NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 29, 2018

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying (a) Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of Regal Beloit Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 30, 2017, which has been derived from audited Consolidated Financial Statements, and (b) unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 29, 2018 and for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

It is suggested that these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 27, 2018.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial results have been made. Except as otherwise discussed, such adjustments consist of only those of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 29, 2018.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company uses estimates in accounting for, among other items, allowance for doubtful accounts; excess and obsolete inventory; share-based compensation; acquisitions; product warranty obligations; pension and post retirement assets and liabilities; derivative fair values; goodwill and other asset impairments; health care reserves; retirement benefits; rebates and incentives; litigation claims and contingencies, including environmental matters; and income taxes. The Company accounts for changes to estimates and assumptions when warranted by factually based experience.

The Company operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31.

New Accounting Standards

In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU addresses the income tax effects of items in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCI”) which were originally recognized in other comprehensive income, rather than in income from continuing operations. Specifically, it permits a reclassification from AOCI to Retained Earnings for the adjustment of deferred taxes due to the reduction of the historical corporate income tax rate to the newly enacted corporate income tax rate resulting from the US tax law changes enacted in December 2017. It also requires certain disclosures about these reclassifications. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance must be applied either on a prospective basis in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the US federal corporate income tax rate in the US tax law changes are recognized. The Company elected to early adopt this standard as of April 1, 2018. During the second quarter, the Company elected to reclassify the stranded effects from the US tax law changes from AOCI to Retained Earnings on a prospective basis. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2018-02, the Company reclassified $4.6 million from AOCI to Retained Earnings. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a breakout of the impact by component.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in this update better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt this pronouncement for its fiscal year beginning December 30, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of this standard on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification Accounting. The ASU amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. The ASU provides guidance on the types of changes to

the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718. Specifically, an entity would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Prospective application is required. The Company prospectively adopted ASU 2017-09 for its fiscal year beginning on December 31, 2017 and it did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The ASU requires companies to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization. Additionally, the ASU requires that companies present the other components of the net periodic benefit cost separately from the line item that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of Income from Operations. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in the ASU are to be applied retrospectively for presentation in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic post retirement benefit. A practical expedient allows the Company to use the amount disclosed for net periodic benefit costs for the prior comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements. The Company retrospectively adopted the ASU on December 31, 2017. As a result of adopting the ASU, non-service cost related net periodic benefit income of $0.1 million and $0.4 million and non-service cost related net periodic benefit costs of $0.4 million and $1.1 million were reclassified from Cost of Sales and Operating Expenses, respectively, to Other Expenses, net for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2017, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income to conform to the current year presentation using the practical expedient allowed under this ASU.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The core principle of ASU 2016-02 is that an entity should recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease on its balance sheet. In accordance with that principle, ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize a liability to make lease payments, the lease liability, and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset for the lease term. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on the lease classification as a finance or operating lease. In July 2018, the FASB amended its guidance by issuing ASU 2018-11 to provide an additional transition method, allowing a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings during the period of adoption. The amendment will also allow lessors the option to make a policy election to treat lease and non-lease components as a single lease component under certain conditions. The Company is currently evaluating its options related to this update. The new lease standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new lease standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company expects the new lease standard to increase its total assets and liabilities.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that supersedes current revenue recognition requirements. This update requires the Company to recognize revenue at amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services at the time of transfer. The new standard also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments made in applying the revenue guidance, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and its related updates, effective December 31, 2017 using the modified retrospective approach. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 30, 2017 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under ASC 605.

The majority of the Company’s sales are recognized when products are shipped from its manufacturing or distribution facilities to customers. For a limited number of contracts, the Company recognized revenue over time in proportion to costs incurred. Under the new standard, the Company continues to recognize revenue at a single point-in-time when control is transferred to the customer. In addition, for those contracts in which the Company recognizes revenue over time, the cost-to-cost measure of progress continues to best depict the transfer of control of assets to the customer, which occurs as the Company incurs costs.

