Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of results for the interim period have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended April 2, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2021. All references to years in these financial statements are to fiscal years.
COVID-19 Impacts On Our Business
The spread of the COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted businesses on a global scale. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization classified the outbreak as a pandemic. As we entered this crisis, the Company established two clear priorities: first and foremost the health and safety of our employees and their families, and second, continuing to meet the needs of our customers and secure the financial well-being of the Company. Substantially all of our operations and production activities have, to-date, remained operational. COVID-19 is discussed in more detail throughout “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Impairment of Assets
Long-lived assets, including acquired intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. We estimate fair value using undiscounted cash flows to determine whether impairment exists and measure any impairment loss using discounted cash flows, or with another comparable method.
In 2022, we recorded impairment charges on long-lived assets in our Aircraft Controls segment. These charges relate to property, plant and equipment that experienced a significant decline in value due to a slower than expected recovery of our commercial aircraft business. In addition, we have recorded impairment charges on receivables and inventories associated with Russian actions in Ukraine. These charges are included in asset impairment in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Earnings.
See Note 4 - Receivables, Note 5 - Inventories, Note 6 - Property, Plant and Equipment and Note 12 - Fair Value for additional disclosures relating to impairment charges recorded.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
There have been no accounting pronouncements adopted for the six months ended April 2, 2022.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
We consider the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates ("ASU"). ASUs not listed were assessed and determined to be either not applicable, or had or are expected to have an immaterial impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.
We recognize revenue from contracts with customers using the five-step model prescribed in ASC 606. The first step is identifying the contract. The identification of a contract with a customer requires an assessment of each party’s rights and obligations regarding the products or services to be transferred, including an evaluation of termination clauses and presently enforceable rights and obligations. Each party’s rights and obligations and the associated terms and conditions are typically determined in purchase orders. For sales that are governed by master supply agreements under which provisions define specific program requirements, purchase orders are issued under these agreements to reflect presently enforceable rights and obligations for the units of products and services being purchased.
Contracts are sometimes modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. When this occurs, we assess the modification as prescribed in ASC 606 and determine whether the existing contract needs to be modified (and revenue cumulatively caught up), whether the existing contract needs to be terminated and a new contract needs to be created, or whether the existing contract remains and a new contract needs to be created. This is determined based on the rights and obligations within the modification as well as the associated transaction price.
The next step is identifying the performance obligations. A performance obligation is a promise to transfer goods or services to a customer that is distinct in the context of the contract, as defined by ASC 606. We identify a performance obligation for each promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. As part of our assessment, we consider all goods and/or services promised in the contract, regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. The products and services in our contracts are typically not distinct from one another due to their complexity and reliance on each other or, in many cases, we provide a significant integration service. Accordingly, many of our contracts are accounted for as one performance obligation. In limited cases, our contracts have more than one distinct performance obligation, which occurs when we perform activities that are not highly complex or interrelated or involve different product life cycles. Warranties are provided on certain contracts, but do not typically provide for services beyond standard assurances and are therefore not distinct performance obligations under ASC 606.
The third step is determining the transaction price, which represents the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to receive from a customer in exchange for providing the goods or services. There are times when this consideration is variable, for example a volume discount, and must be estimated. Sales, use, value-added, and excise taxes are excluded from the transaction price, where applicable.
The fourth step is allocating the transaction price. The transaction price must be allocated to the performance obligations identified in the contract based on relative stand-alone selling prices when available, or an estimate for each distinct good or service in the contract when standalone prices are not available. Our contracts with customers generally require payment under normal commercial terms after delivery. Payment terms are typically within 30 to 60 days of delivery. The timing of satisfaction of our performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment.
The final step is the recognition of revenue. We recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied. ASC 606 provides guidance to help determine if we are satisfying the performance obligation at a point in time or over time. In determining when performance obligations are satisfied, we consider factors such as contract terms, payment terms and whether there is an alternative use of the product or service. In essence, we recognize revenue when, or as control of, the promised goods or services transfer to the customer.
Revenue is recognized either over time using an input method that uses costs incurred to date to measure progress toward completion ("cost-to-cost") method, or point in time method. The over-time method of revenue recognition is predominantly used in Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls. We use this method for U.S. Government contracts and repair and overhaul arrangements as we are creating or enhancing assets that the customer controls as the assets are being created or enhanced. In addition, many of our large commercial contracts qualify for over-time accounting as our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Our over-time contracts are primarily firm fixed price.
Revenue recognized at the point in time control is transferred to the customer is used most frequently in Industrial Systems. We use this method for commercial contracts in which the asset being created has an alternative use. We determine the point in time control transfers to the customer by weighing the five indicators provided by ASC 606 - the entity has a present right to payment; the customer has legal title; the customer has physical possession; the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership; and the customer has accepted the asset. When control has transferred to the customer, profit is generated as cost of sales is recorded and as revenue is recognized. Inventory costs include all product manufacturing costs such as direct material, direct labor, other direct costs and indirect overhead cost allocations. Shipping and handling costs are considered costs to fulfill a contract and not considered performance obligations. They are included in cost of sales as incurred.
Revenue is recognized on contracts using the cost-to-cost method of accounting as work progresses toward completion as determined by the ratio of cumulative costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs at completion, multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative revenue recognized in prior periods. We believe that cumulative costs incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total contract costs at completion is an appropriate measure of progress toward satisfaction of performance obligations as this measure most accurately depicts the progress of our work and transfer of control to our customers. Changes in estimates affecting sales, costs and profits are recognized in the period in which the change becomes known using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting, resulting in the cumulative effect of changes reflected in the period. Estimates are reviewed and updated quarterly for substantially all contracts. For the three and six months ended April 2, 2022 we recognized lower revenue of $2,238 and additional revenue of $8,740, respectively, for adjustments made to performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods. For the three and six months ended April 3, 2021 we recognized additional revenue of $10,563 and $12,535, respectively, for adjustments made to performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods.
Contract costs include only allocable, allowable and reasonable costs which are included in cost of sales when incurred. For applicable U.S. Government contracts, contract costs are determined in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations and the related Cost Accounting Standards. The nature of these costs includes development engineering costs and product manufacturing costs such as direct material, direct labor, other direct costs and indirect overhead costs. Contract profit is recorded as a result of the revenue recognized less costs incurred in any reporting period. Variable consideration and contract modifications, such as performance incentives, penalties, contract claims or change orders are considered in estimating revenues, costs and profits when they can be reliably estimated and realization is considered probable. Revenue recognized on contracts for unresolved claims or unapproved contract change orders was not material for the three and six months ended April 2, 2022.
