PART I

Item 1. Business.

Overview

Carlisle Companies Incorporated (“Carlisle”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a diversified, global manufacturer of highly engineered products. Our Company website is www.carlisle.com, through which we make available, free of charge, our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after these reports are electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All references to "Notes" refer to our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Business Strategy

We strive to be the market leader of highly engineered products in the various markets we serve. Under Vision 2025, our key pillars include: dedication to driving above market growth, utilizing the Carlisle Operating System (“COS”) consistently to drive efficiencies and operating leverage, building scale with synergistic acquisitions, continuing to invest in and develop exceptional talent, accommodate continued organic growth through capital expenditures, and return capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

We utilize COS, an operating structure and strategy deployment system based on lean enterprise and six sigma principles, to drive improving operational performance. COS is a continuous improvement process that defines the way we do business. Waste is eliminated and efficiencies are improved enterprise wide, allowing us to increase overall profitability. Improvements are not limited to production areas, as COS is also driving improvements in new product innovation, engineering, supply chain management, warranty and product rationalization. COS has created a culture of continuous improvement across all aspects of our business operations.

While the coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19") has affected our near-term results, we believe our proactive approach to cost reductions and continuous improvement initiatives will allow us to accelerate through the recovery by: further improving the efficiency of our businesses through COS, continuing to make the investments necessary to deliver a world-class Carlisle Experience, which delivers the right product, at the right place, at the right time, and ensuring we maintain discipline and rigor in our capital allocation process. Taken together, we believe these actions will drive us to achieve our goals outlined in Vision 2025. See Description of Business by Segment below for a more detailed discussion of our Vision 2025 strategy.

As noted above, a significant part of our strategy is to build scale with synergistic acquisitions. Synergies considered in making an acquisition include consolidation opportunities (e.g., footprint, back office, technology, systems), supply chain savings and cross-sell opportunities. We acquired two businesses during 2020, which add to our existing Carlisle Construction Materials (“CCM”), Carlisle Interconnect Technologies (“CIT”) and Carlisle Fluid Technologies ("CFT") segments. For more details regarding acquisitions of the Company’s businesses during the past three years, refer to Note 3.

We also pursue the sale of a business when it is determined it no longer fits within the Company’s long-term goals or strategy. Accordingly, on March 20, 2018, we completed the sale of our Carlisle FoodService Products ("CFS") segment to The Jordan Company for $758.0 million (refer to Note 4).

Description of Business by Segment

Carlisle Construction Materials (“CCM”)

Products, Markets and Locations

The CCM segment has evolved from a supplier of the first single-ply ethylene propylene diene monomer (“EPDM”) roofing membranes in the early 1960s to today, where we deliver innovative, easy-to-install and energy-efficient solutions through the Carlisle Experience for customers who are creating the sustainable building of the future. CCM manufactures a complete range of building envelope products for commercial, industrial and residential buildings, including single-ply roofing, rigid foam insulations, spray polyurethane foam technologies, architectural metal, heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC") hardware and sealants, below-grade waterproofing, and air and vapor barrier systems focused on the weatherproofing and thermal performance of the building envelope. CCM is a leading North American and European building products manufacturer offering a complete set of solutions and systems to aid in the design of efficient building envelope construction projects, backed by industry-leading warranties and a focus on green principles.

Table of Contents

EPDM, thermoplastic polyolefin (“TPO”) and polyvinyl chloride (“PVC”) membrane and polyisocyanurate insulation are sold together in warranted systems or separately in non-warranted systems to the new construction, re-roofing and maintenance, general construction and industrial markets. These products are primarily sold under the SynTec, Versico, Weatherbond and Hunter Panels brands in the United States of America (“U.S.” or “United States”) and throughout the world, and EPDM membrane under the Resitrix and Hertalan brands primarily in Europe. The segment sells its expanded polystyrene for a variety of end markets, predominantly roofing and waterproofing through its Insulfoam brand.

CCM operates manufacturing facilities located throughout the United States, its primary market, and in Germany, the Netherlands, United Kingdom ("U.K.") and Romania. The majority of CCM’s products are sold through a network of authorized sales representatives and distributors in the United States.

Key Raw Materials

Key raw materials for this segment include methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (“MDI”), polyol, EPDM polymer, TPO polymer, carbon black and coated steel. These raw materials generally have at least two vendor sources to better assure adequate supply. The vendor typically has multiple processing facilities for key raw materials that are single sourced.

Seasonality

Revenues and earnings for CCM have historically been higher in the second and third quarters due to increased construction activity during those periods from favorable weather conditions.

Market Factors

CCM serves a large and diverse customer base; however, in 2020 CCM's two largest customers represented 32.1% of this segment’s revenues and 22.6% of the Company’s consolidated revenues. The loss of either of these customers could have a material adverse effect on this segment’s revenues and operating income and the Company's consolidated revenues and operating income.

This segment faces competition from numerous competitors that produce roofing, insulation and waterproofing products for commercial and residential applications. The level of competition within this market varies by product line and region. As one of four major manufacturers in the single-ply industry, CCM competes through innovative products, long-term warranties and customer service. CCM offers separately priced extended warranty contracts on certain of its products ranging from five to 40 years, the most significant being those offered on its installed single-ply roofing systems primarily in the United States, subject to certain exclusions, that covers leaks in the roofing system attributable to a problem with the particular product or the installation of the product. The building owner must have the roofing system installed by an independent authorized roofing contractor trained by CCM to install its roofing systems in order to qualify for the warranty.

Vision 2025 Strategy

Our strategy under Vision 2025 for the CCM segment is to:

•Improve upon its above average margin profile;

•Capture significant aftermarket opportunities as buildings in the U.S. approach “re-roofing” vintage;

•Further expand our presence in niche high-growth and high-margin opportunities including spray foam insulation and architectural metals; and

•Expand internationally, especially into Europe, where there is a market to displace traditional asphalt roofing with EPDM and other single-ply roofing.

Key growth initiatives:

•Capture market share based on value created for labor and energy efficiency;

•Leverage the Carlisle Experience to create the preferred choice through operational excellence;

•Continued development of proprietary, differentiated products;

•Utilize training to drive a culture of continuous learning that creates brand loyalty; and

•Focus mergers and acquisitions on synergistic building envelope opportunities.

Market Factors

CBF serves a large and diverse customer base; however, in 2020 one customer represented 15.0% of this segment’s revenues but did not represent greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenues. The loss of this customer could have a material adverse effect on this segment’s revenues and operating income. Backlog orders were $189.2 million and $155.3 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. All orders are reasonably expected to be filled in 2021.

This segment strives to be a market leader by competing globally against regional and international manufacturers. Few competitors participate in all served markets. A majority of competitors participate in only a few of CBF’s served markets on a regional or global basis. Markets served are competitive and the major competitive factors include product performance, quality, product availability and price. The relative importance of these competitive factors varies by market segment and channel.

Vision 2025 Strategy

Compliance with Government Regulations

We are subject to various government regulations, including environmental regulations. To date, our costs of complying with these regulations have not had a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position or that of any business segment. We do not expect to incur any material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities for the current fiscal year or any other subsequent period.

Human Capital Resources

Investing in Our People

As of December 31, 2020, we employed approximately 12,000 people, excluding approximately 1,000 contractors.

Talent acquisition and retention are critical drivers to delivering the goals of Vision 2025. A trained, diverse and inspired workforce is integral to delivering value to our stakeholders. We begin with a recruiting process that reaches a wide array of potential employees and includes the engagement of specialized, diverse recruiting firms such as The Standard Diversity Network, Jobs4Women.net, Asian American Jobsite, African American Jobsite and many others.

We also partner with universities in the U.S. and outside the U.S., recruiting for functional talent in management, sales, finance, information technology and other functions from the communities in which we work. In addition, we engage certain of these universities in collaborative research and development, and training efforts. Each business segment works with high schools and trade schools in their respective locations to educate young people about and attract them to manufacturing careers.

We offer several training programs for current employees intended to develop talent, including:

•The Carlisle Leadership Summit is intended to identify and prepare high-performing employees for senior leadership roles.

•The Carlisle Leadership Program, developed in association with the Kelley School of Business, is a program for senior manager or director level employees who are leading teams and demonstrating future potential for senior leadership roles. This program develops business and leadership skills in both applied and classroom environments.

This program helps these employees to define their own leadership skills to enable their future success.

•The Carlisle Management Development Program was established with several university MBA programs and is a one-year post-MBA rotational program designed to give an expedited experience for participants within business segments across functional areas.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Carlisle has pledged to take action to cultivate a workplace where diverse perspectives and experiences are welcomed and respected. In May 2018, Carlisle joined the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™, a growing coalition of more than 900 CEOs of major corporations pledging to advance diversity and inclusion in the workplace. By signing on to this commitment, Carlisle is pledging to take action to cultivate a workplace where diverse perspectives and experiences are welcomed and respected. CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ is cultivating a new type of ecosystem centered around collaboration and sharing.

Table of Contents

Carlisle’s commitment to diversity and inclusion in the workforce includes a policy of non-discriminatory treatment and respect of human rights for all current and prospective employees. Discrimination on the basis of an individual’s race, religion, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, national origin or veteran’s status is not permitted by Carlisle and is illegal in many jurisdictions. Carlisle respects the human rights of all employees and strives to treat them with dignity consistent with standards and practices recognized by the international community. Carlisle is committed to respecting all human rights, as articulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the International Labor Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.

In addition to policies for fair treatment, Carlisle also works to address unconscious bias in the workplace. Unconscious bias training is a key component of Carlisle’s leadership development programs. This training helps inform leaders of biases and provides a forum for them to explore how Carlisle can strengthen our culture of inclusion by addressing and breaking down biases. This has contributed to an effort to gain equal diversity representation throughout Carlisle.

Over a year ago, we began a significant initiative to ensure women and men are compensated fairly at Carlisle. As of the end of 2020, we achieved gender pay equity across the U.S. for executives, senior officers and management. In 2021, we will expand this initiative across the Company. This means compensating employees the same when they perform the same job duties, while accounting for other factors, such as their experience level, job performance and tenure with the company. In 2020, we raised Carlisle's minimum starting wage to $15 per hour for our entire U.S. workforce.

Below is a summary of our global employees diversity as of December 31, 2020 by gender and age:

Health and Safety

Carlisle is continuously striving to provide safer, healthier work environments. From the onset of COVID-19, Carlisle formed an internal task force to monitor and implement at all locations all of the health and safety guidelines and requirements of national and local authorities to protect our workforce, including, but not limited to, providing a period of full pay for employees required to follow stay-at-home orders and implementing remote work plans for eligible employees. Our task force met weekly with division management to ensure health and safety compliance in the workplace.

Through COS, we have launched “The Path to Zero,” an initiative to drive our incident rate to zero. At Carlisle, safety is everyone’s responsibility. This includes our own employees, as well as contractors, suppliers, customers and others. Carlisle is committed to adhere to safety policies, procedures, and training to incorporate safety into all aspects of business operations. All safety incidents are investigated to reduce safety risks and share lessons learned. Carlisle measures and reviews safety performance and strives for continuous improvement along the Path to Zero.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows can be affected by a number of factors including but not limited to those material factors set forth below, those set forth in our “Forward Looking Statements” disclosure in Item 7 and those set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, any one of which could cause the Company’s actual results to vary materially from recent results or from anticipated future results and make an investment in the Company speculative or risky.

Strategic, Business and Operational Risks

The Company’s earnings growth strategy is partially dependent on the acquisition and successful integration of other businesses.

