Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 27, 2009

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We have prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. We have continued to follow the accounting policies disclosed in the consolidated financial statements included in our 2008 Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

It is our practice to close our books and records on the Sunday prior to the end of the calendar quarter to align our financial closing with our business processes. The interim financial statements and tables of financial information included herein are labeled based on that convention. This practice only affects interim periods, as our fiscal year ends on December 31.

The interim financial information in this Form 10-Q reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 27, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

We have reclassified certain amounts for the prior period to conform to the 2009 presentation. For the nine months ended September 28, 2008, we reclassified an $18 million reduction in cash from operating activities to “Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents” on our Statement of Cash Flows. The reclassification related to the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies.

We have evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing this Form 10-Q with the SEC on October 22, 2009. No material subsequent events have occurred since September 27, 2009 that required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

NOTE 2 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

We compute basic and diluted per share amounts based on net earnings for the periods presented. We use the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period to calculate basic earnings per share. The weighted average number of common shares used in our calculation of diluted per share amounts includes the dilutive effects of stock options and restricted stock units based on the treasury stock method, and shares related to our convertible debentures discussed below.

Unless otherwise noted, we present all per share amounts cited in these financial statements on a “per diluted share” basis.

The calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

   $       2.07    $       1.92    $       5.61    $       5.82
                           

On June 26, 2008, our Board of Directors authorized and we announced the planned redemption of any and all of our $1.0 billion in original principal amount of floating rate convertible debentures that remained outstanding on August 15, 2008. In August 2008, all of the debentures were delivered for conversion or were redeemed (see Note 8 under the caption “Long-term Debt”). The accounting standard for earnings per share required an assumption that shares would be used to pay the conversion obligations in excess of the accreted principal amount and that those shares would be included in our calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding for the diluted earnings per share computation up to the date the convertible securities were converted. The number of shares included in the computation for the quarter and nine months ended September 28, 2008 did not have a material impact on earnings per share.

NOTE 3 – INFORMATION ON BUSINESS SEGMENTS

We operate in four principal business segments: Electronic Systems, Information Systems & Global Services (IS&GS), Aeronautics, and Space Systems. We organize our business segments based on the nature of the products and services offered.

In the following table, total operating profit of the business segments is reconciled to the corresponding consolidated amount. The reconciling item “Unallocated Corporate income (expense), net” includes the FAS/CAS pension adjustment (see discussion below), costs for certain stock-based compensation programs (including stock-based compensation costs for stock options and restricted stock units), the effects of items not considered part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance, Corporate costs not allocated to the operating segments, and other miscellaneous Corporate activities. Since the activities of the investees in which certain business segments hold equity interests are closely aligned with the operations of those segments, the equity earnings (losses) from those investees are included in the operating profit of the respective segments.

The FAS/CAS pension adjustment represents the difference between pension expense or income calculated for financial reporting purposes under GAAP, and pension costs calculated and funded in accordance with U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), which are reflected in our business segment results. CAS is a major factor in determining our pension

funding requirements, and governs the extent to which pension costs can be allocated to and recovered on government contracts. The CAS expense is recovered through the pricing of our products and services on U.S. Government contracts and, therefore, recognized in segment net sales. The results of operations of our segments only include pension expense as determined and funded in accordance with CAS rules.

Transactions between segments are negotiated and accounted for under terms and conditions similar to other government and commercial contracts; however, these intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation and for purposes of the presentation of net sales in the related table that follows.

In 2008, we made discretionary prepayments totaling $109 million related to our qualified defined benefit pension plans and $120 million related to our retiree medical and life insurance plans. These prepayments reduced our funding requirements for 2009. We funded $2 million in discretionary contributions to our qualified defined benefit pension plans during the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2009. The remaining amount of required funding in 2009 is less than $5 million. We plan to review options for further discretionary contributions in 2009, and anticipate making a discretionary contribution of at least $1.0 billion to our defined benefit plans’ trust in the fourth quarter.

NOTE 6 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are a party to or have property subject to litigation and other proceedings, including matters arising under provisions relating to the protection of the environment. We believe the probability is remote that the outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation as a whole. We cannot predict the outcome of legal proceedings with certainty. These matters include the following items which have been previously reported.

Legal Proceedings

On June 24, 2009, the U.K. Ministry of Defence (MoD) sent us a letter declaring that we were in default on the “Soothsayer” contract under which we were providing electronic warfare equipment to the British military. The total value of the contract is UK £144 million, of which UK £39 million has been paid to date (representing approximately US $230 million and US $62 million, based on the exchange rate as of September 27, 2009). The MoD has demanded repayment of amounts paid under the contract, liquidated damages of UK £2 million (representing approximately US $3 million based on the exchange rate as of September 27, 2009), interest on those amounts, and has reserved the right to collect any excess future re-procurement costs. We dispute the MoD’s position and plan to proceed to alternative dispute resolution pursuant to the contract terms and to seek damages for wrongful termination of the contract (including costs incurred but not paid).

On April 24, 2009, we filed a declaratory judgment action against the N.Y. Metropolitan Transportation Authority and its Capital Construction Company (collectively, the MTA) asking the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of N.Y. to find that the MTA is in material breach of our agreement based on the MTA’s failure to provide access to sites where work must be performed and the customer-furnished equipment necessary to complete the contract. The contract provides for the design and installation of an integrated electronic security system for the MTA and has a total value of $323 million, of which $241 million has been paid to date. The MTA filed an answer and counterclaim on May 26, 2009, alleging that we breached the contract, and subsequently terminated the contract for alleged default. The MTA is seeking monetary damages and other relief under the contract, including the cost to complete the contract and potential re-procurement costs. We dispute the MTA’s allegations and are defending against them. On July 2, 2009, the sureties under the performance bond that we posted for the contract filed their own declaratory judgment action seeking to be excused from performing for the MTA (noting that they were unable to conclude that we were in material default under the contract) or, in the alternative, seeking indemnification from us. On July 7, 2009, we filed an amended complaint against the MTA adding claims for wrongful termination and for breach of contract damages (including costs incurred but not paid). The MTA has filed an amended counterclaim. Discovery is proceeding in the action.

On November 30, 2007, the Department of Justice (DoJ) filed a complaint in partial intervention in a lawsuit filed under the qui tam provisions of the Civil False Claims Act in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, United States ex rel. Becker and Spencer v. Lockheed Martin Corporation et al., alleging that we should have known that a subcontractor falsified and inflated invoices submitted to us that were passed through to the government. We dispute the allegations and are defending against them.

On February 22, 2007, we received a subpoena issued by a grand jury in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The subpoena requests documents related to our participation in a competition conducted in 2004-2005 by the National Archives and Records Administration for a $3 million contract to provide electronic document system support services. We cooperated with the investigation. On October 5, 2009, we received notice from the Department of Justice Antitrust Division that the grand jury investigation has been closed without charges being filed.

On September 11, 2006, we and Lockheed Martin Investment Management Company (LMIMCo), our wholly-owned subsidiary, were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois, seeking to represent a class of purportedly similarly situated participants and beneficiaries in our Salaried Savings Plan and the Hourly Savings Plan (the Plans). Plaintiffs allege that we or LMIMCo caused the Plans to pay expenses that were higher than reasonable by, among other actions, permitting service providers of the Plans to engage in revenue sharing, paying investment management fees for the company stock

 

      11

funds, and causing the company stock funds to hold cash for liquidity, thus reducing the return on those funds. The plaintiffs further allege that we or LMIMCo failed to disclose information appropriately relating to the fees associated with managing the Plans. In August 2008, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, adding allegations that we or LMIMCo breached fiduciary duties under ERISA by providing inadequate disclosures with respect to the Stable Value Fund offered under our 401(k) plans. In April 2009, the Judge dismissed the plaintiffs’ claims that were based on revenue sharing but let stand the claims about the company stock funds, the Stable Value Fund, and the overall fees paid by the plans. The Judge also certified a class for each plan for the claims concerning the Stable Value Fund and the overall fees paid by the plans. We are appealing that order. We dispute the allegations and are defending against them.

