In this section, we describe our business, including our business segments, product lines, customers, operations and other considerations.
Business Segments
We operate in five business segments:
| |
| – | Integrated Defense Systems; |
| |
| – | Intelligence, Information and Services; |
| |
| – | Space and Airborne Systems; and |
The following is a description of each of our business segments. As part of the description, we include a discussion of some of the segment’s notable initiatives and achievements in 2019, such as certain key contract awards and new product introductions.

Our principal U.S. government customer is the DoD; other U.S. government customers include U.S. Intelligence Community agencies, NASA, the DHS and the FAA.
U.S. Government Contracts and Regulation
We act as a prime contractor or major subcontractor for numerous U.S. government programs. As a result, we are subject to extensive regulations and requirements of the U.S. government agencies and entities that govern these programs, including with respect to the award, administration and performance of contracts under such programs. We are also subject to certain unique business risks associated with U.S. government program funding and appropriations, U.S. government contracts, and supplying technologically-advanced, cutting-edge defense-related products and services to the U.S. government.
U.S. government contracts generally are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which sets forth policies, procedures and requirements for the acquisition of goods and services by the U.S. government; department-specific regulations that implement or supplement the FAR, such as the DoD's Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS); and other applicable laws and regulations. These regulations impose a broad range of requirements, many of which are unique to government contracting, including various procurement, import and export, security, contract pricing and cost, contract termination and adjustment, audit and product integrity requirements. A contractor's failure to comply with these regulations and requirements could result in reductions to the value of contracts, contract modifications or termination, cash withholds on contract payments, forfeiture of profits, and the assessment of penalties and fines, and could lead to suspension or debarment, for cause, from U.S. government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time. In addition, government contractors are also subject to routine audits and investigations by U.S. government agencies such as the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) and Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA). These agencies review a contractor's performance under its contracts, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. The DCAA and DCMA also review the adequacy of and a contractor's compliance with its internal control systems and policies, including the contractor's accounting, purchasing, property, estimating, earned value management and material management accounting systems. For
a discussion of certain risks associated with compliance with U.S. government contract regulations and requirements, see Item 1A of this Form 10-K.
U.S. government contracts include both cost reimbursement and fixed-price contracts. Cost reimbursement contracts, subject to a contractual cost-ceiling amount in certain cases, provide for the reimbursement of allowable costs plus the payment of a fee. These contracts fall into three basic types: (1) cost-plus fixed fee contracts which provide for the payment of a fixed fee irrespective of the final cost of performance; (2) cost-plus incentive fee contracts which provide for increases or decreases in the target incentive fee, within specified limits, based upon actual cost results compared to contractual cost targets; and (3) cost-plus award fee contracts which provide for the payment of an award fee determined at the discretion of the customer based upon the performance of the contractor against pre-established criteria. Under cost reimbursement contracts, the contractor is reimbursed periodically for allowable costs and is paid a portion of the fee based on contract progress. Some costs incidental to performing contracts have been made partially or wholly unallowable for reimbursement by statute, the FAR or other regulation. Examples of such costs include charitable contributions, certain merger and acquisition costs, lobbying costs, interest expense and certain litigation defense costs. We also classify time-and-materials (T&M) contracts as cost reimbursement contracts as they are typically used to cover certain contract costs plus a set amount of fee.
Fixed-price contracts are predominantly either firm fixed-price (FFP) contracts or fixed-price incentive (FPI) contracts. Under FFP contracts, the contractor agrees to perform a specific scope of work for a fixed price and as a result, benefits from cost savings and carries the burden of cost overruns. Under FPI contracts, the contractor shares with the U.S. government savings accrued from contracts performed for less than target costs and costs incurred in excess of target costs up to a negotiated ceiling price (which is higher than the target costs) and carries the entire burden of costs exceeding the negotiated ceiling price. Accordingly, under such contracts, the contractor's profit may also be adjusted up or down depending upon whether specified cost objectives are met. Under FFP and FPI type contracts, the contractor usually receives either negotiated performance-based payments (PBPs) or monthly progress payments from the U.S. government generally in amounts equaling 80% of costs incurred under U.S. government contracts. The remaining amount, including profits or incentive fees, is billed upon delivery and acceptance of end items under the contract. The DoD has expressed a preference to utilize FPI as opposed to FFP contracts. In the event we experience a greater proportion of FPI contracts and/or progress payments for our fixed-price DoD contracts in the future than historically, it could have an adverse effect on our operating margins, cash flow and liquidity. For a discussion of certain risks associated with fixed-price and cost reimbursement contracts and risks associated with changes in U.S. government procurement rules, regulations and business practices, see Item 1A of this Form 10-K.
U.S. government contracts generally also permit the government to terminate the contract, in whole or in part, without prior notice, at the U.S. government's convenience or for default based on performance. If a contract is terminated for convenience, the contractor is generally entitled to payments for its allowable costs and will receive some allowance for profit on the work performed. If a contract is terminated for default, the contractor is generally entitled to payments for its work that has been accepted by the U.S. government, but a termination arising out of our default could expose us to liability and have a negative impact on our ability to obtain future contracts and orders. The U.S. government's right to terminate its contracts has not had a material adverse effect upon our operations, financial condition or liquidity. For a discussion of the risks associated with the U.S. government's right to terminate its contracts, see Item 1A of this Form 10-K.
U.S. government programs generally are implemented by the award of individual contracts and subcontracts. Congress generally appropriates funds on a fiscal year basis even though a program may extend across several fiscal years. Consequently, programs are often only partially funded initially and additional funds become contractually obligated only if Congress makes further appropriations. The contracts and subcontracts under a program generally are subject to termination for convenience or adjustment if appropriations for such programs are not available or change. The U.S. government is required to equitably adjust a contract price for additions or reductions in scope or other changes ordered by it. For a discussion of the risks associated with program funding and appropriations, see Item 1A and “Overview” within Item 7 of this Form 10-K. In addition, because we are engaged in supplying technologically-advanced, cutting-edge defense-related products and services to the U.S. government, we are subject to certain business risks, some of which are specific to our industry. These risks include: (1) the cost and ability to attract and retain trained, skilled and qualified employees; (2) the uncertainty and instability of prices and supply of raw materials and components; (3) the problems associated with advanced designs, which may result in unforeseen technological difficulties and cost overruns; (4) the intense competition and the constant necessity for improvement in facility utilization and personnel training; and (5) the impact of potential security and cyber threats. Our sales to the U.S. government may be affected by changes in procurement policies, budget considerations, changing priorities for national defense, global
political environments and other factors. See Item 1A and “Overview” within Item 7 of this Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion of these and other related risks.

| (1) | Includes foreign military sales through the U.S. government of $4,198 million, $3,502 million and $3,311 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. |
Our international sales are conducted through Raytheon Company and certain U.S. and international subsidiaries. For example, Raytheon Systems Limited (RSL), a U.K. subsidiary, provides a wide range of products and services, most notably with our MS, SAS and IIS business segments, to commercial, defense and other government customers in the U.K. and globally. Raytheon Australia delivers integrated solutions to the Australian Defence Force, most notably with our IDS and IIS business segments. Generally, we internally fund our international subsidiary working capital requirements in the applicable countries. In connection with certain international sales, we utilize the services of sales representatives who are paid commissions in return for services rendered, and international consultants and advisors who are typically paid a fixed retainer fee. Our Forcepoint business segment also sells certain products and services, both domestically and internationally, primarily through a network of distributors and value-added resellers.
Sales and income from international operations and investments are subject to U.S. government laws, regulations and policies, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and other anti-corruption sanctions and export laws and regulations. Depending on the type of international sale, Raytheon must either seek approvals from the U.S. government under the foreign military sales process or may require an export authorization and the issuance of a license by either the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Commerce or the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Such licenses and authorizations may be denied or delayed for reasons of U.S. national security or foreign policy. In addition, for certain international sales, the Department of State must notify Congress prior to authorizing such exports. Congress may also take action to block or delay certain proposed defense sales.
Our international sales are also subject to foreign government laws, regulations and procurement policies and practices in addition to U.S. government requirements. In addition, our international business is sensitive to changes in the priorities and budgets of international customers and geopolitical uncertainties, which may be driven by changes in threat environments, volatility in worldwide economic conditions, regional and local economic and political factors, U.S. foreign policy and other risks and uncertainties. Additional information regarding the risks associated with our international business is contained in Item 1A of this Form 10-K.
Classified Sales
Classified sales include U.S. government sales on programs designated as classified by the U.S. government, as well as international sales on programs for which the customer, end user or end product is prohibited from being publicly disclosed. Total classified sales as a percentage of total net sales were 20% in 2019, 19% in 2018 and 17% in 2017. The operating results of these classified programs are included in the applicable business segment's and our consolidated results of operations. The business risks and considerations associated with these classified programs generally do not differ materially from those of our other U.S. government and international programs and products.

