Information on Business Segments | Information on Business Segments We operate in four business segments: Aeronautics, MFC, RMS and Space. We organize our business segments based on the nature of products and services offered. Following is a brief description of the activities of our business segments: • Aeronautics – Engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, sustainment, support and upgrade of advanced military aircraft, including combat and air mobility aircraft, unmanned air vehicles and related technologies. • Missiles and Fire Control – Provides air and missile defense systems; tactical missiles and air-to-ground precision strike weapon systems; logistics; fire control systems; mission operations support, readiness, engineering support and integration services; manned and unmanned ground vehicles; and energy management solutions. • Rotary and Mission Systems – Designs, manufactures, services and supports various military and commercial helicopters, surface ships, sea and land-based missile defense systems, radar systems, sea and air-based mission and combat systems, command and control mission solutions, cyber solutions, and simulation and training solutions. • Space – Engaged in the research and development, design, engineering and production of satellites, space transportation systems, and strategic, advanced strike, and defensive systems. Space provides network-enabled situational awareness and integrates complex space and ground global systems to help our customers gather, analyze and securely distribute critical intelligence data. Space is also responsible for various classified systems and services in support of vital national security systems. Operating profit for our Space business segment also includes our share of earnings for our 50% ownership interest in ULA, which provides expendable launch services to the U.S. Government. Our investment in ULA totaled $691 million and $709 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019. Net sales of our business segments in the following tables exclude intersegment sales as these activities are eliminated in consolidation. Operating profit of our business segments 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. ULA, results of which are included in our Space business segment, is our primary equity method investee. Operating profit of our business segments excludes the FAS/CAS operating adjustment for our qualified defined benefit pension plans (described below); the adjustment from CAS to FAS service cost component for all other postretirement benefit plans; expense for stock-based compensation; the effects of items not considered part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance, such as charges related to significant severance and restructuring actions and goodwill impairments; gains or losses from significant divestitures; the effects of certain legal settlements; corporate costs not allocated to our business segments; and other miscellaneous corporate activities. These items are included in the reconciling item “Unallocated items” between operating profit from our business segments and our consolidated operating profit. See “Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies” (under the caption “Use of Estimates”) for a discussion related to certain factors that may impact the comparability of net sales and operating profit of our business segments. Our business segments’ results of operations include pension expense only as calculated under U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), which we refer to as CAS pension cost. We recover CAS pension cost through the pricing of our products and services on U.S. Government contracts and, therefore, the CAS pension cost is recognized in each of our business segments’ net sales and cost of sales. Our consolidated operating profit in our consolidated financial statements must present the service cost component of 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 operating adjustment represents the difference between the service cost component of FAS pension expense and the CAS pension cost recorded in our business segments’ results of operations. The non-service FAS pension and other postretirement benefit plan cost component is included in other non-operating expenses, net on our consolidated statement of earnings. Selected Financial Data by Business Segment Summary operating results for each of our business segments were as follows (in millions): 2020 2019 2018 Net sales Aeronautics $ 26,266 $ 23,693 $ 21,242 Missiles and Fire Control 11,257 10,131 8,462 Rotary and Mission Systems 15,995 15,128 14,250 Space 11,880 10,860 9,808 Total net sales $ 65,398 $ 59,812 $ 53,762 Operating profit Aeronautics $ 2,843 $ 2,521 $ 2,272 Missiles and Fire Control 1,545 1,441 1,248 Rotary and Mission Systems 1,615 1,421 1,302 Space 1,149 1,191 1,055 Total business segment operating profit 7,152 6,574 5,877 Unallocated items FAS/CAS operating adjustment (a) 1,876 2,049 1,803 Stock-based compensation (221) (189) (173) Severance and restructuring charges (b) (27) — (96) Other, net (c) (136) 111 (77) Total unallocated, net 1,492 1,971 1,457 Total consolidated operating profit $ 8,644 $ 8,545 $ 7,334 (a) The FAS/CAS operating adjustment represents the difference between the service cost component of FAS pension income (expense) and total pension costs recoverable on U.S. Government contracts as determined in accordance with CAS. For a detail of the FAS/CAS operating adjustment and the total net FAS/CAS pension adjustment, see the table below. (b) See “Note 16 – Severance Charges” discussion for information on charges related to certain severance actions across our organization. (c) Other, net in 2020 includes a non-cash impairment charge of $128 million