ITEM 1. Business
General
We are a global security and aerospace company principally engaged
in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and
sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services.
We also provide a broad range of management, engineering,
technical, scientific, logistics, system integration and
cybersecurity services. Our main areas of focus are in defense,
space, intelligence, homeland security and information technology,
including cybersecurity. We serve both U.S. and international
customers with products and services that have defense, civil and
commercial applications, with our principal customers being
agencies of the U.S. Government.
We operate in a complex and evolving global security environment.
Our strategy consists of the design and development of platforms
and systems that meet the future requirements of 21st Century
Security. Our vision for 21st Century Security is to accelerate the
adoption of advanced networking and leading-edge technologies into
our national defense enterprise, while enhancing the performance
and value of our platforms and products for our customers. The aim
of 21st Century Security is to integrate new and existing systems
across all domains with advanced, open-architecture networking and
operational technologies to make forces more agile, adaptive and
unpredictable.
21st Century Security is an overarching vision that will guide our
investment and strategy and we are also focused on four elements
for potential growth in the near to mid-term: current programs of
record, classified programs, hypersonics and new awards. We have
multiple programs of record from each business segment that are
entering growth stages, including the F-35 sustainment activity
(Aeronautics), increased PAC-3 production rates (Missiles and Fire
Control), CH-53K heavy lift helicopter (Rotary and Mission
Systems), and the modernization and enhancements to the Trident II
D5 Fleet Ballistic Missile (Space). We are engaged in significant
classified development programs and pending successful achievement
of the objectives within those programs, we expect to begin the
transition from development to production over the next few years.
We are currently performing on multiple hypersonic programs and
following the successful completion of ongoing testing and
evaluation activity, multiple programs are expected to enter early
production phases between 2023 and 2026. Finally, we are always in
pursuit of new program awards to develop future platforms that
enable us to continue to place security capability into the market
and expand our global reach.
Key to enabling success of our strategy is developing
differentiating technologies, forging strategic partnerships,
including with commercial companies, executing on our multi-year
business transformation initiative to enhance our digital
infrastructure and increase efficiencies and collaboration
throughout our business and maintaining fiscal discipline.
Underpinning our ability to execute our strategy is our talent and
culture. We invest substantially in our people to ensure that our
workforce has the technical skills necessary to succeed, and we
expect to continue to invest internally in innovative technologies
that address rapidly evolving mission requirements for our
customers. We also will continue to evaluate our portfolio and will
make strategic acquisitions or divestitures, as appropriate, while
deepening our connection to commercial industry through cooperative
partnerships, joint ventures, and equity investments.
We operate in four business segments: Aeronautics, Missiles and
Fire Control (MFC), Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS) and Space. We
organize our business segments based on the nature of the products
and services offered.

As previously announced, on June 30, 2021, the UK Ministry of
Defence terminated the contract to operate the UK’s nuclear
deterrent program and assumed control of the entity that manages
the program (referred to as the renationalization of the Atomic
Weapons Establishment (AWE program)). Accordingly, the AWE program,
including the entity that manages the program, was no longer
included in our financial results as of that date.
Intellectual Property
We routinely apply for and own a substantial number of U.S. and
foreign patents and trademarks related to the products and services
we provide. We also develop and own other intellectual property,
including copyrights, trade secrets and research, development and
engineering know-how, that contributes significantly to our
business. In addition, we license intellectual property to and from
third parties. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense
Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) provide the U.S.
Government certain rights in intellectual property, including
patents, developed by us and our subcontractors and suppliers in
performance of government contracts or with government funding. The
U.S. Government may use or authorize others, including competitors,
to use such intellectual property. See the discussion of matters
related to our intellectual property in Item 1A - Risk Factors.
Non-U.S. governments also may have certain rights in patents and
other intellectual property developed in performance of our
contracts for them. Although our intellectual property rights in
the aggregate are important to the operation of our business, we do
not believe that any existing patent, license or other intellectual
property right is of such importance that its loss or termination
would have a material adverse effect on our business taken as a
whole.
Research and Development
We conduct research and development (R&D) activities using our
own funds (referred to as company-funded R&D or independent
research and development (IR&D)) and under contractual
arrangements with our customers (referred to as customer-funded
R&D) to enhance existing products and services and to develop
future technologies. R&D costs include basic research, applied
research, concept formulation studies, design, development, and
related test activities. See “Note 1 – Organization and
Significant Accounting Policies” (under the caption “Research and
development and similar costs”) included in our Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Raw Materials, Suppliers and Seasonality
Some of our products require relatively scarce raw materials.
Historically, we have been successful in obtaining the raw
materials and other supplies needed in our manufacturing processes.
For example, aluminum and titanium are important raw materials used
in certain of our Aeronautics and Space programs. Long-term
agreements have helped enable a continued supply of these
materials. In addition, carbon fiber is an important ingredient in
composite materials used in our Aeronautics programs,
such as the F-35 aircraft. We rely on other companies to provide
materials, components and products, including advanced
microelectronics such as semiconductors, and to perform a portion
of the services that are provided to our customers under the terms
of most of our contracts. During 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic,
supply chain challenges, and increased demand caused global
semiconductor chip shortages, extended lead times and pricing
escalations and these are expected to continue in 2023. These
supplier disruptions have resulted in delays and increased costs
and have adversely affected our program performance and operating
results. For more information on the risks related to our suppliers
and raw materials, see Item 1A - Risk Factors.
No material portion of our business is considered to be seasonal.
Various factors, however, can affect the distribution of our sales
between accounting periods, including the timing of government
awards, the availability of government funding, product deliveries
and customer acceptance.
Human Capital Resources
Due to the specialized nature of our business, our performance
depends on identifying, attracting, developing, motivating and
retaining a highly skilled workforce in multiple areas, including
engineering, science, manufacturing, information technology,
cybersecurity, business development and strategy and management.
Our human capital management strategy, which we refer to as our
people strategy, is tightly aligned with our business needs and
technology strategy. During 2022, our human capital efforts were
focused on continuing to accelerate the transformation of our
technology for workforce management through investments in upgraded
systems and processes, and continuing to increase our agility to
meet the quickly changing needs of the business, all while
maintaining a respectful, challenging, supportive and inclusive
working environment. We use a variety of human capital measures in
managing our business, including: workforce demographics; hiring
metrics; talent management metrics, including retention rates of
top talent; and diversity metrics with respect to representation,
attrition, hiring, promotions and leadership.
Workforce Demographics
As of December 31, 2022, we had a highly skilled workforce
made up of approximately 116,000 employees, including approximately
60,000 engineers, scientists and information technology
professionals. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 93% of
our workforce was located in the U.S. and approximately 19% of our
employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements with
various unions. A number of our existing collective bargaining
agreements expire in any given year. Historically, we have been
successful in negotiating renewals to expiring agreements without
any material disruption of operating activities, and management
considers employee and union relations to be good.
Diversity and Inclusion
Diversity and inclusion is a business imperative for us, as we
believe that it is key to our future success. We have focused our
diversity and inclusion initiatives on employee recruitment,
including investments in minority-serving institutions and
outreach, employee training and development, such as efforts
focused on expanding the diverse talent pipeline, and employee
engagement, including through participation in our employee
Business Resource Groups. Our Business Resource Groups are
voluntary, employee-led groups that are open to all employees while
focusing on workplace issues specific to racial/ethnic, gender,
sexual orientation/gender identity, disability or veteran status.
The Business Resource Groups foster a diverse and inclusive
workplace aligned with our organizational mission, values, goals
and business practices and drive awareness and change within our
organization. Through these and other focused efforts, we have
improved the diversity of our overall U.S. workforce and within
leadership positions, specifically in the representation of women,
people of color and people with disabilities. Additionally, our
representation of veterans remains outstanding, at almost four
times the current annual national percentage of veterans in the
civilian workforce.

Talent Acquisition, Retention and Development
We strive to hire, develop and retain the top talent in the
industry. During 2022, we hired more than 14,000 employees, despite
the continuing challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. An
integral part of our people strategy is early career hiring through
college and intern pipelines, particularly in technical fields. In
addition to efforts focused on recruitment, we also monitor
employee attrition across a broad array of categories and segments
of the population, including with respect to diversity and top
talent. Critical to attracting and retaining top talent is employee
satisfaction, and we regularly conduct employee engagement surveys
to gauge employee satisfaction and to understand the effectiveness
of our people strategy. We attract and reward our employees by
providing market competitive compensation and benefits, including
incentives and recognition plans that extend to nonrepresented
employees of all levels in our organization and encourage
excellence through our pay-for-performance philosophy. We also have
continued a teleworking policy that encourages flexible working
arrangements for employees who can meet our customer commitments
remotely, which we believe helps recruit and retain talent. In
addition, we invest in the development of our employees through
training, apprenticeship programs, leadership development plans and
offering tuition assistance programs for continuing education or
industry certifications. This employee development helps to make us
more competitive and also assists with leadership succession
planning throughout the corporation.
Employee Safety and Health
Our safety and health program seeks to optimize our operations
through targeted safety, health and wellness opportunities designed
to ensure safe work conditions, a healthy work environment, promote
workforce resiliency and enhance business value. As part of this
program, we track employee health and safety measures, including
quarterly and yearly targets related to the number of injury and
illness incidents that occur at work, those incidents that result
in days lost, and the number of days lost due to workplace injuries
and illness. During 2022, these metrics continued to be negatively
impacted by the absence from work and delays in the return to work
related to COVID-19. We continue to take steps to protect our
employees from COVID-19 while sustaining production and related
services, including by establishing minimum staffing and social
distancing and mask wearing policies consistent with current
governmental guidance, cleaning common areas more frequently,
implementing a flexible teleworking policy for employees who can
work from home, encouraging employee vaccinations while monitoring
potential vaccine mandates, and instituting other measures designed
to mitigate and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
For information on the risks related to our human capital
resources, see Item 1A - Risk Factors.
Competition
We compete with many different companies in the defense and
aerospace industry. The Boeing Company, General Dynamics, L3Harris
Technologies, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon Technologies are some
of our primary competitors. Key characteristics of our industry
include long operating cycles and intense competition, which is
evident through the number of competitors bidding on program
opportunities and the number of bid protests (competitor protests
of U.S. Government procurement awards).
We often collaborate with our competitors through teaming
arrangements in efforts to provide our customers with the best mix
of capabilities to address specific requirements. Additionally, a
company competing to be a prime contractor may, upon ultimate award
of the contract to another competitor, serve as a subcontractor to
the ultimate prime contracting company. It is not unusual to
compete for a contract award with a peer company and,
simultaneously, perform as a supplier to or a customer of that same
competitor on other contracts.
Our broad portfolio of products and services competes domestically
and internationally against products and services of the companies
listed above, numerous smaller competitors and startups, and
increasingly, non-traditional defense contractors. In some areas of
our business, customer requirements are changing to encourage or
facilitate expanded competition. Principal factors of competition
include: the technical excellence, reliability, safety and cost
competitiveness of our products and services to the customer;
technical and management capability; the ability to innovate and
develop new products and technologies that improve mission
performance and adapt to dynamic threats; successful program
execution and on-time delivery of complex, integrated systems; the
reputation and customer confidence derived from past performance;
our demonstrated ability to execute and perform against contract
requirements and successfully manage customer relationships; and
our global footprint and accessibility to customers.
The competition for international sales for most of our products
and services is subject to U.S. Government stipulations (e.g.,
export restrictions, market access, technology transfer, industrial
cooperation and contracting practices). We compete against U.S. and
non-U.S. companies (or teams) for contract awards by international
governments. International competitions are also subject to
different laws or contracting practices of international
governments, which affects how we structure our bid
for the procurement. In many international procurements, the
purchasing government’s relationship with the U.S. and its
industrial cooperation programs designed to enhance local industry
are important factors in determining the outcome of a competition.
It is common for international customers to require contractors to
comply with their industrial cooperation regulations, sometimes
referred to as offset requirements, and we have entered into
foreign offset agreements as part of securing some international
business. For more information concerning our international
business, see Item 1A - Risk Factors.
Technological advances in such areas as additive manufacturing,
data analytics, digital engineering, artificial intelligence,
advanced materials, autonomy and robotics, and new business models
such as commercial access to space, are enabling new factors of
competition for both traditional and non-traditional
competitors.
Government Contracts and Regulations
Our business is heavily regulated. We contract with numerous U.S.
Government agencies and entities, principally all branches of the
U.S. military and NASA. We also contract with similar government
authorities in other countries, and they regulate international
sales that are not foreign military sales (FMS) contracted through
the U.S. Government. Additionally, our commercial aircraft products
are required to comply with U.S. and international regulations
governing production and quality systems, airworthiness and
installation approvals, repair procedures and continuing
operational safety.
We must comply with, and are affected by, laws and regulations
relating to the formation, administration and performance of U.S.
Government and other governments’ contracts, including foreign
governments. These laws and regulations, among other
things:
•require
certification and disclosure of all cost or pricing data in
connection with certain types of contract
negotiations;
•impose
specific and unique cost accounting practices that may differ from
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP);
•impose
acquisition regulations, which may change or be replaced over time,
that define which costs can be charged to the U.S. Government, how
and when costs can be charged, and otherwise govern our right to
reimbursement under certain U.S. Government and foreign
contracts;
•require
specific security controls to protect U.S. Government controlled
unclassified information and that our suppliers that have access to
this type of information comply with cyber security
regulations;
•restrict
the use and dissemination of information classified for national
security purposes and the export of certain products, services and
technical data;
•Prohibit
the acquisition from or use by contractors of materials, products
or services procured from certain countries or entities located
outside the United States (e.g., the prohibition on the acquisition
of sensitive materials from non-allied foreign nations and
prohibition on the acquisition and use of certain
telecommunications and video surveillance services or equipment);
and
•require
the review and approval of contractor business systems, including
accounting systems, estimating systems, earned value management
systems for managing cost and schedule performance on certain
complex programs, purchasing systems, material management and
accounting systems for planning, controlling and accounting for the
acquisition, use, issuing and disposition of material, and property
management systems.
The U.S. Government and in limited cases certain other governments
may terminate any of our government contracts and subcontracts
either at their convenience or for default based on our
performance. If a contract is terminated for convenience, we
generally are protected by provisions covering reimbursement for
costs incurred on the contract and profit on those costs. If a
contract is terminated for default, we generally are entitled to
payments for our work that has been accepted by the U.S. Government
or other governments; however, the U.S. Government and other
governments could make claims to reduce our recovery or recoup its
procurement costs and could assess other special penalties. For
more information regarding the U.S. Government’s and other
governments’ right to terminate our contracts and the risks of
doing work internationally, see Item 1A - Risk Factors. For more
information regarding government contracting laws and regulations,
see Item 1A - Risk Factors as well as “Critical Accounting Policies
- Contract Accounting / Sales Recognition” in Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
Additionally, our programs for the U.S. Government often operate
for periods of time under undefinitized contract actions (UCAs),
which means that we begin performing our obligations before the
terms, specifications or price are finally agreed to between the
parties. Although in most cases we historically have reached mutual
agreement to definitize our UCAs, the U.S. Government has the
ability to unilaterally definitize contracts and has done so in the
past. Absent a successful appeal of such action, the unilateral
definitization of the contract obligates us to perform under terms
and conditions imposed by the U.S. Government. The U.S.
Government’s power to unilaterally definitize a contract can affect
our ability to negotiate mutually
agreeable contract terms and, if a contract is unilaterally imposed
upon us, it may negatively affect our expected profit and cash
flows on a program or impose burdensome terms.
A portion of our business is classified by the U.S. Government and
cannot be specifically described. The operating results of
classified contracts are included in our consolidated financial
statements. The business risks and capital requirements associated
with classified contracts historically have not differed materially
from those of our other U.S. Government contracts. However, under
certain classified fixed price development and production
contracts, we are unable to insure risk of loss to government
property because of the classified nature of the contracts and the
inability to disclose classified information necessary for
underwriting and claims to commercial insurers. Our internal
controls addressing the financial reporting of classified contracts
are consistent with our internal controls for our non-classified
contracts.
Our operations are subject to and affected by various federal,
state, local and foreign environmental protection laws and
regulations regarding the discharge of materials into the
environment or otherwise regulating the protection of the
environment. As a result of these environmental protection laws, we
are involved in environmental remediation at some of our current
and former facilities and at third-party-owned sites where we have
been designated a potentially responsible party as a result of our
prior activities and those of our predecessor companies. While the
extent of our financial exposure cannot in all cases be reasonably
estimated, the costs of environmental compliance have not had, and
we do not expect that these costs will have, a material adverse
effect on our earnings, financial position and cash flow, primarily
because substantially all of our environmental costs are allowable
in establishing the price of our products and services under our
contracts with the U.S. Government. For information regarding these
matters, including current estimates of the amounts that we believe
are required for remediation or cleanup to the extent that they are
probable and estimable, see “Critical Accounting Policies -
Environmental Matters” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations and
“Note 14 – Legal Proceedings, Commitments and
Contingencies” included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. See also the discussion of environmental matters in
Item 1A - Risk Factors.
There is an increasing global regulatory focus on greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions and their potential impacts relating to climate
change. Future laws, regulations or policies in response to
concerns over GHG emissions such as carbon taxes, mandatory
reporting and disclosure obligations, including environmental
requirements for certain federal contractors and subcontractors and
the SEC’s proposed climate-related disclosure rule, and changes in
procurement policies, including the use of environmental goals in
proposal evaluation, could significantly increase our operational
and compliance burdens and costs. We monitor developments in
climate-change related regulation for their potential effect on us
and also have a comprehensive sustainability program that seeks to
mitigate our impact on the environment, including targets to reduce
our GHG emissions. For more information on the risk of
climate-change related regulation, see Item 1A - Risk
Factors.

