2017E Financial Outlook
(1)
(1) Full-year 2017 guidance includes the acquisition of TTC, which adds $65 million in sales to the Defense segment and is now expected to be
slightly accretive to operating income and earnings per share, including purchase accounting costs.
(2) Reflects the 1Q’17 adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09 “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”,
which resulted in a discrete tax benefit of $4.1 million. The adoption was on a prospective basis and therefore had no impact on prior years’
results. This change resulted in a $0.10 increase to our EPS guidance as disclosed in our press release dated May 3, 2017.

metrics
 Solid growth in diluted EPS, up 6 - 8%
 Free cash flow remains solid, driven by efficient working
capital management
 Committed to a balanced capital allocation strategy
Note:
