Cash Flows and Capital Deployment Activities

Cash from operations in the first quarter of 2022 was $1.4 billion. Capital expenditures were $268 million, resulting in free cash flow of $1.1 billion. The decreases in operating and free cash flows from the first quarter of 2021 were primarily due to lower segment operating profit and changes in working capital due to timing.

The company's capital deployment activities in the first quarter of 2022 included the following:

• paying cash dividends of $767 million; and
• paying $2.0 billion to repurchase 4.7 million shares (including 0.6 million shares received upon settlement of an accelerated share repurchase agreement (ASR) in April 2022).

Segment Results

The company operates in four business segments organized based on the nature of products and services offered: Aeronautics, Missiles and Fire Control (MFC), Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS) and Space. The following table presents summary operating results of the company's business segments and reconciles these amounts to the company's consolidated financial results.

Changes in net sales and operating profit generally are expressed in terms of volume. Changes in volume refer to increases or decreases in sales or operating profit resulting from varying production activity levels, deliveries or service levels on individual contracts. Volume changes in segment operating profit are typically based on the current profit booking rate for a particular contract. In addition, comparability of the company's segment sales, operating profit and operating margin may be impacted favorably or unfavorably by changes in profit booking rates on the company's contracts. Increases in profit booking rates, typically referred to as favorable profit adjustments, usually relate to revisions in the estimated total costs to fulfill the performance obligations that reflect improved conditions on a particular contract. Conversely, conditions on a particular contract may deteriorate, resulting in an increase in the estimated total costs to fulfill the performance obligations and a reduction in the profit booking rate and are typically referred to as unfavorable profit adjustments. Increases or decreases in profit booking rates are recognized in the current period and reflect the inception-to-date effect of such changes. For more information on factors impacting comparability of our segment sales, operating profit and operating margins, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2021.

The company's consolidated net adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments, represented approximately 24% of total segment operating profit in the first quarter of 2022, as compared to 28% in the first quarter of 2021.

Aeronautics 

	(in millions)		Quarters Ended
			March 27, 2022		March 28, 2021
	Net sales		$     6,401		$     6,387
	Operating profit		679		693
	Operating margin		10.6%		10.9%

Aeronautics' net sales during the first quarter of 2022 were comparable to the same period in 2021. Net sales increased by approximately $80 million for the F-16 program due to higher volume on production contracts that was partially offset by an unfavorable profit adjustment on a modernization contract. This increase was offset by lower net sales of approximately $65 million for the F-35 program due to lower net favorable profit adjustments and volume on production contracts that were partially offset by an unfavorable profit adjustment on a development contract in the first quarter of 2021 that did not recur in the first quarter of 2022.

Aeronautics' operating profit during the first quarter of 2022 decreased $14 million, or 2%, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower operating profit of approximately $50 million for the F-35 program due to lower net favorable profit adjustments and volume on production contracts that were partially offset by an unfavorable profit adjustment on a development contract in the first quarter of 2021 that did not recur in the first quarter of 2022; and about $25 million for the F-16 program due to an unfavorable profit adjustment on a modernization contract. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of approximately $30 million for the F-22 program due to higher net favorable profit adjustments; and about $20 million for classified contracts due to higher net favorable profit adjustments. Adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments, were $25 million lower in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

Missiles and Fire Control

	(in millions)		Quarters Ended
			March 27, 2022		March 28, 2021
	Net sales		$         2,452		$         2,749
	Operating profit		384		396
	Operating margin		15.7%		14.4%

MFC's net sales during the first quarter of 2022 decreased $297 million, or 11%, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower net sales of approximately $115 million for integrated air and missile defense programs due to lower volume and net favorable profit adjustments (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) and Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3)); about $80 million for tactical and strike missile programs due to lower volume (air dominance weapon systems, Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) and hypersonics); and approximately $75 million for sensors and global sustainment programs due to lower volume (Special Operations Forces Global Logistics Support Services (SOF GLSS) and lower volume and net favorable profit adjustments on Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod (SNIPER^®)), partially offset by the effect of a favorable profit adjustment on an international program as a result of a requirements modification in the first quarter of 2022.

MFC's operating profit during the first quarter of 2022 decreased $12 million, or 3%, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower operating profit of approximately $45 million for integrated air and missile defense programs due to lower net favorable profit adjustments and volume (THAAD and PAC-3), and about $10 million for tactical and strike missile programs due to lower volume (ATACMS and hypersonics). These decreases were partially offset by an increase of about $50 million for sensors and global sustainment programs primarily due to the effect of a favorable profit adjustment on an international program described above, partially offset by lower net favorable profit adjustments (SNIPER). Adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments, were $15 million higher in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

Rotary and Mission Systems

	(in millions)		Quarters Ended
			March 27, 2022		March 28, 2021
	Net sales		$     3,552		$     4,107
	Operating profit		348		433
	Operating margin		9.8%		10.5%

RMS' net sales during the first quarter of 2022 decreased $555 million, or 14%, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower net sales of approximately $315 million for training and logistics solutions (TLS) programs primarily due to the delivery of an international pilot training system in the first quarter of 2021 that did not recur in the first quarter of 2022; about $150 million for integrated warfare systems and sensors (IWSS) programs due to lower volume (Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), TPQ-53, and Aegis); approximately $50 million for various C6ISR (command, control, communications, computers, cyber, combat systems, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) programs due to lower volume; and approximately $40 million for Sikorsky helicopter programs due to lower production volume on the Black Hawk and VH-92A programs that was partially offset by higher production volume on the Combat Rescue Helicopter (CRH), Seahawk and CH-53K programs.

RMS' operating profit during the first quarter of 2022 decreased $85 million, or 20%, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to approximately $35 million for various C6ISR programs due to lower net favorable profit adjustments, about $30 million for IWSS programs due to lower net favorable profit adjustments (Aegis); and approximately $15 million for Sikorsky helicopter programs due to lower net favorable profit adjustments (Black Hawk). Operating profit for TLS programs was comparable due to the delivery of an international pilot training system in the first quarter of 2021 that did not recur in the first quarter of 2022, offset by higher net favorable profit adjustments on various other programs. Adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments, were $55 million lower in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

Space

	(in millions)		Quarters Ended
			March 27, 2022		March 28, 2021
	Net sales		$     2,559		$     3,015
	Operating profit		245		227
	Operating margin		9.6%		7.5%

Space's net sales during the first quarter of 2022 decreased $456 million, or 15%, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower net sales of approximately $440 million due to the previously announced renationalization of the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) program on June 30, 2021, which was no longer included in the company's financial results beginning in the third quarter of 2021; and about $95 million for commercial civil space programs due to lower volume (Orion and human lander system (HLS) programs). These decreases were partially offset by higher net sales of about $100 million for strategic and missile defense programs due to higher development volume (Next Generation Interceptor (NGI)).

Space's operating profit during the first quarter of 2022 increased $18 million, or 8%, compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to approximately $35 million of higher equity earnings from the company's investment in United Launch Alliance (ULA) driven by higher launch volume. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $30 million for commercial civil space programs due to lower net favorable profit adjustments and volume (the HLS program). Operating profit for the AWE program was comparable as its operating profit in the first quarter of 2021 was mostly offset by accelerated amortization expense for intangible assets as a result of the renationalization. Adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments, were $25 million lower in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

Total equity earnings/(losses) (primarily ULA) represented approximately $30 million, or 12%, of Space's operating profit in the first quarter of 2022, compared to approximately $(5) million, or (2)%, in the first quarter of 2021.

Income Taxes

The company's effective income tax rate was 15.9% and 16.9% for the quarters ended March 27, 2022 and March 28, 2021. The rate for the first quarter of 2022 is lower due to increased tax deductions for employee equity awards and foreign derived intangible income compared to the first quarter of 2021. The rates for both periods also benefited from the research and development tax credit and dividends paid to the corporation's defined contribution plans with an employee stock ownership plan feature.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release contains the following non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) financial measures (as defined by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation G). While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in evaluating the financial performance of the company, this information should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company's definitions for non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies or analysts.

Business segment operating profit

Business segment operating profit represents operating profit from the company's business segments before unallocated income and expense. This measure is used by the company's senior management in evaluating the performance of its business segments and is a performance goal in the company's annual incentive plan. Business segment operating margin is calculated by dividing business segment operating profit by sales. The table below reconciles the non-GAAP measure business segment operating profit with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, consolidated operating profit.

	(in millions)		Current 2022 Outlook
	Business segment operating profit (non-GAAP)		~$7,175
	FAS/CAS operating adjustment1		~1,705
	Other, net		~(500)
	Consolidated operating profit (GAAP)		~$8,380
1	Reflects the amount by which expected total CAS pension cost of $1.8 billion, exceeds the expected FAS pension service cost of $95 million. Excludes $555 million of expected non-service FAS pension income. Refer to the supplemental table "Selected Financial Data" included in this news release for a detail of the FAS/CAS operating adjustment.

Free cash flow

Free cash flow is cash from operations less capital expenditures. The company's capital expenditures are comprised of equipment and facilities infrastructure and information technology (inclusive of costs for the development or purchase of internal-use software). The company uses free cash flow to evaluate its business performance and overall liquidity and is a performance goal in the company's annual and long-term incentive plans. The company believes free cash flow is a useful measure for investors because it represents the amount of cash generated from operations after reinvesting in the business and that may be available to return to stockholders and creditors (through dividends, stock repurchase and debt repayments) or available to fund acquisitions. The entire free cash flow amount is not necessarily available for discretionary expenditures, however, because it does not account for certain mandatory expenditures, such as the repayment of maturing debt.

Total FAS/CAS pension adjustment – adjusted

Total FAS/CAS pension adjustment for 2021 is used in one of the supplemental tables to this release. It has been adjusted for a noncash, non-operating pension settlement charge of $1.7 billion recognized in the third quarter of 2021. Management believes that the exclusion of the pension settlement charge related to the accelerated recognition of actuarial losses previously included in accumulated other comprehensive loss for certain pension plans as a result of the purchase of group annuity contracts from an insurance company, is useful to understanding the company's underlying business performance and comparing performance from period to period.