The Company has a history of acquiring businesses as part of its earnings growth strategy. Typically, the Company considers acquiring companies that can be integrated within an existing business. Acquisitions of this type involve numerous risks, which may include a failure to realize expected revenue growth and operating and cost synergies from integration initiatives, increasing dependency on the markets served by the combined businesses or increased debt to finance the acquisitions.

The Company also considers the acquisition of businesses that may operate independent of existing businesses that involve similar risks with respect to a failure to realize expected revenue growth or operating and cost reductions within the acquired business and could increase the possibility of diverting corporate management’s attention from its existing operations.

The successful realization of revenue growth, cost reductions and synergies with our existing businesses, and within acquired stand-alone businesses, and increases in profitability overall, are dependent upon successful integration initiatives. If these integration initiatives are not fully realized, there may be a negative effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

See Note 3 for recent acquisition information.

The loss of, a significant decline in business with, or pricing pressure from, one or more of the Company’s key customers could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company operates in several niche markets in which a large portion of the segment’s revenues are attributable to a few large customers. See “Item 1. Business—Overview—Description of Businesses by Segment” for a discussion of customer concentrations by segment. A significant reduction in purchases by one or more of these customers could have an adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of one or more of the Company’s segments.

Table of Contents

Some of the Company’s key customers enjoy significant purchasing power that may be used to exert pricing pressure on the Company. Additionally, as many of the Company’s businesses are part of a long supply chain to the ultimate consumer, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely affected if one or more key customers elects to in-source or find alternative suppliers for the production of a product or products that the Company currently provides.

Dispositions, failure to successfully complete dispositions or restructuring activities could negatively affect the Company.

From time to time, the Company, as part of its commitment to concentrate on its core business, may dispose of all or a portion of certain businesses. Such dispositions involve a number of risks and present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including diversion of management's attention from the Company’s core businesses, increased expense associated with the dispositions, potential disputes with the customers or suppliers of the disposed businesses, potential disputes with the acquirers of the disposed businesses and a potential dilutive effect on the Company’s earnings per share. If dispositions are not completed in a timely manner, there may be a negative effect on the Company’s cash flows and/or the Company’s ability to execute its strategy.

Additionally, from time to time, the Company may undertake consolidation and other restructuring projects in an effort to reduce costs and streamline its operations. Such restructuring activities may divert management's attention from the Company’s core businesses, increase expenses on a short-term basis and lead to potential disputes with the employees, customers or suppliers of the affected businesses. If restructuring activities are not completed in a timely manner or if anticipated cost savings, synergies and efficiencies are not realized, there may be a negative effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Refer to Notes 4 and 8 for a discussion of disposition and restructuring matters.

Industry and Macroeconomic Risks

Several of the market segments that the Company serves are cyclical and sensitive to domestic and global economic conditions.

Several of the market segments in which the Company sells its products are, to varying degrees, cyclical and may experience periodic downturns in demand. For example, the CBF segment is susceptible to downturns in the construction, agriculture and mining industries. The CIT segment is susceptible to downturns in the commercial aerospace industry, the CCM segment is susceptible to downturns in the commercial construction industry and the CFT segment is susceptible to downturns in the automotive industry.

Uncertainty regarding global economic conditions may have an adverse effect on the businesses, results of operations and financial condition of the Company and its customers, distributors and suppliers. Among the economic factors which may affect performance are: manufacturing activity, commercial and residential construction, passenger airline travel, difficulties entering new markets and general economic conditions such as inflation, deflation, interest rates and credit availability. These effects may, among other things, negatively impact the level of purchases, capital expenditures and creditworthiness of the Company’s customers, distributors and suppliers, and therefore, the Company’s results of operations, margins and orders. The Company cannot predict if, when or how much worldwide economic conditions will fluctuate. These conditions are highly unpredictable and beyond the Company's control. If these conditions deteriorate, however, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.

The Company is subject to risks arising from international economic, political, legal and business factors.

The Company operates in global markets. Approximately 19% of the Company’s revenues in 2020 were generated outside the United States. In addition, to compete globally, all of the Company’s segments have manufacturing facilities outside the United States. In 2020, approximately 28% of cost of goods sold is derived from facilities outside of the United States.

The Company’s reliance on international revenues and international manufacturing bases exposes its business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows to a number of risks, including price and currency controls; government embargoes or foreign trade restrictions, including import and export tariffs; extraterritorial effects of U.S. laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; expropriation of assets; war, civil uprisings, acts of terror and riots; political instability; nationalization of private enterprises; hyperinflationary conditions; the necessity of obtaining governmental approval for new and continuing products and operations, currency conversion or repatriation of

Table of Contents

assets; legal systems of decrees, laws, taxes, regulations, interpretations and court decisions that are not always fully developed and that may be retroactively or arbitrarily applied; cost and availability of international labor, materials and shipping channels; and customer loyalty to local companies.

Additionally, there is uncertainty caused by the U.K.'s exit from the European Union commonly referred to as "Brexit." While the impacts of the E.U.-U.K. Trade and Cooperation Agreement recently enacted in connection with Brexit are not yet known, Brexit could adversely impact the U.K. and/or the European Union, and therefore the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.

The Company has significant concentrations in the domestic commercial construction market.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, approximately 71% of the Company’s revenues and approximately 120% of its operating income were generated by the CCM segment. Construction spending is affected by economic conditions, changes in interest rates, demographic and population shifts and changes in construction spending by federal, state and local governments. A decline in the commercial construction market could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, adverse weather conditions such as heavy or sustained rainfall, cold weather and snow can limit construction activity and reduce demand for roofing materials. Weather conditions can also be a positive factor, as demand for roofing materials may rise after harsh weather conditions due to the need for replacement materials.

The CCM segment competes through pricing, among other factors. Competition in this segment may increase pricing pressure on the Company which may negatively affect operating results in future periods.

Raw material costs are a significant component of the Company’s cost structure and are subject to volatility.

The Company utilizes petroleum-based products, steel and other commodities in its manufacturing processes. Raw materials, including inbound freight, accounted for approximately 61% of the Company’s cost of goods sold in 2020. Significant increases in the price of these materials may not be recovered through selling price increases and could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company also relies on global sources of raw materials, which could be adversely impacted by unfavorable shipping or trade arrangements, including import and export tariffs and global economic conditions. Refer to “Part II—Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for additional information regarding commodity price risk.

Regulatory and Legal Risks

The Company and certain of its customers’ operations are subject to regulatory risks.

Certain products manufactured by our businesses and certain of our customers operating in the aerospace and medical markets are subject to extensive regulation by the FAA and EASA, and FDA, respectively. It can be costly and time-consuming for the Company and our customers to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals and certifications to operate in these markets. Delays in FAA or EASA approvals or certifications of the products of our aerospace customers may impact the requirements for our interconnect components. Product approvals subject to regulations might not be granted for new medical devices on a timely basis, if at all. Proposed new regulations or changes to regulations could result in the need to incur significant additional costs to comply. Continued government scrutiny, including reviews of the FDA medical device pre-market authorization and post-market surveillance processes, may impact the requirements for our medical device components. Failure of the Company or any of its customers operating in these markets to effectively respond to changes to applicable laws and regulations or comply with existing and future laws and regulations may have a negative effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We are also subject to increasingly stringent environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to air emissions, wastewater discharges, chemical and hazardous waste management, and disposal. Some of these environmental laws hold owners or operators of land or businesses liable for their own and for previous owners’ or operators’ releases of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes. Other environmental laws and regulations require the obtainment of, and compliance with, environmental permits. To date, costs of complying with environmental, health, and safety requirements have not been material, and the Company did not have any significant accruals related to potential future costs of environmental remediation as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, nor are any material asset retirement obligations recorded as of that date. However, the nature of the Company’s operations and its long history of industrial activities at certain of its current or former facilities, as well as those acquired, could potentially result in material environmental liabilities or asset retirement obligations.

Table of Contents

While we must comply with existing and pending climate change legislation, regulation, international treaties or accords, current laws and regulations do not have a material impact on the Company's business, capital expenditures or financial position. Future events, including those relating to climate change or greenhouse gas regulation, could require the Company to incur expenses related to the modification or curtailment of operations, installation of pollution control equipment, or investigation and cleanup of contaminated sites.

General Risk Factors

The Company is subject to risks arising from global pandemics including COVID-19.

The Company’s businesses operate in market segments currently being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating during a global pandemic exposes the Company to a number of risks, including diminished demand for our products and our customers’ products, suspensions in the operations of our manufacturing facilities, maintenance of appropriate labor levels and our ability to ship products to our customers, interruptions in our supply chains and distribution systems, increases in operating costs related to pay and benefits for our employees, collection of trade receivables in accordance with their terms, potential impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets; all of which, in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, diminished demand for our products as a result of COVID-19. The decline in domestic and international passenger airline travel caused by COVID-19 is negatively impacting demand for our products sold to customers operating in the commercial aerospace industry. COVID-19 related delays in nonresidential replacement starts in certain regions are negatively impacting demand for our products sold to customers operating in the nonresidential construction materials industry. While these COVID-19 related impacts have not to date, in the aggregate, had a material adverse impact on the Company, we are unable to predict the extent or duration of these impacts as they will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, such as the duration of the coronavirus outbreak, the timing and extent of increased passenger airline travel and nonresidential construction and construction repair and replacement activity, and the continued ability of our businesses to continue to operate within all applicable COVID-19 related government rules and regulations.

Security breaches or significant disruptions of our information technology systems or violations of data privacy laws could adversely affect our business.

We rely on information technology systems, some of which are managed by third-parties, to process, transmit and store electronic information, and to manage or support critical business processes. Security breaches of these systems could result in the unauthorized or inappropriate access to confidential information or personal data entrusted to us by our business partners. While we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, security breaches to our information technology systems, none of them to date has had a material impact on the Company. Additionally, these systems may be disrupted as a result of attacks by computer hackers or viruses, human error or wrongdoing, operational failures or other catastrophic events. The Company leverages its internal information technology infrastructures, and those of its business partners, to enable, sustain and protect its global business interests, however, any of the aforementioned breaches or disruptions could result in legal claims, liability or penalties under privacy laws or damage to operations or to the Company's reputation, which could adversely affect our business.

We are subject to data privacy and security laws, regulations and customer-imposed controls as a result of having access to and processing confidential, personal and/or sensitive data in the course of business. If we are unable to maintain reliable information technology systems and appropriate controls with respect to privacy and security requirements, we may suffer regulatory consequences that could be costly or otherwise adversely affect our business.

Currency fluctuation could have a material impact on the Company’s reported results of business operations.

The Company’s global revenues and other activities are translated into U.S. Dollars ("USD") for reporting purposes. The strengthening or weakening of the USD could result in unfavorable translation effects as the results of transactions in foreign countries are translated into USD. In addition, sales and purchases in currencies other than our subsidiaries functional currencies (primarily the USD, Euro, Chinese Renminbi and British Pound) expose the Company to fluctuations in foreign currencies relative to those functional currencies. Increased strength of the functional currency will decrease the Company’s reported revenues or margins in respect of sales conducted in

Table of Contents

foreign currencies to the extent the Company is unable or determines not to increase local currency prices. Likewise, decreased strength of the functional currency could have a material adverse effect on the cost of materials and products. Many of the Company’s sales that are exported by its USD functional subsidiaries to foreign countries are denominated in USD, reducing currency exposure. However, increased strength of the USD may decrease the competitiveness of our U.S. subsidiaries’ products that are sold in USD within foreign locations.

The Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the exposure of certain of our results of operations and cash flows to such fluctuations. See “Part II—Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for a discussion on foreign currency exchange risk.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Carlisle Companies Incorporated (“Carlisle”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a diversified manufacturer of highly engineered products. Carlisle is committed to generating superior shareholder returns by combining a unique management style of decentralization, entrepreneurial spirit, active mergers and acquisitions, and a balanced and disciplined approach to capital deployment, all with a culture of continuous improvement as embodied in the Carlisle Operating System ("COS"). Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of Company management. All references to “Notes” refer to our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. For more information regarding our consolidated results, segment results, and liquidity and capital resources for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2018, refer to "Part II—Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Company's 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Executive Overview

2020 demonstrated yet again the strong earnings power of Carlisle's business model and our proven ability to deliver sustainable earnings even in significant downturns. Carlisle Construction Materials ("CCM") once again drove the majority of positives in Carlisle's results, supported by strong re-roofing trends, continued price discipline and management of raw material costs. CCM also made significant strides in integrating and improving our newer platforms of architectural metals and polyurethanes. CCM's sustainable cash generating abilities, combined with the Carlisle Experience, provide us with the financial and strategic flexibility that supports our conviction in achieving Vision 2025.

Our other business platforms made important improvements despite being impacted significantly in a challenging year. Carlisle Interconnect Technologies ("CIT") delivered results in line with our expectations in a year of record declines in the aerospace industry by focusing on delivering new products to increase our content per plane, rightsizing its manufacturing footprint, further integrating its medical platform, and continuing to invest in our test and measurement and sensors product lines. Carlisle Fluid Technologies ("CFT") exceeded expectations, leveraging a strong focus on execution while introducing exciting, innovative new products. Finally, Carlisle Brake & Friction ("CBF") enters 2021 looking to benefit from our recent restructuring activities and with solid end-market tailwinds in core markets of construction, mining and agriculture, further reinforced by an improved outlook for dealer inventory replenishment after reductions in the last several years.

We remain balanced in our capital deployment approach. We are increasing our capital expenditures in 2021 to drive future growth. We continue to manage an active merger and acquisition pipeline focused on synergistic businesses that complement our high-margin product lines. Finally, we will remain active in returning capital to shareholders. Notably, we raised our dividend in 2020 for the 44th consecutive year and returned $495 million to shareholders in the form of share repurchases and dividends.

Vision 2025 gave us clear direction and consistency of mission during 2020 and will continue to guide our efforts as we accelerate into the expected economic recovery in 2021.

Revenues decreased in 2020 primarily reflecting lower volumes in all of our segments, which have continued to be impacted by the global economic slowdown due to the coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19"). Contributions from acquisitions, primarily Providien, LLC ("Providien"), partially offset the decrease in volume.

The decrease in operating income in 2020 primarily reflected lower volumes as well as lower production levels increasing per unit costs and wage inflation. The decrease in operating income was partially offset by raw material savings, particularly in our CCM segment, lower incentive compensation and travel costs, and savings from COS.

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations decreased primarily from the above operating income performance ($2.27 per share) and higher interest expense ($0.14 per share), partially offset by reduced average shares outstanding ($0.26 per share) resulting from our share repurchase program.

We generated $696.7 million in operating cash flows during 2020 and utilized cash on hand and cash provided by operations to return capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, and fund capital expenditures.

The decrease in revenues in 2020 primarily reflected lower sales volumes in all segments, which continue to be impacted by the global economic slowdown due to COVID-19. CIT's volume decline was led by lower sales in the commercial aerospace market, and CCM, CBF and CFT experienced declines in sales volumes across all markets in which they operate. Partially offsetting the decline was a contribution from acquisitions of $101.4 million in 2020, primarily from Providien in the CIT segment.

The decrease in selling and administrative expenses in 2020 primarily reflected lower travel, incentive compensation and medical costs. The decreases were partially offset by higher legal and consulting fees, termination costs associated with the expiration of the agreement to acquire Draka Fileca SAS and wage inflation. Also included in selling and administrative expenses were exit and disposal costs totaling $9.5 million in 2020, primarily at CBF, CFT and CIT, attributable to our restructuring initiatives, compared with $5.6 million in 2019.

Table of Contents

The provision for income taxes on continuing operations for 2020 is lower than 2019 primarily reflecting lower pre-tax income in the U.S., and to a lesser extent in foreign jurisdictions. This equated to lower taxes of $42.7 million, with approximately $1.8 million of net lower taxes related to other permanent differences and the impact of prior year taxes in the current year, primarily related to:

•Favorable change of $8.7 million primarily related to the lapse of statutes on uncertain tax positions;

•Unfavorable of $4.9 million related to reduction in return to provision adjustments; and

•Unfavorable change of $2.1 million related to windfall tax benefits for current year stock-based compensation.

Refer to Note 9 for further information related to income taxes.

Loss from Discontinued Operations

The loss from discontinued operations of $4.1 million in 2020 relates to workers' compensation accruals associated with a former business disposed of in 2005.

The loss from discontinued operations of $0.9 million in 2019 relates to an environmental remediation accrual associated with a former business disposed of in 2009, partially offset by the settlement of prior income tax positions in the current year related to the sale of Carlisle FoodService Products.

Refer to Note 4 for additional information related to discontinued operations.

Segment Results of Operations

We continue to operate our facilities as essential business operations, while adhering to all health and safety measures for onsite employees. We have taken several steps to address the overall effects of COVID-19 on Carlisle and continue to assess the risks and potential impacts on our businesses. We have developed plans and implemented actions to mitigate risks and enhance the performance of our businesses in an uncertain environment dependent largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Carlisle Construction Materials (“CCM”)

CCM delivered 1.0% year-over-year improvement in operating income despite a 7.4% decline in revenue. Notably, there was sequential improvement in sales beginning in September, when sales increased year-over-year for the first time since the pandemic began that carried into the fourth quarter. CCM was able to expand operating margin through favorable raw materials pricing, maintained price discipline and improved operating efficiencies from COS.

We continue to invest in CCM Europe, evidenced by new regional leadership, expansion of our world-class facility in Waltershausen, Germany and several new product introductions planned for 2021. Within our architectural metals platform, we have set plans in motion for three new locations in underserved regions around the U.S. while making progress consolidating our teams to drive commercial synergies and operational efficiencies. Our polyurethane business is driving sustainable growth providing products and solutions with energy efficiency in both residential and commercial applications. The polyurethane team, in collaboration with CFT engineering, has introduced an industry-first integrated spray foam insulation equipment solution (IntelliSpray), which optimizes productivity and material savings when used with CCM's complete product portfolio of open and closed cell products.

CCM’s operating margin percentage growth in 2020 was driven by favorable raw material pricing, lower travel and administrative costs and savings from COS, partially offset by lower volumes, unfavorable price and wage inflation.

Carlisle Interconnect Technologies (“CIT”)

CIT delivered results in line with our expectations in a year of record declines in the aerospace industry by focusing on delivering new products to increase our content per plane, rightsizing its manufacturing footprint, further integrating its medical platform, and continuing to invest in our test and measurement and sensors product lines.

In August 2020, as a result of the market declines caused by COVID-19, we announced the closure of our manufacturing operations in Kent, Washington, and the relocation of selected operations to our existing facilities primarily in North America. This project is estimated to take 12 to 18 months to complete. Total project costs are expected to approximate $18.3 million, with approximately $11.5 million remaining to be incurred.

In April 2020, we announced plans to exit our manufacturing operations in Mobile, Alabama, and relocate the majority of those operations to CIT's existing manufacturing facility in Franklin, Wisconsin. This project is substantially complete with cumulative costs of $1.6 million recognized through December 31, 2020.

In January 2019, we announced the relocation of our connectors manufacturing operations in El Segundo, California, and Riverside, California, to our existing lower cost facilities in North America. This project is complete with cumulative costs of $20.8 million recognized through December 31, 2020. Refer to Note 8 for further information regarding exit and disposal activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

A summary of our cash and cash equivalents by region follows:


(in millions)	December 31, 2020		December 31, 2019
Europe	$	114.8	$	62.2
North America (excluding U.S.)	50.8		43.4

U.S. cash and cash equivalents	687.2		158.6
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	902.2	$	351.2

We maintain liquidity sources primarily consisting of cash and cash equivalents as well as availability under our Facility. In the near term, cash on hand is our primary source of liquidity. The increase in cash and cash equivalents compared with December 31, 2019, was primarily related to cash generated from operations and proceeds from our public offering of $750.0 million of unsecured senior notes due in March 2030, partially offset by the early redemption of our $250.0 million notes due in December 2020. Additionally, during 2020 we utilized cash on hand to fund share repurchases, capital expenditures and pay dividends to shareholders.

In certain countries, primarily China, our cash is subject to local laws and regulations that require government approval for conversion of such cash to U.S. Dollars, as well as for transfer of such cash, both temporarily and permanently outside of that jurisdiction. In addition, upon permanent transfer of cash outside of certain jurisdictions, primarily in China, we may be subject to withholding taxes, and as such we have accrued $4.6 million in anticipation of those taxes as of December 31, 2020.

Despite the continued uncertainty in global markets resulting from COVID-19, we believe we have sufficient cash on hand, availability under the Facility and operating cash flows to meet our business requirements for at least the next 12 months. At the discretion of management, the Company may use available cash on capital expenditures, dividends, common stock repurchases, acquisitions and strategic investments.

We also anticipate we will have sufficient cash on hand, as well as available liquidity under the Facility, to pay outstanding principal balances of our existing notes by the respective maturity dates. Another potential source of liquidity is access to public capital markets, subject to market conditions. We may access the capital markets to

Operating Activities

We generated operating cash flows totaling $696.7 million for 2020 (including working capital sources of $81.5 million), compared with $703.1 million for 2019 (including working capital uses of $9.5 million). Lower operating cash flows in 2020 primarily reflect lower cash earnings, partially offset by a decline in working capital, both as a result of a decline in volumes.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities of $122.6 million for 2020 primarily reflected capital expenditures of $95.5 million and the acquisition of Motion Tech Automation, LLC ("MTA"), net of cash acquired, for $33.0 million. Cash used in investing activities of $694.9 million for 2019 primarily reflected the acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of Providien for $328.7 million, Petersen for $202.0 million, MicroConnex Corporation ("MicroConnex") for $45.4 million and other acquisitions for $40.3 million, and capital expenditures of $88.9 million.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $24.7 million for 2020. Net proceeds from our February notes offering, partially offset by the early redemption of our senior notes due December 15, 2020, and financing costs associated with our February notes offering, totaled $458.0 million. Additionally, we used cash of $382.4 million for share repurchases and $112.4 million for cash dividend payments, reflecting the increased annual dividend of $2.05 per share. Cash used in financing activities of $461.2 million for 2019 primarily reflected $382.1 million of share repurchases and $102.9 million of cash dividend payments.

Share Repurchases

On February 5, 2019, the Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a 5 million share increase in the Company's stock repurchase program. We repurchased approximately 3.1 million shares in 2020 as part of our plan to return capital to shareholders, utilizing $382.4 million of our cash on hand. As of December 31, 2020, we had authority to repurchase 1.9 million shares.

On February 2, 2021, the Board approved an additional 5 million share increase in the Company's stock repurchase program. Purchases may occur from time to time in the open market and no maximum purchase price has been set. The decision to repurchase shares depends on price, availability and other corporate developments. The Company plans to continue to repurchase shares in 2021 on an opportunistic basis.

