## LETTER TO
SHAREHOLDERS

Donald E. Washkewicz Chairman of the Board, Lee G. Banks President and Chief Operating Officer, Thomas L. Williams Chief Executive Officer (left to right).



Competing and winning in today’s challenging global markets will require Parker to build on the strong foundation we have in place while setting a new course with strategies that take our performance to the next level. The Win Strategy, first introduced in 2001, has been the framework for how we have operated for a decade and a half. Its success serves as a powerful legacy to our Chairman, Don Washkewicz, for his visionary leadership as CEO. Lee Banks and I are honored to be handed the responsibility to build on the success that has come before us.

Six months ago we set out to redefine what it will take to leverage our strengths and allow Parker to be a consistent top quartile performer among our diversified industrial proxy peer companies. We met with hundreds of Parker employees and leaders in every region of the world, we tapped the minds of our experienced Board members and engaged collaboratively with our shareholders. The culmination of that work is a new Win Strategy. Using this as a guide to our actions and as a yardstick for our progress, we are striving to achieve new financial and operational performance targets designed to reward Parker shareholders for their investment.

## FISCAL YEAR 2015

## PERFORMING IN
A CHALLENGING
MARKET

In fiscal year 2015, Parker faced significant challenges such as a wavering global macroeconomic environment, second-half weakness in key end markets that pressured order rates and the effects of the strengthening U.S. dollar. We took actions to adjust to these conditions, including the completion of a voluntary retirement program in the U.S. and a broad range of other cost reduction initiatives implemented globally. These actions allowed us to deliver another year of strong financial performance.

- Total net sales were $12.7 billion, a 4% decrease from the previous year. The decline in sales was driven mainly by the effect of currency rate changes and masked some bright spots including a double-digit increase in sales from innovative new products.

- Total adjusted segment operating margin was 14.9%, representing a 50 basis point (bps) improvement from the previous year. Strong performance despite a decline in sales.

- Net income was $1.01 billion, or $6.97 per share. Adjusted earnings per share were $7.25, an increase of 4% compared to the prior year.
- Cash flow from operations for fiscal year 2015 was $1.3 billion, or 10.2% of sales, representing the 14th consecutive year that Parker has generated operating cash greater than 10% of sales before discretionary pension contributions.

• We continued to deploy capital efficiently to return value to shareholders. We increased the quarterly dividend by 31% during the fiscal year, and have now increased dividends for 59 consecutive fiscal years. In October 2014, we also announced a plan to purchase $2 to $3 billion worth of our own shares over two years and, during fiscal year 2015, we repurchased $1.4 billion in shares of Parker stock.

- Fortune magazine named Parker among its most admired companies, citing innovation as a top reputation attribute.

Throughout fiscal year 2015, we underwent a series of restructuring activities designed to reduce fixed costs and improve profitability. Restructuring programs will continue in fiscal year 2016 and, combined with our new Simplification initiative, are expected to build a stronger, more agile Parker capable of generating consistent, long-term profitable growth. Going forward we expect challenging market conditions with a bottom forming sometime during fiscal year 2016. Despite a slight overall decrease

## THE NEW WIN
STRATEGY

We are excited and optimistic about the opportunities we have to build on our past successes as we set course with a new Win Strategy. While many of the core principles of the original Win Strategy remain in place, there are emerging opportunities that enable us to ramp up our performance.

Our future begins with an increasing focus on our employees – the Parker team members. High engagement is directly correlated to exceptional performance. To drive this engagement we will be prioritizing a culture of environmental, health and safety, entrepreneurialism and a High Performance Team structure. We realize the value of our collective efforts. The team members closest to the work know what is needed to improve performance. Our strategy is to utilize natural High Performance Teams with specific responsibilities and ownership. By encouraging an “owners” mentality and aligning incentives with that of our shareholders, we aim to create an environment for continuous improvement and for attracting and retaining a talented workforce. Customer service has been a longstanding priority for Parker, but the new Win Strategy introduces the concept of customer experience and expands the standards we hold ourselves to in meeting our customers’ needs. We are setting big, bold delivery and quality goals. In addition, Parker will work to ensure that customers’ expectations are exceeded, leaving a positive impression and increasing the likelihood of repeat or increased sales from Parker.

While numerous touchpoints with Parker will define the customer experience and make it easier to do business with us, in an increasingly digital world, Parker will place greater emphasis on building an online experience that creates a destination point for the motion and control industry. Our eBusiness strategy will create new opportunities for customers to increase their understanding of Parker’s capabilities, find products and services that match their needs, self-serve or get support for existing products and place orders online.

Through our engaged team members and by providing a premier customer experience, we are in a position to accelerate growth. With the new Win Strategy, we have built a roadmap that will re-energize our sales and help us achieve target organic growth 150 bps greater than the market.
Market-driven innovation to improve our products, systems and services is a key component of our growth strategy. Parker has continued to invest in the research and development of new products and systems, and established a beachhead in the delivery of new service capabilities. Both areas present exciting new growth opportunities.

Innovation strategies will balance the need to develop new-to-the-market, new-to-the-world solutions with near-term improvements, modifications and extensions to existing products that can generate more immediate commercial success. For example, Parker has partnered with GE, a leading supplier to locomotive manufacturers, for an innovative Tier IV engine oil filtration system. The technology not only reduces emissions but protects the engine to greatly improve reliability and eliminate the threat of costly downtime caused by contamination. Systems innovation will be important as we target generating 40% of sales from systems. In fiscal year 2015, Parker was selected by multiple customers to supply systems to transfer energy from battery modules to the utility grid in many global applications.



Our services strategy will center on the significant potential offered by the Internet of Things (IoT) as we expand the use of our web-enabled solutions across our broad technology platform to better serve our customers by improving uptime, reducing safety risks and optimizing processes. To drive this opportunity across our operations, we recently created a new role of Corporate Vice President - eBusiness, IoT and Services.

In July 2015, we made an equity investment in Exosite LLC, a company that has deployed IoT solutions across several of our global operating divisions during the past two years. Exosite's industry-leading software has already been implemented in the Parker Sporlan Smart Service Tool Kit and powers Parker Transair's SCOUT technology. These capabilities and other services will be deployed across our installed base of products to generate new service revenue streams for Parker.

In addition to organic growth strategies, we intend to continue our long history of being a great acquirer and integrator in the highly fragmented motion and control industry. In July 2015, we completed two transactions. We purchased President Engineering Group Ltd. (PEGL) based in Sheffield, United Kingdom with annual sales of approximately $30 million. PEGL specializes in the design and manufacture of technically advanced, cryogenic valves for marine liquefied natural gas and industrial gas applications. We also acquired Ezi-Hose Pty. Limited based in Perth, Australia with annual sales of approximately $18 million.

Parker’s distribution network has been in development for more than 50 years and stands as one of our greatest competitive strengths in addressing the maintenance, repair and overhaul market. Typically counter-cyclical, this channel also carries higher margin sales. While we target a balance of OEM and aftermarket sales in our diversified industrial segment, which we have achieved in the U.S., significant opportunity exists in international markets to grow this channel to better balance our sales and improve margins.

These growth strategies, in unison, create opportunities for Parker to outpace the growth in our markets and increase our share of the $120 billion motion and control industry.

Total shareholder returns are highly correlated to year-over-year growth in earnings and return on invested capital. Driving our sales growth and better leveraging that growth through higher segment operating margins will be key to increasing total shareholder returns.
We have established an aggressive target to reach 17% operating income margin in five years. Numerous opportunities exist for Parker to drive better margin performance. For example, Parker is a key supplier of systems to many new aircraft expected to enter into service in the next several years. The amount of research and development expense historically required to support this business has begun to come down. In addition, margin improvement strategies within the EMEA region, ongoing supply chain reductions, lean enterprise and value pricing are also expected to contribute to profitability.

A new initiative to increase margins comes from a strategy we call Simplification. Across our entire enterprise, we see a myriad of opportunities to make improvements that reduce organizational complexity in the following four areas:

• In many of our businesses, the last 5% of sales requires a disproportionate amount of our resources to service those sales. Opportunities exist to more efficiently service that “long tail” of product sales.

• In addition to traditional manufacturing restructuring, we want to strategically optimize our organizational structure and processes.



• While we are committed to our decentralized division operating structure, in some cases we have sub-optimized divisions and created overlap in others. We have already begun consolidating divisions in our operating groups.

• We also see opportunities to reduce the bureaucracy that naturally develops as part of a large global enterprise.

We expect our Simplification strategies to not only reduce operating costs but also increase speed and growth and create a better experience for our customers.

## LOOKING AHEAD

Although success under the new Win Strategy will be achieved in stages, we will not be patient. Many actions are already underway and more will be jumpstarted as we roll out the new strategy to our team members in the months ahead. Speed will be a common theme across our operations because speed wins tomorrow’s customer.

Throughout this annual report you will read details about the goals, strategies and measures of success for the new Win Strategy. If I were to sum up what I believe to be important for each of our four goals it would include the following highlights:
Engaged People
High engagement and ownership by our team members drives exceptional performance.

Premier Customer Experience
Moving from a service mindset
to creating a great customer
experience enables growth.

Profitable Growth
Implement strategies to grow
organically 150 bps faster than the
market.

Financial Performance
Top quartile financial performance
versus our diversified industrial
proxy peer group, with year-over-
year growth in earnings.

Beyond these goals, a company like Parker owes its success, reputation and legacy to a strong culture and the values that our team members aspire to each day. We have a competitive and compassionate culture with a defined set of values that reflect who we are as a company. It is the reinforcement of this strong foundation, more than any other measure, that will determine our success in the future.

All of us at Parker see tremendous opportunities to leverage our strengths and create a meaningful and positive contribution to society, our communities, our customers and our shareholders. In doing so, we create opportunities for our team members to succeed as we share a common vision of Engineering Your Success.
Building on the legacy that has come before us is a significant challenge. Lee and I are fortunate to be surrounded by a cadre of talented leaders to help us navigate the path forward and we are thankful for the hard work, dedication and support of all of our team members. We also appreciate the guidance of Don and our Board during this leadership transition and you, our shareholders, for sharing our confidence in Parker’s long-term success.

Sincerely,

## Management’s Discussion and Analysis

## Overview

The Company is a leading worldwide diversified manufacturer of motion and control technologies and systems, providing precision engineered solutions for a wide variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets.

The Company’s order rates provide a near-term perspective of the Company’s outlook particularly when viewed in the context of prior and future order rates. The Company publishes its order rates on a quarterly basis. The lead time between the time an order is received and revenue is realized generally ranges from one day to 12 weeks for mobile and industrial orders and from one day to 18 months for aerospace orders. The Company believes the leading economic indicators of these markets that have a correlation to the Company’s future order rates are as follows:

• Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) on manufacturing activity specific to regions around the world with respect to most mobile and industrial markets;

• Global aircraft miles flown and global revenue passenger miles for commercial aerospace markets and Department of Defense spending for military aerospace markets; and

• Housing starts with respect to the North American residential air conditioning market and certain mobile construction markets.

A PMI above 50 indicates that the manufacturing activity specific to a region of the world in the mobile and industrial markets is expanding. A PMI below 50 indicates the opposite. Recent PMI levels for some regions around the world were as follows:

<table><tr><td></td><td>June 30, 2015</td><td>March 31, 2015</td><td>June 30, 2014</td></tr><tr><td>United States</td><td>53.5</td><td>51.5</td><td>55.3</td></tr><tr><td>Eurozone countries</td><td>52.5</td><td>52.2</td><td>51.8</td></tr><tr><td>China</td><td>49.4</td><td>49.6</td><td>50.7</td></tr><tr><td>Brazil</td><td>46.5</td><td>46.2</td><td>48.7</td></tr></table>

Global aircraft miles flown and global revenue passenger miles have both increased approximately seven percent from their comparable 2014 level. The Company anticipates that U.S. Department of Defense spending with regards to appropriations, and operations and maintenance for the U.S. Government’s fiscal year 2015 will increase by approximately one percent from the comparable fiscal 2014 level.

Housing starts in June 2015 were approximately 27 percent higher than housing starts in both March 2015 and June 2014.

The Company has remained focused on maintaining its financial strength by adjusting its cost structure to reflect changing demand levels, maintaining a strong balance sheet and managing its cash. The Company continues to generate substantial cash flows from operations, has controlled capital spending and has proactively managed working capital. The Company has been able to borrow needed funds at affordable interest rates and had a debt to debt-shareholders' equity ratio of 36.6 percent at June 30, 2015 compared to 39.7 percent at March 31, 2015 and 25.9 percent at June 30, 2014. Net of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and other investments, the debt to debt-shareholders' equity ratio was 16.8 percent at June 30, 2015 compared to 20.9 percent at March 31, 2015 and 2.0 percent at June 30, 2014.