Approximately half of the December 31, 2019 year-end backlog is not expected to be filled during the following 12 months. These amounts include both funded backlog (unfilled orders for which funding is authorized, appropriated and contractually obligated by the customer) and unfunded backlog (firm orders for which funding has not been appropriated or obligated to us). For additional information related to backlog figures, see “Segment Results” within Item 7 of this Form 10-K.
Competition
We directly participate in most major areas of development in the defense and government electronics, space, information technology and technical services and support markets. Technical superiority, reputation, price, past performance, delivery schedules, and reliability are among the principal competitive factors considered by customers in these markets. We conduct extensive research and development activities to continually enhance our existing products and services and develop new products and services to meet our customers’ changing needs and requirements, and address new market opportunities. We also compete in the commercial cybersecurity market, which is characterized by rapid changes in technology, products, customer specifications and industry standards. We compete worldwide with a number of U.S. and international companies in these markets, some of which may have more extensive or more specialized engineering, manufacturing and marketing capabilities than we do in some areas. We frequently partner on various programs with our major suppliers, some of whom are, from time to time, competitors on other programs. In addition, U.S. defense spending levels in the future are difficult to predict. Changes in U.S. defense spending may potentially limit certain future market opportunities. See Item 1A and “Overview” within Item 7 of this Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion of these and other related risks.
Raw Materials, Suppliers and Seasonality
We are dependent upon the availability of materials and major components and the performance of our suppliers and subcontractors. Some products require relatively scarce raw materials and parts. We generally have not experienced significant difficulties in procuring the necessary raw materials, components and other supplies for our products. However, consolidations and business closures among our suppliers may affect our ability to do so. In addition, our suppliers may experience materials or parts shortages for various reasons, including as a result of geopolitical and international trade developments. Further, some scarce raw materials required for our products are largely controlled by a single country, and therefore the ability to source those materials is dependent on U.S. relations with that country.
In addition, we must comply with specific procurement requirements which may, in effect, limit the suppliers and subcontractors we may utilize. In some instances, for a variety of reasons, we are dependent on sole-source suppliers. We enter into long-term or volume purchase agreements with certain suppliers and take other actions to ensure the availability of needed materials, components and subsystems. We are also dependent on suppliers to provide genuine original equipment manufacturer parts and have a robust set of standardized policies to detect counterfeit material, especially electronic components, throughout our supply chain. For a discussion of the risks associated with our raw materials and suppliers, see Item 1A of this Form 10-K.
In recent years, our revenues in the second half of the year have generally exceeded revenues in the first half. Some of the factors that can affect revenue recognition between accounting periods include the timing of new program awards (including international contract awards and approvals), the availability of U.S. government funding, product deliveries (which are dependent on availability of materials) and customer acceptance. We expect this trend to continue in 2020. Additional
information regarding the risks associated with our raw materials, suppliers, and seasonality is contained in Item 1A of this Form 10-K.
Intellectual Property
We own an intellectual property portfolio that includes many U.S. and foreign patents, as well as unpatented trade secrets and know-how, data, software, trademarks and copyrights, all of which contribute to the preservation of our competitive position in the market, and our ability to continue to compete in the market. In certain instances, we have augmented our technology base by licensing the proprietary intellectual property of others. We also license our intellectual property to others, including our customers. The U.S. government has licenses to certain of our intellectual property, including certain patents, developed in the performance of U.S. government contracts, and has the right to use and authorize others to use such intellectual property, including the inventions covered by such patents, for U.S. government purposes. Foreign governments may also have licenses to certain of our intellectual property in connection with our performance of foreign government contracts. While our intellectual property rights in the aggregate are important to our operations, we do not believe that any particular trade secret, patent, trademark, copyright, license or other intellectual property right is of such importance that its loss, expiration or termination would have a material effect on our business. Additional information regarding the risks associated with our intellectual property is contained in Item 1A of this Form 10-K.
Employment
As of December 31, 2019, we had approximately 70,000 employees.
Environmental Regulation
Our operations are subject to and affected by a variety of international, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. A criminal violation of certain U.S. environmental statutes such as the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act could result in suspension, debarment or disqualification by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). A facility determined to be in violation of the criminal provisions of these statutes can be prohibited from performing any U.S. government contract work until the violation has been corrected and the EPA approves the reinstatement of the facility.
We have potential exposure for environmental remediation at various sites: (1) owned or operated by us, whether currently or in the past; (2) where we have been named a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) by the EPA or similarly named by an international, state or local government entity; and (3) where a non-governmental third party is pursuing a cost recovery or contribution claim against us. Under existing U.S. environmental laws, liability for site remediation is generally “joint and several,” meaning that the liable party could become solely responsible for the full cost of funding the remediation. Liable parties typically agree amongst themselves to share, on an allocated basis, the costs and expenses of the remediation. In the unlikely event that we are required to fund more than our share or the entire cost of remediation of a site, the statutory framework provides that we may pursue rights of contribution from other responsible parties.
We have provided for our estimated share of the costs to complete environmental remediation where we have determined that it is probable that we will incur such costs in the future and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The timing and costs of environmental remediation are difficult to estimate due to uncertainties regarding: (1) the extent of the remediation; (2) the discovery and application of innovative remediation technologies; and (3) the status and interpretation of laws and regulations. Our estimates do not reflect the possibility that we may recover some of our costs from insurance or from pursuing other parties. For multi-party sites, we expect that the actual cost of remediation will be shared among liable parties and our estimates do not reflect the unlikely event that we would be required to fund more than our share or the entire cost of remediation of a site. In addition, the majority of our costs are eligible for future recovery through the pricing of our products and services to the U.S. government.
We manage various government-owned facilities on behalf of the U.S. government. At such facilities, environmental compliance and remediation costs have historically been primarily the responsibility of the U.S. government and we have relied (and continue to rely with respect to past practices) upon U.S. government funding to pay such costs. While the government remains responsible for capital and operating costs associated with environmental compliance, responsibility for fines and penalties associated with environmental noncompliance is typically borne by either the U.S. government or the contractor, depending on the contract and the relevant facts. Fines and penalties are unallowable costs under the contracts pursuant to which such facilities are managed.
Additional information regarding the effect of compliance with environmental protection requirements and the resolution of environmental claims against us and our operations, including expected remediation costs, is contained in Item 1A, “Commitments and Contingencies” within Item 7 and “Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies” within Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
This Form 10-K and the information we are incorporating by reference contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws, including information regarding our financial outlook, future plans, objectives, business prospects, products and services, trends and anticipated financial performance including with respect to: the timing and expected completion and impact of the proposed merger with United Technologies Corporation (UTC); our revenue; our liquidity and capital resources; our bookings and backlog; our international sales, including our ability to do business in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and future delays in the Congressional Notification process and/or other potential challenges related to sales to certain foreign customers; cybersecurity sales; our pension, other postretirement benefit (PRB), nonqualified defined benefit and defined contribution plans expense and funding; our recognition of revenue on certain performance obligations; our expectations regarding customer demand and contracts; seasonality of our business; our capital expenditures; our amortization expense; the impact of new accounting pronouncements and tax regulations; our expected tax payments; our unrecognized tax benefits; our reclassifications of gains or losses on cash flow hedges; the impact of acquisitions, investments and other business arrangements and the tax deductibility of goodwill; the impact and outcome of audits and legal and administrative proceedings, claims, investigations, commitments and contingencies; the impact of certain regional developments; delays and disruptions in delivery of materials and services from suppliers; the impact of changes in fair value of our reporting units; delays and disruption in delivery of materials and services from Turkish suppliers; the impact of changes in foreign currency rates; the impact of Brexit; the impact of competition; growth in our cyber business; as well as information regarding domestic and international defense spending, budgets and business practices. You can identify these statements by the fact that they include words such as “will,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” or variations of these words, or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are not statements of historical facts and represent only our current expectations regarding such matters. These statements inherently involve a wide range of known and unknown uncertainties. Our actual actions and results could differ materially from what is expressed or implied by these statements. Specific factors that could cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those set forth below and other important factors disclosed previously and from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Given these factors, as well as other variables that may affect our operating results, you should not rely on forward-looking statements, assume that past financial performance will be a reliable indicator of future performance, or use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. We expressly disclaim any obligation or intention to provide updates to the forward-looking statements and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, except as required by law.
We depend on the U.S. government for a substantial portion of our business, and changes in U.S. government defense spending and priorities could impact our financial position, results of operations and overall business.
In 2019, U.S. government sales, excluding foreign military sales, accounted for approximately 69% of our total net sales. Our U.S. government revenues largely result from contracts awarded under various U.S. government programs, primarily defense-related programs with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), and a broad range of programs with the U.S. Intelligence Community and other departments and agencies. Our programs are subject to U.S. government policies, budget decisions and appropriation processes which are driven by numerous factors including: (1) geopolitical events; (2) macroeconomic conditions; and (3) the ability of the U.S. government to enact relevant legislation, such as appropriations bills.
In recent years, U.S. government appropriations have been affected by larger U.S. government budgetary issues and related legislation. The Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA) established specific limits on annual appropriations for fiscal years (FY) 2012–2021, but was amended a number of times leading to fluctuations and unpredictability in annual DoD funding levels. As compared to the relevant preceding year, the DoD budget fell in FY 2013, remained essentially flat for FY 2014 and 2015, and increased each year from FY 2016 to 2020. BCA caps were raised for FY 2021 from their original level, and FY 2021 DoD funding is expected to be similar to FY 2020. Further, the DoD budget requires the agreement and action of both Congress and the President. In addition, in previous years the U.S. government has been unable to complete its budget process before the end of its fiscal year, resulting in both governmental shut-downs and Continuing Resolutions (CRs) providing only enough funds for U.S. government agencies to continue operating at prior year levels. Further, if the U.S. government debt ceiling is not raised and the national debt reaches the statutory debt ceiling, the U.S. government could default on its debts.
As a result, U.S. government defense spending levels are subject to a wide range of outcomes and are difficult to predict beyond the near-term due to numerous factors, including the external threat environment, future governmental priorities and the state of governmental finances. Significant changes in U.S. government defense spending or changes in U.S. government priorities, policies and requirements could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Our financial results largely are dependent on our ability to perform on our U.S. government contracts, which are subject to uncertain levels of funding and timing, as well as termination. Our financial results could also be affected by performance delays, cost overruns, product failures, materials or components shortages, or definitization delays in connection with these contracts, as well as by the mix of our contracts and programs.
Our financial results largely are dependent on our performance under our U.S. government contracts. Although we have thousands of U.S. government contracts, the termination of one or more of our contracts, or the occurrence of performance delays, cost overruns, product failures, materials or components shortages, or contract definitization delays could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
U.S. government contracts generally permit the government to terminate the contract, in whole or in part, without prior notice, at the U.S. government’s convenience or for default based on performance. If one of our contracts is terminated for convenience, we would generally be entitled to payments for our allowable costs and would receive some allowance for profit on the work performed. If one of our contracts is terminated for default, we would generally be entitled to payments for work accepted by the U.S. government. A termination arising out of our default could expose us to liability and have a negative impact on our ability to obtain future contracts and orders. In addition, we are a subcontractor and not the prime contractor on some contracts. In these arrangements, the U.S. government could terminate the prime contract for convenience or otherwise, without regard to our performance as a subcontractor. Further, we can give no assurance that we would be awarded new U.S. government contracts to offset the revenues lost as a result of the termination of any of our contracts.
The funding of U.S. government programs is subject to congressional appropriations, which are made on a fiscal year basis even for multi-year programs. Consequently, programs are often only partially funded initially and may not continue to be funded in future years. In addition, regular appropriation bills may be delayed, which may result in delays to funding, the collection of receivables and our contract performance due to lack of authorized funds to procure related products and services. Under certain circumstances, we may use our own funds to meet our customer’s desired delivery dates or other requirements but we may not be reimbursed. Further, if appropriations for one of our programs become unavailable, reduced or delayed, the U.S. government may terminate for convenience our contract or subcontract under that program.
Our U.S. government contracts typically involve the development, application and manufacture of advanced defense and technology systems and products aimed at achieving challenging goals. New technologies may be untested or unproven and in some instances, product requirements or specifications may be modified. As a result, we may experience technological and other performance difficulties, which may result in delays, setbacks, cost overruns or product failures and could divert our attention or resources from other projects. With the U.S. government’s greater focus on new technologies, such as interceptors, space-based sensors, high-energy lasers, hypersonics, and counter-hypersonics, we have more development programs. Our failure to execute effectively on these programs could impact our future sales opportunities. Additionally, in order to win certain U.S. government contracts, we may be required to invest in development prior to award as our customers demand more mature and proven solutions. These additional investment amounts may not be worthwhile if we are not chosen for new contract awards.
Our U.S. government contracts are typically either fixed-priced contracts or cost reimbursement contracts. Fixed-price contracts represent approximately 65% of our backlog, and are predominantly either firm fixed-price (FFP) contracts or fixed-price incentive (FPI) contracts. Under FFP contracts, we receive a fixed price irrespective of the actual costs we incur and we therefore carry the burden of any cost overruns. Under FPI contracts, we share with the U.S. government savings for cost underruns less than target costs and expenses for cost overruns exceeding target costs up to a negotiated cost ceiling. We carry the entire burden of cost overruns exceeding the cost ceiling amount under FPI contracts. Under cost reimbursable contracts, we are reimbursed for allowable costs and paid a fixed or performance-based fee, but we are generally not reimbursed for unauthorized costs exceeding a cost ceiling amount or costs not allowable under the contract or applicable regulations. Contracts for development programs with complex design and technical challenges are typically cost reimbursable, but can be FFP or FPI. In addition, other contracts in backlog are for the transition from development to production, which includes starting and stabilizing a manufacturing and test line while the final design is still being validated.
Over the past several years, the DoD has increased its use of Other Transaction Authority (OTA) contracts, under which it awards research and development work without all of the procurement requirements that typically apply to DoD contracts, including justification of sole source awards. OTAs may use fixed-price contracts during all phases of the contract, or mandated contract cost sharing (e.g., one-third of program costs). They may also require non-traditional subcontractor participation and impose other requirements that differ from our other DoD contracts. For example, we were awarded an OTA contract for the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS) in late 2019. If we are unable to perform on our OTA contracts, including any applicable non-traditional requirements, it could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Due to the nature of our work under many of our U.S. government contracts, we may experience unforeseen technological difficulties and cost overruns. If we are unable to control costs or if our initial cost estimates are incorrect, our profitability could be negatively affected, particularly under fixed-price development contracts. We may also experience cost underruns which would reduce contract value and related expected revenues, and we may be unable to expand the contract scope or secure additional work to offset the resulting lost revenues. Some of our U.S. government contracts have provisions relating to cost controls and audit rights and if we fail to meet the terms specified in those contracts it could have a negative impact on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. Our contracts also require us to comply with extensive and evolving procurement rules and regulations, which are discussed in more detail below.
From time to time, we may begin performance under an undefinitized contract award with a not-to-exceed price prior to completing contract negotiations in order to support U.S. government priorities. Uncertainties in final contract price, specifications and terms, or loss of negotiating leverage associated with particularly long delays in contract definitization, may negatively affect our profitability.
In addition, we are involved in programs that are classified by the U.S. government which have security requirements that place limits on our ability to discuss our performance on these programs, including any risks, disputes and claims.
Our future success depends on our ability to develop new offerings and technologies for our current and future markets.
To continue achievement of our growth strategy, we must successfully develop new offerings and technologies or adapt existing offerings and technologies for our current and future markets including new international, civil, and commercial markets. Accordingly, our future performance depends on a number of factors, including our ability in current, emerging and future growth markets to:
| |
| – | Identify market needs and growth opportunities; |
| |
| – | Identify emerging technological and other trends; |
| |
| – | Identify additional uses for our existing technology to address customer needs; |
| |
| – | Develop and maintain competitive products and services at competitive prices; |
| |
| – | Enhance our offerings by adding innovative features that differentiate our offerings from those of our competitors; |
| |
| – | Develop, manufacture and bring solutions to market quickly at cost-effective prices; |
| |
| – | Enhance product designs for export and releasability to international markets; and |
| |
| – | Effectively structure our businesses to reflect the competitive environment including through the use of joint ventures, collaborative agreements and other forms of alliances. |
We believe that in order to remain competitive in the future, we will need to continue to invest significant financial resources to develop new, and adapt existing, offerings and technologies. We fund this investment through customer funded and internal research and development, acquisitions and joint ventures or other teaming arrangements. We believe this investment is needed to meet demands and expand in our domestic and international markets, including emerging opportunities within the DoD market and the commercial cybersecurity market in which our Forcepoint business segment competes. Our investments to develop new offerings and technologies, or adapt existing offerings and technologies, could divert our attention and resources from other projects. In addition, we cannot be sure that these investments will ultimately lead to the timely development of new offerings and technologies or identification of and expansion into new or growth markets.
Due to the design complexity of our products, we may experience future delays in completing the development and introduction of new products. Any delays could result in increased costs of development or deflect resources from other projects. These risks are heightened by recent increases in new development programs. Further, our competitors may develop competing technologies which gain market acceptance in advance of our products. In addition, there can be no assurance that: (1) the market for our offerings will develop or continue to expand; (2) we will be successful in newly identified markets as we currently anticipate; or (3) the acquisitions, joint ventures or other teaming arrangements we may enter into in pursuit of developing new offerings and technologies will be successful. The failure of our technology to gain market acceptance could significantly reduce our revenues and harm our business.
Our existing technology and offerings may become obsolete due to new competitive technology or offerings. If we fail in our new product development efforts or our products or services fail to achieve market acceptance faster than our competitors, our ability to procure new contracts could be negatively impacted, which would negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Competition within our markets may reduce our revenues and market share and limit our future market opportunities.
We operate in highly competitive markets and our competitors may have more extensive or more specialized engineering, manufacturing and marketing capabilities than we do. We anticipate companies continuing to enhance their competitive position against us in our core markets as a result of continued domestic and cross-border defense industry consolidation and the expansion of competitors’ capabilities throughout the supply chain through vertical integration. We are also facing heightened competition in our domestic and international markets from foreign and multinational firms. In addition, as discussed in more detail above, U.S. defense spending and U.S. government procurement strategies may limit our future market opportunities. For example, the DoD continues to award contracts through competitive bidding. Highly competitive pricing, in which a bidder may anticipate making a substantial investment in a program in order to win the work, has been seen in certain cases. In addition, bid protests from unsuccessful bidders on new program awards are more frequent. Generally, a bid protest will delay the start of contract activities, delay earnings, and could result in the award decision being overturned and require a re-bid of the contract. Additionally, some customers, including the DoD, are increasingly turning to commercial contractors, rather than traditional defense contractors, for information technology and other support work.
In addition, the U.S. government has been awarding more development programs due to changing U.S. government priorities. If we are unable to continue to compete successfully against our current or future competitors in our core markets, we may experience declines in revenues and market share which could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
In addition, our Forcepoint cybersecurity business segment faces significant competition due to rapid changes in technology, products, customer specifications and industry standards. It also has a wide range of market competitors, some that are significantly larger with broader product and service offerings or have best-of-breed products and/or maintain stronger customer relationships. In order to compete effectively, Forcepoint must successfully execute on its growth strategy, including the development of new products and services. If Forcepoint is unable to compete successfully, it may divert financial and management resources that would otherwise benefit our other operations.
As a U.S. government contractor, we are subject to extensive procurement rules and regulations. Changes in rules, regulations and business practices could negatively affect current programs and potential awards. Our business could be negatively affected if we fail to comply with any procurement rules and regulations.
As a U.S. government contractor, we must comply with specific procurement regulations and other requirements including: (1) export-import control; (2) security; (3) contract pricing and cost; (4) contract termination and adjustment; and (5) audit and product integrity requirements. These requirements impact our performance and compliance costs. In addition, the U.S. government has and may continue to implement initiatives focused on efficiencies, affordability and cost growth and other changes to its procurement practices which may negatively affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. This could also affect whether we pursue certain opportunities and the terms under which we are able to pursue them.
For example, in recent years the DoD has increasingly included contractual payment and cost reimbursement terms such as incentive-based contracts that require contractors to share cost overruns and underruns with the U.S. government.
In addition, failure to comply with procurement regulations and requirements could result in: (1) reductions in contract value; (2) contract modifications or termination; (3) cash withholds on contract payments; (4) forfeiture of profits; and (5) the assessment of civil and criminal penalties and fines. Any of these could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. Our failure to comply with these regulations and requirements could also lead to suspension or debarment, for cause, from U.S. government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time. Among the causes for debarment are violations of various statutes, including those related to: (1) procurement integrity; (2) export control; (3) U.S. government security regulations; (4) employment practices; (5) protection of the environment; (6) accuracy of records and the recording of costs; and (7) foreign corruption. Penalties or sanctions resulting from any failure to comply with applicable requirements could have a negative impact on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. This could also have a negative impact on our reputation, lead to contract terminations and reduce our ability to procure other U.S. government contracts in the future.
Issues with component availability, subcontractor performance or key supplier performance may affect our ability to manufacture and deliver our products and services.
We depend on our suppliers delivering materials, and on our subcontractors assembling major components and subsystems for our products in a timely and satisfactory manner and in full compliance with applicable terms and conditions. We are subject to specific procurement requirements that limit the types of materials we use which may limit the suppliers and subcontractors we may utilize. These procurement rules include requirements for genuine original equipment manufacturer parts. As we continue to seek further cost efficiencies throughout our business, we may centralize procurements in order to attain better pricing through strategic sourcing, which may increase our dependency on certain suppliers. In some instances, we are dependent on sole-source suppliers. In recent years, our supplier pool has become further limited in some areas due to consolidation and supplier business closures.
In addition, our suppliers may experience materials or components shortages. In recent times, the industry has experienced shortages of certain microelectronic components. Tariffs currently imposed on certain materials and other trade issues may create or exacerbate existing materials shortages and drive-up material prices. These developments may also result in further supplier business closures. Some products require relatively scarce raw materials, including some which are largely controlled by a single country, and the ability to source those materials is dependent on U.S. relations with the country. Materials or
components sourced from a particular country may become subject to sanctions or other bans imposed by the United States or other countries. In addition, some of our suppliers or subcontractors may be susceptible to changes in global economic conditions that could impair their ability to meet their obligations to us.
If certain component materials are not available or if any of our suppliers or subcontractors otherwise fails to meet our needs or becomes insolvent, we may not have readily available alternatives or alternatives at prices that meet the demands of our customers. We enter into long-term or volume purchase agreements with certain suppliers and take other actions, such as accelerating supplier payments commensurate with value delivered, to ensure the financial viability of our suppliers and the availability of needed materials, components and subsystems. However, we cannot be sure that such items will be available at all or in the needed quantities. In addition, we require our suppliers to deliver components and services that are free from viruses and malicious code that may damage or destroy such components and interrupt such services, and include in our contracts with our suppliers the DoD requirements mandating the reporting of breaches to information technology systems containing critical government information. If we experience a material supplier or subcontractor problem, it could negatively impact our ability to satisfactorily and timely complete our customer obligations. This could result in reduced sales, termination of contracts and damage to our reputation and relationships with our customers. We could also incur additional costs in addressing this type of problem. Any of these events could have a negative impact on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. In addition, we must conduct diligence and provide disclosure regarding the use of certain minerals, known as conflict minerals, which may impact our procurement practices and increase our costs.
Our international business is subject to geopolitical and economic factors, regulatory requirements and other risks.
Our international business exposes us to geopolitical and economic factors, regulatory requirements, increasing competition and other risks associated with doing business in foreign countries, including those related to tariffs and trade barriers. These risks differ from and may be greater than those associated with our domestic business. In 2019, our sales to customers outside the U.S. (including foreign military sales through the U.S. government) accounted for 29% of our total net sales. Our exposure to such risks may increase if our international business continues to grow as we anticipate. Any significant impairment of our ability to conduct business outside of the U.S. could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Our international business is sensitive to changes in the priorities and budgets of international customers, which may be driven by: (1) changes in threat environments; (2) geopolitical uncertainties; (3) volatility in worldwide economic conditions; and (4) various regional and local economic and political factors, including volatility in energy prices, changes in U.S. foreign policy, changes in existing free trade laws and regulations and other risks and uncertainties. Our international sales are subject to U.S. laws, regulations and policies, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and other anti-corruption, sanctions, and export laws and regulations. Any failure by us or others working on our behalf to comply with these laws and regulations could result in criminal, civil or administrative penalties including fines, suspension or debarment from government contracts or suspension of our ability to export our products.
In addition, due to the nature of our products, we must obtain licenses and authorizations from various U.S. government agencies before selling our products outside of the U.S. Our ability to obtain these licenses and authorizations timely or at all is subject to risks and uncertainties, including changing U.S. government policies or laws or delays in Congressional action due to geopolitical and other factors. Some of our direct commercial sale contracts with international customers have requirements relating to these licenses and authorizations and may permit the customer to terminate the contract if we fail to receive these approvals in a timely manner. If we are not successful in obtaining or maintaining the necessary licenses or authorizations in a timely manner, our sales relating to those approvals may be reversed, prevented or delayed. In the recent past, we had several direct commercial sales contracts for precision guided munitions with certain Middle Eastern customers for which U.S. government approvals had been delayed until the Administration directly approved these sales. At December 31, 2019, we had pending $1.2 billion of total contract value of these contracts that require U.S. government approvals. Additionally, one of those contracts, which has a contract value of $835 million, also requires U.K. government approval. In addition, new sales to these customers may face similar delays and/or potential challenges given the geopolitical issues.
Certain events have caused increased attention on U.S. defense sales to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Although we currently do not expect to be prevented from doing business in KSA, which represents less than 5% of our sales, if government
action impairs our ability to fulfill our contractual obligations or otherwise to continue to do business in KSA, it would have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
Our international sales are also subject to local government laws, regulations, and procurement policies and practices which may differ from U.S. government requirements. These include regulations relating to export-import control, technology transfer, investments, exchange controls and repatriation of earnings. Further, our international sales contracts may be subject to non-U.S. contract laws and regulations and include contractual terms that differ from those of similar contracts in the U.S. or that may be interpreted differently under foreign laws. Delays, cost overruns and product failures, or technological or other difficulties could also affect our ability to perform on our international contracts and negatively affect our profitability. In addition, these contracts may be subject to termination for default based on performance or failure to obtain U.S. government export approvals. These contracts may also be subject to termination at the customer’s convenience, and may be subject to funding risks. In connection with our international business, we also operate subsidiaries domiciled in non-U.S. locations that are subject to local government laws and regulations which may differ from U.S. government requirements. In addition, the timing of orders, customer negotiations, governmental approvals and notifications from our international customers can be less predictable than from our domestic customers. This may lead to variations in international bookings and sales each year.
We must also manage a certain degree of exposure to the risk of currency fluctuations. Our international sales in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar were approximately $1.4 billion in both 2019 and 2018 and $1.3 billion in 2017, the majority of which were in British pounds and Australian dollars with the remainder primarily in euros and Canadian dollars. See “Note 16: Business Segment Reporting” within Item 8 of this Form 10-K for total net sales and property, plant and equipment by geographical area.
Our international business faces substantial competition from both U.S. companies and foreign companies. In some instances, foreign companies may be owned by foreign governments or may receive loans, marketing subsidies and other assistance from their governments that may not be available to U.S. companies. In addition, foreign companies may be subject to fewer restrictions on technology transfer than U.S. companies.
Our international contracts may include industrial cooperation agreements requiring specific local purchases, manufacturing agreements, technology transfer agreements or financial support obligations, sometimes in the form of either offset obligations or in-country industrial participation (ICIP) agreements. Approvals of offset or ICIP thresholds and requirements may be subjective and time-consuming and may delay contract awards. Offset requirements may, in certain countries, include the creation of a joint venture with a local company which may control the venture. This could result in liability for violations of law for actions taken by these entities, including laws related to anti-corruption, sanctions, export, or local laws which may differ from U.S. laws and requirements. In addition, the ability to recover investments that we make may be dependent upon the success of ventures that we do not control. Such offset obligations are generally multi-year arrangements and may provide for penalties in the event we fail to perform in accordance with the offset requirements. In addition, certain customers’ demands are increasing for greater offset or ICIP commitment levels, higher-value content, including the transfer of technologies and capabilities, and local production and economic development. We also are exposed to risks associated with using third-party foreign representatives and consultants for international sales, and teaming with international subcontractors, partners and suppliers in connection with international programs. As a result of the above factors, we could experience financial penalties and award and funding delays on international programs, our profitability on these programs could be negatively affected, and we could incur losses on these programs which could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
We depend on the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel, and our failure to attract, train and retain such personnel and to maintain our corporate culture and high ethical standards could seriously harm our business.
Due to the specialized nature of our business, our future performance is highly dependent upon the continued services of our key technical personnel and executive officers, the development of additional management personnel and the hiring of new qualified technical, manufacturing, marketing, sales and management personnel for our operations. Our continued growth increases the need for qualified personnel. Competition for personnel is intense and we may not be successful in attracting, training or retaining qualified personnel with the requisite skills or security clearances. In addition, certain personnel may be required to receive various security clearances and substantial training in order to work on certain programs or perform certain tasks. Necessary security clearances may be delayed, which may impact our ability to perform on our U.S. government contracts. Further, a significant percentage of our current workforce is nearing or eligible for retirement. To the extent that we lose experienced personnel, it is critical that we develop other employees, hire new qualified personnel and successfully
manage the transfer of critical knowledge. We face competition in attracting new qualified personnel, especially in a low unemployment environment. In addition, new qualified personnel may have different expectations from our current workforce, which could result in difficulties attracting and retaining new employees. Loss of key employees, failure to attract new qualified employees or adequately train them, delays in receiving required security clearances, or delays in hiring key personnel could seriously harm our business.
We believe that a critical component of our ability to successfully attract, train and retain qualified personnel has been our corporate culture, which we believe fosters innovation, collaboration and a focus on execution, all in an environment of high ethical standards. Our global operations may present challenges in maintaining these important aspects of our corporate culture. Any failure to maintain our corporate culture could negatively impact our ability to attract, train and retain essential qualified personnel who are vital to our business. Further, we rely on our key personnel to lead with integrity and to meet our high ethical standards. To the extent any of our leaders were to behave in a way that is inconsistent with our values, we could experience a materially adverse impact to our reputation and our operating results.
Our business could be negatively impacted by cyber attacks, other security breaches and other disruptions.
We routinely experience cyber and other security threats including: threats to our information technology infrastructure, attempts to gain access to our proprietary, sensitive or classified information, and attempts to infiltrate our products and services and sabotage or disable their use by our customers. We also encounter threats to our physical security, including our facilities and personnel, and threats from terrorism or similar acts. In addition, our business could be disrupted by natural disasters, including the impacts of climate change.
As a defense contractor that protects national security information, we are the target of advanced and persistent cyber attacks from a variety of assailants, including nation states, in addition to attacks similar to those encountered in other industries. Our customers, suppliers, subcontractors and other third parties with whom we do business routinely experience similar security threats. Cybersecurity threats include, but are not limited to, malicious software, attempts to access information, online extortion attempts, disruption or denial of service attacks, insider threat attacks, and other cybersecurity events that could lead to disruptions of our systems or unauthorized access to our data. Our information technology networks and related systems are critical to the operation of our business and essential to our ability to successfully perform day-to-day operations. In addition, in some cases we must rely on the safeguards put in place by our customers, suppliers, subcontractors and other third parties to protect against and report cyber threats. Cyber attacks could lead to disruptions in mission critical systems, unauthorized release of confidential, personal, other protected information (which may belong to us, our employees, or third parties) or national security information, and corruption of data, networks or systems. We believe we have implemented appropriate measures and controls and have invested in significant resources to appropriately identify and monitor these threats and mitigate potential risks, including risks involving our customers and suppliers. However, due to their persistence, sophistication and volume, we may not be successful in preventing or defending against all cyber attacks and preventing or mitigating associated losses. In addition, because cybersecurity and related data privacy and protection laws and regulations are evolving and present increasing compliance challenges, our compliance costs could increase.
In addition, we provide cybersecurity, defense and other products and services to government and commercial customers, as well as products in which cybersecurity capabilities are embedded. As a result, these products and services are subject to attacks targeting their security, integrity and/or availability. Our cybersecurity products and services ultimately may not be able to effectively detect, prevent, or protect against cyber attacks or otherwise mitigate customer losses and other potential consequences of these attacks. In addition, some products and services that we provide to customers, particularly those related to public security, may raise potential liabilities related to privacy and intellectual property.
The impact of a future cyber incident cannot be predicted, particularly because these threats evolve quickly, their seriousness and scale vary widely, and national security information or other sensitive government functions may be involved. The impact of other business disruptions, such as those related to our physical security or resulting from natural disasters or other events, is also difficult to predict. Further, our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all related costs and we may not otherwise be fully indemnified for them. We maintain internal controls and procedures on cybersecurity incident prevention, detection, mitigation, response, recovery and disclosure. However, we may be unsuccessful in detecting, reporting or responding to these events adequately in a timely manner. Cyber attacks, security breaches, and other events could disrupt our operations, or the operations of our customers, suppliers, subcontractors and other third parties, and cause harm to facilities or personnel. They could require significant management attention and resources and could result in the loss of business,
regulatory actions and potential liability. They could also negatively impact our reputation among our customers and the public. Any one of these outcomes could have a negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
Our business could be adversely affected by a negative audit or investigatory finding by the U.S. government.
We are subject to audits and investigations by U.S. government agencies including the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), the Inspectors General of the DoD and other departments and agencies, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Congressional Committees, in large part because we are a government contractor. From time to time, these and other agencies conduct investigations or audits to determine whether our operations are in compliance with applicable requirements. The DCAA and DCMA also review the adequacy of and our compliance with our internal control systems and policies, including our accounting, purchasing, property, estimating, earned value management and material management accounting systems. Our final allowable incurred costs for each year are subject to audit and have from time to time resulted in disputes between us and the U.S. government. In some cases, the DOJ has convened grand juries to investigate possible irregularities in our costs. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed or must be refunded if already reimbursed. An adverse outcome of any audit or investigation could result in civil and criminal penalties and fines which could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. In addition, if allegations of impropriety were made against us, we could suffer serious reputational harm which could negatively affect our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
We use estimates in accounting for many of our programs, and changes in our estimates could adversely affect our future financial results.
Accounting for long-term contracts requires estimates and judgments related to our progress toward completion. Significant judgments include potential risks associated with the ability and cost to achieve program schedule, including customer-directed delays or reductions in scheduled deliveries, and technical and other specific contract requirements. Due to the size and long-term nature of many of our contracts, the estimation of total revenues and cost at completion is complicated and subject to many variables. Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding contract revenue and cost (including estimates of award fees and penalties), including with respect to: (1) labor productivity and availability; (2) the complexity of the work to be performed; (3) the availability of materials; (4) the length of time to complete the performance obligation; (5) execution by our subcontractors; (6) the availability and timing of funding from our customer; and (7) overhead cost rates, among other variables. Because of the significance of management’s judgments and estimation processes described above, it is likely that materially different amounts could be recorded if we used different assumptions or if the underlying circumstances were to change. Changes in underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates may adversely affect our future results of operations and financial condition.
For a detailed discussion of how our financial statements can be affected by contract accounting policies, see “Critical Accounting Estimates” within Item 7 of this Form 10-K.
Significant changes in key estimates and assumptions, such as discount rates and assumed long-term return on plan assets (ROA), as well as our actual investment returns on our pension plan assets and other actuarial factors, could affect our earnings, equity and pension contributions in future periods.
We must determine our pension and PRB plans’ expense or income which involves significant judgment, particularly with respect to our discount rate, long-term ROA and other actuarial assumptions. The discount rate assumption is set annually and we determine on an annual basis whether it is appropriate to change our long-term ROA assumption. These assumptions and other actuarial assumptions may change significantly due to changes in economic, legislative, and/or demographic experience or circumstances. Changes in our assumptions could result in negative changes to our pension and PRB plans’ expense and funded status, and our cash contributions to such plans, which would negatively impact our results of operations. In addition, differences between our actual investment returns and our long-term ROA assumption would result in a change to our pension and PRB plans’ expense and funded status and our required contributions to the plans. They may also be impacted by changes in regulatory, accounting and other requirements applicable to pensions.
For a detailed discussion of how our financial statements can be affected by pension and PRB plan accounting policies, see “Critical Accounting Estimates” within Item 7 of this Form 10-K.
If we fail to manage our acquisitions, investments, divestitures, joint ventures and other transactions successfully, these activities could adversely affect our future financial results.
In pursuing our business strategies, we continually review, evaluate and consider potential investments, acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and other teaming and collaborative arrangements. We undertake to identify opportunities that will complement our existing products and services or customer base, as well as expand our offerings and market reach into new areas that naturally extend from our core capabilities. In evaluating such transactions, we are required to make difficult judgments regarding the value of business opportunities, technologies and other assets, and the risks and cost of potential liabilities. Further, these transactions involve certain other risks and uncertainties including: (1) the risks involved with entering new markets; (2) the difficulty in integrating newly-acquired businesses and managing or monitoring other collaborative business arrangements; (3) challenges and failures in achieving strategic objectives and other expected benefits which may result in certain liabilities to us for guarantees and other commitments; (4) unidentified issues not discovered in Raytheon’s due diligence; (5) the diversion of our attention and resources from our operations and other initiatives; (6) the potential impairment of acquired assets; (7) the performance of underlying products, capabilities or technologies; and (8) the potential loss of key employees and customers of acquired businesses. In addition, future transactions may impact our deployment of capital, including dividends, stock repurchases, pension contributions, and investments.
Goodwill and other intangible assets represent a significant portion of our assets, and any impairment of these assets could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.
At December 31, 2019, we had goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $15.4 billion which represented 45% of our total assets. Our goodwill is subject to an impairment test annually and is also tested whenever events and circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. In the event of an impairment any excess goodwill must be written off in the period of determination. Intangible assets (other than goodwill) are generally amortized over the useful life of such assets. In addition, from time to time, we may acquire or make an investment in a business which will require us to record goodwill and intangible assets based on the purchase price and the value of the acquired assets. We may subsequently experience unforeseen events that could adversely affect the value of our goodwill or intangible assets and trigger an impairment evaluation. Future determinations of significant impairments of goodwill or intangible assets as a result of an impairment test or any accelerated amortization of other intangible assets could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
For a detailed discussion of how our financial statements can be affected by goodwill accounting policies, see “Critical Accounting Estimates” within Item 7 of this Form 10-K.
The outcome of litigation in which we have been named, or may in the future be named, as a defendant is unpredictable, and an adverse decision in any such matter could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
We are the defendant in a number of litigation matters and are subject to various other claims, demands and investigations. In addition, we may be subject to future litigation matters, claims, demands and investigations. These matters may divert financial and management resources that would otherwise be used to benefit our operations. No assurances can be given that the results of these matters will be favorable to us. An adverse resolution or outcome of any of these lawsuits, claims, demands or investigations could have a negative impact on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights or obtain certain rights in third party intellectual property on reasonable terms, which could affect our ability to compete.
Our efforts to gain awards of contracts and ensure a competitive position in the market depends in part on our ability to ensure that our intellectual property is protected, that our intellectual property rights are not diluted or subject to misuse, and that we are able to license certain third party intellectual property on reasonable terms. We own many U.S. and foreign patents and patent applications, and have rights in unpatented inventions, know-how, data, software, trademarks and copyrights. The U.S. government and foreign governments have licenses under certain of our intellectual property, including certain patents, which are developed or used in performance of government contracts. Governments may use or authorize others (including our competitors) to use such patents and intellectual property for government and other purposes. Governments may challenge the sufficiency of intellectual property rights we have granted in government contracts and attempt to obtain greater rights, which could reduce our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and to compete. There can be no assurance that any
of our patents and other intellectual property will not be challenged, invalidated, misappropriated or circumvented by third parties. In addition, the laws concerning intellectual property vary among nations and the protection provided to our intellectual property by the laws and courts of foreign nations may differ from those of the U.S. Further, litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights can be costly, and even if successful, can distract our attention from other areas of our business. All of the above could diminish the value of our intellectual property, affecting our ability to procure future business or maximize the use of our intellectual property to increase our revenue.
In some instances, we have augmented our technology base by licensing the proprietary intellectual property of others. Intellectual property obtained from third parties is also subject to challenge, invalidation, misappropriation or circumvention by third parties. In addition, we may not be able to obtain necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms. In other instances, our ability to procure and perform government contracts requires us to obtain certain rights in the intellectual property of others through government grants. Governments may deny us the right to obtain such rights in the intellectual property of others which may affect our ability to perform government contracts.
The confidentiality and intellectual property assignment agreements we enter into with our employees and non-disclosure obligations and agreements we enter into with our suppliers, consultants and appropriate customers may not adequately protect our proprietary information, deter misappropriation and misuse of our proprietary information, or prevent third-party development of similar technologies, all of which may negatively impact our ability to compete. We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, use our intellectual property for a competitive advantage, or continue to access licensed intellectual property of third parties, any of which could have a negative impact on our ability to win and perform on contracts, our reputation, and our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Our operations expose us to the risk of material environmental liabilities.
We use hazardous substances and generate hazardous wastes in our operations. As a result, we are subject to potentially material liabilities related to personal injuries or property damage that may be caused by hazardous substance releases and exposures. For example, we are investigating and remediating contamination related to past practices at a number of properties and, in some cases, have in the past been named as a defendant in related “toxic tort” claims.
We are also subject to laws and regulations that: (1) impose requirements for the proper management, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes; (2) restrict air and water emissions from our operations (including U.S. government-owned facilities we manage); and (3) require maintenance of a safe workplace. These laws and regulations can lead to substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations, and may require the installation of costly equipment or operational changes to limit pollution emissions, decrease the likelihood of accidental hazardous substance releases and/or reduce the risks of injury to people. We incur, and expect to continue to incur, capital and other expenditures to comply with these laws and regulations.
A criminal violation of certain U.S. environmental statutes such as the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act could result in suspension, debarment or disqualification by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). A facility determined to be in violation of the criminal provisions of these statutes can be prohibited from performing any U.S. government contract work until the violation has been corrected and the EPA approves the reinstatement of the facility.
In addition, new laws, regulations, or governmental policies, sudden changes in the interpretation and enforcement of existing laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown contamination, or the imposition of new clean-up standards could require us to incur additional costs in the future that would have a negative effect on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
We face certain significant risk exposures and potential liabilities that may not be adequately covered by indemnity or insurance.
A significant portion of our business relates to designing, developing and manufacturing advanced defense and technology systems and products. New technologies may be untested or unproven. In addition, we may incur significant liabilities that are unique to our products and services. In some, but not all, circumstances, we may be entitled to indemnification from our customers through contractual provisions, and we may obtain limitations of liability and additional defenses for various reasons including the qualification of our products and services by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the SAFETY
Act provisions of the Homeland Security Act of 2002. The amount of the insurance coverage we maintain or indemnification to which we may be contractually or otherwise entitled may not be adequate to cover all claims or liabilities. Accordingly, we may be forced to bear substantial costs resulting from risks and uncertainties of our business which would negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. Any accident, failure of, or defect in our products and services, even if fully indemnified or insured, could negatively affect our reputation among our customers and the public, and make it more difficult for us to compete effectively. It could also affect the cost and availability of available insurance in the future.
Unanticipated changes in our tax provisions or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect our profitability.
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and many foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of our business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Further, changes in domestic or foreign income tax laws and regulations, or their interpretation, could result in higher or lower income tax rates assessed or changes in the taxability of certain sales or the deductibility of certain expenses, thereby affecting our income tax expense and profitability. In addition, we are regularly under audit by tax authorities. The final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different from our historical income tax provisions and accruals. Additionally, changes in the geographic mix of our sales could impact our tax liabilities and affect our income tax expense and profitability.
Risks Related to the Proposed Merger with UTC
The Merger is subject to conditions, some or all of which may not be satisfied, or completed on a timely basis, if at all. Failure to complete the Merger could have material adverse effects on Raytheon.
The completion of the Merger is subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things, the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, the receipt of an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) private letter ruling regarding certain tax matters and certain tax-related opinions and solvency opinions from outside legal counsel, the completion by UTC of the Separation and the Distributions, and a certain amount of net indebtedness of UTC following the Separation and the Distributions (UTC RemainCo), which make the completion and timing of the Merger uncertain.
The failure to satisfy all of the required conditions could delay the completion of the Merger for a significant period of time or prevent it from occurring at all. There can be no assurance that the conditions to the completion of the Merger will be satisfied or waived or that the Merger will be completed.
If the Merger is not completed, Raytheon may be materially adversely affected and, without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the Merger, will be subject to a number of risks, including the following:
| |
| – | the market price of Raytheon common stock could decline; |
| |
| – | Raytheon could owe a substantial termination fee to UTC in specified circumstances; |
| |
| – | if the Merger Agreement is terminated and the Raytheon Board of Directors seeks another business combination, Raytheon stockholders cannot be certain that Raytheon will be able to find a party willing to enter into a transaction on terms equivalent to or more attractive than the terms that UTC has agreed to in the Merger Agreement; |
| |
| – | time and resources, financial and other, committed by Raytheon’s management to matters relating to the Merger could otherwise have been devoted to pursuing other beneficial opportunities; |
| |
| – | Raytheon may experience negative reactions from the financial markets or from its customers, suppliers or employees; and |
| |
| – | Raytheon will be required to pay its costs relating to the Merger, such as legal, accounting, financial advisory and printing fees, whether or not the Merger is completed. |
In addition, if the Merger is not completed, Raytheon could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the Merger or related to any enforcement proceeding commenced against Raytheon to perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement. Any of these risks could materially and adversely impact Raytheon’s ongoing business, financial condition, financial results and stock price.
Similarly, delays in the completion of the Merger could, among other things, result in additional transaction costs, loss of revenue or other negative effects associated with delay and uncertainty about completion of the Merger, and could materially
and adversely impact the ongoing business, financial condition, financial results and stock price of Raytheon prior to the Merger and UTC following completion of the Merger (the Combined Company).
The Merger is subject to the expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods and the receipt of approvals, consents or clearances from several regulatory authorities that may impose conditions that could have an adverse effect on Raytheon or the Combined Company or, if not obtained, could prevent completion of the Merger.
Before the Merger may be completed, any applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (HSR Act) relating to the completion of the Merger must have expired or been terminated and any authorization or consent from a governmental authority required to be obtained with respect to the Merger under certain other applicable foreign regulatory laws must have been obtained. In deciding whether to grant the required regulatory authorization or consent, the relevant governmental entities will consider the effect of the Merger within their relevant jurisdiction, including, among other things, the impact on the parties’ respective customers and suppliers and the applicable defense ministry and the impact of the parties’ foreign investment in the jurisdiction. The terms and conditions of the authorizations and consents that are granted, if any, may impose requirements, limitations or costs or place restrictions on the conduct of the Combined Company’s business or may materially delay the completion of the Merger.
Under the Merger Agreement, UTC and Raytheon have agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain such authorizations and consents, and each of UTC and Raytheon has agreed to take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate impediments under any antitrust laws that may be asserted by any governmental authority so as to enable the completion of the Merger as promptly as practicable. However, UTC’s and Raytheon’s obligations to take such actions are subject to limitations, including that neither UTC nor Raytheon will be required to commit to or effect any sale, divestiture, lease, holding separate pending a sale or other transfer or disposal, or certain other restrictions or actions if such actions, in the aggregate would or would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse impact on Raytheon, UTC or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates, in each case measured on a scale relative to the size of the Combined Company.
In addition, at any time before or after the completion of the Merger, and notwithstanding the termination of applicable waiting periods, the applicable U.S. or foreign regulatory authorities or any state attorney general could take such action under antitrust or applicable foreign investment laws as such party deems necessary or desirable in the public interest. Such action could include, among other things, seeking to enjoin the completion of the Merger or seeking divestiture of substantial assets of the parties. In addition, in some circumstances, a third party could initiate a private action challenging, seeking to enjoin, or seeking to impose conditions on the Merger. UTC and Raytheon may not prevail and may incur significant costs in defending or settling any such action.
There can be no assurance that the conditions to the completion of the Merger set forth in the Merger Agreement relating to applicable regulatory laws will be satisfied.
The exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted in the event of any change in either UTC’s or Raytheon’s stock price; there is no (and will not be until the completion of the Distributions) trading history with respect to the shares of the UTC aerospace businesses on a standalone basis after giving effect to the Separation and the Distributions.
Upon completion of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Raytheon common stock (other than excluded shares) will be converted into the right to receive the Merger consideration, which is equal to 2.3348 fully paid and nonassessable shares of UTC common stock (and, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares). This exchange ratio was fixed in the Merger Agreement and will not be adjusted for changes in the market price of either UTC common stock or Raytheon common stock.
As of the date of this filing, it is impossible to accurately predict the market price of UTC common stock at the completion of the Merger (including as a result of, among other things, the Separation and the Distributions), and therefore, impossible to accurately predict the market value of the shares of UTC common stock that Raytheon stockholders will receive in the Merger. There is no (and will not be until the completion of the Distributions) trading history with respect to the shares of the UTC aerospace businesses on a standalone basis after giving effect to the Separation and the Distributions. The market price for UTC common stock may fluctuate both prior to the completion of the Merger and thereafter for a variety of reasons, including, among others, general market and economic conditions, the demand for UTC’s or Raytheon’s products and services, the Separation and the Distributions, changes in laws and regulations, other changes in UTC’s and Raytheon’s respective businesses, operations, prospects and financial results of operations, market assessments of the likelihood that the Merger will
be completed, and the expected timing of the Merger. Many of these factors are beyond UTC’s and Raytheon’s control. As a result, the market value represented by the exchange ratio will also vary.
As a result of the Distributions, we expect the market price of shares of UTC common stock to decline because the market price will no longer include the value of the Otis business or the Carrier business. The value of UTC common stock that Raytheon stockholders will receive in the Merger will reflect the combination of the UTC aerospace businesses and Raytheon and will not include the value of the Otis business or the Carrier business as the market price of UTC common stock currently does. We cannot predict the amount of this decline, as the market price of shares of UTC common stock may fluctuate based on the perceived values of the common stock of UTC, the Otis business and the Carrier business in anticipation of the Distributions and the Merger, and it may not be possible to estimate the market value of UTC common stock. In addition, there is no (and will not be until the completion of the Distributions) trading history with respect to the shares of the UTC aerospace businesses on a standalone basis after giving effect to the Separation and Distributions. Therefore, current and historical market prices of UTC common stock are not reflective of the value that Raytheon stockholders will receive in the Merger.
Each party is subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Merger is pending, which could adversely affect Raytheon’s, and, following completion of the Merger, the Combined Company’s business and operations.
In connection with the pendency of the Merger, it is possible that some customers, suppliers and other persons with whom UTC and/or Raytheon has a business relationship may delay or defer certain business decisions or might decide to seek to terminate, change or renegotiate their relationships with UTC or Raytheon, as the case may be, as a result of the Merger or otherwise, which could negatively affect UTC’s or Raytheon’s respective revenues, earnings and/or cash flows, as well as the market price of UTC common stock or Raytheon common stock, regardless of whether the Merger is completed.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each of UTC and Raytheon is subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of its business prior to completing the Merger that may adversely affect its ability to execute certain of its business strategies, including the ability in certain cases to enter into or amend contracts, acquire or dispose of assets, incur indebtedness, pay dividends, incur capital expenditures or settle claims. Such limitations could adversely affect each of UTC’s and Raytheon’s business and operations prior to the completion of the Merger.
Each of the risks described above may be exacerbated by delays or other adverse developments with respect to the completion of the Merger.
Completion of the Merger may trigger change in control or other provisions in certain customer and other agreements to which UTC or Raytheon is a party, which may have an adverse impact on the Combined Company’s business and results of operations following completion of the Merger.
The completion of the Merger may trigger change in control and other provisions in certain agreements to which UTC or Raytheon is a party. If UTC or Raytheon is unable to negotiate waivers of those provisions, counterparties may exercise their rights and remedies under the agreements, including terminating the agreements or seeking monetary damages or equitable remedies. Even if UTC and Raytheon are able to negotiate consents or waivers, the counterparties may require a fee for such waivers or seek to renegotiate the agreements on terms less favorable to UTC or Raytheon. Any of the foregoing or similar developments may have an adverse impact on the Combined Company’s business and results of operations following completion of the Merger.
Uncertainties associated with the Merger may cause a loss of management personnel and other key employees, which could adversely affect the future business and operations of the Combined Company following completion of the Merger.
UTC and Raytheon are dependent on the experience and industry knowledge of their officers and other key employees to execute their business plans. The Combined Company’s success after the completion of the Merger will depend in part upon the ability of the Combined Company to retain certain key management personnel and employees of UTC and Raytheon. Prior to the completion of the Merger (as well as the Separations and the Distributions), current and prospective employees of UTC and Raytheon may experience uncertainty about their roles following the completion of the transactions, which may have an adverse effect on the ability of each of UTC and Raytheon to attract or retain key management and other key personnel. Furthermore, UTC expects certain key members of its current management will become employees of the entities holding the
Otis business and the Carrier business and therefore such persons will no longer be employed by UTC. In addition, no assurance can be given that the Combined Company, after the completion of the Merger, will be able to attract or retain key management personnel and other key employees to the same extent that UTC and Raytheon have previously been able to attract or retain their own employees.
If either of the Distributions, together with certain related transactions, were to fail to qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including as a result of subsequent acquisitions of stock of UTC (including pursuant to the Merger), the Combined Company could be subject to significant tax liabilities.
It is a condition to the Distributions and the Merger that UTC receive (1) a private letter ruling from the IRS regarding certain U.S. federal income tax matters relating to the Separation and the Distributions and (2) an opinion of outside counsel regarding the qualification of certain elements of each of the Distributions under Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). Further, it is a condition to each of UTC’s and Raytheon’s obligations to complete the Merger that each of UTC and Raytheon receive an opinion of its respective outside counsel to the effect that (a) the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and (b) the Merger will not cause Section 355(e) of the Code to apply to either of the Distributions.
Notwithstanding receipt of the IRS private letter ruling and the opinions of counsel regarding the Distributions, the IRS could determine that the Distributions and/or certain related transactions should be treated as taxable transactions for U.S. federal income tax purposes if it determines that any of the representations, assumptions or undertakings upon which the IRS private letter ruling or the opinions of counsel was based are inaccurate or have not been complied with. In addition, the IRS private letter ruling will not address all of the issues that are relevant to determining whether each of the Distributions, together with certain related transactions, qualifies as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, notwithstanding receipt by UTC of the IRS private letter ruling and receipt by UTC and Raytheon of opinions of counsel, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not assert that the Distributions and/or certain related transactions do not qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including by reason of the Merger) or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. In the event the IRS were to prevail with such challenge, the Combined Company could be subject to significant U.S. federal income tax liability.
Risks Related to the Combined Company
Following the Merger, the composition of the board of directors of the Combined Company will be different than the composition of the current Raytheon Board of Directors.
The Raytheon Board of Directors currently consists of 13 directors. Upon completion of the Merger, the board of directors of the Combined Company will consist of 15 directors, including seven independent directors designated by UTC, six independent directors designated by Raytheon and the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Chairman of the Combined Company.
The Combined Company may be unable to successfully integrate the UTC aerospace businesses and Raytheon and realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger.
The success of the Merger will depend, in part, on the Combined Company’s ability to successfully combine and integrate the UTC aerospace businesses and Raytheon, and realize the anticipated benefits, including synergies, cost savings, innovation and technological opportunities and operational efficiencies from the Merger in a manner that does not materially disrupt existing customer, supplier and employee relations and does not result in decreased revenues due to losses of, or decreases in orders by, customers. If the Combined Company is unable to achieve these objectives within the anticipated time frame, or at all, the anticipated benefits may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected, and the value of the Combined Company common stock may decline. The Combined Company may fail to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits of the Merger if the integration process takes longer than expected or is more costly than expected.
The integration of the two companies may result in material challenges, including, without limitation:
| |
| – | managing a larger, more complex combined aerospace and defense business; |
| |
| – | maintaining employee morale and retaining key management and other employees; |
| |
| – | retaining existing business and operational relationships, including customers, suppliers and employees and other counterparties, as may be impacted by contracts containing consent and/or other provisions that may be triggered by the Merger, and attracting new business and operational relationships; |
| |
| – | the diversion of management’s attention as a result of the devoting attention to the Merger, and/or the Separation and the Distributions; |
| |
| – | consolidating corporate and administrative infrastructures and eliminating duplicative operations, including unanticipated issues in integrating information technology, communications and other systems; |
| |
| – | coordinating geographically separate organizations; and |
| |
| – | unforeseen expenses or delays associated with the Merger, including the Separation and the Distributions. |
Many of these factors will be outside of UTC’s and/or Raytheon’s control, and any one of them could result in delays, increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues and diversion of management’s time and energy, which could materially affect the Combined Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In addition, UTC completed its Merger with Rockwell Collins on November 26, 2018, and the integration of the UTC aerospace businesses and Rockwell Collins remains in process. This ongoing integration may increase the complexity of, and challenges associated with, the integration of the UTC aerospace businesses and Raytheon, which may make it more difficult for UTC and Raytheon to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Merger fully or at all, or within the anticipated time frame.
Due to legal restrictions, UTC and Raytheon are currently permitted to conduct only limited planning for the integration of the two companies following the Merger. The actual integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses, and the anticipated benefits of the integration plan may not be realized on a timely basis, if at all.
The Combined Company may not be able to engage in desirable capital-raising or strategic transactions following the Merger.
Under current U.S. federal income tax law, a spin-off that otherwise qualifies for tax-free treatment can be rendered taxable to the parent corporation and its stockholders as a result of certain post-spin-off transactions, including certain acquisitions of shares or assets of the parent corporation. To preserve the tax-free treatment of the Distributions, the Combined Company may be limited in its ability to pursue certain equity issuances, strategic transactions, repurchases, or other transactions that it may otherwise believe to be in the best interests of its stockholders or that might increase the value of its business.
Upon completion of the Merger, Raytheon stockholders will have different rights under the Combined Company’s governing documents than they do currently under Raytheon’s governing documents.
Upon completion of the Merger, Raytheon stockholders will no longer be stockholders of Raytheon, but will instead become stockholders of the Combined Company and their rights as stockholders will be governed by the terms of the Combined Company’s certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws. The terms of the Combined Company’s certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws will be in some respects different than the terms of Raytheon’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws, which currently govern the rights of Raytheon stockholders.
The Combined Company’s amended and restated by-laws will designate the state courts within the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by Combined Company stockholders, which could discourage lawsuits against the Combined Company and its directors, officers and employees.
Under the Combined Company’s amended and restated by-laws, unless the Combined Company determines otherwise, a state court located within the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) will be the sole and exclusive forum for:
| |
| – | any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Combined Company; |
| |
| – | any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer or other employee of the Combined Company to the Combined Company or to Combined Company stockholders; |
| |
| – | any action asserting a claim against the Combined Company or any director or officer or other employee of the Combined Company arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Combined Company’s certificate of incorporation or the amended and restated by-laws (as either may be amended from time to time); or |
| |
| – | any action asserting a claim against the Combined Company or any director or officer or other employee of the Combined Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine. |
To the fullest extent permitted by law, this exclusive forum provision will apply to state and federal law claims, including claims under the federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), although Combined Company stockholders will not be deemed to have waived the Combined Company’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ bylaws has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with claims arising under federal securities laws or otherwise, a court could find the exclusive forum provision contained in the amended and restated by-laws to be inapplicable or unenforceable.
This exclusive forum provision may limit the ability of Combined Company stockholders to commence litigation in a forum that they prefer, which may discourage such lawsuits against the Combined Company and its current or former directors, officers and employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find this exclusive forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings described above, the Combined Company may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could negatively affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.
The future results of the Combined Company may be adversely impacted if the Combined Company does not effectively manage its complex operations following the completion of the Merger.
Following the completion of the Merger, the size of the Combined Company’s aerospace and defense business will be significantly larger than the current size of either Raytheon’s business or the UTC aerospace businesses, while at the same time the Otis business and Carrier business will no longer be part of UTC. The Combined Company’s ability to successfully manage this expanded aerospace and defense business while having completed the Distributions will depend, in part, upon management’s ability to design and implement strategic initiatives that address not only the integration of the UTC aerospace businesses and Raytheon, including UTC’s continuing integration of the Rockwell Collins business, but also the increased scale and scope of the combined business with its associated increased costs and complexity, and the loss of certain scale and scope through the Distributions. There can be no assurances that the Combined Company will be successful in integrating the businesses or that it will realize the expected operating efficiencies, cost savings and other benefits currently anticipated from the Merger.
Each of UTC and Raytheon expects to incur substantial expenses related to the completion of the Merger and the integration of the UTC aerospace businesses and Raytheon.
Each of UTC and Raytheon will incur substantial expenses in connection with the completion of the Merger (including, in the case of UTC, with respect to the Separation and the Distributions) to integrate a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems of UTC and Raytheon in connection with the Merger. The substantial majority of these costs will be non-recurring expenses related to the transactions and facilities and systems consolidation costs. The Combined Company may incur additional costs or suffer loss of business under third-party contracts that are terminated or that contain change in control or other provisions that may be triggered by the completion of the transactions, and/or losses of, or decreases in orders by, customers, and may also incur costs to retain certain key management personnel and employees. UTC and Raytheon will also incur transaction fees and costs related to formulating integration plans for the Combined Company, and the execution of these plans may lead to additional unanticipated costs and time delays. These incremental transaction-related costs may exceed the savings the Combined Company expects to achieve from the elimination of duplicative costs and the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, particularly in the near term and in the event there are material unanticipated costs. Factors beyond the parties’ control could affect the total amount or timing of these expenses, many of which, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately.
The market price of the Combined Company’s common stock after the Merger is completed may be affected by factors different from those affecting the price of UTC common stock or Raytheon common stock before the Merger is completed.
Upon completion of the Merger, holders of Raytheon common stock will be holders of common stock of the Combined Company. As the businesses of UTC and Raytheon are different, the results of operations as well as the price of the Combined Company common stock may, in the future, be affected by factors different from those factors affecting each of UTC and Raytheon as an independent stand-alone company. The Combined Company will face additional risks and uncertainties to which each UTC and Raytheon may currently not be exposed. As a result, the market price of the Combined Company’s shares may fluctuate significantly following completion of the Merger. Additionally, as a result of the Distributions, the market price of shares of the Combined Company’s common stock will generally not be affected by factors relating to the Otis business or the Carrier business.
The market price of the Combined Company’s common stock may decline as a result of the Merger, including as a result of some UTC and/or Raytheon stockholders adjusting their portfolios.
The market price of the Combined Company’s common stock may decline as a result of the Merger if, among other things, the operational cost savings estimates in connection with the integration of the businesses of the UTC aerospace businesses and Raytheon’s businesses are not realized, there are unanticipated negative impacts on UTC’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows from either of the Distributions, or if the transaction costs related to the Merger are greater than expected. The market price also may decline if the Combined Company does not achieve the perceived benefits of the Merger (including the Separation and the Distributions) as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts or if the effect of the transactions on the Combined Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts.
In addition, sales of the Combined Company’s common stock after the completion of the transactions may cause the market price of such common stock to decrease. It is estimated that UTC will issue approximately 648 million shares, including share equity awards, of UTC common stock in connection with the Merger, based on the number of outstanding shares, including share equity awards, of Raytheon common stock as of July 11, 2019. Raytheon stockholders may decide not to hold the shares of Combined Company common stock they will receive in the Merger. Certain Raytheon stockholders, such as funds with limitations on their permitted holdings of stock in individual issuers, may be required to sell the shares of Combined Company common stock that they receive in the Merger. UTC stockholders may decide not to continue to hold their shares of common stock following completion of the Merger and/or the Separation and the Distributions. Certain UTC stockholders, such as funds with limitations on their permitted holdings of stock in individual issuers, may be required to sell their shares of common stock following completion of the transactions. Such sales of Combined Company common stock could have the effect of depressing the market price for the Combined Company’s common stock.
Any of these events may make it more difficult for the Combined Company to sell equity or equity-related securities, dilute your ownership interest in the Combined Company and have an adverse impact on the price of the Combined Company’s common stock.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
We and our subsidiaries operate in a number of plants, laboratories, warehouses and office facilities in the U.S. and abroad.
As of December 31, 2019 we owned, leased and/or utilized (through operating agreements) approximately 27 million square feet of floor space for manufacturing, engineering, research, administration, sales and warehousing, 92% of which was located in the U.S. Of such total, 46% was owned (or held under a long-term ground lease with ownership of the improvements), 49% was leased, and 5% was government owned. In addition to the 27 million square feet of floor space described above, 67,081 square feet of space was leased or subleased by us to unrelated third parties.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We primarily engage 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 the U.S. government funds. As a U.S. government contractor, we are subject to many levels of audit and investigation by the U.S. government relating to our contract performance and compliance with applicable rules and regulations. Agencies that oversee contract performance include: the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA); the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA); the Inspectors General of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and other departments and agencies; the Government Accountability Office (GAO); the Department of Justice (DOJ); and Congressional Committees. Other areas of our business operations may also be subject to audit and investigation by these and/or other agencies. From time to time, agencies investigate or conduct audits to determine whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable requirements. Such investigations and audits may be initiated due to a number of reasons, including as a result of a whistleblower complaint. Such investigations and audits could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, the suspension of government export licenses or the 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. Our final allowable incurred costs for each year are also subject to audit and have, from time to time, resulted in disputes between us and the U.S. government, with litigation resulting at the Court of Federal Claims (COFC) or the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) or their related courts of appeals. In addition, the DOJ has, from time to time, convened grand juries to investigate possible irregularities by us. We also provide products and services to customers outside of the U.S., and those sales are subject to local government laws,
regulations and procurement policies and practices. Our compliance with such local government regulations or any applicable U.S. government regulations (e.g., the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)) may also be investigated or audited. Other than as specifically disclosed in this Form 10-K, we do not expect these audits, investigations or disputes to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, either individually or in the aggregate.
In addition, various other claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal course of business are pending or threatened against us. We do not expect these proceedings to result in any additional liability that would materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Introduction
Raytheon Company develops technologically advanced and integrated products, services and solutions in our core markets: integrated air and missile defense; electronic warfare; command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; space systems; effects; and cyber. We serve both domestic and international customers primarily as a prime contractor or subcontractor on a broad portfolio of defense and related programs for government customers.
We operate in five segments: Integrated Defense Systems (IDS); Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS); Missile Systems (MS); Space and Airborne Systems (SAS); and Forcepoint. For a more detailed description of our segments, see “Business Segments” within Item 1 of this Form 10-K.
As previously announced, effective January 1, 2019, we adopted the requirements of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) using the modified retrospective approach as discussed in “Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” within Item 8 of this Form 10-K. We reclassified certain balance sheet amounts to conform to our current period presentation.
On June 9, 2019, Raytheon and United Technologies Corporation (UTC) entered into an agreement to combine in an all-stock merger of equals. The merger is targeted to close early in the second quarter of 2020, subject to and following completion by UTC of the separations and distributions of its Otis and Carrier businesses. Under the terms of the agreement, Raytheon stockholders will receive 2.3348 shares of UTC common stock for each Raytheon share. The agreement provides that upon completion of the merger, UTC stockholders will own approximately 57% and Raytheon stockholders will own approximately 43% of the outstanding shares of common stock of UTC. In addition, the agreement generally restricts certain actions by both Raytheon and UTC. The merger was approved by Raytheon's stockholders at a special meeting of Raytheon held on October 11, 2019, and was approved by UTC stockholders at a special meeting of UTC held on October 11, 2019. For additional information refer to “Note 2: Proposed Merger with United Technologies Corporation (UTC)” within Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Business Environment
Domestic Considerations
U.S. government sales, excluding foreign military sales, accounted for 69% of our total net sales in 2019. Our principal U.S. government customer is the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).
DoD funding levels, which are subject to budget and appropriation decisions and processes, are difficult to predict beyond the near-term. The Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA) imposed spending caps on DoD funding for fiscal years (FY) 2012 to 2021, however the caps have been raised each year since FY 2013, most recently by the Bipartisan Budget Act (BBA) of 2019 for FY 2020 and FY 2021. DoD modernization funding, which consists of procurement and research and development, is of particular importance to defense contractors. DoD modernization funding has steadily increased since FY 2015, including for FY 2020, as a result of the BBA of 2015, the BBA of 2018, and the BBA of 2019. However, future DoD spending levels are uncertain given the lapse in the BCA after FY 2021 and will require the agreement and action of both Congress and the President.
In addition to the DoD budget considerations discussed above, future domestic defense spending levels are impacted by a number of additional factors, including external threats to U.S. national security, funding for on-going counter insurgency/counter terrorism operations overseas, the priorities of the Administration and Congress, overall health of the U.S. and world economies, and the state of governmental finances. However, we expect the DoD to continue to prioritize and protect the key capabilities required to execute its National Defense Strategy, including being able to deter and defeat peer nation threats. Such capabilities include Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), cybersecurity, missile defense, electronic warfare, kinetic and non-kinetic effectors, undersea warfare, space systems, unmanned systems, special operations forces and interoperability with allied forces. We believe those priorities are well aligned with our product offerings, technologies, services and capabilities.
We currently are involved in tens of thousands of contracts, with no single contract accounting for more than 5% of our total net sales in 2019. Although we believe our diverse portfolio of programs and capabilities is well suited to a changing defense environment, we face numerous challenges and risks, as discussed above. For more information on the risks and uncertainties that could impact the U.S. government’s demand for our products and services, see Item 1A of this Form 10-K.
International Considerations
In 2019, our sales to customers outside of the U.S. accounted for 29% of our total net sales (including foreign military sales through the U.S. government). Internationally, the growing threat of additional terrorist activity, cyber threats, emerging nuclear states, long-range missiles and conventional military threats have led to an increase in demand for defense systems and services and other security solutions. In Asia, both short- and long-term regional security concerns are increasing demand for air and missile defense, air/naval modernization and maritime security. In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), threats from state and non-state actors are increasing demand for air and missile defense (including counter-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems), air/land/naval force modernization, precision engagement, ISR, maritime and border security, and cybersecurity solutions. Given such threat environments, we expect our MENA customers to continue to prioritize security investments even if their budgets are impacted by volatile short-term energy prices. In Europe, some countries have begun to increase spending in response to geopolitical events and conflicts in Eastern Europe and the resulting uncertainty in the security threat environment. Based on these factors, we expect that European nations will continue to seek advanced air and missile defense and other capabilities, including ISR and cyber. Overall, we believe many international defense budgets have the potential to grow at a faster rate than the U.S. defense budget. However, international demand is sensitive to changes in the priorities and budgets of international customers and geopolitical uncertainties, which may be driven by changes in threat environments, volatility in worldwide economic conditions, regional and local economic and political factors, U.S. foreign policy and other risks and uncertainties. For more information on the risks and uncertainties that could impact international demand for and our ability to sell our products and services, see Item 1A of this Form 10-K.
Because of the breadth of our offerings, our systems integration capability, the value of our solutions and our strong legacy in the international marketplace, we believe that we are well positioned to continue to grow our international business. We continue to enhance our focus on global growth through increased investment in our international business in existing and new international markets. Such investment provides additional resources and capabilities, both in-country and in the U.S., that strengthen the Company’s position to pursue both existing and new opportunities. We also continue to adjust our international business activities to address customer priorities. Although we believe our international business is well positioned to continue to grow, we recognize that we face substantial competition from both U.S. companies and other competitors in international markets, as well as the challenges of changing budget priorities, overall spending pressures, geopolitical uncertainties and the timing of contract awards.

Our Strategy
The following are the broad elements of our strategy:
| |
| – | Build upon our areas of strength within our key mission areas; |
| |
| – | Focus additional resources on emerging opportunities within the DoD market; |
| |
| – | Extend Raytheon’s advanced cyber solutions beyond the U.S. government into international and commercial markets; and |
| |
| – | Engage key countries as individual markets with multiple customers. |
We believe that our broad mix of technologies, domain expertise and key capabilities, our cost-effective, best-value solutions and the alignment of these strengths with customer needs position us favorably to grow in our key mission areas of: integrated air and missile defense; electronic warfare; command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; space systems; effects; and cyber. Globally, customers are increasingly seeking cost-effective mission solutions. These solutions can take the form of new electronics or electronic upgrades, but draw on our market focus area capabilities, deep domain expertise and system architecture skills. We continue to explore opportunities to make these affordable solutions more readily available to our international customers, including through enhanced design for export and releasability. We also continue to make investments to support our strategy, including through acquisitions and research and development. We seek to continuously innovate and refresh technology in our current franchises—advanced solution sets for which we expect longer-term customer demand, such as our Patriot Air and Missile Defense (A&MD) system, Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR), and Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS)—and we use the related expertise to work to create new franchises and expand internationally. Moreover, we expect to continue to expand our customer base in key countries.
We provide cyber capabilities to government customers, including the Intelligence Community, the DoD, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and other defense and civil global customers, as well as embed information assurance capabilities in our products and our information technology infrastructure. We believe cyber markets continue to represent strong growth markets for Raytheon. We expect to continue to seek opportunities to leverage our extensive cyber capabilities and to grow and scale our cyber businesses.
Focus on the Customer and Execution
Our customer focus continues to be critical to the execution of our strategy—underpinned by a focus on performance, relationships and solutions. Performance means being able to meet customer commitments, which is ensured through strong processes, metrics and oversight. We maintain a “process architecture” that spans our defense businesses and our broad programs and pursuits. It consists of enterprisewide processes and systems such as: our Integrated Product Development System (IPDS), which assures consistency of evaluation and execution at each step in a program’s life-cycle; Product Data Management (PDM), which is our business system software for engineering; Achieving Process Excellence (APEX), which is our SAP business system software for accounting, finance and program management; Process Re-Invention Integrating Systems for Manufacturing (PRISM), which is our SAP software for manufacturing operations; Advanced Company Estimating System (ACES), which is our cost proposal system; and Raytheon Enterprise Supplier Assessment (RESA) tool for Supply Chain Management. These processes and systems are linked to an array of front-end and back-end metrics. With this structure, we are able to track results and be alerted to potential issues through numerous oversight mechanisms, including operating reviews and annual operating plan reviews.
We are also continuing to build strong customer relationships by working with customers as partners and including them on Raytheon Six Sigma™ teams to jointly improve their programs and processes. We are increasingly focused on responding to our customers’ changing requirements with rapid and effective solutions to real-world problems. In recognition of our customers’ constraints and priorities, we also continue to drive various cost reductions across the Company by continuing to focus on enterprise collaboration and improving productivity and strong execution throughout our programs. We have worked to reduce costs across the Company and improve efficiencies in our production facilities, and we continue to increase value through Raytheon Six Sigma, the implementation of lean processes, reduced cycle times and strategic supply chain initiatives,
in addition to other initiatives. To further increase efficiencies, we are also developing and applying new technologies to our development and production solutions. These technologies include additive manufacturing (AM) for rapid prototyping and novel product realization, and data analytics and machine learning to optimize production and product test.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY

| |
| – | Net Sales—a growth metric that measures our revenue for the current year; |
| |
| – | Operating Income—a measure of our profit from continuing operations for the year, before non-operating expenses, net and taxes; and |
| |

Backlog, which is equivalent to our remaining performance obligations, represents the dollar value of firm orders for which work has not been performed. Backlog generally increases with bookings and generally converts into sales as we incur costs under the related contractual commitments. Therefore, we discuss changes in backlog, including any individually significant cancellations, for each of our segments, as we believe such discussion provides an understanding of the awarded but not executed portions of our contracts. Backlog excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts (e.g., indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ)). Backlog is affected by changes in foreign exchange rates.
In addition, we maintain a strong focus on program execution and the prudent management of capital and investments in order to maximize operating income and cash. We focus on earnings per share (EPS) and measures to assess our cash generation and the efficiency and effectiveness of our use of capital, such as free cash flow (FCF) and return on invested capital (ROIC), both of which are not defined measurements under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and may be calculated differently by other companies.
Considered together, we believe these metrics are strong indicators of our overall performance and our ability to create shareholder value. We feel these measures are balanced among long-term and short-term performance, efficiency and growth. We also use these and other performance metrics for executive compensation purposes.
A discussion of our results of operations and financial condition follows below in Consolidated Results of Operations, Segment Results, Financial Condition and Liquidity, and Capital Resources.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our consolidated financial statements are based on the application of U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty; therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to our consolidated financial statements. We believe the estimates set forth below may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity in their application than our other accounting estimates and represent the critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We believe our judgments related to these accounting estimates are appropriate. However, if different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from the amounts recorded.
Revenue Recognition
We determine the appropriate revenue recognition for our contracts with customers by analyzing the type, terms and conditions of each contract or arrangement with a customer. We classify contract revenues as product or service according to the predominant attributes of the relevant underlying contracts unless the contract can clearly be split between product and service. We define service revenue as revenue from activities that are not associated with the design, development or production of tangible assets, the delivery of software code or capability design. Our service revenue is primarily related to our IIS business segment.
The following provides additional information about our contracts with customers, the judgments we make in accounting for those contracts, and the resulting amounts recognized in our financial statements.
Accounting for long-term contracts for complex aerospace or defense equipment (or related services)—To determine the proper revenue recognition method for contracts for complex aerospace or defense equipment or related services, we evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period. For most of our contracts, the customer contracts with us to provide a significant service of integrating a complex set of tasks and components into a single project or capability (even if that single project results in the delivery of multiple units). Hence, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. Less commonly, however, we may promise to provide distinct goods or services within a contract, for example when a contract covers multiple phases of the product lifecycle (e.g., development, production, maintenance and support), in which case we separate the contract into more than one performance obligation. If a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, we allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. We infrequently sell standard products with observable standalone sales. In cases where we do, the observable standalone sales are used to determine the standalone selling price. More frequently, we sell a customized customer specific solution, and in these cases we typically use the expected cost plus a margin approach to estimate the standalone selling price of each performance obligation.
We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. For certain contracts that meet the foregoing requirements, primarily international direct commercial sale contracts, we are required to obtain certain regulatory approvals. In these cases, we recognize revenue based on the likelihood of obtaining regulatory approvals based upon all known facts and circumstances.
We generally recognize revenue over time as we perform on our contractual performance obligations because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. For U.S. government contracts, this continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contract that allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay us for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and take control of any work in process. Similarly, for non-U.S. government contracts, the customer typically controls the work in process as evidenced either by contractual termination clauses or by our rights to payment for work performed to date plus a reasonable profit to deliver products or services that do not have an alternative use to the Company.
Because of control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. We generally use the cost-to-cost measure of progress for our contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. The majority of our sales are driven by pricing based on costs incurred to produce products or perform services under contracts with the U.S. government, as determined under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The FAR provides guidance on the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services under U.S. government contracts. Costs to fulfill include labor, materials and subcontractors’ costs, other direct costs and an allocation of indirect costs including pension and any other postretirement benefit (PRB) expense under U.S. government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS).
Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of our performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion (the process described below in more detail) is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment by management on a contract by contract basis. It is common for our long-term contracts to contain award fees, incentive fees, or other provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. These variable amounts generally are awarded upon achievement of certain performance metrics, program milestones or cost targets and can be based upon customer discretion. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us.
Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. We consider contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Most of our contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis.
We have a companywide standard and disciplined quarterly Estimate at Completion (EAC) process in which management reviews the progress and execution of our performance obligations. As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. The risks and opportunities include management’s judgment about the ability and cost to achieve the schedule (e.g., the number and type of milestone events), technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product) and other contract requirements. Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the performance obligation (e.g., to estimate increases in wages and prices for materials and related support cost allocations), execution by our subcontractors, the availability and timing of funding from our customer, and overhead cost rates, among other variables. These estimates also include the estimated cost of satisfying our industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes in the form of either offset obligations or in-country industrial participation (ICIP) agreements, required under certain contracts. These obligations may or may not be distinct depending on their nature.
Based on this analysis, any quarterly adjustments to net sales, cost of sales and the related impact to operating income are recognized as necessary in the period they become known. These adjustments may result from positive program performance, and may result in an increase in operating income during the performance of individual performance obligations, if we determine we will be successful in mitigating risks surrounding the technical, schedule and cost aspects of those performance obligations or realizing related opportunities. Likewise, these adjustments may result in a decrease in operating income if we determine we will not be successful in mitigating these risks or realizing related opportunities. Changes in estimates of net sales, cost of sales and the related impact to operating income are recognized quarterly on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a performance obligation’s percentage of completion. A significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of one or more of our performance obligations. When estimates of total costs to be incurred exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned on a performance obligation related to complex aerospace or defense equipment or related services, or product maintenance or separately priced extended warranty, a provision for the entire loss on the performance obligation is recognized in the period the loss is identified.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits (PRB) Costs
We have pension plans covering the majority of our employees hired prior to January 1, 2007, including certain employees in foreign countries (Pension Benefits). We must apply both Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) requirements under U.S. GAAP and Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) requirements. U.S. GAAP outlines the methodology used to determine net periodic pension and PRB expense or income for financial reporting purposes (FAS expense). CAS prescribes the allocation to and recovery of pension and PRB costs on U.S. government contracts (CAS expense). The CAS requirements for pension and PRB costs and its calculation methodology differ from the FAS requirements and calculation methodology. As a result, while both CAS and FAS calculation methodologies use long-term assumptions requiring judgment, each method results in different calculated amounts of pension and PRB cost. In addition, we are subject to the funding requirements under the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA), which amended the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Under the PPA, we are required to fully fund our pension plans over a rolling seven-year period as determined annually based upon the PPA calculated funded status at the beginning of each year. The funding requirements are primarily based on the year’s expected service cost and amortization of other previously unfunded liabilities. Due to the differences in requirements and calculation methodologies, our FAS expense is not indicative of the PPA funding requirements.
The results of each segment only include pension and PRB expense as determined under CAS. Our FAS expense is split between operating income and non-operating income where only the service cost component of FAS expense is included in operating income. The difference between our CAS expense and the service cost component of our FAS expense is the FAS/CAS Operating Adjustment and is reported as a separate line in our segment results. The FAS/CAS Operating Adjustment effectively decreases the amount of pension expense in operating income so that such amount is equal to the service cost component of FAS expense under U.S. GAAP. The FAS/CAS Operating Adjustment was $1,454 million, $1,428 million and $1,303 million of income in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The non-service related components of FAS expense are included in retirement benefits non-service expense in non-operating (income) expense, net and were $688 million, $1,230 million and $913 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
On December 27, 2011, the CAS Pension Harmonization Rule (CAS Harmonization) was published in the Federal Register. The rule was intended to improve the alignment of the pension cost recovered through contract pricing under CAS and the pension funding requirements under the PPA. The rule shortened the CAS amortization period for gains and losses from 15 to 10 years and requires the use of a discount rate based on high quality corporate bonds, consistent with PPA, to measure liabilities in determining the CAS pension expense. CAS Harmonization increased pension costs under CAS starting in 2014 due to the transition phase in of 0% in 2013, 25% in 2014, 50% in 2015, 75% in 2016 and 100% in 2017 and beyond.
Due to the low interest rate environment, Congress provided for temporary pension funding relief through a provision in the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2012 (STE Act). The provision was extended through 2020 by the Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 (HATFA) and the Bipartisan Budget Act (BBA) of 2015. The provision adjusts the 24-month average high quality corporate bond rates used to determine the PPA funded status so that they are within a floor and cap, or “corridor,” based on the 25-year average of corporate bond rates. Beginning after 2020, the provision will be gradually phased out. This provision impacts CAS expense as well because CAS Harmonization incorporates the PPA interest rate into CAS calculations. The BBA of 2015 also increases the insurance premiums that we are required to pay the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC). However, we do not expect the increases to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
The assumptions in the calculations of our pension FAS expense and CAS expense, which involve significant judgment, are described below.
FAS Expense—Our long-term return on plan assets (ROA) and discount rate assumptions are the key variables in determining the net periodic benefit cost and the pension benefit obligation of our pension plans under U.S. GAAP. Our long-term ROA
assumption only impacts the retirement benefits non-service expense. The discount rate assumption impacts the service cost component of FAS expense and retirement benefits non-service expense, while also impacting the pension benefit obligation.
The long-term ROA represents the average rate of earnings expected over the long term on the assets invested to provide for anticipated future benefit payment obligations. The long-term ROA used to calculate net periodic pension cost is set annually at the beginning of each year. Given the long-term nature of the ROA assumption, which we believe should not be solely reactive to short-term market conditions that may not persist, we expect the long-term ROA to remain unchanged unless there are significant changes in our investment strategy, the underlying economic assumptions or other major factors.
To establish our long-term ROA assumption we employ a “building block” approach. Under this building block method, the overall expected investment return equals the weighted-average of the individual expected return for each asset class based on the target asset allocation and the long-term capital market assumptions. The expected return for each asset class is composed of inflation plus a risk-free rate of return, plus an expected risk premium for that asset class. The resulting return is then adjusted for administrative, investment management and trading expenses as well as recognition of excess returns, also known as alpha, for active management. We then annually consider whether it is appropriate to change our long-term ROA assumption by reviewing the existing assumption against a statistically determined reasonable range of outcomes. The building block approach and the reasonable range of outcomes are based upon our asset allocation assumptions and long-term capital market assumptions. Such assumptions incorporate the economic outlook for various asset classes over short- and long-term periods and also take into consideration other factors, including historical market performance, inflation and interest rates.
Actuarial Standard of Practice No. 27, Selection of Economic Assumptions for Measuring Pension Obligations (ASOP 27) requires the selection of a reasonable long-term ROA assumption that considers multiple criteria including the purposes of measurement, the actuary’s professional judgment, historical and current economic data and estimates of future experience and has no significant bias. We evaluate our long-term ROA assumption against a reasonable range of possible outcomes which we define as between the 35th to 65th percentile likelihood of achieving a long-term return over future years. We believe that validating our ROA assumption within this reasonable range ensures an unbiased result while also ensuring that the ROA assumption is not solely reactive to short-term market conditions that may not persist, and is consistent with external actuarial practices.
The reasonable range of long-term returns that was used to validate the long-term ROA assumption for the calculation of the net periodic benefit cost for 2019, 2018 and 2017 is shown below.
|
| | | | | | | | |
| Percentile | 2019 |
| | 2018 |
| | 2017 |
|
35th | 5.49 | % | | 5.67 | % | | 5.82 | % |
65th | 7.57 | % | | 7.81 | % | | 7.96 | % |
2017 ROA Assumption—At year end 2016, we determined that the 8.0% long-term ROA assumption no longer fell within the range of reasonable outcomes, driven primarily by the current outlook on economic assumptions used to develop the reasonable range. As a result, we employed the building block approach described above to develop our 2017 long-term ROA assumption. The building block approach resulted in a long-term ROA assumption of 7.5% for 2017. To validate this assumption, we compared the result against the reasonable range of outcomes and confirmed that the 7.5% fell between the 55th and 60th percentile of the reasonable range for 2017 with the 50th percentile at 6.89%.
Based upon our application of the building block approach and our review of the resulting assumption against the 35th to 65th percentile reasonable range and an analysis of our historical results, we established a 2017 long-term ROA domestic assumption of 7.5% for purposes of determining the net periodic benefit cost for 2017 and determined that the assumption is reasonable and consistent with the provisions of ASOP 27.
2018 ROA Assumption—The long-term domestic ROA of 7.5% fell between the 60th and 65th percentiles of the applicable reasonable range for 2018. The 50th percentile of this reasonable range was 6.74%.
2019 ROA Assumption—The long-term domestic ROA of 7.5% fell between the 60th and 65th percentiles of the applicable reasonable range for 2019. The 50th percentile of this reasonable range was 6.53%.
2020 ROA Assumption—At year end 2019, we determined that the 7.5% long-term ROA assumption no longer fell within the range of reasonable outcomes, driven primarily by the current outlook on economic assumptions used to develop the reasonable range. As a result, we employed the building block approach described above to develop our 2020 long-term ROA assumption. The building block approach resulted in a long-term ROA assumption of 7.0% for 2020. To validate this assumption, we compared the result against the reasonable range of outcomes and confirmed that the 7.0% fell between the 60th and 65th percentile of the reasonable range for 2020 with the 50th percentile at 6.31%.
Once our long-term ROA has been determined to be within the 35th to 65th percentile range of results, we review historical averages and patterns of returns to confirm the reasonableness of our long-term ROA assumption compared to past results. While history is not solely indicative of future market expectations, it does provide insight into general historical trends and long-term asset performance. Our average annual actual rate of return from 1986 to 2019 of 8.89%, determined on an arithmetic basis, exceeds our estimated 7.0% assumed return. Arithmetic annual averages represent the simple average returns over independent annual periods, whereas geometric returns reflect the compound average returns of dependent annual periods. The average annual actual return on a geometric basis for the same period was 8.25%. In addition, the actual annual returns have exceeded our long-term ROA assumption of 7.0% in five of the past ten years.
Based upon our application of the building block approach and our review of the resulting assumption against the 35th to 65th percentile reasonable range and an analysis of our historical results, we established a 2020 long-term ROA domestic assumption of 7.0% for purposes of determining the net periodic benefit cost for 2020 and determined that the assumption is reasonable and consistent with the provisions of ASOP 27.
If we significantly change our long-term investment allocation or strategy, or if there is a significant change in the economic assumptions, then our long-term ROA assumption could change in the future.
Our domestic pension plans’ actual rates of return were approximately 19%, (4)% and 15% for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The difference between the actual rate of return and our long-term ROA assumption is included in deferred gains and losses.
The investment policy asset allocation ranges for our domestic pension plans, as set by our Investment Committee, for the year ended December 31, 2019 were as follows:
|
| | |
| Asset Category | |
| Global equity (combined U.S. and international equity) | | 30%-60% |
| U.S. equities | | 20%-35% |
| International equities | | 10%-25% |
| Fixed income | | 20%-45% |
| Cash and cash equivalents | | 0%-10% |
| Private equity and private real estate funds | | 10%-20% |
| Real assets | | 0%-4% |
| Other (including absolute return funds) | | 5%-15% |
The long-term ROA assumptions for our foreign Pension Benefits plans are based on the asset allocations and the economic environment prevailing in the locations where the Pension Benefits plans reside. Foreign pension assets do not make up a significant portion of the total assets for all of our Pension Benefits plans.
The discount rate represents the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of future cash flows currently expected to be required to settle our pension obligations. The discount rate assumption is determined by using a theoretical bond portfolio model consisting of bonds rated AA or better by Moody’s Investors Service for which the timing and amount of cash flows approximate the estimated benefit payments for each of our pension plans. The discount rate assumption for our domestic pension plans at December 31, 2019 is 3.29%, which represents a weighted-average discount rate across our plans, compared to the December 31, 2018 discount rate of 4.33%.
CAS Expense—In addition to providing the methodology for calculating pension costs, CAS also prescribes the method for assigning those costs to specific periods. While the ultimate liability for pension costs under FAS and CAS is similar, the
pattern of cost recognition is different. The key drivers of CAS pension expense include the funded status and the method used to calculate CAS reimbursement for each of our plans. Under the prior CAS rules, the discount rate used to measure liabilities was required to be consistent with the long-term ROA assumption, which generally does not change annually given its long-term nature. In addition to certain other changes, CAS Harmonization requires contractors to compare the liability under the prior CAS methodology and assumptions to a liability using a discount rate based on high-quality corporate bonds, and use the greater of the two liability calculations in developing CAS expense. In addition, unlike FAS, we can only allocate pension costs for a plan under CAS until such plan is fully funded as determined under CAS requirements. When the estimated future CAS pension costs increase, the estimated CAS cost allocated to our contracts in the future increases.
Other FAS and CAS Considerations—An increase or decrease of 25 basis points in the discount rate assumption would have had the following approximate impacts on 2019 domestic FAS pension results:
|
| | | | | | | |
| (In millions) | Increase | | Decrease |
| Service cost component of FAS expense | $ | (17 | ) | | $ | 18 |
|
| Retirement benefits non-service expense | (42 | ) | | 43 |
|
| Projected benefit obligations | (860 | ) | | 910 |
|
Changes in the high-quality corporate bond rate assumption could impact the CAS discount rate for purposes of determining CAS pension expense due to CAS Harmonization. However in 2019, the CAS pension expense was not impacted by this assumption due to the passage of the HATFA and the BBA of 2015 which extended the provisions of pension funding relief as described above. The discount rate assumption could impact CAS pension expense in future periods depending upon the interest rate and regulatory environments.
An increase or decrease of 25 basis points in the long-term ROA assumption for the domestic pension plans would have had the following approximate impacts on 2019 FAS and CAS pension results:
|
| | | | | | | |
| (In millions) | Increase | | Decrease |
| Retirement benefits non-service expense | $ | (47 | ) | | $ | 47 |
|
| CAS expense | 8 |
| | (8 | ) |
| FAS/CAS Operating Adjustment | 8 |
| | (8 | ) |
A portion of the $8 million change in CAS pension expense would also be allocated to fixed-price contracts in backlog and would either increase or decrease the profit rate on those contracts at the time of such a change (i.e., a change in the long-term ROA assumption on January 1, 2019 would drive a change in estimated costs in EACs and related contract profit rates as of December 31, 2018). The contract impact resulting from the change in CAS pension expense is difficult to estimate because of changes to remaining performance periods, the amount and timing of expected new awards (i.e., the proposals expected to be awarded in the year which will bear their allocated portion of the change in CAS pension expense), and our mix of fixed-price and cost reimbursable contracts. For example, based on our contract profile at December 31, 2018, if we had 61% of our backlog in fixed-price contracts, and they were on average 50% complete, with our actual new award profile for 2019, a 25 basis point increase in our long-term ROA assumption at January 1, 2019 would drive $2 million of unfavorable EAC adjustments at December 31, 2018. In addition, our fixed-price contracts in backlog as of December 31, 2018 would have a lower profit rate in 2019, resulting in a $1 million unfavorable impact as costs are incurred in that year on those contracts. The total impact on 2018 would be an unfavorable $2 million driven by the aggregate EAC adjustments and the total impact on 2019 would be favorable by approximately $54 million (the FAS/CAS Operating Adjustment and retirement benefits non-service expense, partially offset by the lower profit rate impact in 2019 on fixed-price contracts in backlog at December 31, 2018). A change in our long-term ROA assumption would be subject to review by our government customer for reasonableness. Given our history of recovering changes to CAS pension expense, we expect the assumption change would be allocable and allowable, per regulatory guidelines, as long as the assumption is reasonable.
The impact of changing our long-term ROA for our domestic pension plans from 8.0% to 7.5% in 2017 increased our retirement benefits non-service expense by $87 million, decreased our CAS expense by $18 million and decreased our FAS/CAS Operating Adjustment to income by $18 million in 2017, since long-term ROA does not impact the service cost component of FAS expense. The CAS impact is primarily driven by whether the pre-CAS Harmonization methodology applies, which uses a discount rate based on the long-term ROA assumption, or the post-CAS Harmonization methodology applies, which uses a
discount rate based on high-quality corporate bond rates. The actual CAS impact is not linear and can vary significantly from the theoretical impact described above because it relies on the actual change in the long-term ROA and the corresponding relationship between the long-term ROA, which is used under the pre-CAS Harmonization methodology, and the high-quality corporate bond rates, which are used under the post-CAS Harmonization methodology. In addition, the timing of the change relative to the transition period for CAS Harmonization affects the CAS impact. The $18 million decrease in our CAS expense in 2017 was included in our EACs and did not have a significant impact on our 2016 results based on our overall ending overhead positions.
In accordance with both FAS and CAS, a calculated “market-related value” of our plan assets is used to develop the amount of deferred asset gains or losses to be amortized. The market-related value of assets is determined using actual asset gains or losses over a certain prior period (three years for FAS and five years for CAS, subject to certain limitations under CAS on the difference between the market-related value and actual market value of assets). Because of this difference in the number of years over which actual asset gains or losses are recognized and subsequently amortized, retirement benefits non-service expense generally tends to reflect recent asset gains or losses faster than CAS. The funded status of our pension plans under CAS is another driver of our CAS expense, but has no impact on our FAS expense. As noted above, CAS expense is only recognized for plans that are not fully funded; consequently, if plans become or cease to be fully funded under CAS due to our asset or liability experience, our CAS expense will change accordingly.
Under FAS, a “corridor” approach may be elected and applied in the recognition of asset and liability gains or losses which limits expense recognition to the net outstanding gains and losses in excess of the greater of 10% of the projected benefit obligation (PBO) or the calculated “market-related value” of assets. We do not use a “corridor” approach in the calculation of FAS pension expense.
Our pension and PRB plans’ investments are stated at fair value. Investments in equity securities are valued at the last reported sales price when an active market exists. Investments in fixed income securities are generally valued using methods based upon market transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional market participants. Investments in funds are estimated at fair market value, which primarily utilizes net asset values reported by the investment manager or fund administrator. We review additional valuation and pricing information from fund managers, including audited financial statements, to evaluate the net asset values.
The change in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) related to pension and PRB plans was as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| (In millions) | | 2019 |
| | 2018 |
| | 2017 |
|
| Beginning balance | | $ | (10,738 | ) | | $ | (11,766 | ) | | $ | (11,115 | ) |

| Ending balance | | $ | (11,560 | ) | | $ | (10,738 | ) | | $ | (11,766 | ) |
The balance in AOCL related to our pension and PRB plans is composed primarily of differences between changes in discount rates, differences between actual and expected asset returns, differences between actual and assumed demographic experience and changes in plan provisions. Changes to our pension and PRB obligation as a result of these variables are initially reflected in other comprehensive income. The deferred gains and losses are amortized and included in future retirement benefits non-service expense over the average employee service period of approximately ten years at December 31, 2019. The $1.9 billion in 2019 losses arising during the period were driven primarily by the decrease in the discount rate from 4.33% at December 31, 2018 to 3.29% at December 31, 2019, which had an impact of approximately $3.5 billion, as well as other actuarial factors, partially offset by actual returns, which were higher than our expected return, and had an impact of approximately $2.1 billion.
The $0.6 billion in 2018 losses arising during the period were driven primarily by actual returns, which were lower than our expected return, and had an impact of approximately $2.2 billion, as well as other actuarial factors, partially offset by an increase in the discount rate from 3.72% at December 31, 2017 to 4.33% at December 31, 2018, which had an impact of approximately $1.9 billion.
The $1.8 billion in 2017 losses arising during the period were driven primarily by the decrease in the discount rate from 4.36% at December 31, 2016 to 3.72% at December 31, 2017, which had an impact of approximately $2.1 billion, as well as other
actuarial factors, partially offset by actual returns, which were higher than our expected return, and had an impact of approximately $1.3 billion.
Goodwill
We evaluate our goodwill for impairment annually as of the first day of our fiscal fourth quarter and in any interim period in which circumstances arise that indicate our goodwill may be impaired. Indicators of impairment include, but are not limited to, the loss of significant business, significant decreases in federal government appropriations or funding for our contracts, or other significant adverse changes in industry or market conditions. No events occurred during the periods presented that indicated the existence of an impairment with respect to our goodwill. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow (DCF) model based on our most recent long-range plan in place at the time of our impairment testing, and compare the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its net book value, including goodwill. We discount the cash flow forecasts using the weighted-average cost of capital method at the date of evaluation. The weighted-average cost of capital is comprised of the estimated required rate of return on equity, based on publicly available data for peer companies plus an equity risk premium related to specific company risk factors, and the after tax rate of return on debt, each weighted at the relative values of the estimated debt and equity for the industry. Preparation of forecasts for use in the long-range plan and the selection of the discount rate involve significant judgments that we base primarily on existing firm orders, expected future orders, contracts with suppliers, labor agreements and general market conditions. Significant changes in these forecasts or the discount rate selected could affect the estimated fair value of one or more of our reporting units and could result in a goodwill impairment charge in a future period. When available and as appropriate, we also use comparative market multiples to corroborate our DCF model results. There was no indication of goodwill impairment as a result of our 2019 annual impairment analysis, as the fair values of each of our reporting units substantially exceeded their respective net book values, including goodwill.
Based on our 2019 impairment analysis the reporting unit that was closest to impairment was the Forcepoint reporting unit, which had a fair value in excess of net book value, including goodwill, of approximately 50%. All other factors equal, a 10% decrease in expected future cash flows for our Forcepoint reporting unit would result in an excess of fair value over net book value of approximately 35%. Alternatively, all other factors being equal, a 100 basis points increase in the discount rate used in the calculation of the fair value of our Forcepoint reporting unit would result in an excess of fair value over net book value of approximately 40%. Based on our 2019 impairment analysis of our other reporting units, the reporting unit that was closest to impairment had a fair value in excess of net book value, including goodwill, of approximately 185%. If we are required to record an impairment charge in the future, it could materially affect our results of operations.

Total Net Sales - 2019 vs. 2018—The increase in total net sales of $2,118 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to higher external net sales of $725 million at IDS and $589 million at SAS. The increase in net sales at IDS was primarily due to higher net sales on certain European Patriot programs awarded in 2018 and the second quarter of 2019, higher net sales on an international air and missile defense system program awarded in the third quarter of 2019, driven primarily by the recognition of previously deferred precontract and inventoried costs and higher net sales on a missile defense radar program for an international customer with awards in the second and fourth quarters of 2019, partially offset by lower net sales on certain international Patriot programs due to the scheduled completion of certain production phases of the programs. The increase in net sales at SAS was primarily due to higher net sales on classified programs principally driven by 2018 awards, higher net sales on the Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared (Next Gen OPIR) program for the U.S. Air Force awarded in the third quarter of 2018, higher net sales on Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) production programs primarily due to increased customer demand and higher net sales on tactical radar systems development programs due to scheduled increases in program activity.
Products and Services Net Sales - 2019 vs. 2018—The increase in products net sales of $1,802 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to higher external products net sales of $614 million at SAS and $601 million at IDS, both primarily due to higher products net sales on the programs described above in Total Net Sales. The increase in services net sales of $316 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to higher external services net sales of $160 million at IIS principally due to higher services net sales from the consolidation of Range Generation Next LLC (RGNext) in the first quarter of 2019, higher services net sales on certain classified programs and higher services net sales on the Development, Operations and Maintenance (DOMino) cyber program for the DHS due to planned program schedule requirements, partially offset by lower services net sales on programs in support of the U.S. Army’s Warfighter Field Operations Customer Support (Warfighter FOCUS) activities, which continue to transition to a number of competitively-awarded replacement programs, with the remaining change spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver. In the first quarter of 2019, we amended and restated the RGNext joint venture agreement and acquired an additional 10% equity ownership in the joint venture, increasing our equity ownership to 60% and giving us control of the operations of RGNext with the partner having only protective rights. The results of RGNext are included in IIS’s segment results effective as of the February 8, 2019 consolidation date. See “Note 4: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Goodwill” within Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional detail.
Total Net Sales - 2018 vs. 2017—The increase in total net sales of $1,710 million in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to higher external net sales of $545 million at IIS and $482 million at MS. The increase in external net sales at IIS was primarily due to higher net sales on classified programs in both cyber and space, higher net sales in support of the DOMino cyber program for the DHS, which was awarded in the fourth quarter of 2017, and higher net sales on programs in support of the U.S. Army’s Warfighter FOCUS activities driven principally by customer determined activity levels. The increase in external net sales at MS was primarily due to higher net sales on classified programs, partially offset by lower net sales on the Paveway program principally driven by reductions of expected costs in the third quarter of 2017 to fulfill industrial cooperation agreements, and decreases in production costs and unit pricing.
Products and Services Net Sales - 2018 vs. 2017—The increase in products net sales of $1,217 million in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to higher external products net sales of $446 million at MS and $326 million at SAS. The increase in products net sales at MS was primarily due to higher products net sales on certain classified programs described above in Total Net Sales and higher products net sales on the Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) program due to planned increases in production, partially offset by lower products net sales on the Paveway program described above in Total Net Sales. The increase in products net sales at SAS was primarily due to higher products net sales on a domestic tactical radar systems production program due to scheduled increases in production and higher products net sales on surveillance and targeting systems programs primarily due to a production program for the U.S. Air Force awarded in the third quarter of 2018 and planned increases in production on certain surveillance and targeting systems programs. The increase in services net sales of $493 million in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to higher external services net sales of $421 million at IIS principally due to higher services net sales on the DOMino cyber and U.S. Army’s Warfighter FOCUS programs described above in Total Net Sales and higher services net sales on certain classified programs.

As described above in Domestic Considerations, U.S. defense spending levels are difficult to predict due to numerous factors, including U.S. government budget appropriation decisions, geopolitical events and macroeconomic conditions.
Total Cost of Sales
Cost of sales, for both products and services, consists of labor, materials and subcontractors costs, as well as related allocated costs. For each of our contracts, we manage the nature and amount of direct costs at the contract level, and manage indirect costs through cost pools as required by government accounting regulations. The estimate of the actual amount of direct and indirect costs forms the basis for estimating our total costs at completion of the contract.

Total Cost of Sales - 2019 vs. 2018—The increase in total cost of sales of $1,840 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to higher external cost of sales at IDS, MS, and SAS. The increase in cost of sales at IDS was primarily due to the programs described above in Total Net Sales. The increase in cost of sales at MS was primarily due to higher cost of sales on classified programs, partially offset by lower cost of sales on the Paveway program due to planned decreases in production, with the remaining change spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver. The increase in cost of sales at SAS was primarily due to the programs described above in Total Net Sales.
Products and Services Cost of Sales - 2019 vs. 2018—The increase in products cost of sales of $1,639 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to higher external products cost of sales at IDS, SAS and MS. The increases in products cost of sales at IDS and SAS were primarily due to the programs described above in Total Net Sales. The increase in products cost of sales at MS was due to higher cost of sales on certain classified programs described above in Total Cost of Sales, partially offset by lower cost of sales on the Paveway program described above in Total Cost of Sales, with the remaining change spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver. The increase in services cost of sales of $201 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to higher external services cost of sales at IDS and IIS. The increase in services cost of sales at IDS was primarily due to an international technical and logistics support contract awarded in the third quarter of 2019, driven by the recognition of previously deferred precontract costs, increased support services on missile defense radar programs and increased Patriot support services for an international customer. The increase in services cost of sales at IIS was primarily due to the programs described above in Total Net Sales.
Total Cost of Sales - 2018 vs. 2017—The increase in total cost of sales of $1,233 million in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to higher external cost of sales at IIS and MS. The increase in total costs of sales at IIS was primarily due to the

The increase in administrative and selling expenses of $151 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to $51 million of costs related to the proposed merger with UTC and higher administrative and selling expenses at IDS primarily related to activities to support an advanced radar pursuit.
Administrative and selling expenses in 2018 were relatively consistent with 2017.
Included in administrative and selling expenses is the provision for state income taxes, which generally can be recovered through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. government. Net state income taxes allocated to our contracts were $31 million, $18 million and $32 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
The decrease in research and development expenses of $109 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to lower independent research and development activity at MS due to an increase in customer-funded research and development.
The increase in research and development expenses of $141 million in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to higher research and development expenses at SAS related to advanced capabilities and at IDS related to next-generation technologies.

The decrease in total non-operating (income) expense, net of $603 million in 2019 compared to 2018, was primarily due to a decrease in retirement benefits non-service expense of $542 million principally driven by the recognition of a non-cash pension settlement charge of $288 million during the third quarter of 2018 and a decrease in the amortization of net actuarial loss in 2019 compared to 2018 due to a decrease in the unamortized loss at December 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017. The settlement charge was the acceleration of actuarial losses previously included in AOCL for certain Raytheon-sponsored pension plans that purchased a group annuity contract from an insurance company to transfer $923 million of our outstanding pension benefit obligations in the third quarter of 2018. See “Note 14: Pension and Other Employee Benefits” within Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further details. Included in the change in other (income) expense, net was a $48 million change in the mark-to-market of marketable securities held in trusts associated with certain of our nonqualified deferred compensation and employee benefit plans, due to net gains of $43 million in 2019 compared to net losses of $5 million in 2018, a $17 million charge related to the settlement of our treasury rate locks in the fourth quarter of 2019 without the issuance of debt due to merger considerations and a non-cash gain of $14 million in the third quarter of 2019 related to the revaluation of an investment in equity securities of a non-publicly traded company due to the availability of updated pricing data from a recent transaction.
The increase in total non-operating (income) expense, net, of $273 million in 2018 compared to 2017, was primarily due to an increase in retirement benefits non-service expense of $317 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $21 million and a decrease in other (income) expense, net of $13 million. The increase in retirement benefits non-service expense was principally driven by the recognition of a non-cash pension settlement charge of $288 million during the third quarter of 2018, as described above. The remaining change was primarily related to changes in the discount rate, offset by asset performance and the impact of discretionary pension contributions. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the repurchase of long-term debt in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease in other (income) expense, net was principally driven by a $39 million before tax charge associated with the make-whole provision on the early repurchase of long-term debt in the second quarter of 2017, partially offset by a $26 million change in the mark-to-market to fair value of marketable securities held in trusts associated with certain of our non-qualified deferred compensation and employee benefit plans, due to net losses of $5 million in 2018 compared to net gains of $21 million in 2017.

The increase in federal and foreign income taxes of $394 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to an increase in our effective tax rate, as discussed below.
The decrease in federal and foreign income taxes of $850 million in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to the decrease in the statutory federal rate and foreign derived intangible income (FDII), both as a result of the enactment of the 2017 Act, as discussed below.
Our effective tax rate differed from the U.S. statutory rate due to the following:

Our effective tax rate reflects the U.S. statutory rate adjusted for various permanent differences between book and tax reporting.
In the fourth quarter of 2018, Forcepoint completed an Irish restructuring transaction resulting in a deferred tax asset of approximately $63 million. We have evaluated both the positive and negative evidence to support our ability to realize the deferred tax asset associated with the restructuring. We believe it is more likely than not that the benefit from this restructuring transaction will not be realized. Accordingly, we provided a valuation allowance of $63 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 on the deferred tax asset related to this transaction.
In the third quarter of 2018, the Company recognized a net tax benefit of $110 million related to the completion of the 2017 tax return and additional amended R&D tax credit claims related to the 2014–2016 tax years.
Also in the third quarter of 2018, we made a discretionary contribution to our pension plans of $1.25 billion. In the second quarter of 2018, we determined we would make this contribution and as a result recorded a net tax benefit of $95 million in the second quarter of 2018. This was primarily due to the remeasurement of the related deferred tax asset balance at the 2017 tax rate of 35% versus the 2018 tax rate of 21% since the discretionary contribution was deductible on our 2017 tax return.
On December 22, 2017, the President signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (2017 Act) which enacted a wide range of changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system. The 2017 Act reduced the U.S. corporate statutory federal tax rate to 21% effective in 2018, eliminated the domestic manufacturing deduction benefit and introduced other tax base broadening measures, changed rules for expensing and capitalizing business expenditures, established a territorial tax system for foreign earnings as well as a minimum tax on certain foreign earnings, provided for a one-time transition tax on previously undistributed foreign earnings, and introduced new rules for the treatment of certain foreign income, including FDII.
Also on December 22, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118), which provided companies with additional guidance on how to account for the 2017 Act in their financial statements, allowing companies to use a measurement period. As of December 31, 2017, we made a reasonable estimate of the effects on our existing deferred tax balances to reflect the new 21% corporate income tax rate under the 2017 Act and the one-time transition tax on previously undistributed foreign earnings and recognized provisional amounts totaling $171 million in accordance with SAB 118, which was included as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations. As of December 31, 2018, we had finalized our provisional estimates for the remeasurement of our existing U.S. deferred tax balances and the one-time transition tax for which we recorded a $1 million tax benefit in 2018.
We recognize excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to our equity compensation in the income statement which could result in fluctuations in our effective tax rate period over period depending on changes to our stock price and how many awards vest in the period.
Our effective tax rate in 2019 was lower than the statutory federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to FDII, which decreased the rate by 3.3% and the R&D tax credit, which decreased the rate by 2.3%. The offsetting increase of 1.1% is composed of various unrelated items, which individually and collectively are not significant.
Our effective tax rate in 2018 was lower than the statutory federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to FDII, which decreased the rate by 4.2%, the tax benefit recognized related to the discretionary pension contribution, which decreased the rate by 3.0%, the R&D tax credit, which decreased the rate by 2.4%, additional R&D tax credit claims related to the 2014–2017 tax years, which decreased the rate by 2.1%, a prior year true-up primarily due to the remeasurement of the deferred tax asset balance at December 31, 2017, which decreased the rate by 1.1% and the tax benefit recognized upon settlement of equity awards, which decreased the rate by 1.0%. The foreign rate differential increased the rate by 1.3%. The remaining decrease of 0.1% is composed of various unrelated items, which individually and collectively are not significant.
Our effective tax rate in 2017 was higher than the statutory federal tax rate of 35% primarily due to the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax balances, which increased the rate by approximately 3.2% and the one-time transition tax on undistributed foreign earnings, which increased the rate by 2.3%. Items which decreased our effective tax rate were the domestic manufacturing deduction, which decreased the rate by approximately 2.5%, the R&D tax credit, which decreased the rate by approximately 1.5% and the tax benefit recognized upon settlement of stock-based awards, which decreased the rate by 1.2%. The remaining increase of 0.5% is composed of various unrelated items, which individually and collectively are not significant.
Our effective tax rate in 2019 was 8.1% higher than in 2018 primarily due to the tax benefit recognized related to the discretionary pension contribution, which decreased the 2018 rate by 3.0%, the additional R&D tax credit claims related to the 2014–2017 tax years, which decreased the 2018 rate by 2.1%, a prior year true-up primarily due to the remeasurement of the deferred tax asset balance at December 31, 2017, which decreased the 2018 rate by 1.1% and FDII, which increased the rate by 0.9%. The remaining increase of 1.0% is composed of various items, which individually and collectively are not significant.
Our effective tax rate in 2018 was 27.4% lower than in 2017 primarily due to the decrease in the statutory federal rate, which decreased the rate by 14.0%, FDII, which decreased the rate by 4.2%, the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax balances, which increased the 2017 rate by 3.2%, the tax benefit recognized related to the discretionary pension contribution, which decreased the rate by 3.0%, the one-time transition tax on undistributed foreign earnings, which increased the 2017 rate by 2.3%, and additional R&D tax credit claims related to the 2014-2017 tax years, which decreased the rate by 2.1%, partially offset by the repeal of the domestic manufacturing deduction, which unfavorably impacted the rate by 2.5%. The remaining decrease of 1.1% is composed of various unrelated items, which individually and collectively are not significant.
On March 4, 2019, the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued proposed regulations providing guidance for the determination of the deduction amount of FDII. Although these rules would affect amounts recorded or amounts expected to be recorded and could increase our income tax expense, we do not expect any material changes to our financial statements if the regulations are finalized as currently drafted.
On September 5, 2019, the Treasury Department and the IRS issued proposed regulations to address changes to tax revenue recognition under the 2017 Act. Subject to further guidance and the final form of the regulations, the Company may have to accelerate the recognition of certain revenue previously deferred for tax purposes. The estimated impact to cash taxes could be an increase of up to approximately $250 million in each of the four years following the release of the final regulations.