On February 6, 2004, we submitted a certified contract claim to the United States requesting contractual indemnity for remediation and litigation costs (past and future) related to our former facility in Redlands, California. We submitted the claim consistent with a claim sponsorship agreement with The Boeing Company (Boeing), executed in 2001, in Boeing’s role as the prime contractor on the Short Range Attack Missile (SRAM) program. The contract for the SRAM program, which formed a significant portion of our work at the Redlands facility, had special contractual indemnities from the U.S. Air Force, as authorized by Public Law 85-804. On August 31, 2004, the United States denied the claim. Our appeal of that decision is pending with the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals.

On August 28, 2003, the DoJ filed complaints in partial intervention in two lawsuits filed under the qui tam provisions of the Civil False Claims Act in the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, United States ex rel. Natural Resources Defense Council, et al., v. Lockheed Martin Corporation, et al., and United States ex rel. John D. Tillson v. Lockheed Martin Energy Systems, Inc., et al. The DoJ alleges that we committed violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant by not properly handling, storing, and transporting hazardous waste and that we violated the False Claims Act by misleading Department of Energy officials and state regulators about the nature and extent of environmental noncompliance at the plant. We dispute the allegations and are defending against them.

As described in the “Environmental Matters” discussion below, we are subject to federal and state requirements for protection of the environment, including those for discharge of hazardous materials and remediation of contaminated sites. As a result, we are a party to or have property subject to various other lawsuits or proceedings involving environmental matters and remediation obligations.

We have been in litigation with certain residents of Redlands, California since 1997 before the California Superior Court for San Bernardino County regarding allegations of personal injury, property damage, and other tort claims on behalf of individuals arising from our alleged contribution to regional groundwater contamination. On July 11, 2006, the California Court of Appeal dismissed the plaintiffs’ punitive damages claim. On September 23, 2008, the trial court dismissed the remaining first tier plaintiffs, ending the first round of individual trials. The first tier plaintiffs are pursuing their appellate remedies, and opposing counsel has asked the trial court to consider procedures for the litigation of the next round of individual plaintiffs.

Environmental Matters

We are involved in environmental proceedings and potential proceedings relating to soil and groundwater contamination, disposal of hazardous waste, and other environmental matters at several of our current or former facilities. Environmental cleanup activities usually span several years, which make estimating liabilities a matter of judgment because of such factors as changing remediation technologies, assessments of the extent of contamination, and continually evolving regulatory environmental standards. We consider these and other factors in estimates of the timing and amount of any future costs that may be required for remediation actions, which results

 

      12


Table of Contents

Lockheed Martin Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

in the calculation of a range of estimates for a particular environmental site. We record a liability for the amount within the range which we determine to be our best estimate of the cost of remediation or, in cases where no amount within the range is better than another, we record an amount at the low end of the range. We do not discount the recorded liabilities, as the amount and timing of future cash payments are not fixed or cannot be reliably determined.

We perform quarterly reviews of environmental remediation sites and record liabilities and assets in the period it becomes probable that a liability has been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. At September 27, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the aggregate amount of liabilities recorded relative to environmental matters was $862 million and $809 million. Of those amounts, $747 million and $694 million were recorded in other liabilities on the Balance Sheet, with the remainder recorded in other current liabilities. A portion of environmental costs is eligible for future recovery in the pricing of our products and services in U.S. Government contracts. We have recorded assets totaling $726 million and $683 million at September 27, 2009 and December 31, 2008 for the estimated future recovery of these costs, as we consider the recovery probable based on government contracting regulations and our history of receiving reimbursement for such costs. Of those amounts, $628 million and $585 million were recorded in other assets on the Balance Sheet, with the remainder recorded in other current assets. Amounts allocated to our commercial businesses or determined to be unallowable for pricing under U.S. Government contracts are expensed through cost of sales.

We cannot reasonably determine the extent of our financial exposure in all cases at this time. There are a number of former operating facilities which we are monitoring or investigating for potential future 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). We also are pursuing claims for contribution to site cleanup costs against other potentially responsible parties (PRPs), including the U.S. Government.

We are conducting remediation activities under various consent decrees and orders relating to soil and groundwater contamination at certain sites of former operations. Under agreements related to certain of our sites, the U.S. Government reimburses us an amount equal to approximately 50% of expenditures for certain remediation activities in its capacity as a PRP under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA).

Letters of Credit and Other Arrangements

We have entered into standby letter of credit agreements, surety bonds and other arrangements with financial institutions and other third parties primarily relating to advances received from customers and/or the guarantee of future performance on certain contracts. We have total outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and other arrangements aggregating $3.0 billion and $3.1 billion at September 27, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Letters of credit and surety bonds are generally available for draw down in the event we do not perform.

Investment in United Launch Alliance

In connection with the closing of the transaction to form United Launch Alliance, LLC (ULA) on December 1, 2006, we and Boeing each committed to providing up to $25 million in additional capital contributions and $200 million in other financial support to ULA, as required. The non-capital financial support is required to be made in the form of a revolving credit facility between us and ULA or guarantees of ULA financing with third parties, in either case to the extent necessary for ULA to meet its working capital needs. We have agreed to provide this support for at least five years from the closing date of the transaction, and would expect to fund our requirements with cash on hand. To satisfy our non-capital financial support commitment, we and Boeing put into place at closing a revolving credit agreement with ULA, under which no amounts have been drawn.

 

      13

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

As of September 27, 2009, we and Boeing each had provided the $25 million of funding to ULA under the additional capital contribution commitment. Of that amount, $22 million was contributed in the second quarter of 2009, prior to which we each received a dividend from ULA in a like amount. Other than the $22 million contribution, we did not provide further funding to ULA during the first nine months of 2009.

In the fourth quarter of 2008, we and Boeing each received a $100 million dividend payment. Prior to distribution of that dividend, we, Boeing and ULA entered into an agreement whereby, if ULA does not have sufficient cash resources and/or credit capacity to make payments under the inventory supply agreement it has with Boeing, both we and Boeing would provide to ULA, in the form of an additional capital contribution, the level of funding required for ULA to make such payments. Such capital contributions would not exceed the aggregate amount of the dividends we received through June 1, 2009, which totaled $122 million. We currently believe that ULA will have sufficient operating cash flows and credit capacity to meet its obligations such that we would not be required to make a contribution under this agreement.

In addition, both we and Boeing have cross-indemnified ULA related to certain financial support arrangements (e.g., letters of credit, surety bonds, or foreign exchange contracts provided by either party) and guarantees by us and Boeing of the performance and financial obligations of ULA under certain launch service contracts. We believe ULA will be able to fully perform its obligations, as it has done through September 27, 2009, and that it will not be necessary to make payments under the cross-indemnities.

NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The accounting standard for fair value measurements defines fair value, establishes a market-based framework or hierarchy for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard is applicable whenever assets and liabilities are measured at fair value.

The fair value hierarchy established in the standard prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels as follows:

 

   

Level 1 – Observable inputs – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

 

   

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities – includes quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets, and amounts derived from valuation models where all significant inputs are observable in active markets; and

 

   

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs – includes amounts derived from valuation models where one or more significant inputs are unobservable and require us to develop relevant assumptions. At September 27, 2009, we have no assets or liabilities that are categorized as Level 3. During 2009, we had no assets or liabilities that were transferred in or out of the Level 3 category.

(b) U.S. Government securities, corporate debt securities, U.S. Government-sponsored enterprise securities, and other securities are valued based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (e.g., interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals).
(c) Derivative assets and liabilities relate to foreign currency exchange contracts and are valued based on observable market prices, but are not exchanged in an active market. See Note 8 under the caption “Derivative Financial Instruments” for further information related to our derivative instruments.

We maintain a Rabbi Trust which includes investments to fund certain of our non-qualified deferred compensation plans. Investments in the trust are classified as trading securities and, accordingly, changes in their fair values are recorded in other non-operating income (expense), net. As of September 27, 2009, investments in the trust totaled $548 million and are included within the investment securities categories listed in the table above. Our net unrealized gains on the investments in the trust were $36 million and $98 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2009.

At September 27, 2009, the estimated fair values of our long-term debt instruments aggregated $4,919 million, compared with a carrying amount of $4,144 million, excluding the $339 million unamortized discount. The fair values were estimated based on quoted market prices of debt with terms and due dates similar to our long-term debt instruments. Our cash equivalents include highly liquid instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less. Due to the short maturity of these instruments, the carrying amount on our Balance Sheet approximates fair value.

As of September 27, 2009, our non-financial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis were not material.

NOTE 8 – OTHER

Matters Included in Earnings

In the third quarter of 2009, the IRS examination of our U.S. Federal Income Tax Returns for the years 2005-2007 was resolved and settled. As a result, we recognized additional tax benefits and reduced our income tax expense for the third quarter by $58 million ($0.15 per share), including related interest. This reduction in income tax expense reduced our effective income tax rate by 5.4% and 1.9% for the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2009.

In the third quarter of 2008, we recognized, net of state income taxes, a gain of $44 million in other income (expense), net representing a portion of the deferred net gain recorded in connection with the transaction to sell our ownership interests in Lockheed Khrunichev Energia International, Inc. (LKEI) and International Launch Services, Inc. (ILS) in 2006. The gain increased net earnings by $28 million ($0.07 per share). In the first quarter of 2008, we

 

      15


Table of Contents

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

recognized, net of state income taxes, $16 million of the deferred net gain from the LKEI and ILS transaction, which increased net earnings by $10 million ($0.02 per share).

In the second quarter of 2008, we recognized, net of state income taxes, $85 million in other income (expense), net due to the elimination of reserves related to various land sales in California. Reserves were originally recorded at the time of each land sale in 2007 and prior years based on the U.S. Government’s assertion that a significant portion of the sale proceeds should be allocated to the buildings and improvements on the properties, thereby giving the U.S. Government the right to share in the gains associated with the land sales. At the time the land sales occurred, we believed the value of the properties sold was attributable to the land versus the buildings and improvements. The dispute ultimately went to trial with the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA), subsequent to which the ASBCA determined that our accounting for the land sales was in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation and CAS. We reached a settlement with the U.S. Government in the second quarter of 2008, and the previously recorded reserves were no longer required. Resolution of this matter increased our net earnings in the second quarter by $56 million ($0.14 per share).

Long-term Debt

On June 26, 2008, our Board of Directors authorized and we announced the planned redemption of any and all of our $1.0 billion in original principal amount of floating rate convertible debentures that remained outstanding on August 15, 2008. As of August 15, 2008, all of the debentures had been delivered for conversion or were redeemed. The aggregate amount paid in cash subsequent to conversion of the debentures was $1.0 billion, representing the principal amount of the debentures relative to our conversion obligations, which was equal to the original principal amount of the debentures. In addition, the conversion rate for the debentures from the time of our announcement in June 2008 through August 15, 2008 was 13.7998 shares of common stock for each $1,000 in original principal amount of debentures, equating to a conversion price of $72.46. The conversion obligations in excess of the principal amount, computed based on the closing price of our common stock over the cash settlement averaging period as defined in the indenture, totaled $571 million, and resulted in the issuance of 5.0 million shares of our common stock. The issuance of the common shares for the conversion obligations was recognized in stockholders’ equity as a $5 million increase to common stock and a corresponding decrease to additional paid-in capital. Also, deferred tax liabilities of $69 million attributable to interest deductions associated with the debentures have been credited to additional paid-in capital due to their conversion.

In the first quarter of 2008, we issued $500 million of long-term notes. The notes have a fixed coupon interest rate of 4.12% and are due in 2013.

Stockholders’ Equity

Share Repurchase Program

We used cash to repurchase shares of our common stock as follows:

 

 

In the first nine months of 2009, $1,362 million to repurchase 18.3 million common shares that were executed and settled during the nine-month period; and

 

 

In the first nine months of 2008, $2,338 million to repurchase 22.1 million common shares that were executed and settled during the nine-month period, and an additional $18 million for 0.2 million common shares purchased in September 2008 that were settled in October 2008.

As we repurchase common shares under our share repurchase program, we reduce common stock for the $1 of par value of the shares repurchased, with the remainder of the purchase price

 

      16


Table of Contents

Lockheed Martin Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

over par value recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. If additional paid-in capital is reduced to zero, we record the remainder of the excess of purchase price over par value as a reduction of retained earnings.

Our share repurchase program provides for the repurchase of shares of our common stock from time-to-time at management’s discretion. In September 2009, our Board authorized the repurchase of an additional 20.0 million shares, bringing the total authorized for repurchase under the program to 178.0 million. As of September 27, 2009, we had repurchased a total of 142.6 million shares under the program, and there remained approximately 35.4 million shares that may be repurchased in the future.

Dividends

During the first nine months of 2009, we declared and paid quarterly dividends totaling $668 million ($0.57 per share per quarter). We also declared our fourth quarter 2009 dividend, which was increased to $0.63 per share. The fourth quarter dividend totaled $240 million and was recorded as a current liability and a reduction of retained earnings. This dividend will be paid in December 2009. In the first nine months of 2008, we declared and paid dividends totaling $510 million ($0.42 per share per quarter).

Comprehensive Income

The components of comprehensive income for the three months and nine months ended September 27, 2009 and September 28, 2008 consisted of the following:

Income Tax and Interest Payments

We made federal and foreign income tax payments, net of refunds received, of $702 million and $918 million during the nine-month periods ended September 27, 2009 and September 28, 2008. We have recorded liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits related to permanent and temporary tax adjustments which, exclusive of interest, totaled $216 million and $250 million as of September 27, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The decrease in the liability was primarily due to recognition of tax benefits related to resolution and settlement of issues with the IRS for years 2005-2007. We have protested to the IRS Appeals Division certain proposed adjustments related to tax years 2003-2004 and 2005-2007. We have adequately provided for those proposed adjustments.

Over the next 12 months, it is expected that the IRS examination of our U.S. Federal Income Tax Return for 2008, IRS Appeals review of issues for tax years 2003-2004 and 2005-2007, and certain non-domestic income tax issues will be resolved. It is reasonably possible that resolution of these matters could cause a reduction in our unrecognized tax benefits of up to $186 million, only a portion of which may affect net earnings.

Our total interest payments were $194 million and $226 million during the nine-month periods ended September 27, 2009 and September 28, 2008.

Derivative Financial Instruments

In the first quarter of 2009, we adopted a recently issued accounting standard which requires enhanced qualitative disclosures about our objectives and strategies for using derivatives and quantitative disclosures about the fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments.

We use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign currency exchange contracts are entered into to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk of forecasted foreign currency denominated cash receipts and cash payments. The majority of our foreign currency exchange contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. We may also use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates. Our financial instruments that are subject to interest rate risk principally include fixed rate long-term debt. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

We record derivatives at their fair value. 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 that we consider 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 income (loss) until the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings, to the extent these derivatives are effective hedges. Changes in the fair value of the derivatives that are attributable to the ineffective portion of the hedges, or of derivatives that are not considered to be highly effective hedges, if any, are immediately recognized in earnings. The aggregate notional amount of the outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts at September 27, 2009 was $1.8 billion. There were no interest rate derivatives outstanding at September 27, 2009.

The effect of our derivative instruments on the Statement of Earnings for the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2009 was not material. The fair values of our derivative assets and liabilities as of September 27, 2009 were $36 million and $21 million, and were recorded in other current assets and other current liabilities. These amounts were not material to our financial statements. See Note 7 for further discussion on the fair value measurements related to our derivative instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) revised its accounting guidance related to revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The guidance relates to the determination of when the individual deliverables included in a multiple-element arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting and modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the individual deliverables. Also, the guidance expands the disclosure requirements for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The guidance will be effective for us beginning on January 1, 2011, and may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or prospectively to arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. We are currently assessing the potential effect, if any, on our financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard which changes the approach to determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and requires companies to continuously assess whether they must consolidate VIEs. This standard is effective for us beginning on January 1, 2010. We are currently assessing the potential effect, if any, on our financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued an accounting standard which affects the accounting for certain convertible debt instruments. The standard was effective beginning with our first quarter

2009 financial reporting, requires retrospective application to all periods presented, and does not grandfather existing debt instruments. The standard would have changed the accounting for our previously outstanding $1.0 billion in original principal amount of floating rate convertible debentures in that it would have required that we bifurcate the proceeds from the debt issuance between a debt and equity component as of the August 2003 issuance date and through the August 2008 date that they were converted or redeemed. The equity component would have reflected the value of the conversion feature of the debentures. We did not adopt the provisions of the standard for the floating rate convertible debentures that were delivered for conversion or redeemed in August 2008, as the effect on our previously reported financial statements was not material.

In December 2007, the FASB issued an accounting standard which would have required that the noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries be presented as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the balance sheet, that the amount of consolidated net earnings attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest be separately presented in the statement of earnings, and that the amount of consolidated other comprehensive income attributable to the noncontrolling interest be separately disclosed. The standard also would have required gains or losses from the sale of stock of subsidiaries where control is maintained to be recognized as an equity transaction. The standard was effective beginning with our first quarter 2009 financial reporting. We did not adopt the presentation or disclosure provisions of this standard relative to our noncontrolling interests, as the effect on our financial statements was not material.

In the first half of 2009, we adopted accounting standards issued by the FASB related to the following topics, none of which had a material effect on our financial statements:

 

   

Accounting and disclosures for subsequent events;

 

   

Determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly;

 

   

Interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments;

 

   

Recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments;

 

   

Fair value disclosures related to certain non-financial assets and liabilities;

 

   

Determining whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities;

 

   

Revised accounting rules related to business combinations; and

 

   

Increased disclosures related to derivative financial instruments (see “Derivative Financial Instruments” section above).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors

Lockheed Martin Corporation

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Lockheed Martin Corporation as of September 27, 2009, and the related condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 27, 2009 and September 28, 2008, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 27, 2009 and September 28, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Lockheed Martin Corporation as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated February 24, 2009, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

September 27, 2009

We are a global security company that principally is engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, and sustainment of advanced technology systems and products. We provide a broad range of management, engineering, technical, scientific, logistic, and information services. We serve both domestic 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. Our sales to agencies of the U.S. Government, including those to the Department of Defense (DoD), represented 84% of our net sales in 2008. Of the remaining 16% of net sales, approximately 13% related to sales to foreign government customers (including foreign military sales funded, in whole or in part, by the U.S. Government), with the remainder attributable to commercial and other customers. Our main areas of focus are in defense, space, intelligence, homeland security, and government information technology.

We operate in four principal business segments: Electronic Systems, Information Systems & Global Services (IS&GS), Aeronautics, and Space Systems. As a lead systems integrator, our products and services range from electronics and information systems (including integrated net-centric solutions), to missiles, aircraft, and spacecraft.

The following discussion should be read along with our 2008 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

INDUSTRY CONSIDERATIONS UPDATE

Domestic policy issues, such as health care reform and continuing economic stimulus initiatives, remain at the forefront of the U.S. Government’s activities. In addition, debate over U.S. policy and troop levels in Afghanistan is consuming attention at the highest levels of the federal government.

The Congress is nearing completion of its review of the fiscal year 2010 budget. The Congress must approve or revise the President’s proposals contained in the February 2009 President’s budget request through enactment of appropriations bills and other policy legislation, which would then require final Presidential approval. As of October 1, 2009, the beginning of fiscal year 2010, only one appropriations bill had been signed into law – the Legislative appropriations bill. All other agencies of the federal government are funded through a Continuing Resolution for Appropriations that provides uninterrupted funding at fiscal year 2009 levels.

We are continuing to assess the effect of both the President’s fiscal year 2010 budget proposal and the ongoing Congressional review process on our future operations. We expect the outcome of the defense budget process to have a direct effect on our business, both as a prime contractor and a subcontractor on programs specifically targeted for expansion, completion, or termination.

We are paying close attention to the outcome of the Congressional review of the fiscal year 2010 defense budget, as the Department of Defense is our largest government customer. For example, the defense budget proposal would provide for stable or increased support for our F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter program, the Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) satellite program, the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) program, the Aegis Weapons System, and the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system, all of which appear to be receiving Congressional support.

The budget proposal also contemplates completion of the F-22 Raptor program after delivery of 187 aircraft, representing four more than currently under contract, cancellation of the VH-71 Presidential Helicopter (VH-71) program (although DoD expects to develop options for a fiscal year 2011 follow-on program), termination or restructuring of the Multiple Kill Vehicle (MKV) program, and cancellation of the Transformational Satellite (TSAT) program. In June 2009, we received notification that the VH-71 contract was terminated for convenience. We also received notification in June that the TSAT Mission Operations System (TMOS) contract, representing the ground support infrastructure for the TSAT program, was terminated for convenience. Funding for the additional four F-22 Raptor aircraft has been approved by Congress, although we have not yet contracted for that work. It appears unlikely that Congress will reverse the proposal to complete the F-22 program at 187 aircraft. We expect that all remaining authorized work on the MKV program will be completed in 2009, and that no further work will be authorized.

In cases where contracts are terminated “for convenience,” the U.S. Government typically would be required to pay us for any costs we have incurred or will incur as a result of commitments to purchase goods and services related to a particular contract under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. This also is true in cases where we perform subcontract work for a prime contractor under a U.S. Government contract. For the contracts for which we have received termination for convenience notices, we are in the process of assessing the impact of the terminations and expect to negotiate settlement agreements with our U.S. Government customers, and we currently do not anticipate that those terminations will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation taken as a whole.

The DoD also has stated its future intention to increase its staffing levels in order to move work scope currently performed by private contractors back to U.S. Government employees, although no specific programs or activities were announced. This work scope realignment potentially could reduce the level of work performed by outside contractors, including work on certain of our programs, over time.

In addition to recommendations related to specific programs, the DoD specified areas in which it would recommend increased funding, including intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) support for the warfighter, cybersecurity, helicopter maintenance and training, and lift, mobility, and refueling aircraft. These are areas in which we have a significant presence and believe we are well-positioned to take advantage of opportunities. Again, Congress appears poised to support most of the President’s budget proposals in these areas.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Since our operating cycle is long-term and involves many types of design, development, and production contracts with varying production delivery schedules, the results of operations of a particular quarter, or quarter-to-quarter comparisons of recorded sales and profits, may not be indicative of our future operating results. The following discussions of comparative results among periods should be viewed in this context. All per share amounts cited in the following discussions are presented on a “per diluted share” basis.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations (continued)

 

The following discussion of operating results provides an overview of our operations by focusing on key elements in our unaudited Statement of Earnings. The “Discussion of Business Segments” section which follows describes the contributions of each of our business segments to our consolidated net sales and operating profit for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 27, 2009 and September 28, 2008. We follow an integrated approach for managing the performance of our business, and focus the discussion of our results of operations around major lines of business versus distinguishing between products and services. Product sales are predominantly generated in the Electronic Systems, Aeronautics, and Space Systems segments, while most of our services revenues are generated in our IS&GS segment.

Net sales for the third quarter of 2009 were $11.1 billion, a 5% increase over the third quarter of 2008 sales of $10.6 billion. Net sales for the nine months of 2009 were $32.7 billion, a 3% increase over the $31.6 billion recorded in the comparable 2008 period. Sales increased during the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2009 from the comparable 2008 period in every business segment.

Other income (expense), net was $89 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared to $120 million recorded in the comparable 2008 period. Other income (expense), net for the nine months ended September 27, 2009 was $212 million compared to $401 million in the comparable 2008 period. In both periods, the decrease primarily was due to the absence in 2009 of certain items included in other income (expense), net in 2008 (see Note 8 under the caption “Matters Included in Earnings”).

Operating profit for the third quarter of 2009 was $1,085 million, a decrease of 13% from the $1,242 million recorded in the comparable 2008 period. Operating profit for the nine months ended September 27, 2009 was $3,225 million, a 15% decrease over the $3,783 million recorded in the comparable 2008 period. In both the third quarter and nine-month periods in 2009, operating profit increases in Aeronautics and Electronic Systems partially were offset by declines in Space Systems and IS&GS. In both the third quarter and nine-month periods in 2009, operating profit was also negatively affected by higher unallocated Corporate costs and a reduction in other income (expense), net as discussed above. The higher unallocated Corporate costs mainly were attributable to the increase in the FAS/CAS pension adjustment due to the increase in FAS pension expense.

Other non-operating income (expense), net for the third quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2009 was income of $54 million and $98 million, respectively, as compared to expense of $13 million and income of $14 million in the comparable 2008 periods. In both 2009 periods, the increase primarily was due to unrealized gains on marketable securities held to fund certain non-qualified employee benefit obligations.

Interest expense for the third quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2009 was $67 million and $219 million, respectively, as compared to $85 million and $264 million in the comparable 2008 periods. The decrease in both 2009 periods mainly was driven by the August 2008 redemption of our $1.0 billion of floating rate convertible debentures. The decrease in the 2009 nine-month period was partially offset by an increase in interest expense due to the $500 million of debt issued in the first quarter of 2008.

Our effective income tax rates were 25.7% and 29.2% for the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2009 and 31.6% and 32.2% for the quarter and nine months ended September 28, 2008. These rates were lower than the statutory rate of 35% for all periods due to tax benefits for U.S. manufacturing activities and dividends related to our employee stock ownership plans.

The effective tax rates for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 were lower than the comparable periods in 2008, primarily due to the resolution of an IRS examination of our U.S. Federal Income Tax Returns for the years 2005-2007 in the third quarter of 2009 that reduced

income tax expense by $58 million, and the extension of the research and development (R&D) credit as a result of the enactment on October 3, 2008, of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA) of 2008. Although EESA retroactively extended the R&D credit for two years from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2009, we did not recognize the benefit until EESA became law in the fourth quarter of 2008. In addition to these items, the effective tax rate for the nine-month period of 2009 was affected by the partial elimination of a valuation allowance previously provided against certain foreign company deferred tax assets arising from carryforwards of unused tax benefits.

Net earnings for the third quarter of 2009 were $797 million ($2.07 per share) compared to $782 million ($1.92 per share) reported in the third quarter of 2008. Net earnings for the nine months ended September 27, 2009 were $2,197 million ($5.61 per share) compared to $2,394 million ($5.82 per share) reported in the comparable 2008 period.

DISCUSSION OF BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The following tables of financial information and related discussions of the results of operations of our business segments are consistent with the presentation of segment information in Note 3 to the financial statements in this Form 10-Q. In our discussions of comparative results, changes in net sales and operating profit are expressed in terms of volume and/or performance. Volume refers to increases (or decreases) in sales resulting from varying production activity levels, deliveries, or service levels on individual contracts. Volume changes typically include a corresponding change in operating profit based on the estimated profit rate at completion for a particular contract for design, development, and production activities.

Performance refers to changes in contract profit booking rates. These changes to our contracts for products usually relate to profit recognition associated with revisions to total estimated costs at completion of the contracts that reflect improved (or deteriorated) operating or award fee performance on a particular contract. Changes in contract profit booking rates on contracts for products are recognized by recording adjustments in the current period for the inception-to-date effect of the changes on current and prior periods. Recognition of the inception-to-date adjustment in the current or prior periods may affect the comparison of segment operating results.

The Aeronautics segment generally includes fewer programs that have much larger sales and operating results than programs included in the other segments. Due to the large number of comparatively smaller programs in the remaining segments, the discussion of the results of operations of those business segments focuses on lines of business within the segment rather than on specific programs.

Electronic Systems

Electronic Systems’ operating results included the following:

Platforms & Training (P&T). The increase at MS2 mainly was due to higher volume on surface naval warfare, tactical systems and radar systems programs. The increase at M&FC primarily was due to growth on tactical missile and air defense programs. At P&T, lower volume on platform integration activities and distribution technology programs partially was offset by growth on simulation and training activities.

During the nine-month period, sales increased in all three lines of business. The increase at M&FC primarily was attributable to higher volume on tactical missile programs. The increase at MS2 mainly was due to higher volume on surface naval warfare, tactical systems and radar systems programs, which partially were offset by declines in integrated defense technology programs. At P&T, higher volume on simulation and training activities partially was offset by lower volume on platform integration and distribution technology programs. The increase in simulation and training also included sales from the first quarter 2009 acquisition of Universal Systems and Technology, Inc.

Operating profit for Electronic Systems increased by 7% for the quarter and 4% for the nine months of 2009 from the comparable 2008 periods. During the quarter, an increase in operating profit at M&FC more than offset declines at MS2 and P&T. The increase at M&FC mainly was due to higher volume and improved performance on tactical missile and air defense programs as well as improved performance on fire control systems. The decrease at MS2 primarily was attributable to a reduction in the level of favorable performance adjustments in 2009 compared to 2008 on tactical systems and surface naval warfare programs. The decline at P&T resulted from lower volume on platform integration activities and a reduction in the level of favorable performance adjustments in 2009 compared to 2008 on distribution technology programs.

During the nine-month period, increases in operating profit at M&FC and P&T more than offset a decline at MS2. The increase at M&FC mainly was due to higher volume on tactical missile programs and improved performance on fire control systems. The increase in P&T’s operating profit primarily was attributable to improved performance on platform integration activities and the benefit recognized in the first quarter of 2009 from favorably resolving a simulation and training contract matter. These increases partially were offset by declines in volume and a reduction in the level of favorable performance adjustments in 2009 compared to 2008 on distribution technology programs. The decrease at MS2 primarily was attributable to a reduction in the level of favorable performance adjustments in 2009 compared to 2008 on integrated defense technology and tactical systems programs.

Information Systems & Global Services

As previously disclosed, effective January 1, 2009, IS&GS redefined its lines of business to better align the segment based on its core customers and business activities. The new lines of business are as follows:

 

   

Civil – supports civil agency customer missions;

 

   

Defense – supports defense customer missions; and

 

   

Intelligence – supports intelligence customer missions.

 

      25

The realignment had no impact on the segment’s operating results. The prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the new lines of business. IS&GS’ operating results included the following:

 

     Quarter Ended    Nine Months Ended

(In millions)

   September 27,

   September 28,

   September 27,

Net sales

   $ 2,977    $ 2,950    $ 8,756    $ 8,312

Operating profit

   $ 244    $ 267    $ 734    $ 769

Net sales for IS&GS increased by 1% for the quarter and 5% for the nine months of 2009 from the comparable 2008 periods. During the quarter, the sales increase primarily was attributable to higher volume on enterprise civilian services in Civil. Sales for Defense and Intelligence were relatively unchanged between the quarters. During the nine-month period, increases in Defense and Civil partially were offset by declines in Intelligence. Defense sales primarily increased due to higher volume on mission and combat systems activities and readiness and stability operations. Civil increased principally due to higher volume on enterprise civilian services. Intelligence sales declined slightly between periods mainly due to lower volume on enterprise integration activities.

Operating profit for IS&GS decreased by 9% for the quarter and 5% for the nine months of 2009 from the comparable 2008 periods. During the quarter, operating profit declined in Intelligence and Defense and remained unchanged in Civil. The decrease in Intelligence mainly was due to a reduction in the level of favorable performance adjustments in 2009 compared to 2008 on security solutions activities. The decrease in Defense primarily was attributable to performance on global programs.

During the nine-month period, operating profit declines in Civil and Intelligence more than offset growth in Defense. The decrease in Civil primarily was attributable to the absence in 2009 of a benefit recognized in the first quarter of 2008 for a contract restructuring and the absence of a favorable performance adjustment recognized in the second quarter of 2008, both of which occurred on an enterprise civilian services program. The decrease in Intelligence mainly was due to lower volume on enterprise integration activities and a reduction in the level of favorable performance adjustments in 2009 compared to 2008 on security solution activities. The increase in Defense mainly was due to volume and improved performance in mission and combat systems and readiness and stability operations.