We intend to pay dividends to our shareholders and have increased our dividend rate annually for the past 44 years. On February 2, 2021, the Board declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.525 per share, payable on March 1, 2021, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 19, 2021.

Debt Instruments

Senior Notes

On February 28, 2020, we issued a notice for the redemption in full of our $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 5.125% notes due December 15, 2020 (the “2020 Notes”). The 2020 Notes were redeemed on March 29, 2020 at the redemption price of $262.1 million. We recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt totaling $8.8 million in the first quarter of 2020.

We also have senior unsecured notes outstanding of $350.0 million due November 15, 2022 (at a stated interest rate of 3.75%), $400.0 million due December 1, 2024 (at a stated interest rate of 3.5%) and $600.0 million due December 1, 2027 (at a stated interest rate of 3.75%) that are rated BBB by Standard & Poor’s and Baa2 by Moody’s.

Revolving Credit Facility

On February 5, 2020, we entered into our Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) administered by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Among other things, the Amendment extended the maturity date of the Facility from February 21, 2022, to February 5, 2025.

During 2020, borrowings under the Facility totaled $500.0 million with a weighted average interest rate of 1.9%, and repayments totaled $500.0 million. As of December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings under the Facility and $1.0 billion of availability. During the year ended and as of December 31, 2019 there were no borrowings under the Facility.

Debt Covenants

We are required to meet various restrictive covenants and limitations under our senior notes and revolving credit facility including certain leverage ratios, interest coverage ratios and limits on outstanding debt balances held by certain subsidiaries. We were in compliance with all covenants and limitations as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Refer to Note 14 for further information on our debt instruments.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1. In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company’s management must make informed decisions which impact the reported amounts and related disclosures. Such decisions include the selection of the appropriate accounting principles to be applied and assumptions on which to base estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates, including those related to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, valuation of long-lived assets, revenue recognition, income taxes and extended product warranties on an ongoing basis. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, our observation of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Business Combinations

As noted in Executive Overview we have a history and a strategy of acquiring businesses. We account for these business combinations as required by GAAP under the acquisition method of accounting, which requires us to recognize the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Deferred taxes are recorded for any differences between fair value and tax basis of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and can

Table of Contents

vary based on the structure of the acquisition as to whether it is a taxable or non-taxable transaction. To the extent the purchase price of the acquired business exceeds the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including deferred income taxes recorded in connection with the transaction, such excess is recognized as goodwill (see further below for our critical accounting estimate regarding post-acquisition accounting for goodwill). The most critical areas of judgment in applying the acquisition method include selecting the appropriate valuation techniques and assumptions that are used to measure the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at fair value, particularly for intangible assets, contingent consideration, acquired tangible assets such as property, plant and equipment, and inventory.

The key techniques and assumptions utilized by type of major acquired asset or liability generally include:

Asset/Liability

Typical Valuation Technique

Key Assumptions

Technology-based intangible assets

Relief from royalty method

•Estimated future revenues from acquired technology

•Royalty rates that would be paid if licensed from a third-party

•Discount rates

Customer-based intangible assets

Multiple-period excess earnings method

•Estimated future revenues from existing customers

•Rates of customer attrition

•Discount rates

•Contributory asset charges

Trademark/trade name intangible assets

Relief from royalty method

•Estimated future revenues from acquired trademark/trade name

•Economic useful lives (definite vs. indefinite)

•Royalty rates that would be paid if licensed from a third-party

•Discount rates

Property, plant & equipment

Market comparable transactions (real property) and replacement cost, new less economic deprecation (personal property)

•Similarity of subject property to market comparable transactions

•Costs of like equipment in new condition

•Economic obsolescence rates

Inventory

Net realizable value less (i) estimated costs of completion and disposal, and (ii) a reasonable profit allowance for the seller

•Estimated percentage complete (WIP inventory)

•Estimated selling prices

•Estimated completion and disposal costs

•Estimated profit allowance for the seller

Contingent consideration

Discounted future cash flows

•Future revenues and/or net earnings

•Discount rates

In selecting techniques and assumptions noted above, we generally engage third-party, independent valuation professionals to assist us in developing the assumptions and applying the valuation techniques to a particular business combination transaction. In particular, the discount rates selected are compared to and evaluated with (i) the industry weighted-average cost of capital, (ii) the inherent risks associated with each type of asset and (iii) the level and timing of future cash flows appropriately reflecting market participant assumptions.

As noted above, goodwill represents a residual amount of purchase price. However, the primary items that generate goodwill include the value of the synergies between the acquired company and our existing businesses and the value of the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualifies for recognition as an intangible asset. Refer to Note 3 for more information regarding business combinations, specifically the items that generated goodwill in our recent acquisitions.

Subsequent Measurement of Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually, or more often if impairment indicators are present, for impairment at a reporting unit level. Goodwill is tested for impairment via a one-step process by comparing the fair value of goodwill with its carrying value. We recognize an impairment for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units based on the income approach utilizing the

Table of Contents

discounted cash flow method ("DCF") and the market approach utilizing the public company market multiple method. The key techniques and assumptions generally include:


Valuation Technique						Key Assumptions
Discounted future cash flows						•Estimated future revenues •Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") margins •Discount rates
Market multiple method						•Peer public company group •Financial performance of reporting units relative to peer public company group

We have determined that we have four reporting units and have allocated goodwill to those reporting units as follows:


(in millions)	December 31, 2020		December 31, 2019
Carlisle Construction Materials	$	613.0	$	597.1
Carlisle Interconnect Technologies	835.6		835.2
Carlisle Fluid Technologies	193.1		187.5
Carlisle Brake & Friction	96.5		96.5
Total	$	1,738.2	$	1,716.3

Annual Impairment Test

We test our goodwill for impairment annually as of October 1. For the 2020 impairment test, the CCM reporting unit was tested for impairment using a qualitative approach. Under this approach, an entity may assess qualitative factors as well as relevant events and circumstances to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Through the results of our analysis, we determined that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the CCM reporting unit was less than its carrying value and thus, a quantitative analysis was not performed. The CIT, CFT and CBF reporting units were tested for impairment using the quantitative approach described above, resulting in fair value that substantially exceeded the carrying value for each of the reporting units.

We will continue to closely monitor actual results versus expectations as well as whether and to what extent any significant changes in current events or conditions, including changes to the impacts of COVID-19 on our business, result in corresponding changes to our expectations about future estimated cash flows, discount rates and market multiples. If our adjusted expectations of the operating results, both in size and timing, of CIT, CFT and CBF do not materialize, if the discount rate increases (based on increases in interest rates, market rates of return or market volatility) or if market multiples decline, we may be required to record goodwill impairment charges, which may be material.

While we believe our conclusions regarding the estimates of fair value of our reporting units are appropriate, these estimates are subject to uncertainty and by nature include judgments and estimates regarding various factors. These factors include the rate and extent of growth in the markets that our reporting units serve, the realization of future sales price and volume increases, fluctuations in exchange rates, fluctuations in price and availability of key raw materials, future operating efficiencies and, as it pertains to discount rates, the volatility in interest rates and costs of equity.

Refer to Note 12 for more information regarding goodwill.

Subsequent Measurement of Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

As discussed above, indefinite-lived intangible assets are recognized and recorded at their acquisition-date fair value. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested annually at the appropriate unit of account, which generally equals the individual asset, or more often if impairment indicators are present. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment via a one-step process by comparing the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. We recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the intangible asset's fair value. We generally estimate the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets consistent with the techniques noted above using our expectations about future cash flows, discount rates and royalty rates for purposes of the annual test. We monitor for significant changes in those

Table of Contents

assumptions during interim reporting periods. We also periodically re-assess indefinite-lived intangible assets as to whether its useful lives can be determined, and if so, we would begin amortizing any applicable intangible asset.

Annual Impairment Test

We test our indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of October 1. For the 2020 impairment test, the CCM indefinite-lived intangible assets were tested for impairment using a qualitative approach. The CIT, CFT and CBF indefinite-lived intangible assets were tested for impairment using the quantitative approach described above, resulting in fair values that substantially exceeded the carrying values, with the exception of four trade names with an aggregate carrying value of $68.0 million that exceeded their carrying amounts by less than 5%.

We will continue to closely monitor actual results versus expectations as well as whether and to what extent any significant changes in current events or conditions, including changes to the impacts of COVID-19 on our business, result in corresponding changes to our expectations about future estimated revenues and discount rates. If our adjusted expectations of the revenues, both in size and timing, of CIT, CFT and CBF trade names do not materialize or if the discount rate increases (based on increases in interest rates, market rates of return or market volatility), we may be required to record trade name impairment charges, which may be material.

Refer to Note 12 for more information regarding intangible assets.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets or asset groups, including amortizable intangible assets, are tested for recoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount of the asset or asset group. For purposes of testing for impairment, we group our long-lived assets classified as held and used at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets and liabilities, which means that in many cases multiple assets are tested for recovery as a group. Our asset groupings vary based on the related business in which the long-lived assets are employed and the interrelationship between those long-lived assets in producing net cash flows; for example, multiple manufacturing facilities may work in concert with one another or may work on a stand-alone basis to produce net cash flows. We utilize our long-lived assets in multiple industries and economic environments and our asset groupings reflect these various factors.

We monitor the operating and cash flow results of our long-lived assets or asset groups classified as held and used to identify whether events and circumstances indicate the remaining useful lives of those assets should be adjusted, or if the carrying value of those assets or asset groups may not be recoverable. Undiscounted estimated future cash flows are compared to the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group in the event indicators of impairment are identified. In developing our estimates of future undiscounted cash flows, we utilize our internal estimates of future revenues, costs and other net cash flows from operating the long-lived asset or asset group over the life of the asset or primary asset, if an asset group. This requires us to make judgments about future levels of sales volume, pricing, raw material costs and other operating expenses.

If the undiscounted estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount, we determine the fair value of the asset or asset group and record an impairment charge in current earnings to the extent carrying value exceeds fair value. Fair values may be determined based on estimated discounted cash flows, by prices for like or similar assets in similar markets or a combination of both. All of our asset groups were recoverable as of December 31, 2020.

Long-lived assets or asset groups that are part of a disposal group that meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale are not assessed for impairment, but rather a loss on sale is recorded against the disposal group if fair value, less cost to sell, of the disposal group is less than its carrying value. If the disposal group’s fair value exceeds its carrying value, we record a gain, assuming all other criteria for a sale are met, when the transaction closes.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our products or services. Revenue is measured as the amount of total consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Total expected consideration, in certain cases, is estimated at each reporting period, including interim periods, and is subject to change with variability dependent on future events, such as customer behavior related to future purchase volumes, returns, early payment discounts and other customer allowances. Estimates for rights of return, discounts and rebates to customers, and other adjustments for variable consideration are provided for at the time of sale as a deduction to revenue, based on an analysis of historical experience and actual sales data. Changes in these

Table of Contents

estimates are reflected as an adjustment to revenue in the period identified. Sales, value added and other taxes collected concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

We receive payment at the inception of the contract for separately priced extended service warranties, and revenue is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contracts. The term of these warranties ranges from five to 40 years. The weighted average life of the contracts as of December 31, 2020, is approximately 20 years.

