1Adjusted and Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures: Adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings

excluding renewable power systems, adjusted industrial segment earnings excluding
renewable power systems, industrial segment earnings excluding renewable power systems
and adjusted industrial segment earnings includes or excludes as as applicable, (i) the gain on

impairment of assets held for sale, and the losses, associated with the Company's divestiture
of its renewable power systems and related businesses, (iii) Duarte move related costs, (iv)
the purchase accounting impacts related to the amortization of the backlog intangible
acquired in connection with the acquisition of Woodward L'Orange on June 1, 2018 (the
"L'Orange Acquisition"), (v) the transition impacts of the change in U.S. federal tax legislation
in December 2017, (vi) costs associated with the previously proposed merger with Hexcel

associated with the completed divestiture of renewable power systems and related
businesses, (viii) restructuring charges, (ix) acceleration of stock compensation expense
related to restructuring activities, (x) the net gain on settlement of cross-currency interest
rate swaps, and (xi) costs related to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 impairment of

significant customer of Woodward renewables business, which declared insolvency in fiscal
year 2019.
EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes), EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization), free cash flow, adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per
share, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted free cash flow, industrial segment sales
excluding renewable power systems, adjusted industrial segment earnings excluding
renewable power systems, industrial segment earnings excluding renewable power systems
and adjusted industrial segment earnings, are financial measures not prepared and presented
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(U.S. GAAP). Management uses EBIT and adjusted EBIT to evaluate Woodward's operating
performance without the impacts of financing and tax related considerations. Management
uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in evaluating Woodward's operating performance, making
business decisions, including developing budgets, managing expenditures, forecasting future
periods, and evaluating capital structure impacts of various strategic scenarios. Management
also uses free cash flow, which is derived from net cash provided by or used in operating
activities less payments for property, plant, and equipment, as well as adjusted free cash flow
(as described above), in reviewing the financial performance of Woodward's various business
segments and evaluating cash generation levels. Securities analysts, investors, and others
frequently use EBIT, EBITDA and free cash flow in their evaluation of companies, particularly
those with significant property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets that are subject
to amortization. The use of any of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures is not intended to
be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and
presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because EBIT, EBITDA, adjusted EBIT, and adjusted
EBITDA exclude certain financial information compared with net earnings, the most
comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider
the information that is excluded. Free cash flow does not necessarily represent funds
available for discretionary use and is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash
needs. Management's calculations of EBIT, EBITDA, adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings
per share, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and adjusted free cash flow may
differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness as
comparative measures.