The Company believes many opportunities for growth are available. The Company intends to focus primarily on business opportunities in the areas of energy, water, food, environment, defense, life sciences, infrastructure and transportation.



The Company believes it can meet its strategic objectives by:

• Serving the customer and continuously enhancing its experience with the Company;

• Successfully executing its Win Strategy initiatives relating to premier customer service, financial performance and profitable growth;

• Maintaining its decentralized division and sales company structure;

• Fostering an entrepreneurial culture;

• Engineering innovative systems and products to provide superior customer value through improved service, efficiency and productivity;

The Company will continue to assess its existing businesses and initiate efforts to divest businesses that are not considered to be a good long-term strategic fit for the Company. Future business divestitures could have a negative effect on the Company’s results of operations.

The discussion below is structured to separately discuss each of the financial statements presented on pages 24 to 27. All year references are to fiscal years.

## Discussion of Consolidated Statement of Income

The Consolidated Statement of Income summarizes the Company’s operating performance over the last three fiscal years.

<table><tr><td>(dollars in millions)</td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>Net sales</td><td>$12,712</td><td>$13,216</td><td>$13,016</td></tr><tr><td>Gross profit margin</td><td>24.0%</td><td>22.9%</td><td>22.5%</td></tr><tr><td>Selling, general and administrative expenses</td><td>$1,545</td><td>$1,634</td><td>$1,555</td></tr><tr><td>Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percent of sales</td><td>12.2%</td><td>12.4%</td><td>11.9%</td></tr><tr><td>Goodwill and intangible asset impairment</td><td>$—</td><td>$189</td><td>$—</td></tr><tr><td>Interest expense</td><td>118</td><td>83</td><td>92</td></tr><tr><td>Other (income), net</td><td>(43)</td><td>(26)</td><td>(18)</td></tr><tr><td>Loss (gain) on disposal of assets</td><td>4</td><td>(409)</td><td>(10)</td></tr><tr><td>Effective tax rate</td><td>29.3%</td><td>33.1%</td><td>27.6%</td></tr><tr><td>Net income attributable to common shareholders</td><td>$1,012</td><td>$1,041</td><td>$948</td></tr></table>

NET SALES in 2015 were 3.8 percent lower than 2014. Acquisitions made in the last 12 months contributed approximately $14 million in sales in 2015 and the effect of currency rate changes decreased net sales in 2015 by approximately $547 million. Excluding the effect of acquisitions and currency rate changes, net sales in 2015 were essentially unchanged from 2014 as an increase in volume experienced in the Diversified Industrial North American operations and the Aerospace Systems Segment was offset by lower volume experienced in the Diversified Industrial International operations. Net sales in 2014 were 1.5 percent higher than 2013. Acquisitions made during 2014 contributed approximately $74 million in sales and the effect of currency rate changes decreased net sales in 2014 by approximately $22 million. Excluding the effect of acquisitions and currency rate changes, net sales in 2014 were 1.1 percent higher than 2013. The increase in sales in 2014 is primarily due to higher volume experienced in the Diversified Industrial International operations partially offset by lower sales in the Aerospace Systems Segment.

GROSS PROFIT MARGIN increased in 2015 primarily due to lower business realignment charges in the Diversified Industrial International operations and lower product support costs in the Aerospace Systems Segment. Gross profit margin increased in 2014 primarily due to lower defined benefit costs, and a favorable product mix in the Diversified Industrial North American operations, partially offset by higher business realignment charges in the Diversified Industrial International operations and higher product support costs and an unfavorable product mix in the Aerospace Systems Segment. Foreign currency transaction (gain) loss (relating to cash, marketable securities and other investments and intercompany transactions) included in cost of sales for 2015, 2014 and 2013 were $(77.8) million, $5.4 million and $22.4 million, respectively. Pension cost included in cost of sales in 2015, 2014 and 2013 were $169.8 million, $174.8 million and $205.7 million, respectively. The lower pension cost in 2014 primarily resulted from a lower amount of actuarial losses, primarily related to domestic defined benefit plans. Included in cost of sales in 2015, 2014 and 2013 were business realignment charges of $19.4 million, $63.6 million and $8.4 million, respectively.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES decreased 5.5 percent in 2015 and increased 5.1 percent in 2014. The decrease in 2015 was primarily due to lower business realignment charges and stock compensation expense, partially offset by higher net expenses associated with the Company’s deferred compensation programs. Stock compensation expense decreased primarily as a result of a lower number of stock awards granted in 2015. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2014 was primarily due to higher business realignment charges and stock compensation expense, partially offset by lower expenses associated with the Company’s various other incentive compensation programs. Stock compensation expense in 2014 increased primarily as a result of a higher stock price used in the calculation of the fair value of the stock awards at the date of grant. Pension cost included in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2015, 2014 and 2013 were $69.6 million, $64.2 million and $78.5 million, respectively. The lower pension cost in 2014 primarily resulted from a lower amount of actuarial losses, primarily related to domestic defined benefit plans. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2015, 2014 and 2013 were business realignment charges of $12.9 million, $38.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSET IMPAIRMENT related to the Worldwide Energy Products Division. Refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

INTEREST EXPENSE in 2015 increased primarily due to a higher weighted-average interest rate on borrowings. The higher weighted-average interest rate primarily resulted from the issuance of $1,500 million of medium-term notes during the second quarter of 2015. Interest expense in 2014 decreased primarily due to a lower average interest rate in the debt portfolio, including lower average borrowing rates on commercial paper borrowings, more than offsetting the effect of higher weighted-average borrowings.

OTHER (INCOME), NET in 2015 and 2014 includes $23.2 million and $11.1 million of income, respectively, related to the Company’s equity interests in joint ventures.



LOSS (GAIN) ON DISPOSAL OF ASSETS includes a gain of $412.6 million related to the deconsolidation of a subsidiary in 2014 and a net gain of $14.7 million resulting from business divestiture activity in 2013.

EFFECTIVE TAX RATE in 2015 was favorably impacted by the re-enactment of the U.S. Research and Development credit, an increase in the federal manufacturing deduction and the absence of discrete tax costs incurred in the prior year. These benefits were partially offset by an unfavorable geographic mix of earnings. The effective tax rate in 2014 was unfavorably impacted by discrete tax costs related to a non-deductible goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge, the deconsolidation of a subsidiary and the expiration of the U.S. Research and Development credit.

## Discussion of Business Segment Information

The Business Segment information presents sales, operating income and assets on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which the Company’s various businesses are managed for internal review and decision-making.

DIVERSIFIED INDUSTRIAL SEGMENT

<table><tr><td>(dollars in millions)</td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>Sales</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>North America</td><td>$5,716</td><td>$5,694</td><td>$5,638</td></tr><tr><td>International</td><td>4,741</td><td>5,288</td><td>5,110</td></tr><tr><td>Operating income</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>North America</td><td>956</td><td>946</td><td>909</td></tr><tr><td>International</td><td>584</td><td>572</td><td>602</td></tr><tr><td>Operating income as a percent of sales</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>North America</td><td>16.7%</td><td>16.6%</td><td>16.1%</td></tr><tr><td>International</td><td>12.3%</td><td>10.8%</td><td>11.8%</td></tr><tr><td>Backlog</td><td>$1,586</td><td>$1,861</td><td>$1,803</td></tr><tr><td>Assets</td><td>8,765</td><td>9,502</td><td>9,388</td></tr><tr><td>Return on average assets</td><td>16.9%</td><td>16.1%</td><td>16.7%</td></tr></table>

Sales in 2015 for the Diversified Industrial North American operations remained relatively flat compared to a 1.0 percent increase from 2013 to 2014. Acquisitions completed within the last 12 months contributed approximately $7 million in sales in 2015 and the effect of currency exchange rates decreased sales in 2015 by $50 million. Excluding acquisitions and the effect of currency rate changes, sales in 2015 in the Diversified Industrial North American operations increased 1.2 percent from 2014 reflecting higher demand from distributors as well as from end-users in the car and light truck, heavy-duty truck, refrigeration and air conditioning and construction equipment markets, partially offset by lower demand in the farm and agriculture equipment market. Excluding acquisitions and the effect of currency rate changes, sales in 2014 increased slightly as higher demand from distributors as well as from end-users in the construction equipment and oil and gas markets was partially offset by lower end-user demand in the heavy-duty truck, farm and agriculture equipment, engine, and car and light truck markets.

Sales in the Diversified Industrial International operations decreased 10.3 percent in 2015 compared to an increase of 3.5 percent from 2013 to 2014. Acquisitions completed within the last 12 months contributed approximately $7 million in sales in 2015. The effect of currency rate changes decreased sales by $487 million, reflecting the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against most currencies. Excluding acquisitions and the effect of currency rate changes, sales in 2015 in the Diversified Industrial International operations decreased 1.3 percent from 2014 primarily due to higher volume in the Asia Pacific region being more than offset by lower volume in Europe, approximately two-thirds of which was due to the absence of sales from divested businesses, and in Latin America. Excluding acquisitions and the effect of currency rate changes, sales in 2014 in the Diversified Industrial International operations increased 3.1 percent from 2013, primarily due to higher volume in all regions with 50 percent of the increase occurring in the Asia Pacific region and one-third of the increase occurring in Europe. The absence of sales from divested businesses was also a contributing factor to the sales fluctuation between 2013 and 2014 in both the Diversified Industrial North American and Diversified Industrial International operations.

The increase in operating margins in 2015 in the Diversified Industrial North American operations was primarily due to the higher sales volume, a favorable product mix and manufacturing efficiencies, partially offset by higher warehouse, shipping, and manufacturing support costs, research and development expenses and raw material costs. Diversified Industrial North American margins in 2015 were also adversely affected by a voluntary retirement expense of $12.7 million. The increase in operating margins in 2015 in the Diversified Industrial International operations was primarily due to lower fixed overhead costs and lower business realignment charges in the current-year, partially offset by higher raw material costs due to changes in currency exchange rates. The increase in operating margins in 2014 in the Diversified Industrial North American operations was primarily due to the higher sales volume, a favorable product mix and lower raw material prices, partially offset by higher intangible asset amortization expense related to 2013 acquisitions. The decrease in operating margins in 2014 in the Diversified Industrial International operations was primarily due to higher business realignment charges and associated operating inefficiencies, partially offset by the impact of the higher sales volume and a favorable product mix.

The following business realignment charges are included in Diversified Industrial North America and Diversified Industrial International operating income:

<table><tr><td>(dollars in millions)</td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>Diversified Industrial North America</td><td>$ 4</td><td>$ 2</td><td>$ 3</td></tr><tr><td>Diversified Industrial International</td><td>27</td><td>99</td><td>10</td></tr></table>

The business realignment charges consist primarily of severance costs resulting from plant closures as well as general reductions in work force. The majority of the Diversified Industrial International business realignment charges were incurred in Europe. The Company does not anticipate that cost savings realized from the work force reductions taken during 2015 in the Diversified Industrial North American and International operations will have a material impact on future operating income. In 2016, the Company expects to continue to take actions necessary to structure appropriately the operations of the Diversified Industrial Segment. Such actions are expected to result in approximately $100 million in business realignment charges in 2016.

The Company anticipates Diversified Industrial North American sales for 2016 will range from a decrease of three percent to an increase of one percent from the 2015 level and Diversified Industrial International sales for 2016 will decrease between six percent and two percent from the 2015 level. Diversified Industrial North American operating margins in 2016 are expected to range from 15.9 percent to 16.3 percent and Diversified Industrial International margins are expected to range from 12.4 percent to 13.1 percent.

The decrease in total Diversified Industrial Segment backlog in 2015 was primarily due to shipments exceeding orders in all regions. The increase in total Diversified Industrial Segment backlog in 2014 was primarily due to orders exceeding shipments in the Diversified Industrial North American operations. Backlog consists of written firm orders



from a customer to deliver products and, in the case of blanket purchase orders, only includes the portion of the order for which a schedule or release date has been agreed to with the customer. The dollar value of backlog is equal to the amount that is expected to be billed to the customer and reported as a sale.

The decrease in total Diversified Industrial Segment assets in 2015 was primarily due to the effect of currency rate fluctuations and a decrease in trade accounts receivable, net, non-trade and notes receivable and intangible assets, partially offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents and other assets. The increase in assets in 2014 was primarily due to the effect of currency rate fluctuations and an increase in accounts receivable, partially offset by decreases in goodwill, intangible assets and inventory.