The Company completed a comprehensive assessment of ASC 606 and its potential impacts on the Company and concluded that as a result of applying the modified retrospective method, the cumulative effect adjustment to Retained Earnings as of December 31, 2017, was immaterial. Consequently, the Company did not record an adjustment for such a cumulative effect to Retained Earnings. Further, the impact of adopting the new revenue standard does not have a material impact on the Company’s pattern of revenue recognition, results of operations, or financial position. The Company has also completed the process of updating accounting policies, evaluating new disclosure requirements, and identifying and implementing changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support revenue recognition and disclosure under the new guidance.

2. OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company recognized a fixed asset impairment of $1.1 million related to its decision to exit the Hermetic Climate business for the three and nine month period ended September 29, 2018.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of electric motors, electrical motion controls, power generation and power transmission products. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the product passes to the customer or the service is provided and is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for such goods or services.

Nature of Goods and Services

The Company derives revenue from the sale of electric motors, electrical motion controls, power generation and power transmission products. The Company sells products with multiple applications as well as customized products that have a single application such as those manufactured for its OEM’s customers. The Company reports in three operating segments: Commercial and Industrial Systems, Climate Solutions and Power Transmission Solutions.

Commercial and Industrial Systems - This segment primarily serves commercial HVAC, pool and spa, standby and critical power and oil and gas markets. Products in this segment include medium and large electric motors, commercial and industrial equipment, power generation products, high-performance drives and controls and capacitors.

Climate Solutions - This segment primarily serves the residential, light commercial HVAC, water heaters and commercial refrigeration markets. Products in this segment include small motors, controls and air moving solutions.

Power Transmission Solutions - This segment primarily serves the beverage, bulk handling, metals, special machinery, energy and aerospace markets. Products in this segment include belt and chain drives, helical and worm gearing, mounted and unmounted bearings, couplings, modular plastic belts, conveying chains and components, hydraulic pump drives, large open gearing and specialty mechanical products.

Nature of Performance Obligations

The Company’s contracts with customers typically consist of purchase orders, invoices and master supply agreements. At contract inception, across all three segments, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in its sales arrangements with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service that is distinct. The Company’s primary performance obligations consist of product sales and customized system/solutions.

Product:

The nature of products varies from segment to segment but across all segments, individual products are not integrated and represent separate performance obligations. Revenue from product sales is typically recognized at the time of product shipment.

Customized systems/solutions:

The Company provides customized system/solutions which consist of multiple products engineered and designed to specific customer specification, combined or integrated into one combined solution for a specific customer application. The performance obligation is typically satisfied as goods are transferred to the customer and revenue is recognized over-time.

When Performance Obligations are Satisfied

For performance obligations related to product sales, the Company determines that the customer obtains control upon shipment and recognizes revenue accordingly. Once a product has shipped, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset. The Company considers control to have transferred upon shipment because the Company has a present right to payment at that time, the customer has legal title to the asset, the Company has transferred physical possession of the asset, and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.

For a limited number of contracts, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue over time. The Company satisfies its performance obligations as goods are transferred to the customer and uses a cost-based input method to measure progress. In applying the cost-based method of revenue recognition, the Company uses actual costs incurred to date relative to the total estimated costs for the contract in conjunction with the customer's commitment to perform in determining the amount of revenue and cost to recognize. The Company has determined that the cost-based input method provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods to the customer.

Payment Terms

The arrangement with the customer states the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product or service purchased. Payment terms vary by customer but typically range from due upon delivery to 120 days after delivery. For contracts recognized at a point in time, revenue and billing typically occur simultaneously. The Company generally has payment terms with its customers of one year or less and has elected the practical expedient applicable to such contracts not to consider the time value of money. For contracts recognized using the cost-based input method, revenue recognized in excess of customer billings and billings in excess of revenue recognized are reviewed to determine the net asset or net liability position and classified as such on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Returns, Refunds, and Warranties

The Company’s contracts do not explicitly offer a “general” right of return to its customers (e.g. customers ordered excess products and return unused items). Warranties are classified as either assurance type or service type warranties. A warranty is considered an assurance type warranty if it provides the customer with assurance that the product will function as intended. A warranty that goes above and beyond ensuring basic functionality is considered a service type warranty. The Company generally only offers limited warranties which are considered to be assurance type warranties and are not accounted for as separate performance obligations under the revenue model. Customers generally receive repair or replacement on products that do not function to specification and are treated under warranty accrual. Estimated product warranties are provided for specific product groups and the Company accrues for estimated future warranty cost in the period in which the sale is recognized. The Company estimates the accrual requirements based on historical warranty loss experience and the cost is included in Cost of Sales.

