fiscal Year End

On January 20, 2016, the Company's board of directors approved a change in the Company's fiscal year-end from November 30 of each year to December 31 of each year. The fiscal year of the Company's subsidiary, Aerojet Rocketdyne, ends on the last Saturday in December. The unaudited results for the month ended December 31, 2015 are included in this report. The audited results for the month ended December 31, 2015 will be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

Financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2015 has not been included in this Form 10-Q for the following reasons: (i) the three months ended February 28, 2015 provide a meaningful comparison for the three months ended March 31, 2016; (ii) there are no significant factors, seasonal or other, that would impact the comparability of information if the results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were presented in lieu of results for the three months ended February 28, 2015; and (iii) it was not practicable or cost justified to prepare this information.

AR1 Research and Development

Company-sponsored research and development ("R&D") expenses (reported as a component of cost of sales) are generally reimbursed via allocation of such expenses among all contracts and programs in progress under U.S. government contractual arrangements. The Company's newest large liquid booster engine development project, the AR1, recorded $33.1 million of such reimbursable costs from inception through March 31, 2016. During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company began separately reporting the portion of the engine development expenses associated with the AR1 project which were currently not reimbursed via allocation across all contracts and programs in progress under U.S. governmental contractual arrangements.

In February 2016, the U.S. Air Force selected Aerojet Rocketdyne and United Launch Alliance ("ULA") to share in a public-private partnership to develop jointly the AR1 engine. The total agreement is valued at $804 million with the U.S. Air Force investing two-thirds of the funding required to complete development of the AR1 engine by 2019. The work is expected to be completed no later than December 31, 2019. The U.S. Air Force has obligated $115.3 million with Aerojet Rocketdyne and ULA contributing $57.7 million . The total potential U.S. government investment, including all options, is $536 million . The total potential investment by Aerojet Rocketdyne and its partners, including all options, is $268 million . Under the terms of the AR1 agreement, the U.S. Air Force contributions are based on milestones and recognized as earned when the Company achieves the milestone. In the event the Company records a receivable for a milestone prior to expending the prospective proportional share to be contributed by the Company, the amount is recorded as an accrued liability until earned. Through March 31, 2016, the Company has recorded receivables in the aggregate from the U.S. Air Force and ULA of $10.4 million (of which $3.5 million has been collected) related to AR1 engine development which was recorded as a reduction of the AR1 R&D costs.

The total inception to date AR1 costs not charged to the U.S. governmental contractual arrangements and therefore not reimbursed amounted to $32.1 million through March 31, 2016, bringing the inception to date AR1 R&D costs incurred through March 31, 2016 to $75.6 million . The AR1 inception to date project costs are summarized as follows:



AR1 R&D costs incurred	$	75.6
Less amounts funded by the U.S. Air Force	(6.9		)
Less amounts funded by ULA	(3.5		)
AR1 R&D costs net of reimbursements	65.2
AR1 R&D costs expensed and not applied to contracts	(32.1		)
Net AR1 R&D costs applied to contracts	$	33.1

Revenue Recognition

In the Company’s Aerospace and Defense segment, recognition of profit on long-term contracts requires the use of assumptions and estimates related to the contract value or total contract revenue, the total cost at completion and the measurement of progress towards completion. Due to the nature of the programs, developing the estimated total cost at completion requires the use of significant judgment. Estimates are continually evaluated as work progresses and are revised as necessary. Factors that must be considered in estimating the work to be completed include labor productivity, the nature and technical complexity of the work to be performed, availability and cost volatility of materials, subcontractor and vendor performance, warranty costs, volume assumptions, anticipated labor agreements and inflationary trends, schedule and performance delays, availability of funding from the customer, and the recoverability of costs incurred outside the original contract included in any estimates to complete. The Company reviews contract performance and cost estimates for some contracts at least monthly and for others at least quarterly and more frequently when circumstances significantly change. When a change in estimate is determined to have an impact on contract profit, the Company will record a positive or negative adjustment to the statement of operations. Changes in estimates and assumptions related to the status of certain long-term contracts may have a material effect on the Company’s operating results. The following table summarizes the impact from 96% of the Company’s aerospace and defense segment net sales over the first three months of fiscal 2016 and 2015 and one month ended December 31, 2015, accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting:

A detailed description of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2015 .

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance on disclosures for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (“NAV”) or its equivalent. The new guidance requires the investments for which fair value is measured at NAV (or its equivalent) to be removed from fair value hierarchy. The Company adopted this guidance as of November 30, 2015. The new guidance was applied retrospectively to all periods presented. As the accounting standard only impacted presentation, the new standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In April 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance related to the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendment requires that debt issuance costs related to a debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts or premiums. The Company adopted this guidance as of December 31, 2015 (see Note 6). As the accounting standard only impacted presentation, the new standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The amendments are based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The FASB deferred the effective date for this guidance by one year to December 15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after that. Earlier application of this guidance is permitted but not before the original date of December 15, 2016. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments and the transition alternatives on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance related to the evaluation of an entity to continue as a going concern. The amendment establishes management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern in connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period. The update also gives guidance to determine whether to disclose information about relevant conditions and events when there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The new guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance that requires deferred tax liabilities and assets to be classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheet. The standard will be effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The standard may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance requiring lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with the exception of short-term leases. For lessees, leases will continue to be classified as either

operating or finance leases in the income statement. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model. Lessors will continue to classify leases as operating, direct financing or sales-type leases. The effective date of the new standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition and requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB amended the existing accounting guidance related to stock compensation. The amendment requires all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when awards vest and allows a choice to account for forfeitures on an estimated or actual basis. There is also a requirement to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but all of the guidance must be adopted in the same period. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to calculate basic and diluted income (loss) per share of common stock (“EPS”) is presented in the following table:



	Three months ended March 31,			Three months ended February 28,			One month ended December 31,

Note 4. Balance Sheet Accounts

a. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The accounting standards use a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The following are measured at fair value:



			Fair value measurement at March 31, 2016
	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
	(In millions)
Money market funds	$	114.3	$	114.3	$	—	$	—
			Fair value measurement at December 31, 2015

Money market funds	$	141.8	$	141.8	$	—	$	—
			Fair value measurement at November 30, 2015
	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
	(In millions)
Money market funds	$	187.2	$	187.2	$	—	$	—

As of March 31, 2016 , a summary of cash and cash equivalents and the grantor trust by investment type is as follows:



	Total		Cash and Cash Equivalents		Money Market Funds
	(In millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	155.5	$	50.3	$	105.2
Grantor trust (included as a component of other current and noncurrent assets)	9.1		—		9.1
	$	164.6	$	50.3	$	114.3

The carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued compensation, and other accrued liabilities, approximate fair value because of their short maturities.

The estimated fair value and principal amount for the Company’s outstanding debt is presented below:



	Fair Value						Principal Amount
	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015		November 30, 2015		March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015		November 30, 2015

	$	725.0	$	735.2	$	751.5	$	636.3	$	650.6	$	652.0

The fair values of the 7 ¹ / ₈ % Notes and 4 ¹ / ₁₆ % Debentures were determined using broker quotes that are based on open markets for the Company’s debt securities as of March 31, 2016 , December 31, 2015, and November 30, 2015 (both Level 2 securities). The fair value of the term loans and other debt was determined to approximate carrying value.

These integration costs are reimbursable by the U.S. government upon its audit and approval that the Company's planned integration savings will exceed its restructuring costs by a factor of at least two to one. In December 2014, the Company was informed that the Defense Contract Audit Agency had completed its audit of the Company’s restructuring proposal and found that the Company had achieved the required minimum two to one savings to restructuring cost ratio. Actual recovery of the previously deferred integration costs will take place after the determination from the Under Secretary of Defense that the audited restructuring savings exceed the costs by a factor of two to one and final execution of an Advance Agreement with the Defense Contract Management Agency. The Company believes these final two actions will be completed in fiscal 2016. The Company reviews on a quarterly basis the probability of recovery of these costs.

j. Redeemable Common Stock

The Company inadvertently failed to register with the SEC the issuance of certain of its common shares in its defined contribution 401(k) employee benefit plan (the “Plan”). As a result, certain Plan participants who purchased such securities pursuant to the Plan may have the right to rescind certain of their purchases for consideration equal to the purchase price paid for the securities (or if such security has been sold, to receive consideration with respect to any loss incurred on such sale) plus interest from the date of purchase. As of March 31, 2016 , December 31, 2015 , and November 30, 2015, the Company has classified 0.1 million shares as redeemable common stock because the redemption features are not within the control of the Company. The Company may also be subject to civil and other penalties by regulatory authorities as a result of the failure to register these shares. These shares have always been treated as outstanding for financial reporting purposes. In June 2008, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 to register future transactions in the Company's stock fund in the Plan. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016 , December 2015, and the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company recorded $(0.1) million , $0.4 million , and ($0.7) million , respectively, for realized (gains)/losses and interest associated with this matter.

k. Treasury Stock

During fiscal 2014, the Company repurchased 3.5 million of its common shares at a cost of $64.5 million . The Company reflects stock repurchases in its financial statements on a “settlement” basis.

Note 5. Income Taxes

The income tax provision (benefit) was as follows:




	Three months ended March 31,		Three months ended February 28,			One month ended December 31,
	2016		2015			2015
			As Restated
	(In millions)
Income tax provision (benefit)	$	3.5	$	(5.8	)	$	2.0

In the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the income tax provision recorded differs from the expected tax that would be calculated by applying the federal statutory rate to the Company's income before income taxes primarily due to the impacts from state income taxes and certain expenditures which are permanently not deductible for tax purposes.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the income tax benefit recorded differs from the expected tax that would be calculated by applying the federal statutory rate to the Company's loss before income taxes primarily due to the re-enactment of the federal research and development credit in December 2014 for calendar year 2014 which has been treated as a discrete event for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, as well as the impacts from state income taxes and certain expenditures which are permanently not deductible for tax purposes.

In the month ended December 31, 2015, the income tax provision recorded differs from the expected tax that would be calculated by applying the federal statutory rate to the Company's income before income taxes primarily due to the re-enactment of the federal research and development credit in December 2015 for calendar year 2015 which has been treated as a discrete event for the December 2015 one-month period, as well as the impacts from state income taxes and certain expenditures which are permanently not deductible for tax purposes.

A valuation allowance is required when it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets may not be realized. Assessing the need for, or sufficiency of, a valuation allowance requires management to evaluate, on a quarterly basis, all available evidence, both positive and negative, including the recent trend of losses from continuing operations before income taxes. The Company will continue to evaluate whether future results are less than projected and if a valuation allowance may be required to reduce deferred tax assets, which could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. As of March 31, 2016, the Company continued to believe that the weight of the positive evidence outweighed the negative evidence regarding the realization of the net deferred tax assets.

As of March 31, 2016 , the total liability for uncertain income tax positions, including accrued interest and penalties, was $7.9 million . Due to the high degree of uncertainty regarding the timing of potential future cash flows associated with the respective liabilities, the Company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period in which these liabilities might be paid.

Senior Credit Facility

On May 30, 2014, the Company executed an amendment to its senior credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”) with the lenders identified therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. This amendment to the Senior Credit Facility replaces the Company’s prior credit facility and, among other things, (i) extends the maturity date to May 30, 2019 (which date may be accelerated in certain cases); and (ii) replaces the existing revolving credit facility and credit-linked facility with (x) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million (with a $100.0 million subfacility for standby letters of credit and a $5.0 million subfacility for swingline loans) and (y) a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million . The term loan facility will amortize at a rate of 5.0% of the original principal amount per annum to be paid in equal quarterly installments with any remaining amounts due on the maturity date. Outstanding indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facility may be voluntarily prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, in general without premium or penalty.

The Company and the guarantors (collectively, the “Loan Parties”) guarantee the payment obligations of the Company under the Senior Credit Facility. Any borrowings are further secured by (i) certain equity interests owned or held by the Loan Parties and 65% of the voting stock (and 100% of the non-voting stock) of all present and future first-tier foreign subsidiaries of the Loan Parties; (ii) substantially all of the tangible and intangible personal property and assets of the Loan Parties; and (iii) certain real property owned by the Loan Parties located in Culpeper, Virginia, Redmond, Washington and Canoga Park, California. All of the Company’s other real property is excluded from collateralization under the Senior Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $44.1 million outstanding letters of credit under the $100.0 million subfacility for standby letters of credit and had $91.3 million outstanding under the term loan facility. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had $44.1 million outstanding letters of credit under the $100.0 million subfacility for standby letters of credit and had $92.5 million outstanding under the term loan facility.