AEROSPACE SYSTEMS SEGMENT

<table><tr><td>(dollars in millions)</td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>Sales</td><td>$2,255</td><td>$2,235</td><td>$2,268</td></tr><tr><td>Operating income</td><td>299</td><td>271</td><td>280</td></tr><tr><td>Operating income as a percent of sales</td><td>13.3%</td><td>12.1%</td><td>12.4%</td></tr><tr><td>Backlog</td><td>$1,756</td><td>$1,994</td><td>$1,936</td></tr><tr><td>Assets</td><td>1,376</td><td>1,359</td><td>1,140</td></tr><tr><td>Return on average assets</td><td>21.9%</td><td>21.7%</td><td>25.8%</td></tr></table>

Sales in 2015 were higher than the 2014 level as higher volume in the commercial original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket businesses was partially offset by lower volume in the military OEM business. Sales in 2014 were lower than the 2013 level as higher volume in the commercial OEM business was offset by the absence of sales from the deconsolidated subsidiary, whose sales are now reported by the joint venture with GE Aviation, as well as lower volume in the military OEM and aftermarket businesses and the commercial aftermarket business.

The higher margin in 2015 was primarily due to the higher sales volume and lower engineering and development costs partially offset by a voluntary retirement expense of $5.4 million. The lower margin in 2014 was primarily due to an unfavorable product mix, the impact of the joint venture with GE Aviation and higher product support costs. Margins in 2015 and 2014 were favorably impacted by the finalization of contract negotiations related to certain programs.

The decrease in backlog in 2015 was primarily due to shipments exceeding orders in all businesses of the Aerospace Systems Segment. The increase in backlog in 2014 was primarily due to orders exceeding shipments in the commercial and military OEM businesses, partially offset by shipments exceeding orders in the military and commercial aftermarket businesses as well as the absence of backlog of the deconsolidated subsidiary. Backlog consists of written firm orders from a customer to deliver products and, in the case of blanket purchase orders, only includes the portion of the order for which a schedule or release date has been agreed to with the customer. The dollar value of backlog is equal to the amount that is expected to be billed to the customer and reported as a sale.

For 2016, sales are expected to increase between one percent and three percent from the 2015 level and operating margins are expected to range from 14.2 percent to 14.8 percent. A higher concentration of commercial OEM volume in future product mix and higher than expected new product development costs could result in lower margins. The increase in assets in 2015 was primarily due to an increase in inventory and other assets, partially offset by a decrease in trade accounts receivable, net. The increase in assets in 2014 was primarily due to the investment in the joint venture with GE Aviation.

CORPORATE general and administrative expenses were $215.4 million in 2015 compared to $181.9 million in 2014 and $185.8 million in 2013. As a percent of sales, corporate general and administrative expenses in 2015 increased to 1.7 percent of sales compared to 1.4 percent in both 2014 and 2013. The higher expense in 2015 was primarily due to an increase in incentive compensation expense and higher net expenses associated with the Company’s deferred compensation programs. Corporate general and administrative expenses in 2015 included $3.1 million in voluntary retirement expense. The lower expense in 2014 was primarily due to lower compensation expense and lower net expenses associated with the Company’s deferred compensation programs, partially offset by higher research and development expense.

Corporate assets decreased 10.8 percent in 2015 compared to an increase of 19.9 percent from 2013 to 2014. The decrease in Corporate assets in 2015 was primarily due to the effect of currency rate fluctuations and changes in cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and other investments, non-trade and notes receivable and other assets. The change in assets in 2014 was primarily due to fluctuations in the amount of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and other investments.

OTHER EXPENSE (INCOME)

Foreign currency transaction primarily relates to the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on cash, marketable securities and other investments and intercompany transactions. A significant portion of the foreign currency transaction gain in 2015 related to intercompany loans and was attributable to the Swiss National Bank lifting the cap on the fluctuation of the exchange rate used to measure the Swiss Franc against the Euro. The Company has since settled these particular intercompany loans. The decrease in stock-based compensation expense in 2015 is primarily due to fewer stock awards granted in 2015. The increase in stock-based compensation in 2014 was primarily due to a higher stock price used in the calculation of the fair value of the stock awards at the date of grant. Included in divestitures and asset sales and writedowns for 2014 is a gain of approximately $413 million resulting from the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. Refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the goodwill and intangible asset impairment.



## Discussion of Consolidated Balance Sheet

The Consolidated Balance Sheet shows the Company’s financial position at year-end, compared with the previous year-end. This discussion provides information to assist in assessing factors such as the Company’s liquidity and financial resources.

<table><tr><td>(dollars in millions)</td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td></tr><tr><td>Cash</td><td>$1,914</td><td>$2,187</td></tr><tr><td>Trade accounts receivable, net</td><td>1,620</td><td>1,858</td></tr><tr><td>Inventories</td><td>1,300</td><td>1,372</td></tr><tr><td>Long-term debt</td><td>2,724</td><td>1,508</td></tr><tr><td>Shareholders&#x27; equity</td><td>5,104</td><td>6,659</td></tr><tr><td>Working capital</td><td>$3,233</td><td>$2,819</td></tr><tr><td>Current ratio</td><td>2.4</td><td>1.9</td></tr></table>

CASH (comprised of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and other investments) includes $1,777 million and $2,126 million held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries at June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. Generally, cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and other investments held by foreign subsidiaries are not readily available for use in the United States without adverse tax consequences. The Company's principal sources of liquidity are its cash flows provided by operating activities, commercial paper borrowings or borrowings directly from its line of credit. The Company does not believe the level of its non-U.S. cash position will have an adverse effect on working capital needs, planned growth, repayment of maturing debt, benefit plan funding, dividend payments or share repurchases.

TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET are receivables due from customers for sales of product. Days sales outstanding relating to trade receivables for the Company was 48 days in both 2015 and 2014. The Company believes that its receivables are collectible and appropriate allowances for doubtful accounts have been recorded.

INVENTORIES decreased $71 million primarily due to the effect of foreign currency translation, which decreased inventories by $107 million. Excluding the effect of foreign currency translation, inventory levels increased in the Aerospace Systems Segment and the Diversified Industrial International operations and inventory levels decreased in the Diversified Industrial North American operations. Days supply of inventory on hand was 65 days in 2015 and 61 days in 2014.

LONG-TERM DEBT increased as the Company issued $1,500 million of medium-term notes in 2015. Refer to Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY activity during 2015 included a decrease of $1,394 million related to share repurchases, a decrease of $765 million related to foreign currency translation adjustments and a decrease of $150 million related to pensions and postretirement benefits.

## Discussion of Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows reflects cash inflows and outflows from the Company’s operating, investing and financing activities.

A summary of cash flows follows:

<table><tr><td>(dollars in millions)</td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>Cash provided by (used in):</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Operating activities</td><td>$ 1,302</td><td>$1,388</td><td>$1,191</td></tr><tr><td>Investing activities</td><td>(579)</td><td>(646)</td><td>(810)</td></tr><tr><td>Financing activities</td><td>(1,045)</td><td>(958)</td><td>576</td></tr><tr><td>Effect of exchange rates</td><td>(111)</td><td>48</td><td>(14)</td></tr><tr><td>Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents</td><td>$ (433)</td><td>$ (168)</td><td>$ 943</td></tr></table>

CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES in 2015 reflects a reduction of $257 million for cash used by working capital items. Cash flow from operating activities in 2014 benefited from a $294 million increase in cash provided by working capital items, partially offset by a $184 million decrease in net income after consideration of non-cash items, including a $413 million gain on the deconsolidation of a subsidiary and a $189 million impairment charge. Refer to Note 2 and Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the gain on deconsolidation and impairment charge, respectively. The Company also made voluntary cash contributions to the Company’s domestic qualified defined benefit plan of $75 million and $226 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively.

CASH FLOWS USED IN INVESTING ACTIVITIES in 2015 includes $356 million in net purchases of marketable securities and other investments. Cash flows used in investing activities in 2014 includes $625 million in purchases of marketable securities and other investments and $202 million in proceeds from the sale of a 50 percent equity interest in a subsidiary related to the joint venture with GE Aviation (refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion).

CASH FLOWS USED IN FINANCING ACTIVITIES during 2015 includes the issuance of $1,500 million of medium-term notes and the repayment of commercial paper notes outstanding at the time of the debt issuance. The Company repurchased 11.1 million common shares for $1,394 million during 2015 as compared to the repurchase of 1.7 million common shares for $200 million in 2014 and 3.0 million common shares for $257 million in 2013. Cash flows used in financing activities during 2014 increased from 2013 primarily due to a lower level of borrowings required to support acquisition activity.

Dividends have been paid for 260 consecutive quarters, including a yearly increase in dividends for the last 59 fiscal years. The current annual dividend rate is $2.52 per common share.

The Company’s goal is to maintain no less than an “A” rating on senior debt to ensure availability and reasonable cost of external funds. As one means of achieving this objective, the Company has established a financial goal of maintaining a ratio of debt to debt-shareholders’ equity of no more than 37 percent.

DEBT TO DEBT-SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY RATIO

<table><tr><td>(dollars in millions)</td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td></tr><tr><td>Debt</td><td>$2,947</td><td>$2,325</td></tr><tr><td>Debt &amp; Shareholders&#x27; Equity</td><td>8,051</td><td>8,984</td></tr><tr><td>Ratio</td><td>36.6%</td><td>25.9%</td></tr></table>

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had a line of credit totaling $2,000 million through a multi-currency revolving credit agreement with a group of banks, all of which was available at June 30, 2015. Refer to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

The Company is currently authorized to sell up to $1,850 million of short-term commercial paper notes. There were no outstanding commercial paper notes as of June 30, 2015, and the largest amount of commercial paper notes outstanding during the last quarter of 2015 was $475 million.

The Company’s credit agreements and indentures governing certain debt agreements contain various covenants, the violation of which would limit or preclude the use of the applicable agreements for future borrowings, or might accelerate the maturity of the related outstanding borrowings covered by the applicable agreements. The Company is in compliance with all covenants and expects to remain in compliance during the term of the credit agreements and indentures.



CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS – The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, for uncertain tax positions was $155.2 million at June 30, 2015. Payment of these obligations would result from settlements with worldwide taxing authorities. Due to the difficulty in determining the timing of the settlements, these obligations are not included in the following summary of the Company’s fixed contractual obligations. References to Notes are to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

<table><tr><td colspan="2">(dollars in millions)</td><td colspan="4">Payments due by period</td></tr><tr><td>Contractual obligations</td><td>Total</td><td>Less than 1 year</td><td>1-3 years</td><td>3-5 years</td><td>More than 5 years</td></tr><tr><td>Long-term debt (Note 9)</td><td>$2,947</td><td>$223</td><td>$499</td><td>$100</td><td>$2,125</td></tr><tr><td>Interest on long-term debt</td><td>1,838</td><td>126</td><td>242</td><td>181</td><td>1,289</td></tr><tr><td>Operating leases (Note 9)</td><td>236</td><td>76</td><td>86</td><td>31</td><td>43</td></tr><tr><td>Retirement benefits (Note 10)</td><td>333</td><td>284</td><td>12</td><td>12</td><td>25</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>$5,354</td><td>$709</td><td>$839</td><td>$324</td><td>$3,482</td></tr></table>

## Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company manages foreign currency transaction and translation risk by utilizing derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, including forward exchange contracts, costless collar contracts, cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign denominated debt designated as net investment hedges. The derivative financial instrument contracts are with major investment grade financial institutions and the Company does not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the counterparties. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Further information on the fair value of these contracts is provided in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Gains or losses on derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through the Consolidated Statement of Income. Gains or losses on derivatives that are hedges are adjusted to fair value through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The translation of the foreign denominated debt that has been designated as a net investment hedge is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and remains there until the underlying net investment is sold or substantially liquidated.

The Company’s debt portfolio contains variable rate debt, inherently exposing the Company to interest rate risk. The Company’s objective is to maintain a 60/40 mix between fixed rate and variable rate debt thereby limiting its exposure to changes in near-term interest rates. A 100 basis point increase in near-term interest rates would increase annual interest expense on variable rate debt existing at June 30, 2015 by approximately $6 million.

## Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements.

## Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The policies discussed below are considered by management to be more critical than other policies because their application places the most significant demands on management’s judgment.

REVENUE RECOGNITION – Substantially all of the Diversified Industrial Segment revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product has shipped and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred or services have been rendered, the price to the customer is fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured, which is generally at the time the product is shipped. The Aerospace Systems Segment recognizes revenues primarily using the percentage-of-completion method and the extent of progress toward completion is primarily measured using the units-of-delivery method. The Company estimates costs to complete long-term contracts for purposes of evaluating and establishing contract reserves. The estimation of these costs requires substantial judgment on the part of management due to the duration of the contractual agreements as well as the technical nature of the products involved. Adjustments to cost estimates are made on a consistent basis and a contract reserve is established when the estimated costs to complete a contract exceed the expected contract revenues.

IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS – Goodwill is tested for impairment, at the reporting unit level, on an annual basis and between annual tests whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value. For the Company, a reporting unit is one level below the operating segment level. Determining whether an impairment has occurred requires the valuation of the respective reporting unit, which the Company has consistently estimated using primarily a discounted cash flow model. The Company believes that the use of a discounted cash flow model results in the most accurate calculation of a reporting unit’s fair value since the market value for a reporting unit is not readily available. The discounted cash flow analysis requires several assumptions including future sales growth and operating margin levels as well as assumptions regarding future industry specific market conditions. Each reporting unit regularly prepares discrete operating forecasts and uses these forecasts as the basis for the assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis. The Company has consistently used a discount rate commensurate with its cost of capital, adjusted for inherent business risks, and an appropriate terminal growth factor. The Company also reconciles the estimated aggregate fair value of its reporting units as derived from the discounted cash flow analysis to the Company’s overall market capitalization.

The results of the Company’s 2015 annual goodwill impairment test performed as of December 31, 2014 indicated that no goodwill impairment existed. During 2014, the Company made a decision to restructure and change the strategic direction of its Worldwide Energy Products Division (EPD). The Company calculated the fair value of EPD using assumptions reflecting the Company’s current strategic direction for this reporting unit, the results of which indicated that the carrying value of EPD exceeded its fair value. As a result, the Company estimated the implied fair value of EPD’s goodwill, which resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $140.3 million. The fair value of EPD was calculated using both a discounted cash flow analysis and estimated fair market values of comparable businesses.

The Company continually monitors its reporting units for impairment indicators and updates assumptions used in the most recent calculation



of the fair value of a reporting unit as appropriate. The Company is unaware of any current market trends that are contrary to the assumptions made in the estimation of the fair value of any of its reporting units. If actual experience is not consistent with the assumptions made in the estimation of the fair value of the reporting units, especially assumptions regarding penetration into new markets and the recovery of the current economic environment, it is possible that the estimated fair value of certain reporting units could fall below their carrying value resulting in the necessity to conduct additional goodwill impairment tests.

Long-lived assets held for use, which primarily includes finite-lived intangible assets and plant and equipment, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by their use over their expected useful lives and eventual disposition are less than their carrying value. The long-term nature of these assets requires the estimation of their cash inflows and outflows several years into the future and only takes into consideration technological advances known at the time of the impairment test. During 2015, there were no events or circumstances that indicated that the carrying value of the Company's long-lived assets held for use were not recoverable. During 2014, in connection with the goodwill impairment review discussed above, the Company determined certain intangible assets of EPD, primarily trademarks and customer lists, and plant and equipment were impaired resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $48.6 million. The fair value of EPD's intangible assets and plant and equipment were determined using the income approach for each asset.

PENSIONS – The annual net periodic expense and benefit obligations related to the Company’s defined benefit plans are determined on an actuarial basis. This determination requires critical assumptions regarding the discount rate, long-term rate of return on plan assets, increases in compensation levels and amortization periods for actuarial gains and losses.

Assumptions are determined based on Company data and appropriate market indicators, and are evaluated each year as of the plans' measurement date. Changes in the assumptions to reflect actual experience as well as the amortization of actuarial gains and losses could result in a material change in the annual net periodic expense and benefit obligations reported in the financial statements. For the Company's domestic qualified defined benefit plan, a 50 basis point change in the assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets is estimated to have an $11 million effect on annual pension expense and a 50 basis point decrease in the discount rate is estimated to increase annual pension expense by $22 million. As of June 30, 2015, $1,225 million of past years' net actuarial losses related to the Company's domestic qualified defined benefit plan are subject to amortization in the future. These losses will generally be amortized over approximately eight years and will negatively affect earnings in the future. Actuarial gains experienced in future years will help reduce the effect of the actuarial loss amortization. Further information on pensions is provided in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

INCOME TAXES – Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s income tax expense and in evaluating tax positions. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities have been recorded for the differences between the financial accounting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities. Factors considered by the Company in determining the probability of realizing deferred income tax assets include forecasted operating earnings, available tax planning strategies and the time period over which the temporary differences will reverse. The Company reviews its tax positions on a regular basis and adjusts the balances as new information becomes available. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon examination by a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information will be recorded. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Further information on income taxes is provided in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

LOSS CONTINGENCIES – The Company has a number of loss exposures incurred in the ordinary course of business such as environmental claims, product liability and litigation reserves. Establishing loss accruals for these matters requires management’s estimate and judgment with regards to risk exposure and ultimate liability or realization. These loss accruals are reviewed periodically and adjustments are made to reflect the most recent facts and circumstances.

## Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-07, “Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).” ASU 2015-07 removes the requirement to categorize all investments within the fair value hierarchy for which the fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient and to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company adopted ASU 2015-07. The changes resulting from the adoption of ASU 2015-07, including revising the prior year presentation, are reflected in the retirement benefits and financial instruments disclosures within Note 10 and Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, respectively. The adoption of ASU 2015-07 did not affect the Company’s results of operations, statement of financial position or statement of cash flows.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest.” ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in the ASU. ASU 2015-03 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect ASU 2015-03 will have a material impact on its statement of financial position or financial statement disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that a company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve this principle, a company must apply five steps including identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when (or as) the company satisfies the performance obligations. Additional quantitative and qualitative disclosure to enhance the understanding about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows is also required. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has not yet determined the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its results of operations, statement of financial position or financial statement disclosures.

The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in the Significant Accounting Policies footnote except that the business segment results are prepared on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which the Company’s management disaggregates financial information for internal review and decision-making.

(a) Includes an investment in a joint venture in which ownership is 50 percent or less and in which the Company does not have operating control (2015 – $251,365; 2014 – $263,246).

(b) Corporate assets are principally cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and other investments, domestic deferred income taxes, deferred compensation plan assets, headquarters facilities and the major portion of the Company’s domestic data processing equipment.

(c) Includes the value of net plant and equipment at the date of acquisition of acquired companies (2013 – $74,439).

(d) Net sales are attributed to countries based on the location of the selling unit. North America includes the United States, Canada and Mexico. No country other than the United States represents greater than 10 percent of consolidated sales. Long-lived assets are comprised of plant and equipment based on physical location.

# Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

## NOTE 1. Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS – The Company is a leading worldwide diversified manufacturer of motion and control technologies and systems, providing precision engineered solutions for a wide variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets. The Company evaluates performance based on segment operating income before corporate and administrative expenses, interest expense and income taxes.

The Diversified Industrial Segment is an aggregation of several business units, which manufacture motion-control and fluid power system components for builders and users of various types of manufacturing, packaging, processing, transportation, agricultural, construction, and military vehicles and equipment. Diversified Industrial Segment products are marketed primarily through field sales employees and independent distributors. The Diversified Industrial North American operations have manufacturing plants and distribution networks throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico and primarily service North America. The Diversified Industrial International operations provide Parker products and services to 47 countries throughout Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa.

The Aerospace Systems Segment produces hydraulic, fuel, pneumatic and electro-mechanical systems and components, which are utilized on virtually every domestic commercial, military and general aviation aircraft and also performs a vital role in naval vessels and land-based weapons systems. This Segment serves original equipment and maintenance, repair and overhaul customers worldwide. Aerospace Systems Segment products are marketed by field sales employees and are sold directly to manufacturers and end-users.

See the table of Business Segment Information on page 25 for further disclosure of business segment information.

There are no individual customers to whom sales are more than four percent of the Company’s consolidated sales. Due to the diverse group of customers throughout the world, the Company does not consider itself exposed to any concentration of credit risks.

The Company manufactures and markets its products throughout the world. Although certain risks and uncertainties exist, the diversity and breadth of the Company’s products and geographic operations mitigate the risk that adverse changes with respect to any particular product and geographic operation would materially affect the Company’s operating results.

USE OF ESTIMATES – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and profits have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements. Within the Business Segment Information, intersegment and interarea sales have been eliminated.

REVENUE RECOGNITION – Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product has shipped and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred or services have been rendered, the price to the customer is fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured, which is generally at the time the product is shipped. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in net sales and the related costs in cost of sales. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenue.

LONG-TERM CONTRACTS – The Company enters into long-term contracts primarily for the production of aerospace products. For financial statement purposes, revenues are primarily recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. The extent of progress toward completion is primarily measured using the units-of-delivery method. Unbilled costs on these contracts are included in inventory. Progress payments are netted against the inventory balances. The Company estimates costs to complete long-term contracts for purposes of evaluating and establishing contract reserves. Adjustments to cost estimates are made on a consistent basis and a contract reserve is established when the estimated costs to complete a contract exceed the expected contract revenues.

CASH – Cash equivalents consist of short-term highly liquid investments, with a three-month or less maturity, carried at cost plus accrued interest, which are readily convertible into cash.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS – Consist of short-term highly liquid investments, with stated maturities of greater than three months from the date of purchase, carried at cost plus accrued interest, and investments classified as available-for-sale, which are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss). Gains and losses on available-for-sale investments are calculated based on the first-in, first-out method. The Company has the ability to liquidate the available-for-sale investments after giving appropriate notice to the issuer.

TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET – Trade accounts receivable are initially recorded at their net collectible amount and are generally recorded at the time the revenue from the sales transaction is recorded. Receivables are written off to bad debt primarily when, in the judgment of the Company, the receivable is deemed to be uncollectible due to the insolvency of the debtor. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $9,284 and $16,040 at June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively.

NON-TRADE AND NOTES RECEIVABLE – The non-trade and notes receivable caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheet is comprised of the following components:

<table><tr><td>June 30,</td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td></tr><tr><td>Notes receivable</td><td>$ 90,470</td><td>$ 117,400</td></tr><tr><td>Reverse repurchase agreements</td><td>113,558</td><td>54,772</td></tr><tr><td>Accounts receivable, other</td><td>160,506</td><td>216,265</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>$364,534</td><td>$388,437</td></tr></table>

Reverse repurchase agreements are collateralized lending arrangements and have a maturity longer than three months from the date of purchase. The Company does not record an asset or liability for the collateral associated with the reverse repurchase agreements.

PLANT, EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION – Plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated principally using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Depreciation rates are based on estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements and building equipment, seven to 10 years for machinery and equipment, and three to eight years for vehicles and office equipment. Improvements, which extend the useful life of property, are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs are expensed. The Company reviews plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value



may not be recoverable. When plant and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the appropriate accounts and any gain or loss is included in current income.

The plant and equipment caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheet is comprised of the following components:

<table><tr><td>June 30,</td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td></tr><tr><td>Land and land improvements</td><td>$ 294,537</td><td>$ 326,008</td></tr><tr><td>Buildings and building equipment</td><td>1,457,650</td><td>1,535,634</td></tr><tr><td>Machinery and equipment</td><td>3,017,011</td><td>3,210,172</td></tr><tr><td>Construction in progress</td><td>93,413</td><td>80,777</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>$4,862,611</td><td>$5,152,591</td></tr></table>

INVESTMENTS AND OTHER ASSETS – Investments in joint-venture companies in which ownership is 50 percent or less and in which the Company does not have operating control are stated at cost plus the Company’s equity in undistributed earnings and amounted to $315,989 and $324,610 at June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. A significant portion of the underlying net assets of the joint ventures are related to goodwill. The Company’s share of earnings from these investments were immaterial to the Company’s results of operations.

GOODWILL – The Company conducts a formal impairment test of goodwill on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS – Intangible assets primarily include patents, trademarks and customer lists and are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line method. Patents are amortized over the shorter of their remaining useful or legal life. Trademarks are amortized over the estimated time period over which an economic benefit is expected to be received. Customer lists are amortized over a period based on anticipated customer attrition rates. The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable.

INCOME TAXES – Income taxes are provided based upon income for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax purposes. Tax credits and similar tax incentives are applied to reduce the provision for income taxes in the year in which the credits arise. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Penalties, if incurred, are recognized in income tax expense.