As of April 2, 2022, we had contract reserves of$47,380. For contracts with anticipated losses at completion, a provision for the entire amount of the estimated remaining loss is charged against income in the period in which the loss becomes known. Contract losses are determined considering all direct and indirect contract costs, exclusive of any selling, general or administrative cost allocations that are treated as period expenses. Loss reserves are more common on firm fixed-price contracts that involve, to varying degrees, the design and development of new and unique controls or control systems to meet the customers’ specifications. In accordance with ASC 606, we calculate contract losses at the contract level, versus the performance obligation level. Recall reserves are recorded when additional work is needed on completed products for them to meet contract specifications. Contract-related loss reserves are recorded for the additional work needed on completed and delivered products in order for them to meet contract specifications.
Unbilled receivables (contract assets) primarily represent revenues recognized for performance obligations that have been satisfied but for which amounts have not been billed. These are included as Receivables on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Contract advances (contract liabilities) relate to payments received from customers in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations for a contract. We do not consider contract advances to be significant financing components as the intent of these payments in advance are for reasons other than providing a significant financing benefit and are customary in our industry.
Total contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows:

October 2, 2021

546,764
Contract advances
321,594

Net contract assets
$
268,822
$
283,078
The increase in contract assets reflects the net impact of additional unbilled revenues recorded in excess of revenue recognized during the period. The increase in contract liabilities reflects the net impact of additional deferred revenues recorded in excess of revenue recognized during the period. For the three and six months ended April 2, 2022, we recognized $56,481 and $131,165 of revenue, respectively, that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.
Remaining Performance Obligations
As of April 2, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) was $5,100,000. We expect to recognize approximately 45% of that amount as sales over the next twelve months and the balance thereafter.
Disaggregation of Revenue
See Note 19 - Segments, for disclosures related to disaggregation of revenue.
Note 3 - Acquisitions and Divestitures
Acquisitions
On February 21, 2022, we acquired TEAM Accessories Limited ("TEAM") based in Dublin, Ireland for a purchase price, net of acquired cash, of $14,890, consisting of $11,837 in cash and contingent consideration with an initial fair value of $3,053. TEAM specializes in Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul ("MRO") of engine and airframe components. This operation is included in our Aircraft Controls segment. The purchase price allocation is subject to adjustments as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the measurement period.
On December 18, 2020, we acquired Genesys Aerosystems Group, Inc. ("Genesys"), headquartered in Mineral Wells, Texas for a purchase price of $77,600, net of acquired cash. Genesys designs and manufactures a full suite of electronic flight instrument systems and autopilot solutions. This operation is included in our Aircraft Controls segment.
Divestitures
On December 3, 2021, we sold the assets of our Navigation Aids ("NAVAIDS") business based in Salt Lake City, Utah previously included in our Aircraft Controls segment to THALES USA Inc. We received proceeds at closing of $38,611, which are included in other investing transactions on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows and recorded a gain of $16,146, net of transaction costs. The sale is subject to customary post closing working capital and other adjustments, including amounts currently held in escrow.
In the first quarter of 2021, we sold a non-core business in our Aircraft Controls segment for $2,081 in net consideration in other investing transactions and recorded a loss of $683.
Net receivables disclosed above reflects the non-cash write-down of $642 recorded for the three months ended April 2, 2022 associated with Russian actions in Ukraine.
On November 4, 2021, Moog Receivables LLC (the "Receivables Subsidiary"), a wholly owned bankruptcy remote special purpose subsidiary of Moog Inc. (the "Company"), as seller, the Company, as master servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Agent") and certain purchasers (collectively, the "Purchasers") entered into an Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement (the "RPA"). The RPA matures on November 4, 2024 and is subject to customary termination events related to transactions of this type.
Under the RPA, the Receivables Subsidiary may sell receivables to the Purchasers in amounts up to a $100,000 limit. The receivables will be sold to the Purchasers in consideration for the Purchasers making payments of cash, which is referred to as "capital" for purposes of the RPA, to the Receivables Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the RPA. The Receivables Subsidiary may sell receivables to the Purchasers so long as certain conditions are satisfied, including that, at any date of determination, the aggregate capital paid to the Receivables Subsidiary does not exceed a "capital coverage amount", equal to an adjusted net receivables pool balance minus a required reserve. Each Purchaser's share of capital accrues yield at a floating rate plus an applicable margin.
The parties intend that the conveyance of receivables to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers will constitute a purchase and sale of receivables and not a pledge for security. The Receivables Subsidiary has guaranteed to each Purchaser and Agent the prompt payment of sold receivables, and to secure the prompt payment and performance of such guaranteed obligations, the Receivables Subsidiary has granted a security interest to the Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, in all assets of the Receivables Subsidiary. The assets of the Receivables Subsidiary are not available to pay our creditors or any affiliate thereof. In our capacity as master servicer under the RPA, we are responsible for administering and collecting receivables and have made customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities. We also provided a performance guarantee for the benefit of the Purchaser.
The proceeds of the RPA are classified as operating activities in our Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows and were used to pay off the outstanding balance of the Securitization Program. Cash received from collections of sold receivables is used by the Receivables Subsidiary to fund additional purchases of receivables on a revolving basis or to return all or any portion of outstanding capital of the Purchaser. Subsequent collections on the pledged receivables, which have not been sold, will be classified as operating cash flows at the time of collection. Total receivables sold under the RPA were $122,947 and $255,716 for the three and six months ended April 2, 2022, respectively. Total cash collections under the RPA were $112,518 and $155,716 for the three and six months ended April 2, 2022, respectively. The fair value of the sold receivables approximated book value due to their credit quality and short-term nature, and as a result, no gain or loss on sale of receivables was recorded.
As of April 2, 2022, the amount sold to the Purchasers was $100,000, which was derecognized from the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. As collateral against sold receivables, the Receivables Subsidiary maintains a certain level of unsold receivables, which was $596,419 as of April 2, 2022.
Previously we securitized certain trade receivables in transactions that were accounted for as secured borrowings (the "Securitization Program"). We maintained a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables that were securitized. The retained interest, which is included in Receivables in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, is recorded at fair value, which approximates the total amount of the designated pool of accounts receivable. Refer to Note 9 - Indebtedness, for additional disclosures related to the Securitization Program.