Volume Rebates

In some cases, the nature of the Company’s contract may give rise to variable consideration including volume based sales incentives. If the customer achieves specific sales targets, they are entitled to rebates. The Company estimates the projected amount of the rebates that will be achieved and recognizes the estimated costs as a reduction to Net Sales as revenue is recognized.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following tables presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by geographical region for the three and nine month period ended September 29, 2018 (in millions):



Three Months Ended September 29, 2018	Commercial and Industrial Systems		Climate Solutions		Power Transmission Solutions		Total

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

The Company typically expenses incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, primarily sales commissions, as incurred because the amortization period is expected to be 12 months or less. Contract costs are included in Operating Expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Due to the short nature of the Company’s contracts, the Company has adopted a practical expedient to not disclose revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations as substantially all of its contracts have original terms of 12 months or less.

The Company typically does not include in its transaction price any amounts collected from customers for sales taxes.

The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling costs as fulfillment activities and expense the costs as incurred.

Exit of Business

On July 31, 2018, the Company received notification from a customer of its Hermetic Climate business that it would wind down operations. The Hermetic Climate business accounted for sales of $42.9 million and $49.7 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. As a result of this notification, the Company accelerated its plans to exit this business. The Company will be winding down its operations over the next few months and as a result, the Company recognized exit and exit related charges of $34.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 29, 2018. The charges included goodwill impairment of $9.5 million, customer relationship intangible asset impairment of $5.5 million, technology intangible asset impairment of $2.1 million and fixed asset impairment of $1.1 million. In addition to the impairments, the Company took charges on accounts receivable and inventory along with recognizing other expenses related to exiting the business.

Other

As part of the purchase agreement of the 2008 acquisition of the Wuxi Hwada Motor Co., the Company agreed that if certain relocation compensation was received for the relocation of the business, the Company would pay a portion of that compensation to the seller as part of a deferred contingent purchase price. During the first quarter of 2017, a final deferred contingent purchase price payment of $5.3 million was made under this agreement.

3. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. Acquisition and acquisition related expenses of $1.4 million were recorded in Operating Expenses for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2018. There were no acquisition and acquisition related expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

2018 Acquisitions

Nicotra Gebhardt

On April 10, 2018, the Company acquired Nicotra Gebhardt S.p.A ("NG") for $161.5 million in cash, net of $8.5 million of cash acquired. NG is a leader in critical, energy-efficient systems for ventilation and air quality. NG manufactures, sells and services fans and blowers under the industry leading brands of Nicotra and Gebhardt. The financial results of NG have been included in the Company's Commercial & Industrial Systems segment from the date of acquisition.

The Company has not yet finalized its analysis of the fair value of tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the allocation of any excess acquisition cost over the fair value of the net tangible assets acquired to any separately identifiable intangible assets. As a result, the initial accounting is incomplete. The Company booked provisional amounts at the acquisition date and has made adjustments to the provisional amounts to reflect changes in the initial value of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and the related deferred tax balances. The Company will make adjustments retrospectively during the allowed measurement period. The Company has completed its initial assessment of valuing property, plant and equipment using both a market approach and a cost approach depending on the asset. Intangible assets have been valued using the present value of projected future cash flows. Significant assumptions include royalty rates, discount rates and customer attrition. These assumptions continue to be reviewed and refined. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the provisional fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:



	As of April 10, 2018
Current Assets	$	17.2
Trade Receivables	28.0
Inventories	22.1
Property, Plant and Equipment	44.6
Intangible Assets	37.8
Goodwill	69.1
Other Noncurrent Assets	2.5
Total Assets Acquired	221.3
Accounts Payable	16.7
Current Liabilities Assumed	14.2
Long-Term Liabilities Assumed	20.4
Net Assets Acquired	$	170.0

Other Disclosures

The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income include the results of operations of NG since the date of acquisition, and such results are reflected in the Commercial and Industrial Systems segment. Results of operations since the date of acquisition and supplemental pro forma financial information have not been presented for the NG acquisition as such information is not material to the results of operations.

