Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2005
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Lockheed Martin Corporation (Lockheed Martin or the Corporation) has continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in the consolidated financial statements included in its 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the opinion of management, the interim financial information provided herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. Certain amounts presented for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the 2005 presentation.
NOTE 2 – EARNINGS PER SHARE AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Reported and pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share in the table below were computed based on the respective reported and pro forma net earnings amounts for the periods presented. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period was used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. The weighted average number of common shares used in the calculation of diluted per share amounts is adjusted for the dilutive effects of stock options based on the treasury stock method. Unless otherwise noted, all per share amounts cited in these financial statements are presented on a “per diluted share” basis.
The Corporation measures compensation cost for stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method of accounting as prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. The Corporation has adopted those provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which require disclosure of the pro forma effects on net earnings and earnings per share as if compensation cost had been recognized based upon the fair value-based method at the date of grant for options awarded.
Options granted under the Corporation’s employee stock option plans have 10-year terms and vest over two-year to three-year service periods. Upon retirement, the Corporation’s stock option award agreements allow employees to retain all stock option awards held through the initial vesting date prior to retirement, and to continue vesting in the award as if their employment had continued. Effective January 2005, the Corporation measures fair value-based, pro forma compensation expense for footnote disclosure purposes based on whether stock option recipients are retirement eligible following the annual grant of the awards. Such compensation expense for active, retirement eligible employees will now be recognized over one year, and for active, non-retirement eligible employees, over the vesting period of the award. Prior to 2005, the Corporation recognized fair value-based, pro forma compensation expense for inclusion in its footnote disclosures over the original two-year or three-year vesting periods of each award for all employees, including those eligible to retire.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
The March 31, 2005 pro forma disclosures set forth below include $33 million ($0.08 per share) as an inception-to-date adjustment of fair value-based, pro forma compensation expense for retirement eligible employees with outstanding and unvested 2004 and 2003 stock option awards, to reflect the service period as one year rather than the three year vesting period.
The Corporation’s reported and pro forma earnings per share information follows:

(1) | For the 2005 period, the fair value-based, pro forma compensation expense includes amounts for employees with outstanding 2005 stock option awards, including those who are retirement eligible, and amounts for employees with outstanding and unvested 2004 and 2003 stock option awards who are not eligible for retirement. For the 2004 period, the fair value-based, pro forma compensation expense includes amounts for employees with outstanding and unvested 2004, 2003 and 2002 stock option awards over the original vesting periods, without regard to retirement eligibility. |
(2) | Represents the inception-to-date adjustment of fair value-based, pro forma compensation expense for retirement eligible employees with outstanding and unvested 2004 and 2003 stock option awards to reflect the service period as one year, rather than the original three year vesting period. |
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FAS 123(R),Share-Based Payments, that, upon implementation, will impact the Corporation’s net earnings and earnings per share, and change the classification of certain elements of the statement of cash flows. FAS 123(R) requires stock options and other share-based payments made to employees to be accounted for as compensation expense and recorded at fair value, and to reflect the related excess tax benefit received upon exercise of the options, if any, in the statement of cash flows as a financing activity inflow rather than an adjustment of operating activity as currently presented. In April 2005, the SEC adopted a new rule which defers the compliance date of FAS 123(R) until 2006 for calendar year companies such as the Corporation. Consistent with the new rule, the Corporation intends to adopt FAS 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006, and to implement the standard on a prospective basis. The Corporation is continuing to analyze and assess a number of technical implementation issues relating to adoption of the standard, including the selection and use of an appropriate valuation model, and therefore the ultimate impact of adopting FAS 123(R) is not yet known.

In 2005, the Corporation’s required contributions are $70 million - $80 million for its defined benefit plan pension trust and $180 million - $190 million for its retiree medical and life insurance plans, after giving consideration to the 2004 prepayments. Contributions for the first quarter of 2005 were not material.