PRODUCT WARRANTY – In the ordinary course of business the Company warrants its products against defect in design, materials and workmanship over various time periods. The warranty accrual at June 30, 2015 and 2014 is immaterial to the financial position of the Company and the change in the accrual during 2015, 2014 and 2013 was immaterial to the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION – Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates, and income and expenses are translated using weighted-average exchange rates. The effects of these translation adjustments, as well as gains and losses from certain intercompany transactions, are reported in the accumulated other comprehensive (loss) component of shareholders' equity. Such adjustments will affect net income only upon sale or liquidation of the underlying foreign investments, which is not contemplated at this time. Exchange (gains) losses from transactions in a currency other than the local currency of the entity involved are included within cost of goods sold caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income and were $(77,784), $5,398 and $22,380, in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS – The Company has evaluated subsequent events that have occurred through the date of filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. No subsequent events occurred that required adjustment to or disclosure in these financial statements.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS – In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-07, “Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).” ASU 2015-07 removes the requirement to categorize all investments within the fair value hierarchy for which the fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient and to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company adopted ASU 2015-07. The changes resulting from the adoption of ASU 2015-07, including revising the prior year presentation, are reflected in the retirement benefits and financial instruments disclosures within Note 10 and Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, respectively. The adoption of ASU 2015-07 did not affect the Company’s results of operations, statement of financial position or statement of cash flows.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest.” ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in the ASU. ASU 2015-03 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect ASU 2015-03 will have a material impact on its statement of financial position or financial statement disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that a company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve this principle, a company must apply five steps including identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when (or as) the company satisfies the performance obligations. Additional quantitative and qualitative disclosure to enhance the understanding about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows is also required. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has not yet determined the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its results of operations, statement of financial position or financial statement disclosures.

## NOTE 2. Acquisitions, Deconsolidation of Subsidiary and Divestitures

ACQUISITIONS – During 2015, the Company completed four acquisitions whose aggregate sales for their most recent fiscal year prior to acquisition were approximately $27 million. Total purchase price for the four acquisitions was approximately $27 million in cash.



During 2014, the Company completed three acquisitions whose aggregate sales for their most recent fiscal year prior to acquisition were approximately $14 million. Total purchase price for the three acquisitions was approximately $19 million in cash.

During 2013, the Company completed eight acquisitions whose aggregate sales for their most recent fiscal year prior to acquisition were approximately $484 million. Total purchase price for the eight acquisitions was approximately $621 million in cash and $114 million in assumed debt.

The results of operations for all acquisitions are included as of the respective dates of acquisition. The initial purchase price allocation and subsequent purchase price adjustments for acquisitions in 2015, 2014 and 2013 are presented below. Some of the 2015 acquisitions are still subject to purchase price adjustments.

<table><tr><td></td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>Assets:</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Accounts receivable</td><td>$ 7,656</td><td>$ 954</td><td>$ 91,668</td></tr><tr><td>Inventories</td><td>3,099</td><td>2,184</td><td>93,915</td></tr><tr><td>Prepaid expenses</td><td>91</td><td>57</td><td>4,672</td></tr><tr><td>Deferred income taxes</td><td>5</td><td>189</td><td>(1,713)</td></tr><tr><td>Plant and equipment</td><td>1,123</td><td>11,211</td><td>74,439</td></tr><tr><td>Intangible and other assets</td><td>7,794</td><td>5,646</td><td>280,001</td></tr><tr><td>Goodwill</td><td>10,430</td><td>3,195</td><td>317,879</td></tr><tr><td></td><td>30,198</td><td>23,436</td><td>860,861</td></tr><tr><td>Liabilities and equity:</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Notes payable</td><td>—</td><td>—</td><td>11,920</td></tr><tr><td>Accounts payable, trade</td><td>2,689</td><td>915</td><td>46,596</td></tr><tr><td>Accrued payrolls and other compensation</td><td>243</td><td>263</td><td>12,099</td></tr><tr><td>Accrued domestic and foreign taxes</td><td>777</td><td>1</td><td>7,073</td></tr><tr><td>Other accrued liabilities</td><td>5,267</td><td>3,864</td><td>16,805</td></tr><tr><td>Long-term debt</td><td>—</td><td>—</td><td>102,122</td></tr><tr><td>Pensions and other postretirement benefits</td><td>—</td><td>—</td><td>2,125</td></tr><tr><td>Deferred income taxes</td><td>2,604</td><td>—</td><td>39,214</td></tr><tr><td>Other liabilities</td><td>—</td><td>800</td><td>689</td></tr><tr><td>Noncontrolling interests</td><td>—</td><td>—</td><td>1,074</td></tr><tr><td></td><td>11,580</td><td>5,843</td><td>239,717</td></tr><tr><td>Net assets acquired</td><td>$18,618</td><td>$17,593</td><td>$621,144</td></tr></table>

DECONSOLIDATION OF SUBSIDIARY – During 2014, the Company and GE Aviation, a non-related party, finalized a joint venture in which the Company sold a 50 percent equity interest in one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The sale of the 50 percent equity interest in the wholly-owned subsidiary resulted in a loss of control of the subsidiary, and therefore it was deconsolidated from the Company’s financial statements during 2014.

The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $413 million on the deconsolidation, measured as the fair value of the consideration received for the 50 percent equity interest in the former subsidiary and the fair value of the retained investment less the carrying amount of the former subsidiary’s net assets. Approximately $186 million of the pre-tax gain is attributable to the remeasurement of the retained investment in the former subsidiary to its current fair value. The gain is reflected in the loss (gain) on disposal of assets caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income and the other expense (income) caption in the Business Segment Information.
DIVESTITURES – During 2013, the Company completed several divestitures, the primary ones being the automotive businesses of its Mobile Climate Systems division and its Turkey refrigeration components business. The Company recorded a net pre-tax gain during 2013 of approximately $18 million related to these divestitures. The gain is reflected in the loss (gain) on disposal of assets caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

## NOTE 3. Charges Related to Business Realignment

To structure its businesses in light of current and anticipated customer demand, the Company incurred business realignment charges in 2015, 2014 and 2013.

Business realignment charges by business segment are as follows:

<table><tr><td></td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>Diversified Industrial</td><td>$30,882</td><td>$101,524</td><td>$12,234</td></tr><tr><td>Aerospace Systems</td><td>967</td><td>925</td><td>—</td></tr></table>

Work force reductions by business segment are as follows:

<table><tr><td></td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>Diversified Industrial</td><td>668</td><td>1,581</td><td>725</td></tr><tr><td>Aerospace Systems</td><td>21</td><td>44</td><td>—</td></tr></table>

The charges primarily consist of severance costs related to plant closures as well as general work force reductions implemented by various operating units throughout the world, with the majority of charges relating to realignment activities in Europe. Also in 2015, $458 of severance costs for 18 people were included in the Corporate administration caption in the Business Segment Information. In addition, $2,399 and $1,331 of fixed asset write-downs were recognized during 2015 and 2014, respectively, in connection with plant closures in the Diversified Industrial Segment and are reflected in the other expense (income) caption in the Business Segment Information. During 2013, $1,918 of severance costs for 98 people were recognized in connection with the Company’s divestiture of its Turkey refrigeration components business and is reflected in the other expense (income) caption in the Business Segment Information. The Company believes the realignment actions taken will positively impact future results of operations, but will have no material effect on liquidity and sources and uses of capital.

The business realignment charges are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Income as follows:

<table><tr><td></td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>Cost of sales</td><td>$19,419</td><td>$63,575</td><td>$8,354</td></tr><tr><td>Selling, general and administrative expenses</td><td>12,888</td><td>38,874</td><td>3,880</td></tr><tr><td>Loss (gain) on disposal of assets</td><td>2,399</td><td>1,331</td><td>1,918</td></tr></table>

As of June 30, 2015, approximately $17 million in severance payments have been made relating to charges incurred during 2015, the remainder of which are expected to be paid by June 30, 2016. Severance payments relating to prior-year actions are being made as required. Remaining severance payments related to current-year and prior-year actions of approximately $34 million are primarily reflected within the other accrued liabilities caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additional charges may be recognized in future periods related to the realignment actions described above, the timing and amount of which are not known at this time.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company has recorded deferred tax assets of $316,994 resulting from $1,112,078 in loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance of $305,825 related to the loss carryforwards has been established due to the uncertainty of their realization. Of this valuation allowance, $279,850 relates to non-operating entities whose loss carryforward utilization is considered to be remote. Some of the loss carryforwards can be carried forward indefinitely; others can be carried forward from three to 20 years. In addition, a valuation allowance of $24,181 related to future deductible items has been established due to the uncertainty of their realization. These future deductible items are recorded in the other liabilities and reserves line in the table above.

Provision has not been made for additional U.S. or foreign taxes on undistributed earnings of certain international operations as those earnings will continue to be reinvested. It is not practicable to estimate the additional taxes, including applicable foreign withholding taxes, that might be payable on the eventual remittance of such earnings. Accumulated undistributed earnings reinvested in international operations amounted to approximately $3,000,000 at June 30, 2015.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

<table><tr><td></td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>Balance July 1</td><td>$164,813</td><td>$107,440</td><td>$109,735</td></tr><tr><td>Additions for tax positions related to current year</td><td>6,090</td><td>7,752</td><td>10,285</td></tr><tr><td>Additions for tax positions of prior years</td><td>14,989</td><td>55,136</td><td>10,719</td></tr><tr><td>Reductions for tax positions of prior years</td><td>(6,945)</td><td>(1,359)</td><td>(20,683)</td></tr><tr><td>Reductions for settlements</td><td>—</td><td>(1,856)</td><td>(4,266)</td></tr><tr><td>Reductions for expiration of statute of limitations</td><td>(6,251)</td><td>(5,005)</td><td>(437)</td></tr><tr><td>Effect of foreign currency translation</td><td>(27,008)</td><td>2,705</td><td>2,087</td></tr><tr><td>Balance June 30</td><td>$145,688</td><td>$164,813</td><td>$107,440</td></tr></table>

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $83,471, $71,898 and $60,876 as of June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. If recognized, a significant portion of the gross unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2015 would be offset against an asset currently recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The accrued interest related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluded from the amounts above, was $9,514, $8,198 and $5,184 as of June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months, the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits could be reduced by up to approximately $100,000 as a result of the revaluation of existing uncertain tax positions arising from developments in the examination process or the closure of tax statutes. Any increase in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months is expected to be insignificant.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The Company is open to assessment of its federal income tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years after 2011. The Company is also open to assessment for all significant state, local and foreign jurisdictions for fiscal years after 2006.



## NOTE 5. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the year. Common share equivalents represent the dilutive effect of outstanding stock-based awards. The computation of net income per share was as follows:

<table><tr><td></td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>Numerator:</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Net income attributable to common shareholders</td><td>$1,012,140</td><td>$1,041,048</td><td>$948,427</td></tr><tr><td>Denominator:</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Basic - weighted-average common shares</td><td>142,925,327</td><td>149,099,448</td><td>149,218,257</td></tr><tr><td>Increase in weighted-average common shares from dilutive effect of stock-based awards</td><td>2,186,823</td><td>2,344,655</td><td>2,369,774</td></tr><tr><td>Diluted - weighted-average common shares, assuming exercise of stock-based awards</td><td>145,112,150</td><td>151,444,103</td><td>151,588,031</td></tr><tr><td>Basic earnings per share</td><td>$ 7.08</td><td>$ 6.98</td><td>$ 6.36</td></tr><tr><td>Diluted earnings per share</td><td>$ 6.97</td><td>$ 6.87</td><td>$ 6.26</td></tr></table>

For 2015, 2014 and 2013, 1.1 million, 1.2 million and 1.3 million common shares, respectively, subject to stock-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their exercise would be anti-dilutive.

## NOTE 6. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The majority of domestic inventories are valued by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost method and the balance of the Company’s inventories are valued by the first-in, first-out cost method.

Inventories valued on the LIFO cost method were approximately 32 percent of total inventories in 2015 and 30 percent of total inventories in 2014. The current cost of these inventories exceeds their valuation determined on the LIFO basis by $206,233 in 2015 and $208,291 in 2014. Progress payments of $34,820 in 2015 and $61,958 in 2014 are netted against inventories.

The inventories caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheet is comprised of the following components:

<table><tr><td>June 30,</td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td></tr><tr><td>Finished products</td><td>$ 526,708</td><td>$ 532,968</td></tr><tr><td>Work in process</td><td>688,727</td><td>732,294</td></tr><tr><td>Raw materials</td><td>85,024</td><td>106,419</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>$1,300,459</td><td>$1,371,681</td></tr></table>

## NOTE 7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:

<table><tr><td></td><td>Diversified Industrial Segment</td><td>Aerospace Systems Segment</td><td>Total</td></tr><tr><td>Balance June 30, 2013</td><td>$3,125,175</td><td>$98,340</td><td>$3,223,515</td></tr><tr><td>Acquisitions</td><td>3,195</td><td>—</td><td>3,195</td></tr><tr><td>Impairment</td><td>(140,334)</td><td>—</td><td>(140,334)</td></tr><tr><td>Foreign currency translation and other</td><td>84,688</td><td>361</td><td>85,049</td></tr><tr><td>Balance June 30, 2014</td><td>$3,072,724</td><td>$98,701</td><td>$3,171,425</td></tr><tr><td>Acquisitions</td><td>10,430</td><td>—</td><td>10,430</td></tr><tr><td>Divestitures</td><td>(4,757)</td><td>—</td><td>(4,757)</td></tr><tr><td>Foreign currency translation and other</td><td>(234,352)</td><td>(67)</td><td>(234,419)</td></tr><tr><td>Balance June 30, 2015</td><td>$2,844,045</td><td>$98,634</td><td>$2,942,679</td></tr></table>

Acquisitions represent the original goodwill allocation, purchase price adjustments and final adjustments to the purchase price allocation for the acquisitions during the measurement period subsequent to the applicable acquisition dates. The Company’s previously reported results of operations and financial position would not be materially different had the goodwill adjustments recorded during 2015 and 2014 been reflected in the same reporting period that the initial purchase price allocations for those acquisitions were made.

