Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1994

Item 1. Business. - ------------------ Curtiss-Wright Corporation was incorporated in 1929 under the laws of the State of Delaware. Curtiss-Wright operates in three industry segments: Aerospace; Industrial; and Flow Control and Marine.
AEROSPACE SEGMENT Control and actuation systems are designed, developed and manufactured by the Corporation for the aerospace industry by Curtiss-Wright Flight Systems, Inc. and Curtiss-Wright Flight Systems/Shelby, Inc. (collectively "Flight Systems"), wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Registrant. Generally speaking, such components and systems are designed to position aircraft control surfaces, or to operate canopies, landing gear or weapon bay doors or other devices through the use of actuators. Products offered consist of electro-mechanical and hydro-mechanical actuation components and systems. They include actuators for the Lockheed (formerly General Dynamics), and McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 fighter planes, the Boeing 737, 747, 757 and 777 jet transports, and the Sikorsky Black Hawk and Seahawk helicopters. Flight Systems also provides spare parts and overhaul services for these products as well as for systems and components previously supplied on other aerospace programs including the Lockheed L-1011 transport aircraft and the GrummanA fighter plane. Flight Systems provides the Leading Edge Flap Rotary Actuators (LEFRA) for the. These are ongoing commitments for new aircraft from Lockheed/Fort Worth Company for the U.S. Air Force and for foreign military customers. LEFRAs provided for an Air Force retrofit program are scheduled to be completed in 1994. Work on the is the largest program at Flight Systems. Future government orders for this aircraft are uncertain and the potential for the is largely dependent on Lockheed's foreign sales. In 1993, Flight Systems obtained a sole-source contract from Lockheed covering its requirements for LEFRA to support such sales. This potentially significant contract can generate a high volume of sales but is not expected to fully replace the volume that has been experienced from the U.S. Air Force programs.
Flight Systems is a major supplier for the Lockheed/Boeing Advanced Tactical Fighter plane which has been described as the Air Force's future air superiority fighter. While Flight Systems does not expect to begin substantial production on this program for several years the program is proceeding with the engineering and manufacturing development phase. In 1993 it received further funding to proceed with engineering and manufacturing development valued at approximately $24 million to be performed during the next three years. An award was received in 1993 for an engineering manufacturing and development phase contract for the FA-18E/F Lex Vent Drive System with actual production several years away. Efforts by Flight Systems to expand its product base include continued work on a control system for the new Bell/Boeing tilt rotor V-22 aircraft. Flight Systems is developing a complete overhaul service for the airlines of transmissions and actuators previously manufactured by it for Boeing 737 and 747 aircraft. Overhaul services are also provided for other Boeing 727 and 737 components originally manufactured by other Boeing suppliers. Flight Systems products are sold in keen competition with a number of other systems suppliers, some of which have financial resources greater than those of the Corporation and significant technological and human resources. Flight Systems and these suppliers compete to have their systems selected to perform control and actuation functions on new aircraft. While an aircraft manufacturer usually awards a contract of several years duration to one system supplier, "second sourcing" is becoming more prevalent. Competition has intensified because relatively few new aircraft models have been produced in recent years. This operation competes primarily on the basis of engineering capability, quality and price. Products are marketed directly to Flight Systems customers by employees. Flight Systems maintains field marketing offices in Texas and California. Metal Improvement Company, Inc. ("MIC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary, performs shot peening and peen forming operations for aerospace manufacturers and their suppliers. Shot peening is a physical process used primarily to increase fatigue life in metal parts. MIC provides shot peening services to jet engine manufacturers, landing gear suppliers and many other aerospace manufacturers. Peen forming is a process used to form curvatures in panel shape metal parts to very close tolerances. These panels are used as the "wing skins" after assembly on many commercial, military and executive aircraft in service today. Currently, MIC is peen forming wing skins for jet transports manufactured by McDonnell Douglas. It also participates in the "Airbus" commercial jet transport program as a supplier to British Aerospace. The continued stretch out of orders from McDonnell Douglas and British Aerospace is expected to adversely impact sales to an extent not presently determinable. MIC's marketing is accomplished through direct sales. While MIC competes with a great many firms and often deals with customers which have the resources to perform for themselves the same services as are provided by MIC, MIC considers that its greater technical expertise and superior quality provide it with a competitive advantage. The Buffalo Facility, a division of the Corporation, extrudes preforms for tactical missile motor cases and offers titanium shapes used for aircraft structural support. The Corporation offers replacement parts for Curtiss-Wright reciprocating and turbo-jet propulsion engines to military agencies of foreign governments and, to a lesser extent, the U. S. Government. Sales are derived primarily from the receipt of orders by users of previously manufactured aircraft engines. It also manufactures windshield wiper systems for marine and aircraft use which are sold primarily by direct sales.