Additionally, critical judgments and estimates related to revenue recognition relative to certain customer contracts in our CIT and CFT segments, in which they are contract manufacturers or where they have entered into an agreement to provide both services (engineering and design) and products resulting from those services, include the following:

•Determination of whether revenue is earned at a "point-in-time" or "over time": Where contracts provide for the manufacture of highly customized products with no alternative use and provide CIT or CFT the right to payment for work performed to date, including a normal margin for that effort, we have concluded those contracts require the recognition of revenue over time.

•Measurement of revenue using the key inputs of expected gross margin and inventory in our possession. We utilize an estimate of expected gross margin based on historical margin patterns and management’s experience, which vary based on the customers and end markets being evaluated. There are multiple unique customer contracts at CIT or CFT. Accordingly, the estimate of expected margin is done for each customer discretely. We review the margins for these categories as contracts, customers and product profiles change over time to ensure that the margin expectations reflect the best available data for each category.

Income Taxes

Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best estimate of current and future taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates are required in the determination of the consolidated income tax expense.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and its reported amounts in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets in the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies and results of recent operations.

We believe that it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain U.S. federal, state and foreign net operating loss ("NOL"), and credit carryforwards will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, we have provided a valuation allowance of $7.1 million on the deferred tax assets related to these carryforwards.

We (1) record unrecognized tax benefits as liabilities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740") and (2) adjust these liabilities when our judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Because of the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is available.

Extended Product Warranty Reserves

We offer extended warranty contracts on sales of certain products, the most significant being those offered on our installed roofing systems within the CCM segment. Current costs of services performed under these contracts are expensed as incurred. We also record an additional loss and a corresponding reserve if the total expected costs of providing services under the contract exceed unamortized deferred revenues equal to such excess. We estimate total expected warranty costs using actuarially derived estimates of future costs of servicing the warranties. The key inputs that are utilized to develop these estimates include historical claims experience by type of roofing membrane, location, and labor and material costs. The estimates of the volume and severity of these claims and associated costs are dependent upon the above assumptions and future results could differ from our current expectations. We currently do not have any material loss reserves recorded associated with our extended product warranties.

Items Affecting Comparability

Items affecting comparability include costs, and losses or gains related to, among other things, growth and profitability improvement initiatives and other events outside of core business operations (such as exit and disposal and facility rationalization charges, costs of and related to acquisitions, idle capacity and labor costs, asset impairments, net of subsidies, litigation settlement costs, insurance settlements, gains and losses from and costs related to divestitures, losses on debt extinguishment, and non-comparable tax items). Because these items affect our, or any particular operating segment's, financial condition or results in a specific period in which they are recognized, we believe it is appropriate to present the total of these items to provide information regarding the comparability of results of operations period to period. The components of items affecting comparability follows:


	2020
(in millions, except per share amounts)	Impact to Operating Income		Impact to Income from Continuing Operations			Impact to Diluted EPS
Exit and disposal costs	$	24.5	$	18.5		$	0.34
Other facility rationalization costs	2.1		1.6			0.03
Acquisition related costs:
Inventory step-up amortization	0.7		0.5			0.01
Other acquisition costs	3.7		2.9			0.05
Idle capacity and labor costs, net of subsidies	8.8		6.7			0.12
Impairment charges	6.0		4.6			0.08

Tax items	—		(16.9)		(1)	(0.31)
Total items affecting comparability	$	44.3	$	24.2		$	0.44

(1)Excludes $(4.6) million of tax items related to indemnification asset write-offs which had zero impact to income from continuing operations and diluted EPS from continuing operations.


	2019
(in millions, except per share amounts)	Impact to Operating Income		Impact to Income from Continuing Operations			Impact to Diluted EPS
Exit and disposal costs	$	13.7	$	10.3		$	0.18
Other facility rationalization costs	5.7		4.4			0.08
Acquisition related costs:
Inventory step-up amortization	3.1		2.4			0.04
Other acquisition costs	8.3		6.9			0.12
Gains from contingent consideration	(5.0)		(5.0)			(0.09)


Gains from divestitures	(2.1)		(1.2)			(0.02)
Gain from step acquisition, net	—		(0.3)			—
Tax items	—		(13.2)		(1)	(0.23)
Total items affecting comparability	$	23.7	$	4.3		$	0.08

(1)Excludes $(1.9) million of tax items related to indemnification asset write-offs which had zero impact to income from continuing operations and diluted EPS from continuing operations.

The impact to income from continuing operations reflects the tax effect of items affecting comparability, which is based on the statutory rate in the jurisdiction in which the expense or income is deductible or taxable. The per share impact of items affecting comparability to each period is based on diluted shares outstanding using the two-class method (refer to Note 5).

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the potential or expected impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Forward-looking statements generally use words such as "expect," "foresee," "anticipate," "believe," "project," "should," "estimate," "will," "plans," "intends," "forecast," and similar expressions, and reflect our expectations concerning the future. Such statements are made based on known events and circumstances at the time of publication and, as such, are subject in the future to unforeseen risks and uncertainties. It is possible that our future performance may differ materially from current expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements, due to a variety of factors such as: risks from the global COVID-19 pandemic, including, for example, expectations regarding the impact of COVID-19 on our businesses, including on customer demand, supply chains and distribution systems, production, our ability to maintain appropriate labor levels, our ability to ship products to our customers, our future results, or our full-year financial outlook; increasing price and product/service competition by foreign and domestic competitors, including new entrants; technological developments and changes; the ability to continue to introduce competitive new products and services on a timely, cost-effective basis; our mix of products/services; increases in raw material costs which cannot be recovered in product pricing; domestic and foreign governmental and public policy changes including environmental and industry regulations; threats associated with and efforts to combat terrorism; protection and validity of patent and other intellectual property rights; the identification of strategic acquisition targets and our successful completion of any transaction and integration of our strategic acquisitions; the cyclical nature of our businesses; and the outcome of pending and future litigation and governmental proceedings; and the other factors discussed in the reports we file with or furnish to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") from time to time. In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions and growth rates, the condition of the financial and credit markets and general domestic and international economic conditions including interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations. Further, any conflict in the international arena may adversely affect general market conditions and our future performance. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which that statement is made, and we undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances, including unanticipated events, after the date on which that statement is made, unless otherwise required by law. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all of those factors, nor can it assess the impact of each of those factors on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk in the form of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices for raw materials. We may, from time to time, enter into derivative financial instruments to manage these risks; however, we do not utilize such instruments or contracts for speculative or trading purposes. In the event that we enter into a derivative financial instrument, it is possible that such future dated contracts could no longer serve as a hedge if the projected cash flow does not occur as anticipated at the time of contract initiation.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risks as a result of our borrowing and investing activities, which principally includes long-term borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund our business operations and capital requirements. We may enter into interest rate swaps from time to time to manage our mix of fixed and variable interest rate debt effectively. We may enter into other interest rate derivatives such as treasury locks or zero cost collars to manage forecasted interest rates associated with bond offerings. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, there were no interest rate swaps or other derivative instruments in place and, at both dates, all of our long-term debt was fixed-rate and U.S. Dollar denominated. We also have a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility that allows for borrowings at a variable interest rate. We had no outstanding borrowings under this facility as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The nature and amount of our long-term debt may vary from time to time as a result of business requirements, market conditions and other factors. We consider the risk to our results of operations from changes in market rates of interest to be minimal as our interest bearing debt instruments are fixed-rate.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

A portion of our operating cash flows are denominated in foreign currencies. As such we are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We are primarily exposed to the exchange rates of currencies including the Chinese Renminbi, Euro, British Pound, Canadian Dollar and Japanese Yen. We continually evaluate our foreign currency exposure based on current market conditions and the locations in which we conduct our business. We manage most of our foreign currency exposure on a consolidated basis, which allows us to net certain exposures and take advantage of natural offsets. In order to mitigate foreign currency risk, we may, from time to time, enter into derivative financial instruments, generally foreign currency forward contracts, to hedge the cash flows related to certain foreign currency denominated sales and purchase transactions expected within one year and the related recognized trade receivable or payable. The gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the value of the related exposures. It is our policy to enter into foreign currency derivative financial instruments only to the extent considered necessary to meet the objectives set forth above. We generally do not hedge the risk of foreign currency net investments into U.S. Dollars for financial reporting.

We had foreign exchange contracts with maturities less than one year for instruments that are designated and qualify as an accounting cash flow hedge with an aggregate U.S. Dollar equivalent notional value of $93.5 million and $108.1 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The gross fair value was $5.0 million and $2.0 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the contracts is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is recognized in operating income when the underlying forecasted transaction impacts earnings. We also had foreign exchange contracts with maturities less than one year for instruments that are not designed as a cash flow hedge, but nonetheless are entered into as an economic hedge of certain foreign currency risk with an aggregate U.S. Dollar equivalent notional value of $65.4 million and $124.4 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The gross fair value was $0.2 million and $0.6 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from these contracts are not significant and are recognized in other non-operating expense, net and partially offset corresponding foreign exchange gains and losses on the underlying items being economically hedged.

The near-term sensitivity of these contracts to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is also minimal as they are scheduled to mature within 12 months. Further, changes in the fair value of these contracts will be offset by changes in the cash flows of the underlying foreign currency denominated sales, purchases, assets and liabilities which the contracts are intended to mitigate (both accounting and economic hedges).

Commodity Price Risk

We continually address the impact of changes in commodity prices on our results of operations and cash flow. Our exposure to changes in commodity prices is principally indirect as we do not directly purchase exchange-traded commodities, but rather purchase raw materials that are a result of further downstream processing (as noted in Item 1 of this Form 10-K), primarily inputs resulting from processing crude oil, natural gas, iron ore, gold, silver and copper. We generally manage the risk of changes in commodity prices that impact our raw material costs by seeking to (i) offset increased costs through increases in prices, (ii) alter the nature and mix of raw materials used to manufacture our finished goods or (iii) enter into commodity-linked sales or purchase contracts, all to the extent possible based on competitive and other economic factors. We may also from time to time enter into derivative financial instruments to mitigate such impact however, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 we had no derivative financial instruments in place.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Carlisle Companies Incorporated

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Carlisle Companies Incorporated (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 11, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Goodwill – CFT and CBF Reporting Units –Refer to Notes 1 and 12 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units using the income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method and market approach utilizing the public company market multiple method. The determination of the fair value using the discounted cash flow method requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margins, and discount rates. The determination of the fair value using the market approach requires management to make significant assumptions related to market revenue multiples and EBITDA multiples from within a comparable industry group. The fair values of the CFT and CBF reporting units exceeded their carrying values and, therefore, no impairment was recognized.

Given the significant judgments management makes to estimate the fair value of the CFT and CBF reporting units, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenues and operating unit EBITDA margins, selection of the discount rates, and the

Table of Contents

selection of multiples applied to revenue and EBITDA required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the forecasts of future revenues and operating unit EBITDA margins (“forecasts”), the selection of discount rates, and the selection of comparable market revenue and EBITDA multiples for the CFT and CBF reporting units included the following procedures:

•We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s goodwill impairment evaluation, including those over the determination of the fair value of CFT and CBF, such as controls related to management’s forecasts and the selection of discount rates and comparable market revenue and EBITDA multiples.

•We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast by comparing actual results to management’s historical forecasts.

•We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecasts by comparing the forecasts to (1) historical results of the Company and its competitors, (2) internal communications to management, and (3) forecasted information included in industry reports of the Company and companies in its peer group.

•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the discount rates, including testing the underlying source information and the mathematical accuracy of the calculations, and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rates selected by management.