The allowance for credit losses is based on our assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The allowance is determined by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of the accounts receivable, current economic conditions and reasonable forecasted financial information that may affect a customer’s ability to pay.

Note 7 - Leases
We lease certain manufacturing facilities, office space and machinery and equipment globally. At inception we evaluate whether a contractual arrangement contains a lease. Specifically, we consider whether we control the underlying asset and have the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits or outputs from the asset. If the contractual arrangement contains a lease, we then determine the classification of the lease, operating or finance, using the classification criteria described in ASC 842. We then determine the term of the lease based on terms and conditions of the contractual arrangement, including whether the options to extend or terminate the lease are reasonably certain to be exercised. We have elected to not separate lease components from non-lease components, such as common area maintenance charges and instead, account for the lease and non-lease components as a single component.
Our lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and our lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. Operating lease ROU assets are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Finance lease ROU assets are included in Property, plant and equipment and finance lease liabilities are included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Operating lease cost is included in Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Finance lease cost is included in Cost of sales, Selling, general and administrative and Interest on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.
The ROU assets and lease liabilities for both operating and finance leases are recognized as of the commencement date at the net present value of the fixed minimum lease payments over the term of the lease, using the discount rate described below. Variable lease payments are recorded in the period in which the obligation for the payment is incurred. Variable lease payments based on an index or rate are initially measured using the index or rate as of the commencement date of the lease and included in the fixed minimum lease payments. For short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less as of the commencement date, we do not recognize a ROU asset or lease liability on our balance sheet; we recognize expense as the lease payments are made over the lease term.
The discount rate used to calculate the present value of our leases is the rate implicit in the lease. If the information necessary to determine the rate implicit in the lease is not available, we use our incremental borrowing rate for collateralized debt, which is determined using our credit rating and other information available as of the lease commencement date.

Our U.S. revolving credit facility, which matures on October 15, 2024, has a capacity of $1,100,000 and provides an expansion option, which permits us to request an increase of up to $400,000 to the credit facility upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets. The loan agreement contains various covenants which, among others, specify interest coverage and maximum leverage. We are in compliance with all covenants.
The SECT has a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $35,000, maturing on July 26, 2024. Interest is based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin. A commitment fee is also charged based on a percentage of the unused amounts available and is not material.
At April 2, 2022, we had $500,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior notes due December 15, 2027 with interest paid semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, which commenced on June 15, 2020. The senior notes are unsecured obligations, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain subsidiaries and contain normal incurrence-based covenants and limitations such as the ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make other restricted payments and investments, create liens and certain corporate acts such as mergers and consolidations. The aggregate net proceeds were used to repay indebtedness under our U.S. revolving credit facility, thereby increasing the unused portion of our U.S. revolving credit facility.
The Securitization Program was extended on October 29, 2021, effectively increasing our borrowing capacity by up to $80,000. Under the Securitization Program, we sold certain trade receivables and related rights to an affiliate, which in turn sold an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the trade receivables to a financial institution, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. Interest for the Securitization Program was based on 30-day LIBOR plus an applicable margin. A commitment fee was also charged based on a percentage of the unused amounts available and was not material. The agreement governing the Securitization Program contained restrictions and covenants which included limitations on the making of certain restricted payments, creation of certain liens, and certain corporate acts such as mergers, consolidations and sale of substantially all assets. The Securitization Program had a minimum borrowing requirement equal to the lesser of either 80% of our borrowing capacity or 100% of our borrowing base, which was a subset of the trade receivables sold under this agreement. See Note 4 - Receivables, for information related to the amended and restated RPA, which replaced the Securitization Program.

In the ordinary course of business, we warrant our products against defects in design, materials and workmanship typically over periods ranging from twelve to sixty months. We determine warranty reserves needed by product line based on historical experience and current facts and circumstances. Activity in the warranty accrual is summarized as follows:
We principally use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign exchange risk related to foreign operations and foreign currency transactions and interest rate risk associated with long-term debt. We enter into derivative financial instruments with a number of major financial institutions to minimize counterparty credit risk.
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments
We use foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges to effectively fix the exchange rates on future payments and revenue. To mitigate exposure in movements between various currencies, including the Philippine peso and the British pound, we had outstanding foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of $51,047 at April 2, 2022. These contracts mature at various times through September 1, 2023.
We use forward currency contracts to hedge our net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. As of April 2, 2022, we had no outstanding net investment hedges.
Interest rate swaps are used to adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable and fixed interest rates. The interest rate swaps are designated as hedges of the amount of future cash flows related to interest payments on variable-rate debt that, in combination with the interest payments on the debt, convert a portion of the variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. At April 2, 2022, we had no outstanding interest rate swaps.
Foreign currency contracts, net investment hedges and interest rate swaps are recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at fair value and the related gains or losses are deferred in Shareholders’ Equity as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCIL"). These deferred gains and losses are reclassified into the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings, as necessary, during the periods in which the related payments or receipts affect earnings. However, to the extent the foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps are not perfectly effective in offsetting the change in the value of the payments and revenue being hedged, the ineffective portion of these contracts is recognized in earnings immediately. Ineffectiveness was not material in the first six months of 2022 or 2021.
We also have foreign currency exposure on balances, primarily intercompany, that are denominated in a foreign currency and are adjusted to current values using period-end exchange rates. The resulting gains or losses are recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. To minimize foreign currency exposure, we had foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of $101,673 at April 2, 2022. The foreign currency contracts are recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at fair value and resulting gains or losses are recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. We recorded the following gains and losses on foreign currency contracts which are included in other income or expense and generally offset the gains or losses from the foreign currency adjustments on the intercompany balances that are also included in other income or expense:

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. The definition of the fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.
Level 3 – Inputs for which significant valuation assumptions are unobservable in a market and therefore value is based on the best available data, some of which is internally developed and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.
Our derivatives are valued using various pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses that incorporate observable market data, such as interest rate yield curves and currency rates, and are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
The following table presents the fair values and classification of our financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, all of which are classified as Level 2, except for the acquisition contingent consideration, which is classified as Level 3:

Our only financial instrument for which the carrying value differs from its fair value is long-term debt. At April 2, 2022, the fair value of long-term debt was $816,825 compared to its carrying value of $838,200. The fair value of long-term debt is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and was estimated based on quoted market prices.