In general, borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 250 basis points (subject to downward adjustment based on the Company's corporate credit ratings and its leverage ratio), or the base rate as it is defined in the credit agreement governing the Senior Credit Facility. In addition, the Company is charged a commitment fee of 50 basis points per annum on unused amounts of the revolving credit facility (subject to downward adjustment based on the Company's corporate credit ratings and its leverage ratio) and 250 basis points per annum (subject to downward adjustment based on the Company's corporate credit ratings and its leverage ratio), along with a fronting fee of 25 basis points per annum, on the undrawn amount of all outstanding letters of credit.

The Company is subject to certain limitations including the ability to incur additional debt, make certain investments and acquisitions, and make certain restricted payments, including stock repurchases and dividends. The Senior Credit Facility includes events of default usual and customary for facilities of this nature, the occurrence of which could lead to an acceleration of the Company’s obligations thereunder. Additionally, the Senior Credit Facility includes certain financial covenants, including that the Company maintain (i) a maximum total leverage ratio, calculated net of cash up to a maximum of $150.0 million , 4.25 to 1.00 through fiscal periods ending December 31, 2017, and 4.00 to 1.00 thereafter; and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.40 to 1.00.



Financial Covenant	Actual Ratios as of March 31, 2016	Required Ratios
Interest coverage ratio, as defined under the Senior Credit Facility	5.19 to 1.00	Not less than: 2.40 to 1.00
Leverage ratio, as defined under the Senior Credit Facility	2.10 to 1.00	Not greater than: 4.25 to 1.00

The Company was in compliance with its financial and non-financial covenants as of March 31, 2016 .

4.0625% Convertible Subordinated Debentures

As of March 31, 2016 , the Company had $84.6 million outstanding principal of its 4 ¹ / ₁₆ % Debentures, convertible into 9.4 million of shares of common stock.

Each holder may require the Company to repurchase all or part of its 4 ¹ / ₁₆ % Debentures on December 31, 2019, 2024, 2029 and 2034 (each, an “optional repurchase date”) at an optional repurchase price equal to (1) 100% of their principal amount, plus (2) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. The Company may elect to pay the optional repurchase price in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s option, subject to certain conditions.

During fiscal 2015, $49.0 million of 4 ¹ / ₁₆ % Debentures were converted to 5.5 million shares of common stock.

Delayed Draw Term Loan

During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company retired the remaining principal amount of its delayed draw term loan.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

a. Legal Matters

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to legal proceedings, including litigation in U.S. federal and state courts, which arise out of, and are incidental to, the ordinary course of the Company’s on-going and historical businesses. The Company is also subject from time to time to governmental investigations by federal and state agencies. The Company cannot predict the outcome of such proceedings with any degree of certainty. Loss contingency provisions are recorded for probable losses at management’s best estimate of a loss, or when a best estimate cannot be made, a minimum loss contingency amount is recorded. These estimates are often initially developed substantially earlier than when the ultimate loss is known, and are refined each quarterly reporting period as additional information becomes available. For legal settlements where there is no stated amount for interest, the Company will estimate an interest factor and discount the liability accordingly.

Asbestos Litigation

The Company has been, and continues to be, named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury or death due to exposure to asbestos in building materials, products, or in manufacturing operations. The majority of cases are pending in Texas and Illinois. There were 68 asbestos cases pending as of March 31, 2016 .

Given the lack of any significant consistency to claims (i.e., as to product, operational site, or other relevant assertions) filed against the Company, the Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the future costs of pending claims or unasserted claims. Accordingly, no estimate of future liability has been accrued.

In 2011, Aerojet Rocketdyne received a letter demand from AMEC, plc, (“AMEC”) which alleges to be the successor entity to the 1981 purchaser of the business assets of Barnard & Burk, Inc., a former Aerojet Rocketdyne subsidiary, for Aerojet Rocketdyne to assume the defense of sixteen asbestos cases, involving 271 plaintiffs, pending in Louisiana, and reimbursement of over $1.7 million in past legal fees and expenses. AMEC is asserting that Aerojet Rocketdyne retained those liabilities when it sold the Barnard & Burk assets and agreed to indemnify the purchaser therefor. Under the relevant purchase agreement, the purchaser assumed only certain, specified liabilities relating to the operation of Barnard & Burk before the sale, with Barnard & Burk retaining all unassumed pre-closing liabilities, and Aerojet Rocketdyne agreed to indemnify the purchaser against unassumed liabilities that are asserted against it. Based on the information provided, Aerojet Rocketdyne declined to accept the liability and requested additional information from AMEC pertaining to the basis of the demand. On April 3, 2013, AMEC filed a complaint for breach of contract against Aerojet Rocketdyne in Sacramento County Superior

Court, AMEC Construction Management, Inc. v. Aerojet-General Corporation, Case No. 342013001424718 . AMEC contends it has incurred approximately $3.0 million in past legal fees and expenses. Aerojet Rocketdyne filed its answer to the complaint denying AMEC’s allegations as well as a cross-complaint against AMEC for breach of its obligations under the purchase agreement in addition to other claims for relief. Discovery is ongoing. Aerojet Rocketdyne’s motion for summary judgment heard on August 20, 2015 was granted, but the court also granted AMEC leave to amend its complaint. AMEC filed its amended complaint and Aerojet Rocketdyne re-filed its motion for summary judgment which was granted, in part, on March 23, 2016. The court elected to separately adjudicate the statute of limitations on each of the 52 underlying asbestos cases identified in AMEC’s amended complaint and ruled that the limitation period had expired on all but five of those cases. The alleged fees and expense at issue in those cases is less than $0.5 million . The trial date has been rescheduled to May 23, 2016. On April 29, 2016, the parties reached a settlement in principle and are negotiating the terms of a definitive settlement agreement, which is expected to be completed in the first two weeks of May 2016. Upon execution of the definitive settlement, the case will be dismissed in its entirety . As of March 31, 2016 , the Company has accrued $0.2 million related to this matter. None of the expenditures related to this matter are recoverable from the U.S. government.

Securities Class Action

On February 11, 2016, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court, Central District of California, by Juliann Travis, purporting to represent a class of purchasers of the Company’s securities during the period from October 15, 2013 through February 1, 2016, against the Company, Eileen Drake, Kathleen Redd and Scott Seymour, Juliann Travis, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated, v. Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc., Eileen P. Drake, Kathleen E. Redd, and Scott J. Seymour, Case No. 2:16-cv-00961 . The complaint arises out of the announcement of the restatement of the Company's financial statements as discussed further in Note 13 by the Company on February 1, 2016. The complaint asserts that the Company's securities traded at artificially inflated prices as a result of such misstatements and alleges a violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by all defendants, and a violation of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act by the individual defendants, Drake, Redd and Seymour. The complaint seeks a determination that this matter is a proper class action and designating the plaintiff as the lead plaintiff and class representative, an award of compensatory damages in an amount to be determined at trial, an award of reasonable costs and expenses of trial, including counsel and expert fees, an award of rescission or a rescissory measure of damages and an award of such equitable/injunctive or other relief as deemed appropriate by the Court. April 11, 2016 was the deadline for shareholders and plaintiff’s firms to apply to lead the securities class action and the firm representing Travis was the only firm to apply. The Company believes this action is without merit and intends to contest it vigorously.

Inflective, Inc. (“Inflective”) Litigation

On December 18, 2014, Inflective filed a complaint against Aerojet Rocketdyne and Kathleen E. Redd, individually, in the Superior Court of the State of California, Sacramento County, Inflective, Inc. v Aerojet Rocketdyne, Inc., Kathleen E. Redd, et al, Case No. 34-2014-00173068. Inflective asserts in the complaint causes for breach of contract, breach of implied contract, false promise, inducing breach of contract, intentional interference with contractual relations, negligent interference with prospective economic relations, and intentional interference with prospective economic relations and is seeking damages in excess of $3.0 million , punitive damages, interest and attorney’s costs. The complaint arises out of the Company’s implementation of ProjectOne, a company-wide enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, for which Inflective had been a consultant to the Company. The Company believes the allegations are without merit and intends to contest this matter vigorously. On February 6, 2015, Aerojet Rocketdyne and Ms. Redd filed a demurrer to the complaint seeking to have the complaint dismissed for failure to allege facts sufficient to support the causes of action therein. On June 9, 2015, the Court sustained the demurrer in part and overruled the demurrer in part, with leave to amend. On June 18, 2015, Inflective filed an amended complaint in which it reiterated all the causes of action dismissed by the Court. On June 30, 2015, Aerojet Rocketdyne and Ms. Redd filed a demurrer and motion to strike seeking to have (a) all claims and references to a purported “finder’s fee” stricken from the case and (b) the causes of action against Ms. Redd for intentional and negligent interference with prospective business relations dismissed with prejudice. On October 16, 2015, the Court sustained Aerojet Rocketdyne’s demurrer and motion to strike with respect to the “finder’s fee” claims, dismissing those claims with prejudice, but overruled Ms. Redd’s demurrer with respect to the causes of action asserted against her. Aerojet believes that Inflective’s remaining claims have no merit.

On October 26, 2015, Aerojet Rocketdyne and Ms. Redd answered the amended complaint and denied all material allegations therein. At the same time, Aerojet Rocketdyne filed a Cross-Complaint against Plaintiff and its principal, Thomas Hensler, for breach of contract, intentional misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation and negligence. Inflective and Hensler have filed a demurrer to the intentional misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation and negligence causes of action, leaving the breach of contract cause of action unchallenged. After a hearing on Inflective and Hensler’s demurrer on February 18, 2016, the court granted the plaintiffs’ request to strike the claim for punitive damages on the negligence count, but denied the plaintiffs’ demurrer and allowed the Company’s claims for intentional misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, and negligence causes of action to remain along with the breach of contract claim. Now that the issues to be tried have been set, discovery has commenced. No trial date has yet been established.

Separately, Satish Rachaiah, a former consultant on ProjectOne (working for Inflective), attempted to intervene in the action and assert claims against Aerojet Rocketdyne arising out of Aerojet Rocketdyne’s alleged interference with his employment with Inflective. Mr. Rachaiah sought to assert claims against Aerojet Rocketdyne for intentional interference with contractual relations, intentional and negligent interference with prospective economic advantage, inducing breach of contract, intentional and negligent misrepresentation, and declaratory relief. Aerojet Rocketdyne opposed intervention, and the Court ultimately denied Mr. Rachaiah’s motion to intervene. After the Court denied Rachaiah’s motion to intervene, on December 30, 2015, Rachaiah filed a separate lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California, Sacramento County, Satish Rachaiah v. Aerojet Rocketdyne, Inc. , Case No. 34-2015-00188516 . The complaint was served on the Company on April 7, 2016 and the Company has not yet filed a responsive pleading. Rachaiah asserts the same claims in his separate lawsuit as he attempted to when he tried to intervene. The Company believes Rachaiah’s allegations are without merit, and the Company intends to contest the matter vigorously.

The Company has no t recorded any liability for either of these matters as of March 31, 2016 .

Socorro

On May 12, 2015, a complaint for personal injuries, loss of consortium and punitive damages was filed by James Chavez, Andrew Baca, and their respective spouses, against Aerojet Rocketdyne and the Board of Regents of New Mexico Tech in the Seventh Judicial District, County of Socorro, New Mexico, James Chavez, et al., vs. Aerojet Rocketdyne, Inc., et al., Case No. D725CV201500047 . Messrs. Chavez and Baca were employees of Aerotek, a contractor to Aerojet Rocketdyne, who were injured when excess energetic materials being managed by the Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center, a research division of New Mexico Tech, ignited in an unplanned manner. The complaint alleges causes of action based on negligence and negligence per se, strict liability, and willful, reckless and wanton conduct against Aerojet Rocketdyne, and seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. The Company has filed its answer and discovery has commenced. The Company has alerted its insurance carriers of this action and on September 23, 2015, the Company tendered the defense of the case to Aerotek pursuant to Aerotek’s contract for services with Aerojet Rocketdyne. Aerotek has not yet provided its response. No liability for this matter has been recorded by the Company as of March 31, 2016 .