•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the revenue and EBITDA multiples, including testing the underlying source information and mathematical accuracy of the calculations, and evaluating the appropriateness of the Company’s selection of companies in its industry comparable groups.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Carlisle Companies Incorporated

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Carlisle Companies Incorporated (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, of the Company and our report dated February 11, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at Motion Tech Automation, LLC (“MTA”) which was acquired on July 22, 2020 and whose financial statements constitute less than 1% of total assets and net sales of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting of MTA.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible 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 the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed 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 its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1—Summary of Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

Carlisle Companies Incorporated, its wholly owned subsidiaries and their subsidiaries, referred to herein as the “Company” or “Carlisle,” is a global diversified company that designs, manufactures and markets a wide range of products that serve a broad range of markets including commercial roofing, energy, agriculture, mining, construction, aerospace and defense electronics, medical technology, transportation, general industrial, protective coatings, wood and auto refinishing. The Company markets its products as a component supplier to original equipment manufacturers, distributors and directly to end-users.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The Company has reclassified certain prior periods' amounts to conform with the current period presentation on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to reclassify contract assets from accounts receivable, net to a separately disclosed line item and on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity to combine the presentation of deferred compensation equity into additional paid-in capital.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“United States” or “U.S.”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Matters

The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries outside the United States is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated to the U.S. Dollar at the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions and from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities and associated income statement activity of foreign subsidiaries where the functional currency is the U.S. Dollar and the records are maintained in the local currency are included in other non-operating expense, net.

Discontinued Operations

The results of operations for the Company's Carlisle FoodService Products ("CFS") segment have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Refer to Note 4 for additional information.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the Company’s products or services. Revenue is measured as the amount of total consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Total expected consideration, in certain cases, is estimated at each reporting period, including interim periods, and is subject to change with variability dependent on future events, such as customer behavior related to future purchase volumes, returns, early payment discounts and other customer allowances. Estimates for rights of return, discounts and rebates to customers and other adjustments for variable consideration are provided for at the time of sale as a deduction to revenue, based on an analysis of historical experience and actual sales data. Changes in these estimates are reflected as an adjustment to revenue in the period identified. Sales, value added and other taxes collected concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

Table of Contents

The Company receives payment at the inception of the contract for separately priced extended service warranties, and revenue is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contracts. The term of these warranties ranges from five to 40 years. The weighted average life of the contracts as of December 31, 2020, is approximately 20 years.

The Company recognizes revenue over-time for certain contracts that provide for the manufacture of highly customized products with no alternative use and provide the Company the right to payment for work performed to date, including a normal margin for that effort.

Refer to Note 6 for further information on revenue recognition.

Costs to Obtain a Contract

Costs of obtaining or fulfilling a contract are recognized as expense as incurred, as the amortization period of these costs would be one year or less. These costs generally include sales commissions and are included in selling, general and administrative costs.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Costs incurred to physically transfer product to customer locations are recorded as a component of cost of goods sold. Charges passed on to customers are recorded into revenues.

Other Non-operating Expense, net

Other non-operating expense, net primarily includes foreign currency exchange (gains) losses, indemnification (gains) losses associated with acquired businesses, (income) loss from equity method investments and (gains) losses on sales of a business.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the fair-value method. Accordingly, equity-classified stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period. The requisite service period generally matches the stated vesting period of the award but may be shorter if the employee is retirement-eligible and, under the award’s terms, may fully vest upon retirement from the Company. The Company recognizes compensation cost for awards that have graded vesting features under the graded vesting method, which considers each separately vesting tranche as though they were, in substance, multiple awards.

Additionally, the Company accounts for liability-classified stock-based compensation cost under the fair value method, with the fair value of the award remeasured as of the date of the financial position. The Company recognizes compensation cost over the requisite service period based on the remeasured fair value of the award. The requisite service period generally matches the stated vesting period of the award but may be shorter if the employee is retirement-eligible and, under the award’s terms, may fully vest upon retirement from the Company.

The Company also accounts for forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur. Refer to Note 7 for additional information regarding stock-based compensation.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, which includes an estimate of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

Cash Equivalents

Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired are considered cash equivalents.

Table of Contents

Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses

Receivables are stated at amortized cost net of allowance for credit losses. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its customers’ current creditworthiness, as determined by the review of their credit information to determine if events have occurred subsequent to the recognition of revenue and the related receivable that provides evidence that such receivable will be realized in an amount less than that recognized at the time of sale. Estimates of credit losses are based on historical losses, current economic conditions, geographic considerations, and in some cases, evaluating specific customer accounts for risk of loss.

Changes in the Company's allowance for credit losses by segment follows:


(in millions)	CCM		CIT		CFT		CBF		Corporate		Total
Balance as of December 31, 2018	$	2.4	$	1.0	$	0.5	$	1.2	$	—	$	5.1

Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value with cost determined primarily on an average cost basis. Cost of inventories includes direct as well as certain indirect costs associated with the acquisition and production process. These costs include raw materials, direct and indirect labor and manufacturing overhead. Manufacturing overhead includes materials, depreciation and amortization related to property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets used directly and indirectly in the acquisition and production of inventory, and costs related to the Company’s distribution network such as inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, internal transfer costs and other such costs associated with preparing the Company’s products for sale. Refer to Note 10 for further information regarding inventories.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost including interest costs associated with qualifying capital additions. Costs allocated to property, plant and equipment of acquired companies are based on estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. Depreciation is principally computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Asset lives are generally 20 to 40 years for buildings, five to 15 years for machinery and equipment and two to 20 years for leasehold improvements. Leasehold improvements are amortized based on the shorter of the underlying lease term or the asset’s estimated useful life. Refer to Note 11 for further information regarding property, plant and equipment.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets or asset groups, including amortizable intangible assets, are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The Company groups its long-lived assets classified as held and used at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets and liabilities for purposes of testing for impairment. The Company’s asset groupings vary based on the related business in which the long-lived assets are employed and the interrelationship between those long-lived assets in producing net cash flows; for example, multiple manufacturing facilities may work in concert with one another or may work on a stand-alone basis to produce net cash flows. The Company utilizes its long-lived assets in multiple industries and economic environments and its asset groupings reflect these various factors.

The Company monitors the operating and cash flow results of its long-lived assets or asset groups classified as held and used to identify whether events and circumstances indicate the remaining useful lives of those assets should be adjusted or if the carrying value of those assets or asset groups may not be recoverable. Undiscounted estimated future cash flows are compared with the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group in the event indicators of impairment are identified. If the undiscounted estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount, the Company determines the fair value of the asset or asset group and records an impairment charge in current

Table of Contents

earnings to the extent carrying value exceeds fair value. Fair values may be determined based on estimated discounted cash flows by prices for like or similar assets in similar markets or a combination of both.

Long-lived assets or asset groups that are part of a disposal group that meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale are not assessed for impairment, but rather a loss is recorded against the disposal group if fair value, less cost to sell, of the disposal group is less than its carrying value.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recognized and recorded at their acquisition date fair values. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Definite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of acquired customer relationships, patents and technology, certain trade names and non-compete agreements. The Company determines the useful life of its definite-lived intangible assets based on multiple factors including the size and make-up of the acquired customer base, the expected dissipation of those customers over time, the Company’s own experience in the particular industry, the impact of known trends such as technological obsolescence, product demand or other factors and the period over which expected cash flows are used to measure the fair value of the intangible asset at acquisition. The Company periodically re-assesses the useful lives of its definite-lived intangible assets when events or circumstances indicate that useful lives have significantly changed from the previous estimate.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested annually, or more often if impairment indicators are present, for impairment via a one-step process by comparing the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the intangible asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded in current earnings for the excess. The Company estimates the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets based on the income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method. The Company’s annual testing date for indefinite-lived intangible assets is October 1st. The Company periodically re-assesses indefinite-lived intangible assets as to whether their useful lives can be determined and, if so, begins amortizing any applicable intangible asset.

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually, or more often if impairment indicators are present, for impairment at a reporting unit level. The Company’s annual testing date for goodwill is October 1st. The Company has four reporting units, that align with its reportable segments.

Refer to Note 12 for additional information regarding goodwill and other intangible assets.

Extended Product Warranty Reserves

The Company offers extended warranty contracts on sales of certain products; the most significant being those offered on its installed roofing systems within the CCM segment. Current costs of services performed under these contracts are expensed as incurred and included in cost of goods sold. The Company would record a reserve within accrued expenses if the total expected costs of providing services at a product line level exceed unamortized deferred revenues. Total expected costs of providing extended product warranty services are actuarially determined using standard quantitative measures based on historical claims experience and management judgment. Refer to Notes 6 and 13 for additional information regarding deferred revenue and extended product warranties.

Pension

The Company maintains defined benefit pension plans primarily for certain domestic employees. The annual net periodic benefit cost and projected benefit obligations related to these plans are determined on an actuarial basis annually on December 31, unless a remeasurement event occurs in an interim period. This determination requires assumptions to be made concerning general economic conditions (particularly interest rates), expected return on plan assets, increases to compensation levels and mortality rate trends. Changes in the assumptions to reflect actual experience can result in a change in the net periodic benefit cost and projected benefit obligations.

The defined benefit pension plans’ assets are measured at fair value annually on December 31, unless a remeasurement event occurs in an interim period. The Company uses the market related valuation method to determine the value of plan assets for purposes of determining the expected return on plan assets component of net periodic benefit cost. The market related valuation method recognizes the change of the fair value of the plan assets over five years. If actual experience differs from these long-term assumptions, the difference is recorded as an actuarial gain (loss) and amortized into earnings over a period of time based on the average future service period,

Table of Contents

which may cause the expense related to providing these benefits to increase or decrease. Refer to Note 15 for additional information regarding these plans and the associated plan assets.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception by evaluating if the asset is explicitly or implicitly identified or distinct, if the Company will receive substantially all of the economic benefit or if the lessor has an economic benefit and the ability to substitute the asset. Operating leases are included in other long-term assets, accrued and other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities.

Right-of-use assets ("ROU assets") represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of fixed and known lease payments over the lease term. Variable payments are not included in the ROU asset or lease liability and can vary from period to period based on the use of an asset during the period or the Company's proportionate share of common costs. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, and lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has lease agreements with lease components and non-lease components. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to account for these components as a single lease component, for all classes of underlying assets. Refer to Note 17 for additional information regarding leases.

Contingencies and Insurance Recoveries

The Company is exposed to losses related to various potential claims related to its employee obligations and other matters in the normal course of business, including commercial, employee, environmental or other regulatory litigation. The Company records a liability related to such potential claims, both those reported to the Company and incurred but not yet reported, when probable and reasonably estimable. The Company's policy is to expense legal defense costs related to such matters as incurred.

The Company maintains occurrence-based insurance contracts related to certain contingent losses primarily workers’ compensation, medical and dental, general liability, property and product liability claims up to applicable retention limits as part of its risk management strategy. The Company records a recovery under these insurance contracts when such recovery is deemed probable. Insurance proceeds in excess of realized losses are gain contingencies and not recorded until realized. Refer to Note 17 for additional information regarding contingencies and insurance recoveries.