SEGMENT RESULTS
We report our results in the following segments: IDS; IIS; MS; SAS; and Forcepoint.
The following provides some context for viewing our segment performance through the eyes of management.
Given the nature of our business, bookings, total net sales and operating income (and the related operating margin percentage), which we disclose and discuss at the segment level, are most relevant to an understanding of management’s view of our segment performance, and often these measures have significant interrelated effects, as described below. In addition, we disclose and discuss backlog, which represents future sales that we expect to recognize over the remaining contract period, which is generally several years. We also disclose total operating expenses and the components of total operating expenses within our segment disclosures.
Bookings—We disclose the amount of bookings and notable contract awards for each segment. Bookings generally represent the dollar value of new external contracts awarded to us during the reporting period and include firm orders for which funding has not been appropriated. We believe bookings are an important measure of future performance and are an indicator of potential future changes in total net sales, because we cannot record revenues under a new contract without first having a booking in the current or a preceding period.
Bookings are impacted by the timing and amounts of awards in a given period, which are subject to numerous factors, including: (1) the desired capability by the customer and urgency of customer needs; (2) customer budgets and other fiscal constraints; (3) political and economic and other environmental factors; (4) the timing of customer negotiations; (5) the timing of governmental approvals and notifications; and (6) the timing of option exercises or increases in scope.

Included in bookings were international bookings of $10,352 million, $9,850 million and $8,479 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which included foreign military bookings through the U.S. government. International bookings amounted to 28% of total bookings in 2019 and 31% of total bookings in 2018 and 2017. Classified bookings amounted to 22%, 21%, and 17% of total bookings in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
We record bookings for not-to-exceed contract awards (e.g., undefinitized contract awards, binding letter agreements) based on reasonable estimates of the expected contract definitization. We subsequently adjust bookings to reflect the actual amounts definitized, or prior to definitization when facts and circumstances indicate that our previously estimated amounts are no longer reasonable. The timing of awards that may cover multiple fiscal years influences the size of bookings in each year. Bookings exclude unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts (e.g., indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) type contracts), and are reduced for contract cancellations and terminations of bookings recognized in the current year. We reflect contract cancellations and terminations from prior year bookings, as well as the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, directly as an adjustment to backlog in the period in which the cancellation or termination occurs and the impact is determinable. Contract cancellations and terminations include contract underruns on cost-type programs.
Backlog—We disclose period-end backlog for each segment. Backlog, which is equivalent to our remaining performance obligations, represents the dollar value of firm orders for which work has not been performed. Backlog generally increases with bookings and generally converts into sales as we incur costs under the related contractual commitments. Therefore, we discuss changes in backlog, including any individually significant cancellations, for each of our segments, as we believe such discussion provides an understanding of the awarded but not executed portions of our contracts. Backlog excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts (e.g., indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ)). Backlog is affected by changes in foreign exchange rates.

Total Net Sales—We generally express changes in total net sales in terms of volume. Volume generally refers to increases or decreases in revenues related to varying amounts of total operating expenses incurred on individual contracts (i.e., from performance against contractual commitments on our bookings related to engineering, production or service activity). Therefore, we discuss volume changes attributable principally to individual programs or product lines unless there is a discrete event (e.g., a major contract termination, natural disaster or major labor strike), or some other unusual item that has a material effect on changes in a segment’s volume for a reported period. Due to the nature of our contracts, the amount of costs incurred and related revenues will naturally fluctuate over the lives of our contracts. As a result, in any reporting period, the changes in volume on numerous contracts are likely to be due to normal fluctuations in our engineering, production or service activities, depending on the phase of the contracts’ lifecycle.

Total Operating Expenses—We generally disclose operating expenses for each segment in terms of the following: (1) cost of sales—labor; (2) cost of sales—materials and subcontractors; and (3) other cost of sales and other operating expenses. Included in cost of sales—labor is the incurred direct labor costs associated with the performance of contracts in the current period and any applicable overhead and fringe costs. Included in cost of sales—materials and subcontractors is the incurred direct materials costs, subcontractor costs (which could include effort performed by other Raytheon segments or locations) and applicable overhead allocations in the current period. Included in other costs of sales and other operating expenses is other direct costs not captured in labor or materials and subcontractors costs, such as previously deferred precontract costs recognized in the period, applicable overhead allocations, general and administrative expenses, which include administrative and selling expenses (including bid and proposal costs) and research and development expenses, other direct costs (such as ancillary services and travel expenses) and adjustments for loss contracts.
Operating Income (and the related operating margin percentage)—We generally express changes in segment operating income in terms of volume, net changes in EAC adjustments or changes in contract mix and other program performance.
The impact of changes in volume on operating income excludes the impact of net EAC adjustments and the impact of changes in contract mix and other program performance and is calculated based on changes in costs on individual programs at an overall margin for the segment. As such, changes in volume do not impact operating margins.
Changes in net EAC adjustments relate to changes in operating income and margin due to revisions to total estimated revenues and costs at completion. These changes reflect improved or deteriorated operating performance or award fee rates. For a full description of our EAC process, refer to Critical Accounting Estimates. Given that we have thousands of individual contracts and the types and complexity of the assumptions and estimates we must make on an on-going basis, we have both favorable and unfavorable EAC adjustments. We had the following aggregate EAC adjustments for the periods presented:

| Total net EAC adjustments | $ | 520 |
| | $ | 492 |
| | $ | 442 |
|
In recent years, our net EAC adjustments generally have been between 1.5% and 2.0% of total net sales. Our net EAC adjustments as a percentage of total net sales were 1.8% in 2019 and 2018 and 1.7% in 2017.
Significant EAC adjustments in 2019, 2018 and 2017 are discussed in the Operating Income and Margin section of each business segment’s discussion below. The $28 million increase in net EAC adjustments in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to the increase in net EAC adjustments at IDS and IIS, partially offset by the decrease in net EAC adjustments at MS, all of which are described below in the respective segment’s results. The $50 million increase in net EAC adjustments in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to the increase in net EAC adjustments at SAS and IIS, partially offset by the decrease in net EAC adjustments at IDS, all of which are described below in the respective segment’s results.
Changes in contract mix and other program performance refer to changes in operating income and margin due to a change in the relative volume of contracts with higher or lower fee rates such that the overall average margin rate for the segment changes, and other drivers of program performance including margin rate increases or decreases due to EAC adjustments in prior periods. A higher or lower expected fee rate at the initial award of a contract typically correlates to the contract’s risk profile, which is often specifically driven by the type of customer and related procurement regulations, the type of contract (e.g., fixed-price vs. cost-plus), the maturity of the product or service and the scope of work. Changes in contract mix and other performance also include all other items which are not related to volume or EAC adjustments (e.g., real estate transactions).

Total Net Sales—The increase in total net sales of $747 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to higher net sales of $402 million on certain European Patriot programs awarded in 2018 and the second quarter of 2019, higher net sales of $279 million on an international air and missile defense system program awarded in the third quarter of 2019, driven primarily by the recognition of previously deferred precontract and inventoried costs of $130 million and higher net sales of $145 million on a missile defense radar program for an international customer with awards in the second and fourth quarters of 2019, partially offset by lower net sales of $343 million on certain international Patriot programs due to the scheduled completion of certain production phases of the programs.
The increase in total net sales of $376 million in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to higher net sales of $426 million on an international Patriot program awarded in the first quarter of 2018, which included an estimated $90 million of net sales recognized in the first quarter of 2018 from previously inventoried costs, higher net sales of $113 million on various Patriot programs for an international customer driven by planned increases in production, higher net sales of $84 million on an international Patriot program awarded in the second quarter of 2018, and higher net sales of $71 million on close combat tactical radar programs and higher net sales of $64 million on a naval radar program both driven by awards in 2018, partially offset by lower net sales of $371 million on certain international Patriot programs due to the scheduled completion of certain production phases of the programs.
Total Operating Expenses—The increase in total operating expenses of $659 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to an increase in materials and subcontractors costs of $281 million, an increase in other cost of sales and other operating expenses of $219 million and an increase in labor costs of $159 million. The increase in materials and subcontractors costs was principally due to higher activity on the certain European Patriot programs, and on the international air and missile defense system program awarded in the third quarter of 2019, both described above in Total Net Sales, and the completion of a transaction to satisfy all of our existing offset obligations on various Patriot programs for a MENA customer, partially offset by lower activity on the certain international Patriot programs described above in Total Net Sales. The increase in other cost of sales and other operating expenses was primarily due to a change in the amount of previously deferred precontract costs recognized based on contract awards, primarily due to $67 million recognized in the third quarter of 2019 related to the international air and missile defense system program awarded in the third quarter of 2019, and $58 million recognized in the fourth quarter of 2019 related to the additional award on the missile defense radar program for an international customer, both described above in Total Net Sales. The increase in labor costs was primarily due to higher activity on the certain European Patriot programs described above in Total Net Sales, higher activity on a naval radar program driven by awards in the first and fourth quarters of 2019, higher activity on Patriot engineering services support for U.S. and international customers primarily driven by increased scope, and higher activity on the missile defense radar program for an international customer described above in Total Net Sales, partially offset by lower activity on the certain international Patriot programs described above in Total Net Sales and lower activity on an international Patriot program awarded in the first quarter of 2018 driven by the recognition of previously inventoried costs in the first quarter of 2018.
The increase in total operating expenses of $288 million in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to an increase in materials and subcontractors costs of $177 million, driven principally by activity on the international Patriot program awarded in the first quarter of 2018, the naval radar program and the close combat tactical radar programs described above in Total Net Sales, partially offset by activity on the certain international Patriot programs described above in Total Net Sales.
Operating Income and Margin—The increase in operating income of $88 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to an increase in volume of $135 million and a net change in EAC adjustments of $60 million, partially offset by a change in mix and other performance of $107 million. The increase in volume was primarily due to activity on the programs described above in Total Net Sales. The net change in EAC adjustments was primarily driven by $30 million of favorable profit adjustments in the first quarter of 2019 related to the offset transaction discussed above in Total Operating Expenses due to a reduction of expected costs to fulfill our offset obligations on several contracts, and a $26 million negative profit adjustment in the third quarter of 2018 on a fixed price radar development program due to schedule delays from challenges in first-time production.
In total, the offset transaction resulted in $44 million of operating income in the first quarter of 2019. The change in mix and other performance was principally driven by lower sales on an international Patriot program awarded in the first quarter of 2018 driven by the recognition of previously inventoried costs in the first quarter of 2018 and lower sales on various Patriot programs for an international customer driven by the scheduled completion of certain production phases of the programs, with the remaining change spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver. Included in the change in mix and other performance was a $6 million gain on a real estate transaction in the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in operating margin in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to the change in mix and other performance, partially offset by the net change in EAC adjustments.
The increase in operating income of $88 million in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to a change in mix and other performance of $79 million and an increase in volume of $42 million, partially offset by a net change in EAC adjustments of $33 million. The change in mix and other performance was principally driven by higher sales on the international Patriot program awarded in the first quarter of 2018 and the various Patriot programs for an international customer described above in Total Net Sales, which had a combined impact of $134 million, partially offset by other activity with no individual or common significant driver. Included in the change in mix and other performance was $10 million of gains on real estate transactions in 2017. The increase in volume was primarily due to the activity on the programs described above in Total Net Sales. The net change in EAC adjustments was primarily driven by a $26 million negative profit adjustment in the third quarter of 2018 on a fixed price radar development program due to schedule delays from challenges in first-time production. The increase in operating margin in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to the change in mix and other performance, partially offset by the net change in EAC adjustments.

The change in mix and other performance was primarily due to the non-cash gain of $21 million from the remeasurement of our equity method investment in RGNext in the first quarter of 2019 as described above and activity on the programs in support of the U.S. Army’s Warfighter FOCUS activities described above in Total Net Sales. Included in the change in mix and other performance was a non-cash gain of $14 million from the revaluation of an investment in equity securities of a non-publicly traded company in the third quarter of 2019 and a $13 million gain in the first quarter of 2019 on the sale of residual materials and supplies previously used to support the Warfighter FOCUS programs. The net change in EAC adjustments was primarily driven by higher labor efficiencies on classified programs in both cyber and space in 2019. The increase in volume was primarily due to the activity on the programs described above in Total Net Sales, with the remaining change spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver. The increase in operating margin in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to the change in mix and other performance and the net change in EAC adjustments.
The increase in operating income of $83 million in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to a net change in EAC adjustments of $41 million and an increase in volume of $32 million. The net change in EAC adjustments was driven principally by higher labor efficiencies on the programs in support of the U.S. Army’s Warfighter FOCUS activities in 2018. The increase in volume was primarily due to the activity on the classified programs described above in Total Net Sales. Included in mix and other performance in 2017 was a $2 million gain on a real estate transaction. The increase in operating margin in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to the net change in EAC adjustments.
Backlog and Bookings—Backlog was $6,674 million, $6,233 million and $6,503 million at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in backlog of $441 million at December 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 was primarily due to the consolidation of RGNext, as described above. The decrease in backlog of $270 million at December 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017 was primarily at our Navigation and Modernization Solutions (NMS) product line principally due to sales in excess of bookings.
The bookings increase of $763 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was driven primarily by the $353 million increase in the specifically disclosed bookings below and an increase in bookings on less significant awards not specifically disclosed. In

The increase in labor costs was driven principally by activity on the classified programs described above in Total Net Sales.
Operating Income and Margin—The decrease in operating income of $14 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to a net change in EAC adjustments of $73 million, partially offset by an increase in volume of $56 million. The net change in EAC adjustments was primarily driven by a $39 million loss reserve recorded in the second quarter of 2019 for a potential termination for default on a U.S. customer program, as we determined we would not be able to execute the technical scope and other requirements, partially due to conditions outside our control, as discussed further in Commitments and Contingencies. Included in the net change in EAC adjustments was a total favorable adjustment of $26 million on two contracts in the second quarter of 2019 primarily driven by reductions of expected costs to fulfill industrial cooperation agreements for an international customer due to a favorable change in requirements. The increase in volume was principally driven by activity on the classified programs described above in Total Net Sales. The decrease in operating margin in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to the net change in EAC adjustments.
The decrease in operating income of $37 million in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to a change in mix and other performance of $109 million, partially offset by an increase in volume of $74 million. The change in mix and other performance was principally driven by activity on international Paveway programs, which had an impact of $37 million, and activity on the classified programs described above in Total Net Sales. The increase in volume was principally driven by activity on the classified programs described above in Total Net Sales. Included in the net change in EAC adjustments were reductions of expected costs to fulfill industrial cooperation agreements for an international customer resulting in adjustments of $37 million and $36 million on two contracts due to a favorable change in requirements in the third quarter of 2017 and a negative profit adjustment of $26 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 on a next generation precision strike weapon contract due to an increase in costs to complete the program, including costs to fulfill higher order quantities on the final option year than previously expected, partially offset by an unfavorable $40 million adjustment on a $1.4 billion contract, driven by the final contract modification in the third quarter of 2017 which was less than we anticipated based upon the previous contract price negotiations. The decrease in operating margin in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to the change in mix and other performance.
Backlog and Bookings—Backlog was $15,835 million, $13,976 million and $13,426 million at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in backlog of $1,859 million at December 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 was primarily due to bookings in excess of sales within our Strategic and Naval Systems (SNS) product line. The increase in backlog of $550 million at December 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017 was primarily due to bookings in excess of
sales within our SNS product line, partially offset by sales in excess of bookings in the Air Warfare Systems (AWS) product line.

Total Net Sales—The increase in total net sales of $679 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to higher net sales of $199 million on classified programs principally driven by 2018 awards, higher net sales of $115 million on the Next Gen OPIR program for the U.S. Air Force awarded in the third quarter of 2018, higher net sales of $89 million on IFF production programs primarily due to increased customer demand and higher net sales of $64 million on tactical radar systems development programs due to scheduled increases in program activity.
The increase in total net sales of $318 million in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to higher net sales of $91 million on a domestic tactical radar systems production program due to scheduled increases in production and higher net sales of $85 million on surveillance and targeting systems programs primarily due to a production program for the U.S. Air Force awarded in the third quarter of 2018 and planned increases in production on certain surveillance and targeting systems programs.
Total Operating Expenses—The increase in total operating expenses of $572 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to an increase in labor costs of $404 million and an increase in materials and subcontractors costs of $148 million. The increase in labor costs was primarily due to activity on the classified, Next Gen OPIR and tactical radar systems development programs described above in Total Net Sales. The increase in materials and subcontractors costs was primarily due to activity
on a surveillance and targeting systems production program for the U.S. Air Force awarded in the third quarter of 2018 and activity on the classified programs described above in Total Net Sales.
The increase in total operating expenses of $296 million in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to an increase in labor costs of $184 million and an increase in other costs of sales and other operating expenses of $179 million. The increase in labor costs was primarily due to activity on classified programs. The increase in other costs of sales and other operating expenses was primarily driven by an increase in general and administrative expenses of $84 million driven by higher independent research and development costs and an increase in other direct costs of $34 million principally due to an increase in software royalty and licensing costs based on the timing of program requirements.
Operating Income and Margin—The increase in operating income of $107 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily driven by an increase in volume of $66 million and a change in mix and other performance of $33 million. Almost half of the increase in volume was due to activity on the classified programs and the Next Gen OPIR program described above in Total Net Sales, with the remaining change spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver. Included in the change in mix and other performance was a $21 million gain on a real estate transaction in the fourth quarter of 2019, which was more than offset by activity on the classified programs described above and a gain of $8 million in the second quarter of 2018 from the sale of our commercial cloud-based call center analytics business. The remaining change was spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver. The increase in operating margin in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to the change in mix and other performance.
The increase in operating income of $22 million in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily driven by a net change in EAC adjustments of $44 million and an increase in volume of $38 million, partially offset by a change in mix and other performance of $60 million. The net change in EAC adjustments was primarily driven by a change in net EAC adjustments on tactical communication systems development and production programs due to an increase in estimated labor costs in 2017 and labor and material production efficiencies in 2018 and a change in net EAC adjustments on a protected communication systems development program due to an increase in estimated labor and material costs in 2017, partially offset by a change in net EAC adjustments on surveillance and targeting systems programs due to labor and material production efficiencies in 2017 and an increase in estimated labor and material costs in 2018, with the remaining change spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver. The increase in volume was driven by activity on the programs discussed above in Total Net Sales. The change in mix and other performance was primarily driven by lower activity on two international tactical radar systems programs due to scheduled completion of certain production phases. Included in mix and other performance was a gain of $8 million from the sale of our commercial cloud-based call center analytics business in the second quarter of 2018, which was recorded as a reduction to cost of sales, and a gain of $15 million on a real estate transaction in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease in operating margin in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to the change in mix and other performance, partially offset by the net change in EAC adjustments.
Backlog and Bookings—Backlog was $11,525 million, $10,126 million and $8,611 million at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in backlog of $1,399 million at December 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 was primarily due to bookings in excess of sales principally within our Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems (ISRS), Secure Sensor Solutions (S3), Integrated Communications Systems (ICS) and Electronic Warfare Systems (EWS) product lines.

The components of the FAS/CAS Pension Operating Adjustment were as follows: |

|
| FAS/CAS Pension Operating Adjustment | $ | 1,439 |
| | $ | 1,415 |
| | $ | 1,291 |
|
The key driver of the FAS/CAS Pension Operating Adjustment is that FAS service cost is the present value of the projected benefits attributable to service provided in the current year while CAS expense generally includes both the current year service related costs under CAS and gains or losses that arise when our asset and liability experience differs from our assumptions under CAS. The remaining components of FAS pension expense are recorded in retirement benefits non-service expense.
The change in our FAS/CAS Pension Operating Adjustment of $24 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was driven by an $84 million decrease in our FAS service cost, partially offset by a $60 million decrease in our CAS expense. The decrease in our FAS service cost was principally driven by the higher discount rate at December 31, 2018 compared to the discount rate at December 31, 2017. The decrease in our CAS expense was primarily due to unfavorable asset performance during 2018.
The change in our FAS/CAS Pension Operating Adjustment of $124 million in 2018 compared to 2017 was driven by a $155 million increase in CAS expense, partially offset by a $31 million increase in FAS service cost. The increase in CAS expense was primarily due to a decrease in the discount rate used to measure liabilities in determining CAS expense for 2018 compared to 2017 as described above in Critical Accounting Estimates and our actuarial update, which takes into account updated census data. The change in the discount rate used to measure liabilities for purposes of determining CAS pension expense has been included in our contracts through our overhead forward pricing rates. The increase in FAS service cost was primarily driven by the lower discount rate at December 31, 2017 compared to the discount rate at December 31, 2016.
The components of the FAS/CAS PRB Operating Adjustment were as follows:

For 2020 compared to 2019, we currently expect our FAS service cost to increase by $82 million and our CAS expense to increase by $109 million driven by the differences in the assumptions and the recognition period for gains and losses under CAS. Both FAS service cost and CAS expense are subject to our actuarial update, as discussed above. After 2020, the FAS/CAS Operating Adjustment becomes more difficult to predict because FAS service cost and CAS expense are based on a number of key assumptions for future periods.
Corporate and Reclassification
Corporate operating income (expense) consists of unallocated costs and certain other corporate costs not considered part of management’s evaluation of reportable segment operating performance or the allocation of resources to the segments.
Operating income (expense) related to Corporate and Reclassification was as follows:

|
| Corporate and Reclassification | $ | (111 | ) | | $ | (17 | ) | | $ | (59 | ) |
The change in operating income (expense) related to Corporate and other unallocated costs of $80 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to $51 million of costs in 2019 related to the proposed merger with UTC. Included in the change in operating income (expense) related to Corporate and other unallocated costs was $13 million of net expenses related to the LTAMDS project, for which the company was selected in the fourth quarter of 2019. The net expenses related to the LTAMDS
project are included in Corporate and other unallocated costs as they are not included in management’s evaluation of business segment results.
In the third quarter of 2019, the Company revalued an investment in equity securities of a non-publicly traded company due to the availability of updated pricing data from a recent transaction and recognized a non-cash gain of $14 million. The gain is included in IIS’s operating income in 2019 as it is part of management’s evaluation of the segment’s performance and reclassified through Corporate and Reclassification to other (income) expense, net on our consolidated statements of operations for financial reporting purposes as the gain is not related to our core operations.
Operating income (expense) related to Corporate and other unallocated costs in 2018 included miscellaneous favorable items not allocated to segments results and was relatively consistent with 2017.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Overview
We currently expect that cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations and other available financing resources will be sufficient to meet anticipated operating, capital expenditure, investment, debt service and other financing requirements during the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future. Our need for, cost of and access to funds are dependent on future operating results, as well as other external conditions.
In addition, the following table highlights selected measures of our liquidity and capital resources at December 31:

|
The increase of $1,052 million in net cash provided by operating activities in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to a decrease in pension contributions driven by the $1.25 billion discretionary contribution in the third quarter of 2018, as discussed below in Pension Plan Contributions, partially offset by higher net tax payments as discussed below in Tax Payments and Refunds. The increase of $683 million in net cash provided by operating activities in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to lower net tax payments, as discussed below in Tax Payments and Refunds, and the timing of vendor payments, partially offset by an increase in pension contributions, as discussed below.
Pension Plan Contributions—We may make both required and discretionary contributions to our pension plans. Required contributions are primarily determined in accordance with the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA), which amended the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) rules, and are affected by the actual return on plan assets (ROA) and plan funded status. The funding requirements under the PPA require us to fully fund our pension plans over a rolling seven-year period as determined annually based upon the funded status at the beginning of the year. The PPA funded status is based on actual asset performance, averaged over three years and PPA discount rates, which are based on a 24-month average of high quality corporate bond rates, as published by the IRS. As discussed in Critical Accounting Estimates, the STE Act, the HATFA and the BBA of 2015 were passed by Congress and signed by the President in 2012, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The STE Act includes a provision for temporary pension funding relief due to the low interest rate environment. The provision adjusts the 24-month average high quality corporate bond rates used to determine the PPA funded status so that they are within a floor and cap, or “corridor,” based on the 25-year average of corporate bond rates. The STE Act gradually phased out this interest rate provision beginning in 2013. The HATFA and the BBA of 2015 extended the phase out provisions through 2020. As a result, the interest rates used to determine PPA funded status will continue to be adjusted within a “corridor” and do not begin to phase out until after 2020.
We made the following required and discretionary contributions during the years ended December 31:

|
| Total | $ | 380 |
| | $ | 2,161 |
| | $ | 1,642 |
|
The decrease in required pension contributions of $546 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily driven by the $1.25 billion discretionary pension contribution made in the third quarter 2018, of which we elected to apply approximately $1 billion to partially offset required contributions in 2019 and 2020, roughly split evenly between the two years. The increase in required pension contributions of $274 million in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily driven by the low interest rate environment.
We expect to make required contributions to our pension and PRB plans of $369 million in 2020. We periodically evaluate whether to make discretionary pension contributions. Due to the differences in requirements and calculation methodologies, our FAS pension expense or income is not indicative of the funding requirement or amount of CAS recovered.
Timing of contributions to the pension and PRB plans under PPA differs from the recovery of CAS expense. Cumulatively, our contributions have exceeded our recovery of CAS expense creating a prepayment credit under the CAS rules. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, our prepayment credit balances were $7.4 billion and $7.7 billion, respectively. Future contributions in excess of CAS expense will increase the prepayment credit balance while CAS expense in excess of contributions will reduce the prepayment credit balance. Actual plan asset investment returns also impact the prepayment credit balance.
Tax Payments and Refunds—We made (received) the following net tax payments (refunds) during the years ended December 31:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |

|
| State | 34 |
| | 23 |
| | 36 |
|
The increase in net tax payments of $814 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to the timing and amount of pension contributions. Federal and foreign net tax payments for 2020 are expected to approximate $914 million. The increase in expected federal and foreign net tax payments in 2020 is primarily due to an expected increase in operating income.
The decrease in net tax payments of $861 million in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (2017 Act) and the timing and amount of pension contributions.
Interest Payments—We made interest payments on our outstanding debt of $193 million, $194 million and $214 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Interest payments in 2019 were relatively consistent with 2018. The decrease in interest payments in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to the repayment of $591 million of long-term debt in the second quarter of 2017.

The change in net cash provided by (used in) investing activities of $482 million in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to our short-term investments activity, as described below in Short-term Investments Activity, and an increase in additions to property, plant and equipment as described below in Additions to Property, Plant and Equipment and Capitalized Internal-
Use Software. The change in net cash provided by (used in) investing activities of $296 million in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to our short-term investment activity, as described below in Short-term Investments Activity, partially offset by an increase in additions to property, plant and equipment as described below in Additions to Property, Plant and Equipment and Capitalized Internal-Use Software.
Additions to Property, Plant and Equipment and Capitalized Internal-Use Software—Additions to property, plant and equipment and capitalized internal-use software were as follows:

| | 68 |
|
The increases in additions to property, plant and equipment of $179 million in 2019 compared to 2018 and $220 million in 2018 compared to 2017 were both primarily driven by program related requirements, due to recent and anticipated growth, and investment in productivity initiatives, including high-technology production facilities and continued factory automation upgrades.
We expect full-year property, plant and equipment and capitalized internal-use software expenditures to be between approximately $825–$900 million and $60–$85 million, respectively, in 2020, consistent with the anticipated needs of our business and for specific investments including capital assets and facility improvements.
Short-term Investments Activity—We may invest in marketable securities in accordance with our short-term investment policy and cash management strategy. Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value as short-term investments in our consolidated balance sheets. Activity related to short-term investments was as follows:

Acquisitions and Divestitures—In pursuing our business strategies, we acquire and make investments in certain businesses that meet strategic and financial criteria, and divest of certain non-core businesses, investments and assets when appropriate. In the first quarter of 2019, we amended and restated the RGNext joint venture agreement and acquired an additional 10% equity ownership in the joint venture increasing our equity ownership to 60%. See “Note 4: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Goodwill” within Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional detail. In May 2018, we completed the sale of our commercial cloud-based call center analytics solutions business for $11 million in cash, net of transaction-related costs. In 2017, Forcepoint acquired RedOwl Analytics Inc. and the Skyfence CASB business for a total of $93 million.

We generally use cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from the issuance of new debt as our primary source for the repayment of debt, payment of dividends, pension contributions and the repurchase of our common stock. The change of $405 million in net cash provided by (used in) financing activities in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to a $588 million payment related to the acquisition of noncontrolling interest in Forcepoint and net repayments of commercial paper of $300 million in the third quarter of 2019, partially offset by the activity on our share repurchase programs, as discussed below in Share Repurchases.
The change of $282 million in net cash provided by (used in) financing activities in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to the activity on our share repurchases as discussed below and net proceeds from commercial paper issuances of $300 million in 2017, partially offset by the repayment of $591 million of long-term debt in the second quarter of 2017.
Share Repurchases—From time to time, our Board of Directors authorizes the repurchase of shares of our common stock. In November 2015, our Board authorized the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion of our outstanding common stock. In November 2017, our Board also authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $2.0 billion of our outstanding common stock. At December 31, 2019, we had approximately $0.7 billion available under the 2017 repurchase program. However, the merger agreement with UTC restricts us from repurchasing shares other than to satisfy tax withholding obligations. For more information refer to “Note 2: Proposed Merger with United Technologies Corporation (UTC)” within Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Share repurchases also include shares surrendered by employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs) and Long-term Performance Plan (LTPP) awards issued to employees.