Aeronautics

Aeronautics’ operating results included the following:

 

     Quarter Ended    Nine Months Ended

Operating profit

   $ 397    $ 375    $ 1,151    $ 1,064

Net sales for Aeronautics increased by 6% for the quarter and 4% for the nine months of 2009 from the comparable 2008 periods. In both periods, sales increased in all three lines of business. The increase in Combat Aircraft principally was due to higher volume on the F-35 program, which more than offset lower volume on F-22 and F-16 programs. The increase in Air Mobility primarily was attributable to higher volume on the C-130J program, including deliveries

 

      26

and support activities. There were four C-130J deliveries in the third quarter of 2009 and three in the comparable 2008 period. There were ten C-130J deliveries in the nine-month period of 2009 and nine in the comparable 2008 period. The increase in Other Aeronautics Programs mainly was due to higher volume on advanced development programs and P-3 programs, which partially were offset by declines in other sustainment activities.

Operating profit for Aeronautics increased by 6% for the quarter and 8% for the nine months of 2009 from the comparable 2008 periods. In both periods, the growth in operating profit primarily was due to increases in Air Mobility and Other Aeronautics Programs, which partially were offset by declines in Combat Aircraft. The increase in Air Mobility operating profit primarily was due to higher volume on C-130J programs and improved performance on C-130 support programs. During the nine-month period, Air Mobility’s operating profit also increased due to improved performance on C-5 programs. The increase in Other Aeronautics Programs mainly was attributable to improved performance in sustainment activities and a favorable contract restructuring of a P-3 modification contract. The decrease in Combat Aircraft operating profit primarily was due to lower volume on the F-22 program and a reduction in the level of favorable performance adjustments in 2009 compared to 2008 on F-16 programs. These decreases more than offset increased operating profit resulting from higher volume and improved performance on the F-35 program.

Space Systems

Space Systems’ operating results included the following:

Net sales for Space Systems increased by 9% for the quarter and 1% for the nine months of 2009 from the comparable 2008 periods. During the quarter, sales growth at Satellites and Space Transportation more than offset a decline in Strategic & Defensive Missile Systems (S&DMS). The sales growth in Satellites was due to higher volume in commercial satellite and government satellite activities. There was one commercial satellite delivery in the third quarter of 2009. There were no commercial satellite deliveries during the third quarter of 2008. The increase in Space Transportation principally was due to higher volume on the Orion program in 2009. S&DMS’ sales decreased mainly due to lower volume on defensive missile programs.

During the nine-month period, growth in Satellites more than offset declines in sales at Space Transportation and S&DMS. The sales growth in Satellites was due to higher volume in government satellite activities, which partially was offset by lower volume in commercial satellite activities. There was one commercial satellite delivery during the nine-month period in 2009 and two deliveries in the comparable 2008 period. The decrease in Space Transportation primarily was due to lower volume in commercial launch vehicle activities in 2009. There were no commercial launches during the nine-month period of 2009 and one during the nine-month period of 2008. S&DMS’ sales decreased mainly due to lower volume on defensive missile programs, which more than offset growth in strategic missile programs.

Operating profit for Space Systems decreased by 3% for the quarter and 10% for the nine months of 2009 from the comparable 2008 periods. During the quarter, declines in operating profit in Satellites and S&DMS partially were offset by growth in Space Transportation. Satellites’ operating profit decreased primarily due to the absence of favorable 2008 performance

adjustments on government satellite programs in 2009, which more than offset an increase associated with the 2009 commercial satellite delivery. S&DMS’ operating profit declined slightly between periods. In Space Transportation, the increase mainly was attributable to higher equity earnings on the United Launch Alliance joint venture and volume on the Orion program.

During the nine-month period, operating profit declined in all three lines of business. Space Transportation’s operating profit decrease mainly was attributable to the absence in 2009 of a benefit recognized in 2008 from the successful negotiations of a terminated commercial launch vehicle contract and lower equity earnings in 2009 on the United Launch Alliance joint venture. The decrease in S&DMS’ operating profit primarily was attributable to a reduction in the level of favorable performance adjustments in 2009 compared to 2008 on strategic missile programs. In Satellites, the operating profit decrease mainly was due to lower volume in commercial satellite activities, which partially was offset by higher volume on government satellite activities.

The FAS/CAS pension adjustment resulted in expense in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 versus income in the prior-year periods due to the negative actual return on plan assets in 2008 and a lower discount rate at December 31, 2008. This trend is consistent with our expectations based on the assumptions we used in computing the FAS pension expense and CAS cost amounts as discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our 2008 Form 10-K under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies – Postretirement Benefit Plans.”

Certain items are excluded from segment results as part of senior management’s evaluation of segment operating performance consistent with the management approach permitted by the accounting standard for disclosures about business segments. For example, gains and losses related to the disposition of businesses or investments managed by Corporate, as well as certain other Corporate activities, are not considered by management in evaluating the operating performance of business segments. Therefore, for purposes of segment reporting, the following items were included in unallocated Corporate income (expense), net:

First, Second and Third Quarters of 2009 –

 

 

None

Although there were no such items included in unallocated Corporate income (expense), net during the quarter and nine-month period ended September 27, 2009, we resolved and settled the examination of our U.S. Federal Income Tax Returns for the years 2005-2007 in the third quarter (see Note 8). This item increased our net earnings by $58 million ($0.15 per share) during the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2009.

Third Quarter of 2008 –

 

 

A gain, net of state income taxes, of $44 million representing recognition of a portion of the deferred net gain recorded in connection with the transaction to sell our ownership interests in LKEI and ILS in 2006 (see Note 8).

First and Second Quarters of 2008 –

 

 

Earnings, net of state income taxes, of $85 million from the elimination of reserves associated with various land sales that occurred in prior years (see Note 8); and

 

 

A gain, net of state income taxes, of $16 million representing recognition of a portion of the deferred net gain recorded in connection with the transaction to sell our ownership interests in Lockheed Khrunichev Energia International, Inc. and International Launch Services, Inc. in 2006 (see Note 8).

On an aggregate basis, these items increased our net earnings by $28 million ($0.07 per share) and $94 million ($0.23 per share) during the quarter and nine-month period ended September 28, 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOWS

Our access to capital resources that provide liquidity has not been materially affected by the current credit environment, and at this point the environment appears to be improving. Our cash from operations continues to be sufficient to support our operations and anticipated capital expenditures. We have financing resources available (see discussion under Capital Resources) to fund potential cash outflows that are less predictable or more discretionary. We believe that we have access to credit, if needed, for liquidity or general corporate purposes, including letters of credit to support customer advance payments and for other trade finance purposes.

Adverse changes in economic and market conditions may impact our cost or availability of future borrowings, if any, in the debt markets; the fees we pay under our credit facilities; the cost or availability of providing letters of credit or other trade instruments to support our operating activities (e.g., guaranteeing our performance on particular contracts); our ability to structure financing for future long-term project finance, public-private initiatives, and joint venture activities, especially in international markets; counterparty credit risk as we engage in derivative transactions with financial institutions to hedge foreign currency exposures; and the ability of our suppliers and subcontractors to access credit to support their operations. We continually monitor

changes in such conditions so that we can timely respond to any related developments. During the past year, our operations and ability to access the credit markets have not been materially adversely affected by the changes in economic and market conditions.

We have a balanced cash deployment and disciplined growth strategy to enhance shareholder value and position ourselves to take advantage of new business opportunities when they arise. Consistent with that strategy, we have invested in our business (e.g., capital expenditures, independent research and development), made selective acquisitions of businesses, repurchased shares, increased our dividends, and opportunistically reduced and refinanced our debt. The following provides an overview of our execution of this strategy.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2009 was $3,778 million, which was $354 million higher than the same period in 2008. The increase from 2008 primarily was attributable to a noncash increase of $430 million in FAS pension expense coupled with a $206 million increase in cash provided by operating working capital. On a combined basis, these increases more than offset a decrease of $197 million in net earnings as well as a decline due to timing of changes in various other operating assets and liabilities. The increase in cash provided by operating working capital compared to 2008 primarily was due to timing of accounts payable activities and increases in customer advances and amounts in excess of costs incurred related to government and commercial satellite programs at Space Systems. These increases partially were offset by growth in accounts receivable as well as increases in inventories. The growth in accounts receivable primarily was due to higher volume on Combat Aircraft programs at Aeronautics and various programs in all three lines of business at Electronic Systems. Inventories increased primarily due to growth of Air Mobility programs at Aeronautics. Operating working capital accounts consist of receivables, inventories, accounts payable, and customer advances and amounts in excess of cost incurred.