Occupational Safety

On January 16, 2015, the Company received a notice that the State of California, Division of Occupational Safety & Health (“Cal\OSHA”), Bureau of Investigation (“BOI”) is conducting an investigation into an accident that occurred at the Rancho Cordova facility in November 2013. The accident involved the deflagration of solid rocket propellant following a remote cutting operation and resulted in injuries to two employees, one of whom ultimately died from his injuries. Cal\OSHA issued nine citations relating to the accident with penalties of approximately $0.1 million , all of which the Company has appealed. The BOI is the criminal investigatory arm of Cal\OSHA and is required by law to investigate any occupational fatality to determine if criminal charges will be recommended. The Company does not believe that circumstances in this matter warrant a criminal recommendation although there can be no assurance on how the BOI will conclude.

b. Environmental Matters

The Company is involved in over forty environmental matters under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation Recovery Act, and other federal, state, local, and foreign laws relating to soil and groundwater contamination, hazardous waste management activities, and other environmental matters at some of its current and former facilities. The Company is also involved in a number of remedial activities at third party sites, not owned by the Company, where it is designated a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) by either the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and/or a state agency. In many of these matters, the Company is involved with other PRPs. In some instances, the Company’s liability and proportionate share of costs have not been determined largely due to uncertainties as to the nature and extent of site conditions and the Company’s involvement. While government agencies frequently claim PRPs are jointly and severally liable at such sites, in the Company’s experience, interim and final allocations of liability and costs are generally made based on relative contributions of waste or contamination. Anticipated costs associated with environmental remediation that are probable and estimable are accrued. In cases where a date to complete remedial activities at a particular site cannot be determined by reference to agreements or otherwise, the Company projects costs over an appropriate time period not exceeding fifteen years ; in such cases, generally the Company does not have the ability to reasonably estimate environmental remediation costs that are beyond this period. Factors that could result in changes to the Company’s estimates include completion of current and future soil and groundwater investigations, new claims, future agency demands, discovery of more or less contamination than expected, discovery of new contaminants, modification of planned remedial actions, changes in estimated time required to remediate, new technologies, and changes in laws and regulations.

As of March 31, 2016 , the aggregate range of these anticipated environmental costs was $299.3 million to $452.7 million and the accrued amount was $299.3 million . See Note 7(c) for a summary of the environmental reserve activity. Of these accrued liabilities, approximately 98% relates to the Company’s U.S. government contracting business and a portion of this liability is recoverable. The significant environmental sites are discussed below. The balance of the accrued liabilities,

which are not recoverable from the U.S. government, relate to other sites for which the Company’s obligations are probable and estimable.

Sacramento, California Site

In 1989, a federal district court in California approved a Partial Consent Decree (“PCD”) requiring Aerojet Rocketdyne, among other things, to conduct a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study to determine the nature and extent of impacts due to the release of chemicals from the Sacramento, California site, monitor the American River and offsite public water supply wells, operate Groundwater Extraction and Treatment facilities that collect groundwater at the site perimeter, and pay certain government oversight costs. The primary chemicals of concern for both on-site and off-site groundwater are trichloroethylene, perchlorate, and n-nitrosodimethylamine. The PCD has been revised several times, most recently in 2002. The 2002 PCD revision (a) separated the Sacramento site into multiple operable units to allow quicker implementation of remedy for critical areas; (b) required the Company to guarantee up to $75 million (in addition to a prior $20 million guarantee) to assure that Aerojet Rocketdyne’s Sacramento remediation activities are fully funded; and (c) removed approximately 2,600 acres of non-contaminated land from the EPA superfund designation.

Aerojet Rocketdyne is involved in various stages of soil and groundwater investigation, remedy selection, design, and remedy construction associated with the operable units. In 2002, the EPA issued a Unilateral Administrative Order (“UAO”) requiring Aerojet Rocketdyne to implement the EPA-approved remedial action in the Western Groundwater Operable Unit. An identical order was issued by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley (“Central Valley RWQCB”). On July 7, 2011, the EPA issued Aerojet Rocketdyne its Approval of Remedial Action Construction Completion Report for Western Groundwater Operable Unit and its Determination of Remedy as Operational and Functional. On September 20, 2011, the EPA issued two UAOs to Aerojet Rocketdyne to complete a remedial design and implement remedial action for the Perimeter Groundwater Operable Unit. One UAO addresses groundwater and the other addresses soils within the Perimeter Groundwater Operable Unit. Issuance of the UAOs is the next step in the superfund process for the Perimeter Groundwater Operable Unit. Aerojet Rocketdyne submitted a final Remedial Investigation Report for the Boundary Operable Unit in 2010 and a revised Feasibility Study for the Boundary Operable Unit in 2012. A Record of Decision was issued by the EPA on August 4, 2015. A draft Remedial Investigation Report for the Island Operable Unit was submitted in January 2013 and the Final Remedial Investigation Report was issued on September 3, 2015. A portion of the Island Operable Unit, Area 40, which is related to the Hillsborough sale, is being handled separately and Aerojet Rocketdyne anticipates submitting a draft Feasibility Study to the agencies in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The remaining operable units are under various stages of investigation.

The entire southern portion of the site known as Rio Del Oro was under state orders issued in the 1990s from the Department of Toxic Substances Control (“DTSC”) to investigate and remediate environmental contamination in the soils and the Central Valley RWQCB to investigate and remediate groundwater environmental contamination. On March 14, 2008, the DTSC released all but approximately 400 acres of the Rio Del Oro property from DTSC’s environmental orders regarding soil contamination. Aerojet Rocketdyne expects the approximately 400 acres of Rio Del Oro property that remain subject to the DTSC orders to be released once the soil remediation has been completed. The Rio Del Oro property remains subject to the Central Valley RWQCB’s orders to investigate and remediate groundwater environmental contamination emanating offsite from such property. Pursuant to a settlement agreement entered into in 2009, Aerojet Rocketdyne and Boeing have defined responsibilities with respect to future costs and environmental projects relating to this property.

As of March 31, 2016 , the estimated range of anticipated costs discussed above for the Sacramento, California site was $150.1 million to $252.1 million and the accrued amount was $150.1 million included as a component of the Company’s environmental reserves. Expenditures associated with this matter are partially recoverable. See Note 7(c) below for further discussion on recoverability.

Baldwin Park Operable Unit (“BPOU”)

As a result of its former Azusa, California operations, in 1994 Aerojet Rocketdyne was named a PRP by the EPA in the area of the San Gabriel Valley Basin superfund site known as the BPOU. Between 1995 and 1997, the EPA issued Special Notice Letters to Aerojet Rocketdyne and eighteen other companies requesting that they implement a groundwater remedy. On June 30, 2000, the EPA issued a UAO ordering the PRPs to implement a remedy consistent with the 1994 record of decision. Aerojet Rocketdyne, along with seven other PRPs (the "Cooperating Respondents”) signed a Project Agreement in late March 2002 with the San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority, the Main San Gabriel Basin Watermaster, and five water companies (the “Water Entities”). The Project Agreement, which has a term of fifteen years, became effective May 9, 2002 and will terminate in May 2017 . In November 2014, the EPA met with representatives from the Cooperating Respondents regarding the end of the Project Agreement and plans for discussions with the Water Entities. The EPA, the Water Entities and Aerojet Rocketdyne and the other Cooperating Respondents have begun settlement discussions regarding the expiration of the Project Agreement in 2017 and the path forward. Discussions have occurred over the summer of 2015 and on September 10, 2015, the parties, including the EPA, met to discuss progress including a new Project Agreement to commence in 2017. At this meeting, Aerojet Rocketdyne and the other Cooperating Respondents proposed a new Project Agreement term limit. That proposal was

rejected by the EPA and the Water Entities which want a longer term. The parties continue to work cooperatively and negotiations are ongoing. Pursuant to the Project Agreement, the Cooperating Respondents fund through an escrow account the capital, operational, maintenance, and administrative costs of certain treatment and water distribution facilities to be owned and operated by the water companies. There are also provisions in the Project Agreement for maintaining financial assurance.

Aerojet Rocketdyne and the other Cooperating Respondents entered into an interim allocation agreement, which was renewed effective March 28, 2014 , that establishes the interim payment obligations, subject to final reallocation, of the Cooperating Respondents for the costs incurred pursuant to the Project Agreement. Under the interim allocation, Aerojet Rocketdyne is responsible for approximately 70% (increased from approximately 68% ) of all project costs. Since entering into the Project Agreement, two of the Cooperating Respondents, Huffy Corporation, and Fairchild Corporation (“Fairchild”), have filed for bankruptcy and are no longer participating in the Project Agreement. The interim allocation accounted for their shares. On September 30, 2014, another of the Cooperating Respondents, Reichhold, Inc. ("Reichhold"), filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11. Reichhold has stopped paying and Aerojet Rocketdyne increased its contribution for its portion of Reichhold’s share of the financial assurance. Aerojet Rocketdyne and the remaining Cooperating Respondents are completing a final allocation agreement under which Aerojet Rocketdyne’s share of the costs will be approximately 74% provided that Aerojet Rocketdyne assumes the Reichhold share and all currently funding parties participate in the allocation beyond the expiration of the current agreement.

As part of Aerojet Rocketdyne’s sale of its Electronics and Information Systems (“EIS”) business to Northrop in October 2001, the EPA approved a Prospective Purchaser Agreement with Northrop to absolve it of pre-closing liability for contamination caused by the Azusa, California operations, which liability remains with Aerojet Rocketdyne. As part of that agreement, the Company agreed to provide a $25 million guarantee of Aerojet Rocketdyne’s obligations under the Project Agreement.

As of March 31, 2016 , the estimated range of anticipated costs was $136.4 million to $179.9 million and the accrued amount was $136.4 million included as a component of the Company’s environmental reserves. The primary reason for the increase in the reserve in fiscal 2015 related to BPOU is to reflect the anticipated costs through the term of a new Project Agreement, and the amount accrued is based on the proposal by Aerojet Rocketdyne. There can be no assurance that the term of the new Project Agreement will not be longer than proposed by the Company and/or broader in scope and, if so, the Company may be required to make an additional accrual to reflect the longer time period and/or broader scope. Expenditures associated with this matter are partially recoverable. See Note 7(c) below for further discussion on recoverability.

Wabash, Indiana Site

The Company owned and operated a former rubber processing plant in Wabash, Indiana from 1937 to 2004. Pursuant to a request from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (“IDEM”), the Company conducted an initial site investigation of the soil and groundwater at the site and a report was submitted to IDEM. By letter of June 11, 2014, IDEM directed the Company to conduct additional investigation of the site, including a vapor intrusion investigation in areas in and around the site where trichloroethene levels in groundwater were found to exceed screening levels for vapor intrusion. Vapor mitigation systems were installed in one residence and one business where indoor air screening levels were exceeded and efforts are ongoing to install mitigation systems at a third location, or in the alternative, acquire the property. The Company is conducting further investigations of the site in accordance with the IDEM request and approved work plan. The Company sent demands to other former owners/operators of the site to participate in the site work, but no party has agreed to participate as of yet. As of March 31, 2016 , the estimated range of the Company's share of anticipated costs for the Wabash, Indiana site was $0.2 million to $0.7 million and the accrued amount was $0.2 million . None of the expenditures related to this matter are recoverable from the U.S. government.

c. Environmental Reserves and Estimated Recoveries

Environmental Reserves

The Company reviews on a quarterly basis estimated future remediation costs and has an established practice of estimating environmental remediation costs over a fifteen year period, except for those environmental remediation costs with a specific contractual term. Environmental liabilities at the BPOU site are currently estimated through the term of a new Project Agreement as proposed by Aerojet Rocketdyne, which the Water Entities and the EPA have rejected. There can be no assurance that the term of the new Project Agreement will not be longer than the term the Company estimated and/or broader in scope and, if so, the Company may be required to make an additional accrual to reflect the longer term and/or broader scope. As the period for which estimated environmental remediation costs lengthens, the reliability of such estimates decreases. These estimates consider the investigative work and analysis of engineers, outside environmental consultants, and the advice of legal staff regarding the status and anticipated results of various administrative and legal proceedings. In most cases, only a range of reasonably possible costs can be estimated. In establishing the Company’s reserves, the most probable estimate is used when determinable; otherwise, the minimum amount is used when no single amount in the range is more probable. Accordingly, such estimates can change as the Company periodically evaluates and revises these estimates as new

information becomes available. The Company cannot predict whether new information gained as projects progress will affect the estimated liability accrued. The timing of payment for estimated future environmental costs is influenced by a number of factors such as the regulatory approval process, and the time required to design, construct, and implement the remedy.

