Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) The reporting person participates in the Woodward Executive Benefit Plan (Plan). Pursuant to an election made under the Plan, each phantom stock unit (PSU) accrued under the Plan entitled the reporting person to receive on 01/15/15 1 share of Woodward, Inc. (Company) common stock, less shares not distributed to the reporting person to cover tax liabilities. See Footnote 2. The reporting person received a net distribution of 15,380.999 shares of Company common stock. PSUs are accrued under the Plan and are to be settled in 100% stock on a 1-for-1 basis at the distribution date specified at the time of election. Each PSU is the economic equivalent of 1 share of Company common stock. The total shown represents the dollar amount of deferrals divided by the current share price and, therefore, the number of shares reported may fluctuate from period to period. The total shown also includes PSUs acquired in connection with dividend reinvestments and other acquisitions made under the Plan.
(2) Represents the number of shares required to be sold by the Reporting Person to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with the distribution of shares from the Plan. This sale is mandated by the terms of the Plan which require the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations to be funded by a "sell to cover" transaction and does not represent a discretionary trade by the Reporting Person.
(3) Mr. Halbrook beneficially owns 258,364 shares sold in 2011 to The Halbrook Family Irrevocable Trust (the "Halbrook Family Trust Shares"), of which Mr. Halbrook's children are the beneficiaries and trustees without dispositive power with respect to these shares. The Halbrook Family Trust Shares were sold by Mr. Halbrook in exchange for a promissory note in the principal amount of $8,936,200, accruing interest at the rate of 1.5% per year.
(4) Phantom stock units disposed of incident to the settlement of a distribution from the Plan in accordance with Rule 16b-3.
