“2018 was another record sales and earnings year for Woodward. We addressed softness in our Industrial markets
and capitalized on the growing backlog in our Aerospace markets. Importantly, we completed the acquisition of L’Orange, which is
transformational to our Industrial segment and strengthens Woodward overall,” said Thomas A. Gendron, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Woodward. “For the year, we delivered strong results in our Aerospace segment, while L’Orange contributed significantly
to the improved performance in our Industrial segment. As we look forward to 2019, we expect strong performance in our Aerospace
segment and accelerating improvement in our Industrial segment.”
Company Results
Woodward is providing certain financial measures on both a U.S. GAAP basis and on an adjusted non-U.S. GAAP
basis, similar to prior quarters of fiscal 2018. Adjusted amounts exclude, as applicable, restructuring charges, Duarte
move-related costs, L’Orange transaction and integration costs, and the purchase accounting impacts related to inventory step-up
and backlog in connection with our L’Orange acquisition (collectively “special charges”), as well as transition impacts of the
change in U.S. tax legislation. There were no such adjustments in fiscal 2017. Financial information for L’Orange is reflected in
our U.S. GAAP financial statements, and more specifically in our Industrial segment, from the June 1, 2018 acquisition date.
Organic sales amounts exclude sales attributable to L’Orange.

Segment Results
Aerospace
Aerospace segment net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 were $461 million, compared to $399 million for the
fourth quarter a year ago, an increase of 16 percent.
Aerospace sales growth for the fourth quarter of 2018 was strong for both commercial and military programs.
Commercial OEM sales continued to accelerate from the ramp in next generation aircraft deliveries, while aftermarket sales remained
strong. Defense OEM sales were favorably impacted by ongoing strength in smart weapons, partially offset by lower defense
aftermarket sales for the quarter.
Segment earnings for the fourth quarter of 2018 were $103 million, compared to $86 million for the fourth
quarter of last year. Segment earnings as a percent of segment net sales were 22.4 percent for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared
to 21.4 percent in the same quarter of the prior year. Segment earnings primarily benefitted from the strong sales volume for both
OEM and aftermarket.
For fiscal 2018, Aerospace segment net sales were $1.56 billion, an increase of 16 percent compared to $1.34
billion for the prior year. Segment earnings as a percent of segment net sales were 19.4 percent in 2018, compared to 19.2 percent
in the prior year.
Industrial
Industrial segment net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 were $258 million, compared to $208 million for
the fourth quarter a year ago. Organic Industrial segment net sales1, which exclude sales of $78 million attributable to
the L’Orange business, were $180 million for the fourth quarter of 2018.
Industrial segment sales increased primarily due to the addition of L’Orange and improvement in renewables
sales, partially offset by softness in industrial gas turbine and engine sales, compared to the prior year.
Segment earnings for the fourth quarter of 2018 were $8 million, or 3.1 percent of segment net sales. Adjusted
Industrial segment earnings1 were $34 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, or 13.2 percent of segment net sales,
compared to $23 million, or 11.1 percent of segment net sales, in the fourth quarter a year ago. The increase in adjusted
Industrial segment earnings was primarily due to the higher sales volume.
For 2018, Industrial segment net sales were $768 million, an increase of 2 percent compared to $756 million for
the prior year. Organic Industrial segment net sales for 2018 were $665 million. Foreign currency exchange rates had a favorable
impact on segment net sales of approximately $17 million for 2018, and no significant impact on segment earnings. Segment earnings
as a percent of segment net sales were 6.2 percent in 2018. Adjusted Industrial segment earnings as a percent of segment net sales
were 10.7 percent in 2018, compared to 10.4 percent in the prior year.
Nonsegment
Nonsegment expenses totaled $22 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. Adjusted nonsegment expenses1 for
the fourth quarter of 2018 were $17 million, compared to $15 million for the fourth quarter last year.
Nonsegment expenses totaled $100 million for 2018. Adjusted nonsegment expenses were $58 million for 2018,
consistent with the prior year.
Cash Flow and Financial Position
Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2018 was $299 million, compared to $308 million for the
prior year. Payments for property, plant, and equipment for 2018 were $127 million, compared to $92 million for 2017. Free cash
flow was $172 million for 2018, compared to $215 million for 2017. The decrease in free cash flow was primarily related to the
increase in capital expenditures.
Total debt was $1.25 billion at September 30, 2018, compared to $613 million at September 30, 2017, reflecting
the increase in debt associated with the L’Orange acquisition.
Outlook
Total net sales are expected to be between $2.65 billion and $2.80 billion for fiscal 2019, with Aerospace sales
up approximately 10 percent and Industrial sales up approximately 30 percent, both as compared to the prior year.
Aerospace segment earnings as a percent of segment net sales are expected to be approximately 20 percent.
Adjusted Industrial segment earnings as a percent of segment net sales are expected to be approximately 14 percent.
The effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 21 percent.
Free cash flow is expected to be approximately $300 million.
Adjusted earnings per share is expected to be between $4.40 and $4.70 based on approximately 65 million of fully
diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

1Adjusted and Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures: Adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per
share, adjusted Industrial segment earnings, adjusted EBIT and EBITDA, adjusted effective tax rate, and adjusted nonsegment
expenses exclude, as applicable, (i) restructuring charges, (ii) move costs associated with the relocation of our Duarte,
California operations to the Company’s newly renovated Drake Campus in Fort Collins, Colorado (“Duarte move related costs”), (iii)
the purchase accounting impacts related to the revaluation of the L’Orange inventory recognized in cost of goods sold and the
amortization of the backlog intangible, (iv) the L’Orange transaction and integration costs, (v) cost associated with the L’Orange
acquisition-related forward option, (vi) warranty and indemnity insurance costs associated with the acquisition of L’Orange, (vii)
German real estate transfer tax costs associated with the acquisition of L’Orange, and (viii) the transition impacts of the change
in U.S. federal tax legislation. Woodward believes that these items are short-term costs or are otherwise not related to the
ongoing operations of the business and therefore, uses them to illustrate more clearly how the underlying business of Woodward is
performing. Organic sales and organic Industrial segment net sales exclude sales attributable to L’Orange.
EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes), EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization), free cash flow, organic net sales, organic Industrial segment net sales, adjusted Industrial segment earnings,
adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted effective tax rate, and adjusted
nonsegment expenses are financial measures not prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Management uses EBIT to evaluate Woodward’s operating performance without the impacts
of financing and tax related considerations. Management uses EBITDA in evaluating Woodward’s operating performance, making business
decisions, including developing budgets, managing expenditures, forecasting future periods, and evaluating capital structure
impacts of various strategic scenarios. Management believes that EBIT and EBITDA are useful measures to the investor when measuring
operating performance as they eliminate the impact of financing and tax laws and regulations and, in the case of EBITDA, the
non-cash charges associated with depreciation and amortization. Further, as interest from financing, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization can vary dramatically between companies and between periods, management believes that the removal of these items can
improve comparability. Management also uses free cash flow, which is derived from net cash provided by or used in operating
activities less payments for property, plant, and equipment, in reviewing the financial performance of Woodward’s various business
segments and evaluating cash generation levels. Securities analysts, investors, and others frequently use EBIT, EBITDA and free
cash flow in their evaluation of companies, particularly those with significant property, plant, and equipment, and intangible
assets that are subject to depreciation or amortization. The use of any of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures is not intended
to be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S.
GAAP. Because EBIT and EBITDA exclude certain financial information compared with net earnings, the most comparable U.S. GAAP
financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the information that is excluded. Free cash flow does not
necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.
Management’s calculations of EBIT, EBITDA, and free cash flow may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies,
limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