common stock or debt securities.
Risks Related to our Reliance on Government Contracts
We depend heavily on contracts with the U.S. Government for a
substantial portion of our business. Changes in the U.S.
Government’s priorities, or delays or reductions in spending could
have a material adverse effect on our business.
We derived 73% of our total consolidated net sales from the U.S.
Government in 2022, including 64% from the DoD. We expect to
continue to derive most of our sales from work performed under U.S.
Government contracts. Budget uncertainty, the potential for U.S.
Government shutdowns, the use of continuing resolutions, and the
federal debt ceiling can adversely affect our industry and the
funding for our programs. If appropriations are delayed or a
government shutdown were to occur and were to continue for an
extended period of time, we could be at risk of program
cancellations and other disruptions and nonpayment. When the U.S.
Government operates under a continuing resolution, new contract and
program starts are restricted and funding for our programs may be
unavailable, reduced or delayed. Shifting funding priorities or
federal budget compromises, also could result in reductions in
overall defense spending on an absolute or inflation-adjusted
basis, which could adversely impact our business.
We believe our diverse range of products and services generally
make it less likely that cuts in any specific contract or program
will affect our business on a long-term basis. However, termination
of significant programs or contracts could adversely affect our
business and future financial performance. DoD’s changes in funding
priorities also could reduce opportunities in existing programs and
in future programs or initiatives where we intend to compete and
where we have made investments. While we would expect to compete
and be well positioned as the incumbent on existing programs we may
not be successful and, even if we are successful, the replacement
programs may be funded at lower levels or result in lower margins.
In addition, our ability to grow in key areas such as hypersonics
programs, classified programs and next-generation franchise
programs also will be affected by the overall budget environment
and whether development programs transition to production and the
timing of such transition, all of which are dependent on U.S.
Government authorization and funding.
Our contracts with the U.S. Government are conditioned upon the
continuing availability of Congressional appropriations. Congress
usually appropriates funds on a fiscal year (FY) basis even though
contract performance may extend over many years. Consequently,
contracts are often partially funded initially and additional funds
are committed only as Congress makes further appropriations over
time. To the extent we incur costs in excess of funds obligated on
a contract or in advance of a contract award or contract
definitization, we are at risk of not being reimbursed for those
costs unless and until additional funds are obligated under the
contract or the contract is successfully awarded, definitized and
funded, which could adversely affect our results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows.
The F-35 program comprises a material portion of our revenue and
reductions or delays in funding for this program and risks related
to the development, production, sustainment, performance, schedule,
cost and requirements of the program could adversely affect our
performance.
The F-35 program, which consists of multiple development,
production and sustainment contracts, is our largest program and
represented 27% of our total consolidated net sales in 2022. A
decision by the U.S. Government or international partner and FMS
customer countries to cut spending on this program or reduce or
delay planned orders would have an adverse impact on our business
and results of operations. Given the size and complexity of the
F-35 program, we anticipate that there will be continual reviews
related to aircraft performance, program and delivery schedule,
cost, and requirements as part of the DoD, Congressional, and
international countries’ oversight and budgeting processes. Current
program challenges include our and our suppliers’ performance
(including COVID-19 performance-related challenges), software
development, definitizing and receiving funding for contracts on a
timely basis, execution of future flight tests and findings
resulting from testing and operating the aircraft, the level of
cost associated with life cycle operations and sustainment,
inflation-related cost pressures and the ability to continue to
improve affordability. Our planned production rates and deliveries
have been adversely affected and could continue to be adversely
affected by COVID-19 or supplier performance challenges, which
affect our results of operations. For example, during 2022, we
experienced a temporary halt of F-35 deliveries due to
non-compliant materials in a component provided by a supplier,
which affected timing of deliveries. Additionally, as described in
the “Status of the F-35 Program” in Management Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, we are
experiencing a pause in aircraft deliveries due to the suspension
of Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) engine deliveries and
corresponding flight restrictions that were issued by the U.S.
Government. If not resolved in a timely manner, this could impact
our results of operations and cash flows. See also the Risk Factor
below captioned “We are heavily dependent on suppliers and if our
subcontractors or other suppliers or teaming agreement or joint
venture partners fail to perform their obligations, our performance
and ability to win future business could be adversely affected” for
a discussion of the risk of non-compliant parts and the supply
chain.
We also may not be successful in making hardware upgrades and other
modernization capabilities in a timely manner, including as a
result of dependencies on suppliers, which could increase costs and
create schedule delays. Our ability to capture and retain future
F-35 growth in development, production and sustainment is dependent
on the success of our efforts to achieve F-35 sustainment
performance, customer affordability, supply chain improvements,
continued reliability improvements and other efficiencies, some of
which are outside our control.
We are subject to extensive procurement laws and regulations,
including those that enable the U.S. Government to terminate
contracts for convenience. Our business and reputation could be
adversely affected if we or those we do business with fail to
comply with or adapt to existing or new procurement laws and
regulations, which are regularly evolving.
We and others with which we do business must comply with laws and
regulations relating to the award, administration and performance
of U.S. Government contracts. Government contract laws and
regulations affect how we do business with our customers and impose
certain risks and costs on our business. A violation of these laws
and regulations by us, our employees, others working on our behalf,
a supplier or a joint venture partner could harm our reputation and
result in the imposition of fines and penalties, the termination of
our contracts, suspension or debarment from bidding on or being
awarded contracts, loss of our ability to export products or
perform services and civil or criminal investigations or
proceedings. In addition, costs to comply with new government
regulations can increase our costs, reduce our margins and
adversely affect our competitiveness.
Government contract laws and regulations can impose terms or
obligations that are different than those typically found in
commercial transactions. One of the significant differences is that
the U.S. Government may terminate any of our government contracts,
not only for default based on our performance, but also at its
convenience. Generally, prime contractors have a similar right
under subcontracts related to government contracts. If a contract
is terminated for convenience, we typically would be entitled to
receive payments for our allowable costs incurred and the
proportionate share of fees or earnings for the work performed.
However, to the extent insufficient funds have been appropriated by
the U.S. Government to the program to cover our costs upon a
termination for convenience, the U.S. Government may assert that it
is not required to appropriate additional funding. If a contract is
terminated for default, the U.S. Government could make claims to
reduce the contract value or recover its procurement costs and
could assess other special penalties, exposing us to liability and
adversely affecting our ability to compete for future contracts and
orders. In addition, the U.S. Government could terminate a prime
contract under which we are a subcontractor, notwithstanding the
fact that our performance and the quality of the products or
services we delivered were consistent with our contractual
obligations as a subcontractor. Similarly, the U.S. Government
could indirectly terminate a program or contract by not
appropriating funding. The decision to terminate programs or
contracts for convenience or default could adversely affect our
business and future financial performance.
Another significant difference from commercial contracting is the
existence in government contracting of the concept of an
undefinitized contract action (UCA), which is when we begin
performing our obligations before the terms, specifications
or
price are finally agreed to between the parties. When operating
under a UCA, the U.S. Government has the ability to unilaterally
definitize contracts, which it has exercised in the past and which
absent a successful appeal, obligates us to perform under terms and
conditions imposed by the U.S. Government. This can affect our
ability to negotiate mutually agreeable contract terms. If a
contract is unilaterally imposed upon us, it may negatively affect
our expected profit and cash flows on a program or impose
burdensome terms.
In addition to the unique risks associated with government
contracts, the U.S. Government utilizes procurement policies that
could negatively impact our profitability or the ability to win new
business. For example, the U.S. Government has procurement policies
that shift risk to contractors, such as using fixed-price contracts
for development programs as described in the following risk factor.
Other changes in procurement policy that could affect the
predictability of our profit rates or make it more difficult to
compete on certain types of programs include favoring more
incentive-based fee arrangements, using different award fee
criteria than historically used (such as the evaluation of
environmental factors) or making government contract negotiation
offers based upon their view of what our costs should be (as
compared to our actual costs). In addition, changes in contract
financing policy for fixed-price contracts, such as changes in
performance and progress payments policies, could significantly
affect the timing of our cash flows. From time to time, the U.S.
Government has proposed contract terms, imposed internal policies,
or taken positions that represent fundamental changes from
historical practices or that we believe are inconsistent with the
FAR or other laws and regulations and that could adversely affect
our business. Also, a portion of our contracts are classified by
the U.S. Government, which imposes security requirements that limit
our ability to discuss our performance on these contracts,
including any specific risks, disputes and claims.
Additionally, the DoD is increasingly pursuing rapid acquisition
pathways and procedures for new technologies, including through so
called “other transaction authority” agreements (OTAs). OTAs are
exempt from many traditional procurement laws, including the FAR,
and an OTA award may be subject, in certain cases, to the condition
that a significant portion of the work under the OTA is performed
by a non-traditional defense contractor or that a portion of the
cost of the protype project is funded by non-governmental sources.
If we cannot successfully adapt to the DoD’s rapid acquisition
processes, then we may lose strategic new business opportunities in
high-growth areas and our future performance and results could be
adversely affected.
Our profitability and cash flow may vary based on the mix of our
contracts and programs, our performance, and our ability to control
costs.
Our profitability and cash flow may vary materially depending on
the types of government contracts undertaken, the nature of
products produced or services performed under those contracts, the
costs incurred in performing the work, the achievement of other
performance objectives and the stage of performance at which the
right to receive fees is determined, particularly under award and
incentive-fee contracts. Failure to perform to customer
expectations and contract requirements may result in reduced fees
or losses and may adversely affect our financial
performance.
Contract types primarily include fixed-price and cost-reimbursable
contracts. Under each type of contract, if we are unable to control
costs, our operating results could be adversely affected. Costs to
complete a contract may increase for a variety of reasons,
including technical and manufacturing challenges, schedule delays,
workforce-related issues, or inaccurate initial contract cost
estimates. These could be caused by a variety of reasons, including
labor shortages, the nature and complexity of the work performed,
the timeliness and availability of materials from suppliers,
internal and subcontractor performance or product quality issues,
inability to meet cost reduction initiatives or achieve
efficiencies from digital transformation, changing laws or
regulations, inflation and natural disasters. Certain contracts may
impose other risks, such as forfeiting fees, paying penalties, or
providing replacement systems in the event of performance
failure.
Cost-reimbursable contracts provide for the payment of allowable
costs incurred during performance of the contract plus a fee up to
a ceiling based on the amount that has been funded. Cost, schedule
or technical performance issues with respect to cost-reimbursable
contracts could result in reduced fees, lower profit rates, or
program cancellation.
Fixed-price contracts are predominantly either firm fixed-price
(FFP) contracts or fixed-price incentive (FPI) contracts. Under FFP
contracts, we receive a fixed price irrespective of the actual
costs we incur and we therefore carry the burden of any cost
overruns. Under FPI contracts, we generally share with the U.S.
Government savings for cost underruns less than target costs and
expenses for cost overruns exceeding target costs up to a
negotiated ceiling price. We carry the entire burden of cost
overruns exceeding the ceiling price amount under FPI contracts.
Due to the fixed-price nature of the contracts, if our actual costs
exceed our estimates, our margins and profits are reduced and we
could incur a reach-forward loss. A reach-forward loss is when
estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total
estimates of the transaction price. When this occurs, a provision
for the entire loss is determined at the contract level and is
recorded in the period in which the loss is evident.
Contracts for development programs include complex design and
technical requirements and are often contracted on a
cost-reimbursable basis, however, some of our existing development
programs are contracted on a fixed-price basis or include cost-type
contracting for the development phase with fixed-price production
options. We expect we also will bid on similar
programs in the future. Fixed-price development work or fixed price
production options, especially on competitively bid programs, is
inherently riskier than cost-reimbursable work because the revenue
is fixed, while the estimates of costs required to complete these
contracts are subject to significant variability due to the complex
and often experimental nature of development programs. The
technical complexity coupled with the fixed-price contract
structure of certain of our ongoing development programs or new
programs increases the risk that our costs will be greater than
anticipated, resulting in reduced margins, operating profit, or
reach-forward losses during the period of contract performance or
upon contract award, all of which could be significant to our
operating results, cash flows, or financial condition. In addition,
we have certain contracts where we bid upfront on cost-reimbursable
development work and the follow-on fixed-price production options
in one submission. This increases the risk that we may experience
lower margins than expected, or a loss, on the production options
because we must estimate the cost of producing a product before it
has been developed. These risks may cause us not to bid on certain
future programs, which could adversely affect our future growth
prospects and financial performance. See Note 1 – Organization and
Significant Accounting Policies included in our Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further details about losses
incurred on certain programs, including fixed-price development
programs.
We also have contracts for the transition from development to
production (e.g., low rate initial production (LRIP) contracts),
where the challenge of starting and stabilizing a manufacturing
production and test line while the final design is being validated
and managing change in requirements or capabilities create
performance and financial risks to our business.
Many of our U.S. Government contracts include multiple option years
and our expected sales or profits may be adversely affected if the
U.S. Government decides not to exercise the options. On the other
hand, the U.S. Government may decide to exercise options for
contracts under which it is expected that our costs may exceed the
contract price or ceiling, which could result in losses or
unreimbursed costs.
We are routinely subject to audit by our customers on government
contracts and the results of those audits could have an adverse
effect on our business, reputation and results of
operations.
U.S. Government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit
Agency, the Defense Contract Management Agency and various agency
Inspectors General, routinely audit and investigate government
contractors. These agencies review a contractor’s compliance with
applicable laws, regulations and contract terms, regarding, among
other things, contract pricing, contract performance, cost
structure and business systems. U.S. Government audits and
investigations often take years to complete, and many result in no
adverse action against us. Like many U.S. Government contractors,
we have received audit and investigative reports recommending the
reduction of certain contract prices or that certain payments be
repaid, delayed, or withheld, and may involve substantial amounts.
Similarly, like other U.S. Government contractors, audits and
investigations also occur related to cost reimbursements that are
based upon our final allowable incurred costs for each year. We
have unaudited or unsettled incurred cost claims related to past
years, which limits our ability to issue final billings on
contracts for which authorized and appropriated funds may be
expiring or can result in delays in final billings and our ability
to close out a contract.
If an audit or investigation uncovers improper or illegal
activities, we may be subject to civil or criminal penalties and
administrative sanctions, including reductions of the value of
contracts, contract modifications or terminations, forfeiture of
profits, suspension of payments, penalties, fines or suspension or
debarment from doing business with the U.S. Government. Suspension
or debarment could have a material adverse effect on us because of
our dependence on contracts with the U.S. Government. In addition,
we could suffer serious reputational harm if allegations of
impropriety were made against us. Similar government oversight and
risks to our business and reputation exist in most other countries
where we conduct business.
Increased competition and bid protests in a budget-constrained
environment may make it more difficult to maintain our financial
performance and customer relationships.
We are facing increased competition from startups and
non-traditional defense contractors, while, at the same time, many
of our customers are facing significant budget pressures and are
trying to do more with less by cutting costs, using fixed price
contracts, deferring large procurements, identifying more
affordable solutions, performing certain work internally rather
than hiring contractors, and reducing product development cycles.
If competitors can offer lower cost services and products, or
provide services or products more quickly, at equivalent or in some
cases even reduced capabilities, we may lose new business
opportunities or contract recompetes, which could adversely affect
our future results. Furthermore, acquisitions in our industry,
including vertical integration, also could result in increased
competition or limit our access to certain suppliers without
appropriate remedies to protect our interests. To remain
competitive, we must maintain consistently strong customer
relationships, seek to understand customer priorities and provide
superior performance, advanced technology solutions and services at
an affordable cost with the agility that our customers require to
satisfy their mission objectives in an increasingly price
competitive environment. Our success in achieving these goals may
depend, among other things, on accurately assessing our customers’
needs and our competitors’ capabilities, containing our total costs
relative to competitors, successfully and efficiently investing in
emerging technologies, adopting innovative business models and
adaptive pricing methods, effectively
collaborating across our business segments, and adopting and
integrating new digital manufacturing and operating technologies
and tools into our product lifecycles and processes.
Additionally, a substantial portion of our business is awarded
through competitive bidding. The U.S. Government increasingly has
relied on competitive contract award types, including
indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity and other multi-award
contracts, which have the potential to create pricing pressure and
to increase our costs by requiring us to submit multiple bids and
proposals. Multi-award contracts require us to make sustained
efforts to obtain task orders under the contract. Additionally,
procurements that do not evaluate whether the cost assumptions in
the bids are realistic can lead to bidders taking aggressive
pricing positions, which could result in the winner realizing a
loss upon contract award or an increased risk of lower margins or
realizing a loss over the term of the contract. The U.S. Government
also may not award us large competitive contracts that we otherwise
might have won in an effort to maintain a broader industrial
base.
We may encounter bid protests from unsuccessful bidders on new
program awards seeking to overturn the award. Unsuccessful bidders
also may protest with the goal of being awarded a subcontract for a
portion of the work in return for withdrawing the protest. Bid
protests can result in significant expenses to us, contract
modifications or even loss of the contract award and the resolution
can extend the time until contract activity can begin and delay the
recognition of sales and defer underlying cash flows and adversely
affect our operating results. Our efforts to protest or challenge
any bids for contracts that were not awarded to us also may be
unsuccessful, including, the December 2022 protest by Lockheed
Martin Sikorsky, on behalf of Team DEFIANT, challenging the U.S.
Army’s award under the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft
competition.
Other Risks Related to our Operations
We are heavily dependent on suppliers and if our subcontractors or
other suppliers or teaming agreement or joint venture partners fail
to perform their obligations, our performance and ability to win
future business could be adversely affected.
We are the prime contractor on most of our contracts and rely on
other companies to provide materials, major components and
products, and to perform a portion of the services that are
provided to our customers under the terms of most of our contracts.
These arrangements may involve subcontracts, teaming arrangements,
joint ventures or supply agreements with other companies upon which
we rely (contracting parties) and, in many cases, our contracting
parties in turn rely on lower-tier subcontractors. We occasionally
have disputes with our contracting parties, including disputes
regarding the quality and timeliness of work performed, workshares,
customer concerns about the other party’s performance, issues
related to lower-tier subcontractor performance, our failure to
issue or extend task orders, or our hiring the personnel of a
subcontractor, teammate or joint venture partner or vice versa. We
also could be adversely affected by actions by or issues
experienced by our contracting parties that are outside of our
control, such as misconduct and reputational issues involving our
contracting parties, which could subject us to liability or
adversely affect our ability to compete for contract awards. The
failure of our supply chain to comply with regulatory requirements
that we flow down from our U.S. government prime contracts also
could adversely affect our operating results, financial condition,
or cash flows. Furthermore, changes in the political or economic
environment, may adversely affect the financial stability and
viability of our contracting parties or lower-tier subcontractors
or their ability to meet their performance
obligations.
A failure by one or more of our contracting parties to provide the
agreed-upon materials, components or products or perform the
agreed-upon services, on a timely basis, according to
specifications, including compliance with regulatory requirements
we flow down from our prime contracts, or at all, has and may
adversely affect our ability to perform our obligations and require
that we transition the work to other companies. Contracting party
performance deficiencies may result in additional costs or delays
in product deliveries and affect our operating results and could
result in a customer terminating our contract for default or
convenience. A default termination could expose us to liability and
affect our ability to compete for future contracts and orders. A
failure by our contracting parties to meet affordability targets
could negatively affect our profitability, result in contract
losses and affect our ability to win new business.
Additionally, we are affected by government procurement
restrictions and issues affecting industry supply chains broadly.
For example, U.S. Government statutes and regulations prohibit the
sourcing of certain rare earth minerals from specified countries.
We seek to manage raw materials supply risk through long-term
contracts, identifying domestic or other U.S. allied alternative
sources of materials that could be subject to embargo, efforts to
increase visibility into our multi-tiered supply chain, and
maintaining an acceptable level of our key materials in
inventories. In addition, advanced microelectronics, including
semiconductors, underpin many of our current and future critical
technologies and platforms, and global shortages of these products
due to COVID-19, increased demand or other supply chain challenges,
as were experienced in 2022, could result in increased procurement
lead times and increased costs and potential shortages, which could
impact our performance. We also must comply with specific
procurement requirements that can limit the number of eligible
suppliers and a significant number of the components or supplies
used are currently single or sole sourced. Because the
identification and qualification of new or additional suppliers can
take an extended period of time, issues with suppliers or trade
actions that limit our ability to use certain suppliers, especially
when single or sole sourced, can have an adverse impact on our
business. Complying with U.S.
Government contracting regulations that limit the source or
manufacture of suppliers and impose stringent cybersecurity
regulations also may create challenges for our supply chain and
increase costs.
We remain heavily dependent on our supply chain for sourcing
contractually compliant components, which is outside of our direct
control and is multi-tiered. The future occurrence of non-compliant
components in the F-35 or other programs could cause suspensions in
product deliveries, remediation work on installed components,
contract price adjustments and alternate supply sourcing, all of
which could adversely affect our results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows.
Our success depends, in part, on our ability to develop new
technologies, products and services and efficiently produce and
deliver existing products.
Many of the products and services we provide are highly engineered
and involve sophisticated technologies with related complex
manufacturing and systems integration processes. Our customers’
requirements change and evolve regularly. Accordingly, our future
performance depends, in part, on our ability to adapt to changing
customer needs rapidly, identify emerging technological trends,
develop and manufacture innovative products and services
efficiently and bring those offerings to market quickly at
cost-effective prices. This includes efforts to provide mission
solutions that integrate capabilities and resources across all
forces and domains, which we refer to as joint all domain
operations, and to implement emerging digital and network
technologies and capabilities. To advance our innovation and
position us to meet our customers’ requirements, we make
investments in emerging technologies that we believe are needed to
keep pace with rapid industry innovation and seek to collaborate
with commercial entities that we believe have complementary
technologies to ours. These commercial entities may not be
accustomed to government contracting and may be unwilling to agree
to the government’s customary terms, including with respect to
intellectual property, liability and indemnification terms. Due to
the complex and often experimental nature of the products and
services we offer, we may experience (and have experienced in the
past) technical difficulties during the development of new products
or technologies. These technical difficulties could result in
delays and higher costs, which may negatively impact our financial
results, and could divert resources from other projects, until such
products or technologies are fully developed. See
Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
further details about losses incurred on certain development
programs. Additionally, there can be no assurance that our
development projects will be successful or meet the needs of our
customers.
Our future success in delivering innovative and affordable
solutions to our customers relies, in part, on our multi-year
business transformation initiative that seeks to significantly
enhance our digital infrastructure to increase efficiencies and
collaboration throughout our business while reducing costs. This
digital transformation effort requires substantial investment and
if we are unable to successfully implement the strategy, our
results of operations and future competitiveness may be adversely
affected.
Our competitors may also develop new technologies, or offerings, or
more efficient ways to produce existing products that could cause
our existing offerings to become obsolete or that could gain market
acceptance before our own competitive offerings. If we fail in our
development projects or if our new products or technologies fail to
achieve customer acceptance or competitors develop more capable
technologies or offerings, we may be unsuccessful in obtaining new
contracts or winning all or a portion of next generation programs,
and this could adversely affect our future performance and
financial results. We also may not be successful in our efforts to
grow in key areas such as hypersonics, classified programs, and
winning next generation franchise programs, which could adversely
affect our future performance.
Adverse macro-economic conditions, including inflation, could
adversely impact our operating results.
Heightened levels of inflation and the potential worsening of
macro-economic conditions, including slower growth or recession,
changes to fiscal and monetary policy, tighter credit, higher
interest rates and currency fluctuations, present a risk for us,
our suppliers and the stability of the broader defense industrial
base. If inflation remains at current levels for an extended
period, or increases, and we are unable to successfully mitigate
the impact, our costs are likely to increase, resulting in pressure
on our profits, margins and cash flows, particularly for existing
fixed-price contracts. For new contract proposals, we are factoring
into our pricing heightened levels of inflation based on accepted
DoD escalation indices and other assumptions, and in some cases
seeking the inclusion of economic price adjustment (EPA) clauses,
which would permit, subject to the particular contractual terms,
cost adjustments in fixed-price contracts for unexpected
inflation.
In addition, our business could be adversely impacted by reductions
or delays in spending by non-U.S. government customers that are
facing budget, inflationary or other pressures, such as increases
in the cost of borrowing from rising interest rates. Rising
interest rates increase the borrowing costs on new debt and could
affect the fair value of our investments. While rising interest
rates reduce the measure of our gross pension obligations, they
also can lead to decline in pension plan assets with offsetting
impacts on our net pension liability. Although we believe defense
spending is more resilient to adverse macro-economic conditions
than many other industrial sectors, our suppliers and other
partners, many of which are more exposed to
commercial markets or have fewer resources, may be adversely
impacted to a more significant degree than we are by an economic
downturn, which could affect their performance and adversely impact
our operations.
The effects of COVID-19 and other potential future public health
crises, epidemics, pandemics or similar events on our business,
operating results, financial condition and cash flows are
uncertain.
In 2022, our performance was affected by supply chain disruptions
and delays, as well as labor challenges associated with employee
absences, travel restrictions, site access, quarantine
restrictions, remote work, and adjusted work schedules. The ongoing
impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance in
future periods, including our ability to execute our programs in
the expected timeframe, remains uncertain and will depend on future
COVID-19-related developments, including the impact of COVID-19
infection or potential new variants or subvariants, the
effectiveness and adoption of COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics,
supplier impacts and related government actions to prevent and
manage disease spread, including the implementation of any federal,
state, local or foreign COVID-19-related controls. The long-term
impacts of COVID-19 on government budgets and other funding
priorities, including international priorities, that impact demand
for our products and services and our business also are difficult
to predict but could negatively affect our future results and
performance.
International sales may pose different economic, regulatory,
competition and other risks.
International sales present risks that are different and
potentially greater than those encountered in our U.S. business. In
2022, 26% of our total net sales were from international customers.
International sales are subject to numerous political and economic
factors, including changes in foreign national priorities, foreign
government budgets, global economic conditions, and fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates, including the impact of a strong
U.S. dollar on the affordability of our products, the possibility
of trade sanctions and other government actions, regulatory
requirements, significant competition, taxation, and other risks
associated with doing business outside the U.S. Sales of military
products and any associated industrial cooperation agreements also
are subject to U.S. export regulations and foreign policy, and
there could be significant delays or other issues in reaching
definitive agreements for announced programs. Competition for
international sales is intense, including from international
manufacturers whose governments sometimes provide research and
development assistance, marketing subsidies and other assistance
for their products and services.
Our international business is conducted through foreign military
sales (FMS) contracted through the U.S. Government and by direct
commercial sales (DCS) to international customers. FMS contracts
with the U.S. Government are subject to the FAR and the DFARS.
Because the U.S. Government functions as an intermediary in FMS
sales, we are reliant on the capacity and speed of the DoD’s
administration of requests from non-U.S. countries to convert
requests to sales. In contrast, DCS transactions represent sales
directly to international customers and are subject to U.S. and
foreign laws and regulations, including import-export control,
technology transfer restrictions, investments, taxation,
repatriation of earnings, exchange controls, the Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act and other anti-corruption laws and regulations, and
the anti-boycott provisions of the U.S. Export Control Reform Act
of 2018. While we have extensive policies in place to comply with
such laws and regulations, failure by us, our employees or others
working on our behalf to comply with these laws and regulations
could result in administrative, civil, or criminal liabilities,
including suspension, debarment from bidding for or performing
government contracts, or suspension of our export privileges, which
could have a material adverse effect on us. We frequently team with
international subcontractors and suppliers who also are exposed to
similar risks.
We believe DCS transactions present a higher level of potential
risks because they involve direct commercial relationships with
parties with which we typically have less familiarity.
Additionally, international procurement and local country rules and
regulations, contract laws and judicial systems differ from those
in the U.S. and, in some cases, may be less predictable than those
in the U.S., which could impair our ability to enforce contracts
and increase the risk of adverse or unpredictable outcomes,
including the possibility that certain matters that would be
considered civil matters in the U.S. are treated as criminal
matters in other countries.
In conjunction with defense procurements, some international
customers require contractors to comply with industrial cooperation
regulations, including entering into industrial participation,
industrial development or localization agreements, sometimes
referred to as offset agreements or contracts, as a condition to
obtaining orders for our products and services. These offset
agreements or contracts generally extend over several years and
obligate the contractor to perform certain commitments, which may
include in-country purchases, technology transfers, local
manufacturing support, consulting support to in-country projects,
investments in joint ventures and financial support projects, and
to prefer local suppliers or subcontractors. The customer’s
expectations in respect of the scope of offset commitments can be
substantial, including high-value content, and may exceed existing
local technical capability. Failure to meet these commitments,
which can be subjective and outside of our control, may result in
significant penalties, and could lead to a reduction in sales to a
country. Furthermore, certain of our existing industrial
development agreements are dependent upon the successful operation
of joint ventures that we do not control and involve products and
services that are outside of our core business, which may increase
the risk that we fail to meet our
industrial cooperation agreements, expose us to compliance risks of
the joint venture and impair our ability to recover our investment.
For more information on our industrial development obligations,
including the notional value of our remaining industrial
development obligations and potential penalties for non-compliance,
see “Contractual Commitments” in Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(MD&A).
Geopolitical issues and considerations could have a significant
effect on our business.
Our business is highly sensitive to geopolitical issues and changes
in regulations (including tariffs, sanctions, embargoes, export and
import controls and other trade restrictions), political
environments or security risks that may affect our ability to
conduct business outside of the U.S., including those regarding
investment, procurement, taxation and repatriation of
earnings.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has significantly elevated global
geopolitical tensions and security concerns. Although the conflict
has resulted in increased demand for some of our products, the
conflict poses certain risks. If we are unable to increase
production to meet demand on the timeframe expected by potential
customers, whether it be from supply constraints, government
funding or otherwise, then we may lose sales opportunities as they
seek alternatives, even less capable ones, that may be able to be
delivered more quickly. In addition, the U.S. Government and other
nations have implemented broad economic sanctions and export
controls targeting Russia, which combined with the conflict have
the potential to indirectly disrupt our supply chain and access to
certain resources. The conflict also has increased the threat of
malicious cyber activity from nation states and other
actors.
During 2020, China announced it may impose sanctions against us in
response to Congressional Notifications of potential Foreign
Military Sales to Taiwan, which included sales of our products. We
will continue to follow official U.S. Government guidance as it
relates to sales to Taiwan and do not see a material impact on our
sales at this time. China has not specified the nature of any such
sanctions, but could seek to restrict our commercial sales or
supply chain, including the supply of rare earth or other raw
materials, and also could impose sanctions on our suppliers,
teammates or partners. The nature, timing and potential impact of
any sanctions that may be imposed by China or any other related
actions that may be taken are uncertain.
International sales also may be adversely affected by actions taken
by the U.S. Government in the exercise of foreign policy,
Congressional oversight or the financing of particular programs,
including the prevention or imposition of conditions upon the sale
and delivery of our products, the imposition of sanctions, or
Congressional action to block sales of our products. For example,
the U.S. Government has imposed certain sanctions on Türkish
entities and persons, which has affected our ability to perform
under contracts supporting the Türkish Utility Helicopter Program
(TUHP), our work with Türkish industry and our opportunity for
sales in Türkiye generally. See Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for more
information on TUHP. In addition, U.S. Government representatives
have raised concerns regarding relationships with the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia, where we have existing business and relationships
that could be jeopardized if sanctions were imposed. Our inability
to perform under contracts with international customers as a result
of actions taken by the U.S. Government has resulted and may in the
future result in claims and contract terminations by these
customers and suppliers, which could have an adverse effect on our
operating results.
We may be unable to benefit fully from or adequately protect our
intellectual property rights or use third-party intellectual
property, which could negatively affect our business.
We own a substantial number of U.S. and foreign patents and
trademarks related to the products and services we provide. In
addition to owning a large portfolio of patents and trademarks, we
develop and own other intellectual property, including copyrights,
trade secrets and research, development and engineering know-how,
which contribute significantly to our business. We also license
intellectual property to and from third parties. The FAR and DFARS
provide that the U.S. Government obtains certain rights in
intellectual property, including patents, developed by us and our
subcontractors and suppliers in performance of government contracts
or with government funding. The U.S. Government may use or
authorize others, including competitors, to use such intellectual
property. Non-U.S. governments also may have certain rights in
patents and other intellectual property developed in performance of
our contracts with these entities. The U.S. Government is pursuing
aggressive positions regarding the types of intellectual property
to which government use rights apply and when it is appropriate for
the government to insist on broad use rights. The DoD is also
implementing an overarching intellectual property acquisition
policy that will require a greater focus and planning as to
intellectual property rights for its programs, and we have no
assurance as to the potential impacts of this policy or any
associated regulatory changes on future acquisitions. The DoD’s
efforts could affect our ability to protect and exploit our
intellectual property and to leverage supplier intellectual
property, for example, if we are unable to obtain necessary
licenses from our suppliers to meet government requirements.
Additionally, third parties may assert that our products or
services infringe their intellectual property rights, which could
result in costly and time-consuming disputes, subject us to damages
and injunctions and adversely affect our ability to compete and
perform on contracts.
Our business and financial performance depends on us identifying,
attracting and retaining a highly skilled workforce.
Our performance is dependent upon us identifying, attracting,
developing, motivating and retaining a highly skilled workforce
with the requisite skills in multiple areas including: engineering,
science, manufacturing, information technology, cybersecurity,
business development and strategy and management. Due to the
national security nature of our work, our performance is also
dependent upon personnel who hold security clearances and receive
substantial training to work on certain programs or tasks and can
be difficult to replace on a timely basis if we experience
unplanned attrition. The market for highly skilled workers and
leaders in our industry as well as the market for individuals
holding high-level security clearances is extremely competitive and
not confined to our industry. For example, we compete with
commercial technology companies outside of the aerospace and
defense industry for qualified technical, cyber and scientific
positions, which may not face the same type of cost pressures as a
government contractor and which may be able to offer more flexible
work arrangements given that certain of our employees must perform
the majority of their work in a secure facility because of the need
to access classified information. If we cannot adequately attract
and retain personnel with the requisite skills or clearances in
this competitive market, our performance and future prospects may
be adversely affected.
Workforce dynamics are constantly evolving. If we do not manage
changing workforce dynamics effectively, it could adversely affect
our culture, reputation and operational flexibility. Beginning with
the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant portion of our workforce began
working remotely and we expect a significant portion to continue
working remotely greater than 50% of the time under our hybrid
workforce model. If we are unable to effectively adapt to this
hybrid work environment long term, then we may experience a less
cohesive workforce, increased attrition, reduced program
performance and less innovation.
It is also critical that we develop and train employees, hire new
qualified personnel, and successfully manage the short and
long-term transfer of critical knowledge and skills, including
leadership development and succession planning throughout our
business. While we have processes in place for management
transition and the transfer of knowledge and skills, the loss of
key personnel, coupled with an inability to adequately train other
personnel, hire new personnel or transfer knowledge and skills,
could significantly impact our ability to perform under our
contracts and execute on new or growing programs.
Additionally, approximately 19% of our workforce is comprised of
employees that are covered by collective bargaining agreements with
various unions. If we encounter difficulties with renegotiations or
renewals of collective bargaining arrangements or are unsuccessful
in those efforts, we could incur additional costs and experience
work stoppages. Union actions at suppliers also can affect us. Any
delays or work stoppages could adversely affect our ability to
perform under our contracts, which could negatively impact our
results of operations, cash flows, and financial
condition.
Our efforts to minimize the likelihood and impact of adverse
cybersecurity incidents and to protect data and intellectual
property may not be successful and our business could be negatively
affected by cyber or other security threats or other
disruptions.
Given the nature of our business, we routinely experience various
cybersecurity threats to our information technology infrastructure,
unauthorized attempts to gain access to our company, employee- and
customer-sensitive information, insider threats and
denial-of-service attacks. Our customers, including sites that we
operate and manage for our customers, suppliers, subcontractors and
joint venture partners, experience similar security
threats.
In addition to cyber threats, we face threats to the security of
our facilities and employees and threats from terrorist acts, which
could materially disrupt our business if carried out. We could also
be impacted by the improper conduct of our employees or others
working on behalf of us who have access to export controlled or
classified information, which could adversely affect our business
and reputation.
The threats we face vary from attacks common to most industries,
such as ransomware, to more advanced and persistent, highly
organized adversaries, including nation state actors, which target
us and other defense contractors and other companies in industries
that are part of U.S. critical infrastructure. These threats can
cause disruptions to our business operations. If we are unable to
protect sensitive information, including complying with evolving
information security and data protection/privacy regulations, our
customers or governmental authorities could question the adequacy
of our threat mitigation and detection processes and procedures.
Moreover, depending on the severity of an incident, our customers’
data, our employees’ data, our intellectual property (including
trade secrets and research, development and engineering know-how),
and other third-party data (such as subcontractors, suppliers and
vendors) could be compromised. Products and services we provide to
customers also carry cybersecurity risks, including risks that they
could be breached or fail to detect, prevent or combat attacks,
which could result in losses to our customers and claims against
us, and could harm our relationships with our customers and
financial results.
We have an extensive global security organization whose mission is
to protect our systems and data, including a Computer Incident
Response Team (CIRT) to defend against cyber attacks, and conduct
annual training of our employees on protection of sensitive
information. We also have a corporate-wide counterintelligence and
insider threat detection program to proactively identify external
and internal threats, and mitigate those threats in a timely
manner. Additionally, we partner with our defense industrial base
peers, government agencies and cyber associations to share
intelligence to further defend against cyber attacks. However,
because of the persistence, sophistication and volume of cyber
attacks, we may not be successful in defending against an attack
that could have a material adverse effect on us and due to the
evolving nature of these security threats and the national security
aspects of much of the data we protect, the impact of any future
incident cannot be predicted. National security considerations may
also preclude us from publicly disclosing a cybersecurity
incident.
We also typically work cooperatively with our customers, suppliers,
subcontractors, joint venture partners and entities we acquire, who
or which are subject to similar threats, to seek to minimize the
impact of cyber threats, other security threats or business
disruptions. These entities, which are typically outside our
control and may have access to our information, have varying levels
of cybersecurity expertise and safeguards, and their relationships
with government contractors, including us, may increase the
likelihood that they are targeted by the same cyber threats we
face. We have thousands of direct suppliers and even more indirect
suppliers with a wide variety of systems and cybersecurity
capabilities and adversaries actively seek to exploit security and
cybersecurity weaknesses in our supply chain. A breach in our
multi-tiered supply chain could impact our data or customer
deliverables. We must rely on this supply chain for detecting and
reporting cyber incidents, which could affect our ability to report
or respond to cybersecurity incidents effectively or in a timely
manner. Because of the ongoing supply chain cyber security-related
threats, our customers continue to seek that large prime
contractors, like us, take steps to assure the cyber capabilities
of their supply chain. Consequently, cyber security events in our
supply chain could have an adverse impact on our relationships with
our customers.
The costs related to cyber or other security threats or disruptions
may not be fully insured or indemnified by other means.
Additionally, some cyber technologies we develop under contract for
our customers, particularly those related to homeland security, may
raise potential liabilities related to intellectual property and
civil liberties, including privacy concerns, which may not be fully
insured or indemnified by other means or involve reputational risk.
Our enterprise risk management program includes threat detection
and cybersecurity mitigation plans, and our disclosure controls and
procedures address cybersecurity and include elements intended to
ensure that there is an analysis of potential disclosure
obligations arising from security breaches. We also maintain
compliance programs to address the potential applicability of
restrictions on trading while in possession of material, nonpublic
information generally and in connection with a cybersecurity
breach.
If we fail to successfully complete or manage acquisitions,
divestitures, equity investments and other transactions or if
acquired entities or equity investments fail to perform as
expected, our financial results, business and future prospects
could be harmed.
In pursuing our business strategy, we routinely conduct
discussions, evaluate companies, and enter into agreements
regarding possible acquisitions, joint ventures, other investments
and divestitures. We seek to identify acquisition or investment
opportunities that will expand or complement our existing products
and services or customer base, at reasonable valuations. To be
successful, we must conduct due diligence to identify valuation
issues and potential loss contingencies or underlying risks, some
of which are difficult to discover or assess prior to consummation
of an acquisition or investment; negotiate transaction terms;
complete and close complex transactions; integrate acquired
companies and employees; and realize anticipated operating
synergies efficiently and effectively. U.S. regulators have
increased their scrutiny of mergers and acquisitions in recent
years, which could continue to limit our ability to execute certain
transactions that we might otherwise pursue, such as the
termination of our proposed acquisition of Aerojet Rocketdyne in
2022.
Acquisition, divestiture, joint venture and investment transactions
often require substantial management resources and have the
potential to divert our attention from our existing business.
Unidentified or identified but uncertain liabilities that are not
covered by indemnification or other coverage could adversely affect
our future financial results. This is particularly the case in
respect of successor liability under procurement laws and
regulations such as the False Claims Act or the Truthful Cost or
Pricing Data Act (formerly the Truth in Negotiations Act),
anti-corruption, environmental, tax, import-export and technology
transfer laws, which provide for civil and criminal penalties and
the potential for debarment. We also may incur unanticipated costs
or expenses, including post-closing asset impairment charges,
expenses associated with eliminating duplicate facilities, employee
retention, transaction-related or other litigation, and other
liabilities. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our
business and results of operations.
Joint ventures and other noncontrolling investments operate under
shared control with other parties. These investments typically face
many of the same risks and uncertainties as we do, but may expose
us to additional risks not present if we retained full control. A
joint venture partner may have economic or other business interests
that are inconsistent with ours and we may be unable to prevent
strategic decisions that may adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of
operations. We also could be adversely affected by, or liable for,
actions taken by these joint ventures that we do not control,
including violations of anti-corruption, import and export,
taxation and anti-boycott laws.
Depending on our rights and percentage of ownership, we may
consolidate the financial results of such entities or account for
our interests under the equity method. Under the equity method of
accounting for nonconsolidated ventures and investments, we
recognize our share of the operating profit or loss of these joint
ventures in our results of operations. Our operating results are
affected by the conduct and performance of businesses over which we
do not exercise control and, as a result, we may not be successful
in achieving the growth or other intended benefits of strategic
investments.
We make investments in certain companies that we believe are
advancing or developing new technologies applicable to our core
businesses and new initiatives important to us. These investments
may be in the forms of common or preferred stock, warrants,
convertible debt securities or investments in funds and are
generally illiquid at the time of investment, which limits our
ability to exit an investment or realize an investment return
absent a liquidity event. We generally seek to exit these
investments following a liquidity event, such as a public offering
and expiration of any applicable lock up or other restrictions,
subject to market conditions, although we may not be successful in
exiting in a timely manner. Typically, we hold a non-controlling
interest and, therefore, are unable to influence strategic
decisions by these companies and may have limited visibility into
their activities, which may result in our not realizing the
intended benefits of the investments. For fund investments, we have
even less influence and visibility as a non-controlling investor in
a fund that invests in other companies. We may recognize
significant gains or losses attributable to adjustments of the
investments’ fair value, including impairments up to and including
the full value of the investment, which can be affected by the
success of the companies, market volatility and changes in
valuations of our investment holdings. This is particularly the
case for investments that involve companies that have become
publicly traded since changes in the trading price of securities we
hold for investment must be marked to market in each financial
reporting period.
Risks Related to Significant Contingencies, Uncertainties and
Estimates, including Pension, Taxes, Environmental and Litigation
Costs
Pension funding requirements and costs are dependent on return on
pension assets and other economic and actuarial assumptions which
if changed may cause our future earnings and cash flow to fluctuate
significantly and affect the affordability of our products and
services.
Many of our employees and retirees participate in defined benefit
pension plans, retiree medical and life insurance plans, and other
postemployment plans (collectively, postretirement benefit plans).
The impact of these plans on our earnings may be volatile in that
the amount of expense or income we record for our postretirement
benefit plans may materially change from year to year because the
calculations are sensitive to changes in several key economic
assumptions including interest rates and rates of return on plan
assets, other actuarial assumptions including participant longevity
(also known as mortality), as well as the timing of cash funding.
Changes in these factors, including actual returns on plan assets,
may also affect our plan funding, cash flows and stockholders’
equity. We could be required to make pension contributions earlier
and/or in excess than planned if our return on pension assets is
less than our assumptions, which would reduce our free cash
flow.
With regard to cash flow, we have made substantial cash
contributions to our plans as required by the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended, and expect to make
future contributions as required or when deemed prudent. We
generally can recover a significant portion of these contributions
related to our plans as allowable costs on our U.S. Government
contracts, including FMS. However, there is a lag between the time
when we contribute cash to our plans under pension funding rules
and when we recover pension costs under U.S. Government Cost
Accounting Standards (CAS), which can affect the timing of our cash
flows. Our business segments’ results of operations include pension
expense as calculated under CAS while our consolidated financial
statements must present pension income or expense in accordance
with U.S. GAAP Financial Accounting Standards (FAS); differences in
these accounting rules may result in significant period adjustments
referred to as our FAS/CAS pension adjustments.
In recent years, we have taken actions intended to mitigate the
risk related to our defined benefit pension plans through pension
risk transfer transactions whereby we purchase group annuity
contracts (GACs) from insurance companies using assets from the
pension trust. We expect to continue to evaluate such transactions
in the future. Although under the majority of the GACs we have
purchased we are relieved of all responsibility for the associated
pension obligations, we have purchased and may in the future
purchase GACs whereby the insurance company reimburses the pension
plans but we remain responsible for paying benefits under the plans
to covered retirees and beneficiaries and are subject to the risk
that the insurance company will default on its obligations to
reimburse the pension trusts. While we believe pension risk
transfer transactions are beneficial; future transactions,
depending on their size, could result in us making additional
contributions to the pension trust and/or require us to recognize
noncash settlement charges in earnings in the applicable reporting
period.
For more information on how these factors could impact earnings,
financial position, cash flow and stockholders’ equity, see
“Critical Accounting Policies - Postretirement Benefit Plans” in
the MD&A and “Note 11 – Postretirement Benefit Plans”
included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Our estimates and projections may prove to be inaccurate and
certain of our assets may be at risk of future
impairment.
The accounting for some of our most significant activities is based
on judgments and estimates, which are complex and subject to many
variables. For example, accounting for sales using the
percentage-of-completion method requires that we assess risks and
make assumptions regarding future schedule, cost, technical and
performance issues for thousands of contracts, many of which are
long-term in nature. This process can be especially difficult when
estimating costs for development programs because of the inherent
uncertainty in developing a new product or technology.
Additionally, we initially allocate the purchase price of acquired
businesses based on a preliminary assessment of the fair value of
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. For
significant acquisitions we may use a one-year measurement period
to analyze and assess a number of factors used in establishing the
asset and liability fair values as of the acquisition date which
could result in adjustments to asset and liability
balances.
We have $10.8 billion of goodwill assets recorded on our
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 from
previous acquisitions, which represents approximately 20% of our
total assets. These goodwill assets are subject to annual
impairment testing and more frequent testing upon the occurrence of
certain events or significant changes in circumstances that
indicate goodwill may be impaired. If we experience changes or
factors arise that negatively affect the expected cash flows of a
reporting unit, we may be required to write off all or a portion of
the reporting unit’s related goodwill assets. The carrying value
and fair value of our Sikorsky reporting unit are closely aligned.
Therefore, any business deterioration, including the outcome of
upcoming contract awards, contract cancellations or terminations,
or market pressures could cause our sales, earnings and cash flows
to decline below current projections and could cause goodwill and
intangible assets to be impaired. Goodwill and trademarks
associated with Sikorsky were approximately $3.5 billion as of
December 31, 2022. Additionally, Sikorsky may not perform as
expected, or demand for its products may be adversely affected by
global economic conditions, including oil and gas trends that are
outside of our control.
Actual financial results could differ from our judgments and
estimates. See “Critical Accounting Policies” in the MD&A and
Results of Operations and “Note 1 – Organization and
Significant Accounting Policies” included in our Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for a complete discussion of our
significant accounting policies and use of estimates.
Changes in tax laws and regulations or exposure to additional tax
liabilities could adversely affect our financial
results.
Changes in U.S. (federal or state) or foreign tax laws and
regulations, or their interpretation and application, including
those with retroactive effect, could result in increases in our tax
expense and affect profitability and cash flows. For example,
beginning in 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the
option to deduct research and development expenditures immediately
in the year incurred and requires taxpayers to amortize such
expenditures over five years for tax purposes. While the most
significant impact of this provision is to cash tax liability for
2022, the tax year in which the provision took effect, the impact
will decline annually over the five-year amortization period to an
immaterial amount in year six.
The amount of net deferred tax assets will change periodically
based on several factors, including the measurement of our
postretirement benefit plan obligations, actual cash contributions
to our postretirement benefit plans, change in the amount or
reevaluation of uncertain tax positions, and future changes in tax
laws. In addition, we are regularly under audit or examination by
tax authorities, including foreign tax authorities. The final
determination of tax audits and any related litigation could
similarly result in unanticipated increases in our tax expense and
affect profitability and cash flows.
Our business involves significant risks and uncertainties that may
not be covered by indemnity or insurance.
A significant portion of our business relates to designing,
developing and manufacturing advanced defense and technology
products and systems. New technologies may be untested or unproven.
Failure of some of these products and services could result in
extensive loss of life or property damage. Accordingly, we may
incur liabilities that are unique to our products and services. In
some but not all circumstances, we may be entitled to certain legal
protections or indemnifications from our customers, either through
U.S. Government indemnifications under Public Law 85-804, 10 U.S.C.
3861, the Commercial Space Launch Act or the Price-Anderson Act,
qualification of our products and services by the Department of
Homeland Security under the SAFETY Act provisions of the Homeland
Security Act of 2002, contractual provisions or
otherwise.
We seek to obtain insurance coverage from established and reputable
insurance carriers to the extent available in order to cover these
risks and liabilities. However, the amount of insurance coverage
that we maintain or that is available to purchase in the market may
not be adequate to cover all claims or liabilities. Insurance
coverage is subject to the terms and conditions of the insurance
contract and is further subject to any sublimits, exclusions,
restrictions, or defenses, including standard exclusions
for
acts of war. Existing coverage is renewed annually and may be
canceled pursuant to the terms of the policies while we remain
exposed to the risk and it is not possible to obtain insurance to
protect against all operational risks, natural hazards and
liabilities. For example, we are limited in the amount of insurance
we can obtain to cover unusually hazardous risks or certain natural
hazards such as earthquakes, fires or extreme weather conditions,
some of which may be exacerbated by climate change. We have
significant operations in geographic areas prone to these risks,
such as in California, Florida and Texas and certain of our
properties have suffered damage from natural disasters in the past
and may again in the future. We could incur significant costs to
improve the climate resiliency of our infrastructure and supply
chain and otherwise prepare for, respond to, and mitigate the
effects of climate change. In addition, under certain classified
fixed price development and production contracts, we are unable to
insure risk of loss to government property because of the
classified nature of the contracts and the inability to disclose
classified information necessary for underwriting and claims to
commercial insurers. Even if insurance coverage is available, we
may not be able to obtain it in an amount, at a price or on terms
acceptable to us. Some insurance providers may be unable or
unwilling to provide us insurance given the nature of our business
or products. Additionally, disputes with insurance carriers over
coverage terms or the insolvency of one or more of our insurance
carriers may significantly affect the amount or timing of our cash
flows.
Substantial costs resulting from an accident; failure of or defect
in our products or services; natural catastrophe or other incident;
or liability arising from our products and services in excess of
any legal protection, indemnity, and our insurance coverage (or for
which indemnity or insurance is not available or not obtained)
could adversely impact our financial condition, cash flows, and
operating results. Any accident, failure of, or defect in our
products or services, even if fully indemnified or insured, could
negatively affect our reputation among our customers and the public
and make it more difficult for us to compete effectively. It also
could affect the cost and availability of adequate insurance in the
future.
Environmental costs and regulation, including in relation to
climate change, could adversely affect our future earnings as well
as the affordability of our products and services.
We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign requirements
for the protection of the environment, including those for
discharge of hazardous materials and remediation of contaminated
sites. Due in part to the complexity and pervasiveness of these
requirements, we are a party to or have property subject to various
lawsuits, proceedings, and remediation obligations. These types of
matters could result in fines, penalties, cost reimbursements or
contributions, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary
sanctions or relief. We have incurred and will continue to incur
liabilities for environmental remediation at some of our current
and former facilities and at third-party-owned sites where we have
been designated a potentially responsible party as a result of our
historical activities and those of our predecessor companies.
Environmental remediation activities usually span many years, and
the extent of financial exposure can be difficult to estimate.
Among the variables management must assess in evaluating costs
associated with these cases and remediation sites are the status of
site assessment, extent of the contamination, impacts on natural
resources, changing cost estimates, evolution of technologies used
to remediate the site, continually evolving environmental
standards, availability of insurance coverage and indemnification
under existing agreements and cost allowability issues, including
varying efforts by the U.S. Government to limit allowability of our
costs in resolving liability at third-party-owned sites. Our
environmental remediation related liabilities also could increase
significantly because of acquisitions, the regulation of new
substances, stricter remediation standards for existing regulated
substances, changes in the interpretation or enforcement of
existing laws and regulations, or the discovery of previously
unknown or more extensive contamination or new contaminants. For
information regarding these matters, including current estimates of
the amounts that we believe are required for environmental
remediation to the extent probable and estimable, see “Critical
Accounting Policies - Environmental Matters” in the MD&A and
“Note 14 – Legal Proceedings, Commitments and
Contingencies” included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
We manage and have managed various U.S. Government-owned facilities
on behalf of the U.S. Government. At such facilities, environmental
compliance and remediation costs historically have been the
responsibility of the U.S. Government. We have relied, and continue
to rely with respect to past practices, on U.S. Government funding
to pay such costs, notwithstanding efforts by some U.S. Government
representatives to limit this responsibility. Although the U.S.
Government remains responsible for capital and operating costs
associated with environmental compliance, responsibility for fines
and penalties associated with environmental noncompliance typically
is borne by either the U.S. Government or the contractor, depending
on the contract and the relevant facts. Some environmental laws
include criminal provisions. A conviction under environmental law
could affect our ability to be awarded future or perform under
existing U.S. Government contracts.
The increasing global regulatory focus on greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions and their potential impacts relating to climate change
could result in laws, regulations or policies that significantly
increase our direct and indirect operational and compliance
burdens, which could adversely affect our financial condition and
results of operations. These laws, regulations or policies could
take many forms, including carbon taxes, cap and trade regimes,
increased efficiency standards, GHG reduction commitments,
incentives or mandates for particular types of energy or changes in
procurement laws. Changes in government procurement laws that
mandate or take into account climate change considerations, such as
the contractor’s GHG emissions,
GHG emission reduction targets, lower emission products or other
climate risks, in evaluating bids could result in costly changes to
our operations or affect our competitiveness on future bids, or our
ability to bid at all. In addition to incurring direct costs to
implement any climate-change related laws, regulations or policies,
we may see indirect costs rise, such as increased energy or
material costs, as a result of policies affecting other sectors of
the economy. Although most of these increased costs likely would be
recoverable through pricing, to the extent that the increase in our
costs as a result of these policies are greater than our
competitors we may be less competitive on future bids or the total
increased cost in our industry’s products and services could result
in lower demand from our customers. We monitor developments in
climate change-related laws, regulations and policies for their
potential effect on us, however, we currently are not able to
accurately predict the materiality of any potential costs
associated with such developments. In addition, climate
change-related litigation and investigations have increased in
recent years and any claims or investigations against us could be
costly to defend and our business could be adversely affected by
the outcome.
We are involved in a number of legal proceedings. We cannot predict
the outcome of litigation and other contingencies with
certainty.
Our business may be adversely affected by the outcome of legal
proceedings and other contingencies that cannot be predicted with
certainty. As required by U.S. GAAP, we estimate loss contingencies
and establish reserves based on our assessment of contingencies
where liability is deemed probable and reasonably estimable in
light of the facts and circumstances known to us at a particular
point in time. Subsequent developments in legal proceedings may
affect our assessment and estimates of the loss contingency
recorded as a liability or as a reserve against assets in our
financial statements. For a description of our current legal
proceedings, see Item 3 - Legal Proceedings, “Critical Accounting
Policies - Environmental Matters” in Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and
“Note 14 – Legal Proceedings, Commitments and
Contingencies” included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock
There can be no assurance that we will continue to increase our
dividend or to repurchase shares of our common stock.
Cash dividend payments and share repurchases are subject to
limitations under applicable laws and the discretion of our Board
of Directors and are determined after considering then-existing
conditions, including earnings, other operating results and capital
requirements and cash deployment alternatives. Our payment of
dividends and share repurchases could vary from historical
practices or our stated expectations. Decreases in asset values or
increases in liabilities, including liabilities associated with
employee benefit plans and assets and liabilities associated with
taxes, can reduce net earnings and stockholders’ equity. Under
certain circumstances, a deficit in stockholders’ equity could
limit our ability to pay dividends and make share repurchases under
Maryland state law in the future. In addition, the timing and
amount of share repurchases under Board of Directors approved share
repurchase plans may differ from stated expectations and is within
the discretion of management and will depend on many factors,
including our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from
operations in the future or to borrow money from available
financing sources, our results of operations, capital requirements
and applicable law.