The business of the Aerospace Segment would be materially affected by the loss of any one of several important customers. A substantial portion of segment sales are made to Lockheed Corporation and Boeing Company for engineering and design work and to Lockheed Corporation for fighter aircraft for U. S. and foreign government end use or to the Boeing Company for commercial transport aircraft. The loss of any of these important customers would have a material adverse effect on this segment. Furthermore, the likelihood of future reductions in military and commercial programs due to reduced spending and problems in the airline industry continues to exist. The backlog of the Aerospace segment as of January 31, 1994 was $104.3 million as compared with $96.2 million as of January 31, 1993. Of the January 31, 1994 amount, approximately 39% is expected to be shipped during 1994. None of the business of this segment is seasonal. Raw materials, though not significant to these operations, are available in adequate quantities.
INDUSTRIAL SEGMENT The MIC subsidiary of the Corporation is engaged in the business of performing shot peening and heat treating for a broad spectrum of industrial customers, principally in the agricultural equipment, construction equipment, automotive and oil and gas industries. Heat treating is a metallurgical process used primarily to harden metals in order to provide increased durability and service life. MIC marketing and sales activity is done on a direct sales basis. Operations are conducted in facilities in the United States, Canada, England, France and Germany. Although numerous companies compete in the shot peening field, and many customers for shot peening services have the resources to perform such services themselves, MIC believes that its greater technical know how provides it with a competitive advantage. Substantial numbers of industrial firms elect to perform shot peening services for themselves. MIC also competes on the basis of quality, service, price and delivery. MIC experiences substantial competition from other companies in heat treating metal components. MIC is also engaged in the business of precision stamping and finishing of high strength steel reed valves used by various manufacturers of products such as refrigerators, air compressors, and small engines. The Corporation's Buffalo, New York facility produces custom extruded shapes and seamless alloy, stainless steel and titanium pipe on a 12,000 ton horizontal extrusion press. These products are marketed by direct salesmen and distributors for use primarily in the chemical, petrochemical and oil and gas industries. Keen competition exists in these markets. It comes from foreign sources and a small number of domestic competitors who use substantially the same or other methods of manufacture. In addition, excess capacity exists in the industry because of the sharp reduction in military procurements and the effects of the recession. The Corporation competes in these markets primarily on the basis of price, quality and delivery with quality and delivery being the major factors. The extrusion press has been in operation for thirty-seven years and is unique in its size and certain capabilities. The Buffalo facility remains dependent on this press for its operations and a failure resulting in a shutdown of the operation in the future for an extended period could have adverse consequences. The backlog of the Industrial segment (which has historically been low relative to sales of the segment) as of January 31, 1994 was $2.8 million as compared with $3.8 million as of January 31, 1993. All of the January 31, 1994 backlog is expected to be shipped in 1994. None of the business of this segment is seasonal. Raw materials, though not particularly significant to these operations, are available in adequate quantities.
FLOW CONTROL AND MARINE SEGMENT
The Target Rock subsidiary of the Corporation manufactures and refurbishes highly engineered valves of various types and sizes, such as hydraulically operated, motor operated and solenoid operated globe, gate, control and safety relief valves, which are used to control the flow of liquids and gases, and provide safe relief in the event of system overpressure. They are used primarily in United States Navy nuclear propulsion systems, in new and existing commercial nuclear and fossil fuel power plants and in facilities for process steam regeneration in the petroleum, paper and chemical industries. It also supplies actuators and controllers for Target Rock manufactured valves as well as for valves manufactured by others. These products are sold for use by the Nuclear Navy by direct sales. The Corporation's Buffalo, New York facility produces, on its extrusion press, custom extruded shapes and seamless pipe of varying wall sizes from various alloys for use in U.S. Navy ships, including the nuclear propulsion systems utilized by such ships. Sales to commercial users are accomplished through independent marketing representatives and by direct sales. Sales for United States Government use are made by responding directly to requests for proposals from customers and through the use of marketing representatives. Strong competition in valves is encountered primarily from a small number of experienced domestic firms in the military market, and from a larger number of domestic and foreign sources in the commercial market. Some firms, competing with the Buffalo facility, employ processes different from the extrusion process in the production of competing products. The products of the Flow Control and Marine Segment are sold to customers who are sophisticated and demanding. Performance, quality, technology, production methods, delivery and price are the principal areas of competition. Raw materials are generally available in adequate supply from a number of suppliers. The business of this segment is not materially dependent upon any single source of supply. The dollar amount of the Flow Control and Marine segment backlog of orders at January 31, 1994 was $43.4 million as compared with $46.6 million at January 31, 1993. Of the January 31, 1994 backlog, approximately 49.6% is expected to be delivered during 1994. Despite a declining market, Target Rock has been able to increase its market share and to maintain its sales volume. Target Rock's business, especially the production of valves for the United States Navy, is characterized by long lead times from order placement to delivery. The business of this segment is not seasonal. Target Rock is anticipating an increase in demand for its packless electronic control valve as a replacement item for competitors' commercial valves containing packing, as a result of the future application of stringent new Federal standards limiting air pollution from "fugitive" emissions from valves now widely in use. A substantial amount of the sales in the Flow Control and Marine segment are made to the Westinghouse Electric Corporation for United States Government end use. The loss of this customer would have a material adverse effect on this segment. U.S. Government direct and end use sales of this segment in 1993 and 1992 were $16.9 and $20.6 million, respectively.
OTHER INFORMATION
Government Sales In 1993, 1992 and 1991, direct sales to the United States Government and sales for United States Government end use aggregated 34%, 36% and 34%, respectively, of total sales for all segments. United States Government sales, both direct and subcontract, are generally made under one of the standard types of government contracts, including fixed price and fixed price-redeterminable. In accordance with normal practice in the case of United States Government business, contracts and orders are subject to partial or complete termination at any time, at the option of the customer. In the event of termination, there generally are provisions for recovery by the Corporation of its allowable costs and a proportionate share of the profit or fee on the work done, consistent with regulations of the United States Government. Subcontracts for Navy nuclear valves usually provide that Target Rock must absorb most of any over- run of "target" costs. In the event that there is a cost underrun, however, the customer is to recoup the larger portion of the underrun. It is the policy of the Corporation to seek customary progress payments on certain of its contracts. Where such payments are obtained by the Corporation under United States government prime contracts or subcontracts, they are secured by a lien in favor of the government on the materials and work in process allocable or chargeable to the respective contracts. (See Notes 1 C, 3 and 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, on pages 21 and 23 of the 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 13 and hereinafter referred to as the "Registrant's Annual Report".) In the case of most Flow Control and Marine products for United States Government end use, the subcontracts typically provide for the retention by the customer of stipulated percentages of the contract price, pending completion of contract closeout conditions.
Research and Development Research and development expenditures of the Corporation amounted to approximately $1.4 million in 1993 as compared to about $1.6 million in 1992 and $2.3 million in 1991. All research and development expenditures were spent on Corporation sponsored activities for 1993 and 1992. The Corporation owns and is licensed under a number of United States and foreign patents and patent applications which have been obtained or filed over a period of years. The Corporation does not consider that the successful conduct of its business is materially dependent upon the protection of any one or more of these patents, patent applications or patent license agreements under which it now operates.
Environmental Protection The effect of compliance upon the Corporation with present legal requirements concerning protection of the environment is described in the material in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements which appears on pages 30 and 31 of the Registrant's Annual Report and is incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K Annual Report.
Employees At the end of 1993, the Corporation had approximately 1,550 employees. Most production employees are represented by labor unions and are covered by collective bargaining agreements.
Certain Financial Information The material in Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which appears on Page 37 of the Registrant's Annual Report, is incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K Annual Report. It should be noted that in recent years a significant percentage of the pre-tax earnings from operations of the Corporation has been derived from European operations (basically those of MIC). The Corporation does not regard the risks attendant to these foreign operations to be materially greater than those applicable to its business in the U.S.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings. - -------------------------- 1. The material in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements which appears on page 28 of the Registrant's Annual Report is incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K Annual Report. 2. In October 1989 a joint and several liability claim in an unspecified amount was brought by the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection against the Registrant and a dozen or more other corporations under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act for reimbursement of costs incurred by the State in response to the release of hazardous substances at Sharkey Landfill site in Parsippany, New Jersey, for a future declaratory judgment in favor of the State with respect to all future such costs and for penalties and costs of enforcement, including attorney fees. The case was subsequently consolidated for all purposes with U.S. v. CMDG Realty co., et al., a parallel action by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency in which the Registrant was not a defendant. Both cases are pending in the U. S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. A third-party complaint in both cases has been filed against approximately thirty industrial concerns, forty governmental instrumentalities and forty transporters, alleging that each of them is liable in some measure for the costs related to the site. 3. Caldwell Trucking Superfund Site. Registrant incorporates by reference its response to Item 1 to Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1993. Registrant further states that following said reporting period in December 1993 Registrant and seven other companies considered by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") to be potentially responsible parties signed a consent order with the EPA, the New Jersey Department of Environment and Energy and the U. S. Department of Interior. The order provides that, among other things, the parties perform groundwater and natural resources investigation and remediation activities. The consent order also released parties from past costs, future federal oversight costs and all other natural resource damage.

REPORT of INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Directors and Stockholders of Curtiss-Wright Corporation:
We have audited the consolidated statements of earnings, cash flows and stockholders' equity of Curtiss Wright Corporation and Subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 1991 which are incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10K. We have also audited the related financial statement schedules listed in Item 14(a)(2) of this Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 1991. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows of Curtiss-Wright Corporation and Subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 1991 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedules referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole presents fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be included therein.
As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements in December 1990, the U. S. government filed a complaint against Target Rock Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, asserting claims under the False Claims Act and at common law based on alleged embezzlements from Target Rock and labor mischarging to Government subcontracts issued to Target Rock. The ultimate outcome of the litigation cannot presently be determined. Accordingly, no provision for any liability that may result upon adjudication has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