Property, plant and equipment, inventories and receivables have been measured at fair values on a nonrecurring basis using future discounted cash flows and other observable inputs (Level 3) and are not included in the fair value tables above. Impairment losses of $16,941 for the three months ended April 2, 2022, are recorded as a result of these measurements and are described in Note 4 - Receivables, Note 5 - Inventories and Note 6 - Property, Plant and Equipment.
In 2022, we initiated restructuring actions in relation to portfolio shaping activities in our Space and Defense and Industrial Systems segments and for slower than expected business recovery in our Aircraft Controls segment. These actions have and will result in workforce reductions, principally in the U.S., U.K. and Europe. The 2022 restructuring charge consists of non-cash charges related to an inventory write-down of $1,500, equipment of $969 and severance of $6,824 for businesses we are no longer pursuing. Restructuring activity for severance and other costs by segment and reconciliation to consolidated amounts is as follows:

Note 15 - Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended April 2, 2022 were 24.9% and 24.8%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended April 2, 2022 is higher than expected from applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% to earnings before income taxes due to tax on earnings generated outside the U.S.
The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended April 3, 2021 were 21.6% and 23.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended April 3, 2021 is higher than expected from applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% to earnings before income taxes due to tax on earnings generated outside the U.S., partially offset by the benefit of a curtailment gain associated with the termination of a foreign defined benefit pension plan with no associated tax expense in the second quarter.

Note 21 - Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings. We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings which management believes will result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
We are engaged in administrative proceedings with governmental agencies and legal proceedings with governmental agencies and other third parties in the normal course of our business, including environmental matters. We believe that adequate reserves have been established for our share of the estimated cost for all currently pending environmental administrative or legal proceedings and do not expect that these environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In the ordinary course of business we could be subject to ongoing claims or disputes from our customers, the ultimate settlement of which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations. While the receivables and any loss provisions recorded to date reflect management's best estimate of the projected costs to complete a given project, there is still significant effort required to complete the ultimate deliverable. Future variability in internal cost and future profitability is dependent upon a number of factors including deliveries, performance and government budgetary pressures. The inability to achieve a satisfactory contractual solution, further unplanned delays, additional developmental cost growth or variations in any of the estimates used in the existing contract analysis could lead to further loss provisions. Additional losses could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the period in which the loss may be recognized.
We are contingently liable for $24,109 of standby letters of credit issued by a bank to third parties on our behalf at April 2, 2022.
Note 22 - Subsequent Event
On April 28, 2022, we declared a $0.26 per share quarterly dividend payable on issued and outstanding shares of our Class A and Class B common stock on May 31, 2022 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 13, 2022.

OVERVIEW
We are a worldwide designer, manufacturer and systems integrator of high performance precision motion and fluid controls and control systems for a broad range of applications in aerospace and defense and industrial markets.
Within the aerospace and defense market, our products and systems include:
•Defense market - primary and secondary flight controls for military aircraft, turreted weapon systems, stabilization and automatic ammunition loading controls for armored combat vehicles, tactical and strategic missile steering controls and gun aiming controls.
•Commercial aircraft market - primary and secondary flight controls for commercial aircraft.
•Commercial space market - satellite positioning controls and thrust vector controls, as well as integrated space launch vehicles.
In the industrial market, our products are used in a wide range of applications including:
•Industrial automation market - components and systems for injection and blow molding machinery, heavy industry applications for steel and aluminum production, metal forming presses, flight simulation motion control systems and material and automotive structural and fatigue testing systems.
•Medical market - components and systems for enteral clinical nutrition and infusion therapy pumps, CT scan medical equipment, ultrasonic sensors and surgical handpieces and sleep apnea equipment.
•Energy market - control and safety components for steam and gas power generation turbines and oil and gas exploration components and systems.
We operate under three segments, Aircraft Controls, Space and Defense Controls and Industrial Systems. Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, Philippines, United Kingdom, Germany, Czech Republic, Italy, Costa Rica, China, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Japan, Canada, India and Lithuania.
Under ASC 606, 63% of revenue was recognized over time for the quarter ended April 2, 2022, using the cost-to-cost method of accounting. The over-time method of revenue recognition is predominantly used in Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls. We use this method for U.S. Government contracts and repair and overhaul arrangements as we are creating or enhancing assets that the customer controls. In addition, many of our large commercial contracts qualify for over-time accounting as our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
For the quarter ended April 2, 2022, 37% of revenue was recognized at the point in time control transferred to the customer. This method of revenue recognition is used most frequently in Industrial Systems. We use this method for commercial contracts in which the asset being created has an alternative use. We determine the point in time control transfers to the customer by weighing the five indicators provided by ASC 606. When control has transferred to the customer, profit is generated as cost of sales is recorded and as revenue is recognized.
We concentrate on providing our customers with products designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards. Our technical experts work collaboratively around the world, delivering capabilities for mission-critical solutions. These core operational principles are necessary as our products are applied in demanding applications, "When Performance Really Matters®." By capitalizing on these core foundational strengths, we believe we have achieved a leadership position in the high performance, precision controls market. Additionally, these strengths yield a broad control product portfolio, across a diverse base of customers and end markets.
By focusing on customer intimacy and commitment to solving our customers' most demanding technical problems, we have been able to expand our control product franchise to multiple markets; organically growing from a high-performance components manufacturer to a high-performance systems designer, manufacturer and systems integrator. In addition, we continue expanding our content positions on our current platforms, seeking to be the market-leading supplier in the niche markets we serve. We also look for innovation in all aspects of our business, employing new technologies to improve productivity and operational performance.
Our fundamental long-term strategies to achieve our goals center around talent, lean and innovation and include:
•a strong leadership team that has positioned the Company for growth,
•utilizing our global capabilities and strong engineering heritage to innovate,
•maintaining our technological excellence by solving our customers’ most demanding technical problems in applications "When Performance Really Matters®,"
•continuing to invest in talent development to strengthen employee performance, and
•maximizing customer value by implementing lean enterprise principles.
These activities will help us achieve our financial objective of increasing shareholder value with sustainable competitive advantages across our segments. In doing so, we expect to maintain a balanced, diversified portfolio in terms of markets served, product applications, customer bases and geographic presence.