We believe our facilities are in good condition and adequate for
their current use. We may improve, replace or reduce facilities as
considered appropriate to meet the needs of our
operations.
ITEM 3. Legal
Proceedings
We are a party to litigation and other proceedings that arise in
the ordinary course of our business, including matters arising
under provisions relating to the protection of the environment, and
are subject to contingencies related to certain businesses we
previously owned. These types of matters could result in fines,
penalties, cost reimbursements or contributions, compensatory or
treble damages or non-monetary sanctions or relief. We believe the
probability is remote that the outcome of each of these matters
will have a material adverse effect on the corporation as a whole,
notwithstanding that the unfavorable resolution of any matter may
have a material effect on our net earnings and cash flows in any
particular interim reporting period. We cannot predict the outcome
of legal or other proceedings with certainty.
We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign requirements
for the protection of the environment, including those for
discharge of hazardous materials and remediation of contaminated
sites. Due in part to the complexity and pervasiveness of these
requirements, we are a party to or have property subject to various
lawsuits, proceedings and remediation obligations. The extent of
our financial exposure cannot in all cases be reasonably estimated
at this time.
For information regarding the matters discussed above, including
current estimates of the amounts that we believe are required for
remediation or clean-up to the extent estimable, see “Critical
Accounting Policies - Environmental Matters” in “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” and “Note 14 – Legal Proceedings, Commitments
and Contingencies” included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