In March 2018, our Board of Directors authorized an 8.8% increase to our annual dividend payout rate from $3.19 to $3.47 per share. Dividends are subject to quarterly approval by our Board of Directors.
Acquisition of Noncontrolling Interest in Forcepoint—In October 2019, Vista Equity Partners formally exercised its put right to require Raytheon to purchase Vista Equity Partners’ interest in Forcepoint. As a result, the parties engaged in a formal process under the joint venture agreement to determine the fair value, as defined in the joint venture agreement, of such interest. On November 18, 2019, Raytheon completed the acquisition of Vista Equity Partners’ interest in Forcepoint for $588 million in cash.
Long-term Debt—In the second quarter of 2017, we exercised our call rights to repurchase, at prices based on fixed spreads to the U.S. Treasury rates, $591 million of our long-term debt due March and December 2018 at a loss of $39 million before tax, $25 million net of tax, which is included in other (income) expense, net.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Long-term Debt—Total long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt was $4.8 billion at both December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Our outstanding debt bears contractual interest at fixed interest rates ranging from 2.5% to 7.2% and matures at various dates from 2020 through 2044. We expect to pay down the $500 million of long-term debt due in February 2020 using cash on hand.
Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents were $4.3 billion and $3.6 billion at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. We may invest in: U.S. Treasuries; AAA/Aaa rated money market funds; certificates of deposit, time deposits and commercial paper of banks with a minimum long-term debt rating of A or A2 and minimum short-term debt rating of A-1 and P-1; and commercial paper of corporations with a minimum long-term debt rating of A- or A3 and minimum short-term debt rating of A-2 and P-2. Cash and cash equivalents balances held at our foreign subsidiaries were $245 million and $326 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Our undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are not permanently reinvested. We continuously evaluate our liquidity needs and ability to meet global cash requirements as a part of our overall capital deployment strategy. Factors that affect our global capital deployment strategy
include anticipated cash flows, the ability to repatriate cash in a tax efficient manner, funding requirements for operations and investment activities, acquisitions and divestitures, and capital market conditions.
Commercial Paper—The Company may issue up to $1.25 billion of unsecured commercial paper notes, as the commercial paper is backed by our credit facility. In 2019, we made net repayments of $300 million to reduce our short-term commercial paper borrowings outstanding to zero at December 31, 2019. The maximum amount of short-term commercial paper borrowings outstanding during 2019 was $300 million. At December 31, 2018, short-term commercial paper borrowings outstanding were $300 million, which had a weighted-average interest rate and original maturity period of 2.954% and 16 days, respectively.
Credit Facilities—In September 2019, we entered into a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility maturing in November 2021 and terminated the previous $1.25 billion revolving credit facility maturing in November 2020 without penalty. Under the credit facility, we can borrow, issue letters of credit and backstop commercial paper. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at various rate options, including LIBOR plus a margin based on our credit ratings. Based on our credit ratings at December 31, 2019, borrowings would generally bear interest at LIBOR plus 80.5 basis points. The credit facility is composed of commitments from 20 separate highly rated lenders, each committing no more than 10% of the facility. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 there were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under our credit facilities.
Under the $1.25 billion credit facility we must comply with certain covenants, including a ratio of total debt to total capitalization of no more than 60%. Our ratio of total debt to total capitalization, as those terms are defined in the credit facility, was 28.0% at December 31, 2019. We are providing this ratio as this metric is used by our lenders to monitor our leverage and is also a threshold that could limit our ability to utilize this facility. We were in compliance with our credit facility covenants as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
In May 2019, we entered into treasury rate lock contracts with a notional amount of $375 million, which were settled in the fourth quarter of 2019 without the issuance of debt due to merger-related considerations.
Shelf Registrations—We have an effective shelf registration statement with the SEC, filed in March 2019, which covers the registration of debt securities, common stock, preferred stock and warrants.

| (2) | Amounts beyond 2024 for required pension and PRB contributions are not included. |
Interest payments in the table above include interest on debt that is redeemable at our option. Purchase obligations in the table above represent enforceable and legally binding agreements with suppliers to purchase goods or services. We enter into contracts with customers, primarily the U.S. government, which entitle us to full recourse for costs incurred, including purchase obligations, in the event the contract is terminated by the customer for convenience. These purchase obligations are included above notwithstanding the amount for which we are entitled to full recourse from our customers.
Required pension and PRB contributions in the table above are strictly based on the current funded status of our pension and PRB plans and our current assumptions outlined in the Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit (PRB) Costs section of Critical Accounting Estimates. Actual results will vary based upon discount rates, asset returns, changes in actuarial assumptions, demographic experience and regulatory requirements for each year. Assuming high quality corporate bond rates
remain consistent with our current assumption, discount rates used to determine funding requirements under the BBA of 2015 will be approximately 5.3% for 2020, 4.9% for 2021, 4.5% for 2022, 4.1% for 2023, and 3.7% for 2024.
As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions and the accrual for the related interest, net of the federal benefit, was $232 million and $92 million, respectively, and was included in accrued retiree benefits and other long-term liabilities. These amounts were not included in the table above because we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of when a cash settlement, if any, will occur with a tax authority as the timing of examinations and ultimate resolutions of those examinations is uncertain.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
At December 31, 2019, we had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements other than guarantees to third parties on behalf of our affiliates as described below in Commitments and Contingencies. Such arrangements are not material to our overall liquidity or capital resources, market risk support or credit risk support as described below.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Environmental Matters—We are involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to remediation of various environmental sites. Our estimate of the liability of total environmental remediation costs includes the use of a discount rate and takes into account that a portion of these costs is eligible for future recovery through the pricing of our products and services to the U.S. government. We regularly assess the probability of recovery of these costs, which requires us to make assumptions about the extent of cost recovery under our contracts and the amount of future contract activity. We consider such recovery probable based on government contracting regulations and our long history of receiving reimbursement for such costs, and accordingly have recorded the estimated future recovery of these costs from the U.S. government within prepaid expenses and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Our estimates regarding remediation costs to be incurred were as follows at December 31:

We also lease certain government-owned properties and generally are not liable for remediation of preexisting environmental contamination at these sites. As a result, we generally do not provide for these costs in our consolidated financial statements.
Due to the complexity of environmental laws and regulations, the varying costs and effectiveness of alternative cleanup methods and technologies, the uncertainty of insurance coverage, and the unresolved extent of our responsibility, it is difficult to determine the ultimate outcome of environmental matters. However, we do not expect any additional liability to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Financing Arrangements and Other—We issue guarantees, and banks and surety companies issue, on our behalf, letters of credit and surety bonds, to meet various bid, performance, warranty, retention and advance payment obligations for us or our affiliates. These instruments expire on various dates through 2028. Additional guarantees of project performance for which there is no stated value also remain outstanding. The stated values outstanding consisted of the following at December 31:

We provide guarantees and letters of credit to certain affiliates to assist them in obtaining financing on more favorable terms, making bids on contracts and performing their contractual obligations. While we expect our affiliates to satisfy their loans and meet their project performance and other contractual obligations, their failure to do so may result in a future obligation to us. We periodically evaluate the risk of our affiliates failing to meet their obligations. At December 31, 2019, we believe the risk that our affiliates will not be able to meet their obligations is minimal for the foreseeable future based on their current financial condition. All obligations were current at December 31, 2019. At both December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had an estimated liability of $3 million related to these guarantees.
We have entered into industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes in the form of either offset agreements or ICIP agreements, as a condition to obtaining orders for our products and services from certain customers in foreign countries. At December 31, 2019, the aggregate amount of our offset agreements, both agreed to and anticipated to be agreed to, had an outstanding notional value of approximately $9.5 billion. To the extent we have entered into purchase obligations that satisfy our offset agreements, those amounts are included within the table in Contractual Obligations. These agreements are designed to return economic value to the foreign country by requiring us to engage in activities supporting local defense or commercial industries, promoting a balance of trade, developing in-country technology capabilities or addressing other local development priorities. Offset agreements may be satisfied through activities that do not require a direct cash payment, including transferring technology, providing manufacturing, training and other consulting support to in-country projects, and the purchase by third parties (e.g., our vendors) of supplies from in-country vendors. These agreements may also be satisfied through our use of cash for activities such as subcontracting with local partners, purchasing supplies from in-country vendors, providing financial support for in-country projects and making investments in local ventures. Such activities may also vary by country depending upon requirements as dictated by their governments. We typically do not commit to offset agreements until orders for our products or services are definitive. The amounts ultimately applied against our offset agreements are based on negotiations with the customers and typically require cash outlays that represent only a fraction of the notional value in the offset agreements. Offset programs usually extend over several or more years and may provide for penalties in the event we fail to perform in accordance with offset requirements. Historically, we have not been required to pay any penalties of significance.
As a U.S. government contractor, we are subject to many levels of audit and investigation by the U.S. government relating to our contract performance and compliance with applicable rules and regulations. Agencies that oversee contract performance include: the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA); the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA); the Inspectors General of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and other departments and agencies; the Government Accountability Office (GAO); the Department of Justice (DOJ); and Congressional Committees. Other areas of our business operations may also be subject to audit and investigation by these and/or other agencies. From time to time, agencies investigate or conduct audits to determine whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable requirements. Such investigations and audits may be initiated due to a number of reasons, including as a result of a whistleblower complaint. Such investigations and audits could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, the suspension of government export licenses or the 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. Our final allowable incurred costs for each year are also subject to audit and have, from time to time, resulted in disputes between us and the U.S. government, with litigation resulting at the Court of Federal Claims (COFC) or the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) or their related courts of appeals. In addition, the DOJ has, from time to time, convened grand juries to investigate possible irregularities by us. We also provide products and services to customers outside of the U.S., and those sales are subject to local government laws, regulations and procurement policies and practices. Our compliance with such local government regulations or any applicable U.S. government regulations (e.g., the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)) may also be investigated or audited. Other than as specifically disclosed herein, we do
not expect these audits, investigations or disputes to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, either individually or in the aggregate.
We do not expect any material impact on our financial results from regional disputes with Qatar and less than 7% of our backlog at December 31, 2019 relates to contracts in Qatar.
Although we currently do not expect to be prevented from doing business in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), if government action impairs our ability to fulfill our contractual obligations or otherwise to continue to do business in KSA, it would have a material adverse effect on our financial results. KSA represents less than 5% of our sales and $2.9 billion of our backlog at December 31, 2019. This includes the majority of the precision guided munitions described below, integrated air and missile defense systems, as well as other products and services.
We have several direct commercial sales contracts for precision guided munitions with certain Middle Eastern customers for which U.S. government approvals from the State Department and Congress through the Congressional Notification process were previously delayed. On May 24, 2019, the Administration announced an emergency certification authorizing the immediate export of 22 pending arms sales to Jordan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and KSA, waiving the requirement of Congressional Notification of these arms sales. As a result, we were able to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals and licenses for all of our contracts except for those that were not subject to the emergency certification. On contracts not subject to the emergency certification, we had approximately $1.2 billion of total contract value, recognized approximately $400 million of sales for work performed to date and received approximately $500 million in advances as of December 31, 2019. Additionally, one of those contracts, which has a contract value of $835 million, also requires U.K. government approval. In June 2019, the U.K.’s Court of Appeal determined that the U.K. government was not fully compliant with the legal requirements in issuing export licenses for weapons to KSA. While the U.K.’s Court of Appeal did not prohibit the issuance of licenses in the future, the U.K. government will need to comply with the ruling before issuing licenses or obtain a reversal of the decision on appeal. If we ultimately do not receive all of the regulatory approvals and licenses, it would have a material effect on our financial results.
In July 2019, the U.S. government suspended Turkey’s participation in the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program because Turkey accepted delivery of the Russian-built S-400 air and missile defense system, and on October 14, 2019, the Administration imposed sanctions on several Turkish ministers and departments, including the Ministry of National Defence, due to Turkey’s military advance into Syria. Also in October 2019, certain European countries imposed arms embargoes on Turkey. On October 23, 2019, the Administration removed all of the sanctions imposed on October 14, 2019; however, the U.S. government and other governments may impose additional sanctions or embargoes. For a limited number of our programs, we procure materials and components from Turkish suppliers on a sole-source basis. We also have an immaterial amount of sales and backlog related to Turkey. Such sanctions or actions, and any potential reciprocal actions, could impact our businesses’ sources of supply and ability to make certain contractual deliveries, as well as our ability to sell to Turkey; however, at this time, we do not expect any potential actions to have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
In the second quarter of 2019, we identified and notified a U.S. customer that we determined we would not be able to execute on the technical scope and other requirements of an $85 million Missile Systems fixed-price program, partially due to conditions outside our control. As a result, although we continue to work with the customer to determine changes to the contract that would be mutually acceptable, we accrued a loss of $39 million in the second quarter of 2019 at Missile Systems for a potential termination for default on the program. Our estimate of the loss was based on progress payments received to date, firm commitments to suppliers on the program and administrative costs of the customer. We believe it is remote that we will ultimately be liable for damages or the customer’s potential excess reprocurement costs, and we are unable to estimate these amounts for which we could be liable given the complexities of determining such costs under the applicable regulations.
Raytheon has received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) seeking information in connection with an investigation into whether there were improper payments made by Thales-Raytheon Systems (TRS), Raytheon or anyone acting on their behalf in connection with TRS or Raytheon contracts in certain Middle East countries since 2014. Raytheon maintains a rigorous anti-corruption compliance program, is cooperating fully with the SEC’s inquiry, and is examining whether there has been any conduct that is in violation of Raytheon policy. At this point there is no ability to predict the outcome of the SEC’s inquiry. Based on the information available to date, however, we do not believe the results of this inquiry will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
On June 23, 2016, the U.K. held a referendum in which British citizens approved an exit from the European Union (EU), commonly referred to as “Brexit.” On January 31, 2020, the U.K. formally left the EU with a withdrawal agreement, which includes a transition period that is currently scheduled to end on December 31, 2020. During the transition period, the U.K. will remain part of the EU’s customs union and single market, and will work towards negotiating a trade deal with the EU before the transition period ends. As a result of the referendum, and the subsequent formal U.K. exit, there has been volatility in exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar. The British pound is the functional currency for approximately 2% of our sales. In addition, for any contracts that are not denominated in the same currency as the functional currency (for example, contracts denominated in British pounds where the functional currency is the U.S. dollar), we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge our risk related to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. As a result, we currently do not expect the U.K.’s exit from the EU to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
In addition, various other claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal course of business are pending or threatened against, or initiated by, us. We do not expect any of these proceedings to result in any additional liability or gains that would materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. In connection with certain of our legal matters, we may be entitled to insurance recovery for qualified legal costs or other incurred costs. We do not expect any insurance recovery to have a material impact on the financial exposure that could result from these matters.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our primary market exposures are to interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
We generally supplement our working capital requirements with a combination of variable-rate short-term and fixed-rate long-term financing. We may enter into interest rate swap agreements or treasury rate lock contracts with commercial and investment banks to manage interest rates associated with our financing arrangements. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts with commercial banks to fix the foreign currency exchange rates on specific commitments, payments to vendors and customer receipts denominated in foreign currencies. The market-risk sensitive instruments we use for hedging are directly related to a particular asset, liability or transaction for which a firm commitment is in place. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The following tables provide information as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 about our market risk exposure associated with changing interest rates. For long-term debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows by maturity date and average interest rates related to outstanding obligations. There were no interest rate swaps outstanding at December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.
Principal payments and interest rate detail for long-term debt by contractual maturity date as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, were as follows:

In May 2019, we entered into treasury rate lock contracts with a notional amount of $375 million, which were settled in the fourth quarter of 2019 without the issuance of debt due to merger-related considerations. In addition, the aggregate notional amount of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was $1,487 million and $1,772 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The net notional exposure of these foreign currency forward contracts was $746 million and $840 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
The fair value of asset derivatives included in other assets, net and liability derivatives included in other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets related to foreign currency forward contracts were as follows:

For foreign currency forward contracts and treasury rate lock contracts designated and qualifying for hedge accounting, we record the gain or loss on the derivative in AOCL, net of tax, and reclassify it into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged revenue, cost of sales or interest expense transaction affects earnings. We present the gain or loss in the same income statement line items as the earnings effect of the hedged item, which offsets the foreign exchange or interest rate gains and losses on the underlying transactions being hedged. We believe our exposure due to changes in foreign currency and interest rates is not material due to our hedging policy.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
COMPANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements and related information contained in this Annual Report have been prepared by and are the responsibility of our management. Our financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect judgments and estimates as to the expected effects of transactions and events currently being reported. Our management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements and other financial information included in this Annual Report. To meet this responsibility, we maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are properly executed and recorded. The system includes policies and procedures, internal audits and our officers’ reviews.
Our Audit Committee of our Board of Directors is composed solely of directors who are independent under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and New York Stock Exchange rules. Our Audit Committee meets periodically and, when appropriate, separately with representatives of the independent registered public accounting firm, our officers and the internal auditors to monitor the activities of each.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, was appointed by our Audit Committee to audit our financial statements and our internal control over financial reporting and their report follows. Our stockholders ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013. The Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on its assessment, management has concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the COSO in 2013. The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Raytheon Company
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Raytheon Company and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Changes in Accounting Principles
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for leases in 2019 and the manner in which it accounts for certain stranded tax effects impacting accumulated other comprehensive income in 2018.
Basis for Opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Revenue Recognition - Contract Estimates at Completion
As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the vast majority of the Company’s revenues of $29.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 2019 are from long-term contracts associated with the design, development, manufacture or modification of complex aerospace or defense equipment or related services. The Company generally recognizes revenue over time as it performs on its contractual performance obligations because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. Because of control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of the Company’s performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment by management on a contract by contract basis. These variables and significant judgments may include assumptions related to the estimated award fees, incentive fees, or other provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price, outstanding key contract matters, progress toward completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities including the ability and cost to achieve the schedule (e.g., the number and type of milestone events) and technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product), labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the performance obligation (e.g., to estimate increases in wages and prices for materials and related support cost allocations), execution by the Company’s subcontractors, the availability and timing of funding from the customer, overhead cost rates, the estimated cost of satisfying the Company’s industrial cooperation agreements required under certain contracts and the likelihood of obtaining required regulatory approvals based upon all known facts and circumstances.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition - contract estimates at completion is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgment by management in developing their estimates of total revenue and total costs at completion, including significant judgments and assumptions related to the applicable aforementioned variables on a contract by contract basis. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and in evaluating audit evidence relating to management’s estimates of total revenue and total cost at completion for contracts.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process, including controls over the determination of total revenue and total costs at completion. These procedures also included, among others, testing management’s process for developing the estimated total revenue and total costs at completion for selected contractual performance obligations. This included evaluating the reasonableness of certain significant judgments and assumptions made by management by understanding the nature and status of the selected contract
and related performance obligations, in certain instances performing retrospective reviews of contract estimates and changes in estimates over time, evaluating evidence to support selected estimated costs to complete, and inquiring of program management as to the reasonableness of the significant judgments and assumptions made by management related to the applicable aforementioned variables to support the estimates of total revenue and total costs at completion used to determine revenue recognized for the contracts selected for testing.
Pensions - Long-term Return on Plan Assets and Discount Rate Assumptions
As described in Notes 1 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the total projected benefit obligation of the Company’s pension plans was $29.0 billion as of December 31, 2019 and the total net periodic pension benefit cost was $1.1 billion for the year then ended. The Company’s long-term return on plan assets and discount rate assumptions are the key variables in determining the net periodic pension benefit cost and the projected benefit obligation of the Company’s pension plans. To establish the long-term return on plan assets assumption, management employs a “building block” approach. Management then annually considers whether it is appropriate to change its long-term return on plan assets assumption by reviewing the existing assumption against a statistically determined reasonable range of outcomes. The building block approach and the reasonable range of outcomes are based upon management’s asset allocation assumptions and long-term capital market assumptions. The discount rate represents the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of future cash flows currently expected to be required to settle the Company’s pension obligations. The discount rate assumption is determined by using a theoretical bond portfolio model consisting of high-quality bonds for which the timing and amount of cash flows approximate the estimated benefit payments for each pension plan.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the long-term return on plan assets and discount rate assumptions for pensions is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgment by management in determining the net periodic pension benefit cost and projected benefit obligation of the Company’s pension plans including the expected long-term return on plan assets and the discount rate assumptions. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and in evaluating audit evidence relating to management’s long-term return on plan assets and discount rate assumptions. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the determination of the net periodic pension benefit cost and the projected benefit obligation of the Company’s pension plans, including controls over the expected long-term return on plan assets and the discount rate assumptions. These procedures also included, among other, testing management’s process for developing the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and discount rate assumptions. This included utilizing professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in the evaluation of the reasonableness of management’s long-term return on plan assets and discount rate assumptions by evaluating the appropriateness of the building block approach used by management as well as assessing the appropriateness of the bond portfolio model and data used in management’s bond portfolio models. This also included comparing management’s capital market expectations to the Company’s historical returns, testing of management’s asset allocation assumptions, evaluating the reasonableness of management’s expectations of future investment performance and comparing associated discount rates determined by management with the bond portfolios used by management to independent yield curves.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation and Classification—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Raytheon Company, and all wholly-owned, majority-owned and otherwise controlled domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. For classification of certain current assets and liabilities, we use the duration of the related contract or program as our operating cycle, which is generally longer than one year. In addition, we reclassified certain amounts to conform to our current period presentation. As used in these notes, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Raytheon” and the “Company” mean Raytheon Company and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates another meaning.
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted the requirements of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) using the modified retrospective approach as discussed below in Accounting Standards. We reclassified certain balance sheet amounts to conform to our current period presentation.
Use of Estimates—Our consolidated financial statements are based on the application of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition—The vast majority of our revenues are from long-term contracts associated with the design, development, manufacture or modification of complex aerospace or defense equipment or related services. These contracts primarily are with the U.S. government (including foreign military sales contracted through the U.S. government). Our contracts with the U.S. government typically are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and are priced based on estimated or actual costs of producing goods or providing services. The FAR provides guidance on the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services provided under U.S. government contracts. The pricing for non-U.S. government contracts is based on the specific negotiations with each customer.
Under the typical payment terms of our U.S. government fixed-price contracts, the customer pays us either performance-based payments (PBPs) or progress payments. PBPs are interim payments equal to a negotiated percentage of the contract price based on quantifiable measures of performance or on the achievement of specified events or milestones. Progress payments are interim payments up to 80% of costs incurred as the work progresses. Because the customer retains a portion of the contract price until completion of the contract, our U.S. government fixed-price contracts generally result in revenue recognized in excess of billings which we present as contract assets on the balance sheet. Amounts billed and due from our customers are classified as receivables on the balance sheet. The portion of the payments retained by the customer until final contract settlement is not considered a significant financing component because the intent is to protect the customer. For our U.S. government cost-type contracts, the customer generally pays us for our actual costs incurred within a short period of time. For non-U.S. government contracts, we typically receive interim payments as work progresses, although for some contracts, we may be entitled to receive an advance payment. We recognize a liability for these advance payments in excess of revenue recognized and present it as contract liabilities on the balance sheet. The advance payment typically is not considered a significant financing component because it is used to meet working capital demands that can be higher in the early stages of a contract and to protect us from the other party failing to adequately complete some or all of its obligations under the contract.
To determine the proper revenue recognition method for contracts for complex aerospace or defense equipment or related services, we evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period. For most of our contracts, the customer contracts with us to provide a significant service of integrating a complex set of tasks and components into a single project or capability (even if that single project results in the delivery of multiple units). Hence, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. Less commonly, however, we may promise to provide distinct goods or services within a contract, for example when a contract covers multiple phases of the product lifecycle (e.g., development, production, maintenance and support), in which case we separate the contract into more than one performance obligation. If a contract is
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
separated into more than one performance obligation, we allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. We infrequently sell standard products with observable standalone sales. In cases where we do, the observable standalone sales are used to determine the standalone selling price. More frequently, we sell a customized customer specific solution, and in these cases we typically use the expected cost plus a margin approach to estimate the standalone selling price of each performance obligation.
We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. For certain contracts that meet the foregoing requirements, primarily international direct commercial sale contracts, we are required to obtain certain regulatory approvals. In these cases, we recognize revenue based on the likelihood of obtaining regulatory approvals based upon all known facts and circumstances.
We generally recognize revenue over time as we perform on our contractual performance obligations because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. For U.S. government contracts, this continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contract that allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay us for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and take control of any work in process. Similarly, for non-U.S. government contracts, the customer typically controls the work in process as evidenced either by contractual termination clauses or by our rights to payment for work performed to date plus a reasonable profit to deliver products or services that do not have an alternative use to the Company.
Because of control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. We generally use the cost-to-cost measure of progress for our contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Costs to fulfill include labor, materials and subcontractors’ costs, other direct costs and an allocation of indirect costs including pension and any other postretirement benefit (PRB) expense under U.S. government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS).
Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of our performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion (the process described below in more detail) is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment by management on a contract by contract basis. It is common for our long-term contracts to contain award fees, incentive fees, or other provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. These variable amounts generally are awarded upon achievement of certain performance metrics, program milestones or cost targets and can be based upon customer discretion. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us.
Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. We consider contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Most of our contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis.
We have a companywide standard and disciplined quarterly Estimate at Completion (EAC) process in which management reviews the progress and execution of our performance obligations. As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program

schedule, identified risks and opportunities and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. The risks and opportunities include management’s judgment about the ability and cost to achieve the schedule (e.g., the number and type of milestone events), technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product) and other contract requirements. Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the performance obligation (e.g., to estimate increases in wages and prices for materials and related support cost allocations), execution by our subcontractors, the availability and timing of funding from our customer, and overhead cost rates, among other variables. These estimates also include the estimated cost of satisfying our industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes in the form of either offset obligations or in-country industrial participation (ICIP) agreements, required under certain contracts. These obligations may or may not be distinct depending on their nature.
Based on this analysis, any quarterly adjustments to net sales, cost of sales and the related impact to operating income are recognized as necessary in the period they become known. These adjustments may result from positive program performance, and may result in an increase in operating income during the performance of individual performance obligations, if we determine we will be successful in mitigating risks surrounding the technical, schedule and cost aspects of those performance obligations or realizing related opportunities. Likewise, these adjustments may result in a decrease in operating income if we determine we will not be successful in mitigating these risks or realizing related opportunities. Changes in estimates of net sales, cost of sales and the related impact to operating income are recognized quarterly on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a performance obligation’s percentage of completion. A significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of one or more of our performance obligations. When estimates of total costs to be incurred exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned on a performance obligation related to complex aerospace or defense equipment or related services, or product maintenance or separately priced extended warranty, a provision for the entire loss on the performance obligation is recognized in the period the loss is identified.
Net EAC adjustments had the following impact on our operating results:

In addition, net revenue recognized from our performance obligations satisfied in previous periods was $709 million, $636 million and $520 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. This primarily relates to EAC adjustments that impacted revenue.
We also sell security software through our Forcepoint business segment. For the majority of these arrangements, we recognize revenue over the term of the agreement because the software requires continuous updates to provide the intended security functionality. To a lesser extent in all of our business segments, we enter into other types of contracts including service arrangements and non-subscription software and licensing agreements. We recognize revenue for these arrangements over time or at a point in time depending on our evaluation of when the customer obtains control of the promised goods or services. For software arrangements that include multiple performance obligations, including hardware, perpetual software licenses, subscriptions, term licenses and maintenance and/or services, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on estimates of the price that we would charge the customer for each promised product or service if it were sold on a standalone basis.
Certain events have caused increased attention on U.S. defense sales to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). KSA represents less than 5% of our sales and $2.9 billion of our remaining performance obligations at December 31, 2019. Although we currently do not expect to be prevented from doing business in KSA, if government action impairs our ability to fulfill our contractual obligations or otherwise to continue to do business in KSA, it would have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Research and Development Expenses—Research and development expenses are included in general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations and have primarily been for product development for the U.S. government. Expenditures for Company-sponsored research and development projects are expensed as incurred, and were $732 million, $841 million and $700 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Customer-sponsored research and development projects performed under contracts are accounted for as contract costs as the work is performed and included in receivables, net or contract assets in our consolidated balance sheets, depending on whether costs have been billed or not.
Federal, Foreign and State Income Taxes—The Company and its domestic subsidiaries provide for federal income taxes on pretax accounting income at rates in effect under existing tax law. Foreign subsidiaries record provisions for income taxes at applicable foreign tax rates in a similar manner. Such provisions differ from the amounts currently payable because certain items of income and expense are recognized in different time periods for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes. The Company provides for a U.S. tax liability on outside basis differences in our foreign subsidiaries related to earnings which have been previously taxed in the U.S. and undistributed earnings generated after December 31, 2017. This U.S. deferred tax liability generally relates to foreign currency movement. The Company also records foreign withholding taxes applicable to distributions of foreign earnings. The Company continues to assert indefinite reinvestment on outside basis differences related to all other items, such as acquisition accounting adjustments prior to January 1, 2018. With the exception of Forcepoint, payments made for state income taxes are included in administrative and selling expenses as these costs can generally be recovered through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. government in the period in which the tax is payable. Accordingly, the state income tax provision (benefit) is allocated to contracts when it is paid (recovered) or otherwise agreed as allocable with the U.S. government. Payments made for state income taxes related to Forcepoint are included in federal and foreign income tax expense.
Other (Income) Expense, Net—Other (income) expense, net, consists primarily of gains and losses from our investments held in trusts used to fund certain of our non-qualified deferred compensation and employee benefit plans, gains and losses on the early repurchase of long-term debt and certain financing fees. Periodically we enter into equity method or other investments that are not related to our core operations, including investments in early stage technology companies. We record the income or loss from these investments as a component of other (income) expense, net. We record losses beyond the carrying amount of the investment only when we guarantee obligations of the investee or commit to provide the investee further financial support.
Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates the carrying value due to their short maturities. Cash and cash equivalents excludes $6 million and $16 million of restricted cash at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which for purposes of our consolidated statements of cash flows, is included in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.
Short-term Investments—We may invest in marketable securities in accordance with our short-term investment policy and cash management strategy. Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value as short-term investments in our consolidated balance sheets. These investments are deemed Level 2 assets under the fair value hierarchy as their fair value is determined under a market approach using valuation models that utilize observable inputs, including maturity date, issue date, settlements date and current rates. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had 0 short-term investments as all short-term investments outstanding at December 31, 2017 matured in the first quarter of 2018. We did 0t have any sales of short-term investments in 2019 or 2018. For purposes of computing realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, we determine cost on a specific identification basis.
Receivables, Net—Receivables, net, include amounts billed and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. The allowance is based upon an assessment of customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience, the age of outstanding receivables and collateral to the extent applicable.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Receivables, net, consisted of the following at December 31:

| Allowance for doubtful accounts | (7 | ) | | (12 | ) |
| Total receivables, net | $ | 1,364 |
| | $ | 1,648 |
|
Contract Assets—Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under long-term contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Contract assets are generally classified as current.
Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower of its cost (first-in, first-out or average cost) or net realizable value. An impairment for excess or inactive inventory is recorded based upon an analysis that considers current inventory levels, historical usage patterns, future sales expectations and salvage value.
Inventories consisted of the following at December 31:
|
| | | | | | | |
| (In millions) | 2019 |
| | 2018 |