NOTE 5 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Corporation or its subsidiaries are parties to or have property subject to litigation and other proceedings, including matters arising under provisions relating to the protection of the environment. In the opinion of management and in-house counsel, the probability is remote that the outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The results of legal proceedings, however, cannot be predicted with certainty. These matters include the following items, all of which have been previously reported:
A class action complaint alleging violations of the securities laws filed against the Corporation and certain of its officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California,In re Lockheed Martin Corp. Securities Litigation, was dismissed on March 26, 2003. On February 23, 2005, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the District Court’s order dismissing the case.
On June 17, 2002, the Corporation was served with a grand jury subpoena issued by the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The subpoena sought documents relating to an international sales agent engaged by Loral Corporation in connection with the sale of synthetic aperture radars to the Government of Korea in 1996. The Corporation is cooperating with the investigation.
On February 6, 2004, the Corporation submitted a certified contract claim to the United States seeking contractual indemnity for remediation and litigation costs (past and future) associated with its former facility in Redlands, California. The claim was submitted pursuant to a claim sponsorship agreement with The Boeing Company, executed in 2001, in Boeing’s capacity as the prime contractor on the Short Range Attack Missile (SRAM) program. The contract for the SRAM program, which formed a significant portion of the Corporation’s work at the Redlands facility, contained special contractual indemnities from the U.S. Air Force, as authorized by Public Law 85-804. On August 31, 2004, the United States denied the claim. The Corporation’s appeal of that decision is pending before the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals.
On August 28, 2003, the Department of Justice filed complaints in partial intervention in two previously reported lawsuits filed under thequi tam provisions of the Civil False Claims Act in the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky,United States ex rel Natural Resources Defense Council,et al v. Lockheed Martin Corporation, et al, andUnited States ex re. John D. Tillson v. Lockheed Martin Energy Systems, Inc., et al. The Department alleges that the Corporation committed violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant by failing to properly handle, store, and transport hazardous waste and that it violated the False Claims Act by purportedly misleading DoE officials and state regulators regarding the nature and extent of environmental noncompliance at the plant. The Corporation believes the allegations are without merit and is defending against them.
On June 10, 2003, Lockheed Martin filed a civil complaint in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida in Orlando against The Boeing Company and various individuals. On May 24, 2004, the Corporation filed an amended and supplemental complaint, which presently alleges that the defendants solicited, acquired and used Lockheed Martin’s proprietary information during the competition for awards under the U.S. Air Force’s EELV programs and others in violation of Federal and state laws. On August 9, 2004, Boeing filed a six-count counterclaim. The counterclaim alleges tortious interference with business and contract, unfair and deceptive trade practices under Florida law, and false advertising under the Lanham Act, based on the Corporation’s purported disclosure to the U.S. Air Force and the government of Boeing’s possession and use of Lockheed Martin’s documents in the EELV and other
11