(a)We
close our books and records on the last Sunday of each month to
align our financial closing with our business processes, except for
the month of December, as our fiscal year ends on December 31. As a
result, our fiscal months often differ from the calendar months.
For example, November 28, 2022 was the first day of our December
2022 fiscal month.
(b)In
2010, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program
pursuant to which we are authorized to repurchase our common stock
in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market at
prices per share not exceeding the then-current market prices. From
time to time, our Board of Directors authorizes increases to our
share repurchase program. On October 17, 2022, the Board of
Directors authorized an increase to the program by $14.0 billion.
The total remaining authorization for future common share
repurchases under our share repurchase program was
$10.0 billion as of December 31, 2022. Under the program,
management has discretion to determine the dollar amount of shares
to be repurchased and the timing of any repurchases in compliance
with applicable law and regulation. This includes purchases
pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans, including accelerated share
repurchases. The program does not have an expiration
date.
(c)During
the fourth quarter of 2022, we entered into an accelerated share
repurchase (ASR) agreement to repurchase $4.0 billion of our
common stock. Under the terms of the ASR agreement, we paid
$4.0 billion and received an initial delivery of 6,995,147
shares of our common stock. We expect to receive additional shares
upon final settlement, which is expected in March or April 2023.
The total number of shares of common stock to be received under the
ASR agreement will be based on an average volume-weighted average
price (VWAP) of our common stock during the term of the ASR
agreement, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to
the terms and conditions of the ASR agreement. Average Price Paid
Per Share in the table above does not include ASR
shares.
(d)During
the fourth quarter of 2022, the total number of shares purchased
included 6,215 shares that were transferred to us by employees in
satisfaction of tax withholding obligations associated with the
vesting of restricted stock units. These purchases were made
pursuant to a separate authorization by our Board of Directors and
are not included within the share repurchase program described
above.

(a)Our
operating profit and net earnings from continuing operations and
earnings per share from continuing operations in 2022 were affected
by $100 million ($79 million, or $0.31 per share,
after-tax) of certain severance and other charges that relate to
actions at our RMS business segment, which include severance costs
for reduction of positions and asset impairment charges; severance
and restructuring charges of $36 million ($28 million, or $0.10 per
share, after-tax) in 2021; severance charges of $27 million
($21 million, or $0.08 per share, after-tax) in 2020; and
severance and restructuring charges of $96 million
($76 million, or $0.26 per share, after-tax) in 2018. See
“Note 16 – Severance and Other Charges” included in our
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more
information.
(b)The
impact of our postretirement benefit plans can cause our operating
profit, net earnings, cash flows and certain amounts recorded on
our consolidated balance sheets to fluctuate. Accordingly, our net
earnings were affected by a FAS/CAS pension adjustment of
$738 million in 2022, $668 million in 2021, $2.1 billion
in 2020, $1.5 billion in 2019, and $1.0 billion in 2018.
We made no pension contributions in both 2022 and 2021, $1.0
billion in both 2020 and 2019, and $5.0 billion in 2018. These
contributions caused fluctuations in our operating cash flows and
cash balance between each of those years. See “Critical Accounting
Policies - Postretirement Benefit Plans” in Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for
more information.
(c)Net
earnings include a noncash, non-operating pension settlement charge
of $1.5 billion ($1.2 billion, or $4.33 per share, after-tax) in
2022, and $1.7 billion ($1.3 billion, or $4.72 per share,
after-tax) in 2021, related to the purchase of group annuity
contracts to transfer $4.3 billion and $4.9 billion of gross
pension obligations and related plan assets to an insurance
company.
(d)Net
earnings in 2022 and 2021 include net losses of $114 million
($86 million, or 0.33 per share, after-tax) and net gains of
$265 million ($199 million, or $0.72 per share,
after-tax) due to changes in the fair value of certain
mark-to-market investments.
(e)We
recognized net losses of $176 million ($132 million, or $0.50
per share, after-tax) in 2022 and net gains of $42 million
($32 million, or $0.11 per share, after-tax) in 2021,
$98 million ($74 million, or $0.26 per share, after-tax) in
2020, and $20 million ($15 million, or $0.05 per share,
after-tax) in 2019, and net losses of $11 million ($8 million,
or $0.03 per share, after-tax) in 2018 due to changes in the fair
value of investments and liabilities for deferred compensation
plans.
(f)For
the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2018, operating profit
includes noncash asset impairment charges of $128 million ($96
million, or $0.34 per share, after-tax) and $110 million
($83 million, or $0.29 per share, after-tax) related to
our equity method investee, Advanced Military Maintenance, Repair
and Overhaul Center LLC (AMMROC). See “Note 1 –
Organization and Significant Accounting Policies” included in our
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more
information.
(g)In
2019, we recorded previously deferred noncash gains of
$51 million ($38 million, or $0.13 per share, after-tax)
related to properties sold in 2015 as a result of completing our
remaining obligations.
(h)Net
earnings for the year ended December 31, 2019 include benefits of
$127 million ($0.45 per share) for additional tax deductions for
the prior year, primarily attributable to foreign derived
intangible income treatment based on proposed tax regulations
released on March 4, 2019 and a change in our tax accounting
method. Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2018 include
benefits of $146 million ($0.51 per share) for additional tax
deductions for the prior year, primarily attributable to true-ups
to the net one-time charges related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
enacted on December 22, 2017 and our change in tax accounting
method.
(i)Effective
January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Upon adoption, we recorded
right-of-use operating lease assets of $1.0 billion and operating
lease liabilities of $1.1 billion, approximately $855 million
of which were classified as noncurrent. There was no impact to our
consolidated statements of earnings or cash flows as a result of
adopting this standard. Prior periods were not restated for the
adoption of ASU 2016-02.
ITEM 7. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help
the reader understand our results of operations and financial
condition. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should
be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto included in Item 8 - Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data.
The MD&A generally discusses 2022 and 2021 items and
year-to-year comparisons between 2022 and 2021. Discussions of 2020
items and year-to-year comparisons between 2021 and 2020 that are
not included in this Form 10-K can be found in “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results or
Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on
January 25, 2022.
Business Overview
We are a global security and aerospace company principally engaged
in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and
sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services.
We also provide a broad range of management, engineering,
technical, scientific, logistics, system integration and
cybersecurity services. Our main areas of focus are in defense,
space, intelligence, homeland security and information technology,
including cybersecurity. We serve both U.S. and international
customers with products and services that have defense, civil and
commercial applications, with our principal customers being
agencies of the U.S. Government. In 2022, 73% of our
$66.0 billion in net sales were from the U.S. Government,
either as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor (including 64%
from the Department of Defense (DoD)), 26% were from international
customers (including foreign military sales (FMS) contracted
through the U.S. Government) and 1% were from U.S. commercial and
other customers.
We operate in four business segments: Aeronautics, Missiles and
Fire Control (MFC), Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS) and Space. We
organize our business segments based on the nature of the products
and services offered.
We operate in a complex and evolving global security environment.
Our strategy consists of the design and development of platforms
and systems that meet the future requirements of 21st Century
Security. Our vision for 21st Century Security is to accelerate the
adoption of advanced networking and leading-edge technologies into
our national defense enterprise, while enhancing the performance
and value of our platforms and products for our customers. The aim
of 21st Century Security is to integrate new and existing systems
across all domains with advanced, open-architecture networking and
operational technologies to make forces more agile, adaptive and
unpredictable.
21st Century Security is an overarching vision that will guide our
investment and strategy and we are also focused on four elements
for potential growth in the near to mid-term: current programs of
record, classified programs, hypersonics and new awards. We have
multiple programs of record from each business segment that are
entering growth stages, including the F-35 sustainment activity
(Aeronautics), increased PAC-3 production rates (Missiles and Fire
Control), CH-53K heavy lift helicopter (Rotary and Mission
Systems), and the modernization and enhancements to the Trident II
D5 Fleet Ballistic Missile (Space). We are engaged in significant
classified development programs and pending successful achievement
of the objectives within those programs, we expect to begin the
transition from development to production over the next few years.
We are currently performing on multiple hypersonic programs and
following the successful completion of ongoing testing and
evaluation activity, multiple programs are expected to enter early
production phases between 2023 and 2026. Finally, we are always in
pursuit of new program awards to develop future platforms that
enable us to continue to place security capability into the market
and expand our global reach.
Key to enabling success of our strategy is developing
differentiating technologies, forging strategic partnerships,
including with commercial companies, executing on our multi-year
business transformation initiative to enhance our digital
infrastructure and increase efficiencies and collaboration
throughout our business and maintaining fiscal discipline.
Underpinning our ability to execute our strategy is our talent and
culture. We invest substantially in our people to ensure that our
workforce has the technical skills necessary to succeed, and we
expect to continue to invest internally in innovative technologies
that address rapidly evolving mission requirements for our
customers. We also will continue to evaluate our portfolio and will
make strategic acquisitions or divestitures, as appropriate, while
deepening our connection to commercial industry through cooperative
partnerships, joint ventures, and equity investments.
COVID-19
COVID-19 continued to cause business impacts in 2022. The emergence
of the Omicron variant in late 2021 and resulting increase in
COVID-19 cases in early 2022 adversely impacted our operations and
our supply chain. Our performance was affected during 2022 by
supply chain disruptions and delays, as well as labor challenges
associated with employee absences, travel restrictions, site
access, quarantine restrictions, remote work, and adjusted work
schedules. The recovery from
that disruption has been slower than originally anticipated, in
particular within our supply chain, and some of those supply chain
impacts are expected to continue into 2023. Attendance for
employees required to be onsite fluctuated during 2022 based on
COVID-19 developments. We are actively engaging with our customers
and are continuing to take measures to protect the health and
safety of our employees. In our on-going effort to mitigate supply
chain risks, we accelerated payments of $1.5 billion to our
suppliers as of December 31, 2022, that are due according to
contractual terms in future periods, while consistently
prioritizing small businesses, which make up over half of our
active supply base, as well as at-risk businesses. Additionally, we
have deployed resources at supplier sites to improve oversight and
performance. We will continue to monitor supply chain risks,
especially at small and at-risk related suppliers, and may continue
to utilize accelerated payments in 2023 on an as needed
basis.
The impact of COVID-19 on our operations and financial performance
in future periods, including our ability to execute our programs in
the expected timeframe, remains uncertain and will depend on a
number of factors, including the impact of potential new COVID-19
variants or subvariants, the effectiveness and adoption of COVID-19
vaccines and therapeutics, and supplier impacts and related
government actions to prevent and manage disease spread,. The
long-term impacts of COVID-19 on government budgets and other
funding priorities, including international priorities, that impact
demand for our products and services also are difficult to predict,
but could negatively affect our future results and
performance.
Inflation
Heightened levels of inflation and the potential worsening of
macro-economic conditions present risks for Lockheed Martin, our
suppliers and the stability of the broader defense industrial base.
During 2022, we have experienced impacts to our labor rates and
suppliers have signaled inflation related cost pressures, which
will flow through to our costs and pricing. Although inflation did
not significantly impact our financial results in 2022, if
inflation remains at current levels for an extended period, or
increases, and we are unable to successfully mitigate the impact,
our costs are likely to increase, resulting in pressure on our
profits, margins and cash flows, particularly for existing
fixed-price contracts. For new contract proposals, we are factoring
into our pricing heightened levels of inflation based on accepted
DoD escalation indices and other assumptions, and in some cases
seeking the inclusion of economic price adjustment (EPA) clauses,
which would permit, subject to the particular contractual terms,
cost adjustments in fixed-price contracts for unexpected inflation.
In addition, inflation and the increases in the cost of borrowing
from rising interest rates could constrain the overall purchasing
power of our customers for our products and services, in particular
in the near term to the extent inflation assumptions are less than
current inflationary pressures. Rising interest rates will also
increase our borrowing costs on new debt and could affect the fair
value of our investments. While rising interest rates reduce the
measure of our gross pension obligations, they can also lead to
decline in pension plan assets with offsetting impacts on our net
pension liability. We remain committed to our ongoing efforts to
increase the efficiency of our operations and improve the cost
competitiveness and affordability of our products and services,
which may, in part, offset cost increases from
inflation.
Conflict in Ukraine
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has significantly elevated global
geopolitical tensions and security concerns. As a result, we have
received increased interest for some of our products and services
as countries seek to improve their security posture, particularly
in Europe. In addition, security assistance provided by the U.S.
government to Ukraine has created U.S. government demand to
replenish U.S. stockpiles, resulting in additional and potential
future orders for our products. We are beginning to see this
interest result in initiation of new contract discussions, however,
given the long-cycle nature of our business and current industry
capacity, we do not expect a significant increase in near term
sales from new contracts in response to the conflict. We are
evaluating capacity at our operations and the supply chain to
anticipate potential demand and enable us to deliver critical
capabilities. In addition, the U.S. Government and other nations
have implemented broad economic sanctions and export controls
targeting Russia, which combined with the conflict have the
potential to indirectly disrupt our supply chain and access to
certain resources. We have not, however, experienced significant
adverse impacts to date and we will continue to monitor for any
impacts and seek to mitigate disruption that may arise. The
conflict also has increased the threat of malicious cyber activity
from nation states and other actors. We have taken steps designed
to enhance our defensive posture against tactics and techniques
associated with this increased threat.
Portfolio Shaping Activities
We continuously strive to strengthen our portfolio of products and
services to meet the current and future needs of our customers. We
accomplish this in part by our independent research and development
activities and through acquisition, divestiture and internal
realignment activities.
We selectively pursue the acquisition of businesses, investments
and ventures at attractive valuations that will expand or
complement our current portfolio and allow access to new customers
or technologies. We also may explore the divestiture
of
businesses, investments or ventures that no longer meet our needs
or strategy or that could perform better outside of our
organization or with a different owner. In pursuing our business
strategy, we routinely conduct discussions, evaluate targets and
enter into agreements regarding possible acquisitions,
divestitures, joint ventures and equity investments.
Renationalization of the Atomic Weapons Establishment
Program
On June 30, 2021, the UK Ministry of Defence terminated the
contract to operate the UK’s nuclear deterrent program and assumed
control of the entity that manages the program (referred to as the
renationalization of the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE
program)). Accordingly, the AWE program’s ongoing operations,
including the entity that manages the program, are no longer
included in our financial results as of that date. Therefore,
during 2021, AWE only generated sales of $885 million and
operating profit of $18 million, which are included in Space’s
financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021. During the
year ended December 31, 2020, AWE generated sales of
$1.4 billion and operating profit of $35 million, which
are included in Space’s financial results for 2020.
U.S. Government Funding
On March 28, 2022 the Administration submitted to Congress the
President’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 budget request, which proposed
$813.4 billion in total national defense spending, of which $773
billion was for the base budget of the Department of Defense
(DoD).
On December 29, 2022, the President signed the FY 2023 Omnibus
Appropriations Act into law, which provides $858 billion in total
national defense funding, of which $816.7 billion is for the DoD
base budget. This reflects a $44.6 billion increase over the FY
2023 request for national defense spending, and a $43.7 billion
increase for the DoD.
The FY 2023 Omnibus Appropriations Act also provided separate and
additional funding of $47 billion for Ukraine, the fourth
supplemental since March of 2022, bringing the total amount of
supplemental funding authority provided to $113
billion.
The President’s FY 2024 budget request is anticipated to be
submitted to Congress in March 2023, initiating the FY 2024 defense
authorization and appropriations legislative process. In addition
to the FY 2024 budget process, Congress will have to contend with
the legal limit on U.S. debt, commonly known as the debt ceiling.
The current statutory limit of $31.4 trillion was reached in
January, requiring the Treasury Department to take accounting
measures to continue normally financing U.S. government obligations
while avoiding exceeding the debt ceiling. It is expected, however,
the U.S. government will exhaust these measures by June 2023. If
the debt ceiling is not raised, the U.S. government may not be able
to fulfill its funding obligations and there could be significant
disruption to all discretionary programs and wider financial and
economic repercussions. The federal budget and debt ceiling are
expected to continue to be the subject of considerable
congressional debate. Although we believe DoD, intelligence, and
homeland security programs will continue to receive consensus
support for increased funding and would likely receive priority if
this scenario came to fruition, the effect on individual programs
or Lockheed Martin cannot be predicted at this time.
International Business
A key component of our strategic plan is to grow our international
sales. To accomplish this growth, we continue to focus on
strengthening our relationships internationally through
partnerships and joint technology efforts. Our international
business is conducted either by foreign military sales (FMS)
contracted through the U.S. Government or by direct commercial
sales (DCS) to international customers. In 2022, approximately 74%
of our sales to international customers were FMS and about 26% were
DCS. Additionally, in 2022, substantially all of our sales from
international customers were in our Aeronautics, MFC and RMS
business segments. Space’s sales from international customers were
not material in 2022. See Item 1A - Risk Factors for a discussion
of risks related to international sales.
In 2022, international customers accounted for 33% of Aeronautics’
net sales. There continues to be strong international interest in
the F-35 program, which includes commitments from the U.S.
Government and seven international partner countries and nine FMS
customers, as well as expressions of interest from other countries.
The U.S. Government and the partner countries continue to work
together on the design, testing, production, and sustainment of the
F-35 program. Other areas of international expansion at our
Aeronautics business segment include the F-16 and C-130J programs,
which continue to draw interest from international customers for
new aircraft.
In 2022, international customers accounted for 31% of MFC’s net
sales. Our MFC business segment continues to generate significant
international interest, most notably in the air and missile defense
product line, which produces the Patriot Advanced Capability-3
(PAC-3) and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD)
systems. Fourteen nations have chosen PAC-3 Cost Reduction
Initiative (CRI) and PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) to
provide missile defense capabilities.
Additionally, we continue to see international demand for our
tactical and strike missile products, where we received orders for
precision fires systems from Germany and Taiwan and for Long Range
Anti-Ship Missiles (LRASM) from Australia.
In 2022, international customers accounted for 28% of RMS’ net
sales. Our RMS business segment continues to experience
international interest in the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense
System (Aegis) for which we perform activities in the development,
production, modernization, ship integration, test and lifetime
support for ships of international customers such as Japan, Spain,
Republic of Korea, and Australia. We have ongoing combat systems
programs associated with different classes of surface combatant
ships for customers in Canada, Chile, and New Zealand. Our
Multi-Mission Surface Combatant (MMSC) program will provide surface
combatant ships for international customers, such as the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia, designed to operate in shallow waters and the open
ocean. In our training and logistics solutions portfolio, we have
active programs and pursuits in the United Kingdom, the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia, Canada, Singapore, Australia, Germany and France. We
have active development, production, and sustainment support of the
S-70 Black Hawk and MH-60 Seahawk helicopters to international
customers, including India, Philippines, Australia, Republic of
Korea, Thailand, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Greece.
Additionally, in December 2021, the Israeli Ministry of Defense
signed a Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) to procure 12 CH-53K
King Stallion heavy lift helicopters, of which the first four were
awarded in 2022. Commercial aircraft are sold to international
customers to support search and rescue missions as well as VIP and
offshore oil and gas transportation.
Status of the F-35 Program
The F-35 program primarily consists of production contracts,
sustainment activities, and new development efforts. Production of
the aircraft is expected to continue for many years given the U.S.
Government’s current inventory objective of 2,456 aircraft for the
U.S. Air Force, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Navy; commitments from
our seven international partner countries and nine Foreign Military
Sales (FMS) customers; as well as interest from other countries. We
saw strong international demand for the F-35 in 2022. During the
first quarter of 2022, Finland became the seventh FMS customer to
join the program. During the second quarter of 2022, the Government
of Canada selected Lockheed Martin and the F-35 as the preferred
bidder to move into the Finalization Phase of the competitive
process to replace its fighter fleet. As a result of the
Finalization Phase, the Government of Canada recently announced in
January 2023 their commitment to purchase 88 F-35 aircraft. During
the third quarter of 2022, the Swiss government signed a Letter of
Offer and Acceptance for the procurement of 36 F-35 aircraft and
became the eighth FMS customer to join the program. During the
fourth quarter of 2022, the German government signed a Letter of
Offer and Acceptance for the procurement of 35 F-35 aircraft and
became the ninth FMS customer to join the program.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, we finalized the F-35 Low Rate
Initial Production (LRIP) Lots 15-17 production contract with the
U.S. Government for up to 398 aircraft. The agreement includes 145
aircraft for Lot 15, 127 for Lot 16 and up to 126 for a Lot 17
contract option. In 2022 we delivered 141 aircraft and had a
backlog of 345 production aircraft, including orders from our
international partner countries and FMS customers. Since program
inception we have delivered 894 production F-35 aircraft to U.S.
and international customers, including 648 F-35A variants, 178
F-35B variants, and 68 F-35C variants, demonstrating the F-35
program’s continued progress and longevity.
COVID-19 and other impacts experienced by the F-35 enterprise have
continued to impact our near-term production plans. At the end of
2022, there was an issue with the Government Furnished Equipment
(GFE) engine that resulted in a pause in flight operations and 2022
aircraft deliveries were impacted. The delivery pause continues as
flight operations remain on hold and concurrently, GFE engine
deliveries have been suspended. We will have greater clarity if
changes to our 2023 aircraft delivery expectation are required once
the pause in flight operations and the GFE engine delivery
suspension have been resolved. As of January 2023, we plan on
producing 147-153 aircraft in 2023 and 2024, and 2023 deliveries
will be determined pending the resumption of engine deliveries and
other factors. We anticipate annual deliveries of 156 aircraft in
2025 and for the foreseeable future.
Given the size and complexity of the F-35 program, we anticipate
that there will be continual reviews related to aircraft
performance, program, and delivery schedule, cost, and requirements
as part of the DoD, Congressional, and international countries’
oversight, and budgeting processes. Current program challenges
include our and our suppliers’ performance (including COVID-19
performance-related challenges), software development, execution of
future flight tests and findings resulting from testing and
operating the aircraft, the level of cost associated with life
cycle operations, sustainment and potential contractual
obligations, inflation-related cost pressures, and the ability to
improve affordability.
Backlog
At December 31, 2022, our backlog was $150.0 billion
compared with $135.4 billion at December 31, 2021.
Backlog is converted into sales in future periods as work is
performed or deliveries are made. We expect to recognize
approximately 37%
of our backlog over the next 12 months and approximately 61% over
the next 24 months as revenue, with the remainder recognized
thereafter.
Our backlog includes both funded (firm orders for our products and
services for which funding has been both authorized and
appropriated by the customer) and unfunded (firm orders for which
funding has not been appropriated) amounts. We do not include
unexercised options or potential orders under indefinite-delivery,
indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) agreements in our backlog. If any of our
contracts with firm orders were to be terminated, our backlog would
be reduced by the expected value of the unfilled orders of such
contracts. Funded backlog was $95.5 billion at
December 31, 2022, as compared to $88.5 billion at
December 31, 2021. For backlog related to each of our business
segments, see below.
Consolidated Results of Operations
Our operating cycle is primarily long term and involves many types
of contracts for the design, development and manufacture of
products and related activities with varying delivery schedules.
Consequently, the results of operations of a particular year, or
year-to-year comparisons of sales and profits, may not be
indicative of future operating results. The following discussions
of comparative results among years should be reviewed in this
context. All per share amounts cited in these discussions are
presented on a “per diluted share” basis, unless otherwise noted.
Our consolidated results of operations were as follows (in
millions, except per share data):