A summary of the Company’s environmental reserve activity is shown below:



	Aerojet Rocketdyne- Sacramento			Aerojet Rocketdyne- BPOU			Other Aerojet Rocketdyne Sites			Total Aerojet Rocketdyne			Other			Total Environmental Reserve
	(In millions)
November 30, 2015	$	153.0		$	140.1		$	7.8		$	300.9		$	5.2		$	306.1
Additions	0.5			—			—			0.5			—			0.5
Expenditures	(0.9		)	(3.4		)	—			(4.3		)	—			(4.3		)
December 31, 2015	152.6			136.7			7.8			297.1			5.2			302.3
Additions	1.4			2.6			1.2			5.2			(0.3		)	4.9
Expenditures	(3.9		)	(2.9		)	(0.7		)	(7.5		)	(0.4		)	(7.9		)
March 31, 2016	$	150.1		$	136.4		$	8.3		$	294.8		$	4.5		$	299.3

The effect of the final resolution of environmental matters and the Company’s obligations for environmental remediation and compliance cannot be accurately predicted due to the uncertainty concerning both the amount and timing of future expenditures and due to regulatory or technological changes. The Company continues its efforts to mitigate past and future costs through pursuit of claims for recoveries from insurance coverage and other PRPs and continued investigation of new and more cost effective remediation alternatives and associated technologies.

As part of the acquisition of the Atlantic Research Corporation (“ARC”) propulsion business in 2003, Aerojet Rocketdyne entered into an agreement with ARC pursuant to which Aerojet Rocketdyne is responsible for up to $20.0 million of costs (“Pre-Close Environmental Costs”) associated with environmental issues that arose prior to Aerojet Rocketdyne’s acquisition of the ARC propulsion business. ARC is responsible for any cleanup costs relating to the ARC acquired businesses in excess of $20.0 million . Pursuant to a separate agreement with the U.S. government which was entered into prior to the completion of the ARC acquisition, these costs are recovered through the establishment of prices for Aerojet Rocketdyne’s products and services sold to the U.S. government. A summary of the Pre-Close Environmental Costs is shown below (in millions):



Pre-Close Environmental Costs	$	20.0
Amount spent through March 31, 2016	(19.0		)
Amount included as a component of reserves for environmental remediation costs in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016	(1.0		)
Remaining Pre-Close Environmental Costs	$	—

The Company expects that the cumulative clean-up costs will exceed $20 million in fiscal 2017 after which ARC will be responsible for such costs due to contamination existing at the time of the acquisition and still requiring remediation and monitoring. On May 6, 2016, ARC informed Aerojet Rocketdyne that it is disputing certain costs that Aerojet Rocketdyne is attributing to the $20 million Pre-Close Environmental Costs. Aerojet Rocketdyne is evaluating the claim.

Estimated Recoveries

On January 12, 1999, Aerojet Rocketdyne and the U.S. government implemented the October 1997 Agreement in Principle (“Global Settlement”) resolving certain prior environmental and facility disagreements, with retroactive effect to December 1, 1998. Under the Global Settlement, Aerojet Rocketdyne and the U.S. government resolved disagreements about an appropriate cost-sharing ratio with respect to the clean-up costs of the environmental contamination at the Sacramento and the former Azusa sites. The Global Settlement cost-sharing ratio does not have a defined term over which costs will be recovered. Additionally, in conjunction with the sale of the EIS business in 2001, Aerojet Rocketdyne entered into an agreement with Northrop (the “Northrop Agreement”) whereby Aerojet Rocketdyne is reimbursed by Northrop for a portion of environmental expenditures eligible for recovery under the Global Settlement, subject to an annual and a cumulative limitation. The current annual billing limitation to Northrop is $6.0 million .

Most of the environmental costs are incurred by the Company's Aerospace and Defense segment, and certain of these future costs are allowable to be included in the Company’s contracts with the U.S. government and allocable to Northrop until the cumulative expenditure limitation is reached. The Company currently estimates approximately 24% of its Aerospace and

Defense segment environmental costs will not likely be reimbursable and are expensed to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Allowable environmental costs are charged to the Company’s contracts as the costs are incurred. Because these costs are recovered through forward-pricing arrangements, the ability of Aerojet Rocketdyne to continue recovering these costs from the U.S. government depends on Aerojet Rocketdyne’s sustained business volume under U.S. government contracts and programs.

Pursuant to the Northrop Agreement, environmental expenditures to be reimbursed are subject to annual limitations and the total reimbursements are limited to cumulative expenditure limitation of $189.7 million . A summary of the Northrop Agreement activity is shown below (in millions):



Total reimbursable costs under the Northrop Agreement	$	189.7
Amount reimbursed to the Company through March 31, 2016	(114.7		)
Potential future cost reimbursements available	75.0
Less: Receivable from Northrop included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016	(68.7		)
Potential future recoverable amounts available under the Northrop Agreement	$	6.3

Environmental reserves and estimated recoveries impact to unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations

The expenses associated with adjustments to the environmental reserves are recorded as a component of other expense, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Summarized financial information for the impact of environmental reserves and recoveries to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations is set forth below:



	Three months ended March 31,		Three months ended February 28,		One month ended December 31,

Note 8. Arrangements with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

As of March 31, 2016 , arrangements with off-balance sheet risk consisted of:


•	$44.1 million in outstanding commercial letters of credit expiring through July 2016 , the majority of which may be renewed, primarily to collateralize obligations for environmental remediation and insurance coverage.


•	$45.5 million in outstanding surety bonds to primarily satisfy indemnification obligations for environmental remediation coverage.


•	Up to $120.0 million aggregate in guarantees by the Company of Aerojet Rocketdyne’s obligations to U.S. government agencies for environmental remediation activities.


•	Guarantees, jointly and severally, by the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries of their obligations under the Senior Credit Facility and 7 ¹ / ₈ % Notes.

In addition to the items discussed above, the Company has and will from time to time enter into certain types of contracts that require the Company to indemnify parties against potential third-party and other claims. These contracts primarily relate to: (i) divestiture agreements, under which the Company may provide customary indemnification to purchasers of its businesses or assets including, for example, claims arising from the operation of the businesses prior to disposition, and liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination existing prior to disposition; (ii) certain real estate leases, under which the Company may be required to indemnify property owners for claims arising from the use of the applicable premises; and (iii) certain agreements with officers and directors, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their relationship with the Company. The terms of such obligations vary. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated.

Additionally, the Company issues purchase orders to suppliers for equipment, materials, and supplies in the normal course of business. These purchase commitments are generally for volumes consistent with anticipated requirements to fulfill purchase orders or contracts for product deliveries received, or expected to be received, from customers and would be subject to reimbursement if a cost-plus contract is terminated.

The Company provides product warranties in conjunction with certain product sales. The majority of the Company’s warranties are a one -year standard warranty for parts, workmanship, and compliance with specifications. On occasion, the Company has made commitments beyond the standard warranty obligation. While the Company has contracts with warranty provisions, there is not a history of any significant warranty claims experience. A reserve for warranty exposure is made on a product by product basis when it is both estimable and probable. These costs are included in the program’s estimate at completion and are expensed in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition methodology as allowed under GAAP for that particular contract.

Note 9. Cost Reduction Plan

On January 30, 2014, the Company announced a cost reduction plan (the “Restructuring Plan - Phase I”) which resulted in the reduction of the Company’s overall headcount by approximately 260 employees. In connection with the Restructuring Plan - Phase I, the Company recorded a liability of $10.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, consisting of costs for severance, employee-related benefits and other associated expenses.

The costs of the Restructuring Plan - Phase I of $6.3 million related to ongoing business volume were recovered as a component of overhead in fiscal 2014. These restructuring costs were a component of the Company’s fiscal 2014 U.S. government forward pricing rates, and therefore, were recovered through the pricing of the Company’s products and services to the U.S. government.

The costs of the Restructuring Plan - Phase I of $3.0 million related to the acquisition of the Rocketdyne Business, as of November 30, 2014, have been capitalized and recorded in other noncurrent assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. See Note 4(f) for a discussion of the capitalization of such costs.

As part of the Company's on-going efforts to optimize business resources, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company determined a cost reduction plan (the “Restructuring Plan - Phase II”) was necessary which resulted in the accrual for the reduction of the Company's overall headcount by approximately 90 employees and the closing of a facility. In connection with the Restructuring Plan - Phase II, the Company recorded a liability of $4.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, consisting of costs for severance, employee-related benefits and other associated expenses. Additionally, in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company determined that the overall headcount should be reduced by approximately an additional 60 employees which resulted in the Company recording a liability of $4.1 million . In the second and third quarters of fiscal 2015, the Company recorded reductions to the liability of $5.1 million and $1.5 million , respectively, primarily for payments made under the cost reduction plan and changes to the expected headcount reduction. These costs are a component of the Company’s fiscal 2015 U.S. government forward pricing rates, and therefore, will be recovered through the pricing of the Company’s products and services to the U.S. government.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company initiated a competitive improvement program (the “CIP”) comprised of activities and initiatives aimed at reducing costs in order for the Company to continue to compete successfully. The CIP is composed of three major components: (i) facilities optimization and footprint reduction; (ii) product affordability; and (iii) reduced administrative and overhead costs. Under the CIP, the Company expects an estimated 500 headcount reduction in its total employee population. The Company currently estimates that it will incur restructuring and related costs over the four -year CIP program of approximately $110 million . A summary of the Company's CIP reserve activity is shown below:



	Severance			Retention			Total
	(In millions)
February 28, 2015	$	—		$	—		$	—
Accrual established	12.9			2.7			15.6

Payments	(0.5		)	(0.1		)	(0.6		)
March 31, 2016	$	10.3		$	2.2		$	12.5

$0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and December 2015, respectively, associated with changes in the estimated useful life of long-lived assets impacted by the CIP.

In addition to the CIP, as part of the Company's ongoing effort to optimize business resources and achieve headcount reduction, the Company offered a Voluntary Reduction in Force ("VRIF") in July 2015 to its employees. In connection with the VRIF, the Company recorded a liability of $2.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, consisting of costs for severance, employee-related benefits and other associated expenses. In addition, in December 2015, the Company offered a VRIF to certain employees at its Redmond, Washington location resulting in additional severance costs of $2.4 million consisting of costs for severance, employee-related benefits and other associated expenses. These costs will be a component of the Company’s U.S. government forward pricing rates, and therefore, will be recovered through the pricing of the Company’s products and services to the U.S. government.

Note 10. Retirement Benefits

Pension Benefits

The Company's defined benefit pension plan future benefit accrual was discontinued in fiscal 2009. As of the last measurement date at December 31, 2015, the Company’s total defined benefit pension plan assets, total projected benefit obligations, and unfunded pension obligation for the tax-qualified pension plan were approximately $931.4 million , $1,531.0 million , and $580.6 million , respectively.

The Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $30 million to its tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan in fiscal 2016. The Company estimates that approximately 82% of its unfunded pension obligation as of December 31, 2015 is related to Aerojet Rocketdyne which will be recoverable through its U.S. government contracts.

The funded status of the Company's tax-qualified pension plan may be adversely affected by the investment experience of the plan's assets, by any changes in U.S. law and by changes in the statutory interest rates used by tax-qualified pension plans in the U.S. to calculate funding requirements. Accordingly, if the performance of the Company’s plan's assets does not meet assumptions, if there are changes to the Internal Revenue Service regulations or other applicable law or if other actuarial assumptions are modified, future contributions to the underfunded pension plans could be higher than the Company expects.

Medical and Life Insurance Benefits

The Company provides medical and life insurance benefits to certain eligible retired employees, with varied coverage by employee group. Generally, employees hired after January 1, 1997 are not eligible for retiree medical and life insurance benefits. The medical benefit plan provides for cost sharing between the Company and its retirees in the form of retiree contributions, deductibles, and coinsurance. Medical and life insurance benefit obligations are unfunded. Medical and life insurance benefit cash payments for eligible retired employees are recoverable under the Company’s U.S. government contracts.

