A Message from Tom Gendron
Woodward has conducted business with integrity since 1870. I am pleased to maintain the Tradition of Integrity carried on by each of Woodward's five prior
chief executives. I strongly support the Woodward Codes of Business Conduct and Ethics
as a written expression of the Tradition of Integrity central to Woodward's culture.
Woodward is not merely responding to reforms in the wake of corporate scandals. In emphasizing our commitment to A Tradition of Integrity,
we are expressing Woodward's core values and principles.
These core values and principles are essential to us, and we expect everyone at Woodward to behave accordingly. Each of the members of our Board of
Directors has committed to act ethically at all times and to adhere to the policies in the Woodward Codes of Business Conduct and Ethics. All of our members,
including officers and senior management, are required to comply with these codes. The commitment also extends to others who represent or act on behalf of Woodward.
Representatives are instructed that their conduct on our behalf shall comply with these codes.
Within the Woodward Codes of Business Conduct and Ethics there are two codes:
1) the Woodward Code of Business Conduct and 2) the Woodward Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers and Other Finance Members.

Tom Gendron,
President and Chief Executive Officer
The Woodward Code of Business Conduct applies to all Woodward members as well as to Woodward's directors.
The Woodward Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers and Other Finance Members is specifically directed to Woodward's Finance group. In compliance with
applicable law, this code also applies to Senior Financial Officers and to me as Woodward's President and Chief Executive Officer.
These codes also reference two related policies. Policy 2-16 "Trades of Woodward Stock" addresses in detail issues
of insider trading. Policy 1-15 "Reporting Violations" establishes the policies and procedures for reporting violation
of these codes. A hot line is available to report violations. Reports can be submitted anonymously.
Woodward Codes of Business Conduct serve to guide us in acting on behalf of Woodward.
It is essential that every member and
representative of Woodward understands and complies
with them.