The Credit Agreement and Prior Credit Agreement

In connection with the Company's acquisition of the Power Transmission Solutions business of Emerson Electric Co. (the "PTS Acquisition") on January 30, 2015, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Prior Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and the lenders named therein, providing for a (i) 5-year unsecured term loan facility in the principal amount of $1.25 billion (the “Prior Term Facility”) and (ii) a 5-year unsecured multicurrency revolving facility in the principal amount of $500.0 million (the “Prior Multicurrency Revolving Facility”), including a $100.0 million letter of credit sub facility, available for general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at floating rates based upon indices determined by the currency of the borrowing, plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the Company's consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio or at an alternative base rate.

On August 27, 2018 the Company replaced the Prior Credit Agreement by entering into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and the lenders named therein, providing for a (i) 5-year unsecured term loan facility in the principal amount of $900.0 million (the “Term Facility”) and (ii) a 5-year unsecured multicurrency revolving facility in the principal amount of $500.0 million (the “Multicurrency Revolving Facility”), including a $50.0 million letter of credit sub facility, available for general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at floating rates based upon indices determined by the currency of the borrowing, plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the Company's consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio or at an alternative base rate.

The Term Facility was drawn in full on August 27, 2018 with the proceeds settling the amounts owed under the Prior Term Facility and Prior Multicurrency Revolving Facility. The loan under the Term Facility requires quarterly amortization at a rate starting at 5.0% per annum, increasing to 7.5% per annum after three years and further increasing to 10.0% per annum for the last years of the Term Facility, unless previously prepaid. The weighted average interest rate on the Term Facility was 3.5% for the three months ended September 29, 2018. The weighted average interest rate on the Prior Term Facility was 3.5% and 3.3% for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2018, respectively and 2.7% and 2.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The Credit Agreement requires that the Company prepay the loans under the Term Facility with 100% of the net cash proceeds received from specified asset sales and borrowed money indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions.

At September 29, 2018, the Company had borrowings under the Multicurrency Revolving Facility in the amount of $45.4 million, $0.7 million of standby letters of credit issued under the facility, and $453.9 million of available borrowing capacity. The average daily balance in borrowings under the Multicurrency Revolving Facility was $32.8 million and the weighted average interest rate on the Multicurrency Revolving Facility was 3.4% for the three months ended September 29, 2018. The average daily balance in borrowings under the Prior Multicurrency Revolving Facility was $304.7 million and $211.7 million, and the weighted average interest rate on the Prior Multicurrency Revolving Facility was 3.4% and 3.2% for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2018, respectively. The average daily balance in borrowings under the Prior Multicurrency Revolving Facility was $97.8 million and $105.4 million and the weighted average interest rate on the Prior Multicurrency Revolving Facility was 2.7% and 2.5% for

the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Company pays a non-use fee on the aggregate unused amount of the Multicurrency Revolving Facility at a rate determined by reference to its consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio.

Senior Notes

At September 29, 2018, the Company had $400.0 million of senior notes (the “Notes”) outstanding. The Notes consist of $400.0 million in senior notes (the “2011 Notes”) in a private placement which were issued in seven tranches with maturities from seven to twelve years and carry fixed interest rates. As of September 29, 2018, $400.0 million of the 2011 Notes are included in Long-Term Debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table presents details on the Notes at September 29, 2018 (in millions):



	Principal		Interest Rate	Maturity
Fixed Rate Series 2011A	$	230.0	4.8 to 5.0%	July 14, 2021
Fixed Rate Series 2011A	170.0		4.9 to 5.1%	July 14, 2023
	$	400.0

The Company has an interest rate swap agreement to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk (see also Note 13 of Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements).