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
competitions. The Corporation believes that the counterclaim is without merit and is defending against it.
On July 28, 2003, BAE SYSTEMS North America, Inc. and BAE SYSTEMS Information and Electronic Systems Integration, Inc. filed a lawsuit against the Corporation in the Chancery Court for New Castle County in Delaware, seeking damages of not less than $40 million. BAE seeks indemnification from Lockheed Martin for BAE’s payment of a civil judgment entered in 2001 and related costs arising from a lawsuit involving one of the Aerospace Electronics Systems businesses purchased by BAE from the Corporation in November 2000. Lockheed Martin disputes the indemnification claim and is defending against it.
Nine lawsuits have been filed against the Corporation as a result of an incident in July 2003 at its aircraft parts manufacturing facility in Meridian, Mississippi, which resulted in the deaths of seven of its employees and the wounding of eight others. Six of the lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, and three lawsuits were filed in the Circuit Court of Lauderdale County, Mississippi. The lawsuits allege various torts, including wrongful death, intentional infliction of injury, negligent supervision and intentional infliction of emotional distress. In addition, four of the actions in federal court allege racial or gender discrimination. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has accepted an interlocutory appeal certified by the District Court from its ruling in one of the lawsuits that the tort and wrongful death claims are not barred by the exclusivity provisions of the Mississippi worker’s compensation statute. In another of the lawsuits, the Corporation’s request to file an interlocutory appeal from a similar ruling by the Circuit Court for Lauderdale County has been granted and the Corporation expects to file an appeal with the Mississippi Supreme Court. The lawsuits are proceeding during the pendency of the appeals, and the Corporation continues to defend against them. In addition, subsequent to the incident, 21 charges of race-related discrimination, one charge of sexual discrimination and one disability-related charge were filed by employees with the offices of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The Jackson, Mississippi EEOC office has issued right to sue letters allowing the complainants to pursue private litigation.
As previously reported, in a lawsuit filed against us in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Space Systems Loral (SSL) alleges that the Corporation’s series A2100, 3000, 4000, 5000 and 7000 satellites infringe a patent relating to a method and apparatus to minimize attitude changes resulting from satellite thruster operations. On April 20, 2005, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed the District Court’s order dismissing the lawsuit, ruling that the District Court erred when it concluded that the SSL patent was invalid for violating the written description requirement of patent law. The Court of Appeals remanded the case to the District Court. The Corporation believes that its satellites do not infringe the patent and, if necessary, plans to vigorously defend the case at trial.
As described in the “Environmental Matters” discussion below, Lockheed Martin is subject to federal and state requirements for protection of the environment, including those for discharge of hazardous materials and remediation of contaminated sites. As a result, the Corporation is a party to or has its property subject to various other lawsuits or proceedings involving environmental matters. Due in part to their complexity and pervasiveness, such requirements have resulted in the Corporation being involved with related legal proceedings, claims and remediation obligations.
The Corporation has been in litigation with certain residents of Redlands, California since 1997 regarding allegations of personal injury, property damage, and other tort claims on behalf of individuals and putative classes of individuals arising from its alleged contribution to regional groundwater contamination. In March and April of 2005, the California Court of Appeal issued orders staying all trial and appellate proceedings
12
Table of Contents
Lockheed Martin Corporation
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
pending further order of the Court, including staying the trial of 14 claims that was to have commenced in May 2005 in the California Superior Court for San Bernardino County, and further referred the case to the Court of Appeal’s settlement conference coordinator to arrange a settlement conference with a mediator selected by the presiding justice.
Environmental matters – The Corporation is involved in environmental proceedings and potential proceedings relating to soil and groundwater contamination, disposal of hazardous waste and other environmental matters at several of its current or former facilities. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the aggregate amount of liabilities recorded relative to environmental matters was approximately $420 million. About 60% of the liability relates to sites in Redlands, Burbank and Glendale, California, and in Great Neck, New York, mainly for remediation of soil and groundwater contamination. The remainder of the liability related to other properties (including current operating facilities and certain facilities operated in prior years) for which the Corporation’s obligation is probable and the financial exposure can be estimated. In cases where a date to complete activities at a particular environmental site cannot be estimated by reference to agreements or otherwise, the Corporation projects costs over a reasonable time frame not to exceed 20 years. The extent of the Corporation’s financial exposure cannot in all cases be reasonably determined at this time. The Corporation also is pursuing claims for contribution to site clean-up costs against other potentially responsible parties (PRPs), including the U.S. Government.
At Redlands, California, in response to administrative orders issued by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, the Corporation is investigating the impact and potential remediation of regional groundwater contamination by perchlorates and chlorinated solvents and has submitted a plan approved by the Regional Board to maintain public water supplies with respect to chlorinated solvents during the investigation. In 2004, the State of California established a public health goal of six parts per billion (ppb) for the concentration of perchlorate in water, and elevated the perchlorate action level from four ppb to six ppb. Following further study of perchlorate health effects by both the National Academy of Sciences and by the U.S. EPA, California reaffirmed its six ppb public health goal for perchlorates in March 2005. Although the six ppb public health goal is not a legally enforceable drinking water standard, the Corporation has developed and is in the process of implementing a preliminary remediation plan to meet the six ppb goal in anticipation that California may promulgate an enforceable standard at that level.
The Corporation also is conducting remediation activities pursuant to various consent decrees and orders relating to soil or groundwater contamination at its former operations in Burbank and Glendale, California and Great Neck, New York. Under the Burbank and Glendale orders, the Corporation, among other things, is obligated to construct and fund the operations of soil and groundwater treatment facilities through 2018 and 2012, respectively. Responsibility for the long-term operation of the Burbank and Glendale facilities has been assumed by the respective localities. In addition, under an agreement related to the Burbank and Glendale remediation activities, the U.S. Government