We focus on improving shareholder value through strategic revenue growth, both organic and acquired, through improving operating efficiencies and manufacturing initiatives and through utilizing low cost manufacturing facilities without compromising quality. Historically, we have taken a balanced approach to capital deployment in order to maximize shareholder returns over the long-term. These activities have included strategic acquisitions, share buybacks and dividend payments. We are well positioned to invest in our business. By accelerating the pace of internal investments, both in terms of capital expenditures as well as investments in new market opportunities, we believe we can create more long term value for our shareholders. We will also continue to explore opportunities to make strategic acquisitions and return capital to shareholders.
Acquisitions and Divestitures
All of our acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method and, accordingly, the operating results for the acquired companies are included in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings from the respective dates of acquisition. Under purchase accounting, we record assets and liabilities at fair value and such amounts are reflected in the respective captions on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The purchase price described for each acquisition below is net of any cash acquired, includes debt issued or assumed and the fair value of contingent consideration.
Acquisitions
On February 21, 2022, we acquired TEAM Accessories Limited ("TEAM") based in Dublin, Ireland for a purchase price, net of acquired cash of $15 million, consisting of $12 million in cash and contingent consideration with an initial fair value of $3 million. TEAM specializes in Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul ("MRO") of engine and airframe components. This operation is included in our Aircraft Controls segment.
On December 18, 2020, we acquired Genesys Aerosystems Group, Inc. ("Genesys"), headquartered in Mineral Wells, Texas for a purchase price of $78 million. Genesys designs and manufactures a full suite of electronic flight instrument systems and autopilot solutions. This operation is included in our Aircraft Controls segment.
Divestitures
On December 3, 2021, we sold the assets of our Navigation Aids ("NAVAIDS") business based in Salt Lake City, Utah previously included in our Aircraft Controls segment to Thales. We received proceeds of $39 million at closing and recorded a gain of $16 million, net of transaction costs. The sale is subject to customary post closing working capital and other adjustments, including amounts currently held in escrow.
In the first quarter of 2021, we sold a non-core business in our Aircraft Controls segment for $2 million in net consideration and recorded a minimal loss.
On a regular basis, we evaluate the critical accounting policies used to prepare our consolidated financial statements, including revenue recognition on long-term contracts, contract reserves, reserves for inventory valuation, reviews for impairment of goodwill, reviews for impairment of long-lived assets, pension assumptions and income taxes.

COVID-19 IMPACTS ON OUR BUSINESS
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted businesses on a global scale, led to significant volatility in financial markets and affected the aviation and industrial industries. Substantially all of our operations and production activities have, to-date, remained operational. However, the impacts of the pandemic have placed labor and supply chain pressures on our business and we have been impacted by customer demand variability. Although we saw stable and growing backlogs during the first half of 2022 across a number of our end markets, COVID-19 related disruptions are ongoing and continue to adversely challenge our business. The demand variability is most notable in our commercial aircraft business. While we remain bullish about the commercial aircraft business, we believe the recovery to pre-pandemic activity will take longer than originally anticipated. As economic activity continues to recover, we will continue to monitor the situation, assessing further possible implications on our operations, supply chain, liquidity, cash flow and customer orders.

Net sales increased in the second quarter and in the first half of 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021 across all of our segments, particularly in our defense and commercial aftermarket programs.
Gross margin in the second quarter of 2022 increased compared to the second quarter of 2021. The increase was driven by a more favorable sales mix within both Aircraft Controls and Industrial Systems. Gross margin decreased in the first half of 2022 compared to the first half of 2021. The second quarter's favorable sales mix was offset by operational inefficiencies across our segments in the first quarter of 2022.
Research and development expenses in the second quarter and in the first half of 2022 were in line with the same periods of 2021. Higher investment activity in Industrial Systems was offset by reduced spending in Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls.
During the first half of 2022, selling, general and administrative expenses increased as compared to the first half of 2021. These increases were attributable to increased investments in operations to support the current business environment.
The first quarter of 2022 included a $16 million benefit from the sale of our NAVAIDS business. Our portfolio shaping activities, primarily due to the NAVAIDS business sale, contributed a net $0.33 of diluted earnings per share. In the second quarter of 2022, we incurred $15 million of asset impairments and $8 million of restructuring expenses, primarily in Aircraft Controls, due to business resizing and continued portfolio shaping activities. In addition, we recognized $2 million in asset impairments and inventory write-down charges associated with Russian actions in Ukraine. These charges had an impact of $0.59 on diluted earnings per share. We expect the second quarter's restructuring and impairment benefits to average $4 million per quarter for the next four quarters.
The change in twelve-month backlog at April 2, 2022 as compared with the twelve-month backlog at April 3, 2021 was driven by increases in all segments. Twelve-month backlog increased in Industrial Systems due to recovering demand for our core industrial products. The increase in backlog within Space and Defense Controls was due to increases in space satellite programs and by higher orders for defense control programs. Backlog also increased in Aircraft Controls due to the receipt of commercial OEM orders, which was partially offset by various military programs.
Operating profit, as presented below, is net sales less cost of sales and other operating expenses, excluding interest expense, equity-based compensation expense and other corporate expenses. Cost of sales and other operating expenses are directly identifiable to the respective segment or allocated on the basis of sales, manpower or profit. Operating profit is reconciled to earnings before income taxes in Note 19 - Segments in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this report.

Aircraft Controls' net sales increased in the second quarter of 2022 and in the first half of 2022 as compared to the same periods of 2021. These increases are attributed to stronger commercial aftermarket sales, somewhat offset by a decrease in military OEM program sales.
In the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021, sales increased $16 million in commercial aftermarket, with $12 million on the 787. The 787 aftermarket growth reflects recovering international travel and one-time test equipment sales. Our commercial OEM programs were up marginally in the second quarter, as increased sales across our business jets and legacy Boeing programs were mostly offset by lower 787 OEM sales.
Military OEM sales decreased $16 million from the second quarter of 2021. The timing of orders and material receipts affecting F-35 and foreign military programs decreased sales $16 million. The prior year's quarter included $5 million of sales from our NAVAIDS business, which we divested in the first quarter of 2022. These decreases were partially offset by $7 million of increased sales across our helicopter programs. Within military aftermarket, sales increased $7 million. Higher repair volume increased V-22 and F-15 sales $3 million each.