Substantially all of our contracts are accounted for using the
percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost method. Under the
percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost method, we record net sales
on contracts over time based upon our progress towards completion
on a particular contract, as well as our estimate of the profit to
be earned at completion. The following discussion of material
changes in our consolidated net sales should be read in tandem with
the subsequent discussion of changes in our consolidated cost of
sales and our business segment results of operations because
changes in our sales are typically accompanied by a corresponding
change in our cost of sales due to the nature of the
percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost method. Overall, our sales
were negatively affected in 2022 because of supply chain
impacts.
Product Sales
Product sales decreased $1.0 billion, or 2%, in 2022 as
compared to 2021. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower
product sales of approximately $670 million at RMS mostly due
to lower production volume on Black Hawk and lower net sales for
training and logistics solutions (TLS) programs due to the delivery
of an international pilot training system in the first quarter of
2021; about $315 million at Space primarily due to the
renationalization of AWE on June 30, 2021, partially offset by
higher development volume (Next Generation Interceptor (NGI)); and
approximately $220 million at MFC primarily due to lower
volume on Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) and air
dominance weapon systems. These decreases were partially offset by
higher product sales of about $240 million at Aeronautics
mostly due to higher volume on classified contracts that were
partially offset by lower volume on F-35 contracts.
Service Sales
Service sales decreased $91 million, or 1%, in 2022 as
compared to 2021. The decrease in service sales was primarily due
to lower sales of approximately $155 million at MFC primarily
due to lower volume on the Special Operations Forces Global
Logistics Support Services (SOF GLSS) program.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales, for both products and services, consist of
materials, labor, subcontracting costs and an allocation of
indirect costs (overhead and general and administrative), as well
as the costs to fulfill our industrial cooperation agreements,
sometimes referred to as offset agreements, required under certain
contracts with international customers. For each of our contracts,
we monitor the nature and amount of costs at the contract level,
which form the basis for estimating our total costs to complete the
contract. Our consolidated cost of sales were as follows (in
millions):

The following discussion of material changes in our consolidated
cost of sales for products and services should be read in tandem
with the preceding discussion of changes in our consolidated net
sales and our business segment results of operations. Except for
potential impacts to our programs resulting from COVID-19, supply
chain disruptions and inflation, we have not
identified any additional developing trends in cost of sales for
products and services that would have a material impact on our
future operations.
Product Costs
Product costs decreased approximately $696 million, or 1%, in
2022 as compared to 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable
to lower product costs of approximately $525 million at RMS
mostly due to lower production volume on Black Hawk and
the delivery of an international pilot training system in the first
quarter of 2021;
about $195 million at MFC primarily due to lower volume on air
dominance weapon systems and THAAD; and approximately
$165 million at Space primarily due to the renationalization
of AWE, partially offset by higher development volume (NGI). These
decreases were partially offset by higher product costs of about
$185 million at Aeronautics mostly due to higher volume on
classified contracts that were partially offset by lower volume on
F-35 contracts.
Service Costs
Service costs decreased approximately $183 million, or 2%, in
2022 compared to 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to
lower service costs of approximately $160 million at MFC
primarily due to lower volume on the SOF GLSS program.
Severance and other charges
During the fourth quarter of 2022, we recorded charges totaling
$100 million ($79 million, or $0.31 per share, after-tax)
that relate to actions at our RMS business segment, which include
severance costs for reduction of positions and asset impairment
charges. After a strategic review of RMS, these actions will
improve the efficiency of our operations, better align the
organization and cost structure with changing economic conditions,
and changes in program lifecycles. During 2021, we recorded
severance and restructuring charges of $36 million ($28 million, or
$0.10 per share, after-tax) associated with plans to close and
consolidate certain facilities and reduce the total workforce
within our RMS business segment.
Other Unallocated, Net
Other unallocated, net primarily includes the FAS/CAS pension
operating adjustment (which represents the difference between CAS
pension cost recorded in our business segments’ results of
operations and the service cost component of Financial Accounting
Standards (FAS) pension expense), stock-based compensation expense,
changes in the fair value of investments and liabilities for
deferred compensation plans and other corporate costs. These items
are not allocated to the business segments and, therefore, are not
allocated to cost of sales for products or services. Other
unallocated, net reduced cost of sales by $1.3 billion in
2022, compared to $1.8 billion in 2021. Other unallocated, net
during 2022 was lower primarily due to a decrease in our FAS/CAS
pension operating adjustment due to lower CAS cost from the
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) legislation, declines in
the fair value of investments and liabilities for deferred
compensation plans, and fluctuations in costs associated with
various corporate items, none of which were individually
significant. See “Business Segment Results of Operations” and
“Critical Accounting Policies - Postretirement Benefit Plans”
discussion below for more information on our pension
cost.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net primarily includes earnings generated
by equity method investees. Other income, net in 2022 was
$61 million, compared to $62 million in
2021.
Interest Expense
Interest expense in 2022 was $623 million, compared to
$569 million in 2021. The increase in interest expense in 2022
resulted primarily from the issuance of notes in October of 2022 to
fund share repurchases. See “Capital Structure, Resources and
Other” included within “Liquidity and Cash Flows” discussion below
and “Note 10 – Debt” included in our Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our
debt.
Non-Service FAS Pension (Expense) Income
Non-service FAS pension expense was $1.0 billion in 2022,
compared to $1.3 billion in 2021. Non-service FAS pension
expense in 2022 includes a noncash, non-operating pension
settlement charge of $1.5 billion ($1.2 billion, or $4.33 per
share, after-tax), related to the transfer of $4.3 billion of our
gross defined benefit pension obligations and related plan assets
to an insurance company in the second quarter of 2022. Non-service
FAS pension expense in 2021 includes a noncash, non-operating
pension settlement charge of $1.7 billion ($1.3 billion, or $4.72
per share, after-tax), related to the transfer of $4.9 billion of
our
gross defined benefit pension obligations and related plan assets
to an insurance company in the third quarter of 2021. See
“Note 11 – Postretirement Benefit Plans” included in
our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information.
Other Non-operating (Expense) Income, Net
Other non-operating (expense) income, net primarily includes gains
or losses related to changes in the fair value of mark-to-market
investments. See “Note 1 – Organization and
Significant Accounting Policies” included in our Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Other
non-operating expense, net in 2022 was $74 million, compared
to other non-operating income, net of $288 million in 2021.
The decrease in 2022 was primarily due to decreases in the fair
value of certain mark-to-market investments.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective income tax rate was 14.2% for 2022 and 16.4% for
2021. The rate for 2022 was lower than the rate for 2021 primarily
due to increased research and development tax credits. The rates
for both 2022 and 2021 benefited from tax deductions for foreign
derived intangible income, dividends paid to the company's defined
contribution plans with an employee stock ownership plan feature,
and employee equity awards.
Changes in U.S. (federal or state) or foreign tax laws and
regulations, or their interpretation and application (including
those with retroactive effect), such as the amortization for
research or experimental expenditures, could significantly impact
our provision for income taxes, the amount of taxes payable, our
deferred tax asset and liability balances, and stockholders’
equity. In addition to future changes in tax laws, the amount of
net deferred tax assets will change periodically based on several
factors, including the measurement of our postretirement benefit
plan obligations, actual cash contributions to our postretirement
benefit plans and the change in the amount or reevaluation of
uncertain tax positions.
Beginning in 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the
option to deduct research and development expenditures immediately
in the year incurred and requires taxpayers to amortize such
expenditures over five years for tax purposes. This provision
resulted in a cash tax liability for the 2022 tax year of
approximately $660 million. Our net deferred tax assets increased
in 2022 by approximately $660 million as a result as well. This
provision is expected to increase our 2023 cash tax liability by
approximately $575 million. The actual impact on 2023 cash tax
liability will depend on the amount of research and development
expenses paid or incurred in 2023 among other factors. While the
largest impact of this provision will be to 2022 cash tax
liability, the impact will continue over the five-year amortization
period, but will decrease over the period and be immaterial in year
six.
As of December 31, 2021, our liabilities associated with
uncertain tax positions were not material. As of December 31,
2022, our liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions
increased to $1.6 billion with a corresponding increase to net
deferred tax assets primarily as a result of the provision
described above from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. See
“Note 9 – Income Taxes” included in our Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information.
We are regularly under audit or examination by tax authorities,
including foreign tax authorities (including in, amongst others,
Australia, Canada, India, Italy, Japan, Poland, and the United
Kingdom). The final determination of tax audits and any related
litigation could similarly result in unanticipated increases in our
tax expense and affect profitability and cash flows.
On August 16, 2022, the President signed into law the Inflation
Reduction Act of 2022 which contained provisions effective January
1, 2023, including a 15% corporate minimum tax and a 1% excise tax
on stock buybacks, both of which we expect to be immaterial to our
financial results, financial position and cash flows.
Net Earnings
We reported net earnings of $5.7 billion ($21.66 per share) in
2022 and $6.3 billion ($22.76 per share) in 2021. Both
net earnings and earnings per share in 2022 were affected by the
factors mentioned above. Earnings per share also benefited from a
net decrease of approximately 12.8 million weighted average
common shares outstanding in 2022, compared to 2021. The reduction
in weighted average common shares was a result of share
repurchases, partially offset by share issuance under our
stock-based awards and certain defined contribution
plans.
Business Segment Results of Operations
We operate in four business segments: Aeronautics, MFC, RMS and
Space. We organize our business segments based on the nature of
products and services offered.
Net sales and operating profit of our business segments exclude
intersegment sales, cost of sales, and profit as these activities
are eliminated in consolidation and not included in management’s
evaluation of performance of each segment. Business segment
operating profit includes our share of earnings or losses from
equity method investees as the operating activities of the equity
method investees are closely aligned with the operations of our
business segments. United Launch Alliance (ULA), results of which
are included in our Space business segment, is our largest equity
method investee.
Business segment operating profit also excludes the FAS/CAS pension
operating adjustment described below, a portion of corporate costs
not considered allowable or allocable to contracts with the U.S.
Government under the applicable U.S. Government cost accounting
standards (CAS) or federal acquisition regulations (FAR), and other
items not considered part of management’s evaluation of segment
operating performance such as a portion of management and
administration costs, legal fees and settlements, environmental
costs, changes in the fair value of certain mark-to-market
investments, stock-based compensation expense, changes in the fair
value of investments and liabilities for deferred compensation
plans, retiree benefits, significant severance actions, significant
asset impairments, gains or losses from divestitures, and other
miscellaneous corporate activities.
Excluded items are included in the reconciling item “Unallocated
items” between operating profit from our business segments and our
consolidated operating profit. See “Note 1 – Organization
and Significant Accounting Policies” for a discussion related to
certain factors that may impact the comparability of net sales and
operating profit of our business segments.
Summary operating results for each of our business segments were as

discussion above for information on charges related to certain
severance and other actions across our organization.
(b)Other,
net in 2020 includes a noncash impairment charge of
$128 million recognized on our investment in the international
equity method investee, Advanced Military Maintenance, Repair and
Overhaul Center (AMMROC). (See “Note 1 – Organization and
Significant Accounting Policies” included in our Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for more
information).
Our business segments’ results of operations include pension
expense only as calculated under U.S. Government Cost Accounting
Standards (CAS), which we refer to as CAS pension cost. We recover
CAS pension and other postretirement benefit plan cost through the
pricing of our products and services on U.S. Government contracts
and, therefore, recognize CAS pension cost in each of our business
segment’s net sales and cost of sales. Our consolidated financial
statements must present pension and other postretirement benefit
plan (expense) income calculated in accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards (FAS) requirements under U.S. GAAP. The
operating portion of the total FAS/CAS pension adjustment
represents the difference between the service cost component of FAS
pension (expense) income and total CAS pension cost. The
non-service FAS pension (expense) income components are included in
non-service FAS pension (expense) income in our consolidated
statements of earnings. As a result, to the extent that CAS pension
cost exceeds the service cost component of FAS pension (expense)
income, we have a favorable FAS/CAS pension operating
adjustment.
The total FAS/CAS pension adjustments, including the service and
non-service cost components of FAS pension (expense) income for our
qualified defined benefit pension plans, were as follows (in
millions):

