Item 8.01

Other Events.

As previously disclosed, the management of Esterline Technologies Corporation (the “Company”), after consultation and discussions with Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, concluded that the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for such period cannot be relied upon and will be restated due to the identification of an accounting error in the Company’s Sensors and Systems segment.

In light of the ongoing work to correct the error and to assess the Company’s related internal controls, the Company expects that it will file an amendment on Form 10-K/A to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 29, 2017 and its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2017 by the end of March 2018. Consequently, the Form 10-Q will not be filed by the February 7, 2018 deadline established by the Securities and Exchange Commission for that filing.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