The sales increases in the first half of 2022 compared to the first half of 2021 were largely due to the same factors as the second quarter. As we continue to see recovery within the commercial aircraft market, OEM sales increased $28 million. OEM sales to Airbus, primarily driven by the A350, increased $14 million, business jet sales increased $12 million and sales for Genesys programs increased $4 million. Commercial aftermarket sales also increased $25 million across all of our programs. Somewhat offsetting these increases was a $29 million decrease in military OEM sales, primarily on the F-35 and foreign military programs.
Operating margin increased slightly through the first half of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Included in this increase was the divestiture of our NAVAIDS business completed as part of our portfolio shaping activities, resulting in a $16 million gain. Offsetting this increase in the second quarter of 2022 was $15 million of impairment and $4 million of restructuring expenses. We made adjustments to our staffing and asset base due to delays in our major customers' expected volume recoveries. The benefits from these actions are expected to average $3 million per quarter for the next four quarters. Excluding the charges in the second quarter, adjusted operating margin was 10.0%. Adjusted operating margin for the first half of 2022 was 9.3% excluding both the second quarter charges and the gain from the NAVAIDS sale. The adjusted operating margin increase, as compared to the first half of 2021, was driven by a more favorable sales mix from higher military and commercial aftermarket sales.
Space and Defense Controls' net sales increased in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021, due to continued growth in our defense market. In the first half of 2022 compared to the first half of 2021, net sales increased as a result of continued growth within both our space and defense markets.
In the second quarter of 2022 compared with the second quarter of 2021, sales in our defense market increased $18 million, as strong growth of our RIwP SHORAD program increased sales $19 million. The defense increase was marginally offset by a $1 million sales decrease in our space market. The timing of hypersonic development activity and the completion of orders across our heritage space components business decreased sales $12 million. Mostly offsetting these declines was an $11 million sales increase from our satellite business.
The sales increases in the first half of 2022 compared to the first half of 2021 were largely due to the same factors as the second quarter. Through the first half of the year, sales in our defense market increased $28 million, led by a $30 million sales increase in our RIwP program. In addition, sales for our space programs increased $9 million as development work, including our satellite business, was partially offset by the timing of hypersonic activity and satellite controls.
The second quarter of 2022 included $2 million of restructuring charges as we continued our portfolio refinement activities and resized our business. Excluding these charges, adjusted operating margin for the second quarter of 2022 was 11.6%. Combined with the inventory write-down charge in the first quarter, adjusted operating margin for the first half of 2022 was 11.3%. Continued COVID-19 related direct labor inefficiencies contributed to the lower margins.
Net sales in Industrial Systems increased in the second quarter and in the first half of 2022 compared to the second quarter and the first half of 2021. These increases were driven by recoveries in our simulation and test and energy markets. Weaker foreign currencies, primarily the Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar, decreased sales $6 million and $8 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2022 and the first half relative to the same periods of 2021.
In the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021, sales within our simulation and test market increased $10 million. This reflects demand recovery in flight training activity. Also, sales increased $4 million in our energy market, driven by higher on-shore and off-shore generation and exploration activity. Partially offsetting these increases was a $3 million sales decline in our medical market from lower component sales for ventilator applications.
The sales increases in the first half of 2022 compared to the first half of 2021 were largely due to the same factors as the second quarter. Sales increased $12 million in our simulation and test market and $7 million in our energy market. In addition, within our industrial automation market, sales increased $6 million as customers continued to build capacity to meet recovering demand. For the first half of 2022, sales in our medical market decreased $11 million, due to both lower component and medical device sales.
Operating margin decreased in the first half of 2022 compared to the first half of 2021. In the second quarter of 2022, we incurred a $2 million impairment charge on assets associated with Russian actions in Ukraine, and an additional $2 million of restructuring charges related to our portfolio refinement activities. Excluding these charges, adjusted operating margin was 10.5% for the second quarter and 9.3% for the first half of 2022. In the first quarter of 2022, as part of our continued portfolio refinement activities, we incurred moving expenses and production disruptions as we consolidated facilities in Europe and the US. These activities further reduced our operating margin.
2022 Outlook – We expect higher sales across all segments in 2022. We expect operating margin will increase due to the gain on the NAVAIDS sale, as well as operational improvements within Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls. A portion of this margin improvement will be offset by charges associated with continued portfolio shaping activities and resizing the business. As a result, we expect our earnings per share range to be between $5.04 and $5.44, with a midpoint of $5.24. Excluding the $16 million NAVAIDS gain and the first half charges, which include $15 million in impairment charges, $8 million in restructuring charges and $2 million in charges from Russian actions in Ukraine, we expect our adjusted earnings per share will range between $5.30 and $5.70, with a midpoint of $5.50. This adjusted outlook is unchanged from the prior quarter's outlook. Management believes that the adjusted outlook may be useful in evaluating the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.
2022Outlook for Aircraft Controls– We expect 2022 sales within commercial aircraft to increase due to higher activity in our OEM programs, combined with general recoveries within business jets and strong commercial aftermarket sales. We also expect that military sales will decrease marginally. Lower F-35 OEM activity, foreign military sales and the sales from the NAVAIDS business we divested in the first quarter of 2022, will be partially offset by increases from helicopters and funded development programs. We expect operating margin will increase in 2022 due to improvement in labor utilization and productivity rates.
2022Outlook for Space and Defense Controls – We expect 2022 sales in Space and Defense Controls will increase in both markets. Within our defense market, we expect higher sales from the ramp up of our RIwP program, and higher component sales. We expect the sales increase in our space market to be driven by higher sales from advanced missions and satellites, partially offset by timing on hypersonic program activity. We expect operating margin to remain in line with 2021 as incremental margin on higher sales, primarily in our defense market, is offset by our performance in the first half of the year.
2022 Outlook for Industrial Systems – We expect an increase in Industrial Systems' sales in 2022 when compared to 2021. We anticipate strong sales within our simulation and test market as flight simulation activity recovers. We also expect a modest sales increase within our energy business. We expect operating margin will decrease in 2022 as compared to 2021, as our ongoing portfolio shaping activities will offset the benefit of our growing backlog.
Our available borrowing capacity and our cash flow from operations have provided us with the financial resources needed to make organic investments, fund acquisitive growth and return capital to shareholders.
At April 2, 2022, our cash balances were $122 million, which were primarily held outside of the U.S. Cash flow from our U.S. operations, together with borrowings on our credit facility, fund on-going activities, debt service requirements and future growth investments.
Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased in the first half of 2022 compared to the first half of 2021. The first half of 2022 included $100 million from our receivables purchase agreement. Excluding this benefit, cash provided by operating activities decreased. In accounts receivable, we used $56 million more in cash, exclusive of the receivables purchasing agreement. This is due, in part, to the timing of invoicing from strong sales late in the second quarter. Also, accounts receivable increased in commercial aircraft programs where our production level was higher than the rate at which our customers took deliveries.
Investing activities
Net cash used by investing activities in the first half of 2022 included $74 million for capital expenditures, as we increased investments in facilities to support growth and provide next generation manufacturing capabilities. Also, the first half of 2022 included $12 million for the acquisition of TEAM Accessories. These cash outflows were partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of the NAVAIDS business.
Net cash used by investing activities in the first half of 2021 included $78 million for our acquisition of Genesys and $58 million for capital expenditures. Capital expenditures in 2021 were constrained in response to COVID-19 uncertainty.
Financing activities
Net cash used by financing activities in the first half of 2022 included $72 million of net paydown on our credit facilities. Additionally, financing activities in the first half of 2022 included $17 million of share repurchases and $16 million of cash dividends.
Net cash provided by financing activities in the first half of 2021 included $35 million of net proceeds on our credit facilities. Additionally, financing activities in the first half of 2021 included $18 million to fund our stock repurchase program and $16 million of cash dividends.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any material off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
Our contractual obligations and commercial commitments have not changed materially from the disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 2, 2021.
We maintain bank credit facilities to fund our short and long-term capital requirements, including acquisitions. From time to time, we also sell debt and equity securities to fund acquisitions or take advantage of favorable market conditions.
Our U.S. revolving credit facility, which matures on October 15, 2024, has a capacity of $1.1 billion and also provides an expansion option, which permits us to request an increase of up to $400 million to the credit facility upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The U.S. revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of $320 million at April 2, 2022. The weighted-average interest rate on the majority of the outstanding credit facility borrowings was 1.92% and is principally based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which was 1.50% at April 2, 2022. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets.
The U.S. revolving credit facility contains various covenants. The minimum for the interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of EBITDA to interest expense for the most recent four quarters, is 3.0. The maximum for the leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of net debt to EBITDA for the most recent four quarters, is 4.0. We are in compliance with all covenants. EBITDA is defined in the loan agreement as (i) the sum of net income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, other non-cash items reducing consolidated net income and non-cash equity-based compensation expenses minus (ii) other non-cash items increasing consolidated net income.
We are generally not required to obtain the consent of lenders of the U.S. revolving credit facility before raising significant additional debt financing; however, certain limitations and conditions may apply that would require consent to be obtained. In recent years, we have demonstrated our ability to secure consents to access debt markets. We have also been successful in accessing equity markets from time to time. We believe that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing as needed.
The SECT has a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $35 million, maturing on July 26, 2024. Interest was 2.54% as of April 2, 2022 and is based on LIBOR plus a margin of 2.13%. As of April 2, 2022, there were $17 million of outstanding borrowings.
We have $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior notes due December 15, 2027 with interest paid semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, which commenced on June 15, 2020. The senior notes are unsecured obligations, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain subsidiaries and contain normal incurrence-based covenants and limitations such as the ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make other restricted payments and investments, create liens and certain corporate acts such as mergers and consolidations. The aggregate net proceeds were used to repay indebtedness under our U.S. bank facility, thereby increasing the unused portion of our U.S. revolving credit facility.
On November 4, 2021, the Receivables Subsidiary, a wholly owned bankruptcy remote special purpose subsidiary of the Company, as seller, the Company, as master servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as the Agent and the Purchasers entered into an Amended and Restated RPA. The RPA matures on November 4, 2024 and is subject to customary termination events related to transactions of this type.
Under the RPA, the Receivables Subsidiary may sell receivables to the Purchasers in amounts up to a $100 million limit. The receivables will be sold to the Purchasers in consideration for the Purchasers making payments of cash, which is referred to as "capital" for purposes of the RPA, to the Receivables Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the RPA. The Receivables Subsidiary may sell receivables to the Purchasers so long as certain conditions are satisfied, including that, at any date of determination, the aggregate capital paid to the Receivables Subsidiary does not exceed a "capital coverage amount", equal to an adjusted net receivables pool balance minus a required reserve. Each Purchaser's share of capital accrues yield at a floating rate plus an applicable margin, which totaled 1.34% as of April 2, 2022.
The parties intend that the conveyance of receivables to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers will constitute a purchase and sale of receivables and not a pledge for security. The Receivables Subsidiary has guaranteed to each Purchaser and Agent the prompt payment of sold receivables, and to secure the prompt payment and performance of such guaranteed obligations, the Receivables Subsidiary has granted a security interest to the Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, in all assets of the Receivables Subsidiary. The assets of the Receivables Subsidiary are not available to pay our creditors or any affiliate thereof. In our capacity as master servicer under the RPA, we are responsible for administering and collecting receivables and have made customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities. We also provided a performance guarantee for the benefit of the Purchaser.
Cash received from collections of sold receivables is used by the Receivables Subsidiary to fund additional purchases of receivables on a revolving basis or to return all or any portion of outstanding capital of the Purchaser. As of April 2, 2022, the amount sold to the Purchasers and derecognized was $100 million.
Previously, we securitized certain trade receivables that were accounted for as secured borrowings (the “Securitization Program”). The Securitization Program was extended on October 29, 2021, providing up to $80 million of borrowing capacity and lowered our cost to borrow funds as compared to the U.S. revolving credit facility. Under the Securitization Program, we sold certain trade receivables and related rights to an affiliate, which in turn sold an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the trade receivables to a financial institution, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. The Securitization Program had a minimum borrowing requirement equal to the lesser of either 80% of our borrowing capacity or 100% of our borrowing base, which was a subset of the trade receivables sold under this agreement. Interest on the secured borrowings under the Securitization Program was based on 30-day LIBOR plus an applicable margin.
At April 2, 2022, we had $785 million of unused capacity, including $756 million from the U.S. revolving credit facility after considering standby letters of credit. Our leverage ratio covenant limits our ability to increase net debt by $581 million as of April 2, 2022.
Net debt to capitalization was 33% at April 2, 2022 and 36% at October 2, 2021. The decrease in net debt to capitalization is primarily due to the repayment of outstanding borrowings.
We declared and paid cash dividends of $0.25 and $0.26per share on our Class A and Class B common stock in the first and second quarters of 2022, respectively. We declared and paid cash dividends of $0.25per share on our Class A and Class B common stock in the first and second quarters of 2021.
The Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program that authorizes repurchases for both Class A and Class B common stock, and allows us to buy up to an aggregate 3 million common shares. Under this program, since inception we purchased approximately 482,000 shares for $37 million.
We are well positioned to invest in our business and by accelerating the pace of internal investments, both in terms of capital expenditures as well as investments in new market opportunities, we believe we can create more long term value for our shareholders. We will also continue to explore opportunities to make strategic acquisitions and return capital to shareholders.
We operate within the aerospace and defense and industrial markets. Our businesses continue to face varying levels of supply chain and production level pressures from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our defense and aerospace businesses represented 69% of our 2021 sales. Within the defense market, our programs are directly affected by funding levels, which have remained relatively stable. Our commercial aircraft market, which represented less than 15% of our 2021 sales, continues to face the greatest pressure due to dramatic reductions in air travel throughout the past two years. While domestic travel has recovered, international travel remains below pre-pandemic levels.
Within our industrial markets, which represented 31% of our 2021 sales, we have seen recent signs of recovery within industrial automation, simulation and test and energy markets. However, as customer demand increases, we are now experiencing supply chain pressures and direct labor inefficiencies. Our medical business, which represented less than 10% of our 2021 sales, experienced a surge in demand for our medical applications essential in the fight against the pandemic. This surge in demand has waned, as our customers have resized their inventory levels.
A common factor throughout our markets is the continuing demand for technologically advanced products.
Aerospace and Defense
Within aerospace and defense, we serve three end markets: defense, commercial aircraft and space.
The defense market is dependent on military spending for development and production programs. We have a growing development program order book for future generation aircraft and hypersonic missiles, and we strive to embed our technologies within these high-performance military programs of the future. Aircraft production programs are typically long-term in nature, offering predictable capacity needs and future revenues. We maintain positions on numerous high priority programs, including the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, FA-18E/F Super Hornet and V-22 Osprey. The large installed base of our products leads to attractive aftermarket sales and service opportunities. The tactical and strategic missile, missile defense and defense controls markets are dependent on many of the same market conditions as military aircraft, including overall military spending and program funding levels. At times when there are perceived threats to national security, U.S. defense spending can increase; at other times, defense spending can decrease. The enacted U.S. Department of Defense budget for the government's fiscal year 2022 included an increase in defense spending from the prior year. Future levels of defense spending are uncertain, subject to presidential and congressional approval, and could increase in the near-term given the current global tensions.
The commercial OEM aircraft market has depended on a number of factors, including both the last decade's increasing global demand for air travel and increasing fuel prices. Both factors contributed to the demand for new, more fuel-efficient aircraft with lower operating costs that led to large production backlogs for Boeing and Airbus. However, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic drastically reduced air traffic as travel restrictions were implemented to help control the spread of the virus. Although U.S. domestic air travel has recently increased, international travel has not yet fully recovered. Given the uncertain length of this pandemic and associated restrictions to long distance travel, the commercial wide-body aircraft market will take longer to recover. Furthermore, as companies and employees become accustomed to working remotely, business travel and the associated flight hours may not reach the pre-pandemic levels. As such, we believe Boeing and Airbus will continue to directionally match their wide-body aircraft production rates with the reduced air traffic volume, which has lowered their demand for our flight control systems. We believe the commercial OEM market's recovery is heavily dependent on the return to pre-COVID-19 air traffic activity levels and therefore will face pressures for a prolonged period of time.
The commercial aftermarket is driven by usage and the age of the existing aircraft fleet for passenger and cargo aircraft, which drives the need for maintenance and repairs. While there were initial dramatic reductions in flight hours and airlines took cash preservation measures due to the impacts of COVID-19, we have seen a recovery in the demand volume for our maintenance services and spare parts.
The space market is comprised of four customer markets: the civil market, the U.S. Department of Defense market, the commercial space market and the new space market. The civil market, namely NASA, is driven by investment for commercial and exploration activities, including NASA's return to the moon. The U.S. Department of Defense market is driven by governmental-authorized levels of defense spending, including funding for hypersonic defense technologies. Levels of U.S. defense spending could increase as there is growing emphasis on space as the next frontier of potential future conflicts. The commercial space market is comprised of large satellite customers, which traditionally sell to communications companies. Trends for this market, as well as for commercial launch vehicles, follow demand for increased capacity. This, in turn tends to track with underlying demand for increased consumption of telecommunication services, satellite replacements and global navigation needs. The new space market is driven by investments to increase the speed and access to space through smaller satellites at reduced cost.
Industrial
Within industrial, we serve two end markets: industrial, consisting of industrial automation products, simulation and test products and energy generation and exploration products; and medical.
The industrial market we serve with our industrial automation products is influenced by several factors including capital investment levels, the pace of product innovation, economic conditions, cost-reduction efforts, technology upgrades and the subsequent effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The industrial market remains on the path to recovery, with benchmark indices showing continued strong expansion. As our industrial market continues to recover, ongoing supply chain constraints continue to impact our operations. We are unable to predict the extent to which the pandemic and related impacts will continue to affect our business.
Our simulation and test products operate in markets that were largely affected by the same factors and investment challenges stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we are seeing stronger order demand for flight simulation systems as the airline market recovers beyond the pandemic-related constrained spending.
Our energy generation and exploration products operate in a market that is influenced by changing oil and natural gas prices, global urbanization and the resulting change in supply and demand for global energy. Historically, drivers for global growth include investments in power generation infrastructure and exploration of new oil and gas resources. Recently, we have seen oil prices rise above pre-pandemic levels due, in part, to global disruptions.
The medical market we serve, in general, is influenced by economic conditions, regulatory environments, hospital and outpatient clinic spending on equipment, population demographics, medical advances, patient demands and the need for precision control components and systems. When the COVID-19 pandemic altered the way hospitals provided care by asking non-critical patients to recuperate at home, our medical devices products saw an increase in orders. This surge in demand has waned, as our customers have resized their inventory levels.
Foreign Currencies
We are affected by the movement of foreign currencies compared to the U.S. dollar, particularly in Aircraft Controls and Industrial Systems. About one-fifth of our 2021 sales were denominated in foreign currencies. During the first six months of 2022, average foreign currency rates generally weakened against the U.S. dollar compared to 2021. The translation of the results of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars decreased sales by $9 million compared to the same period one year ago.