The total FAS/CAS pension adjustment in 2022 reflects a noncash,
non-operating pension settlement charge of $1.5 billion
($1.2 billion, or $4.33 per share, after-tax) recognized in
connection with the transfer of $4.3 billion of our gross
defined benefit pension obligations and related plan assets to an
insurance company in the second quarter of 2022. The total FAS/CAS
pension adjustment in 2021 reflects a noncash, non-operating
pension settlement charge of $1.7 billion ($1.3 billion,
or $4.72 per share, after-tax) recognized in connection with the
transfer of $4.9 billion of our gross defined benefit pension
obligations and related plan assets to an insurance company in the
third quarter of 2021. See “Note 11 – Postretirement
Benefit Plans” included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
The following segment discussions also include information relating
to backlog for each segment. Backlog was approximately
$150.0 billion and $135.4 billion at December 31,
2022 and 2021. These amounts included both funded backlog (firm
orders for which funding has been both authorized and appropriated
by the customer) and unfunded backlog (firm orders for which
funding has not yet been appropriated). Backlog does not include
unexercised options or task orders to be issued under
indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts. Funded backlog
was approximately $95.5 billion at December 31, 2022, as
compared to $88.5 billion at December 31, 2021. If any of
our contracts with firm orders were to be terminated, our backlog
would be reduced by the expected value of the unfilled orders of
such contracts.
Management evaluates performance on our contracts by focusing on
net sales and operating profit and not by type or amount of
operating expense. Consequently, our discussion of business
segment performance focuses on net sales and operating profit,
consistent with our approach for managing the business. This
approach is consistent throughout the life cycle of our contracts,
as management assesses the bidding of each contract by focusing on
net sales and operating profit and monitors performance on our
contracts in a similar manner through their
completion.
We regularly provide customers with reports of our costs as the
contract progresses. The cost information in the reports is
accumulated in a manner specified by the requirements of each
contract. For example, cost data provided to a customer for a
product would typically align to the subcomponents of that product
(such as a wing-box on an aircraft) and for services would align to
the type of work being performed (such as aircraft
sustainment). Our contracts generally allow for the recovery
of costs in the pricing of our products and services. Most of
our contracts are bid and negotiated with our customers under
circumstances in which we are required to disclose our estimated
total costs to provide the product or service. This approach
for negotiating contracts with our U.S. Government customers
generally allows for recovery of our actual costs plus a reasonable
profit margin. We also may enter into long-term supply
contracts for certain materials or components to coincide with the
production schedule of certain products and to ensure their
availability at known unit prices.
Many of our contracts span several years and include highly complex
technical requirements. At the outset of a contract, we
identify and monitor risks to the achievement of the technical,
schedule and cost aspects of the contract and assess the effects of
those risks on our estimates of total costs to complete the
contract. The estimates consider the technical requirements
(e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product), the
schedule and associated tasks (e.g., the number and type of
milestone events) and costs (e.g., material, labor, subcontractor,
overhead and the estimated costs to fulfill our industrial
cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset agreements,
required under certain contracts with international
customers). The initial profit booking rate of each contract
considers risks surrounding the ability to achieve the technical
requirements, schedule and costs in the initial estimated total
costs to complete the contract and variable
considerations. Profit booking rates may increase during the
performance of the contract if we successfully retire risks related
to the technical,
schedule and cost aspects of the contract, which decreases the
estimated total costs to complete the contract. Conversely,
our profit booking rates may decrease if the estimated total costs
to complete the contract increase. All of the estimates are
subject to change during the performance of the contract and may
affect the profit booking rate.
For further discussion on fixed-price contracts, see
“Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting
Policies” included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
We have a number of programs that are designated as classified by
the U.S. Government which cannot be specifically described. The
operating results of these classified programs are included in our
consolidated and business segment results and are subjected to the
same oversight and internal controls as our other
programs.
Our net sales are primarily derived from long-term contracts for
products and services provided to the U.S. Government as well as
FMS contracted through the U.S. Government. We recognize revenue as
performance obligations are satisfied and the customer obtains
control of the products and services. For performance obligations
to deliver products with continuous transfer of control to the
customer, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress
towards completion of the performance obligation, generally using
the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost measure of progress for
our contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to
the customer as we incur costs on our contracts. For performance
obligations in which control does not continuously transfer to the
customer, we recognize revenue at the point in time in which each
performance obligation is fully satisfied.
Changes in net sales and operating profit generally are expressed
in terms of volume. Changes in volume refer to increases or
decreases in sales or operating profit resulting from varying
production activity levels, deliveries or service levels on
individual contracts. Volume changes in segment operating
profit are typically based on the current profit booking rate for a
particular contract.
In addition, comparability of our segment sales, operating profit
and operating margin may be impacted favorably or unfavorably by
changes in profit booking rates on our contracts for which we
recognize revenue over time using the percentage-of-completion
cost-to-cost method to measure progress towards completion.
Increases in the profit booking rates, typically referred to as
favorable profit adjustments, usually relate to revisions in the
estimated total costs to fulfill the performance obligations that
reflect improved conditions on a particular contract. Conversely,
conditions on a particular contract may deteriorate, resulting in
an increase in the estimated total costs to fulfill the performance
obligations and a reduction in the profit booking rate and are
typically referred to as unfavorable profit adjustments. Increases
or decreases in profit booking rates are recognized in the current
period they are determined and reflect the inception-to-date effect
of such changes. Segment operating profit and margin may also be
impacted favorably or unfavorably by other items, which may or may
not impact sales. Favorable items may include the positive
resolution of contractual matters, cost recoveries on severance and
restructuring, insurance recoveries and gains on sales of assets.
Unfavorable items may include the adverse resolution of contractual
matters; COVID-19 impacts or supply chain disruptions;
restructuring charges (except for significant severance actions,
which are excluded from segment operating results); reserves for
disputes; certain asset impairments; and losses on sales of certain
assets.
Our consolidated net profit booking rate adjustments increased
segment operating profit by approximately $1.8 billion in 2022
and $2.0 billion in 2021. The consolidated net profit booking rate
adjustments in 2022 compared to 2021 decreased primarily due to
decreases in profit booking rate adjustments at Space, RMS and MFC
offset by an increase in Aeronautics. The consolidated net
adjustments for 2022 and 2021 are inclusive of approximately
$780 million and $900 million in unfavorable items, which
include reserves for a classified program at Aeronautics, various
programs at RMS and a ground solutions program at
Space.
We periodically experience performance issues and record losses for
certain programs. For further discussion on programs at Aeronautics
and RMS, see “Note 1 – Organization and Significant
Accounting Policies” included in our Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for more information.
We have contracted with the Canadian Government for the Canadian
Maritime Helicopter Program at our RMS business segment that
provide for design, development, and production of CH-148 aircraft
(the Original Equipment contract), which is a military variant of
the S-92 helicopter, and for logistical support to the fleet (the
In Service Support contract) over an extended time period. The
program has experienced performance issues, including delays in the
final aircraft deliveries from the original contract requirement,
and to date the Royal Canadian Air Force’s flight hours have been
less than originally anticipated, which has impacted program
revenues and the recovery of our costs under this program. Future
sales and recovery of existing and future costs under the program
are highly dependent upon achieving a certain number of flight
hours, which could be adversely impacted by aircraft availability
and performance, and the availability of Canadian government
resources. We are currently in discussions with the Canadian
Government to potentially restructure certain contractual terms and
conditions that may be beneficial to both parties. Future
performance issues or changes in our estimates due to revised
contract scope or customer requirements may affect our ability to
recover our costs and may result in a loss that could be material
to our operating results.
We also have a number of contracts with Türkish industry for the
Türkish Utility Helicopter Program (TUHP), which anticipates
co-production with Türkish industry for production of T70
helicopters for use in Türkiye, as well as the related provision of
Türkish goods and services under buy-back or offset obligations, to
include the future sales of helicopters built in Türkiye for sale
globally. The U.S. Government has imposed certain sanctions on
Türkish entities and persons that has affected our ability to
perform under contracts supporting the Türkish Utility Helicopter
Program. As a result of the sanctions, we have provided force
majeure notices under the affected contracts and these contracts
may be restructured or terminated, either in whole or in part,
which could result in a further reduction in sales, the imposition
of penalties or assessment of damages, and increased unrecoverable
costs, which could have an adverse effect on our financial
results.
Aeronautics
Our Aeronautics business segment is engaged in the research,
design, development, manufacture, integration, sustainment, support
and upgrade of advanced military aircraft, including combat and air

Aeronautics’ net sales in 2022 increased $239 million, or 1%,
compared to 2021. Net sales increased by approximately $375 million
on classified contracts primarily due to higher volume; about $80
million for the F-22 program due to higher net favorable profit
adjustments; and approximately $55 million for the F-16 program due
to higher volume on production contracts that was partially offset
by lower volume on sustainment contracts and unfavorable profit
adjustments on a production contract and modernization contracts.
These increases were partially offset by a decrease of about $310
million for the F-35 program due to lower volume and favorable
profit adjustments on sustainment and production contracts that
were partially offset by higher volume on development
contracts.
Aeronautics’ operating profit in 2022 increased $67 million,
or 2%, compared to 2021. Operating profit increased approximately
$145 million on classified contracts primarily due to lower
unfavorable profit adjustments on a classified program ($45 million
in 2022 compared to $225 million in 2021) that were partially
offset by lower favorable profit adjustments; and about $100
million for the F-22 program due to higher net favorable profit
adjustments. These increases were partially offset by lower
operating profit of approximately $110 million for the F-16 program
due to unfavorable profit adjustments in 2022 on a production
contract and modernization contracts; and about $80 million for the
F-35 program due to lower net favorable profit adjustments on
production and sustainment contracts and volume on sustainment
contracts. Net favorable profit booking rate adjustments were $30
million higher in 2022 compared to 2021.
Backlog
Backlog increased in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to the
delay of F-35 Lot 15 award from 2021 to 2022 and the award of the
F-35 Lot 16 contract in December 2022.
Missiles and Fire Control
Our MFC business segment provides air and missile defense systems;
tactical missiles and air-to-ground precision strike weapon
systems; logistics; fire control systems; mission operations

MFC’s net sales in 2022 decreased $376 million, or 3%,
compared to 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower
net sales of approximately $280 million for sensors and global
sustainment programs due to lower volume on SOF GLSS as a result of
changes in mission requirements and lower volume on
SNIPER®;
and about $60 million for integrated air and missile defense
programs due to lower volume (THAAD) and lower net favorable profit
adjustments (PAC-3) that were partially offset by higher volume
(PAC-3). Net sales for tactical and strike missile programs were
comparable as higher volume (PrSM) was offset by lower volume (air
dominance weapon systems).
MFC’s operating profit in 2022 decreased $13 million, or 1%,
compared to 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower
operating profit of approximately $85 million for integrated air
and missile defense programs due to lower net favorable profit
adjustments for the PAC-3 program and an unfavorable profit
adjustment of about $40 million on an air and missile defense
development program. This decrease was partially offset by an
increase of about $50 million for tactical and strike missile
programs due to contract mix and higher net favorable profit
adjustments (an international tactical and strike missile program
and HIMARS) that were partially offset by an unfavorable profit
adjustment of about $25 million on an air-to-ground missile
program. There also were unfavorable profit adjustments of
approximately $25 million on an energy program in 2021 that did not
recur in 2022. Operating profit for sensors and global sustainment
programs was comparable as both contract mix and the net effect of
favorable profit adjustments on an international program in 2022
were offset by the closeout activities related to the Warrior
program in 2021 that did not recur in 2022. Net favorable profit
booking rate adjustments were $45 million lower in 2022 compared to
2021.
Backlog
Backlog increased in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to higher
orders on precision fires (GMLRS) and THAAD programs.
Rotary and Mission Systems
RMS designs, manufactures, services and supports various military
and commercial helicopters, surface ships, sea and land-based
missile defense systems, radar systems, sea and air-based mission
and combat systems, command and control mission solutions, cyber
solutions, and simulation and training solutions. RMS’ major
programs include Aegis Combat System, Littoral Combat Ship (LCS),
Multi-Mission Surface Combatant (MMSC), Black Hawk and Seahawk
helicopters, CH-53K King Stallion heavy lift helicopter, Combat
Rescue Helicopter (CRH), VH-92A helicopter, and the C2BMC
program.
On December 5, 2022, the U.S. Army selected Sikorsky’s competitor
in the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft Competition, a component
of its Future Vertical Lift initiative to replace a portion of its
assault and utility helicopter fleet. On December 28, 2022,
Sikorsky, on behalf of Team DEFIANT, filed a protest challenging
the U.S. Army’s decision, and a ruling is expected on or before
April 7, 2023 based on the 100-day deadline. Sikorsky remains one
of two competitors for the other component of the Future Vertical
Lift initiative, the Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft
competition.

RMS’ net sales in 2022 decreased $641 million, or 4%, compared
to 2021.
The decrease was primarily attributable to lower net sales of
approximately $280 million for TLS programs primarily due to the
delivery of an international pilot training system in the first
quarter of 2021 that did not recur in 2022; about $205 million for
various C6ISR programs due to lower volume; and approximately $170
million for Sikorsky helicopter programs due to lower production
volume (Black Hawk) that was partially offset by higher production
volume (CH-53K).
RMS’ operating profit in 2022 decreased $125 million, or 7%,
compared to 2021.
The decrease was primarily attributable to approximately $70
million for Sikorsky helicopter programs due to lower production
volume and net favorable profit adjustments (Black Hawk) that were
partially offset by higher net favorable profit adjustments (CRH);
about $50 million for various C6ISR programs due to lower net
favorable profit adjustments; and approximately $15 million for
integrated
warfare systems and sensors (IWSS)
programs due to lower net favorable profit adjustments (TPQ-53 and
Aegis) that were partially offset by $30 million of unfavorable
profit adjustments on a ground-based radar program in 2021 that did
not recur in 2022. These decreases were partially offset by an
increase of approximately $35 million for TLS programs due to
higher net favorable profit adjustments that were partially offset
by lower volume due to the delivery of an international pilot
training system in the first quarter of 2021 that did not recur in
2022. Net favorable profit booking rate adjustments were $65
million lower in 2022 compared to 2021.
Backlog
Backlog increased in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to higher
orders on Sikorsky programs.
Space
Our Space business segment is engaged in the research and design,
development, engineering and production of satellites, space
transportation systems, and strategic, advanced strike and
defensive systems. Space provides network-enabled situational
awareness and integrates complex space and ground global systems to

Space’s net sales in 2022 decreased $282 million, or 2%,
compared to 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower
net sales of approximately $885 million due to the
renationalization of the AWE program on June 30, 2021, which was no
longer included in our financial results beginning in the third
quarter of 2021; and about $125 million for commercial civil space
programs due to lower volume (Orion). These decreases were
partially offset by higher net sales of about $495 million for
strategic and missile defense programs due to higher development
volume (NGI); and about $245 million for national security space
programs due to higher development volume (classified
programs).
Space’s operating profit in 2022 decreased $89 million, or 8%,
compared to 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to
approximately $85 million for national security space programs
primarily due to lower net favorable profit adjustments (classified
programs and SBIRS) that were partially offset by lower net
unfavorable profit adjustments of $25 million on a
ground solutions program; and about $40 million for commercial
civil space programs due to lower net favorable profit adjustments
(Human Lander System (HLS)) and lower volume (Orion). These
decreases were partially offset by higher equity earnings of
approximately $35 million from the company's investment in ULA due
to higher launch volume and launch mix; and about $20 million for
strategic and missile defense programs due to higher net favorable
profit adjustments (primarily NGI). Operating profit for the AWE
program was comparable as its operating profit in 2021 was mostly
offset by accelerated amortization expense for intangible assets as
a result of the renationalization. Net favorable profit booking
rate adjustments were $150 million lower in 2022 compared to
2021.
Equity earnings
Total equity earnings (primarily ULA) represented approximately
$100 million and $65 million, or 10% and 6%, of Space’s
operating profit during 2022 and 2021.
Backlog
Backlog increased in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to the
exercise of the Orion Production Contract option for Artemis
VI-VIII in commercial civil space and contract awards in national
security space (Southern Positioning Augmentation Network
(SouthPan) and classified).
Liquidity and Cash Flows
As of December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of
$2.5 billion. Our principal source of liquidity is our cash
from operations. However, we also have access to credit markets, if
needed, for liquidity or general corporate purposes, including
share repurchases. This access includes our $3.0 billion revolving
credit facility or the ability to issue commercial paper, and
letters of credit to support customer advance payments and for
other trade finance purposes such as guaranteeing our performance
on particular contracts. We believe our cash and cash equivalents,
our expected cash flow generated from operations and our access to
credit markets will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements and
cash deployment plans over the next twelve months and beyond based
on our current business plans.
Cash received from customers, either from the payment of invoices
for work performed or for advances from non-U.S. government
customers in excess of costs incurred, is our primary source of
cash from operations. We generally do not begin work on contracts
until funding is appropriated by the customer. However, from time
to time, we fund customer programs ourselves pending government
appropriations. If we incur costs in excess of funds obligated on
the contract or in advance of a contract award, this negatively
affects our cash flows and we may be at risk for reimbursement of
the excess costs.
Billing timetables and payment terms on our contracts vary based on
a number of factors, including the contract type. We generally bill
and collect cash more frequently under cost-reimbursable contracts,
which represented approximately 38% of the sales we recorded in
2022, as we are authorized to bill as the costs are incurred. A
number of our fixed-price contracts may provide for
performance-based payments, which allow us to bill and collect cash
as we perform on the contract. The amount of performance-based
payments and the related milestones are encompassed in the
negotiation of each contract. The timing of such payments may
differ from the timing of the costs incurred related to our
contract performance, thereby affecting our cash
flows.
The U.S. Government has indicated that it would consider progress
payments as the baseline for negotiating payment terms on
fixed-price contracts, rather than performance-based payments. In
contrast to negotiated performance-based payment terms, progress
payment provisions correspond to a percentage of the amount of
costs incurred during the performance of the contract and are
invoiced regularly as costs are incurred. Our cash flows may be
affected if the U.S. Government changes its payment policies or
decides to withhold payments on our billings. While the impact of
policy changes or withholding payments may delay the receipt of
cash, the cumulative amount of cash collected during the life of
the contract should not vary.
To date, the effects of COVID-19 have resulted in some negative
impacts on our cash flows, partially due to supplier disruptions
and delays. The U.S. Government has taken certain actions and
enacted legislation to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on public
health, the economy, state and local governments, individuals, and
businesses. Since the pandemic began, Lockheed Martin has remained
committed to accelerating payments to the supply chain with a focus
on small and at risk businesses. As of December 31, 2022, we
have accelerated $1.5 billion of payments to our suppliers
that are due by their terms in future periods. We will continue to
monitor supply chain risks, especially at small and at-risk related
suppliers, and may continue to utilize accelerated payments in 2023
on an as needed basis.
In addition, we have a balanced cash deployment strategy to invest
in our business and key technologies to provide our customers with
enhanced capabilities, enhance stockholder value, and position
ourselves to take advantage of new business
opportunities when they arise. Consistent with that strategy, we
have continued to invest in our business and technologies through
capital expenditures, independent research and development, and
selective business acquisitions and investments.
We have returned cash to stockholders through dividends and share
repurchases. On October 17, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized
an additional $14.0 billion to the program. During the fourth
quarter of 2022, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase
(ASR) agreement to repurchase $4.0 billion of our common stock and
issued $4.0 billion of senior unsecured notes. As of
December 31, 2022, the total remaining authorization for
future common share repurchases under our program was
$10.0 billion, which is expected to be utilized over a
three-year period. We expect to fund the repurchases through a
combination of cash from operations and the issuance of additional
debt. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date
and may be amended or terminated by the Board of Directors at any
time. The amount of shares ultimately purchased and the timing of
purchases are at the discretion of management and subject to
compliance with applicable law and regulation.
We continue to actively manage our debt levels, including
maturities and interest rates, as evidenced by the debt transaction
in the second quarter of 2022, the proceeds of which were used to
refinance certain upcoming debt maturities between 2023 and 2026.
We also actively manage our pension obligations and expect to
continue to opportunistically manage our pension liabilities
through the purchase of group annuity contracts for portions of our
outstanding defined benefit pension obligations using assets from
the pension trust as we did in the second quarter of 2022. See
“Note 11 – Postretirement Benefit Plans” included in our
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information. Future pension risk transfer transactions could also
be significant and result in us making additional contributions to
the pension trust.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $1.4 billion in
2022 compared to 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to
lower cash at Aeronautics, MFC and RMS. The decrease at Aeronautics
was primarily due to timing of production and billing cycles
impacting contract assets (primarily F-35). The decrease at MFC was
primarily due to timing of accounts receivables collections. The
decrease at RMS was primarily due to liquidation of inventories
(primarily TLS and Sikorsky helicopter programs) in 2021 that did
not recur in 2022. As of December 31, 2022, we accelerated $1.5
billion of payments to suppliers that were due in the first quarter
of 2023, compared to $2.2 billion of payments to suppliers as of
December 31, 2021 that were due in the first quarter of 2022. Our
federal and foreign income tax payments, net of refunds, were $1.6
billion in 2022, compared to $1.4 billion in 2021.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure - Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as
cash from operations less capital expenditures. Our capital
expenditures are comprised of equipment and facilities
infrastructure and information technology (inclusive of costs for
the development or purchase of internal-use software that are
capitalized). We use free cash flow to evaluate our business
performance and overall liquidity, as well as a performance goal in
our annual and long-term incentive plans. We believe free cash flow
is a useful measure for investors because it represents the amount
of cash generated from operations after reinvesting in the business
and that may be available to return to stockholders and creditors
(through dividends, stock repurchases and debt repayments) or
available to fund acquisitions and other investments. The entire
amount of free cash flow is not necessarily available for
discretionary expenditures, however, because it does not account
for certain mandatory expenditures, such as the
repayment of maturing debt and pension contributions. While
management believes that free cash flow as a non-GAAP financial
measure may be useful in evaluating our financial performance, it
should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for,
financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not
be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
companies.

Investing Activities
Cash flows related to investing activities primarily include
capital expenditures and payments for acquisitions and divestitures
of businesses and investments. The majority of our capital
expenditures are for equipment and facilities infrastructure that
generally are incurred to support new and existing programs across
all of our business segments. We also incur capital expenditures
for information technology to support programs and general
enterprise information technology infrastructure, inclusive of
costs for the development or purchase of internal-use
software.
Net cash used for investing activities increased $628 million in
2022 compared to 2021. The increase in cash used for investing
activities is due to an increase in capital expenditures and the
receipt of $307 million in 2021 from the sale of our ownership
interest in the Advanced Military Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul
Center (AMMROC) joint venture. Capital expenditures totaled $1.7
billion and $1.5 billion in 2022 and 2021.
Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities decreased $546 million in
2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to repayment of
$500 million of long-term notes in 2021.
We paid dividends totaling $3.0 billion ($11.40 per share) in 2022
and $2.9 billion ($10.60 per share) in 2021. We paid quarterly
dividends of $2.80 per share during each of the first three
quarters of 2022 and $3.00 per share during the fourth quarter of
2022. We paid quarterly dividends of $2.60 per share during each of
the first three quarters of 2021 and $2.80 per share during the
fourth quarter of 2021.
During 2022, we paid $7.9 billion to repurchase
18.3 million shares of our common stock. See
“Note 12 – Stockholders’ Equity” included in our Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
During 2021, we paid $4.1 billion to repurchase
11.7 million shares of our common stock.
In October 2022, we received net proceeds of $3.9 billion from
issuance of senior unsecured notes and used the net proceeds from
the offering to enter into an ASR agreement
to repurchase $4.0 billion of our common stock.
See “Note 10 – Debt” included in our Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information.
In May 2022,
we received net proceeds of $2.3 billion from issuance of
senior unsecured notes and used the net proceeds from the offering
to redeem all of the outstanding $500 million Notes due 2023,
$750 million Notes due 2025 and used the remaining balance of
the net proceeds to redeem $1.0 billion of our outstanding
$2.0 billion Notes due 2026.
In September 2021, we repaid $500 million of long-term notes
with a fixed interest rate of 3.35% according to their scheduled
maturities.
Capital Structure, Resources and Other
At December 31, 2022, we held cash and cash equivalents of
$2.5 billion that were generally available to fund ordinary
business operations without significant legal, regulatory, or other
restrictions.
Our outstanding debt, net of unamortized discounts and issuance
costs, was $15.5 billion as of December 31, 2022 and is
in the form of publicly-issued notes that bear interest at fixed
rates. As of December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all
covenants contained in our debt and credit agreements.
See “Note 10 –
Debt”
included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more
information on our long-term debt and revolving credit
facilities.
We actively seek to finance our business in a manner that preserves
financial flexibility while minimizing borrowing costs to the
extent practicable. We review changes in financial market and
economic conditions to manage the types, amounts and maturities of
our indebtedness. We may at times refinance existing indebtedness,
vary our mix of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt or seek
alternative financing sources for our cash and operational
needs.
Long-Term Debt
On October 24, 2022, we issued a total of $4.0 billion of senior
unsecured notes, consisting of $500 million aggregate principal
amount of 4.95% Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), $750 million
aggregate principal amount of 5.10% Notes due 2027 (the “2027
Notes”), $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Notes due
2033 (the “2033 Notes”), $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of
5.70% Notes due 2054 (the “2054 Notes”) and $750 million aggregate
principal amount of 5.90% Notes due 2063 (the “2063 Notes” and,
together with the 2025 Notes, the 2027 Notes, the 2033 Notes and
the 2054 Notes, the “October 2022 Notes”). We will pay interest on
the 2025 Notes semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15
of each year, beginning on April 15, 2023. We will pay interest on
the 2033 Notes semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15
of each year, beginning on January 15, 2023. We will pay interest
on each of 2027 Notes, 2054 Notes and 2063 Notes semi-annually in
arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May
15, 2023. We may, at our option, redeem the October 2022 Notes of
any series, in whole or in part, at any time at the redemption
prices equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the
Notes to be redeemed or an applicable “make-whole” amount, plus
accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
On May 5, 2022, we issued a total of
$2.3 billion
of senior unsecured notes, consisting of
$800 million
aggregate principal amount of
3.90%
Notes due June 15, 2032 (the “2032 Notes”),
$850 million
aggregate principal amount of
4.15%
Notes due June 15, 2053 (the “2053 Notes”) and
$650 million
aggregate principal amount of
4.30%
Notes due June 15, 2062 (the “2062 Notes” and, together with the
2032 Notes and 2053 Notes, the “May 2022 Notes”) in a registered
public offering. Net proceeds received from the offering were,
after deducting pricing discounts and debt issuance costs, which
are being amortized and recorded as interest expense over the term
of the May 2022 Notes. We will pay interest on the May 2022 Notes
semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year
with the first payment made on June 15, 2022. We may, at our
option, redeem the May 2022 Notes of any series, in whole or in
part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price
equal to the greater of
100%
of the principal amount of the May 2022 Notes to be redeemed or an
applicable make-whole amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to
the date of redemption.
On May 11, 2022, we used the net proceeds from the May 2022 Notes
to redeem all of the outstanding
$500 million
in aggregate principal amount of our
3.10%
Notes due 2023,
$750 million
in aggregate principal amount of our
2.90%
Notes due 2025, and
$1.0 billion
of our outstanding
$2.0 billion
in aggregate principal amount of our
3.55%
Notes due 2026 at their redemption price. We paid make-whole
premiums of $13.9 million in connection with the early
extinguishments of debt. We incurred losses of $34 million
($26 million, or $0.10 per share, after tax) on these
transactions related to early extinguishments of debt, additional
interest expense and other related charges, which was recorded in
other non-operating (expense) income, net in our consolidated
statements of earnings.
Contractual Commitments
At December 31, 2022, we had contractual commitments to repay
debt, make payments under operating leases, settle obligations
related to agreements to purchase goods and services and settle tax
and other liabilities. Financing lease obligations were not
material. Payments due under these obligations and commitments are
as follows (in millions):