Components of retirement benefit expense (benefit) are:

Note 11. Operating Segments and Related Disclosures

The Company’s operations are organized into two operating segments based on different products and customer bases: Aerospace and Defense, and Real Estate.

The Company evaluates its operating segments based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is segment performance. Segment performance represents net sales from continuing operations less applicable costs, expenses

and unusual items relating to the segment operations. Segment performance excludes corporate income and expenses, legacy income or expenses, unusual items not related to the segment operations, interest expense, interest income, and income taxes.

Customers that represented more than 10% of net sales for the periods presented are as follows:



	Three months ended March 31,		Three months ended February 28,		One month ended December 31,
	2016		2015		2015
Lockheed Martin Corporation	27	%	28	%	24	%
United Launch Alliance	20	%	17	%	28	%
Raytheon Company	17	%	23	%	19	%
NASA	14	%	13	%	10	%

The Company's sales to each of the major customers listed above involve several product lines and programs.

Sales to the U.S. government and its agencies, including sales to the Company’s significant customers discussed above, were as follows (dollars in millions):

Selected financial information for each reportable segment is as follows:

The Company recorded $0.7 million for realized gains net of interest associated with the failure to register with the SEC the issuance of certain of the Company’s common shares under the defined contribution 401(k) employee benefit plan.

December 2015 Activity:

The Company recorded $0.4 million for realized losses and interest associated with the failure to register with the SEC the issuance of certain of the Company’s common shares under the defined contribution 401(k) employee benefit plan.

Note 13. Restatement

As discussed in Note 2 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2015, as filed with the SEC, the Company restated its consolidated financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended November 30, 2013 and 2014 and the unaudited quarterly financial information for the first three quarters in fiscal 2015 and each of the quarters in fiscal 2014 primarily related to the following matters: (i) purchase accounting associated with contracts acquired as part of the acquisition of the Rocketdyne Business; (ii) contract accounting related to subsequent modifications to one significant acquired contract; (iii) contract accounting related to the improper recognition of sales associated with incentives; and (iv) other individually immaterial items. A summary of the impact to pretax income (loss) from continuing operations by reporting period is presented below (in millions):



	Income (loss) before income taxes
Reporting Period	First nine months of fiscal 2015			Fiscal 2014			Fiscal 2013
Purchase accounting for contracts acquired as part of the acquisition of the Rocketdyne Business (1)	$	(0.5	)	$	3.1		$	(7.8	)
Contract accounting related to subsequent modifications to one significant acquired Rocketdyne Business contract (2)	1.3			2.9			—
Contract accounting related to improper recognition of sales incentives (3)	—			1.9			(2.0		)
Other individually immaterial items	(1.2		)	(1.5		)	0.3

___________

(1) The Company's errors associated with purchase accounting primarily related to the following: (i) fair value assessment of Rocketdyne Business acquired customer contracts at the acquisition date following the close of the transaction. The Company failed to fair value three acquired contracts in purchase accounting; and (ii) the estimates of the Rocketdyne Business contracts' percentage of completion used to recognize net sales should have been based on its estimate of remaining effort on such contracts at the acquisition date instead of the inception date of the contract.

(2) The Company did not appropriately account for one significant acquired Rocketdyne Business contract amendment. Instead of being accounted for as a modification, the amendment was accounted for as a new contract.

(3) The Company immediately recognized incentives as sales based on the full amount received rather than on the percentage of completion of the related contract.

The correction of the matters described above resulted in the following adjustments to the previously issued consolidated financial statements: (i) an increase of $0.3 million , or $0.00 loss per share, to net loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2015; (ii) a decrease of $3.0 million , or $0.06 loss per share, to net loss for fiscal 2014; and (iii) a decrease of $5.0 million , or $0.06 diluted income per share, to net income for fiscal 2013. A summary of the impact to the consolidated statements of operations by reporting period is presented below (in millions):



Reporting Period	Net (Loss) Income
First nine months of fiscal 2015	$	(0.3	)
Fiscal 2014	3.0
Fiscal 2013	(5.0		)

The Company also corrected previously disclosed immaterial out of period adjustments as part of this restatement and other balance sheet misclassifications. The Company concluded these errors were material in the aggregate to the prior reporting periods, and therefore, restatement of previously filed financial statements was necessary.

The following tables present the unaudited condensed consolidated quarterly financial information for the first quarter of fiscal 2015:

Note 14. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

The Company is providing unaudited condensed consolidating financial information for its domestic subsidiaries that have guaranteed the 7 ¹ / ₈ % Notes, and for those subsidiaries that have not guaranteed the 7 ¹ / ₈ % Notes. These 100% owned subsidiary guarantors (Aerojet Rocketdyne, Aerojet Rocketdyne of DE, Inc., Arde, Inc. and Arde-Barinco, Inc.) have, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed the 7 ¹ / ₈ % Notes subject to release under the following circumstances: (i) to enable the disposition of such property or assets to a party that is not the Company or a subsidiary guarantor to the extent permitted by and consummated in compliance with the indenture governing the 7 ¹ / ₈ % Notes; (ii) in case of a subsidiary guarantor that is released from its subsidiary guarantee, the release of the property and assets of such subsidiary guarantor; (iii) as permitted or required by the intercreditor agreement; (iv) with the consent of the holder of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding 7 ¹ / ₈ % Notes; or (v) when permitted or required by the indenture governing the 7 ¹ / ₈ % Notes. The subsidiary guarantees are a senior secured obligation of each subsidiary guarantor and rank (i) effectively junior to all of existing and future first-priority senior secured debt, including borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt; (ii) effectively senior to all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured senior debt;

(iii) senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future subordinated debt; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of non-guarantor subsidiaries.

The Company has not presented separate financial and narrative information for each of the subsidiary guarantors because it believes that such financial and narrative information would not provide investors with any additional information that would be material in evaluating the sufficiency of the guarantees. Therefore, the following unaudited condensed consolidating financial information summarizes the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the Company’s guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Unless otherwise indicated or required by the context, as used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries that are consolidated in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, our operating results for interim periods may not be indicative of the results of operations for a full year. This section contains a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties including those described in this Quarterly Report under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements.” Actual results may differ materially. This section should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2015, and periodic reports subsequently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Restatement

As indicated in Note 13 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we corrected errors in our previously issued consolidated financial statements primarily related to the following matters: (i) purchase accounting associated with contracts acquired as part of the acquisition of the Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne division (the “Rocketdyne Business”) from United Technologies Corporation (“UTC”); (ii) contract accounting related to subsequent modifications to one significant acquired contract; (iii) contract accounting related to the improper recognition of sales associated with incentives; and (iv) other individually immaterial items. A summary of the impact to pretax income (loss) from continuing operations by reporting period is presented below (in millions):



	Income (loss) before income taxes

Contract accounting related to improper recognition of sales incentives (3)	—			1.9			(2.0		)
Other individually immaterial items	(1.2		)	(1.5		)	0.3

___________

(1) Our errors associated with purchase accounting primarily related to the following: (i) fair value assessment of Rocketdyne Business acquired customer contracts at the acquisition date following the close of the transaction. The Company failed to fair value three acquired contracts in purchase accounting; and (ii) the estimates of the Rocketdyne Business contracts' percentage of completion used to recognize net sales should have been based on its estimate of remaining effort on such contracts at the acquisition date instead of the inception date of the contract.

(2) We did not appropriately account for one significant Rocketdyne Business contract amendment. Instead of being accounted for as a modification, the amendment was accounted for as a new contract.

(3) We immediately recognized incentives as sales based on the full amount received rather than on the percentage of completion of the related contract.

The correction of the matters described above resulted in the following adjustments to the previously issued consolidated financial statements: (i) an increase of $0.3 million, or $0.00 loss per share, to net loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2015; (ii) a decrease of $3.0 million, or $0.06 loss per share, to net loss for fiscal 2014; and (iii) a decrease of $5.0 million, or $0.06 diluted income per share, to net income for fiscal 2013. A summary of the impact to net (loss) income on the consolidated statements of operations by reporting period is presented below (in millions):

Change in Fiscal Year End

On January 20, 2016, our board of directors approved a change in our fiscal year-end from November 30 of each year to December 31 of each year. The fiscal year of our subsidiary, Aerojet Rocketdyne, ends on the last Saturday in December. The unaudited results for the month ended December 31, 2015 are included in this report. The audited results for the month ended December 31, 2015 will be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

Overview

We are a manufacturer of aerospace and defense products and systems which develops and manufactures propulsion systems for defense and space applications, and armaments for precision tactical and long-range weapon systems applications. We also have a real estate segment that includes activities related to the re-zoning, entitlement, sale, and leasing of our excess real estate assets. Our continuing operations are organized into two segments:

Aerospace and Defense — includes the operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary Aerojet Rocketdyne, Inc. (“Aerojet Rocketdyne”), a leading technology-based designer, developer and manufacturer of aerospace and defense products and systems for the U.S. government, including the Department of Defense (“DoD”), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”), major aerospace and defense prime contractors as well as portions of the commercial sector. Aerojet Rocketdyne is a world-recognized engineering and manufacturing company that specializes in the development and production of propulsion systems for defense and space applications, armament systems for precision tactical systems and munitions, and is considered a domestic market leader in launch propulsion, in-space propulsion, missile defense propulsion, tactical missile propulsion and hypersonic propulsion systems.

Real Estate — includes the activities of our wholly-owned subsidiary Easton Development Company, LLC (“Easton”) related to the re-zoning, entitlement, sale, and leasing of our excess real estate assets. We own approximately 11,500 acres of land adjacent to U.S. Highway 50 between Rancho Cordova and Folsom, California east of Sacramento (“Sacramento Land”). We are currently in the process of seeking zoning changes and other governmental approvals on a portion of the Sacramento Land to optimize its value. In addition, we are currently in the process of completing certain infrastructure improvements to the Sacramento Land to enhance its value.

A summary of the significant financial highlights for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 which management uses to evaluate our operating performance and financial condition is presented below.


•	Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 totaled $356.9 million compared to $323.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 .


•	Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $5.1 million , or $0.08 diluted income per share, compared to a net loss of $(3.3) million , or $(0.06) loss per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 .


•	Adjusted EBITDAP (Non-GAAP measure*) for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $52.1 million , or 14.6% of net sales, compared to $36.6 million , or 11.3% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 .


•	Segment performance (Non-GAAP measure*) before environmental remediation provision adjustments, retirement benefit plan expense, and unusual items was $43.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 , compared to $32.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 .


•	Cash used in operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 totaled $(31.7) million , compared to $(35.6) million of cash used in operating activities the first quarter of fiscal 2015 .


•	Free cash flow (Non-GAAP measure*) in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 totaled $(39.4) million , compared to $(39.9) million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 .


•	As of March 31, 2016 , we had $2.3 billion of funded backlog compared to $2.4 billion as of November 30, 2015 .


•	As of March 31, 2016 , we had $480.8 million in net debt (Non-GAAP measure*) compared to $440.9 million as of November 30, 2015 .

_________

* We provide Non-GAAP measures as a supplement to financial results based on GAAP. A reconciliation of the Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is presented later in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis under the heading “Operating Segment Information” and “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, our business activities were constrained for two weeks as a result of the implementation of the Rocketdyne Business enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system.

We are operating in an environment that is characterized by both increasing complexity in the global security environment, as well as continuing worldwide economic pressures. A significant component of our strategy in this environment is to focus on delivering excellent performance to our customers, driving improvements and efficiencies across our operations, and creating value through the enhancement and expansion of our business.

We continuously evaluate a broad range of options that could be implemented to increase operational efficiency across all sites, and improve our overall market competitiveness. Our decisions will be focused on moving us forward to solidify our leadership in the propulsion markets.

Some of the significant challenges we face are as follows: dependence upon U.S. government programs and contracts, future reductions or changes in U.S. government spending in our markets, implementation of our Competitive Improvement Program ("CIP"), environmental matters, capital structure, and underfunded pension plan.

Major Customers

The principal end user customers of our products and technology are agencies of the U.S. government. Since a majority of our sales are, directly or indirectly, to the U.S. government, funding for the purchase of our products and services generally follows trends in U.S. aerospace and defense spending. However, individual U.S. government agencies, which include the military services, NASA, the Missile Defense Agency, and the prime contractors that serve these agencies, exercise independent purchasing power within “budget top-line” limits. Therefore, sales to the U.S. government are not regarded as sales to one customer, but rather each contracting agency is viewed as a separate customer.