In 2014, the Company made a decision to restructure and change the strategic direction of its Worldwide Energy Products Division (EPD). The Company calculated the fair value of EPD using assumptions reflecting the Company’s updated strategic direction for this reporting unit, the results of which indicated that the carrying value of EPD exceeded its fair value. As a result, the Company estimated the implied fair value of EPD’s goodwill, which resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $140,334. The impairment charge is reflected in the goodwill and intangible asset impairment caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income and in the other expense (income) caption in the Business Segment Information. The fair value of EPD was calculated using both a discounted cash flow analysis and estimated fair market values of comparable businesses with each valuation method having equal weight. Fair value calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis is classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and requires several assumptions including a risk-adjusted interest rate and future sales and operating margin levels.

The Company’s annual impairment tests performed in 2015, 2014 and 2013 resulted in no impairment loss being recognized.

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line method over their legal or estimated useful life. The gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for each major category of intangible asset at June 30 are as follows:

<table><tr><td rowspan="2"></td><td colspan="2">2015</td><td colspan="2">2014</td></tr><tr><td>Gross Carrying Amount</td><td>Accumulated Amortization</td><td>Gross Carrying Amount</td><td>Accumulated Amortization</td></tr><tr><td>Patents</td><td>$ 149,066</td><td>$ 88,540</td><td>$ 160,030</td><td>$ 86,708</td></tr><tr><td>Trademarks</td><td>355,108</td><td>172,187</td><td>391,268</td><td>174,114</td></tr><tr><td>Customer lists and other</td><td>1,369,380</td><td>599,388</td><td>1,481,560</td><td>583,754</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>$1,873,554</td><td>$860,115</td><td>$2,032,858</td><td>$844,576</td></tr></table>



During 2015, the Company acquired intangible assets, either individually or as part of a group of assets, with an initial purchase price allocation and weighted-average life as follows:

<table><tr><td></td><td>Purchase Price Allocation</td><td>Weighted-Average Life</td></tr><tr><td>Patents</td><td>$ 2,642</td><td>12 years</td></tr><tr><td>Trademarks</td><td>1,093</td><td>14 years</td></tr><tr><td>Customer lists and other</td><td>11,797</td><td>16 years</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>$15,532</td><td>15 years</td></tr></table>

Total intangible amortization expense in 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $109,887, $118,782 and $118,516, respectively. Estimated intangible amortization expense for the five years ending June 30, 2016 through 2020 is $100,289, $95,756, $90,872, $83,257 and $75,588, respectively.

Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by their use over their expected useful lives and eventual disposition may be less than their net carrying value. In 2014, in connection with the goodwill impairment review of EPD discussed above, the Company determined that certain intangible assets of EPD, primarily trademarks and customer lists, were impaired resulting in the recognition of a non-cash impairment charge of $43,664. The impairment charge is reflected in the goodwill and intangible asset impairment caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income and in the other expense (income) caption in the Business Segment Information. The fair value of EPD's intangible assets were determined using an income approach for the individual intangible assets. Fair value calculated using an income approach is classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and requires several assumptions including future sales and operating margins expected to be generated from the use of the individual intangible asset.

## NOTE 8. Financing Arrangements

The Company has a line of credit totaling $2,000,000 through a multi-currency revolving credit agreement with a group of banks, all of which was available at June 30, 2015. The credit agreement expires in October 2017; however, the Company has the right to request a one-year extension of the expiration date on an annual basis, which request may result in changes to the current terms and conditions of the credit agreement. Advances from the credit agreement can be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and for the refinancing of existing indebtedness. The credit agreement requires the payment of an annual facility fee, the amount of which would increase in the event the Company's credit ratings are lowered. Although a lowering of the Company's credit ratings would likely increase the cost of future debt, it would not limit the Company's ability to use the credit agreement nor would it accelerate the repayment of any outstanding borrowings.

The Company is currently authorized to sell up to $1,850,000 of short-term commercial paper notes. No commercial paper notes were outstanding at June 30, 2015 and $816,100 were outstanding at June 30, 2014.

In addition to commercial paper notes, notes payable includes short-term lines of credit and borrowings from foreign banks. At June 30, 2015, the Company had $62,548 in lines of credit from various foreign banks, none of which was outstanding at June 30, 2015. Most of these agreements are renewed annually. The weighted-average interest rate on notes payable during both 2015 and 2014 was 0.2 percent. The Company's foreign locations in the ordinary course of business may enter into financial guarantees through financial institutions which enable customers to be reimbursed in the event of nonperformance by the Company.

The Company’s credit agreements and indentures governing certain debt agreements contain various covenants, the violation of which would limit or preclude the use of the applicable agreements for future borrowings, or might accelerate the maturity of the related outstanding borrowings covered by the applicable agreements. At the Company’s present rating level, the most restrictive covenant contained in the credit agreements and the indentures provides that the ratio of secured debt to net tangible assets be less than 10 percent. As of June 30, 2015, the Company does not have any secured debt outstanding. The Company is in compliance with all covenants.

NOTE 9. Debt

<table><tr><td>June 30,</td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td></tr><tr><td>Domestic:</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Fixed rate medium-term notes</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>3.30% to 6.55%, due 2018-2045</td><td>$2,675,000</td><td>$1,175,000</td></tr><tr><td>Foreign:</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Bank loans, including revolving credit</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1% to 11.75%, due 2016</td><td>322</td><td>322</td></tr><tr><td>Euro bonds 4.125%, due 2016</td><td>222,820</td><td>273,860</td></tr><tr><td>Japanese Yen credit facility</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>JPY Libor plus 55 bps, due 2017</td><td>48,960</td><td>59,220</td></tr><tr><td>Other long-term debt, including capitalized leases</td><td>—</td><td>236</td></tr><tr><td>Total long-term debt</td><td>2,947,102</td><td>1,508,638</td></tr><tr><td>Less: Long-term debt payable within one year</td><td>223,142</td><td>496</td></tr><tr><td>Long-term debt, net</td><td>$2,723,960</td><td>$1,508,142</td></tr></table>

Principal amounts of long-term debt payable in the five years ending June 30, 2016 through 2020 are $223,142, $48,960, $450,000, $100,000 and $0, respectively.

During 2015, the Company issued $500,000 aggregate principal amount of ten-year medium-term notes, $500,000 aggregate principal amount of twenty-year medium-term notes and $500,000 aggregate principal amount of thirty-year medium-term notes. The ten-year medium-term notes are due in a balloon payment in November 2024 and carry an interest rate of 3.30 percent. The twenty-year medium-term notes are due in a balloon payment in November 2034 and carry an interest rate of 4.20 percent. The thirty-year medium-term notes are due in a balloon payment in November 2044 and carry an interest rate of 4.45 percent. Interest payments are due semi-annually. Debt issuance costs for all medium-term notes issued were approximately $15,018 and will be amortized over the term of the notes. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the notes issuance to repay outstanding commercial paper borrowings.

LEASE COMMITMENTS – Future minimum rental commitments as of June 30, 2015, under non-cancelable operating leases, which expire at various dates, are as follows: 2016 – $76,433; 2017 – $53,066; 2018 – $32,781; 2019 – $17,935; 2020 – $12,976 and after 2020 – $42,851.

Rental expense in 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $125,657, $131,948 and $133,478, respectively.



## NOTE 10. Retirement Benefits

PENSIONS – The Company has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering eligible employees, including certain employees in foreign countries. Plans for most salaried employees provide pay-related benefits based on years of service. Plans for hourly employees generally provide benefits based on flat-dollar amounts and years of service. The Company also has arrangements for certain key employees which provide for supplemental retirement benefits. In general, the Company’s policy is to fund these plans based on legal requirements, tax considerations, local practices and investment opportunities. The Company also sponsors defined contribution plans and participates in government-sponsored programs in certain foreign countries.

A summary of the Company’s defined benefit pension plans follows:

<table><tr><td>Benefit cost</td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>Service cost</td><td>$ 97,960</td><td>$ 99,929</td><td>$ 107,519</td></tr><tr><td>Interest cost</td><td>176,556</td><td>190,999</td><td>174,152</td></tr><tr><td>Special termination cost</td><td>21,174</td><td>—</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Expected return on plan assets</td><td>(218,938)</td><td>(226,884)</td><td>(211,694)</td></tr><tr><td>Amortization of prior service cost</td><td>9,437</td><td>14,644</td><td>14,472</td></tr><tr><td>Amortization of unrecognized actuarial loss</td><td>152,664</td><td>159,584</td><td>200,849</td></tr><tr><td>Amortization of initial net obligation</td><td>17</td><td>19</td><td>22</td></tr><tr><td>Net periodic benefit cost</td><td>$ 238,870</td><td>$ 238,291</td><td>$ 285,320</td></tr><tr><td>Change in benefit obligation</td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Benefit obligation at beginning of year</td><td>$ 4,749,447</td><td>$ 4,382,563</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Service cost</td><td>97,960</td><td>99,929</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Interest cost</td><td>176,556</td><td>190,999</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Special termination cost</td><td>21,174</td><td>—</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Actuarial loss</td><td>237,896</td><td>277,098</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Benefits paid</td><td>(261,473)</td><td>(286,066)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Plan amendments</td><td>3,033</td><td>(3,503)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Foreign currency translation and other</td><td>(156,890)</td><td>88,427</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Benefit obligation at end of year</td><td>$ 4,867,703</td><td>$ 4,749,447</td><td></td></tr></table>

<table><tr><td colspan="3">Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet</td></tr><tr><td>Other accrued liabilities</td><td>$ (31,206)</td><td>$ (11,333)</td></tr><tr><td>Pensions and other postretirement benefits</td><td>(1,598,190)</td><td>(1,238,840)</td></tr><tr><td>Net amount recognized</td><td>$ (1,629,396)</td><td>$ (1,250,173)</td></tr></table>

<table><tr><td colspan="3">Amounts recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss)</td></tr><tr><td>Net actuarial loss</td><td>$ 1,639,010</td><td>$ 1,434,645</td></tr><tr><td>Prior service cost</td><td>32,126</td><td>37,137</td></tr><tr><td>Transition obligation</td><td>103</td><td>143</td></tr><tr><td>Net amount recognized</td><td>$ 1,671,239</td><td>$ 1,471,925</td></tr></table>

The presentation of the amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) is on a debit (credit) basis and excludes the effect of income taxes. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company initiated a voluntary retirement program under which certain participants in its U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan were offered enhanced retirement benefits. As a result of the program, the Company incurred an increase in its net pension benefit cost of $21,174.

During 2015 and 2014, the Company offered lump-sum distributions to certain participants in its U.S. qualified defined benefit plan. Included in benefits paid in 2015 and 2014 is $81,496 and $110,000, respectively, related to participants who elected to receive lump-sum distributions. No settlement charges were required to be recognized for the lump-sum distribution offerings.

The estimated amount of net actuarial loss, prior service cost and transition obligation that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) into net periodic benefit pension cost in 2016 is $166,683, $7,176 and $16, respectively.

The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit plans was $4,451,047 and $4,258,743 at June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $4,761,438, $4,352,369 and $3,129,803, respectively, at June 30, 2015, and $4,691,350, $4,206,557 and $3,443,515, respectively, at June 30, 2014. The projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $4,821,675 and $3,188,293, respectively, at June 30, 2015, and $4,709,493 and $3,459,097, respectively, at June 30, 2014.

The Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $278 million to its defined benefit pension plans in 2016, the majority of which relate to its U.S. qualified defined benefit plan. Estimated future benefit payments in the five years ending June 30, 2016 through 2020 are $225,953, $244,912, $209,742, $241,699 and $258,332, respectively and $1,325,348 in the aggregate for the five years ending June 30, 2021 through June 30, 2025.

