INFORMATION ON BUSINESS SEGMENTS | INFORMATION ON BUSINESS SEGMENTS We operate in four business segments: Aeronautics, Missiles and Fire Control (MFC), Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS) and Space. We organize our business segments based on the nature of the products and services offered. Net sales and operating profit of our business segments exclude intersegment sales and cost of sales as these activities are eliminated in consolidation. Business segment operating profit includes our share of earnings or losses from equity method investees as the operating activities of the equity method investees are closely aligned with the operations of our business segments. Business segment operating profit also includes total pension and other postretirement benefit plan costs recoverable on U.S. Government contracts as determined in accordance with U.S. Government cost accounting standards (CAS). However, our financial statements must present total costs calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) under U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the adjustment from CAS cost to FAS service cost for our postretirement benefit plans is excluded from business segment operating profit (see additional discussion below). Business segment operating profit also excludes expense for stock-based compensation, corporate costs not considered allocable under FAR, and the effects of items not considered part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance. Excluded items are included in the reconciling item “Unallocated items” between operating profit from our business segments and our consolidated operating profit. See “ Note 11 – Other ” for a discussion related to certain factors that may impact the comparability of net sales and operating profit of our business segments. Summary operating results for each of our business segments were as follows (in millions): Quarters Ended March 31, March 25, Net sales Aeronautics $ 5,584 $ 4,398 Missiles and Fire Control 2,350 1,677 Rotary and Mission Systems 3,762 3,223 Space 2,640 2,337 Total net sales $ 14,336 $ 11,635 Operating profit Aeronautics $ 585 $ 474 Missiles and Fire Control 417 261 Rotary and Mission Systems 379 311 Space 334 264 Total business segment operating profit 1,715 1,310 Unallocated items FAS/CAS operating adjustment (a) 512 451 Stock-based compensation (37 ) (38 ) Other, net 93 2 Total unallocated items 568 415 Total consolidated operating profit $ 2,283 $ 1,725 Intersegment sales Aeronautics $ 42 $ 25 Missiles and Fire Control 121 95 Rotary and Mission Systems 580 461 Space 68 45 Total intersegment sales $ 811 $ 626 (a) The FAS/CAS operating adjustment represents the difference between the service cost component of FAS pension expense and total pension costs recoverable on U.S. Government contracts as determined in accordance with CAS. Our total net FAS/CAS pension adjustment for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and March 25, 2018 , including the service and non-service cost components of FAS pension expense for our qualified defined benefit pension plans, were as follows (in millions): Quarters Ended March 31, March 25, Total FAS expense and CAS costs FAS pension expense $ (273 ) $ (356 ) Less: CAS pension cost 641 608 Net FAS/CAS pension adjustment $ 368 $ 252 Service and non-service cost reconciliation FAS pension service cost $ (129 ) $ (157 ) Less: CAS pension cost 641 608 FAS/CAS operating adjustment 512 451 Non-operating FAS pension cost (a) (144 ) (199 ) Net FAS/CAS pension adjustment $ 368 $ 252 (a) The non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost relate only to our qualified defined benefit pension plans. In addition to the non service cost components in the table above, we incurred similar costs for our other postretirement benefit plans of $30 million and $17 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and March 25, 2018 . We recover CAS pension and other postretirement benefit plan cost through the pricing of our products and services on U.S. Government contracts and, therefore, recognize CAS cost in each of our business segment’s net sales and cost of sales. Our consolidated financial statements must present FAS pension and other postretirement benefit plan expense calculated in accordance with FAS requirements under U.S. GAAP. The operating portion of the net FAS/CAS pension adjustment represents the difference between the service cost component of FAS pension expense and total CAS pension cost. The non-service FAS pension cost component is included in other non-operating expense, net in our consolidated statements of earnings. The net FAS/CAS pension adjustment increases or decreases CAS pension cost to equal total FAS pension cost (both service and non-service).