Customers that represented more than 10% of net sales for the periods presented are as follows:



	Three months ended March 31,		Three months ended February 28,		One month ended December 31,
	2016		2015		2015
Lockheed Martin Corporation	27	%	28	%	24	%
United Launch Alliance	20	%	17	%	28	%
Raytheon Company	17	%	23	%	19	%
NASA	14	%	13	%	10	%

Our sales to each of the major customers listed above involve several product lines and programs.

Sales to the U.S. government and its agencies, including sales to our significant customers discussed above, were as follows (dollars in millions):

The Standard Missile program, which is comprised of several contracts and is included in U.S. government sales, represented 9% and 13% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively. In addition, the Standard Missile program represented 12% of net sales for December 2015.

The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (“THAAD”) program, which is comprised of several contracts and included in U.S. government sales, represented 13% and 15% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively. In addition, the THAAD program represented 13% of net sales for December 2015.

Industry Update

Our primary aerospace and defense customers include the DoD and its agencies, NASA, and the prime contractors that supply products to these customers. We are seeing more opportunities for commercial launch and in-space business. In addition, sales to our aerospace and defense customers that provide products to international customers continue to grow. However, we continue to rely on particular levels of U.S. government spending on propulsion systems for defense, space and armament systems, precision tactical weapon systems and munitions applications, and our backlog depends, in large part, on continued funding by the U.S. government for the programs in which we are involved. These funding levels are not generally correlated with any specific economic cycle, but rather follow the cycle of general public policy and political support for this type of funding. Moreover, although our contracts often contemplate that our services will be performed over a period of several years, the U.S. Congress must appropriate funds for a given program and the U.S. President must sign government budget legislation each government fiscal year (“GFY”) and may significantly increase, decrease or eliminate, funding for a

program. A decrease in DoD and/or NASA expenditures, the elimination or curtailment of a material program in which we are or hope to be involved, or changes in payment patterns of our customers as a result of changes in U.S. government outlays, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, and/or cash flows.

The Budget Control Act of 2011 established statutory limits on U.S. government discretionary spending, or budgets caps, for both defense and non-defense over the next 10 years. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 provided temporary relief to the Budget Control Act of 2011 cap levels in GFY 2014 and 2015 and eased sequestration spending cuts to the DoD and other federal agencies (e.g., NASA) for GFY 2014 and 2015, paving the way for eventual agreements on GFY 2014 and 2015 appropriations for all federal agencies. Similarly, in November 2015, the U.S. President signed into law the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, providing another two years of relief to the Budget Control Act cap numbers. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 covers both GFY 2016 and 2017 and allows for increased spending levels for DoD and other U.S. government agencies including NASA. This paved the way for the U.S. Congress to pass and the U.S. President to sign into law a $1.1 trillion “Omnibus” appropriations bill for GFY 2016, funding all government agencies. The defense portion of the bill provides $514.1 billion in base defense funding and $58.6 billion in overseas contingency operations. The base funding level is $12.8 billion below the GFY 2016 budget request while the overseas contingency operations portion is $7.7 billion above the GFY 2016 budget request. The NASA portion contains a top line of $19.3 billion, a $1.3 billion increase over GFY 2015 level.

Despite overall U.S. government budget pressures, we believe we are well-positioned to benefit from funding in DoD and NASA priority areas. This view reflects the DoD’s strategic guidance report released in January 2012, and the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review (“QDR”) which affirms support for many of our core programs and explicitly states Missile Defense, Space, Nuclear Deterrence, and Precision Strike as key capabilities for the DoD to preserve.

The NASA Authorization Act has again identified the Space Launch System (“SLS”) program as one of its top priorities in the NASA GFY 2016 budget. The SLS program also has enjoyed wide, bipartisan support in both chambers of Congress. We maintain a strong relationship with NASA and our propulsion systems have been powering NASA launch vehicles and spacecraft since the inception of the U.S. space program. Our booster, upper stage and Orion vehicle propulsion systems are currently baselined on the new SLS vehicle and both upper stage and booster engines are in development for future SLS variants. Due to the retirement of the space shuttle fleet, U.S. astronauts are now dependent on Russian Soyuz flights for access to and from the ISS for the better part of this decade. NASA has been working to re-establish U.S. manned space capability as soon as possible through development of a new “space taxi” to ferry astronauts and cargo to the ISS. In 2014, Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner capsule, powered by Aerojet Rocketdyne propulsion, was selected by NASA to transport astronauts to and from the ISS. As Boeing’s teammate, Aerojet Rocketdyne will be providing the propulsion system for this new vehicle, thereby supplementing its work for NASA on the SLS designed for manned deep space exploration. In both instances, we have significant propulsion content and we look forward to supporting these generational programs for NASA.

The competitive dynamics of our multi-faceted marketplace vary by product sector and customer as we experience many of the same influences felt by the broader aerospace and defense industry. The large majority of products we manufacture are highly complex, technically sophisticated and extremely hazardous to build, demanding rigorous manufacturing procedures and highly specialized manufacturing equipment. While historically these factors, coupled with the high cost to establish the infrastructure required to meet these needs, posed substantial barriers to entry, modern design tools and manufacturing techniques (additive manufacturing) available to new entrants with the ability to self-fund start-up as well as development costs has led to increased competition in space related markets. To date, the competition has been limited to a few participants who tend to be narrowly focused on products that are sub-elements of our overall product portfolio. For example, entrepreneurs such as SpaceX and Blue Origin, who have been or are in the process of developing liquid fuel propulsion capabilities are primarily focused on the development of space propulsion systems for heavy lift launch vehicles and are not pursuing or participating in the missile defense or tactical propulsion business segments that make up a substantial portion of our overall business. These new entrepreneurs have signaled their intent to compete primarily on price and are therefore bringing pressure to bear on existing cost paradigms and manufacturing methodologies.

Competitive Improvement Program

In March 2015, we initiated the CIP comprised of activities and initiatives aimed at reducing costs in order for us to continue to compete successfully. The company-wide initiative is being undertaken after a comprehensive assessment of our product portfolio to underpin Aerojet Rocketdyne’s technological and competitive leadership in our markets through continued research and development. The CIP is composed of three major components: (i) facilities optimization and footprint reduction; (ii) product affordability; and (iii) reduced administrative and overhead costs. Under the CIP, we expect an estimated 500 headcount reduction in our total employee population. We currently estimate that we will incur restructuring and related costs over the four-year CIP program of approximately $110 million. When fully implemented, we anticipate that the CIP will result in annual cost savings of approximately $145 million beginning in fiscal 2019. As a result of this effort, we will be better positioned to deliver our innovative, high quality and reliable products at a lower cost to our customers. The CIP costs will consist primarily of severance and other employee related costs totaling approximately $43 million, operating facility costs

totaling approximately $27 million, and $40 million for other costs relating to product re-qualification, knowledge transfer and other CIP implementation costs. A summary of our CIP reserve activity is shown below:



	Severance			Retention			Total
	(In millions)
February 28, 2015	$	—		$	—		$	—
Accrual established	12.9			2.7			15.6
Payments	(1.8		)	—			(1.8		)
November 30, 2015	11.1			2.7			13.8
Accrual	(0.2		)	0.2			—
Payments	—			(1.2		)	(1.2		)
December 31, 2015	10.9			1.7			12.6
Accrual	(0.1		)	0.6			0.5
Payments	(0.5		)	(0.1		)	(0.6		)
March 31, 2016	$	10.3		$	2.2		$	12.5

The costs associated with the CIP will be a component of the Company’s U.S. government forward pricing rates, and therefore, will be recovered through the pricing of the Company’s products and services to the U.S. government. In addition to the employee-related CIP obligations, the Company incurred non-cash accelerated depreciation expense of $0.2 million and $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and December 2015, respectively, associated with changes in the estimated useful life of long-lived assets impacted by the CIP.

Successful implementation of the CIP initiative will directly benefit our ability to win important, new development work thereby advancing our wide range of next generation propulsion solutions including our newest liquid booster engine, the AR1. Here we plan to supplement the benefits from the CIP by continuing to invest in significant company-funded research and development activities toward the successful development of this engine to meet current and future U.S. space launch needs.

Environmental Matters

Our current and former business operations are subject to, and affected by, federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations relating to the discharge, treatment, storage, disposal, investigation, and remediation of certain materials, substances, and wastes. Our policy is to conduct our business with due regard for the preservation and protection of the environment. We continually assess compliance with these regulations and we believe our current operations are materially in compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations.

A summary of our recoverable amounts, environmental reserves, and estimated range of liability as of March 31, 2016 is presented below:



	Recoverable Amounts (1)		Environmental Reserves		Estimated Range of Liability
	(In millions)
Sacramento	$	115.5	$	150.1	$150.1 - $252.1
Baldwin Park Operable Unit	104.8		136.4		$136.4 - $179.9
Other Aerojet Rocketdyne sites	8.1		8.3		$8.3 - $14.1
Other sites	0.6		4.5		$4.5 - $6.6
Total	$	229.0	$	299.3	$299.3 - $452.7

_____


(1)	Excludes the receivable from Northrop of $ 68.7 million as of March 31, 2016 related to environmental costs already paid (and therefore not reserved) by the Company in prior years and reimbursable under the Northrop Agreement.

Most of our environmental costs are incurred by our Aerospace and Defense segment, and certain of these future costs are allowable to be included in our contracts with the U.S. government and allocable to Northrop Grumman Corporation (“Northrop”) until the cumulative expenditure limitation is reached (discussed below).

entered into an agreement with Northrop (the “Northrop Agreement”) whereby Aerojet Rocketdyne is reimbursed by Northrop for a portion of environmental expenditures eligible for recovery under the Global Settlement, subject to an annual and a cumulative limitation.

Most of our environmental costs are incurred by our Aerospace and Defense segment, and certain of these future costs are allowable to be included in our contracts with the U.S. government and allocable to Northrop until the cumulative expenditure limitation is reached. We currently estimate approximately 24% of our Aerospace and Defense segment environmental costs will not likely be reimbursable and are expensed to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Allowable environmental costs are charged to our contracts as the costs are incurred. Because these costs are recovered through forward-pricing arrangements, the ability of Aerojet Rocketdyne to continue recovering these costs from the U.S. government depends on Aerojet Rocketdyne’s sustained business volume under U.S. government contracts and programs.

The inclusion of such environmental costs in our contracts with the U.S. government impacts our competitive pricing and earnings; however, we believe that this impact is mitigated by driving improvements and efficiencies across our operations as well as our ability to deliver innovative and quality products to our customers.

Capital Structure

We have a substantial amount of debt for which we are required to make interest and principal payments. Interest on long-term financing is not a recoverable cost under our U.S. government contracts. As of March 31, 2016 , we had $636.3 million of debt principal outstanding. The fair value of the debt outstanding at March 31, 2016 was $725.0 million .

Retirement Benefits

We expect to make cash contributions of approximately $30 million to our tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan in fiscal 2016. We estimate that approximately 82% of our unfunded pension obligation as of December 31, 2015 is related to Aerojet Rocketdyne which will be recoverable through our U.S. government contracts.

The funded status of our tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan may be adversely affected by the investment experience of the plan's assets, by any changes in U.S. law and by changes in the statutory interest rates used by tax-qualified pension plans in the U.S. to calculate funding requirements. Accordingly, if the performance of our plan's assets does not meet our assumptions, if there are changes to the IRS regulations or other applicable law or if other actuarial assumptions are modified, our future contributions to our underfunded pension plans could be higher than we expect.

Additionally, the level of returns on retirement benefit assets, changes in interest rates, changes in legislation, and other factors affect our financial results. The timing of recognition of pension expense or income in our financial statements differs from the timing of the required pension funding under the Pension Protection Act or the amount of funding that can be recorded in our overhead rates through our U.S. government contracting business. Our earnings are positively or negatively impacted by the amount of expense or income we record for our employee retirement benefit plans.

Results of Operations

Net Sales:

			As Restated
	(In millions)
Net sales:	$	356.9	$	323.0	$	33.9

* Primary reason for change. The increase in net sales was primarily due to the following (i) an increase of $19.1 million in space launch programs primarily associated with the RL10 program as a result of the timing of deliveries on this multi-year contract and (ii) an increase of $12.7 million in space advanced programs primarily driven by increased work on the Commercial Crew Development program and the RS-25 program which is currently engaged in a significant development and integration effort in support of the SLS program.