The assumptions used to measure net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s significant defined benefit plans are:

<table><tr><td></td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>U.S. defined benefit plans</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Discount rate</td><td>4.05%</td><td>4.52%</td><td>3.91%</td></tr><tr><td>Average increase in compensation</td><td>5.12%</td><td>5.13%</td><td>5.21%</td></tr><tr><td>Expected return on plan assets</td><td>7.5%</td><td>8.0%</td><td>8.0%</td></tr><tr><td>Non-U.S. defined benefit plans</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Discount rate</td><td>0.9 to 4.2%</td><td>1.5 to 4.59%</td><td>1.75 to 4.7%</td></tr><tr><td>Average increase in compensation</td><td>2.0 to 5.0%</td><td>2.0 to 6.0%</td><td>2.0 to 6.0%</td></tr><tr><td>Expected return on plan assets</td><td>1.0 to 6.25%</td><td>1.0 to 6.25%</td><td>1.0 to 6,4%</td></tr></table>

The assumptions used to measure the benefit obligation for the Company’s significant defined benefit plans are:

<table><tr><td></td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td></tr><tr><td>U.S. defined benefit plans</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Discount rate</td><td>4.19%</td><td>4.05%</td></tr><tr><td>Average increase in compensation</td><td>5.14%</td><td>5.12%</td></tr><tr><td>Non-U.S. defined benefit plans</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Discount rate</td><td>0.7 to 6.0%</td><td>0.9 to 4.2%</td></tr><tr><td>Average increase in compensation</td><td>2.0 to 5.5%</td><td>2.0 to 5.0%</td></tr></table>



The discount rate assumption is based on current rates of high-quality long-term corporate bonds over the same estimated time period that benefit payments will be required to be made. The expected return on plan assets assumption is based on the weighted-average expected return of the various asset classes in the plans' portfolio. The asset class return is developed using historical asset return performance as well as current market conditions such as inflation, interest rates and equity market performance.

The weighted-average allocation of the majority of the assets related to defined benefit plans is as follows:

<table><tr><td></td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td></tr><tr><td>Equity securities</td><td>41%</td><td>42%</td></tr><tr><td>Debt securities</td><td>47%</td><td>48%</td></tr><tr><td>Other investments</td><td>12%</td><td>10%</td></tr><tr><td></td><td>100%</td><td>100%</td></tr></table>

The weighted-average target asset allocation as of June 30, 2015 is 41 percent equity securities, 47 percent debt securities and 12 percent other investments. The investment strategy for the Company's worldwide defined benefit pension plan assets focuses on achieving prudent actuarial funding ratios while maintaining acceptable levels of risk in order to provide adequate liquidity to meet immediate and future benefit requirements. This strategy requires investment portfolios that are broadly diversified across various asset classes and external investment managers. Assets held in the U.S. defined benefit plans account for approximately 71 percent of the Company's total defined benefit plan assets. The Company's overall investment strategy with respect to the Company's U.S. defined benefit plans is to opportunistically migrate from its traditional mix between growth seeking assets (primarily consisting of global public equities in developed and emerging countries and hedge fund of fund strategies) and income generating assets (primarily consisting of high quality bonds, both domestic and global, emerging market bonds, high yield bonds and Treasury Inflation Protected Securities) to an allocation more heavily weighted toward income generating assets. Over time, long duration fixed income assets are being added to the portfolio. These securities are highly correlated with the Company's pension liabilities and will serve to hedge a portion of the Company's interest rate risk.

Cash and cash equivalents, which include repurchase agreements and other short-term investments, are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

Equity securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. U.S. based companies include Company stock with a fair value of $154,660 as of June 30, 2015 and $167,157 as of June 30, 2014.

Fixed income securities are valued using both market observable inputs for similar assets that are traded on an active market and the closing price on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

Mutual funds are valued using the closing market price reported on the active market on which the fund is traded or at net asset value per share and primarily consist of equity and fixed income funds. The equity funds primarily provide exposure to U.S. and international equities, real estate and commodities. The fixed income funds primarily provide exposure to high-yield securities and emerging market fixed income instruments. Mutual funds measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy and are being presented in the tables above to permit a reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Common/Collective trusts primarily consist of equity and fixed income funds and are valued using the closing market price reported on the active market on which the fund is traded or at net asset value per share. Common/Collective trust investments can be redeemed daily and without restriction. Redemption of the entire investment balance generally requires a 30-day notice period. The equity funds provide exposure to large, mid and small cap U.S. equities, international large and small cap equities and emerging market equities. The fixed income funds provide exposure to U.S., international and emerging market debt securities. Common/Collective trusts measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy and are being presented in the tables above to permit a reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Limited Partnerships primarily consist of hedge funds valued using a net asset value per share and provide exposure to a variety of hedging strategies including long/short equity, relative value, event driven and global macro.

Miscellaneous primarily includes real estate funds, insurance contracts held in the asset portfolio of the Company’s non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans, and net payables for securities purchased but not settled in the asset portfolio of the Company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plans. Insurance contracts are valued at the present value of future cash flows promised under the terms of the insurance contracts.

The primary investment objective of equity securities and equity funds, within both the mutual fund and common/collective trust asset class, is to obtain capital appreciation in an amount that at least equals various market-based benchmarks. The primary investment objective of fixed income securities and fixed income funds, within both the mutual fund and common/collective trust asset class, is to provide for a constant stream of income while preserving capital. The primary investment objective of limited partnerships is to achieve capital appreciation through an investment program focused on specialized investment strategies. The primary investment objective of insurance contracts, included in the miscellaneous asset class, is to provide a stable rate of return over a specified period of time.

EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN – The Company sponsors an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) as part of its existing savings and investment 401(k) plan. The ESOP is available to eligible domestic employees. Company matching contributions, up to a maximum of four percent of an employee’s annual compensation, are recorded as compensation expense. Prior to August 1, 2014, Company stock was used to match employee contributions. Effective August 1, 2014, participants may direct company matching contributions to any investment option within the savings and investment 401(k) plan.

<table><tr><td></td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>Shares held by ESOP</td><td>8,407,858</td><td>8,944,697</td><td>9,686,238</td></tr><tr><td>Company matching contributions</td><td>$63,914</td><td>$63,441</td><td>$61,067</td></tr></table>

In addition to shares within the ESOP, as of June 30, 2015, employees have elected to invest in 2,408,854 shares of common stock within a company stock fund of the savings and investment 401(k) plan.



The Company has a retirement income account (RIA) within the employee savings plan. The Company makes a cash contribution to the participant’s RIA each year, the amount of which is based on the participant’s age and years of service. Participants do not contribute to the RIA. The Company recognized $29,570, $25,247 and $22,046 in expense related to the RIA in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS – The Company provides postretirement medical and life insurance benefits to certain retirees and eligible dependents. Most plans are contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted annually. The plans are unfunded and pay stated percentages of covered medically necessary expenses incurred by retirees, after subtracting payments by Medicare or other providers and after stated deductibles have been met. For most plans, the Company has established cost maximums to more effectively control future medical costs. The Company has reserved the right to change these benefit plans.

Certain employees are covered under benefit provisions that include prescription drug coverage for Medicare eligible retirees. The impact of the subsidy received under the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 on the Company’s other postretirement benefits was immaterial.

The Company recognized $4,340, $4,478 and $4,930 in expense related to other postretirement benefits in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The presentation of the amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) is on a debit (credit) basis and is before the effect of income taxes. The amount of net actuarial loss and prior service credit that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) into net periodic postretirement cost in 2016 is $1,128 and $(121), respectively. The assumptions used to measure the net periodic benefit cost for postretirement benefit obligations are:

<table><tr><td></td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>Discount rate</td><td>3.74%</td><td>4.1%</td><td>3.62%</td></tr><tr><td>Current medical cost trend rate</td><td>7.75%</td><td>7.75%</td><td>8.0%</td></tr><tr><td>Ultimate medical cost trend rate (Pre-65 participants)</td><td>5.6%</td><td>5.0%</td><td>5.0%</td></tr><tr><td>Ultimate medical cost trend rate (Post-65 participants)</td><td>6.2%</td><td>5.0%</td><td>5.0%</td></tr><tr><td>Medical cost trend rate decreases to ultimate in year (Pre-65 participants)</td><td>2041</td><td>2021</td><td>2019</td></tr><tr><td>Medical cost trend rate decreases to ultimate in year (Post-65 participants)</td><td>2045</td><td>2021</td><td>2019</td></tr></table>

The discount rate assumption used to measure the benefit obligation was 3.96 percent in 2015 and 3.74 percent in 2014.

Estimated future benefit payments for other postretirement benefits in the five years ending June 30, 2016 through 2020 are $5,644, $5,770, $5,751, $5,598 and $5,176, respectively, and $22,449 in the aggregate for the five years ending June 30, 2021 through June 30, 2025.

A one percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would not have a material effect on the benefit cost or benefit obligation.

OTHER – The Company has established nonqualified deferred compensation programs, which permit officers, directors and certain management employees annually to elect to defer a portion of their compensation, on a pre-tax basis, until their retirement. The retirement benefit to be provided is based on the amount of compensation deferred, Company matching contributions and earnings on the deferrals. During 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded expense relating to deferred compensation of $5,676, $24,549 and $19,182, respectively.

The Company has invested in corporate-owned life insurance policies to assist in meeting the obligation under these programs. The policies are held in a rabbi trust and are recorded as assets of the Company.

SHARE REPURCHASES – The Company has a program to repurchase its common shares. On October 22, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an increase in the overall number of shares authorized to repurchase under the program so that, beginning on such date, the aggregate number of shares authorized for repurchase was 35 million. There is no limitation on the number of shares that can be repurchased in a fiscal year. Repurchases may be funded primarily from operating cash flows and commercial paper borrowings and the shares are initially held as treasury shares. The number of common shares repurchased at the average purchase price follows:

<table><tr><td></td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>Shares repurchased</td><td>11,091,759</td><td>1,741,143</td><td>3,006,005</td></tr><tr><td>Average price per share</td><td>125.64</td><td>114.87</td><td>85.55</td></tr></table>

## NOTE 12. Stock Incentive Plans

The Company’s 2009 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan provides for the granting of share-based incentive awards in the form of nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock units (RSUs) and restricted and unrestricted stock to officers and key employees of the Company. The aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2009 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan is 14,700,000. The Company satisfies share-based incentive award obligations by issuing shares of common stock out of treasury, which have been repurchased pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program described in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, or through the issuance of previously unissued common stock.

STOCK OPTIONS/SARs – Stock options allow the participant to purchase shares of common stock at a price not less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. Upon exercise, SARs entitle the participant to receive shares of common stock equal to the increase in value of the award between the grant date and the exercise date. Stock options and SARs are exercisable from one to three years after the date of grant and expire no more than 10 years after grant.

The fair value of each stock option and SAR award granted in 2015, 2014 and 2013 was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

<table><tr><td></td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>Risk-free interest rate</td><td>2.0%</td><td>1.55%</td><td>0.8%</td></tr><tr><td>Expected life of award</td><td>5.4 yrs</td><td>5.1 yrs</td><td>4.9 yrs</td></tr><tr><td>Expected dividend yield of stock</td><td>1.8%</td><td>1.9%</td><td>1.7%</td></tr><tr><td>Expected volatility of stock</td><td>32.3%</td><td>39.1%</td><td>39.0%</td></tr><tr><td>Weighted-average fair value</td><td>30.50</td><td>32.57</td><td>24.76</td></tr></table>

The risk-free interest rate was based on U.S. Treasury yields with a term similar to the expected life of the award. The expected life of the award was derived by referring to actual exercise and post-vesting employment termination experience. The expected dividend yield was based on the Company’s historical dividend rate and stock price over a period similar to the expected life of the award. The expected volatility of stock was derived by referring to changes in the Company’s historical common stock prices over a time-frame similar to the expected life of the award.

Stock option and SAR activity during 2015 is as follows (aggregate intrinsic value in millions):

<table><tr><td></td><td>Number of Shares</td><td>Weighted-Average Exercise Price</td><td>Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term</td><td>Aggregate Intrinsic Value</td></tr><tr><td>Outstanding</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>June 30, 2014</td><td>8,208,699</td><td>$ 72.87</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Granted</td><td>1,128,279</td><td>113.92</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Exercised</td><td>(1,159,101)</td><td>62.82</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Canceled</td><td>(43,671)</td><td>101.10</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Outstanding</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>June 30, 2015</td><td>8,134,206</td><td>$ 79.84</td><td>5.2 years</td><td>$298.0</td></tr><tr><td>Exercisable</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>June 30, 2015</td><td>5,824,117</td><td>$ 69.43</td><td>4.0 years</td><td>$273.9</td></tr></table>



A summary of the status and changes of shares subject to stock option and SAR awards and the related average price per share follows:

<table><tr><td></td><td>Number of Shares</td><td>Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value</td></tr><tr><td>Nonvested June 30, 2014</td><td>2,484,971</td><td>$28.89</td></tr><tr><td>Granted</td><td>1,128,279</td><td>30.50</td></tr><tr><td>Vested</td><td>(1,264,918)</td><td>26.93</td></tr><tr><td>Canceled</td><td>(38,243)</td><td>31.00</td></tr><tr><td>Nonvested June 30, 2015</td><td>2,310,089</td><td>$30.71</td></tr></table>

At June 30, 2015, $19,061 of expense with respect to nonvested stock option and SAR awards has yet to be recognized and will be amortized into expense over a weighted-average period of approximately 20 months. The total fair value of shares vested during 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $34,064, $42,363 and $29,777, respectively.