Compliance with Financial Covenants

The Credit Agreement and the Notes require the Company to meet specified financial ratios and to satisfy certain financial condition tests. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the Notes and the Credit Agreement as of September 29, 2018.

Other Notes Payable

At September 29, 2018, other notes payable of approximately $5.0 million were outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 4.9%. At December 30, 2017, other notes payable of approximately $5.7 million were outstanding with a weighted average rate of 5.7%.

Based on rates for instruments with comparable maturities and credit quality, which are classified as Level 2 inputs (see also Note 14 of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), the approximate fair value of the Company's total debt was $1,292.7 million and $1,165.4 million as of September 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively.

8. RETIREMENT AND POST RETIREMENT HEALTH CARE PLANS

The following table presents the Company’s net periodic benefit cost components (in millions):



	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 29, 2018			September 30, 2017			September 29, 2018			September 30, 2017
Service Cost	$	1.8		$	1.8		$	5.5		$	5.4
Interest Cost	2.4			2.5			7.2			7.3
Expected Return on Plan Assets	(3.0		)	(2.8		)	(8.9		)	(8.4		)
Amortization of Prior Service Cost and Net Actuarial Loss	1.0			0.6			2.9			1.8
Net Periodic Benefit Cost	$	2.2		$	2.1		$	6.7		$	6.1

The service cost component is included in Cost of Sales and Operating Expenses. All other components of net period benefit costs are included in Other Expenses, net on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The estimated net actuarial loss and prior service cost for post retirement plans that will be amortized from AOCI into net periodic benefit cost during the 2018 fiscal year are $3.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

For the three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company contributed $3.3 million and $6.0 million, respectively, to post retirement plans. For the nine months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company contributed $10.2 million and $8.2 million, respectively, to post retirement plans. The Company expects to make total contributions of $11.4 million in 2018. The Company contributed a total of $8.6 million in fiscal 2017. The assumptions used in the valuation of the Company’s post retirement plans and in the target investment allocation have remained the same as those disclosed in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 27, 2018.

9. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Repurchase of Common Stock

The Company repurchased and retired 77,533 shares of its common stock in the quarter ended September 29, 2018, at an average cost of $79.93 per share for a total cost of $6.2 million. The Company repurchased and retired 1,007,538 shares of its common stock for the nine months ended September 29, 2018, at an average cost of $77.74 per share for a total cost of $78.3 million. There were 32,000 shares repurchased under the 3.0 million share repurchase program approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in November, 2013. At a meeting of the Board of Directors on July 24, 2018, this repurchase program was extinguished and replaced with an authorization to purchase up to $250.0 million of shares. At September 29, 2018, $3.6 million of shares were repurchased under the program approved on July 24, 2018.

Share-Based Compensation

The majority of the Company’s annual share-based incentive awards are granted in the second fiscal quarter.

The Company recognized approximately $3.3 million in share-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. Share-based compensation expense was $10.5 million and $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for share-based compensation expense was $0.8 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for share-based compensation expense was $2.5 million and $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. The Company recognizes compensation expense on grants of share-based compensation awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of each award. As of September 29, 2018, total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation awards was approximately $27.1 million, net of estimated forfeitures, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of approximately 2.2 years. On October 10, 2018, the Company entered into a retirement agreement with the CEO resulting in the modification of the CEO's unvested awards. The Company expects to recognize the modified award values over the modified service term. The modification will increase the amount of unrecognized compensation cost and reduce the weighted average period in which the Company expects to recognize the unrecognized compensation cost.

Approximately 2.6 million shares were available for future grant under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan at September 29, 2018.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The Company uses stock settled stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) as a form of share-based incentive awards. SARs are the right to receive stock in an amount equal to the appreciation in value of a share of stock over the base price per share that generally vest over 5 years and expire 10 years from the grant date. All grants are made at prices equal to the fair market value of the stock on the grant date. For the nine months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, expired and canceled shares were immaterial.