The table above includes debt presented gross of any unamortized
discounts and issuance costs, but excludes the net unfunded
obligation and estimated minimum funding requirements related to
our qualified defined benefit pension plans. For additional
information about obligations and our future minimum contribution
requirements for these plans, see “Note 11 –
Postretirement Benefit Plans” included in our Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements. Amounts related to other liabilities
represent the contractual obligations for certain long-term
liabilities recorded as of December 31, 2022. Such amounts
mainly include expected payments under non-qualified pension plans,
environmental liabilities and deferred compensation
plans.
Purchase obligations related to operating activities include
agreements and contracts that give the supplier recourse to us for
cancellation or nonperformance under the contract or contain terms
that would subject us to liquidated damages. Such agreements and
contracts may, for example, be related to direct materials,
obligations to subcontractors and outsourcing arrangements. Total
purchase obligations for operating activities in the preceding
table include approximately $53.7 billion related to contractual
commitments entered into as a result of contracts we have with our
U.S. Government customers. The U.S. Government generally would be
required to pay us for any costs we incur relative to these
commitments if they were to terminate the related contracts “for
convenience” under the FAR, subject to available funding. This also
would be true in cases where we perform subcontract work for a
prime contractor under a U.S. Government contract. The termination
for convenience language also may be included in contracts with
foreign, state and local governments. We also have contracts with
customers that do not include termination for convenience
provisions, including contracts with commercial
customers.
The majority of our capital expenditures for 2022 and those planned
for 2023 are for equipment, facilities infrastructure and
information technology. The amounts above in the table represent
the portion of expected capital expenditures to be incurred in 2023
and beyond that have been obligated under contracts as of
December 31, 2022 and not necessarily total capital
expenditures for future periods. Expenditures for equipment and
facilities infrastructure are generally incurred to support new and
existing programs across all of our business segments. For example,
we have projects underway at Aeronautics to support classified
development programs and at RMS to support our Sikorsky helicopter
programs; and we have projects underway to modernize certain of our
facilities. We also incur capital expenditures for information
technology to support programs and general enterprise information
technology infrastructure, inclusive of costs for the development
or purchase of internal-use software.
We also may enter into industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes
referred to as offset agreements, as a condition to obtaining
orders for our products and services from certain customers in
foreign countries. These agreements are designed to enhance the
social and economic environment of the foreign country by requiring
the contractor to promote investment in the country. Offset
agreements may be satisfied through activities that do not require
us to use cash, including transferring technology, providing
manufacturing and other consulting support to in-country projects
and the purchase by third parties (e.g.,
our vendors) of supplies from in-country vendors. These agreements
also may be satisfied through our use of cash for such activities
as purchasing supplies from in-country vendors, providing financial
support for in-country projects, establishment of joint ventures
with local companies and building or leasing facilities for
in-country operations. We typically do not commit to offset
agreements until orders for our products or services are
definitive. The amounts ultimately applied against our offset
agreements are based on negotiations with the customer and
typically require cash outlays that represent only a fraction of
the original amount in the offset agreement. Satisfaction of our
offset obligations are included in the estimates of our total costs
to complete the contract and may impact our sales, profitability
and cash flows. Our ability to recover investments on our
consolidated balance sheet that we make to satisfy offset
obligations is generally dependent upon the successful operation
of
ventures that we do not control and may involve products and
services that are dissimilar to our business activities. At
December 31, 2022, the notional value of remaining obligations
under our outstanding offset agreements totaled approximately $16.1
billion, which primarily relate to our Aeronautics, MFC and RMS
business segments, most of which extend through 2044. To the extent
we have entered into purchase or other obligations at
December 31, 2022 that also satisfy offset agreements, those
amounts are included in the contractual commitments table above.
Offset programs usually extend over several years and may provide
for penalties, estimated at approximately $1.8 billion at
December 31, 2022, in the event we fail to perform in
accordance with offset requirements. While historically we have not
been required to pay material penalties, resolution of offset
requirements are often the result of negotiations and subjective
judgments.
We have entered into standby letters of credit and surety bonds
issued on our behalf by financial institutions, and we have
directly issued guarantees to third parties primarily relating to
advances received from customers and the guarantee of future
performance on certain contracts. Letters of credit and surety
bonds generally are available for draw down in the event we do not
perform. In some cases, we may guarantee the contractual
performance of third parties such as joint venture partners. At
December 31, 2022, we had the following outstanding letters of
credit, surety bonds and third-party guarantees (in
millions):