Information related to stock options and SAR awards exercised during 2015, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

During 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $34,617, $49,998 and $33,018, respectively, relating to stock option and SAR awards. The Company derives a tax deduction measured by the excess of the market value over the grant price at the date stock-based awards are exercised. The related tax benefit is credited to additional capital as the Company is currently in a windfall tax benefit position.

Shares surrendered upon exercise of stock options and SARs: 2015 – 243,799; 2014 – 775,163; 2013 – 1,947,148.

RSUs – RSUs constitute an agreement to deliver shares of common stock to the participant at the end of a vesting period. Generally, the RSUs vest and the underlying stock is issued ratably over a three-year graded vesting period. Unvested RSUs may not be transferred and do not have dividend or voting rights. For each unvested RSU, recipients are entitled to receive a dividend equivalent, payable in cash or common shares, equal to the cash dividend per share paid to common shareholders.

The fair value of each RSU award granted in 2015, 2014 and 2013 was based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. A summary of the status and changes of shares subject to RSU awards and the related average price per share follows:

<table><tr><td></td><td>Number of Shares</td><td>Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value</td></tr><tr><td>Nonvested June 30, 2014</td><td>471,530</td><td>$ 94.59</td></tr><tr><td>Granted</td><td>211,088</td><td>113.02</td></tr><tr><td>Vested</td><td>(213,986)</td><td>88.57</td></tr><tr><td>Canceled</td><td>(19,344)</td><td>105.91</td></tr><tr><td>Nonvested June 30, 2015</td><td>449,288</td><td>$105.63</td></tr></table>

Under the Company’s 2013-14-15 LTIP, a payout of unrestricted stock will be issued in April 2016.

The fair value of each LTIP award granted in 2015, 2014 and 2013 was based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. A summary of the status and changes of shares relating to the LTIP and the related average price per share follows:

At June 30, 2015, the Company had approximately 6 million common shares reserved for issuance in connection with its stock incentive plans.



## NOTE 13. Shareholders' Protection Rights Agreement

On January 25, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend of one Shareholders' Right for each common share outstanding on February 17, 2007 in relation to the Company's Shareholders Protection Rights Agreement. As of June 30, 2015, 138,558,739 common shares were reserved for issuance under this Agreement. Under certain conditions involving acquisition of, or an offer for, 15 percent or more of the Company's common shares, all holders of Shareholders' Rights would be entitled to purchase one common share at an exercise price currently set at $160. In addition, in certain circumstances, all holders of Shareholders' Rights (other than the acquiring entity) would be entitled to purchase a number of common shares equal to twice the exercise price, or at the option of the Board of Directors, to exchange each Shareholders' Right for one common share. The Shareholders' Rights remain in existence until February 17, 2017, unless extended by the Board of Directors or earlier redeemed (at one cent per Shareholders' Right), exercised or exchanged under the terms of the agreement. In the event of an unfriendly business combination attempt, the Shareholders' Rights will cause substantial dilution to the person attempting the business combination. The Shareholders' Rights should not interfere with any merger or other business combination that is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders since the Shareholders' Rights may be redeemed.

## NOTE 14. Research and Development

Research and development costs amounted to $403,085 in 2015, $410,132 in 2014 and $406,613 in 2013. These amounts include both costs incurred by the Company related to independent research and development initiatives as well as costs incurred in connection with research and development contracts. Costs incurred in connection with research and development contracts amounted to $57,799 in 2015, $55,916 in 2014 and $58,916 in 2013. These costs are included in the total research and development cost for each of the respective years.

## NOTE 15. Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and other investments, accounts receivable and long-term investments, as well as obligations under accounts payable, trade, notes payable and long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, trade and notes payable approximate fair value.

Marketable securities and other investments include deposits, which are recorded at cost, and investments classified as available-for-sale, which are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss). The amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale investments at June 30, 2015 are as follows:

<table><tr><td></td><td>Amortized Cost</td><td>Gross Unrealized Gains</td><td>Gross Unrealized Losses</td><td>Fair Value</td></tr><tr><td>Fixed income</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>mutual funds</td><td>$187,467</td><td>$101</td><td>$ 34</td><td>$187,534</td></tr><tr><td>Government bonds</td><td>60,543</td><td>12</td><td>43</td><td>60,512</td></tr><tr><td>Corporate bonds</td><td>146,202</td><td>2</td><td>487</td><td>145,717</td></tr><tr><td>Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities</td><td>11,028</td><td>—</td><td>58</td><td>10,970</td></tr></table>

At June 30, 2015, there were no facts or circumstances that indicated the unrealized losses were other than temporary. All available-for-sale investments in an unrealized loss position have been in that position for less than 12 months.

The contractual maturities of available-for-sale investments at June 30, 2015 are as follows:

<table><tr><td></td><td>Amortized Cost</td><td>Fair Value</td></tr><tr><td>Less than one year</td><td>$ 13,561</td><td>$ 13,555</td></tr><tr><td>One to three years</td><td>188,539</td><td>188,057</td></tr><tr><td>Over three years</td><td>15,673</td><td>15,587</td></tr></table>

Actual maturities of available-for-sale investments may differ from their contractual maturities as the Company has the ability to liquidate the available-for-sale investments after giving appropriate notice to the issuer.

During 2015, the Company recognized $3,817 of net realized losses on its available-for sale investments related to sales and maturities, which are reflected in the other (income), net caption within the Consolidated Statement of Income.

The carrying value of long-term debt (excluding capital leases) and estimated fair value of long-term debt (excluding capital leases) at June 30 are as follows:

<table><tr><td></td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td></tr><tr><td>Carrying value of long-term debt (excluding capital leases)</td><td>$2,947,102</td><td>$1,508,420</td></tr><tr><td>Estimated fair value of long-term debt (excluding capital leases)</td><td>3,107,735</td><td>1,708,723</td></tr></table>

The fair value of long-term debt was determined based on observable market prices in the active market in which the security is traded and is classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company utilizes derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, including forward exchange contracts, costless collar contracts, cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign denominated debt designated as net investment hedges, to manage foreign currency transaction and translation risk. The derivative financial instrument contracts are with major investment grade financial institutions and the Company does not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the counterparties. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Company’s Euro bonds and Japanese Yen credit facility have each been designated as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. The translation of the Euro bonds and Japanese Yen credit facility into U.S. dollars is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) and remains there until the underlying net investment is sold or substantially liquidated.

Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value.



The location and fair value of derivative financial instruments reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are as follows:

<table><tr><td></td><td>Balance Sheet Caption</td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td></tr><tr><td>Net investment hedges</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Cross-currency swap contracts</td><td>Other assets</td><td>$17,994</td><td>$—</td></tr><tr><td>Cross-currency swap contracts</td><td>Other liabilities</td><td>—</td><td>45,790</td></tr><tr><td>Cash flow hedges</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Costless collar contracts</td><td>Non-trade and notes receivable</td><td>5,627</td><td>3,508</td></tr><tr><td>Forward exchange contracts</td><td>Non-trade and notes receivable</td><td>(23)</td><td>(41)</td></tr><tr><td>Costless collar contracts</td><td>Other accrued liabilities</td><td>1,970</td><td>378</td></tr></table>

The cross-currency swap and costless collar contracts are reflected on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The presentation of forward exchange contracts is on a net basis, the effect of which is immaterial to the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has not entered into any master netting arrangements.

Gains or losses on derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through the cost of sales caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Gains or losses on derivatives that are hedges are adjusted to fair value through accumulated other comprehensive (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

The cross-currency swap contracts have been designated as hedging instruments. The costless collar contracts and forward exchange contracts have not been designated as hedging instruments and are considered to be economic hedges of forecasted transactions.

Gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments that were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income are as follows:

<table><tr><td></td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>Forward exchange contracts</td><td>$ 59</td><td>$ (81)</td><td>$ (1,821)</td></tr><tr><td>Costless collar contracts</td><td>(1,865)</td><td>7,052</td><td>502</td></tr></table>

Gains (losses) on derivative and non-derivative financial instruments that were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are as follows:

<table><tr><td></td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td></tr><tr><td>Cross-currency swap contracts</td><td>$39,406</td><td>$(14,426)</td></tr><tr><td>Foreign denominated debt</td><td>37,871</td><td>7,611</td></tr></table>

There was no ineffectiveness of the cross-currency swap contracts or foreign denominated debt, nor were any portion of these financial instruments excluded from the effectiveness testing, during 2015, 2014 and 2013.

A summary of financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

<table><tr><td></td><td>June 30, 2015</td><td>Quoted Prices In Active Markets (Level 1)</td><td>Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)</td><td>Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)</td></tr><tr><td>Assets:</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Government bonds</td><td>$ 60,512</td><td>$ 60,512</td><td>$ —</td><td>$ —</td></tr><tr><td>Corporate bonds</td><td>145,717</td><td>145,717</td><td>—</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities</td><td>10,970</td><td>—</td><td>10,970</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Derivatives</td><td>23,598</td><td>—</td><td>23,598</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Investments measured at net asset value</td><td>187,534</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Liabilities:</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Derivatives</td><td>1,970</td><td>—</td><td>1,970</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td><td>Quoted Prices In Active Markets (Level 1)</td><td>Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)</td><td>Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)</td></tr><tr><td>Assets:</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Derivatives</td><td>$ 3,467</td><td>$ —</td><td>$ 3,467</td><td>$ —</td></tr><tr><td>Liabilities:</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Derivatives</td><td>46,168</td><td>—</td><td>46,168</td><td>—</td></tr></table>

The fair values of the government bonds, corporate bonds and asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are determined using the closing market price reported in the active market in which the fund is traded or the market price for similar assets that are traded in an active market.

Derivatives consist of forward exchange, costless collar and cross-currency swap contracts, the fair values of which are calculated using market observable inputs including both spot and forward prices for the same underlying currencies. The calculation of fair value of the cross-currency swap contracts also utilizes a present value cash flow model that has been adjusted to reflect the credit risk of either the Company or the counterparty.

Investments measured at net asset value primarily consist of investments in fixed income mutual funds, which are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. These investments have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy and are presented in the table above to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has the ability to liquidate these investments after giving appropriate notice to the issuer.

The primary investment objective for all investments is the preservation of principal and liquidity while earning income.

There are no other financial assets or financial liabilities that are marked to market on a recurring basis. Fair values are transferred between levels of the fair value hierarchy when facts and circumstances indicate that a change in the method of estimating the fair value of a financial asset or financial liability is warranted.



## NOTE 16. Contingencies

The Company is involved in various litigation matters arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings based on product liability claims, workers' compensation claims and alleged violations of various environmental laws. The Company is self-insured in the United States for health care, workers' compensation, general liability and product liability up to predetermined amounts, above which third party insurance applies. Management regularly reviews the probable outcome of these proceedings, the expenses expected to be incurred, the availability and limits of the insurance coverage, and the established accruals for liabilities. While the outcome of pending proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that any liabilities that may result from these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

ENVIRONMENTAL – The Company is currently responsible for environmental remediation at various manufacturing facilities presently or formerly operated by the Company and has been named as a “potentially responsible party,” along with other companies, at off-site waste disposal facilities and regional sites. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had an accrual of $16,957 for environmental matters, which are probable and reasonably estimable. The accrual is recorded based upon the best estimate of costs to be incurred in light of the progress made in determining the magnitude of remediation costs, the timing and extent of remedial actions required by governmental authorities and the amount of the Company’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties.

The Company’s estimated total liability for environmental matters ranges from a minimum of $17.0 million to a maximum of $80.2 million. The largest range for any one site is approximately $8.4 million. The actual costs to be incurred by the Company will be dependent on final determination of contamination and required remedial action, negotiations with governmental authorities with respect to cleanup levels, changes in regulatory requirements, innovations in investigatory and remedial technologies, effectiveness of remedial technologies employed, the ability of other responsible parties to pay, and any insurance or other third-party recoveries.

# Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

## To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Parker-Hannifin Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Parker-Hannifin Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2015. We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Parker-Hannifin Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2015, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