Derivative Instruments and Hedge Accounting

From time to time, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments to hedge various risks to cash flows or the fair value of recognized assets and liabilities, including those arising from fluctuations in foreign currencies, interest rates and commodities. The Company recognizes these instruments at the time they are entered into and measures them at fair value. For instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges under U.S. GAAP, the changes in fair value period-to-period, less any excluded components, are classified in accumulated other comprehensive income, until the underlying transaction being hedged impacts earnings. The excluded components are recorded in current period income. For those instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges under U.S. GAAP, the changes in fair value period-to-period of both the derivative instrument and underlying hedged item are recognized currently in earnings. For those instruments not designated or do not qualify as hedges under U.S. GAAP, the changes in fair value period-to-period are classified immediately in current period income, within other non-operating expense, net. Refer to Note 18 for a description of the Company's current derivative instrument and hedging activities.

New Accounting Standards Adopted

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326) ("ASU 2016-13") which adds to accounting

Table of Contents

principles generally accepted in the U.S. an impairment model (known as the current expected credit losses model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under ASU 2016-13, an entity recognizes, as an allowance, its estimate of lifetime expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 and all related amendments effective January 1, 2020, using the modified retrospective method, which allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Periods prior to the adoption date that are presented for comparative purposes are not adjusted. The adoption of this standard did not require an implementation adjustment and did not materially impact the Company's consolidated net income or cash flows.

Note 5—Earnings Per Share

The Company’s restricted shares contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are considered participating securities for purposes of computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The computation below of earnings per share excludes income attributable to the unvested restricted shares from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of those underlying shares from the denominator.

The computation below of earnings per share includes the income attributable to the vested and deferred restricted shares and restricted stock units in the numerator and includes the dilutive impact of those underlying shares in the denominator.

Stock options are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share utilizing the treasury stock method and performance share awards are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share considering those are contingently issuable. Neither is considered to be a participating security as they do not contain non-forfeitable dividend rights.

Note 6—Revenue Recognition

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer in exchange for payment and is the unit of account. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation to transfer individual goods or services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the contract's transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation using the Company’s best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is observable prices.

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, and control is transferred, either at a point in time or over time as work progresses. For the majority of the Company’s products, control is transferred, and revenue is recognized when the product is shipped from the manufacturing facility or delivered to the customer, depending on shipping terms. Revenue is recognized over time primarily for separately priced extended service warranties in the CCM segment and certain highly customized product contracts in the CIT and CFT segments. Revenues for separately priced extended service warranties are recognized over the life of the contract. Revenues for highly customized product contracts are recognized based on the proportion of costs incurred to date, relative to total

Table of Contents

estimated costs to complete the contract and are generally incurred over twelve months or less. Highly customized product contract costs generally include labor, material and overhead. A summary of the timing of revenue recognition and reconciliation of disaggregated revenue by reportable segment follows:

Contract Balances

Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of performance under a contract, primarily related to extended service warranties in the CCM segment, systems contracts in the CFT segment and highly customized product contracts in the CIT segment. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as (or when) the Company performs under the contract. A summary of the change in contract liabilities follows:


(in millions)	2020		2019		2018
Balance as of January 1	$	247.4	$	227.4	$	215.8

Note 7—Stock-Based Compensation

Incentive Compensation Program

The Company maintains an Incentive Compensation Program (the “Program”) for executives, certain other employees of the Company and its operating segments and subsidiaries and the Company’s non-employee directors. Members of the Board of Directors (the "Board") that receive stock-based compensation are treated as employees for accounting purposes. The Program was approved by shareholders on May 6, 2015. The Program allows for up to 4.2 million awards to eligible employees of stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and units or other awards based on Company common stock. As of December 31, 2020, 1.2 million shares were available for grant under this plan.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company awarded 395 thousand stock options, 69 thousand restricted stock awards, 46 thousand performance share awards and 8 thousand restricted stock units as part of the Program with an aggregate grant-date fair value of approximately $33.5 million to be recognized over the requisite service period for each award.

Stock-based compensation cost by award type follows:


(in millions)	2020		2019		2018
Stock option awards	$	11.2	$	10.8	$	11.0
Restricted stock awards	8.9		7.4		7.7
Performance share awards	7.9		6.0		7.4
Restricted stock units	1.4		1.3		1.4

Total stock-based compensation expense	$	29.9	$	31.4	$	27.0
Income tax benefit	$	9.6	$	12.9	$	10.6

In 2018, the Board authorized a grant of stock options to U.S. employees and stock appreciation rights to employees outside of the U.S. This grant contributed $5.1 million and $11.5 million to stock-based compensation costs for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Compensation cost of $6.1 million and $3.2 million was capitalized as inventory as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Inventory is recognized in costs of goods sold when that related inventory is sold.

Stock Option Awards

Stock options awarded under the Program generally vest on a straight-line basis over a three-year period on the anniversary date of the grant. All stock options have a maximum contractual term of 10 years. Shares issued to cover stock options issued under the Program may be issued from shares held in treasury, from new issuances of shares or a combination of the two. Unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options of $6.6 million as of December 31, 2020, is to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years.

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model to determine the fair value of its stock options. The BSM relies on certain assumptions to estimate an option’s fair value. The weighted average assumptions used in the determination of fair value for stock options follows:


(in millions, except per share amounts)	2020			2019			2018			2018 One-time Grant
Expected dividend yield	1.3		%	1.6		%	1.4		%	1.4		%
Expected term (in years)	4.8			4.9			5.5			3.9
Expected volatility	21.9		%	21.3		%	23.1		%	20.7		%
Risk-free interest rate	1.4		%	2.5		%	2.6		%	2.6		%
Weighted-average grant date fair value (per share)	$	29.29		$	21.07		$	23.71		$	21.91
Fair value of options granted	$	11.6		$	9.7		$	9.1		$	13.6

The expected term of a stock option is based on the assumption that all outstanding stock options will be exercised at the midpoint of the valuation date (if vested) or the vesting dates (if unvested) and the stock options’ expiration date. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility, as well as implied volatility of the Company’s call options. The risk-free interest rate is based on rates of U.S. Treasury issues with a remaining life equal to the expected term of the stock option. The expected dividend yield is based on the latest quarterly dividend payment per share, annualized, divided by the average three-month stock price as of the date of grant.

Performance Share Awards

Performance shares vest based on the employee rendering three years of service to the Company and the attainment of a market condition over the performance period, which is based on the Company’s relative total shareholder return versus the S&P Midcap 400 Index® over a pre-determined time period as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Unrecognized compensation cost related to performance share awards of $7.7 million as of December 31, 2020, is to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

For purposes of determining diluted earnings per share, the performance share awards are considered contingently issuable shares and are included in diluted earnings per share based upon the number of shares that would have been awarded had the conditions at the end of the reporting period continued until the end of the performance period. See Note 5 for further information regarding earnings per share computations.

The Company utilizes the Monte-Carlo simulation approach based on a three-year measurement period to determine the fair value of performance shares. Such approach entails the use of assumptions regarding the future performance of the Company’s stock and those of the S&P Midcap 400 Index®. Those assumptions include expected volatility, risk-free interest rates, correlation coefficients and dividend reinvestment. Dividends accrue on the performance shares during the performance period and are to be paid in cash based upon the number of awards ultimately earned.

Restricted Stock Units

Up to and including February 4, 2020, restricted stock units were awarded to eligible directors which are fully vested and expensed upon grant date. The restricted stock units are paid in shares of Company common stock after the director ceases to serve as a member of the Board, or if earlier, upon a change in control of the Company. Effective May 6, 2020, eligible directors will no longer be issued restricted stock units, but instead will be awarded restricted stock awards that will vest on the earlier of (i) one year from the date of grant; (ii) the director’s retirement from the Board upon reaching age 72 or after completing 18 consecutive years of service on the Board; or (iii) a change in control of the Company.

Stock Appreciation Rights

Stock appreciation rights issued under the 2018 one-time grant discussed above, cliff vest on May 2, 2021, at which date they will immediately vest and be settled in cash. Unrecognized compensation cost related to stock appreciation rights of $2.0 million as of December 31, 2020, is to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.3 years.

The stock appreciation rights are classified as liability awards and are measured at fair value at each balance sheet date. The Company utilizes the BSM option pricing model to determine the fair value of its stock appreciation rights. The BSM relies on certain assumptions to estimate a stock appreciation right's fair value. The weighted average assumptions used in the December 31, 2020 determination of fair value for stock appreciation rights follows:


(in millions, except per share amounts)	2018 One-time Grant
Expected dividend yield	1.5		%
Expected term (in years)	0.3
Expected volatility	30.1		%
Risk-free interest rate	0.1		%
Weighted-average grant date fair value (per share)	$	48.24
Fair value of stock appreciation rights granted	$	13.5

The expected life of stock appreciation rights is based on the time from the valuation date to the vest date. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility as well as implied volatility of the Company’s call options. The risk-free interest rate is based on rates of U.S. Treasury issues with a remaining life equal to the expected life of the stock appreciation right. The expected dividend yield is based on the latest quarterly dividend payment per share, annualized, divided by the average three-month stock price as of the date of grant.

Deferred Compensation - Equity

Certain employees are eligible to participate in the Company’s Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”). Participants may elect to defer all or part of their restricted and performance shares. Participants have elected to defer 84 thousand and 86 thousand shares of Company common stock as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Company stock held for future issuance of vested awards is classified as additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is recorded at grant date fair value. Such deferred shares are included in basic earnings per share.

Note 8—Exit and Disposal Activities

The Company has undertaken operational restructuring and other cost reduction actions to streamline processes and manage costs throughout various departments. These actions resulted in exit, disposal and employee termination benefit costs, primarily resulting from planned reductions in workforce, facility consolidation and relocation, and lease termination costs. The primary actions are discussed below by operating segment.

CIT

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company initiated plans to exit its manufacturing operations in Kent, Washington, as a result of market declines from the coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19"). Select operations will be relocated to existing facilities primarily in North America. The project is estimated to take 12 to 18 months to complete. During the year ended December 31, 2020, exit and disposal costs totaled $6.6 million primarily for employee termination benefit costs and facility cleanup costs. Total exit and disposal costs are expected to approximate $13.2 million, with approximately $6.6 million costs remaining to be incurred, primarily in 2021.

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company initiated plans to exit its manufacturing operations in Mobile, Alabama, and relocate the majority of those operations to its existing manufacturing facility in Franklin, Wisconsin. This project is substantially complete with cumulative exit and disposal costs of $1.6 million, primarily for employee termination benefit costs and the impairment of certain assets, recognized through December 31, 2020.

The Company has completed its project to relocate its aerospace connectors manufacturing operations in El Segundo, California, and Riverside, California, to existing lower cost operations in North America. During the year ended December 31, 2020, exit and disposal costs totaled $2.3 million, primarily for facility clean up, travel and employee termination benefit costs. Cumulative exit and disposal costs of $10.9 million were recognized through December 31, 2020.

CBF

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company initiated plans to consolidate certain operations globally to reduce costs and streamline processes by consolidating certain positions within selling, general and administrative, and manufacturing functions, and exited less profitable product lines that resulted in asset write-offs. This project is substantially complete with cumulative exit and disposal costs of $5.5 million, primarily for employee termination benefit costs and the impairment of certain assets, recognized through December 31, 2020.

Other Actions

The Company implemented restructuring activities to reduce its overall headcount as a result of general market declines from COVID-19. CIT, CFT and CCM incurred $3.7 million, $3.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in severance expense during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Valuation Allowances

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had no deferred tax assets related to net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards for U.S. federal tax purposes but had a deferred tax asset for state NOL carryforwards and credits of approximately $3.1 million (expiring 2022 through 2040). The Company believes that it is likely that certain of the state attributes will expire unused and therefore has established a valuation allowance of approximately $0.4 million against the deferred tax assets associated with these attributes. The Company also has deferred tax assets related to NOL carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions of approximately $5.3 million, which begin to expire in 2022. The Company believes that it is likely that certain foreign NOL carryforwards will expire unused and therefore has established a valuation allowance of approximately $3.5 million. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had foreign tax credit carryforwards of $3.2 million, which begin to expire in 2028. The Company believes it is likely the credits will expire unused and therefore has established a full valuation allowance.