The following table presents share-based compensation activity for the nine months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017 (in millions):



	September 29, 2018		September 30, 2017
Total Intrinsic Value of Share-Based Incentive Awards Exercised	$	4.9	$	3.7
Cash Received from Stock Option Exercises	—		0.4
Income Tax Benefit from the Exercise of Stock Options	0.1		0.7
Total Fair Value of Share-Based Incentive Awards Vested	4.0		4.3

The following table presents assumptions used in the Company's Black-Scholes valuation related to grants of SARs:



	2018			2017
Per Share Weighted Average Fair Value of Grants	$	22.73		$	23.73
Risk-Free Interest Rate	2.9		%	2.0		%
Expected Life (Years)	7.0			7.0
Expected Volatility	27.8		%	27.9		%
Expected Dividend Yield	1.4		%	1.2		%

The average risk-free interest rate is based on the US Treasury security rate as of the grant date. The expected dividend yield is based on the projected annual dividend as a percentage of the estimated market value of the Company's common stock as of the grant date. The Company estimated the expected volatility using a weighted average of daily historical volatility of the Company's stock price over the expected term of the award. The Company estimated the expected term using historical data adjusted for the estimated exercise dates of unexercised awards.

The following table presents a summary of share-based incentive plan grant activity (SARs) for the nine months ended September 29, 2018.



Number of Shares Under SARs	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions)
Exercisable at December 30, 2017	1,601,791		$	66.46
Granted	193,357		77.60
Exercised	(241,574	)	58.00
Forfeited	(5,206	)	70.30
Expired	(1,250	)	54.28
Outstanding at September 29, 2018	1,547,118		$	69.17	5.8	$	20.5
Exercisable at September 29, 2018	936,737		$	66.42	4.1	$	15.0

Compensation expense recognized related to SARs was $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2018.

As of September 29, 2018, there was $10.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested SARs that is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted average period of 3.4 years.

The number of SARs expected to vest is materially consistent with those outstanding and not yet exercisable.

Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock awards ("RSA") and restricted stock units ("RSU") consist of shares or the rights to shares of the Company's stock. The awards are restricted such that they are subject to substantial risk of forfeiture and to restrictions on their sale or other transfer. As defined in the individual grant agreements, acceleration of vesting may occur under a change in control, death, disability or normal retirement of the grantee.

The following table presents a summary of RSA award activity for the nine months ended September 29, 2018:



	Shares		Weighted Average Fair Value at Grant Date		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)
Unvested RSAs at December 30, 2017	13,941		$	80.70	0.4
Granted	16,490		74.68
Vested	(13,941	)	80.70
Unvested RSAs at September 29, 2018	16,490		$	74.68	0.6

RSAs vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, provided the holder of the shares is continuously employed by or in the service of the Company until the vesting date. Compensation expense recognized related to the RSAs was $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2018.

As of September 29, 2018, there was $0.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSAs that is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted average period of 0.6 years.

The following table presents a summary of RSU award activity for the nine months ended September 29, 2018:



	Shares		Weighted Average Fair Value at Grant Date		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)
Unvested RSUs at December 30, 2017	260,533		$	70.81	1.7
Granted	78,140		74.51
Vested	(97,999	)	76.33
Forfeited	(4,928	)	69.91
Unvested RSUs at September 29, 2018	235,746		$	69.75	2.0

RSUs vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, provided the holder of the RSUs is continuously employed by the Company until the vesting date. Compensation expense recognized related to the RSUs was $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2018.

As of September 29, 2018, there was $9.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs that is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

Performance Share Units

Performance share units ("PSU") consist of shares or the rights to shares of the Company's stock which are awarded to employees of the Company. These shares are payable upon the determination that the Company achieved certain established performance targets and can range from 0% to 200% of the targeted payout based on the actual results. PSUs have a performance period of 3 years and vest 3 years from the grant date. The PSUs have performance criteria based on a return on invested capital metric or they have performance criteria using returns relative to the Company's peer group. As set forth in the individual award agreements, acceleration of vesting may occur under a change in control, death or disability. There are no voting rights associated with PSUs until vesting occurs and a share of stock is issued. Some of the PSU awards are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation method as of the grant date while others are valued using the closing market price as of the grant date depending on the performance criteria for the award.