(a)Approximately
$704 million of standby letters of credit in the “Less Than 1 Year”
category are expected to renew for additional periods until
completion of the contractual obligation.
At December 31, 2022, third-party guarantees totaled $904
million, of which approximately 71% related to guarantees of
contractual performance of joint ventures to which we currently are
or previously were a party. These amounts represent our
estimate of the maximum amounts we would expect to incur upon the
contractual non-performance of the joint venture, joint venture
partners or divested businesses. Generally, we also have
cross-indemnities in place that may enable us to recover amounts
that may be paid on behalf of a joint venture partner.
In determining our exposures, we evaluate the reputation,
performance on contractual obligations, technical capabilities and
credit quality of our current and former joint venture partners and
the transferee under novation agreements, all of which include a
guarantee as required by the FAR. At December 31, 2022 and
2021, there were no material amounts recorded in our financial
statements related to third-party guarantees or novation
agreements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Contract Accounting / Sales Recognition
The majority of our net sales are generated from long-term
contracts with the U.S. Government and international customers
(including FMS contracted through the U.S. Government) for the
research, design, development, manufacture, integration and
sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services.
We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from
both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment
terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and
collectability of consideration is probable. For certain contracts
that meet the foregoing requirements, primarily international
direct commercial sale contracts, we are required to obtain certain
regulatory approvals. In these cases, we recognize revenue when it
is probable that we will receive regulatory approvals based upon
all known facts and circumstances. We provide our products and
services under fixed-price and cost-reimbursable
contracts.
Under fixed-price contracts, we agree to perform the specified work
for a pre-determined price. To the extent our actual costs vary
from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, we will
generate more or less profit or could incur a loss. Some
fixed-price contracts have a performance-based component under
which we may earn incentive payments or incur financial penalties
based on our performance.
Cost-reimbursable contracts provide for the payment of allowable
costs incurred during performance of the contract plus a fee up to
a ceiling based on the amount that has been funded. Typically, we
enter into three types of cost-reimbursable contracts:
cost-plus-award-fee, cost-plus-incentive-fee, and
cost-plus-fixed-fee. Cost-plus-award-fee contracts provide for an
award fee that varies within specified limits based on the
customer’s assessment of our performance against a predetermined
set of criteria, such as targets based on cost, quality, technical
and schedule criteria. Cost-plus-incentive-fee contracts provide
for reimbursement of costs plus a fee, which is adjusted by a
formula based on the relationship of total allowable costs to total
target costs (i.e., incentive based on cost) or reimbursement of
costs plus an incentive to exceed stated performance targets
(i.e.,
incentive based on performance). Cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts
provide a fixed fee that is negotiated at the inception of the
contract and does not vary with actual costs.
We assess each contract at its inception to determine whether it
should be combined with other contracts. When making this
determination, we consider factors such as whether two or more
contracts were negotiated and executed at or near the same time or
were negotiated with an overall profit objective. If combined, we
treat the combined contracts as a single contract for revenue
recognition purposes.
We evaluate the products or services promised in each contract at
inception to determine whether the contract should be accounted for
as having one or more performance obligations. The products and
services in our contracts are typically not distinct from one
another due to their complex relationships and the significant
contract management functions required to perform under the
contract. Accordingly, our contracts are typically accounted for as
one performance obligation. In limited cases, our contracts have
more than one distinct performance obligation, which occurs when we
perform activities that are not highly complex or interrelated or
involve different product lifecycles. Significant judgment is
required in determining performance obligations, and these
decisions could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in
a given period. We classify net sales as products or services on
our consolidated statements of earnings based on the predominant
attributes of the performance obligations.
We determine the transaction price for each contract based on the
consideration we expect to receive for the products or services
being provided under the contract. For contracts where a portion of
the price may vary (e.g. awards, incentive fees and claims), we
estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount, which is
included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that
a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not
occur. We analyze the risk of a significant revenue reversal and if
necessary constrain the amount of variable consideration recognized
in order to mitigate this risk.
At the inception of a contract we estimate the transaction price
based on our current rights and do not contemplate future
modifications (including unexercised options) or follow-on
contracts until they become legally enforceable. Contracts are
often subsequently modified to include changes in specifications,
requirements or price, which may create new or change existing
enforceable rights and obligations. Depending on the nature of the
modification, we consider whether to account for the modification
as an adjustment to the existing contract or as a separate
contract. Generally, modifications to our contracts are not
distinct from the existing contract due to the significant
integration and interrelated tasks provided in the context of the
contract. Therefore, such modifications are accounted for as if
they were part of the existing contract and recognized as a
cumulative adjustment to revenue.
For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate
the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the
estimated standalone selling price of the product or service
underlying each performance obligation. The standalone selling
price represents the amount we would sell the product or service to
a customer on a standalone basis (i.e., not bundled with any other
products or services). Our contracts with the U.S. Government,
including FMS contracts, are subject to FAR and the price is
typically based on estimated or actual costs plus a reasonable
profit margin. As a result of these regulations, the standalone
selling price of products or services in our contracts with the
U.S. Government and FMS contracts are typically equal to the
selling price stated in the contract.
For non-U.S. Government contracts with multiple performance
obligations, we evaluate whether the stated selling prices for the
products or services represent their standalone selling prices. We
primarily sell customized solutions unique to a customer’s
specifications. When it is necessary to allocate the transaction
price to multiple performance obligations, we typically use the
expected cost plus a reasonable profit margin to estimate the
standalone selling price of each product or service. We
occasionally sell standard products or services with observable
standalone sales transactions. In these situations, the observable
standalone sales transactions are used to determine the standalone
selling price.
We recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied and
the customer obtains control of the products and services. In
determining when performance obligations are satisfied, we consider
factors such as contract terms, payment terms and whether there is
an alternative future use of the product or service. Substantially
all of our revenue is recognized over time as we perform under the
contract because control of the work in process transfers
continuously to the customer. For most contracts with the U.S.
Government and FMS contracts, this continuous transfer of control
of the work in process to the customer is supported by clauses in
the contract that give the customer ownership of work in process
and allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for
convenience and pay us for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit.
For most non-U.S. Government contracts, primarily international
direct commercial contracts, continuous transfer of control to our
customer is supported because we deliver products that do not have
an alternative use to us and if our customer were to terminate the
contract for reasons other than our non-performance we would have
the right to recover damages which would include, among other
potential damages, the right to payment for our work performed to
date plus a reasonable profit.
For performance obligations to deliver products with continuous
transfer of control to the customer, revenue is recognized based on
the extent of progress towards completion of the performance
obligation, generally using the percentage-of-completion
cost-to-cost measure of progress for our contracts because it best
depicts the transfer of control to the customer as we incur costs
on our contracts. Under the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost
measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is
measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total
estimated costs to complete the performance obligation(s). For
performance obligations to provide services to the customer,
revenue is recognized over time based on costs incurred or the
right to invoice method (in situations where the value transferred
matches our billing rights) as our customer receives and consumes
the benefits.
For performance obligations in which control does not continuously
transfer to the customer, we recognize revenue at the point in time
in which each performance obligation is fully satisfied. This
coincides with the point in time the customer obtains control of
the product or service, which typically occurs upon customer
acceptance or receipt of the product or service, given that we
maintain control of the product or service until that
point.
Significant estimates and assumptions are made in estimating
contract sales, costs, and profit. We estimate profit as the
difference between estimated revenues and total estimated costs to
complete the contract. At the outset of a long-term contract, we
identify and monitor risks to the achievement of the technical,
schedule and cost aspects of the contract, as well as our ability
to earn variable consideration, and assess the effects of those
risks on our estimates of sales and total costs to complete the
contract. The estimates consider the technical requirements (e.g.,
a newly-developed product versus a mature product), the schedule
and associated tasks (e.g., the number and type of milestone
events) and costs (e.g., material, labor, subcontractor, overhead,
general and administrative and the estimated costs to fulfill our
industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset
or localization agreements, required under certain contracts with
international customers). The initial profit booking rate of each
contract considers risks surrounding the ability to achieve the
technical requirements, schedule and costs in the initial estimated
total costs to complete the contract. Profit booking rates may
increase during the performance of the contract if we successfully
retire risks related to technical, schedule and cost aspects of the
contract, which decreases the estimated total costs to complete the
contract or may increase the variable consideration we expect to
receive on the contract. Conversely, our profit booking rates may
decrease if the estimated total costs to complete the contract
increase or our estimates of variable consideration we expect to
receive decrease. All of the estimates are subject to change during
the performance of the contract and may affect the profit booking
rate. When estimates of total costs to be incurred on a
contract exceed total estimates of the transaction price, a
provision for the entire loss is determined at the contract level
and is recorded in the period in which the loss is evident, which
we refer to as a reach-forward loss.
Comparability of our segment sales, operating profit and operating
margin may be impacted favorably or unfavorably by changes in
profit booking rates on our contracts for which we recognize
revenue over time using the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost
method to measure progress towards completion. Increases in the
profit booking rates, typically referred to as favorable profit
adjustments, usually relate to revisions in the estimated total
costs to fulfill the performance obligations that reflect improved
conditions on a particular contract. Conversely, conditions on a
particular contract may deteriorate, resulting in an increase in
the estimated total costs to fulfill the performance obligations
and a reduction in the profit booking rate and are typically
referred to as unfavorable profit adjustments. Increases or
decreases in profit booking rates are recognized in the current
period they are determined and reflect the inception-to-date effect
of such changes. Segment operating profit and margin may also be
impacted favorably or unfavorably by other items, which may or may
not impact sales. Favorable items may include the positive
resolution of contractual matters, cost recoveries on severance and
restructuring, insurance recoveries and gains on sales of assets.
Unfavorable items may include the adverse resolution of contractual
matters; COVID-19 impacts or supply chain disruptions;
restructuring charges (except for significant severance actions,
which are excluded from segment operating results); reserves for
disputes; certain asset impairments; and losses on sales of certain
assets.
Other Contract Accounting Considerations
The majority of our sales are driven by pricing based on costs
incurred to produce products or perform services under contracts
with the U.S. Government. Cost-based pricing is determined under
the FAR. The FAR provides guidance on the types of costs that are
allowable in establishing prices for goods and services under U.S.
Government contracts. For example, costs such as those related to
charitable contributions, interest expense and certain advertising
and public relations activities are unallowable and, therefore, not
recoverable through sales. In addition, we may enter into advance
agreements with the U.S. Government that address the subjects of
allowability and allocability of costs to contracts for specific
matters. For example, most of the environmental costs we incur for
environmental remediation related to sites operated in prior years
are allocated to our current operations as general and
administrative costs under FAR provisions and supporting advance
agreements reached with the U.S. Government.
We closely monitor compliance with and the consistent application
of our critical accounting policies related to contract accounting.
Costs incurred and allocated to contracts are reviewed for
compliance with U.S. Government regulations by our personnel and
are subject to audit by the Defense Contract Audit
Agency.
Postretirement Benefit Plans
Overview
Many of our employees and retirees participate in qualified and
nonqualified defined benefit pension plans, retiree medical and
life insurance plans and other postemployment plans (collectively,
postretirement benefit plans - see “Note 11 –
Postretirement Benefit Plans” included in our Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements). The majority of our accrued benefit
obligations relate to our qualified defined benefit pension and
retiree medical and life insurance plans. We recognize on a
plan-by-plan basis the net funded status of these postretirement
benefit plans under GAAP as either an asset or a liability on our
consolidated balance sheets. The GAAP funded status represents the
difference between the fair value of each plan’s assets and the
benefit obligation of the plan. The GAAP benefit obligation
represents the present value of the estimated future benefits we
currently expect to pay to plan participants based on past service.
The qualified defined benefit pension plans for salaried employees
are fully frozen effective January 1, 2020 and our salaried
employees participate in an enhanced defined contribution
retirement savings plan.
Similar to recent years, we continue to take actions to mitigate
the effect of our defined benefit pension plans on our financial
results by reducing the volatility of our pension obligations,
including entering into pension risk transfer transactions
involving the purchase of group annuity contracts (GACs) for
portions of our outstanding defined benefit pension obligations
using assets from the pension trust. During the second quarter of
2022, we purchased GACs to transfer $4.3 billion of gross defined
benefit pension obligations and related plan assets to an insurance
company for approximately 13,600 U.S. retirees and beneficiaries.
The GACs were purchased using assets from Lockheed Martin’s master
retirement trust and no additional funding contribution was
required. In connection with this transaction, we recognized a
noncash, non-operating pension settlement charge of $1.5 billion
($1.2 billion, or $4.33 per share, after-tax) for the affected
defined benefit pension plans in the quarter ended June 26, 2022,
which represents the accelerated recognition of actuarial losses
that were included in the accumulated other comprehensive loss
account within stockholders’ equity. Similarly, in the third
quarter of 2021, we purchased GACs to transfer $4.9 billion of
gross defined benefit pension obligations and related plan assets
to an insurance company for approximately 18,000 U.S. retirees and
beneficiaries. In connection with this transaction, we recognized a
noncash pension settlement charge of $1.7 billion ($1.3 billion, or
$4.72 per share, after tax) during the third quarter of
2021.
Inclusive of the transactions described above, since December 2018,
Lockheed Martin, through its master retirement trust, has purchased
total contracts for approximately $15.9 billion related to our
outstanding defined benefit pension obligations eliminating pension
plan volatility for approximately 109,000 retirees and
beneficiaries and annually required Pension Benefit Guarantee
Corporation (PBGC) premiums of approximately $79 million per
year.
We expect to continue to look for opportunities to manage our
pension liabilities through additional pension risk transfer
transactions in future years. Future transactions could result in a
noncash settlement charge to earnings, which could be material to a
reporting period.
Notwithstanding these actions, the impact of our postretirement
benefit plans on our earnings may be volatile in that the amount of
expense we record and the funded status for our postretirement
benefit plans may materially change from year to year because the
calculations are sensitive to changes in several key economic
assumptions, including interest rates, actual rates of return on
plan assets and other actuarial assumptions including participant
longevity, as well as the timing of cash funding.
Actuarial Assumptions
The benefit obligations and assets of our postretirement benefit
plans are measured at the end of each year, or more frequently,
upon the occurrence of certain events such as a significant plan
amendment (including in connection with a pension risk transfer
transaction), settlement, or curtailment. The amounts we record are
measured using actuarial valuations, which are dependent upon key
assumptions such as discount rates, the expected long-term rate of
return on plan assets and participant longevity. The assumptions we
make affect both the calculation of the benefit obligations as of
the measurement date and the calculation of FAS expense in
subsequent periods. When reassessing these assumptions, we consider
past and current market conditions and make judgments about future
market trends. We also consider factors such as the timing and
amounts of expected contributions to the plans and benefit payments
to plan participants.
We continue to use a single weighted average discount rate approach
when calculating our consolidated benefit obligations related to
our defined benefit pension plans resulting in 5.250% at
December 31, 2022, compared to 2.875% at
December 31,
2021. We utilized a single weighted average discount rate of 5.25%
when calculating our benefit obligations related to our retiree
medical and life insurance plans at December 31, 2022,
compared to 2.75% at December 31, 2021. We evaluate several
data points in order to arrive at an appropriate single weighted
average discount rate, including results from cash flow models,
quoted rates from long-term bond indices and changes in long-term
bond rates over the past year. As part of our evaluation, we
calculate the approximate average yields on corporate bonds rated
AA or better selected to match our projected postretirement benefit
plan cash flows. The increase in the discount rate from
December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022 resulted in a
decrease in the projected benefit obligations of our qualified
defined benefit pension plans of approximately $10.2 billion at
December 31, 2022.
We utilized an expected long-term rate of return on plan assets of
6.50% at both December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The long-term rate of return assumption represents the expected
long-term rate of return on the funds invested or to be invested,
to provide for the benefits included in the benefit obligations.
This assumption is based on several factors including historical
market index returns, the anticipated long-term allocation of plan
assets, the historical return data for the trust funds, plan
expenses and the potential to outperform market index returns. The
difference between the long-term rate of return on plan assets
assumption we select and the actual return on plan assets in any
given year affects both the funded status of our benefit plans and
the calculation of FAS pension expense in subsequent periods.
Although the actual return in any specific year likely will differ
from the assumption, the average expected return over a long-term
future horizon should be approximately equal to the assumption. Any
variance each year should not, by itself, suggest that the
assumption should be changed. Patterns of variances are reviewed
over time, and then combined with expectations for the future. As a
result, changes in this assumption are less frequent than changes
in the discount rate. The actual investment return for our
qualified defined benefit plans during 2022 of $(5.9) billion,
based on an actual rate of approximately
(18)%,
reduced plan assets more than the $1.9 billion expected return
based on our long-term rate of return assumption.
Our stockholders’ equity has been reduced cumulatively by
$7.9 billion from the annual year-end measurements of the
funded status of postretirement benefit plans. The cumulative
noncash, after-tax reduction primarily represents net actuarial
losses resulting from changes in discount rates, investment
experience, and updated longevity. A market-related value of our
plan assets, determined using actual asset gains or losses over the
prior three-year period, is used to calculate the amount of
deferred asset gains or losses to be amortized. These cumulative
actuarial losses will be amortized to expense using the corridor
method, where gains and losses are recognized to the extent they
exceed 10% of the greater of plan assets or benefit obligations,
over an average period of approximately twenty years as of
December 31, 2022. During 2022, $1.2 billion of these
amounts, along with amortization of net prior service credit, were
recognized as a component of postretirement benefit plans expense
inclusive of the noncash pension settlement charge of
$1.2 billion.
The discount rate and long-term rate of return on plan assets
assumptions we select at the end of each year are based on our best
estimates and judgment. A change of plus or minus 25 basis points
in the 5.25% discount rate assumption at December 31, 2022,
with all other assumptions held constant, would have decreased or
increased the amount of the qualified pension benefit obligation we
recorded at the end of 2022 by approximately $800 million, which
would result in an after-tax increase or decrease in stockholders’
equity at the end of the year of approximately $600 million. If the
5.25% discount rate at December 31, 2022 that was used to
compute the expected 2023 FAS pension income for our qualified
defined benefit pension plans had been 25 basis points higher
or lower, with all other assumptions held constant, the amount of
FAS pension income projected for 2023 would change approximately $5
million. If the 6.50% expected long-term rate of return on plan
assets assumption at December 31, 2022 that was used to
compute the expected 2023 FAS pension income for our qualified
defined benefit pension plans had been 25 basis points higher or
lower, with all other assumptions held constant, the amount of FAS
pension income projected for 2023 would be higher or lower by
approximately $65 million. Each year, differences between the
actual and expected long-term rate of return on plan assets impacts
the measurement of the following year’s FAS pension income. Every
100 basis points increase (decrease) in return during 2022 between
our actual rate of return of approximately (18)% and our expected
long-term rate of return increased (decreased) 2023 expected FAS
pension income by approximately $10 million.
Funding Considerations
We made no contributions in 2022 and 2021 to our qualified defined
benefit pension plans. Funding of our qualified defined benefit
pension plans is determined in a manner consistent with CAS and in
accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA), as amended, along with consideration of CAS and Internal
Revenue Code rules. Our goal has been to fund the pension plans to
a level of at least 80%, as determined in accordance with ERISA.
The ERISA funded status of our qualified defined benefit pension
plans was approximately 82% and 92% as of December 31, 2022
and 2021; which is calculated on a different basis than under GAAP
and reflects the impact of the American Rescue Plan Act of
2021.
Contributions to our defined benefit pension plans are recovered
over time through the pricing of our products and services on U.S.
Government contracts, including FMS, and are recognized in our cost
of sales and net sales. CAS govern the extent to
which our pension costs are allocable to and recoverable under
contracts with the U.S. Government, including FMS. Pension cost
recoveries under CAS occur in different periods from when pension
contributions are made in accordance with ERISA.
We recovered $1.8 billion in 2022 and $2.1 billion in 2021 as CAS
pension costs. Amounts contributed in excess of the CAS pension
costs recovered under U.S. Government contracts are considered to
be prepayment credits under the CAS rules. Our prepayment credits
were approximately $4.3 billion and $7.0 billion at
December 31, 2022 and 2021. The prepayment credit balance will
increase or decrease based on our actual investment return on plan
assets.
Environmental Matters
We are a party to various agreements, proceedings and potential
proceedings for environmental remediation issues, including matters
at various sites where we have been designated a potentially
responsible party (PRP). At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the
total amount of liabilities recorded on our consolidated balance
sheet for environmental matters was $696 million and
$742 million. We have recorded assets totaling $618 million
and $645 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021 for the portion
of environmental costs that are probable of future recovery in
pricing of our products and services for agencies of the U.S.
Government, as discussed below. The amount that is expected to be
allocated to our non-U.S. Government contracts or that is
determined to not be recoverable under U.S. Government contracts is
expensed through cost of sales. We project costs and recovery of
costs over approximately 20 years.
We enter into agreements (e.g.,
administrative consent orders, consent decrees) that document the
extent and timing of some of our environmental remediation
obligations. We also are involved in environmental remediation
activities at sites where formal agreements either do not exist or
do not quantify the extent and timing of our obligations.
Environmental remediation activities usually span many years, which
makes estimating the costs more judgmental due to, for example,
changing remediation technologies. To determine the costs related
to clean up sites, we have to assess the extent of contamination,
effects on natural resources, the appropriate technology to be used
to accomplish the remediation, and evolving environmental
standards.
We perform quarterly reviews of environmental remediation sites and
record liabilities and receivables in the period it becomes
probable that the liabilities have been incurred and the amounts
can be reasonably estimated (see the discussion under
“Environmental Matters” in “Note 1 – Organization and
Significant Accounting Policies” and “Note 14 – Legal
Proceedings, Commitments and Contingencies” included in our Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements). We consider the above
factors in our quarterly estimates of the timing and amount of any
future costs that may be required for environmental remediation
activities, which result in the calculation of a range of estimates
for each particular environmental remediation site. We do not
discount the recorded liabilities, as the amount and timing of
future cash payments are not fixed or cannot be reliably
determined. Given the required level of judgment and estimation, it
is likely that materially different amounts could be recorded if
different assumptions were used or if circumstances were to change
(e.g.,
a change in environmental standards or a change in our estimate of
the extent of contamination).
Under agreements reached with the U.S. Government, most of the
amounts we spend for environmental remediation are allocated to our
operations as general and administrative costs. Under existing U.S.
Government regulations, these and other environmental expenditures
relating to our U.S. Government business, after deducting any
recoveries received from insurance or other PRPs, are allowable in
establishing prices of our products and services. As a result, most
of the expenditures we incur are included in our net sales and cost
of sales according to U.S. Government agreement or regulation,
regardless of the contract form (e.g. cost-reimbursable,
fixed-price). We continually evaluate the recoverability of our
assets for the portion of environmental costs that are probable of
future recovery by assessing, among other factors, U.S. Government
regulations, our U.S. Government business base and contract mix,
our history of receiving reimbursement of such costs, and efforts
by some U.S. Government representatives to limit such
reimbursement.
As disclosed above, we may record changes in the amount of
environmental remediation liabilities as a result of our quarterly
reviews of the status of our environmental remediation sites, which
would result in a change to the corresponding amount that is
probable of future recovery and a charge to earnings. For example,
if we were to determine that the liabilities should be increased by
$100 million, the corresponding amount that is probable of
future recovery would be increased by approximately $89 million,
with the remainder recorded as a charge to earnings. This
allocation is determined annually, based upon our existing and
projected business activities with the U.S.
Government.
We cannot reasonably determine the extent of our financial exposure
at all environmental remediation sites with which we are involved.
There are a number of former operating facilities we are monitoring
or investigating for potential future environmental remediation. In
some cases, although a loss may be probable, it is not possible at
this time to reasonably estimate the amount of any obligation for
remediation activities because of uncertainties (e.g., assessing
the extent of the contamination). During any particular quarter,
such uncertainties may be resolved, allowing us to estimate and
recognize the initial liability to
remediate a particular former operating site. The amount of the
liability could be material. Upon recognition of the liability, a
portion will be recognized as a receivable with the remainder
charged to earnings, which may have a material effect in any
particular interim reporting period.
If we are ultimately found to have liability at those sites where
we have been designated a PRP, we expect that the actual costs of
environmental remediation will be shared with other liable PRPs.
Generally, PRPs that are ultimately determined to be responsible
parties are strictly liable for site remediation and usually agree
among themselves to share, on an allocated basis, the costs and
expenses for environmental investigation and remediation. Under
existing environmental laws, responsible parties are jointly and
severally liable and, therefore, we are potentially liable for the
full cost of funding such remediation. In the unlikely event that
we were required to fund the entire cost of such remediation, the
statutory framework provides that we may pursue rights of cost
recovery or contribution from the other PRPs. The amounts we record
do not reflect the fact that we may recover some of the
environmental costs we have incurred through insurance or from
other PRPs, which we are required to pursue by agreement and U.S.
Government regulation.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The assets and liabilities of acquired businesses are recorded
under the acquisition method of accounting at their estimated fair
values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents costs in
excess of fair values assigned to the underlying identifiable net
assets of acquired businesses. Intangible assets from acquired
businesses are recognized at fair value on the acquisition date and
consist of customer programs, trademarks, customer relationships,
technology and other intangible assets. Customer programs include
values assigned to major programs of acquired businesses and
represent the aggregate value associated with the customer
relationships, contracts, technology and trademarks underlying the
associated program. Intangible assets are amortized over a period
of expected cash flows used to measure fair value, which typically
ranges from five to 20 years.
Our goodwill balance was $10.8 billion at both
December 31, 2022 and 2021. We perform an impairment test of
our goodwill at least annually in the fourth quarter or more
frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the
carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. Such events or changes
in circumstances may include a significant deterioration in overall
economic conditions, changes in the business climate of our
industry, a decline in our market capitalization, operating
performance indicators, competition, reorganizations of our
business, U.S. Government budget restrictions or the disposal of
all or a portion of a reporting unit. Our goodwill has been
allocated to and is tested for impairment at a level referred to as
the reporting unit, which is our business segment level or a level
below the business segment. The level at which we test goodwill for
impairment requires us to determine whether the operations below
the business segment constitute a self-sustaining business for
which discrete financial information is available and segment
management regularly reviews the operating results.
We may use both qualitative and quantitative approaches when
testing goodwill for impairment. For selected reporting units where
we use the qualitative approach, we perform a qualitative
evaluation of events and circumstances impacting the reporting unit
to determine the likelihood of goodwill impairment. Based on that
qualitative evaluation, if we determine it is more likely than not
that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying
amount, no further evaluation is necessary. Otherwise, we perform a
quantitative impairment test. We perform quantitative tests for
most reporting units at least once every three years. However, for
certain reporting units we may perform a quantitative impairment
test every year.
To perform the quantitative impairment test, we compare the fair
value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including
goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its
carrying value, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. If
the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill,
exceeds its fair value, a goodwill impairment loss is recognized in
an amount equal to that excess. We generally estimate the fair
value of each reporting unit using a combination of a discounted
cash flow (DCF) analysis and market-based valuation methodologies
such as comparable public company trading values and values
observed in recent business acquisitions. Determining fair value
requires the exercise of significant judgments, including the
amount and timing of expected future cash flows, long-term growth
rates, discount rates and relevant comparable public company
earnings multiples and relevant transaction multiples. The cash
flows employed in the DCF analysis are based on our best estimate
of future sales, earnings and cash flows after considering factors
such as general market conditions, U.S. Government budgets,
existing firm orders, expected future orders, contracts with
suppliers, labor agreements, changes in working capital, long term
business plans and recent operating performance. The discount rates
utilized in the DCF analysis are based on the respective reporting
unit’s weighted average cost of capital, which takes into account
the relative weights of each component of capital structure (equity
and debt) and represents the expected cost of new capital, adjusted
as appropriate to consider the risk inherent in future cash flows
of the respective reporting unit. The carrying value of each
reporting unit includes the assets and liabilities employed in its
operations, goodwill and allocations of amounts held at the
business segment and corporate levels.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, we performed our annual goodwill
impairment test for each of our reporting units. The results of
that test indicated that for each of our reporting units no
impairment existed, including Sikorsky. Based on this, the fair
value
of our Sikorsky reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, which
included goodwill of $2.7 billion, by a margin of
approximately 40%. The fair value of both our Sikorsky reporting
unit and the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset can be
significantly impacted by its performance, the amount and timing of
expected future cash flows, contract terminations, changes in
expected future orders, general market pressures, including U.S.
Government budgetary constraints, discount rates, long term growth
rates, and changes in U.S. (federal or state) or foreign tax laws
and regulations, or their interpretation and application, including
those with retroactive effect, along with other significant
judgments. Based on our assessment of these circumstances, we have
determined that goodwill at our Sikorsky reporting unit and the
indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at our Sikorsky
reporting unit are at risk for impairment should there be a
significant deterioration of projected cash flows of the reporting
unit. We do not currently anticipate any material impairments on
our assets as a result of COVID-19 or inflation.
Impairment assessments inherently involve management judgments
regarding a number of assumptions such as those described above.
Due to the many variables inherent in the estimation of a reporting
unit’s fair value and the relative size of our recorded goodwill,
differences in assumptions could have a material effect on the
estimated fair value of one or more of our reporting units and
could result in a goodwill impairment charge in a future
period.
Acquired intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not
amortized, but are subject to annual impairment testing or more
frequently if events or change in circumstance indicate that it is
more likely than not that the asset is impaired. This testing
compares carrying value to fair value and, when appropriate, the
carrying value of these assets is reduced to fair value. In the
fourth quarter of 2022, we performed our annual impairment test,
and the results of that test indicated no impairment existed.
Intangibles are amortized to expense over their applicable useful
lives, ranging from five to 20 years, based on the nature of the
asset and the underlying pattern of economic benefit as reflected
by future net cash inflows. We perform an impairment test of
finite-lived intangibles whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate their carrying value may be impaired. If
events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of a
finite-lived intangible may be impaired, the sum of the
undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of
the asset group would be compared to the asset group’s carrying
value. If the asset group’s carrying amount exceed the sum of the
undiscounted future cash flows, we would determine the fair value
of the asset group and record an impairment loss in net
earnings.
ITEM 7A. Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We maintain active relationships with a broad and diverse group of
U.S. and international financial institutions. We believe that they
provide us with sufficient access to the general and trade credit
we require to conduct our business. We closely monitor the
financial market environment and actively manage counterparty
exposure to minimize the potential impact from adverse developments
with any single credit provider while ensuring availability of, and
access to, sufficient credit resources.
Our main exposure to market risk relates to interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates and market prices on certain equity
securities. Our financial instruments that are subject to interest
rate risk principally include fixed-rate long-term debt and
commercial paper, if issued. The estimated fair value of our
outstanding debt was $16.0 billion at December 31, 2022
and the outstanding principal amount was $16.8 billion,
excluding unamortized discounts and issuance costs of
$1.3 billion. A 10% change in the level of interest rates
would not have a material impact on the fair value of our
outstanding debt at December 31, 2022.
We use derivative instruments principally to reduce our exposure to
market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and
interest rates. We do not enter into or hold derivative instruments
for speculative trading purposes. We transact business globally and
are subject to risks associated with changing foreign currency
exchange rates. We enter into foreign currency hedges such as
forward and option contracts that change in value as foreign
currency exchange rates change. Our most significant foreign
currency exposures relate to the British pound sterling, the euro,
the Canadian dollar, the Australian dollar, the Norwegian kroner
and the Polish zloty. These contracts hedge forecasted foreign
currency transactions in order to minimize fluctuations in our
earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. We designate foreign currency hedges as cash flow
hedges. We also are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes
primarily through our borrowing activities. For fixed rate
borrowings, we may use variable interest rate swaps, effectively
converting fixed rate borrowings to variable rate borrowings in
order to hedge changes in the fair value of the debt. These swaps
are designated as fair value hedges. For variable rate borrowings,
we may use fixed interest rate swaps, effectively converting
variable rate borrowings to fixed rate borrowings in order to
minimize the impact of interest rate changes on earnings. These
swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. We also may enter into
derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges and do not
qualify for hedge accounting, which are intended to minimize
certain economic exposures.
The classification of gains and losses resulting from changes in
the fair values of derivatives is dependent on our intended use of
the derivative and its resulting designation. Adjustments to
reflect changes in fair values of derivatives attributable to
highly effective hedges are either reflected in earnings and
largely offset by corresponding adjustments to the hedged items or
reflected net of income taxes in accumulated other comprehensive
loss until the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings.
Changes in the fair value of the derivatives that are not highly
effective, if any, are immediately recognized in earnings. The
aggregate notional amount of our outstanding interest rate swaps at
December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $1.3 billion and
$500 million. The increase in 2022 was designated on the
additional debt we issued during the fourth quarter. The aggregate
notional amount of our outstanding foreign currency hedges at
December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $7.3 billion and $4.0 billion.
The increase in 2022 is due to the timing of foreign denominated
international contract awards. At December 31, 2022 and 2021,
the net fair value of our derivative instruments was not material
(see “Note 15 – Fair Value Measurements” included in our
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). A 10% unfavorable
exchange rate movement of our foreign currency contracts would not
have a material impact on the aggregate net fair value of such
contracts or our consolidated financial statements. Additionally,
as we enter into foreign currency contracts to hedge foreign
currency exposure on underlying transactions we believe that any
movement on our foreign currency contracts would be offset by
movement on the underlying transactions and, therefore, when taken
together do not create material risk.
We evaluate the credit quality of potential counterparties to
derivative transactions and only enter into agreements with those
deemed to have acceptable credit risk at the time the agreements
are executed. Our foreign currency exchange hedge portfolio is
diversified across many banks. We regularly monitor changes to
counterparty credit quality as well as our concentration of credit
exposure to individual counterparties. We do not hold or issue
derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative
purposes.
We maintain a separate trust that includes investments to fund
certain of our non-qualified deferred compensation plans. As of
December 31, 2022, investments in the trust totaled $1.6
billion and are reflected at fair value on our consolidated balance
sheet in other noncurrent assets. The trust holds investments in
marketable equity securities and fixed-income securities that are
exposed to price changes and changes in interest rates. A portion
of the liabilities associated with the deferred compensation plans
supported by the trust is also impacted by changes in the market
price of our common stock and certain market indices. Changes in
the value of the liabilities have the effect of partially
offsetting the impact of changes in the value of the trust. Both
the change in the fair value of the trust and the change in the
value of the liabilities are recognized on our consolidated
statements of earnings in other unallocated, net and were not
material for the year ended December 31, 2022.
We are exposed to equity market risk through certain marketable
securities. The fair value of these marketable securities was
$24 million as of December 31, 2022. A 10% decrease in
the market price of our marketable equity securities as of
December 31, 2022 would not have a material impact on the
carrying amounts of these securities or our consolidated financial
statements. Many of the same factors that could result in an
adverse movement of equity market prices affect our non-marketable
equity investments, although we cannot always quantify the impacts
directly. Financial markets are volatile, which could negatively
affect the valuations and prospects of the companies we invest in,
their ability to raise additional capital, and the likelihood of
our ability to realize value in our investments through liquidity
events such as initial public offerings, mergers, and private
sales.

Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
on the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Lockheed Martin Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Lockheed Martin Corporation (the Corporation) as of
December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated
statements of earnings, comprehensive income, cash flows and equity
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the
“consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the
consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Corporation at
December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB),
the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our
report dated January 26, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion
thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Corporation’s financial statements based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB
and are required to be independent with respect to the Corporation
in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error
or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the
risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to
those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising
from the current period audit of the financial statements that were
communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee
and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material
to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially
challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of
critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the
consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are
not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing
separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts
or disclosures to which they relate.

Revenue recognition based on the percentage of completion
method
|
|
|
|
Description of the Matter |
|
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Corporation recorded net
sales of $66.0 billion. As more fully described in Note 1 to
the consolidated financial statements, the Corporation generates
the majority of its net sales from long-term contracts with its
customers whereby substantially all of the Corporation’s revenue is
recognized over time using the percentage-of-completion
cost-to-cost measure of progress. Under the
percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost measure of progress, the
Corporation measures progress towards completion based on the ratio
of costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs to complete
the performance obligation(s) (referred to as the
estimate-at-completion analysis). The Corporation estimates profit
on these contracts as the difference between total estimated
revenues and total estimated cost at completion.
The percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost method requires
management to make significant estimates and assumptions to
estimate contract sales and costs associated with its contracts
with customers. At the outset of a long-term contract, the
Corporation identifies risks to the achievement of the technical,
schedule and cost aspects of the contract. Throughout the contract
life cycle, the Corporation monitors and assesses the effects of
those risks on its estimates of sales and total costs to complete
the contract. Profit booking rates may increase during the
performance of the contract if the Corporation successfully retires
risks surrounding the technical, schedule and cost aspects of the
contract, which would decrease the estimated total costs to
complete the contract. Conversely, the profit booking rates may
decrease if the estimated total costs to complete the contract
increase. Changes to the profit booking rates resulting from
changes in estimates could have a material effect on the
Corporation’s results of operations.
Auditing the Corporation’s estimate-at-completion analyses used in
its revenue recognition process was complex due to the judgment
involved in evaluating the significant estimates and assumptions
made by management in the creation and subsequent updates to the
Corporation’s estimate-at-completion analyses. The
estimate-at-completion analyses of each contract consider risks
surrounding the Corporation’s ability to achieve the technical,
schedule, and cost aspects of the contract.
|
|
|
|
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit |
|
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the
operating effectiveness of relevant internal controls over the
Corporation’s revenue recognition process. For example, we tested
internal controls over management’s review of the
estimate-at-completion analyses and the significant assumptions
underlying the estimated contract value and estimated total costs
to complete. We also tested internal controls that management
executes which are designed to validate the data used in the
estimate-at-completion analyses was complete and
accurate.
To test the accuracy of the Corporation’s estimate-at-completion
analyses, our audit procedures included, among others, comparing
estimates of labor costs, subcontractor costs, and materials to
historical results of similar contracts, and agreeing the key terms
to contract documentation and management’s estimates. We also
performed sensitivity analyses over the significant assumptions to
evaluate the change in the profit booking rates resulting from
changes in the assumptions.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan Obligation |
|
|
|
Description of the Matter |
|
At December 31, 2022, the Corporation’s aggregate obligation for
its qualified defined benefit pension plans was $28.7 billion and
exceeded the gross fair value of the related plan assets of $23.2
billion, resulting in a net unfunded qualified defined benefit
pension obligation of $5.5 billion. As explained in Note 11 of
the consolidated financial statements, the Corporation remeasures
the qualified defined benefit pension assets and obligations at the
end of each year or more frequently upon the occurrence of certain
events. The amounts are measured using actuarial valuations, which
depend on key assumptions such as the discount rate.
Auditing the defined benefit pension obligation was complex and
required the involvement of specialists as a result of the
judgmental nature of the actuarial assumptions such as the discount
rate used in the measurement process. The discount rate assumption
has a significant effect on the measurement of the projected
benefit obligation.

|
|
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit |
|
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the
operating effectiveness of relevant internal controls over
management’s measurement and valuation of the defined benefit
pension obligation calculations. For example, we tested the
internal controls over management’s review of the defined benefit
pension obligation calculations, the significant actuarial
assumptions and the data inputs provided to the
actuaries.
To test the defined benefit pension obligation, our audit
procedures included, among others, evaluating the methodology used,
the significant actuarial assumptions described above and the
underlying data used by the Corporation. We compared the actuarial
assumptions used by management to historical trends and evaluated
the change in the defined benefit pension obligation from prior
year due to the change in service cost, interest cost, benefit
payments, settlements, actuarial gains and losses, longevity
assumptions and plan amendments. In addition, we involved our
actuarial specialists to assist in evaluating management’s
methodology for determining the discount rate that considers the
maturity and duration of the benefit payments and is used to
measure the defined benefit pension obligation. As part of this
assessment, we compared the projected cash flows to the prior year
and compared the current year benefits paid to the prior year
projected cash flows. Lastly, we also tested the completeness and
accuracy of the underlying data, including the participant data
provided to the Corporation’s actuarial specialists.