	One month ended December 31,
	2015
	(In millions)
Net sales:	$	96.3

Net sales for the month ended December 31, 2015 was primarily comprised of the following: (i) sales of $32.4 million in missile defense and strategic systems programs primarily driven by the deliveries on the THAAD and Standard Missile programs; (ii) sales of $26.4 million in our space launch programs primarily associated with the RL10 program as a result of deliveries on this multi-year contract and deliveries on the Atlas V program; and (iii) sales of $26.1 million in space advanced programs primarily driven by work on the Commercial Crew Development program and the RS-25 program which is currently engaged in a significant development and integration effort in support of the SLS program.

Retirement benefit expense	12.5			12.5			—
Cost of sales	$	309.7		$	285.4		$	24.3

* Primary reason for change. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales excluding retirement benefit expense and the step-up in fair value of inventory was primarily due to (i) favorable contract performance in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 on the THAAD program as a result of manufacturing efficiencies and lower overhead costs; (ii) contract losses in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 on an electric propulsion contract; and (iii) contract losses of $2.1 million related to the Antares AJ-26 program in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 that was terminated for convenience in October 2015.

Cost of sales associated with the Rocketdyne acquisition step-up in fair value of inventory not allocable to our U.S. government contracts	0.1
Retirement benefit expense	4.1
Cost of sales	$	75.4

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales excluding retirement benefit expense and the step-up in fair value of inventory for the month ended December 31, 2015 included favorable changes in contract estimates due to better than expected performance primarily on the Standard Missile and THAAD programs as a result of manufacturing efficiencies and risk mitigation. These favorable factors were partially offset by contract losses on an electric propulsion contract.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”):




	Three months ended March 31,			Three months ended February 28,

Retirement benefit expense	4.7			4.3			0.4
SG&A	$	11.6		$	15.6		$	(4.0	)

* Primary reason for change. The decrease in SG&A expense was primarily driven by (i) a decrease of $3.0 million in stock-based compensation primarily as a result of decreases in the fair value of the stock appreciation rights and (ii) a decrease in legal and consulting expenses associated with various corporate activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 and cost savings initiatives.



	One month ended December 31,

Components of depreciation and amortization:
Depreciation	$	11.7	$	12.9	$	(1.2	)
Amortization	3.4		3.4		—

* Primary reason for change. The decrease in depreciation expense was primarily due to (i) the impact of changes in the estimated useful life of long-lived assets impacted by CIP and (ii) a decrease of $0.7 million in depreciation associated with the step-up in the fair value of the Rocketdyne Business’ tangible assets.

	(In millions)
Other expense, net:	$	0.9	$	1.7	$	(0.8	)

* Primary reason for change. The decrease in other expense, net was primarily due to a decrease of $1.3 million in environmental remediation expenses (see Note 7(c) of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) partially offset by an increase of $0.7 million in unusual items charges (see discussion of unusual items below).

We retired $13.0 million principal amount of our delayed draw term loan resulting in a loss of $0.3 million.

We recorded $0.1 million for realized gains net of interest associated with the failure to register with the SEC the issuance of certain of our common shares under the defined contribution 401(k) employee benefit plan.

First Quarter of fiscal 2015 Activity:

We retired $8.0 million principal amount of our delayed draw term loan resulting in a loss of $0.2 million.

We recorded $0.7 million for realized gains net of interest associated with the failure to register with the SEC the issuance of certain of our common shares under the defined contribution 401(k) employee benefit plan.

December 2015 Activity:

We recorded $0.4 million for realized losses and interest associated with the failure to register with the SEC the issuance of certain of our common shares under the defined contribution 401(k) employee benefit plan.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit):

The income tax provision (benefit) was as follows :



	Three months ended March 31,		Three months ended February 28,			One month ended December 31,
	2016		2015			2015
			As Restated
	(In millions)
Income tax provision (benefit)	$	3.5	$	(5.8	)	$	2.0

In the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the income tax provision recorded differs from the expected tax that would be calculated by applying the federal statutory rate to our income before income taxes primarily due to the impacts from state income taxes and certain expenditures which are permanently not deductible for tax purposes.

In the month ended December 31, 2015, the income tax provision recorded differs from the expected tax that would be calculated by applying the federal statutory rate to our income before income taxes primarily due to the re-enactment of the federal research and development credit in December 2015 for calendar year 2015 which has been treated as a discrete event for the December 2015 one-month period, as well as the impacts from state income taxes and certain expenditures which are permanently not deductible for tax purposes.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the income tax benefit recorded differs from the expected tax that would be calculated by applying the federal statutory rate to our loss before income taxes primarily due to the re-enactment of the federal research and development credit in December 2014 for calendar year 2014 which has been treated as a discrete event for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, as well as the impacts from state income taxes and certain expenditures which are permanently not deductible for tax purposes.

A valuation allowance is required when it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets may not be realized. Assessing the need for, or sufficiency of, a valuation allowance requires management to evaluate, on a quarterly basis, all available evidence, both positive and negative, including the recent trend of losses from continuing operations before income taxes. During the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we will continue to evaluate whether future results are less than projected and if a valuation allowance may be required to reduce deferred tax assets, which could have a material impact on our results of operations. As of March 31, 2016 , we continued to believe that the weight of the positive evidence outweighed the negative evidence regarding the realization of our net deferred tax assets.

Retirement Benefit Plans:

Components of retirement benefit expense are:



	Three months ended March 31,			Three months ended February 28,			One month ended December 31,
	2016			2015			2015
				As Restated
	(In millions)
Service cost	$	3.5		$	2.7		$	1.1
Interest cost on benefit obligation	16.5			16.4			5.5
Assumed return on plan assets	(17.5		)	(22.0		)	(6.0		)
Amortization of prior service credits	(0.3		)	(0.3		)	(0.1		)
Recognized net actuarial losses	15.0			20.0			5.1
Retirement benefit expense	$	17.2		$	16.8		$	5.6

Market conditions and interest rates significantly affect the assets and liabilities of our pension plans. Pension accounting permits market gains and losses to be deferred and recognized over a period of years. This “smoothing” results in the creation of other accumulated income or losses which will be amortized to retirement benefit expense or benefit in future years. The accounting method we utilize recognizes one-fifth of the unamortized gains and losses associated with the market-related value of pension assets and all other gains and losses, including changes in the discount rate used to calculate benefit costs each year. Investment gains or losses for this purpose are the difference between the expected return and the actual return on the market-related value of assets which smoothes market related asset values over three years. Although the smoothing period mitigates some volatility in the calculation of annual retirement benefit expense, future expenses are impacted by changes in the market value of pension plan assets and changes in interest rates.

Operating Segment Information:

We evaluate our operating segments based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is segment performance. Segment performance, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, represents net sales from continuing operations less applicable costs, expenses and provisions for unusual items relating to the segment. Excluded from segment performance are: corporate income and expenses, interest expense, interest income, income taxes, legacy income or expenses, and unusual items not related to the segment. We believe that segment performance provides information useful to investors in understanding our underlying operational performance. In addition, we provide the Non-GAAP financial measure of our operational performance called segment performance before environmental remediation provision adjustments, retirement benefit expense, Rocketdyne purchase accounting adjustments, and unusual items. We believe the exclusion of the items listed above permits an evaluation and a comparison of results for ongoing business operations, and it is on this basis that management internally assesses operational performance.

Aerospace and Defense total	$	29.9		$	18.7		$	11.2

The increase in the segment margin before environmental remediation provision adjustments, retirement benefit plan expense, Rocketdyne purchase accounting adjustments, and unusual items was primarily due to: (i) favorable contract performance in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 on the THAAD program as a result of manufacturing efficiencies and lower overhead costs; (ii) cost recoveries on retirement benefit plan contributions; (iii) contract losses in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 on an electric propulsion contract; and (iv) contract losses of $2.1 million related to the Antares AJ-26 program in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 that was terminated for convenience in October 2015.

Aerospace and Defense total	$	15.2

Net sales for the month ended December 31, 2015 was primarily comprised of the following: (i) sales of $32.4 million in missile defense and strategic systems programs primarily driven by the deliveries on the THAAD and Standard Missile programs; (ii) sales of $26.4 million in our space launch programs primarily associated with the RL10 program as a result of deliveries on this multi-year contract and deliveries on the Atlas V program; and (iii) sales of $26.1 million in space advanced programs primarily driven by development work on the Commercial Crew Development program and the RS-25 program which is currently engaged in a significant development and integration effort in support of the SLS program.

The segment margin before environmental remediation provision adjustments, retirement benefit plan expense, Rocketdyne purchase accounting adjustments, and unusual items included (i) favorable changes in contract estimates due to better than expected performance on the Standard Missile and THAAD programs as a result of manufacturing efficiencies and risk mitigation and (ii) costs recoveries on retirement benefit plan contributions. These favorable factors were partially offset by contract losses on an electric propulsion contract.

A summary of our backlog is as follows:

Indefinite delivery and quantity contracts and unexercised options are not reported in total backlog. Backlog is subject to funding delays or program restructurings/cancellations which are beyond our control.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to segment performance (discussed above), we provide the Non-GAAP financial measure of our operational performance called Adjusted EBITDAP. We use this metric to further our understanding of the historical and prospective consolidated core operating performance of our segments, net of expenses resulting from our corporate activities in the ordinary, on-going and customary course of our operations. Further, we believe that to effectively compare the core operating performance metric from period to period on a historical and prospective basis, the metric should exclude items relating to retirement benefits (pension and postretirement benefits), significant non-cash expenses, the impacts of financing decisions on earnings, and items incurred outside the ordinary, on-going and customary course of our operations. Accordingly, we define Adjusted EBITDAP as GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes adjusted to exclude interest expense, interest income, depreciation and amortization, retirement benefit expense, and unusual items which we do not believe are reflective of such ordinary, on-going and customary course activities. Adjusted EBITDAP does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, net income (loss), as determined in accordance with GAAP.

In addition to segment performance and Adjusted EBITDAP, we provide the Non-GAAP financial measures of free cash flow and net debt. We use these financial measures, both in presenting our results to stakeholders and the investment community, and in our internal evaluation and management of the business. Management believes that these financial measures are useful because it presents our business using the same tools that management uses to evaluate progress in achieving our goals.

(1)

Free Cash Flow, a Non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow excludes any mandatory debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures. Free Cash Flow should not be considered in isolation, as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes, or as an alternative to cash flows from operations presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes Free Cash Flow is useful as it provides supplemental information to assist investors in viewing the business using the same tools that management uses to evaluate progress in achieving the Company’s goals.

Because our method for calculating the Non-GAAP measures may differ from other companies’ methods, the Non-GAAP measures presented above may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. These measures are not recognized in accordance with GAAP, and we do not intend for this information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures.

Other Information

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information relating to our discussion of the effects of recent accounting pronouncements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP that offer acceptable alternative methods for accounting for certain items affecting our financial results, such as determining inventory cost, depreciating long-lived assets, and recognizing revenues.

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments, and interpretations that can affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and other supplemental disclosures. The development of accounting estimates is the responsibility of our management. Management discusses those areas that require significant judgment with the audit committee of our board of directors. All of our financial disclosures in our filings with the SEC have been reviewed with the audit committee. Although we believe that the positions we have taken with regard to uncertainties are reasonable, others might reach different conclusions and our positions can change over time as more information becomes available. If an accounting estimate changes, its effects are accounted for prospectively and, if significant, disclosed in notes of the consolidated financial statements.

The areas most affected by our accounting policies and estimates are revenue recognition, other contract considerations, goodwill, retirement benefit plans, litigation, environmental remediation costs and recoveries, and income taxes. Except for income taxes and litigation matters related to discontinued operations, which are not allocated to our operating segments, these areas affect the financial results of our business segments.

In our Aerospace and Defense segment, recognition of profit on long-term contracts requires the use of assumptions and estimates related to the contract value or total contract revenue, the total cost at completion and the measurement of progress towards completion. Due to the nature of the programs, developing the estimated total cost at completion requires the use of significant judgment. Estimates are continually evaluated as work progresses and are revised as necessary. Factors that must be considered in estimating the work to be completed include labor productivity, the nature and technical complexity of the work to be performed, availability and cost volatility of materials, subcontractor and vendor performance, warranty costs, volume assumptions, anticipated labor agreements and inflationary trends, schedule and performance delays, availability of funding from the customer, and the recoverability of costs incurred outside the original contract included in any estimates to complete.

