ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION - (UNAUDITED) | |
DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS | |
(a) | Debt-to-equity ratio is calculated as total debt divided by total equity as of year end. |
(b) | Debt-to-capital ratio is calculated as total debt divided by the sum of total debt plus total equity as of year end. |
(c) | Book value per share is calculated as total equity divided by total outstanding shares as of year end. |
(d) | Includes independent research and development and Aerospace product-development costs. |
(e) | Return on sales is calculated as net earnings divided by revenue. |
(f) | Return on equity is calculated by dividing net earnings by our average equity during the year. |
(g) | We believe earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a useful measure for investors because it provides another measure of our profitability and our ability to service our debt. We calculate EBITDA by adding back interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to net earnings. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA is net earnings. |
(h) | We believe free cash flow from operations is a useful measure for investors because it portrays our ability to generate cash from our businesses for purposes such as repaying maturing debt, funding business acquisitions, repurchasing our common stock and paying dividends. We use free cash flow from operations to assess the quality of our earnings and as a key performance measure in evaluating management. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to free cash flow from operations is net cash provided by operating activities. |
(i) | We believe return on invested capital (ROIC) is a useful measure for investors because it reflects our ability to generate returns from the capital we have deployed in our operations. We use ROIC to evaluate investment decisions and as a performance measure in evaluating management. We define ROIC as net operating profit after taxes divided by average invested capital. Net operating profit after taxes is defined as net earnings plus after-tax interest and amortization expense, calculated using the statutory federal income tax rate. Average invested capital is defined as the sum of the average debt and shareholders' equity excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss. ROIC excludes goodwill impairments and non-economic accounting changes as they are not reflective of company performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to net operating profit after taxes is net earnings. |

(a) | The estimated potential contract value includes work awarded on unfunded indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts and unexercised options associated with existing firm contracts, including options and other agreements with existing customers to purchase new aircraft and aircraft services. We recognize options in backlog when the customer exercises the option and establishes a firm order. For IDIQ contracts, we evaluate the amount of funding we expect to receive and include this amount in our estimated potential contract value. The actual amount of funding received in the future may be higher or lower than our estimate of potential contract value. |
(b) | Effective December 31, 2020, we have reorganized our Mission Systems and Information Technology business units into a single reporting unit — Technologies — to better reflect the way we are running the business, the overlap and commonality of customers, and customer demand for end-to-end solutions melding technology, hardware and software. |