Undistributed Foreign Earnings

The Company has determined that an amount approximately equal to foreign cash balances and other certain assets is not permanently reinvested for withholding tax purposes, which results in an accrual of $4.6 million. It is not practicable to calculate deferred tax balances on other basis differences.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

Unrecognized tax benefits reflect the difference between the tax benefits of positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns and the tax benefits that meet the criteria for current recognition in the financial statements. The Company periodically assesses its unrecognized tax benefits.

A summary of the movement in gross unrecognized tax benefits (before estimated interest and penalties) follows:


(in millions)	2020		2019		2018
Balance as of January 1	$	35.9	$	27.3	$	37.4
Additions based on tax positions related to current year	0.4		0.3		3.3
Reductions due to statute of limitations	(10.8)		(5.0)		(12.0)
Adjustments related to acquired uncertain tax positions	(0.8)		11.6		—
Adjustments for tax positions of prior years	—		2.0		—
Reductions due to settlements	—		(0.1)		(1.2)
Adjustments due to foreign exchange rates	(0.2)		(0.2)		(0.2)
Balance as of December 31	$	24.5	$	35.9	$	27.3

If the unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2020, were to be recognized, approximately $28.6 million would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The amount impacting the Company’s effective rate is calculated by adding accrued interest and penalties to the gross unrecognized tax benefit excluding positions related to discontinued operations and subtracting the tax benefit associated with state taxes and interest.

The Company classifies and reports interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the income tax provision on the Consolidated Statements of Income and as a long-term liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total amount of such interest and penalties accrued, but excluded from the table above, at the years ending 2020, 2019 and 2018 were $8.2 million, $9.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is working with the IRS to complete its compliance assurance process for the 2019 tax year.

Generally, state income tax returns are subject to examination for a period of three years to five years after filing. Substantially all material state tax matters have been concluded for tax years through 2013. Various state income

Table of Contents

tax returns for subsequent years are in the process of examination. At this stage the outcome is uncertain; however, the Company believes that contingencies have been adequately provided for. Statutes of limitation vary among the foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Substantially all foreign tax matters have been concluded for tax years through 2009. The Company believes that foreign tax contingencies associated with income tax examinations underway or open tax years have been provided for adequately.

Based on the outcome of certain examinations or as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations for certain jurisdictions, the Company believes that within the next 12 months it is reasonably possible that previously unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $9.0 million to $10.0 million. These previously unrecognized tax benefits relate to a variety of tax issues including tax matters relating to prior acquisitions and various state matters.

Revolving Credit Facility (the “Facility”)

On February 5, 2020, the Company entered into the Company's Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) administered by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Among other things, the Amendment extended the maturity date of the Facility from February 21, 2022, to February 5, 2025. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company incurred $1.3 million of financing costs to finalize the amendment, which are recognized ratably over the extended maturity date of the Facility. The Facility has a feature that allows the Company to increase availability, at its option, by an aggregate amount of up to $500.0 million through increased commitments from existing lenders or the addition of new lenders. Under the Facility the Company may also enter into commitments in the form of standby, commercial, or direct pay letters of credit for an amount not to exceed $50.0 million. The Facility provides

Note 15—Employee Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit Plans

The Company maintains defined benefit retirement plans, primarily for certain domestic employees, as presented below. All plans are frozen to new entrants, with the exception of the executive supplemental plan. Benefits are based primarily on years of service and earnings of the employee.

The significant assumptions used in the measurement of the projected benefit obligation and net periodic benefit cost primarily include the discount rate, rate of compensation increase and expected long-term return on plan assets. Weighted-average assumptions for the projected benefit obligation follows:


	December 31, 2020		December 31, 2019
Discount rate	2.1	%	3.0	%
Rate of compensation increase	3.8	%	3.8	%

Weighted-average assumptions for net periodic benefit cost follows:


	2020		2019		2018
Discount rate	3.0	%	4.1	%	3.5	%
Rate of compensation increase	3.8	%	3.8	%	3.8	%
Expected long-term return on plan assets	6.6	%	6.3	%	6.3	%

The weighted-average cash balance interest crediting rate for the Company's cash balance defined benefit plans was 4.0% for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

The Company considers several factors in determining the long-term rate of return for plan assets. Asset-class return expectations are set using a combination of empirical and forward-looking analyses. Capital market

Table of Contents

assumptions for the composition of the Company’s asset portfolio are intended to capture the behavior of asset classes observed over several market cycles. The Company also looks to historical returns for reasonableness and appropriateness.

A reconciliation of the change in the projected benefit obligation, plan assets and the funded status follows:

Table of Contents

The Company employs a liability driven investment approach whereby plan assets are invested primarily in fixed income investments to match the changes in the projected benefit obligation of funded plans related to changes in interest rates. Risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of projected benefit obligations, plan funded status and the Company’s other obligations and strategic investments.

The established target allocation is 88.0% fixed income securities and 12.0% equity securities. Fixed income investments are diversified across U.S. treasury, long and intermediate duration and high yield bonds. Equity investments are diversified across large capitalization U.S. and international stocks. Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through investment portfolio reviews, annual projected benefit liability measurements and asset/liability studies.

The fair value measurement of the plans’ assets by asset category follows:

The Company made contributions of $1.5 million and $1.6 million during 2020 and 2019, respectively, which pertain to the Company’s executive supplemental and director defined benefit pension plans. This contribution covers current participant benefits as these plans have no plan assets. No minimum contributions to the pension plans were required in 2020 and 2019. During 2021, the Company expects to pay approximately $1.5 million in participant benefits under the executive supplemental and director plans. In light of the plans’ funded status, the Company does not expect to make discretionary contributions to its pension plans in 2021.

A summary of estimated future benefits to be paid for the Company’s defined benefit pension plans as of December 31, 2020, follows:

Defined Contribution Plans

401K Plan

The Company maintains defined contribution savings plans covering a significant portion of its eligible employees. Participant contributions are matched by the Company up to a 4.0% maximum of eligible compensation, subject to compensation and contribution limits as defined by the Internal Revenue Service. Employer contributions for the savings plan were $16.9 million, $16.6 million and $15.2 million in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Matching contributions are invested in funds as directed by participants. Eligible participants may also elect to invest up to 50.0% of the Company’s matching contribution in Company common stock. Common shares held by the contribution savings plan follows:

Deferred Compensation - Cash

The Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan allows certain eligible participants to defer a portion of their cash compensation and provides a matching contribution to the deferred compensation plan of up to 4.0% of eligible compensation. Eligible participants may elect to receive in-service distributions of deferred compensation or may

Table of Contents

defer receipt of distributions until retirement via lump sum or annual payment installments over a maximum period of 10 years. Participants allocate their deferred compensation amongst various investment options with earnings accruing to the participant.

The Company has established a Rabbi Trust to provide for a degree of financial security to cover its obligations with its deferred compensation plan. Contributions to the Rabbi Trust by the Company are made at the discretion of management and generally are made in cash and invested in money-market funds. The Company consolidates the Rabbi Trust and therefore includes the investments in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company had $6.6 million and $6.1 million of cash, respectively, and $7.7 million and $5.5 million of short-term investments, respectively. The short-term investments are measured at fair value using quoted market prices in active markets (i.e. Level 1 measurements) with changes in fair value recorded in net income and the associated cash flows presented as operating cash flows.

Workers’ Compensation Claims and Related Losses

The Company maintains occurrence-based insurance coverage with certain insurance carriers in accordance with its risk management practices that provides for reimbursement of workers’ compensation claims in excess of $0.5 million. The Company records a recovery receivable from the insurance carriers when such recovery is deemed probable based on the nature of the claim and history of recoveries. The liability related to workers’ compensation claims, both those reported to the Company and those incurred but not yet reported, is estimated based on actuarial estimates, loss development factors and the Company’s historical loss experience.

Litigation

Over the years, the Company has been named as a defendant, along with numerous other defendants, in lawsuits in various courts in which plaintiffs have alleged injury due to exposure to asbestos-containing friction products produced and sold predominantly by the Company’s discontinued Motion Control business between the late-1940s and the mid-1980s. The Company has been subject to liabilities for indemnity and defense costs associated with these lawsuits.

The Company has recorded a liability for estimated indemnity costs associated with pending and future asbestos claims. As of December 31, 2020, the Company believes that its accrual for these costs is not material to the Company's financial position, results of operations, or operating cash flows.

The Company recognizes expenses for defense costs associated with asbestos claims during the periods in which they are incurred. Refer to Note 1 for the Company’s accounting policy related to litigation defense costs.

The Company currently maintains insurance coverage with respect to asbestos-related claims and associated defense costs. The Company records the insurance coverage as a long-term receivable in an amount it reasonably

Table of Contents

estimates is probable of recovery for pending and future asbestos-related indemnity claims. Since the Company’s insurance policies contain various coverage exclusions, limits of coverage and self-insured retentions and may be subject to insurance coverage disputes, the Company may recognize expenses for indemnity and defense costs in particular periods if and when it becomes probable that such costs will not be covered by insurance.

The Company is also involved in various other legal actions and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcomes of such actions and proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or operating cash flows.

Note 18—Financial Instruments

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of its foreign currency exchange rate exposure to forecasted foreign currency denominated cash flows. These instruments are not held for speculative or trading purposes.

A summary of the Company's designated and non-designated cash flow hedges follows:


	December 31, 2020				December 31, 2019
(in millions)	Fair Value (1)		Notional Value		Fair Value (1)		Notional Value
Designated hedges	$	5.0	$	93.5	$	2.0	$	108.1
Non-designated hedges	$	0.2	$	65.4	$	0.6	$	124.4

(1)The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is included in other current assets. The fair value was estimated using observable market inputs such as forward and spot prices of the underlying exchange rate pair. Based on these inputs, derivative assets and liabilities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

For instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts with maturities less than one year. The changes in the fair value of the contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized in the same line item as the impact of the hedged item, revenues or cost of sales, when the underlying forecasted transaction impacts earnings. Gains and losses on the contracts representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness are recognized in the same line item as the hedged item, revenues or cost of sales, currently.

For instruments that are not designed as a cash flow hedge, the Company had foreign exchange contracts with maturities less than one year. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from these contracts were immaterial and are recognized in other non-operating expense, net and partially offset corresponding foreign exchange gains and losses on these balances.

Other Financial Instruments

Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable, accrued expenses and long-term debt. The carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of its short-term nature and generally negligible credit losses (refer to Note 14 for the fair value of long-term debt).

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation and as of December 31, 2020, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Management has prepared a report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in which management has determined that the Company’s controls are effective. A copy of management’s report is set forth below.

(b) Changes in internal controls. During the fourth quarter of 2020, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020.

As discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, the Company completed the acquisition of Motion Tech Automation, LLC ("MTA") on July 22, 2020. Management's assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of MTA, which represented less than 1% of total assets as of December 31, 2020, and revenues for the year then ended.

The internal controls over financial reporting have been assessed by Deloitte & Touche LLP, whose report with respect to the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting is included herein at Item 8.

Item 9B. Other Information.