We review contract performance and cost estimates for some contracts at least monthly and for others at least quarterly and more frequently when circumstances significantly change. When a change in estimate is determined to have an impact on contract profit, we will record a positive or negative adjustment to the statement of operations. Changes in estimates and assumptions related to the status of certain long-term contracts may have a material effect on our operating results. The following table summarizes the impact from changes in estimates and assumptions on the statements of operations on contracts, representing 96% of our aerospace and defense segment net sales over the first three months of fiscal 2016 and 2015 and one month ended December 31, 2015, accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting:

Arrangements with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

As of March 31, 2016 , arrangements with off-balance sheet risk consisted of:


•	$44.1 million in outstanding commercial letters of credit expiring through July 2016 , the majority of which may be renewed, primarily to collateralize obligations for environmental remediation and insurance coverage.


•	$45.5 million in outstanding surety bonds to primarily satisfy indemnification obligations for environmental remediation coverage.


•	Up to $120.0 million aggregate in guarantees by us of Aerojet Rocketdyne’s obligations to U.S. government agencies for environmental remediation activities.


•	Guarantees, jointly and severally, by our material domestic subsidiaries of their obligations under our Senior Credit Facility and 7.125% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes (“7 ¹ / ₈ % Notes”).

In addition to the items discussed above, we have and will from time to time enter into certain types of contracts that require us to indemnify parties against potential third-party and other claims. These contracts primarily relate to: (i) divestiture agreements, under which we may provide customary indemnification to purchasers of our businesses or assets including, for example, claims arising from the operation of the businesses prior to disposition, liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination existing prior to disposition; (ii) certain real estate leases, under which we may be required to indemnify property owners for claims arising from the use of the applicable premises; and (iii) certain agreements with officers and directors, under which we may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their relationship with us. The terms of such obligations vary. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated.

Additionally, we issue purchase orders and make other commitments to suppliers for equipment, materials, and supplies in the normal course of business. These purchase commitments are generally for volumes consistent with anticipated requirements to fulfill purchase orders or contracts for product deliveries received, or expected to be received, from customers and would be subject to reimbursement if the contract is terminated.

We provide product warranties in conjunction with certain product sales. The majority of our warranties are one-year standard warranties for parts, workmanship, and compliance with specifications. On occasion, we have made commitments beyond the standard warranty obligation. While we have contracts with warranty provisions, there is not a history of any significant warranty claims experience. A reserve for warranty exposure is made on a product by product basis when it is both

estimable and probable . These costs are included in the program’s estimate at completion and are expensed in accordance with our revenue recognition methodology as allowed under GAAP for that particular contract.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Operating, Investing, and Financing Activities

The change in cash and cash equivalents was as follows:

Net Cash Used In Operating Activities

The $31.7 million of cash used in operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was primarily due to the result of cash used to fund working capital (defined as accounts receivables, inventories, other current assets, accounts payable, contract advances, real estate activities, and other current liabilities). The funding of working capital is primarily due to the following: (i) a decrease of $30.1 million in cash advances on long-term contracts; (ii) a decrease of $23.3 million in other current liabilities primarily associated with payments for employee compensation and interest; (iii) an increase of $14.4 million in inventories primarily related to AR1 R&D activities; and (iv) an increase of $12.8 million in account receivables due to the timing of the recognition of net sales partially offset by a net increase of $22.5 million in accounts payable primarily related to the timing of payments. Additionally, income from continuing operations before income taxes adjusted for non-cash items generated $44.3 million of cash partially offset by retirement benefit plan funding of $8.7 million .

The $35.6 million of cash used in operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was primarily the result of cash used to fund working capital (defined as accounts receivables, inventories, other current assets, accounts payable, contract advances, real estate activities, and other current liabilities). The funding of working capital is primarily due to the following: (i) a decrease of $26.9 million in accounts payable and other current liabilities related to the timing of payments; (ii) an increase of $23.5 million in inventories primarily due to growth in overhead; and (iii) an increase of $19.5 million in accounts receivable due to delayed quarter billings as a result of the ERP implementation. The cash used in operating activities was partially offset by (i) loss from continuing operations before income taxes adjusted for non-cash items which generated $28.6 million and (ii) an increase of $9.6 million in cash advances on long-term contracts.

The $2.3 million of cash used in operating activities in December 2015 was primarily due to the result of cash used to fund working capital (defined as accounts receivables, inventories, other current assets, accounts payable, contract advances, real estate activities, and other current liabilities). The funding of working capital is primarily due to a decrease of $41.0 million in accounts payable related to the timing of payments partially offset by an increase of $27.2 million in cash advances on long-term contracts. Additionally, income from continuing operations before income taxes adjusted for non-cash items generated $17.1 million .

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities

During the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015, we had capital expenditures of $ 7.7 million and $ 4.3 million , respectively. During December 2015, we had capital expenditures of $1.2 million .

Net Cash Used in (Provided by) Financing Activities

During the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and December 2015, we had debt repayments of $15.7 million . During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, we had debt repayments of $9.3 million.

Debt Activity and Covenants

Our debt activity since November 30, 2015 was as follows:



	November 30, 2015		Cash Payments			Non-cash Activity		March 31, 2016
	(In millions)
Term loan	$	93.1	$	(2.5	)	$	—	$	90.6

Other debt	0.4		(0.2		)	—		0.2
Total Debt and Borrowing Activity	$	640.4	$	(15.7	)	$	0.9	$	625.6

We are subject to certain limitations including the ability to incur additional debt, make certain investments and acquisitions, and make certain restricted payments, including stock repurchases and dividends. The Senior Credit Facility includes events of default usual and customary for facilities of this nature, the occurrence of which could lead to an acceleration of our obligations thereunder. Additionally, the Senior Credit Facility includes certain financial covenants, including that we maintain (i) a maximum total leverage ratio, calculated net of cash up to a maximum of $150.0 million, 4.25 to 1.00 through fiscal periods ending December 31, 2017, and 4.00 to 1.00 thereafter; and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.40 to 1.00.



Financial Covenant	Actual Ratios as of March 31, 2016	Required Ratios
Interest coverage ratio, as defined under the Senior Credit Facility	5.19 to 1.00	Not less than: 2.40 to 1.00
Leverage ratio, as defined under the Senior Credit Facility	2.10 to 1.00	Not greater than: 4.25 to 1.00

We were in compliance with our financial and non-financial covenants as of March 31, 2016 .

Outlook

Short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of recurring operating expenses, including but not limited to costs related to our capital and environmental expenditures, company-funded research and development expenditures, debt service requirements, and retirement benefit plans. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and availability under our revolving credit facility will provide sufficient funds to meet our operating plan, which includes our CIP and AR1 engine development costs, for the next twelve months. The operating plan for this period provides for full operation of our businesses, and interest and principal payments on our debt. As of March 31, 2016 , we had $155.9 million of available borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility. Based on our existing debt agreements, we were in compliance with our financial and non-financial covenants as of March 31, 2016 . Our failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of the Senior Credit Facility, the 7 ¹ / ₈ % Notes, and the 4 ¹ / ₁₆ % Debentures. In addition, our failure to pay principal and interest when due is a default under the Senior Credit Facility, and in certain cases, would cause cross defaults on the 7 ¹ / ₈ % Notes and 4 ¹ / ₁₆ % Debentures.

We are committed to a cash management strategy that maintains liquidity to adequately support the operation of the business, our growth strategy and to withstand unanticipated business volatility. We believe that cash generated from operations, together with our current levels of cash and investments as well as availability under our revolving credit facility, should be sufficient to maintain our ongoing operations, support working capital requirements, fund the CIP, make required cash contributions of approximately $30 million in fiscal 2016 to our tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan, and fund anticipated capital expenditures related to projected business growth. Our cash management strategy includes maintaining the flexibility to pay down debt and/or repurchase shares depending on economic and other conditions. In connection with the implementation of our cash management strategy, our management may seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise if we believe that it is in our best interests. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Potential future acquisitions depend, in part, on the availability of financial resources at an acceptable cost of capital. We expect to utilize cash on hand and cash generated by operations, as well as cash available under our Senior Credit Facility, which may involve renegotiation of credit limits to finance future acquisitions. Other sources of capital could include the issuance of common and/or preferred stock, and the placement of debt. We periodically evaluate capital markets and may access such markets when circumstances appear favorable. We believe that sufficient capital resources will be available from one or several of these sources to finance future acquisitions. However, no assurances can be made that acceptable financing will be available, or that acceptable acquisition candidates will be identified, or that any such acquisitions will be accretive to earnings.

As disclosed in Notes 7(a) and 7(b) of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we have exposure for certain legal and environmental matters. We believe that it is currently not possible to estimate the impact, if any, that the ultimate resolution of certain of these matters will have on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Major factors that could adversely impact our forecasted operating cash and our financial condition are described in the section “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report to the SEC on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2015.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain information contained in this report should be considered “forward-looking statements” as defined by Section 21E of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements in this report other than historical information may be deemed forward-looking statements. These statements present (without limitation) the expectations, beliefs, plans and objectives of management and future financial performance and assumptions underlying, or judgments concerning, the matters discussed in the statements.

Forward-looking statements involve certain risks, estimates, assumptions and uncertainties, including with respect to future sales and activity levels, cash flows, contract performance, the outcome of litigation and contingencies, environmental remediation and anticipated costs of capital. A variety of factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expected and expressed in our forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are described in the section “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report to the SEC on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2015 include the following:

•	those risks detailed in the Company's reports filed with the SEC.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to our disclosures related to certain market risks as reported under Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in our Annual Report to the SEC on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2015.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk principally due to changes in interest rates. Debt with interest rate risk includes borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility. Other than pension assets and liabilities, we do not have any significant exposure to interest rate risk related to our investments.

As of March 31, 2016 , our debt principal amounts totaled $636.3 million : $545.0 million, or 86%, was at an average fixed rate of 6.65%; and $91.3 million, or 14%, was at a variable rate of 2.64%.

The estimated fair value and principal amount of our outstanding debt is presented below:



	Fair Value						Principal Amount
	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015		November 30, 2015		March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015		November 30, 2015
	(In millions)
Term loan	$	91.3	$	92.5	$	93.8	$	91.3	$	92.5	$	93.8
7 1/8% Notes	479.6		479.6		480.1		460.0		460.0		460.0
4 1/16% Debentures	153.6		149.5		164.0		84.6		84.6		84.6
Delayed draw term loan	—		13.0		13.0		—		13.0		13.0
Other debt	0.5		0.6		0.6		0.4		0.5		0.6
	$	725.0	$	735.2	$	751.5	$	636.3	$	650.6	$	652.0

The fair values of the 7 ¹ / ₈ % Notes and 4 ¹ / ₁₆ % Debentures were determined using broker quotes that are based on open markets of our debt securities as of March 31, 2016 , December 31, 2015, and November 30, 2015. The fair value of the term loans and other debt was determined to approximate carrying value.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Management has conducted an evaluation (with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of March 31, 2016. The Company previously reported material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting related to the following matters: (i) the Company did not adequately design controls related to purchase accounting considerations for long-

term customer contracts acquired as part of a business combination and (ii) the Company did not maintain effective controls over the integration of the Company’s accounting policies, practices and controls applicable to the acquired Rocketdyne Business, including those over the segmentation criteria applicable to long-term contracts. As a result of these material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which were not remediated as of March 31, 2016, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2016.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses

Management is in the process of improving and strengthening the internal controls related to the above matters, including: (i) ensure the percent complete on all acquired long-term customer contracts is reset to zero upon acquisition; (ii) verify that all acquired long-term customer contracts are appropriately evaluated for necessary fair value adjustments during the measurement period following the close of the transaction; and (iii) assess acquiree accounting policies and evaluate the impact of those policies on the fair value of acquired long-term customer contracts upon acquisition. Notwithstanding the above, the identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until the new controls are fully implemented, in operation for a sufficient period of time, tested and concluded by management to be designed and operating effectively.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

Other than the changes associated with addressing the material weaknesses discussed above, there were no material changes in internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.