Precontract costs are costs incurred to fulfill a contract prior to contract award. Precontract costs, including general and administrative expenses that are specifically chargeable to the customer, are deferred in inventories if we determine that the costs are probable of recovery under a specific anticipated contract. All other precontract costs, including start-up costs, are expensed as incurred. Costs that are deferred are recognized as contract costs upon the receipt of the anticipated contract. We included deferred precontract costs of $182 million and $163 million in inventories as work in process at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Deferred Commissions—Our incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, which consist of sales commissions primarily for our security software sales at Forcepoint, are deferred and amortized over the period of contract performance or a longer period, generally the estimated life of the customer relationship, if renewals are expected and the renewal commission is not commensurate with the initial commission. We classify deferred commissions as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize the expense. The current and noncurrent portions of deferred commissions are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and other assets, net, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheets. At both December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had deferred commissions of $55 million. Amortization expense related to deferred commissions was $26 million, $45 million and $28 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net—Property, plant and equipment, net, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major improvements are capitalized while expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor improvements are expensed. We include gains and losses on the sales of plant and equipment that are allocable to our contracts in overhead as we generally can recover these costs through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. government. For all other sales or asset retirements, the assets and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operating income.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Provisions for depreciation generally are computed using a combination of accelerated and straight-line methods and are based on estimated useful lives as follows:
|
| |
| | Years |
| Machinery and equipment | 3–10 |
| Buildings | 20–45 |
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement.
Leases—We determine if an arrangement is a lease or contains an embedded lease at inception. For lease agreements with both lease and nonlease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs), we account for the nonlease components separately. Consideration is allocated to the lease and nonlease components based on the estimated standalone prices.
All of our existing leases are operating leases. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The current portion of operating lease liabilities is included in other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. For the majority of our leases, the discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is our incremental borrowing rate as of the lease commencement date, as the implicit rate is not readily determinable. The operating lease right-of-use assets also includes any initial direct costs and any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, and is reduced for any unrestricted incentives received at or before the commencement date.
Some of our leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. We include these options in the recognition of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option. Very few of our leases include variable lease-related payments, such as escalation clauses based on consumer price index (CPI) rates, or residual guarantees. Variable payments that are based on an index or a rate are included in the recognition of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities using the index or rate at lease commencement; however, changes to these lease payments due to rate or index updates are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred. Amounts probable of payment under residual guarantees are also included in the recognition of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
Impairment of Goodwill and Long-lived Assets—We evaluate our goodwill for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. We perform our annual impairment test as of the first day of the fourth quarter utilizing a two-step methodology that requires us to first identify potential goodwill impairment and then measure the amount of the related goodwill impairment loss, if any. We have identified our operating segments as reporting units under the impairment test assessment criteria outlined in U.S. GAAP. In performing our annual impairment test in the fourth quarters of 2019, 2018 and 2017 we did not identify any goodwill impairment.
We determine whether long-lived assets are to be held for use or disposal. Upon indication of possible impairment of long-lived assets held for use, we evaluate the recoverability of such assets by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against the related estimated undiscounted future cash flows. When an evaluation indicates that the future undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset group, the asset group is adjusted to its estimated fair value. In order for long-lived assets to be considered held for disposal, we must have committed to a plan to dispose of the assets. Once deemed held for disposal, the assets are stated at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value.
Computer Software, Net—Internal use computer software, net, included in other assets, net, which consists primarily of our enterprisewide software solutions, is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and is amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life, generally 10 years. Computer software development costs related to software products developed for external use are capitalized, when significant, after establishment of technological feasibility and marketability. There have been 0 such costs capitalized to date as the costs incurred during the period between technological feasibility to general release have not been significant.
Contract Liabilities—Our contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized and deferred revenue. We may also receive up-front payments related to software license sales primarily for Forcepoint, which
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
in most cases we recognize ratably over the license term. Our contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. We classify advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized as current, and deferred revenue as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue. The noncurrent portion of deferred revenue is included in accrued retiree benefits and other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
In order to determine revenue recognized in the period from contract liabilities, we first allocate revenue to the individual contract liability balance outstanding at the beginning of the period until the revenue exceeds that balance. If additional advances are received on those contracts in subsequent periods, we assume all revenue recognized in the reporting period first applies to the beginning contract liability as opposed to a portion applying to the new advances for the period.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests—Redeemable noncontrolling interest is recognized at the greater of the estimated redemption value as of the balance sheet date or the initial value adjusted for the noncontrolling interest holder’s share of the cumulative impact of net income (loss), other changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and additional contributions. Adjustments to the redemption value over the period from the date of acquisition to the redemption date are immediately recorded to retained earnings. We reflect the redemption value adjustments in the earnings per share (EPS) calculation if redemption value is in excess of the fair value of noncontrolling interest which resulted in a $0.01 favorable impact to both basic and diluted EPS in 2018. There was 0 impact to basic or diluted EPS in 2019 or 2017 related to the redemption value adjustments.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)—Other comprehensive income (loss) includes gains and losses associated with pension and PRB plans, foreign exchange translation adjustments, gains and losses on derivative instruments qualified as cash flow hedges included in the assessment of effectiveness, and unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale investments. The computation of other comprehensive income (loss) and its components are presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
In the first quarter of 2018, we reclassified the stranded tax effects related to the enactment of the 2017 Act from accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) to retained earnings in accordance with ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. These stranded tax effects related to the deferred tax amounts at December 31, 2017 recorded through other comprehensive income prior to the enactment date using the prior 35% statutory tax rate that remained in other comprehensive income despite the fact that the related deferred tax assets and liabilities were remeasured to reflect the newly enacted tax rate of 21%. See Accounting Standards, below, for additional details.
Other material amounts reclassified out of AOCL related to the amortization of net actuarial loss associated with our pension plans were $1,050 million, $1,351 million and $1,177 million before tax in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. This component of AOCL is included in the calculation of net periodic pension expense (income). See “Note 14: Pension and Other Employee Benefits” for additional details.
We expect $3 million net of tax of net unrealized gains on our cash flow hedges at December 31, 2019 to be reclassified into earnings at then-current values over the next 12 months as the underlying hedged transactions occur.
Translation of Foreign Currencies—Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates and the effects of these translation adjustments are reported as a component of AOCL in equity. Prior to the enactment of the 2017 Act, deferred taxes were not recognized for translation-related temporary differences of foreign subsidiaries as their undistributed earnings were considered to be indefinitely reinvested. After the enactment of the 2017 Act, we no longer assert indefinite reinvestment on our foreign subsidiaries outside basis differences generated after December 31, 2017. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses associated with the subsidiary’s net assets, including unremitted earnings, represent translation gains and losses that are reported as part of other comprehensive income (loss). Therefore, the deferred tax effect of the translation gains and losses are also recorded through other comprehensive income (loss) after December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2019, we had a cumulative translation loss on the unremitted earnings, and therefore, have not recorded a deferred tax asset as it is not likely that the asset will be realized in the future. Income and expenses in foreign currencies are translated at the average exchange rate during the period.
Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses in 2019, 2018 and 2017 were not material.
Treasury Stock—Repurchased shares are retired immediately upon repurchase. We account for treasury stock under the cost method. Upon retirement the excess over par value is charged against additional paid-in capital until reduced to zero, with the remainder recorded as a reduction to retained earnings.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits (PRB) Costs—We have pension plans covering the majority of our employees hired before January 1, 2007, including certain employees in foreign countries. We calculate our pension costs as required under U.S. GAAP, and the calculations and assumptions utilized require judgment. U.S. GAAP outlines the methodology used to determine pension expense or income for financial reporting purposes. Pension and PRB expense is split between operating income and non-operating income, where only the service cost component is included in operating income and the non-service components are included in retirement benefits non-service expense. For purposes of determining retirement benefits non-service expense under U.S. GAAP, a calculated “market-related value” of our plan assets is used to develop the amount of deferred asset gains or losses to be amortized. The market-related value of assets is determined using actual asset gains or losses over a three-year period. Under U.S. GAAP, a “corridor” approach may be elected and applied in the recognition of asset and liability gains or losses which limits expense recognition to the net outstanding gains and losses in excess of the greater of 10% of the projected benefit obligation (PBO) or the calculated “market-related value” of assets. We do not use a “corridor” approach in the calculation of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) pension expense.
We recognize the funded status of a postretirement benefit plan (defined benefit pension and other benefits) as an asset or liability in our consolidated balance sheets. Funded status represents the difference between the PBO of the plan and the market value of the plan’s assets. Previously unrecognized deferred amounts such as demographic or asset gains or losses and the impact of historical plan changes are included in AOCL. Changes in these amounts in future years will be reflected through AOCL and amortized in future pension expense generally over the estimated average remaining employee service period.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Derivative Financial Instruments—We enter into foreign currency forward contracts with commercial banks to fix the foreign currency exchange rates on specific commitments, payments and receipts denominated in foreign currencies. Our foreign currency forward contracts are transaction driven and relate directly to a particular asset, liability or transaction for which commitments are in place. We execute these instruments with financial institutions that we judge to be credit-worthy. The majority of our foreign currency forward contracts are denominated in currencies of major industrial countries. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
We designate most foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted purchases and sales denominated in foreign currencies. For foreign currency forward contracts designated and qualified for cash flow hedge accounting, we record the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative in AOCL, net of tax, and reclassify it into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged revenue or cost of sales transaction affects earnings. Realized gains and losses resulting from these cash flow hedges offset the foreign exchange gains and losses on the underlying transactions being hedged. We classify the cash flows from these instruments in the same category as the cash flows from the hedged items. To a lesser extent, we have gains and losses on derivatives not designated for hedge accounting or representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, which are recognized currently in net sales or cost of sales.
The aggregate notional amount of the outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was $1,487 million and $1,772 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The net notional exposure of these contracts was $746 million and $840 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The foreign currency forward contracts at December 31, 2019 have maturities at various dates through 2030 as follows: $922 million in 2020; $315 million in 2021; $122 million in 2022; and $128 million thereafter.
We recognize all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of asset derivatives included in other assets, net and liability derivatives included in other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets related to foreign currency forward contracts were as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | |
| (In millions) | | 2019 |
| | 2018 |
|
| Asset derivatives related to foreign currency forward contracts | | $ | 29 |
| | $ | 26 |
|
| Liability derivatives related to foreign currency forward contracts | | 15 |
| | 34 |
|
The fair value of these derivatives is Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy because they are determined based on a market approach utilizing externally quoted foreign currency forward rates for similar contracts. Our foreign currency forward contracts contain offset or netting provisions to mitigate credit risk in the event of counterparty default, including payment default and cross default. We measure and record the impact of counterparty credit risk into our valuation and at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of our counterparty default exposure was less than $1 million and was spread across numerous highly rated counterparties.
We may also enter into pay-variable, receive-fixed interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with our fixed-rate financing obligations. We account for our interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of a portion of our fixed-rate financing obligations, and accordingly record gains and losses from changes in the fair value of these swaps in interest expense, along with the offsetting gains and losses on the fair value adjustment of the hedged portion of our fixed-rate financing obligations. We also record in interest expense the net amount paid or received under the swap for the period and the amortization of gain or loss from the early termination of interest rate swaps. There were 0 interest rate swaps outstanding at December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.
We may also enter into and designate treasury rate lock contracts as cash flow hedges to reduce variability in cash flows due to changes in interest payments attributable to increases or decreases in the benchmark interest rate during the period leading up to the probable issuance of long-term debt. Cash flows associated with these instruments are presented in the same category as the cash flows from the hedged item. In May 2019, prior to entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with United Technologies Corporation (UTC), we entered into treasury rate lock contracts with a notional amount of $375 million. These treasury rate lock contracts were designated as cash flow hedges and were included in the assessment of effectiveness. However, in the fourth quarter of 2019 a decision was made to not issue the debt due to merger-related considerations, and these treasury rate locks were settled without the issuance of debt. We recognized the $17 million loss
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
included in accumulated other comprehensive income at the time of settlement in other (income) expense, net. There were 0 treasury rate lock contracts outstanding at December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.
Fair Values—Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required:
| |
| Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| |
| Level 2: | Observable inputs, other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or that we corroborate with observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities. |
| |
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of marketable securities held in trusts and foreign currency forward contracts as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. Fair value information for those assets and liabilities, including their classification in the fair value hierarchy, is included in “Note 14: Pension and Other Employee Benefits” (for marketable securities held in trusts) and Derivative Financial Instruments, above (for foreign currency forward contracts). Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. We did not have any significant nonfinancial assets or nonfinancial liabilities that would be recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. We did not have any material amounts of Level 3 assets or liabilities at December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Earnings per Share (EPS)—We compute basic EPS attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders by dividing income from continuing operations attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders, income (loss) from discontinued operations attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders, and net income attributable to Raytheon Company, by our weighted-average common shares outstanding, including participating securities outstanding, as described below, during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution beyond shares for basic EPS that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted into common stock, or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would have shared in our earnings. We compute basic and diluted EPS using actual income from continuing operations attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders, income (loss) from discontinued operations attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders and net income attributable to Raytheon Company, and our actual weighted-average shares outstanding rather than the numbers presented within our consolidated financial statements, which are rounded to the nearest million. As a result, it may not be possible to recalculate EPS as presented in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, it may not be possible to recalculate EPS attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders by adjusting EPS from continuing operations by EPS from discontinued operations.
We include all unvested stock awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, in the number of shares outstanding in our basic EPS calculation as they are considered participating securities. As a result, we have included all of our outstanding unvested awards of restricted stock, as well as restricted stock units (RSUs) and Long-term Performance Plan (LTPP) awards that meet the retirement eligible criteria in our calculation of basic EPS. We disclose EPS for common stock and unvested stock-based payment awards, and separately disclose distributed and undistributed earnings. Distributed earnings represent common stock dividends and dividends earned on unvested awards of restricted stock and stock-based payment awards of retirement eligible employees. Undistributed earnings represent earnings that were available for distribution but were not distributed. Common stock and unvested stock-based payment awards earn dividends equally.
As described in “Note 11: Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests,” prior to our acquisition of Vista Equity Partners’ interest in Forcepoint in the fourth quarter of 2019, we recorded redeemable noncontrolling interest related to their interest. We reflected the redemption value adjustments for redeemable noncontrolling interest in both the basic and diluted EPS calculation for the portion of redemption value that was in excess of the fair value of noncontrolling interest.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Employee Stock Plans—Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award. The expense is recognized over the employees’ requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award. The expense is amortized over the service period using the graded vesting method for our restricted stock and RSUs and the straight-line amortization method for our LTPP. The expense related to our Forcepoint long-term incentive plans is recognized over the requisite service period when achievement of the performance conditions is considered probable. We account for forfeitures when they occur, consistent with our government recovery accounting practice. The gross excess tax benefit received upon exercise of stock options or vesting of a stock-based award, if any, is reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows as an operating activity.
Risks and Uncertainties—We provide a wide range of technologically advanced products, services and solutions for principally governmental customers in the U.S. and abroad, and are subject to certain business risks specific to that industry. Total sales to the U.S. government, excluding foreign military sales, were 69% of total net sales in 2019, 68% of total net sales in 2018 and 67% of total net sales in 2017. Total sales to customers outside the U.S., including foreign military sales through the U.S. government, were 29% of total net sales in 2019, 30% of total net sales in 2018 and 32% of total net sales in 2017. Sales to the U.S. government may be affected by changes in procurement policies, budget considerations, changing concepts of national defense, political developments abroad and other factors. Sales to international customers may be affected by changes in the priorities and budgets of international customers and geopolitical uncertainties, which may be driven by changes in threat environments, volatility in worldwide economic conditions, regional and local economic and political factors, U.S. foreign policy and other risks and uncertainties.
Remaining Performance Obligations—Remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts (e.g., indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ)). As of December 31, 2019, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $48,752 million. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately half and three-quarters of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 and 24 months, respectively, with the remainder recognized thereafter.
Accounting Standards—In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which eliminates the disclosure requirement of the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and modifies certain disclosure requirements related to Level 3 recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Effective January 1, 2019, we elected to early adopt the requirements of the new standard on a prospective basis. The standard did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-24): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Effective January 1, 2019, we elected to early adopt the requirements of the new standard on a prospective basis. The standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for most lease arrangements. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted the requirements of the new lease standard using the modified retrospective approach, applying the new lease requirements at the beginning of the earliest period presented. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which, among other things, allows us to carry forward the historical lease classification. We did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of right-of-use assets. The standard resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets of $805 million and operating lease liabilities of $841 million, of which $194 million was classified as current and is included in other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet, as of December 31, 2018, with immaterial changes to other balance sheet accounts. The standard had no impact on our results
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
of operations or cash flows. In addition, new disclosures are provided to enable users to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows companies to reclassify stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 Act, from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. These stranded tax effects refer to the tax amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income at the previous 35% U.S. statutory tax rate, for which the related deferred tax asset or liability was remeasured to the new 21% U.S. corporate statutory federal tax rate in the period of the 2017 Act enactment. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and can be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period impacted by the 2017 Act. We elected to early adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 2018 and we elected to reclassify the stranded income tax effects of the 2017 Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings in the period of adoption. This resulted in an increase to AOCL of $1,451 million and an increase in retained earnings of $1,451 million in the first quarter of 2018, almost all of which related to our pension and PRB plans, net. The standard did not have an impact on our results of operations or liquidity. Income tax effects remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income will be released into earnings as the related before tax amounts are reclassified to earnings.
Other new pronouncements adopted and issued but not effective until after December 31, 2019, including ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), did not and are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Note 2: Proposed Merger with United Technologies Corporation (UTC)
On June 9, 2019, Raytheon, United Technologies Corporation, a Delaware corporation (UTC), and Light Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of UTC (Merger Sub), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement). The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, the merger of Merger Sub with and into Raytheon (the Merger), with Raytheon surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of UTC.
At the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), each share of common stock of Raytheon issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for shares held by Raytheon as treasury stock) will be converted into the right to receive 2.3348 shares of common stock of UTC (and, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares), less any applicable withholding taxes. At the Effective Time, Raytheon’s stockholders will hold approximately 43%, and UTC’s stockholders will hold approximately 57%, of the outstanding shares of common stock of UTC.
The Merger Agreement also provides that, prior to the consummation of the Merger, UTC will complete the previously announced separation of its commercial businesses, Otis and Carrier, from its other businesses (the Separation), and the pro rata distributions to its stockholders of 100% of the common stock of the entity holding the Otis business and 100% of the common stock of the entity holding the Carrier business (the Distributions).
The Merger was approved by Raytheon’s stockholders at a special meeting of Raytheon’s stockholders held on October 11, 2019. The issuance of shares of UTC Common Stock in connection with the Merger was approved by UTC’s stockholders at a special meeting of UTC’s stockholders held on October 11, 2019.
The parties’ obligations to consummate the Separation, the Distributions and the Merger remains subject to customary conditions, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (HSR Act), and the receipt of other required regulatory approvals. In addition, the parties’ obligations to consummate the Merger are subject to the prior completion of the Separation and the Distributions.
The Merger Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of Raytheon and UTC (generally excluding the Otis business and the Carrier business). Between the date of execution of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time, each of Raytheon and UTC (generally with respect to its aerospace business) has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to conduct its businesses in all material respects in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and to comply with certain operating covenants. In addition, the Merger Agreement generally restricts certain actions by both Raytheon and UTC, including the incurrence or issuance of new debt in excess of $1 billion in the aggregate (unless used to refinance existing
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
debt), acquisitions or divestitures in excess of $500 million in the aggregate, and repurchases or issuances of shares other than in accordance with our existing equity award programs. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that, immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, the adjusted net indebtedness of UTC’s aerospace business will not exceed an amount as provided for under the Merger Agreement.
Subject to certain exceptions, each of Raytheon and UTC has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to be completed. The Merger Agreement includes certain termination provisions for both UTC and Raytheon and provides that, in connection with a termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, Raytheon will be required to pay UTC a termination fee of $1.785 billion, or UTC will be required to pay Raytheon a termination fee of $2.365 billion.
The Merger is targeted to close early in the second quarter of 2020, subject to and following completion by UTC of the Separation and Distributions.

Note 4: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Goodwill
In pursuing our business strategies, we acquire and make investments in certain businesses that meet strategic and financial criteria, and divest of certain non-core businesses, investments and assets when appropriate.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
In 2013, we formed the Range Generation Next LLC (RGNext) joint venture with General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) through our Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS) segment, in which we held a 50% equity ownership that was accounted for using the equity method. On February 8, 2019, we amended and restated the RGNext joint venture agreement and acquired an additional 10% equity ownership in the joint venture, increasing our equity ownership to 60% and giving us control of the operations of RGNext. Effective as of February 8, 2019, we consolidate the results of RGNext in our consolidated financial statements and report its results in our IIS segment. We also remeasured our equity method investment in RGNext to fair value, which resulted in a non-cash gain of $21 million in the first quarter of 2019 that was recorded in operating income through a reduction to cost of sales at our IIS segment; recognized redeemable noncontrolling interest for GDIT’s interest in RGNext at a fair value of $32 million; and recognized $90 million of net assets, including cash acquired, at fair value. As part of our purchase price allocation, we recorded $19 million of goodwill, primarily related to the value of the existing workforce, and $34 million of intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships with a weighted-average life of 7 years.
In May 2018, we completed the sale of our commercial cloud-based call center analytics solutions business for $11 million in cash, net of transaction-related costs. This business was part of our Space and Airborne Systems (SAS) segment. The Company recognized a gain of $8 million before tax, $5 million net of tax, which was recorded as a reduction to cost of sales at our SAS segment in the second quarter of 2018.
In 2017, our Forcepoint business completed the acquisitions of RedOwl Analytics Inc., a security analytics business, and the Skyfence cloud access security broker (CASB) business for total consideration of $93 million, net of cash received, and exclusive of retention payments. Vista Equity Partners contributed 19.7% of the purchase price for the Skyfence acquisition. Both acquisitions expand and enhance Forcepoint’s strategy to deliver cybersecurity systems that help customers understand people’s behaviors and intent as they interact with data and intellectual property wherever it may reside. In connection with these acquisitions, we recorded $77 million of goodwill, primarily related to expected synergies from combining operations and the value of the existing workforce, and $12 million of intangible assets, primarily related to technology and customer relationships.
Pro forma financial information and revenue from the date of acquisition has not been provided for these acquisitions as they are not material either individually or in the aggregate.
We funded each of the above acquisitions using cash on hand. The operating results of these businesses have been included in our consolidated results as of the respective closing dates of the acquisitions. The purchase price of these businesses has been allocated to the estimated fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, with any excess purchase price recorded as goodwill. The total amount of goodwill that is expected to be deductible for tax purposes related to these acquisitions was $28 million at December 31, 2019.

The $577 million increase in our net contract assets (liabilities) from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019 was primarily due to a $528 million increase in our contract assets, principally due to the timing of milestone payments on certain international programs.
On May 24, 2019, the Administration announced an emergency certification authorizing the immediate export of 22 pending arms sales to Jordan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the KSA, waiving the requirement of Congressional Notification of these arms sales. As a result, we were able to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals and licenses for contracts subject to the emergency certification. For those contracts for which we have not yet obtained the regulatory approval and licenses and that were not subject to the emergency certification, we had approximately $1.2 billion of total contract value, recognized approximately $400 million of sales for work performed to date and received approximately $500 million in advances as of December 31, 2019. On a contract-by-contract basis, we had $100 million and $200 million of net contract assets and net contract liabilities, respectively, related to the contracts pending approval.
Impairment losses recognized on our receivables and contract assets were de minimis in 2019, 2018 and 2017.
Contract assets consisted of the following at December 31:

The U.S. government has title to the assets related to unbilled amounts on U.S. government contracts that provide progress payments. Included in contract assets at December 31, 2019 was $24 million which is expected to be collected outside of one year.
Contract assets include retentions arising from contractual provisions. At December 31, 2019, retentions were $94 million. We anticipate collecting $20 million of these retentions in 2020 and the balance thereafter.
In 2019, 2018 and 2017, we recognized revenue of $1,919 million, $1,453 million and $1,434 million related to our contract liabilities at January 1, 2019, January 1, 2018 and January 1, 2017, respectively.

In September 2019, we entered into a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility maturing in November 2021 and terminated the previous $1.25 billion revolving credit facility maturing in November 2020 without penalty. Under the credit facility, we can borrow, issue letters of credit and backstop commercial paper. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at various rate options, including LIBOR plus a margin based on our credit ratings. Based on our credit ratings at December 31, 2019, borrowings would generally bear interest at LIBOR plus 80.5 basis points. The credit facility is composed of commitments from 20 separate highly rated lenders, each committing no more than 10% of the facility. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 there were 0 borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under our credit facilities.
Under the credit facility we must comply with certain covenants, including a ratio of total debt to total capitalization of no more than 60%. Our ratio of total debt to total capitalization, as those terms are defined in the credit facility, was 28.0% at December 31, 2019. We are providing this ratio as this metric is used by our lenders to monitor our leverage and is also a threshold that could limit our ability to utilize this facility. We were in compliance with our credit facility covenants as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Total cash paid for interest on commercial paper and long-term debt was $193 million, $194 million and $214 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Note 9: Leases
We enter into operating leases primarily for: real estate, including for manufacturing, engineering, research, administration, sales and warehousing facilities; information technology equipment; and other equipment. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we did 0t have any finance leases. Approximately 90% of our future lease commitments, and related

Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental Matters—We are involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to remediation of various environmental sites. Our estimate of the liability of total environmental remediation costs includes the use of a discount rate and takes into account that a portion of these costs is eligible for future recovery through the pricing of our products and services to the U.S. government. We regularly assess the probability of recovery of these costs, which requires us to make assumptions about the extent of cost recovery under our contracts and the amount of future contract activity. We consider such recovery probable based on government contracting regulations and our long history of receiving reimbursement for such costs, and accordingly have recorded the estimated future recovery of these costs from the U.S. government within prepaid expenses and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Our estimates regarding remediation costs to be incurred were as follows at December 31:
|
| | | | | | | |
| (In millions, except percentages) | 2019 |
| | 2018 |
|
| Total remediation costs—undiscounted | $ | 188 |

|

|
We also lease certain government-owned properties and generally are not liable for remediation of preexisting environmental contamination at these sites. As a result, we generally do not provide for these costs in our consolidated financial statements.
Due to the complexity of environmental laws and regulations, the varying costs and effectiveness of alternative cleanup methods and technologies, the uncertainty of insurance coverage, and the unresolved extent of our responsibility, it is difficult to determine the ultimate outcome of environmental matters. However, we do not expect any additional liability to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Financing Arrangements and Other—We issue guarantees, and banks and surety companies issue, on our behalf, letters of credit and surety bonds, to meet various bid, performance, warranty, retention and advance payment obligations for us or our affiliates. These instruments expire on various dates through 2028. Additional guarantees of project performance for which there is no stated value also remain outstanding. The stated values outstanding consisted of the following at December 31:

We provide guarantees and letters of credit to certain affiliates to assist them in obtaining financing on more favorable terms, making bids on contracts and performing their contractual obligations. While we expect our affiliates to satisfy their loans and meet their project performance and other contractual obligations, their failure to do so may result in a future obligation to us. We periodically evaluate the risk of our affiliates failing to meet their obligations. At December 31, 2019, we believe the risk that our affiliates will not be able to meet their obligations is minimal for the foreseeable future based on their current
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
financial condition. All obligations were current at December 31, 2019. At both December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had an estimated liability of $3 million related to these guarantees.
We have entered into industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes in the form of either offset agreements or ICIP agreements, as a condition to obtaining orders for our products and services from certain customers in foreign countries. At December 31, 2019, the aggregate amount of our offset agreements, both agreed to and anticipated to be agreed to, had an outstanding notional value of approximately $9.5 billion. These agreements are designed to return economic value to the foreign country by requiring us to engage in activities supporting local defense or commercial industries, promoting a balance of trade, developing in-country technology capabilities or addressing other local development priorities. Offset agreements may be satisfied through activities that do not require a direct cash payment, including transferring technology, providing manufacturing, training and other consulting support to in-country projects, and the purchase by third parties (e.g., our vendors) of supplies from in-country vendors. These agreements may also be satisfied through our use of cash for activities such as subcontracting with local partners, purchasing supplies from in-country vendors, providing financial support for in-country projects and making investments in local ventures. Such activities may also vary by country depending upon requirements as dictated by their governments. We typically do not commit to offset agreements until orders for our products or services are definitive. The amounts ultimately applied against our offset agreements are based on negotiations with the customers and typically require cash outlays that represent only a fraction of the notional value in the offset agreements. Offset programs usually extend over several or more years and may provide for penalties in the event we fail to perform in accordance with offset requirements. Historically, we have not been required to pay any penalties of significance.
As a U.S. government contractor, we are subject to many levels of audit and investigation by the U.S. government relating to our contract performance and compliance with applicable rules and regulations. Agencies that oversee contract performance include: the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA); the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA); the Inspectors General of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and other departments and agencies; the Government Accountability Office (GAO); the Department of Justice (DOJ); and Congressional Committees. Other areas of our business operations may also be subject to audit and investigation by these and/or other agencies. From time to time, agencies investigate or conduct audits to determine whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable requirements. Such investigations and audits may be initiated due to a number of reasons, including as a result of a whistleblower complaint. Such investigations and audits could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, the suspension of government export licenses or the 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. Our final allowable incurred costs for each year are also subject to audit and have, from time to time, resulted in disputes between us and the U.S. government, with litigation resulting at the Court of Federal Claims (COFC) or the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) or their related courts of appeals. In addition, the DOJ has, from time to time, convened grand juries to investigate possible irregularities by us. We also provide products and services to customers outside of the U.S., and those sales are subject to local government laws, regulations and procurement policies and practices. Our compliance with such local government regulations or any applicable U.S. government regulations (e.g., the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)) may also be investigated or audited. Other than as specifically disclosed herein, we do not expect these audits, investigations or disputes to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, either individually or in the aggregate.
Raytheon has received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) seeking information in connection with an investigation into whether there were improper payments made by Thales-Raytheon Systems (TRS), Raytheon or anyone acting on their behalf in connection with TRS or Raytheon contracts in certain Middle East countries since 2014. Raytheon maintains a rigorous anti-corruption compliance program, is cooperating fully with the SEC’s inquiry, and is examining whether there has been any conduct that is in violation of Raytheon policy. At this point there is no ability to predict the outcome of the SEC’s inquiry. Based on the information available to date, however, we do not believe the results of this inquiry will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
In addition, various other claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal course of business are pending or threatened against, or initiated by, us. We do not expect any of these proceedings to result in any additional liability or gains that would materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. In connection with certain of our legal matters, we may be entitled to insurance recovery for qualified legal costs or other incurred costs. We do not expect any insurance recovery to have a material impact on the financial exposure that could result from these matters.