Investing Activities

Capital expenditures – The majority of our capital expenditures relate to facilities infrastructure and equipment which are incurred to support new and existing programs across all of our business segments. We also incur capital expenditures for information technology (IT) to support programs and general enterprise IT infrastructure. Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment amounted to $481 million in the first nine months of 2009 and $503 million in the comparable 2008 period. We expect our annual capital expenditures over the next three years to be sufficient to support the expected growth in our business and to support specific program requirements.

Acquisitions, divestitures and other activities – We have a process to selectively identify businesses for acquisition that meet our strategic, operational, and financial targets; help build a balanced portfolio; and provide disciplined growth. We paid $420 million in the first nine months of 2009 and $195 million in the comparable 2008 period related to acquisition activities, including amounts paid for acquisitions completed in years prior to the respective periods. Divestiture activities in the first nine months of 2009 were not material. There were no divestiture activities in the first nine months of 2008.

During the first nine months of 2009, we increased our short-term investments by $389 million compared to a decrease of $262 million in the same period of 2008.

Financing Activities

Share activity and dividends – Cash received from the issuance of our common stock during the first nine months of 2009 related to the exercise of stock options and tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation totaled $48 million, compared to $332 million during the same period in 2008. Those activities resulted in the issuance of 0.7 million shares and 4.5 million shares during the respective periods.

We used $1,362 million and $2,338 million of cash to repurchase common shares during the first nine months of 2009 and 2008 (see Note 8 under the caption “Stockholders’ Equity”). These purchases were made under our share repurchase program. As of September 27, 2009, we had repurchased a total of 142.6 million shares under the program, and there remained 35.4 million shares that may be repurchased in the future, including 20.0 million additional shares that our Board authorized for repurchase under the program in September 2009. See Part II, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q, for additional information regarding the repurchase of shares during the third quarter of 2009.

During the first nine months of 2009, we paid dividends of $668 million compared to $510 million in the comparable 2008 period. We paid quarterly dividends of $0.57 per share in the first three quarters of 2009 compared to $0.42 per share during the same periods of 2008. We also declared our fourth quarter dividend of $240 million in September 2009, which was recorded as a current liability and a reduction of retained earnings. This dividend will be paid in December 2009. In September 2009, our board of directors authorized an increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.63 per share from $0.57 per share beginning with the fourth quarter of 2009.

Issuance and repayment of long-term debt – In the first quarter of 2008, we issued $500 million of long-term notes due in 2013. The notes have a fixed coupon interest rate of 4.12%. Cash provided from operations has been our principal source of funds to reduce our long-term debt. In the third quarter of 2008, we paid a total of $1.0 billion representing the principal amount of our floating rate convertible debentures that were delivered for conversion or otherwise redeemed, and issued 5.0 million shares of our common stock to satisfy conversion obligations of $571 million in excess of the principal amount (see Note 8 under the caption “Long-term Debt”). Repayments of long-term debt in the first nine months of 2009 were de minimis, compared to $103 million during the comparable 2008 period.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 27, 2009, we held cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.7 billion and short-term investments of $455 million. Our total debt, net of unamortized discounts, amounted to $3.8 billion at September 27, 2009, and is mainly in the form of publicly issued notes and debentures. Our debt-to-total capital ratio, net of unamortized discounts, was 55% at September 27, 2009 and 57% at December 31, 2008.

At September 27, 2009, we had in place a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility with a group of banks which expires in June 2012. There were no borrowings outstanding under the facility at September 27, 2009. We have agreements in place with banking institutions to facilitate the issuance of commercial paper. There were no commercial paper borrowings outstanding at September 27, 2009. If we were to issue commercial paper, the borrowings would be supported by the $1.5 billion credit facility.

We have an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission to provide for the issuance of an indeterminate amount of debt securities. If we were to issue debt under this shelf registration, we would expect to use the net proceeds for

general corporate purposes. These purposes may include repayment of debt, working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes.

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.

Our stockholders’ equity amounted to $3,140 million at September 27, 2009, a net increase of $275 million from December 31, 2008. The following items contributed to the net increase:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The foregoing discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based on the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingencies. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

During the nine months ended September 27, 2009, there were no significant changes to the critical accounting policies we disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2008 Form 10-K.

OTHER MATTERS

Postretirement Benefit Plans

As disclosed in our 2008 Form 10-K, the rules related to accounting for postretirement benefit plans under GAAP require that the amounts we record related to our postretirement benefit plans, including the expense or income for those plans, be computed using actuarial valuations. These valuations include many assumptions, including those we make regarding financial markets and other economic conditions. Changes in those assumptions can impact our total stockholders’ equity at any given year’s end, and the amount of expense we record for our postretirement benefits plans in the following year.

 

      32


Table of Contents

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations (continued)

 

One of the key year-end assumptions used is the discount rate, which we review annually. We evaluate several data points in order to arrive at an appropriate 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. An increase in the discount rate from year to year will decrease our benefit obligation, while a decrease will increase our benefit obligation. Changes in the benefit obligation due to changes in the discount rate, as well as the difference between our expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and our actual return, are reflected as adjustments to unrecognized net actuarial losses, which are recorded as an adjustment in stockholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive loss. This adjustment is amortized over time as part of future years’ expense for our postretirement benefit plans.

At the end of 2008, we used a discount rate assumption of 6.125% to measure the qualified pension benefit obligation, and used that rate and an assumed expected long-term rate of return on plan assets of 8.50% to determine the FAS pension expense for 2009. If we were to use those assumptions at year-end 2009, and assume that the actual rate of return for 2009 was equal to 8.50% and that we make further discretionary contributions of $1.0 billion to our defined benefit plans’ trust in 2009 (see Note 5), we estimate that our 2010 FAS/CAS pension adjustment would be an expense of approximately $495 million. We currently anticipate that we will make approximately $1.4 billion of contributions to our defined benefit plans’ trust in 2010.

A reasonably possible change of plus or minus 25 basis points in the 6.125% discount rate, with all other assumptions held constant, would decrease or increase our estimated 2010 FAS/CAS pension adjustment by approximately $95 million due to the change in the 2010 FAS pension expense. Additionally, the amount of the qualified pension benefit obligation we record at the end of 2009 would decrease or increase by approximately $900 million to $1.0 billion, resulting in an estimated noncash after-tax increase or decrease to stockholders’ equity at the end of 2009 by approximately $560 million to $660 million.

If we were to assume that the discount rate and expected long-term rate of return assumptions used at the end of 2008 were the same at the end of 2009, and further assume that our actual rate of return on plan assets for 2009 was 100 basis points greater than or less than our expected long-term rate of return assumption of 8.50%, with all other assumptions held constant, our estimated 2010 FAS/CAS pension adjustment would decrease or increase by approximately $10 million due to the change in the 2010 FAS pension expense. Additionally, the estimated after-tax increase or decrease to stockholders’ equity at the end of 2009 would be approximately $110 million to $120 million.

We will not finalize our postretirement benefit plan assumptions, or determine the actual return on plan assets, until year-end consistent with our December 31, 2009 measurement date.

Investment in United Launch Alliance

As of September 27, 2009, we and Boeing each had provided the $25 million of funding to ULA under the additional capital contribution commitment. Of that amount, $22 million was contributed in the second quarter of 2009, prior to which we each received a dividend from ULA in a like amount. Other than the $22 million contribution, we did not provide further funding to ULA during the first nine months of 2009.

In the fourth quarter of 2008, we and Boeing each received a $100 million dividend payment. Prior to distribution of that dividend, we, Boeing and ULA entered into an agreement whereby, if ULA does not have sufficient cash resources and/or credit capacity to make payments under the inventory supply agreement it has with Boeing, both we and Boeing would provide to ULA, in the form of an additional capital contribution, the level of funding required for ULA to make such payments. Such capital contributions would not exceed the aggregate amount of the dividends we received through June 1, 2009, which totaled $122 million. We currently believe that ULA

will have sufficient operating cash flows and credit capacity to meet its obligations such that we would not be required to make a contribution under this agreement.