The following table presents the assumptions used in the Company's Monte Carlo simulation:



	September 29, 2018		September 30, 2017
Risk-Free Interest Rate	2.7	%	1.6	%
Expected Life (Years)	3.0		3.0
Expected Volatility	25.0	%	24.0	%
Expected Dividend Yield	1.4	%	1.3	%

The following table presents a summary of PSU activity for the nine months ended September 29, 2018:



	Shares		Weighted Average Fair Value at Grant Date		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)
Unvested PSUs at December 30, 2017	155,116		$	70.43	2.0
Granted	50,659		83.80
Vested	(1,359	)	57.43
Forfeited	(36,576	)	83.55
Unvested PSUs at September 29, 2018	167,840		$	71.71	2.0

Compensation expense for awards granted is recognized based on the grant issuance value or the expected payout ratio depending upon the performance criterion for the award, net of estimated forfeitures. Compensation expense recognized related to PSUs was $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2018. Total unrecognized compensation expense for all PSUs granted as of September 29, 2018 is estimated to be $6.6 million which is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

10. INCOME TAXES

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) was signed into law revising the US corporate income tax. Changes included, but are not limited to, a corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the elimination of certain deductions and imposing a mandatory one-time tax on accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The primary impacts of the Act reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relate to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from the change in the corporate tax rate; a one-time mandatory transition tax on undistributed earnings of foreign affiliates; and deferred taxes in connection with a change in the Company’s intent to permanently reinvest the historical undistributed earnings of its foreign affiliates. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) provided guidance that allows the Company to record provisional amounts if the accounting assessment is incomplete for impacts of the Act, with the requirement that the accounting be finalized in a period not to exceed one year from the date of enactment. The Company recorded a net $1.0 million provisional reduction in tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2017, the period in which the legislation was enacted. The provisional benefit recognized related to the remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse was $51.0 million. The provisional expense recognized related to the one-time tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings was $40.0 million of which the Company will elect to pay over a period of eight years.

During the three months ended September 29, 2018, the U.S. Department of Treasury released proposed rules affecting the computation of the Company’s 2017 federal income tax liability. As a result of this new guidance and additional analysis of the impacts of the Act, the Company revised its prior estimates and recorded $6.6 million of tax benefit related to the Act during the three months ended September 29, 2018. The Company continues to treat these amounts as provisional until the final regulations are issued or one year from the date of enactment has lapsed, whichever is earlier. The final impact may differ from this estimate, possibly materially, if the final regulations are issued prior to December 29, 2018.

The Act also subjects US shareholders to tax on Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The FASB Staff Q&A, Topic 740, No. 5, Accounting for GILTI, states than an entity can make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred as a period expense only. Given the complexity of the GILTI provisions, the Company is still evaluating the effects of the GILTI provisions and has not yet determined an accounting policy. As of September 29, 2018, the Company has included GILTI related to current year earnings only in its estimated annual effective tax rate and has not provided additional GILTI on deferred items.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 29, 2018 was 6.4% versus 21.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 29, 2018 was 17.3% versus 21.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 29, 2018 was primarily driven by the impact of the Act and the mix of earnings. The change in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 29, 2018 was primarily driven by the impact of the Act and the mix of earnings.

As of September 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $5.7 million and $6.7 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would impact the effective income tax rate if recognized. Potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense.

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to US Federal and state/local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2013, and the Company is no longer subject to non-US income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2011.

11. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Diluted earnings per share is calculated based upon earnings applicable to common shares divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the effect of other dilutive securities. The amount of the anti-dilutive shares were 0.6 million and 0.5 million for the three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively, and 0.6 million and 0.4 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. The following table reconciles the basic and diluted shares used in earnings per share calculations for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017 (in millions):