Note 11: Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
Forcepoint is a cybersecurity company that we created in May 2015 as a joint venture with Vista Equity Partners. The joint venture agreement between Raytheon and Vista Equity Partners provided Vista Equity Partners with the ability to liquidate its ownership through a put option, which became exercisable on May 29, 2017. The put option allowed Vista Equity Partners to require Raytheon to purchase all of Vista Equity Partners’ interest in Forcepoint for cash at a price equal to fair value as determined under the joint venture agreement. Vista Equity Partners’ interest in Forcepoint was presented as redeemable noncontrolling interest, outside of stockholders’ equity, in our consolidated balance sheets.
In October 2019, Vista Equity Partners formally exercised its put right to require Raytheon to purchase Vista Equity Partners’ interest in Forcepoint. As a result, the parties engaged in a formal process under the joint venture agreement to determine the fair value, as defined in the joint venture agreement, of such interest. On November 18, 2019, Raytheon completed the acquisition of Vista Equity Partners’ interest in Forcepoint for $588 million in cash. As part of the acquisition, we eliminated the historical adjustments to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest of $128 million, with the offset to retained earnings. In addition, we eliminated the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest of $263 million and recognized a loss in additional paid-in capital of $324 million for the difference between the purchase price and the carrying value, excluding $1 million which was reclassed to AOCL. In addition, the related transaction costs of $4 million were charged to additional paid-in capital. Any reduction to additional paid-in capital in excess of zero was recorded as a reduction to retained earnings.
As discussed in “Note 4: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Goodwill,” in February 2019, we amended and restated the RGNext joint venture agreement and acquired an additional 10% equity ownership in the joint venture, increasing our equity ownership to 60% and giving us control of the operations, with GDIT obtaining only protective rights. As a result, we now consolidate the results of RGNext in our consolidated financial statements. The amendment to the RGNext joint venture agreement provides GDIT with the ability to liquidate its ownership and receive an amount equal to its contributed capital (the redemption value). As such, GDIT’s interest in RGNext is presented as redeemable noncontrolling interest, outside of stockholders’ equity, in our consolidated balance sheets, and is recorded at the greater of its carrying value or the redemption value.

In November 2017, our Board also authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $2.0 billion of our outstanding common stock. At December 31, 2019, we had approximately $0.7 billion available under the 2017 repurchase program. However, the merger agreement with UTC restricts us from repurchasing shares other than to satisfy tax withholding obligations. For more information refer to “Note 2: Proposed Merger with United Technologies Corporation (UTC).”
Share repurchases also include shares surrendered by employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with restricted stock, RSUs and LTPP awards issued to employees.

In March 2019, our Board of Directors authorized an 8.6% increase to our annual dividend payout rate from $3.47 to $3.77 per share. Our Board of Directors declared dividends of $3.77, $3.47 and $3.19 per share in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Dividends are subject to quarterly approval by our Board of Directors.
Note 13: Stock-based Compensation Plans
On May 30, 2019, our stockholders approved the Raytheon 2019 Stock Plan. The 2019 Stock Plan provides for stock-based awards to be issued as restricted stock, RSUs, stock grants, stock options or stock appreciation rights, including awards based on performance criteria. The plan authorizes the issuance of 2.7 million shares in addition to shares remaining available for awards under the Raytheon 2010 Stock Plan as of December 31, 2018. The total maximum number of shares originally authorized for issuance under the 2019 Stock Plan, the 2010 Stock Plan and other prior Raytheon plans is 44.5 million. The 2019 Stock Plan provides that awards to our officers, employees and consultants are generally granted by the Management Development and Compensation Committee (MDCC) of our Board of Directors and are compensatory in nature, while awards to our non-employee directors are granted by the Board’s Governance and Nominating Committee. Shares issued to fulfill the stock-based awards will be funded through the issuance of shares under the 2019 Stock Plan. Each stock-based award is subject to the change in control provision in the related agreement. At December 31, 2019, there were 8.0 million shares available for new awards and 2.8 million shares outstanding under the 2019 Stock Plan, the 2010 Stock Plan and other prior Raytheon plans.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
Shares of restricted stock vest over a specified period of time as determined by the MDCC, generally four years for employee awards and one year for non-employee directors. Recipients of restricted stock are entitled to full dividend and voting rights beginning on the date of grant. Non-vested shares of restricted stock are subject to forfeiture under certain circumstances and restricted as to disposition until vested. At the date of grant, each share of restricted stock is credited to common stock at par value. The fair value of restricted stock is calculated under the intrinsic value method at the date of grant and is charged to income as compensation expense generally over the vesting period with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital.
RSUs also vest over a specified period of time as determined by the MDCC, are compensatory in nature and are primarily awarded to retirement eligible employees. Retirement eligible recipients of RSUs are entitled to full dividend rights beginning on the date of grant. In addition, RSUs granted to retirement eligible employees continue to vest, but do not accelerate, on the scheduled vesting dates into retirement subject to the recipient’s compliance with certain post-employment covenants. Since recipients of RSUs with continued vesting provisions have satisfied the service requirement of the award at the date of grant, the Company recognizes all of the stock-based compensation expense associated with the RSUs awarded to retirement eligible employees in the period the award is granted. The expense is based on the fair value of the RSUs, calculated under the intrinsic value method at the date of grant.

Long-term Performance Plan
In 2004, we established the LTPP, which provides for restricted stock unit awards granted from our stock plans to our senior leadership. Recipients of LTPP awards have no voting rights and receive dividend equivalent units. The vesting of LTPP awards and related dividend equivalent units is based upon the achievement of specific pre-established levels of performance at the end of a three-year performance cycle. In the event of a retirement, vesting for LTPP awards will not accelerate and instead will vest in accordance with the original vesting conditions on a pro-rated basis.
The performance goals for the three outstanding performance cycles at December 31, 2019 are independent of each other and based on three metrics, as defined in the LTPP award agreements: return on invested capital (ROIC), weighted at 50%; total shareholder return (TSR) relative to a peer group, weighted at 25%; and cumulative free cash flow from continuing operations (CFCF), weighted at 25%. The ultimate award, which is determined at the end of the three-year cycle, can range from 0 to 200% of the target award and includes dividend equivalents, which are not included in the aggregate target award numbers.
Compensation expense for the LTPP awards is recognized on a straight-line basis from the grant date through the end of the performance period based upon the value determined under the intrinsic value method for the CFCF and ROIC portions of the LTPP award and the Monte Carlo simulation method for the TSR portion of the LTPP award. Compensation expense for the CFCF and ROIC portions of the awards will be adjusted based upon the expected achievement of those performance goals.
The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo model for the TSR portion of the LTPP awards granted during each year were as follows:

Forcepoint Plans
In 2015, Forcepoint established long-term incentive plans that provide for awards of unit appreciation rights and profits interests in the Forcepoint entity to its management and key employees. Awards are approved by the Board of Forcepoint. These awards vest over a specified period of time and settlement is subject to a liquidity event defined as either a change in control or an initial public offering of the entity. In 2019, Forcepoint issued 11 thousand unit appreciation rights, 8 thousand were forfeited, and 24 thousand were outstanding at December 31, 2019. Also in 2019, Forcepoint issued 37 thousand profits interests, 34 thousand were forfeited, and 119 thousand were outstanding at December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2019, there were 174 thousand and 29 thousand combined unit appreciation rights and/or profits interests authorized and available for issuance, respectively, under these plans. The fair value of the awards is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model and compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period when achievement of the liquidity event is considered probable. In certain limited circumstances other vesting conditions may apply and the impact attributable to these vesting conditions was expense of $13 million in 2019, income of $1 million in 2018 and expense of $13 million in 2017.

Note 14: Pension and Other Employee Benefits
We have pension plans covering the majority of our employees hired prior to January 1, 2007, including certain employees in foreign countries (Pension Benefits). Our primary pension obligations relate to our domestic Internal Revenue Service (IRS) qualified pension plans. In addition, we provide certain health care and life insurance benefits to retired employees and to eligible employees upon retirement through other postretirement benefit (PRB) plans.
The fair value of plan assets for our domestic and foreign Pension Benefits plans was as follows:
|
| | | | | | | |
| (In millions) | 2019 |
| | 2018 |
|
| Domestic Pension Benefits plan | $ | 20,366 |
| | $ | 18,488 |
|
| Foreign Pension Benefits plan | 951 |
| | 833 |
|
We maintain a defined contribution plan that includes a 401(k) plan. Covered employees hired or rehired on or after January 1, 2007 are eligible for a Company contribution based on age and service, instead of participating in our pension plans. These and other covered employees are eligible to contribute up to a specific percentage of their pay to the 401(k) plan, subject to IRS compensation and contribution limits. We match the employee contributions. The match is generally 3% or 4% of the employee’s pay and is invested in the same way as the employee contributions. Total expense for our contributions was $357 million, $326 million and $303 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there was $20.6 billion and $17.0 billion invested in our defined contribution plan, respectively. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $2.1 billion and $1.6 billion of these amounts were invested in our stock fund, respectively.
We also sponsor nonqualified defined benefit and defined contribution plans to provide benefits in excess of qualified plan limits. We have set aside certain assets in separate trusts, which we expect to be used to pay for trust obligations. The fair value of marketable securities held in trusts, which are considered Level 1 assets under the fair value hierarchy, consisted of the following at December 31:
|
| | | | | | | |
| (In millions) | 2019 |

Included in marketable securities held in trusts in the table above was $476 million and $420 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, related to the nonqualified defined contribution plans. The liabilities related to the nonqualified defined contribution plans were $489 million and $431 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
We also maintain additional contractual pension benefits agreements for certain executive officers. The liability associated with such agreements was $39 million and $36 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Contributions and Benefit Payments
We may make both required and discretionary contributions to our pension plans. Required contributions are primarily determined in accordance with the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA), which amended the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) rules, and are affected by the actual return on plan assets (ROA) and plan funded status. The funding requirements under the PPA require us to fully fund our pension plans over a rolling seven-year period as determined annually based upon the funded status at the beginning of the year.
Due to the low interest rate environment, Congress provided for temporary pension funding relief through a provision in the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2012 (STE Act). The provision was extended through 2020 by the Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 (HATFA) and the Bipartisan Budget Act (BBA) of 2015. The provision adjusts the 24-month average high quality corporate bond rates used to determine the PPA funded status so that they are within a floor and cap, or “corridor,” based on the 25-year average of corporate bond rates. Beginning after 2020, the provision will be gradually phased out.
We made the following contributions to our pension and PRB plans during the years ended December 31:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |

We periodically evaluate whether to make additional discretionary contributions. We did 0t make any discretionary pension contributions in 2019. We made a $1.25 billion discretionary pension contribution in third quarter 2018 and elected to apply approximately $1 billion to partially offset required contributions in 2019 and 2020, roughly split evenly between the two years. We expect to make required contributions of approximately $319 million and $50 million to our pension and PRB plans, respectively, in 2020.
The table below reflects the total Pension Benefits expected to be paid from the plans or from our assets, including both our share of the benefit cost and the participants’ share of the cost, which is funded by participant contributions. PRB benefits expected to be paid reflect our portion only.

Net periodic pension expense (income) includes income from foreign Pension Benefits plans of $3 million in 2019, income of $8 million in 2018 and expense of $2 million in 2017.
In July 2018, certain Raytheon-sponsored pension plans purchased a group annuity contract from an insurance company to transfer $923 million of our outstanding pension benefit obligations related to certain U.S. retirees and beneficiaries of our previously discontinued operations. As a result of the transaction, the insurance company is now required to pay and administer the retirement benefits owed to the approximately 13,000 U.S. retirees and beneficiaries, with no change to their monthly retirement benefit payment amounts. In connection with this transaction, in the third quarter of 2018 we recognized a non-cash pension settlement charge of $288 million before tax, $228 million net of tax, in non-operating (income) expense, net, primarily related to the accelerated recognition of actuarial losses included in AOCL for those plans.

Our long-term return on plan assets (ROA) and discount rate assumptions are the key variables in determining the net periodic benefit cost and the pension benefit obligation of our pension plans under U.S. GAAP. Our long-term ROA assumption only impacts the retirement benefits non-service expense. The discount rate assumption impacts the service cost component of FAS expense and retirement benefits non-service expense, while also impacting the pension benefit obligation.
The discount rate represents the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of future cash flows currently expected to be required to settle our pension and PRB obligations. The discount rate assumption is determined by using a theoretical bond portfolio model consisting of bonds rated AA or better by Moody’s Investors Service for which the timing and amount of cash flows approximate the estimated benefit payments for each of our pension plans. The weighted-average year-end benefit obligation discount rate for our domestic Pension Benefits plans was 3.29% and 4.33% at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Our foreign Pension Benefits plan assumptions have been included in the Pension Benefits assumptions in the table above.
The long-term ROA represents the average rate of earnings expected over the long term on the assets invested to provide for anticipated future benefit payment obligations. The long-term ROA used to calculate net periodic pension cost is set annually at the beginning of each year. Given the long-term nature of the ROA assumption, which we believe should not be solely reactive to short-term market conditions that may not persist, we expect the long-term ROA to remain unchanged unless there are significant changes in our investment strategy, the underlying economic assumptions or other major factors.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
To establish our long-term ROA assumption we employ a “building block” approach. Under this building block method, the overall expected investment return equals the weighted-average of the individual expected return for each asset class based on the target asset allocation and the long-term capital market assumptions. The expected return for each asset class is composed of inflation plus a risk-free rate of return, plus an expected risk premium for that asset class. The resulting return is then adjusted for administrative, investment management and trading expenses as well as recognition of excess returns, also known as alpha, for active management. We then annually consider whether it is appropriate to change our long-term ROA assumption by reviewing the existing assumption against a statistically determined reasonable range of outcomes. The building block approach and the reasonable range of outcomes are based upon our asset allocation assumptions and long-term capital market assumptions. Such assumptions incorporate the economic outlook for various asset classes over short- and long-term periods and also take into consideration other factors, including historical market performance, inflation and interest rates.
Actuarial Standard of Practice No. 27, Selection of Economic Assumptions for Measuring Pension Obligations (ASOP 27) requires the selection of a reasonable long-term ROA assumption that considers multiple criteria including the purposes of measurement, the actuary’s professional judgment, historical and current economic data and estimates of future experience and has no significant bias. We evaluate our long-term ROA assumption against a reasonable range of possible outcomes which we define as between the 35th to 65th percentile likelihood of achieving a long-term return over future years. We believe that validating our ROA assumption within this reasonable range ensures an unbiased result while also ensuring that the ROA assumption is not solely reactive to short-term market conditions that may not persist, and is consistent with external actuarial practices.
The reasonable range of long-term returns that was used to validate the long-term ROA assumption for the calculation of the net periodic benefit cost for 2019, 2018 and 2017 is shown below.
|
| | | | | | | | |
| Percentile | 2019 |
| | 2018 |
| | 2017 |
|
35th | 5.49 | % | | 5.67 | % | | 5.82 | % |
65th | 7.57 | % | | 7.81 | % | | 7.96 | % |
2017 ROA Assumption—At year end 2016, we determined that the 8.0% long-term ROA assumption no longer fell within the range of reasonable outcomes, driven primarily by the current outlook on economic assumptions used to develop the reasonable range. As a result, we employed the building block approach described above to develop our 2017 long-term ROA assumption. The building block approach resulted in a long-term ROA assumption of 7.5% for 2017. To validate this assumption, we compared the result against the reasonable range of outcomes and confirmed that the 7.5% fell between the 55th and 60th percentile of the reasonable range for 2017 with the 50th percentile at 6.89%.
Based upon our application of the building block approach and our review of the resulting assumption against the 35th to 65th percentile reasonable range and an analysis of our historical results, we established a 2017 long-term ROA domestic assumption of 7.5% for purposes of determining the net periodic benefit cost for 2017 and determined that the assumption is reasonable and consistent with the provisions of ASOP 27.
2018 ROA Assumption—The long-term domestic ROA of 7.5% fell between the 60th and 65th percentiles of the applicable reasonable range for 2018. The 50th percentile of this reasonable range was 6.74%.
2019 ROA Assumption—The long-term domestic ROA of 7.5% fell between the 60th and 65th percentiles of the applicable reasonable range for 2019. The 50th percentile of this reasonable range was 6.53%.
Our domestic pension plans’ actual rates of return were approximately 19%, (4)% and 15% for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The difference between the actual rate of return and our long-term ROA assumption is included in deferred gains and losses.
The long-term ROA assumptions for our foreign Pension Benefits plans are based on the asset allocations and the economic environment prevailing in the locations where the Pension Benefits plans reside. Foreign pension assets do not make up a significant portion of the total assets for all of our Pension Benefits plans.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
For purposes of determining pension expense under U.S. GAAP, a “corridor” approach may be elected and applied in the recognition of asset and liability gains or losses which limits expense recognition to the net outstanding gains and losses in excess of the greater of 10% of the projected benefit obligation (PBO) or the calculated “market-related value” of assets. We do not use a “corridor” approach in the calculation of FAS pension expense.
The effect of a 1% increase or decrease in the assumed health care trend rate for each future year on total service cost and interest cost is less than a $1 million increase or decrease and on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation is a $4 million increase or decrease.
Plan Assets
Substantially all our domestic Pension Benefits Plan (Plan) assets, which consist of investments in cash and cash equivalents, U.S. and international equities, real assets, private equity funds, private real estate funds, fixed income and other investments such as absolute return funds, insurance contracts and derivatives, are held in a master trust, which was established for the investment of assets of our Company-sponsored retirement plans. The assets of the master trust are overseen by our Investment Committee comprised of members of senior management drawn from appropriate diversified levels of the executive management team.
The Investment Committee is responsible for setting the policy that provides the framework for management of the Plan assets. In accordance with its responsibilities and charter, the Investment Committee meets on a regular basis to review the performance of the Plan assets and compliance with the investment policy. The policy sets forth an investment structure for managing Plan assets, including setting the asset allocation ranges, which are expected to provide an appropriate level of overall diversification and total investment return over the long term while maintaining sufficient liquidity to pay the benefits of the Plan. In developing the asset allocation ranges, third-party asset allocation and liability studies are periodically performed that consider the current and expected positions of the Plan assets and funded status. Based on these studies and other appropriate information, the Investment Committee establishes asset allocation ranges taking into account acceptable risk targets and associated returns.
The investment policy asset allocation ranges for the Plan, as set by the Investment Committee, for the year ended December 31, 2019 were as follows:
|
| |
| Asset Category | |
| Global equity (combined U.S. and international equity) | 30%-60% |
| U.S. equities | 20%-35% |
| International equities | 10%-25% |
| Fixed income | 20%-45% |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 0%-10% |
| Private equity and private real estate funds | 10%-20% |
| Real assets | 0%-4% |
| Other (including absolute return funds) | 5%-15% |
The Investment Committee appoints the investment fiduciary, who is responsible for making investment decisions within the framework of the Investment Policy, for setting the long-term target allocation within the investment policy asset allocation ranges and for supervising the internal pension investment team. The pension investment team is comprised of experienced investment professionals, who are all employees of the Company. The investment fiduciary reports back to the Investment Committee. The investment fiduciary may seek authorization from the Investment Committee to change the asset allocation ranges with a focus on managing the Plan in a prudent manner.
Taking into account the asset allocation ranges, the investment fiduciary determines the specific allocation of the Plan’s investments within various asset classes. The Plan utilizes select investment strategies which are executed through separate account or fund structures with external investment managers who demonstrate experience and expertise in the appropriate asset classes and styles. The selection of investment managers is done with careful evaluation of all aspects of performance and risk, due diligence of internal operations and controls, reputation, systems evaluation, fees and a review of investment
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
managers’ policies and processes. Investment performance is monitored frequently against appropriate benchmarks and within a compliance framework with the assistance of third-party performance measurement and evaluation tools, analytics and metrics.
Consistent with managing the Plan in a prudent manner, multiple investment strategies are employed to diversify risk such that no single investment or manager holding represents a significant exposure to the total investment portfolio. Plan assets are invested in numerous strategies with the intent to build a diversified portfolio. Plan assets can be invested in funds that track an index and are designed to achieve broad market diversification. The Plan had $4.6 billion invested in such funds across seven indices as of December 31, 2019. Excluding funds that track an index, no individual investment strategy represented more than 5% of the Plan as of December 31, 2019. Further, within each separate account strategy, guidelines are established which set forth the list of authorized investments, the typical portfolio characteristics and diversification required by limiting the amount that can be invested by sector, country and issuer.
The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Investments in equity securities are valued at the last reported sales price when an active market exists. Investments in fixed income securities are generally valued using methods based upon market transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional market participants. Investments in funds are estimated at fair market value, which primarily utilizes net asset values reported by the investment manager or fund administrator. We review additional valuation and pricing information from fund managers, including audited financial statements, to evaluate the net asset values.

The Plan limits the use of derivatives through direct or separate account investments such that the derivatives used are liquid and able to be readily valued in the market. Derivative usage in separate account structures is limited to hedging or adjusting market exposure in a non-speculative manner. The fair market value of the Plan’s derivatives through direct or separate account investments was approximately $(8) million and $6 million as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
In addition, assets are held in trust for non-U.S. Pension Benefits plans, primarily in the U.K. and Canada, which are governed in accordance with specific jurisdictional requirements. Investments in the non-U.S. Pension Benefits plans consist primarily of fixed income and equities and had a fair market value of $951 million and $833 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Investments with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are immaterial in the non-U.S. Pension Benefits plans.
The fair market value of assets related to our PRB Benefits was $324 million and $300 million as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. These assets included $144 million and $141 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which were invested in the master trust described above and are therefore invested in the same assets described above. The remaining investments are held within Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trusts. The assets of the VEBA trusts are also overseen by the Investment Committee and managed by the same investment fiduciary that manages the master trust’s investments. These assets are generally invested in mutual funds and are valued primarily using quoted prices in active markets (Level 1).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
In the fourth quarter of 2018, Forcepoint completed an Irish restructuring transaction resulting in a deferred tax asset of approximately $63 million. We have evaluated both the positive and negative evidence to support our ability to realize the deferred tax asset associated with the restructuring. We believe it is more likely than not that the benefit from this restructuring transaction will not be realized. Accordingly, we provided a valuation allowance of $63 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 on the deferred tax asset related to this transaction.
In the third quarter of 2018, the Company recognized a net tax benefit of $110 million related to the completion of the 2017 tax return and additional amended R&D tax credit claims related to the 2014–2016 tax years.
Also in the third quarter of 2018, we made a discretionary contribution to our pension plans of $1.25 billion. In the second quarter of 2018, we determined we would make this contribution and as a result recorded a net tax benefit of $95 million in the second quarter of 2018. This was primarily due to the remeasurement of the related deferred tax asset balance at the 2017 tax rate of 35% versus the 2018 tax rate of 21% since the discretionary contribution was deductible on our 2017 tax return.
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. All IRS examinations related to originally filed returns are closed through the 2016 tax year. In 2018, we amended tax returns for tax years 2014–2016 to reflect refund claims related to increased R&D tax credits, which will be subject to audit. We are also under audit by multiple state and foreign tax authorities.

We will generally be free of additional U.S. federal tax consequences on distributed foreign subsidiary earnings due to a dividends received deduction implemented as part of the move to a territorial tax system for earnings distributed after January 1, 2018. We provide for foreign withholding taxes to the extent applicable to distributions of foreign earnings. We continue to assert indefinite reinvestment on outside basis differences generated on or before December 31, 2017. No provision has been made for U.S. deferred taxes related to any remaining historical outside basis differences in our non-U.S. subsidiaries. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability on outside basis differences is not practicable because these differences primarily relate to non-earnings and profits (E&P) book tax differences, such as acquisition accounting, and could be recognized upon a sale or other transactions of a subsidiary.
We made (received) the following net tax payments (refunds) during the years ended December 31:

We believe that our income tax reserves are adequate; however, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater or less than amounts accrued and reflected in our consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, we could record adjustments to the amounts for federal, foreign and state tax-related liabilities in the future as we revise estimates or as we settle or otherwise resolve the underlying matters. In the ordinary course of business, we may take new positions that could increase or decrease our unrecognized tax benefits in future periods.
The balance of our unrecognized tax benefits, exclusive of interest, was $227 million and $92 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, the majority of which would affect our earnings if recognized. The increase in the balance of our unrecognized tax benefits is related to positions taken on state tax returns.
We accrue interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. Interest and penalties recognized during 2019, 2018 and 2017 and accrued as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were de minimis.

With the exception of Forcepoint, we generally defer our state income tax expense to the extent we can recover this expense through the pricing of our products and services to the U.S. government. We include this deferred amount in prepaid expenses and other current assets until allocated to our contracts, which generally occurs upon payment or when otherwise agreed as allocable with the U.S. government. Current state income tax expense allocated to our contracts was $31 million, $18 million and $32 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We include state income tax expense allocated to our contracts in administrative and selling expenses.

As of December 31, 2019, we had U.S. federal, foreign and state net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards related to Forcepoint of $106 million, $67 million and $285 million, respectively, which expire at various dates through 2037. We believe it is more likely than not that the majority of the deferred tax asset will be realized to the extent of existing deferred tax liabilities.
We also had foreign NOL carryforwards unrelated to Forcepoint of $87 million as of December 31, 2019, of which the majority may be carried forward indefinitely. The NOL carryforwards are primarily generated in the U.K., France, Saudi Arabia, and Guam. We have sufficient taxable income to realize these deferred tax assets in the U.K.; however, we believe it is more likely than not that the benefit from the foreign NOL carryforwards in France, Saudi Arabia and Guam will not be realized and provided a valuation allowance of $18 million related to these deferred tax assets. The total valuation allowance recorded in 2019 related to NOL carryforwards was $14 million.
As of December 31, 2019, we also had state tax credit carryforwards of $336 million, of which $326 million expire at various dates through 2039 and $10 million may be carried forward indefinitely. We believe it is more likely than not that the benefit from the majority of these state tax credit carryforwards will not be realized and have provided a valuation allowance of
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
$241 million on the deferred tax asset related to these carryforwards in 2019, which was recorded through administrative and selling expenses. If or when recognized, the tax benefits related to any reversal of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2019, will be recognized through administrative and selling expenses as these benefits can generally be recovered through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. government in the period in which the credit is utilized.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
On December 22, 2017, the President signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (2017 Act) which enacted a wide range of changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system. The 2017 Act reduced the U.S. corporate statutory federal tax rate to 21% effective in 2018, eliminated the domestic manufacturing deduction benefit and introduced other tax base broadening measures, changed rules for expensing and capitalizing business expenditures, established a territorial tax system for foreign earnings as well as a minimum tax on certain foreign earnings, provided for a one-time transition tax on previously undistributed foreign earnings, and introduced new rules for the treatment of certain foreign income, including FDII.
Also on December 22, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118), which provided companies with additional guidance on how to account for the 2017 Act in their financial statements, allowing companies to use a measurement period. As of December 31, 2017, we made a reasonable estimate of the effects on our existing deferred tax balances to reflect the new 21% corporate income tax rate under the 2017 Act and the one-time transition tax on previously undistributed foreign earnings and recognized provisional amounts totaling $171 million in accordance with SAB 118, which was included as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations. As of December 31, 2018, we had finalized our provisional estimates for the remeasurement of our existing U.S. deferred tax balances and the one-time transition tax for which we recorded a $1 million tax benefit in 2018.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities—At the date of enactment, the Company had a net deferred tax asset for the difference between the tax basis and the book basis of the U.S. assets and liabilities. Due to the 2017 Act, the future impact associated with the reversal of the net deferred tax asset will be subject to tax at a lower corporate tax rate. Consequently in 2017, we recorded a tax expense of $100 million to reduce the Company’s deferred tax asset due to the remeasurement of the U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities for the reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. At December 31, 2018, we finalized our provisional estimate for the remeasurement of our existing deferred tax balances with no additional adjustment.
Transition tax—The one-time transition tax is based on our total post-1986 E&P for which we have previously deferred U.S. income taxes. In 2017, we recorded a provisional amount for our one-time transition tax liability, using an applicable tax rate of 15.5%, resulting in an increase in income tax expense of $71 million after accounting for foreign tax credits. In 2018, we recorded a $1 million tax benefit to finalize our provisional calculation for the one-time transition tax for foreign E&P. This refinement was a result of completing the data gathering and analysis based on the 2017 Act and guidance issued to date in 2018, including IRS Notices 2018-07, 2018-13 and 2018-26. No provision has been made for deferred taxes related to any remaining historical outside basis differences in our non-U.S. subsidiaries as we continue to assert indefinite reinvestment on outside basis differences not related to amounts that have been previously taxed in the U.S. or undistributed earnings generated after December 31, 2017.
In addition to the changes described above, the 2017 Act imposes a U.S. tax on global intangible low taxed income (GILTI) that is earned by certain foreign affiliates owned by a U.S. shareholder. The computation of GILTI is generally intended to impose tax on the earnings of a foreign corporation that are deemed to exceed a certain threshold return relative to the underlying business investment. The Company made a policy election to treat future taxes related to GILTI as a current period expense in the reporting period in which the tax is incurred.

We must calculate our pension and PRB costs under both FAS requirements under U.S. GAAP and CAS requirements. U.S. GAAP outlines the methodology used to determine pension expense or income for financial reporting purposes, which is not indicative of the funding requirements for pension and PRB plans that we determine by other factors. CAS prescribes the allocation to and recovery of pension and PRB costs on U.S. government contracts. The results of each segment only include pension and PRB expense as determined under CAS. The CAS requirements for pension costs and its calculation methodology differ from the FAS requirements and calculation methodology. As a result, while both FAS and CAS use long-term assumptions in their calculation methodologies, each method results in different calculated amounts of pension and PRB costs. Our FAS expense is split between operating income and non-operating income where only the service cost component of FAS expense is included in operating income. The FAS/CAS Operating Adjustment, which is reported as a separate line in our segment results above, represents the difference between the service cost component of our pension and PRB expense or income under FAS in accordance with U.S. GAAP and our pension and PRB expense under CAS.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management has conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a–15(e) and 15d–15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2019.
Conclusion of Evaluation—Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2019 were effective.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls—In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any control, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
Evaluation of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting—Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting is set forth in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm—The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is set forth in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting—There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2019 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

| (1) | This amount includes 762,072 shares, which is the aggregate of the actual number of shares that will be issued pursuant to the 2017 Long-term Performance Plan (LTPP) awards and the maximum number of shares that may be issued upon settlement of outstanding 2018 and 2019 LTPP awards, including estimated dividend equivalent amounts. The shares to be issued pursuant to the 2017, 2018 and 2019 LTPP awards will be issued under the Raytheon 2019 Stock Plan. The material terms of the 2017, 2018 and 2019 LTPP awards are described in more detail in “Note 13: Stock-based Compensation Plans” within Item 8 of this Form 10-K. These awards are granted as restricted stock units (RSUs) and though generally settled in stock, may be settled in cash, stock or a combination of both cash and stock at the discretion of the Management Development and Compensation Committee (MDCC). |
This amount also includes 533,522 shares that may be issued upon settlement of RSUs, generally issued to retirement-eligible and non-U.S. employees. The shares to be issued in settlement of the RSUs will be issued under the 2019 Stock Plan. The RSUs generally vest one-third per year on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant.