recognized in the second quarter of 2020 on our investment in the international equity method investee, AMMROC, which decreased net earnings from continuing operations by $96 million. Other, net in 2019 includes a previously deferred non-cash gain of $51 million related to properties sold in 2015 as a result of completing our remaining obligations and a gain of $34 million for the sale of its Distributed Energy Solutions business. Other, net in 2018 includes a non-cash asset impairment charge of $110 million related to our equity method investee, AMMROC (see “Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies”). Total net FAS/CAS pension adjustments, including the service and non-service cost components of FAS pension income (expense), were as follows (in millions): 2020 2019 2018 Total FAS income (expense) and CAS costs FAS pension income (expense) $ 118 $ (1,093) $ (1,431) Less: CAS pension cost 1,977 2,565 2,433 Net FAS/CAS pension adjustment $ 2,095 $ 1,472 $ 1,002 Service and non-service cost reconciliation FAS pension service cost $ (101) $ (516) $ (630) Less: CAS pension cost 1,977 2,565 2,433 FAS/CAS operating adjustment 1,876 2,049 1,803 Non-operating FAS pension income (expense) 219 (577) (801) Net FAS/CAS pension adjustment $ 2,095 $ 1,472 $ 1,002 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 income (expense) and total CAS pension cost. The non-service FAS pension income (expense) component is included in other non-operating income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of earnings. As a result, to the extent that CAS pension cost exceeds the service cost component of FAS pension income (expense), we have a favorable FAS/CAS operating adjustment. 2020 2019 2018 Intersegment sales Aeronautics $ 243 $ 217 $ 120 Missiles and Fire Control 562 515 423 Rotary and Mission Systems 1,903 1,872 1,759 Space 377 352 237 Total intersegment sales $ 3,085 $ 2,956 $ 2,539 Depreciation and amortization Aeronautics $ 348 $ 318 $ 304 Missiles and Fire Control 138 124 105 Rotary and Mission Systems 476 464 458 Space 219 213 229 Total business segment depreciation and amortization 1,181 1,119 1,096 Corporate activities 109 70 65 Total depreciation and amortization $ 1,290 $ 1,189 $ 1,161 Capital expenditures Aeronautics $ 534 $ 526 $ 460 Missiles and Fire Control 391 300 244 Rotary and Mission Systems 311 272 255 Space 403 258 255 Total business segment capital expenditures 1,639 1,356 1,214 Corporate activities 127 128 64 Total capital expenditures $ 1,766 $ 1,484 $ 1,278 Net Sales by Type Net sales by total products and services, contract type, customer category and geographic region for each of our business segments were as follows (in millions): 2020 Aeronautics MFC RMS Space Total Net sales Products $ 22,327 $ 9,804 $ 12,748 $ 10,049 $ 54,928 Services 3,939 1,453 3,247 1,831 10,470 Total net sales $ 26,266 $ 11,257 $ 15,995 $ 11,880 $ 65,398 Net sales by contract type Fixed-price $ 18,477 $ 7,587 $ 10,795 $ 2,247 $ 39,106 Cost-reimbursable 7,789 3,670 5,200 9,633 26,292 Total net sales $ 26,266 $ 11,257 $ 15,995 $ 11,880 $ 65,398 Net sales by customer U.S. Government $ 18,175 $ 8,404 $ 11,596 $ 10,293 $ 48,468 International (a) 8,012 2,842 3,986 1,546 16,386 U.S. commercial and other 79 11 413 41 544 Total net sales $ 26,266 $ 11,257 $ 15,995 $ 11,880 $ 65,398 Net sales by geographic region United States $ 18,254 $ 8,415 $ 12,009 $ 10,334 $ 49,012 Asia Pacific 3,162 280 1,666 68 5,176 Europe 3,283 767 806 1,478 6,334 Middle East 1,344 1,749 847 — 3,940 Other 223 46 667 — 936 Total net sales $ 26,266 $ 11,257 $ 15,995 $ 11,880 $ 65,398 2019 Aeronautics MFC RMS Space Total Net sales Products $ 20,319 $ 8,424 $ 12,206 $ 9,104 $ 50,053 Services 3,374 1,707 2,922 1,756 9,759 Total net sales $ 23,693 $ 10,131 $ 15,128 $ 10,860 $ 59,812 Net sales by contract type Fixed-price $ 17,239 $ 6,449 $ 10,382 $ 2,135 $ 36,205 Cost-reimbursable 6,454 3,682 4,746 8,725 23,607 Total net sales $ 23,693 $ 10,131 $ 15,128 $ 10,860 $ 59,812 Net sales by customer U.S. Government $ 14,776 $ 7,524 $ 10,803 $ 9,322 $ 42,425 International (a) 8,733 2,465 3,822 1,511 16,531 U.S. commercial and other 184 142 503 27 856 Total net sales $ 23,693 $ 10,131 $ 15,128 $ 10,860 $ 59,812 Net sales by geographic region United States $ 14,960 $ 7,666 $ 11,306 $ 9,349 $ 43,281 Asia Pacific 3,882 420 1,451 73 5,826 Europe 3,224 516 769 1,419 5,928 Middle East 1,465 1,481 979 19 3,944 Other 162 48 623 — 833 Total net sales $ 23,693 $ 10,131 $ 15,128 $ 10,860 $ 59,812 (a) International sales include FMS contracted through the U.S. Government, direct commercial sales with international governments and commercial and other sales to international customers. 2018 Aeronautics MFC RMS Space Total Net sales Products $ 18,207 $ 6,945 $ 11,714 $ 8,139 $ 45,005 Services 3,035 1,517 2,536 1,669 8,757 Total net sales $ 21,242 $ 8,462 $ 14,250 $ 9,808 $ 53,762 Net sales by contract type Fixed-price $ 15,719 $ 5,653 $ 9,975 $ 1,892 $ 33,239 Cost-reimbursable 5,523 2,809 4,275 7,916 20,523 Total net sales $ 21,242 $ 8,462 $ 14,250 $ 9,808 $ 53,762 Net sales by customer U.S. Government $ 13,321 $ 6,088 $ 10,083 $ 8,224 $ 37,716 International (a) 7,735 2,190 3,693 1,538 15,156 U.S. commercial and other 186 184 474 46 890 Total net sales $ 21,242 $ 8,462 $ 14,250 $ 9,808 $ 53,762 Net sales by geographic region United States $ 13,507 $ 6,272 $ 10,557 $ 8,270 $ 38,606 Asia Pacific 3,335 427 1,433 85 5,280 Europe 2,837 321 829 1,416 5,403 Middle East 1,380 1,404 781 37 3,602 Other 183 38 650 — 871 Total net sales $ 21,242 $ 8,462 $ 14,250 $ 9,808 $ 53,762 (a) International sales include FMS contracted through the U.S. Government, direct commercial sales with international governments and commercial and other sales to international customers.