In addition, both we and Boeing have cross-indemnified ULA related to certain financial support arrangements (e.g., letters of credit, surety bonds, or foreign exchange contracts provided by either party) and guarantees by us and Boeing of the performance and financial obligations of ULA under certain launch service contracts. We believe ULA will be able to fully perform its obligations, as it has done through September 27, 2009, and that it will not be necessary to make payments under the cross-indemnities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We maintain active relationships with a broad and diverse group of domestic and international financial institutions. We believe that they provide us with sufficient access to the general and trade credit we require to conduct business. We continue to 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. At September 27, 2009, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt instruments was approximately $4.9 billion, compared with a carrying value of $4.1 billion, excluding the $339 million unamortized discount.

We may use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Our foreign currency exchange contracts, the majority of which qualify for hedge accounting treatment, hedge the fluctuations in cash flows associated with firm commitments or specific anticipated transactions contracted in foreign currencies. Related gains and losses on these contracts, to the extent they are effective hedges, are recognized in income at the same time the hedged transaction is recognized in income. To the extent the hedges are ineffective, gains and losses on the contracts are recognized in the current period. At September 27, 2009, the net fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding was an asset of $15 million (see Note 8 under the caption “Derivative Financial Instruments”). We had no interest rate derivatives outstanding at September 27, 2009.

We evaluate the credit quality of potential counterparties to derivative transactions and only enter into agreements with those deemed to have minimal credit risk at the time the agreements are executed. Our foreign exchange hedge portfolio is diversified across several banks. We periodically 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 Rabbi Trust which includes investments to fund certain of our non-qualified deferred compensation plans. As of September 27, 2009, investments in the Rabbi Trust totaled $548 million and are reflected at fair value on our Balance Sheet in other assets. The Rabbi Trust holds investments in marketable equity securities and fixed-income securities that are exposed to price changes and changes in interest rates. Changes in the value of the Rabbi Trust are recognized on our Statement of Earnings in other non-operating income (expense), net. During the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2009, we recorded earnings totaling $52 million and $88 million related to the increase in the value of the Rabbi Trust assets. A portion of the liabilities associated with the deferred compensation plans supported by the Rabbi Trust is also impacted by changes in the market price of our common stock and certain market indices. Changes in the value of the deferred compensation liabilities are recognized on our Statement of Earnings in unallocated Corporate costs. The current portion of the deferred compensation plan liabilities is on our Balance Sheet in salaries, benefits, and payroll taxes, and the non-current portion of the liability is on our Balance Sheet in other liabilities. The resulting change in the value of the liabilities has the effect of partially offsetting the impact of changes in the value of the Rabbi Trust. During the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2009, we recorded expense of $20 million and $34 million related to the increase in the value of the deferred compensation liabilities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic filings with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating such controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to use its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As we do not control or manage these entities, our controls and procedures with respect to those entities are necessarily substantially more limited (in some cases, only that of a passive equity holder) than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.

We performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 27, 2009. The evaluation was performed with the participation of senior management of each business segment and key Corporate functions, and under the supervision of the CEO and CFO. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 27, 2009.

We routinely review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating the activities of two or more business units, and migrating certain processes to our Shared Services centers. In addition, when we acquire new businesses, we review the controls and procedures of the acquired business as part of our integration activities.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q contains statements which, to the extent that they are not recitations of historical fact, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, and are based on our current expectations and assumptions. The words “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan,” “outlook,” “forecast” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially due to factors such as:

 

   

The availability of government funding for our products and services both domestically and internationally;

 

   

Changes in government and customer priorities and requirements (including changes to respond to the priorities of Congress and the Administration, budgetary constraints, and cost-cutting initiatives);

 

   

The impact of economic recovery and stimulus plans and continued military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan on funding for existing defense programs;

 

   

The award or termination of contracts;

 

   

Actual returns (or losses) on pension plan assets, interest and discount rates, and other changes that may affect pension plan assumptions;

 

   

The effect of capitalization changes (such as share repurchase activity, advance pension funding, option exercises, or debt levels) on earnings per share;

 

   

Difficulties in developing and producing operationally advanced technology systems;

 

   

The timing and customer acceptance of product deliveries;

 

   

Materials availability and performance by key suppliers, subcontractors and customers;

 

   

Charges from any future impairment reviews that may result in the recognition of losses and a reduction in the book value of goodwill or other long-term assets;

 

   

The future impact of legislation, rulemaking, and changes in accounting, tax, defense procurement, or export policies;

 

   

The future impact of acquisitions or divestitures, joint ventures or teaming arrangements;

 

   

The outcome of legal proceedings and other contingencies (including lawsuits, government investigations or audits, and environmental remediation efforts);

 

   

The competitive environment for the Corporation’s products and services; and

 

   

Economic, business and political conditions domestically and internationally.

These are only some of the factors that may affect the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. For a discussion identifying additional important factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, see our filings with the SEC including, but not limited to, the discussions of “Government Contracts and Regulations” on pages 16 and 17 and “Risk Factors” on pages 18 through 24, respectively, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008; “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 21 through 34 of this Form 10-Q; and “Note 5 – Postretirement Benefit Plans” and “Note 6 – Legal Proceedings and Contingencies” of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on page 10 and pages 10 through 14, respectively, included in this Form 10-Q.

Our actual financial results likely will be different from those projected due to the inherent nature of projections. Given these uncertainties, you should not rely on forward-looking statements in making investment decisions. The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q speak only as of the date of its filing. We expressly disclaim a duty to provide updates to forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-Q to reflect subsequent events that have occurred, changed circumstances, changes in expectations, or the estimates and assumptions associated with them. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are intended to be subject to the safe harbor protection provided by the federal securities laws.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are a party to or have property subject to litigation and other proceedings, including matters arising under provisions relating to the protection of the environment, as described in “Note 6 – Legal Proceedings and Contingencies” in this Form 10-Q, and in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (Form 10-K). In the opinion of management and in-house counsel, the probability is remote that the outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation as a whole. The results of legal proceedings, however, cannot be predicted with certainty.

We are primarily engaged in providing products and services under contracts with the U.S. Government and, to a lesser degree, under direct foreign sales contracts, some of which are funded by the U.S. Government. These contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements and, from time to time, agencies of the U.S. Government investigate whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with these requirements. U.S. Government investigations of us, whether relating to these contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil, or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines, or penalties being imposed on us, or could lead to our suspension or debarment from future U.S. Government contracting. U.S. Government investigations often take years to complete and many result in no adverse action against us.

We are subject to federal and state requirements for protection of the environment, including those for discharge of hazardous materials and remediation of contaminated sites. As a result, we are a party to or have our property subject to various lawsuits or proceedings involving environmental protection matters. Due in part to their complexity and pervasiveness, such requirements have resulted in us being involved with related legal proceedings, claims, and remediation obligations. The extent of our financial exposure cannot in all cases be reasonably estimated at this time. For information regarding these matters, including current estimates of the amounts that we believe are required for remediation or clean-up to the extent estimable, see “Note 6 – Legal Proceedings and Contingencies” under the caption “Environmental Matters” in this Form 10-Q.

Like many other industrial companies in recent years, we are a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos integrated into our premises and certain historical products. We have never mined or produced asbestos and no longer incorporate it in any manufactured products. We have been successful in having a substantial number of these claims dismissed without payment. The remaining resolved claims have settled for amounts that are not material individually or in the aggregate. A substantial majority of the asbestos-related claims have been covered by insurance or other forms of indemnity. Based on the information currently available, we do not believe that resolution of these asbestos-related matters will have a material adverse effect upon the Corporation.

While we attempt to identify, manage, and mitigate risks and uncertainties associated with our business to the extent practical under the circumstances, some level of risk and uncertainty will always be present. Item 1A of our 2008 Form 10-K (pages 18 through 24) describes some of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, projected results, and future prospects. We do not believe that there have been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2008 Form 10-K.