reimburses the Corporation in an amount equal to approximately 50% of expenditures for certain remediation activities in its capacity as a PRP under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA).
NOTE 6 – INFORMATION ON BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Corporation operates in five business segments: Aeronautics, Electronic Systems, Space Systems, Integrated Systems & Solutions (IS&S), and Information & Technology Services (I&TS). In the following table of financial data related to “Operating profit,” the results of the business segments are reconciled to the corresponding consolidated amount. The reconciling item “Net unallocated Corporate expense” includes the FAS/CAS pension adjustment (see discussion below), earnings and losses from equity investments, interest income, costs for stock-based compensation programs, the effects of items not considered part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance, Corporate costs not allocated to the operating segments and other miscellaneous Corporate activities.
The FAS/CAS pension adjustment represents the difference between pension expense or income calculated for financial reporting purposes under GAAP in accordance with FAS 87, and pension costs calculated and funded in accordance with U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), which are reflected in the business segment results. CAS is a major factor in determining pension funding requirements for the Corporation, and governs the extent of allocability and recoverability of pension costs on government contracts. The CAS expense is recovered through the pricing of the Corporation’s products and services on U.S. Government contracts, and therefore recognized in segment net sales. The results of operations of the Corporation’s segments only include pension expense as determined and funded in accordance with CAS rules.

NOTE 7 – OTHER
In January 2005, the Corporation completed the sale of its 25% interest in Intelsat, Ltd. to a private equity firm for $18.75 per share. The Corporation received proceeds of $752 million and recorded a gain, net of state income taxes, of $47 million in other income and expenses. The gain increased net earnings by $31 million ($0.07 per share).
In March 2005, the Corporation recorded a charge, net of state income tax benefits, of $30 million in cost of sales related to impairment in the value of a single telecommunications satellite operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation. The charge reduced net earnings by $19 million ($0.04 per share). The impairment charge was recorded due to concerns of overcapacity in markets served by the satellite.

On March 31, 2005, the Corporation completed its purchase of The SYTEX Group, Inc. (SYTEX). The total purchase price related to the Corporation’s acquisition of SYTEX, including transaction-related costs and estimated purchase price adjustments, was approximately $480 million. Approximately $380 million of the purchase price was paid in cash at closing, with most of the remainder payable in 2006. The acquisition is being accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Preliminary purchase accounting adjustments were recorded at March 31, 2005 by allocating the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values, and included recording goodwill of approximately $380 million which will be amortized for tax purposes. These preliminary adjustments and estimates are subject to change as a result of the completion of future analyses. The acquisition expands the Corporation’s information technology solutions and technical support services businesses with the U.S. Department of Defense and other federal agencies. The operations of SYTEX will be included in the Information & Technology Services business segment beginning in the second quarter of 2005.
In February 2005, the Corporation also completed the acquisition of STASYS Limited, a U.K.-based technology and consulting firm specializing in network communications and defense interoperability, whose operations will be combined with the Integrated Systems & Solutions segment. The acquisition was not material to the Corporation’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
The components of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 consisted of the following:

We have reviewed the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Lockheed Martin Corporation as of March 31, 2005, and the related unaudited condensed consolidated statement of earnings for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Lockheed Martin Corporation as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated February 23, 2005, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
March 31, 2005
Lockheed Martin Corporation principally researches, designs, develops, manufactures, integrates, operates and sustains advanced technology systems, products and services. As a leading systems integrator, our products and services range from aircraft, spacecraft and launch vehicles to missiles, electronics and information systems. We serve customers in domestic and international defense, civil markets and homeland security, with our principal customers being agencies of the U.S. Government. About 80% of our sales over the past three years have been to agencies of the U.S. Government. Our main areas of focus are in the defense, space, intelligence/homeland security, and government information technology markets. We operate in five principal business segments: Aeronautics, Electronic Systems, Space Systems, Integrated Systems & Solutions (IS&S) and Information & Technology Services (I&TS).
The following discussion should be read along with our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Consolidated Results of Operations
Since our operating cycle is long-term and involves many types of development and production contracts with varying production delivery schedules, the results of operations of a particular quarter, or quarter-to-quarter comparisons of recorded sales and profits, may not be indicative of our future operating results. The following discussions of comparative results among periods should be viewed in this context. All per share amounts cited in the following discussions are presented on a “per diluted share” basis.
The following discussion of net sales and operating results will provide an overview of our operations by focusing on key elements set forth in our statement of earnings. The “Discussion of Business Segments” which follows, will describe the contributions of each of our business segments to our consolidated results for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.
Net sales for the first quarter of 2005 were $8.5 billion, a 2% increase over the first quarter 2004 sales of $8.3 billion. Sales increases in Electronics Systems, Space Systems and IS&S more than offset slight declines in Aeronautics and I&TS during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to 2004.

Lockheed Martin Corporation
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (continued)
For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the following items, among other things, were included in “Net unallocated Corporate (expense) income” (see the related section under the Discussion of Business Segments below):
• | A gain, net of state income taxes, of $47 million related to the sale of our 25% interest in Intelsat, Ltd., and |
• | A charge, net of state income tax benefits, of $30 million related to impairment in the value of a single telecommunications satellite operated by one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. |
On a net basis, these items increased our net earnings by $12 million ($0.03 per share). There were no such items related to the quarter ended March 31, 2004.
Operating profit for the first quarter of 2005 was $630 million, an increase of 18% from the $536 million recorded in 2004. Operating profit increased in all five business segments during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 from the comparable 2004 period.
Interest expense for the first quarter of 2005 was $90 million, $18 million lower than the comparable period in 2004. This was primarily the result of the reduction in our debt portfolio.
Our effective income tax rates for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were 31.7% and 32.0%, respectively. The effective rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 is lower than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to tax benefits related to export sales, the recently enacted tax deduction for U.S. manufacturing activities and deductions related to our employee stock ownership plan. The effective rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was lower than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to tax benefits related to export sales.
For the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, our net earnings were $369 million ($0.83 per share) and $291 million ($0.65 per share), respectively.
Discussion of Business Segments
The following tables of financial information and related discussions of the results of operations of our business segments are consistent with the presentation of segment information in Note 6 to the financial statements in this Form 10-Q.
The Aeronautics segment generally includes fewer programs that have much larger sales and operating results than programs included in the other segments. Therefore, due to the larger number of comparatively smaller programs in the remaining segments, the discussions of the results of operations of these business segments generally focus on lines of business within the segments rather than on specific programs.

Aeronautics
Aeronautics’ operating results included the following:

2005 | 2004 | |||||
(In millions) | ||||||
Net sales | $ | 2,766 | $ | 2,875 | ||
Operating profit | 222 | 206 |
Net sales for Aeronautics decreased by 4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 from 2004 due to a decline in Combat Aircraft, which more than offset higher volume in Air Mobility. The Combat Aircraft sales decrease of 9% was primarily due to lower volume on F-16 and other combat aircraft programs. Higher volume on the C-5 and other programs contributed to the revenue growth in Air Mobility.
Segment operating profit increased by 8% in the first quarter of 2005 compared to 2004. Operating profit was higher primarily due to the volume increases discussed above and improved performance on the C-130 and other programs in Air Mobility, which were partially offset by lower Combat Aircraft operating profit related to the reduced volume mentioned above.
Electronic Systems
Electronic Systems’ operating results included the following:

Net sales | $ | 2,257 | $ | 2,134 | ||
Operating profit | 232 | 202 |
Net sales for Electronic Systems increased 6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to higher volume in surface system programs at Maritime Systems & Sensors (MS2) and in platform integration activities at Platform Training & Transportation Solutions (PT&TS). These increases more than offset a decline in volume on air defense programs at Missiles & Fire Control (M&FC).
Operating profit for Electronic Systems increased 15% in the first quarter of 2005 compared to 2004. The increase was due to improved performance on fire control and air

Net sales for Space Systems increased 5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to 2004. The sales growth was primarily attributable to an increase in Satellites, where higher volume on government satellite programs more than offset a decline in commercial satellites. No commercial satellites were delivered this quarter as compared to one in 2004. A slight increase in Launch Services more than offset a decline in Strategic and Defensive Missile Systems. There were two Atlas launches and one Proton launch in the first quarters of both 2005 and 2004.
Space Systems’ operating profit increased by 28% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to 2004. Satellites’ operating profit increased due to volume and improved performance on government satellite programs, which more than offset a decline in commercial satellites due to no satellite deliveries this quarter. In Launch Services, operating profit was lower this quarter due to the benefit in 2004 resulting from the termination of a launch vehicle contract by a commercial customer, which was partially offset by a more profitable Proton launch in 2005.

LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOWS
We have developed strategic cash deployment objectives to help grow our core business, increase shareholder value and position us to take advantage of new business opportunities when they arise. Those objectives include internal investment in our business (e.g., capital expenditures, independent research and development), share repurchases, increases in dividends, debt reductions, and selected acquisitions of businesses consistent with our strategy. The following discussion highlights our cash activities for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, as well as our future plans.
Operating Activities
Our operating cash flow continues to be the primary source of funds for financing our activities. Cash from operations amounted to $1.5 billion in the first quarter of 2005 and $1.1 billion in the first quarter of 2004. Our earnings, adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization and working capital improvements, were the driving force behind the first quarter 2005 cash flows. Our working capital has continued to be
23
Table of Contents
Lockheed Martin Corporation
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (continued)
a focus of our cash management processes. We attribute this to our continued discipline in managing our cash conversion cycle, including the negotiation of performance-based progress payment or advance payment terms in our contracts, inventory management, and billing and collection activities. We continue to leverage the billing and collection processes of our Shared Services centers, including the emphasis on electronic interfaces with our U.S. Government customers.
Investing Activities
Capital expenditures– Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment amounted to $89 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $106 million in the first quarter of 2004. We expect a higher level of capital expenditures in 2005 and 2006 compared to the $769 million of expenditures recorded in 2004, consistent with the expected growth in our business.
Acquisitions and divestitures– In addition to our internal investment in capital expenditures, we also selectively identify businesses for potential acquisition. During the first quarter of 2005, we paid approximately $413 million for two businesses to strengthen our capabilities in providing IT services to defense, intelligence and other government customers.
Also during the first quarter of 2005, we received proceeds of $762 million from divestiture activities, including the sale of our investment in Intelsat, Ltd.
Other investing activities – During the first quarter of 2005, we purchased $10 million of short-term investments and in the same period of 2004, we liquidated $240 million of short-term investments.
Financing Activities
Issuance and repayment of long-term debt– Cash provided from operations has been our principal source of funds to reduce our long-term debt. There were no repayments of long-term debt in the first quarter of 2005; however, we used $15 million in the first quarter of 2004 for scheduled repayments of debt maturities.
Share dividends and repurchases– Shareholders were paid dividends of $110 million in the first quarter of 2005 compared to $98 million in the first quarter of 2004. We paid a quarterly dividend of $0.25 in 2005 compared to $0.22 per share in the first quarter of 2004.
Cash was also used opportunistically in the first quarter of 2005 for common share repurchase activity. We have a share repurchase program in place for the repurchase of up to 43 million shares of our common stock from time-to-time at management’s discretion. At March 31, 2005, a total of approximately 16 million shares may be repurchased in the future under the program. During the first quarter of 2005, we paid $99 million to settle share repurchases that occurred in 2004, and repurchased 611,800
24
Table of Contents
Lockheed Martin Corporation
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (continued)
shares of our common stock for $35 million on a net basis. During the comparable period of 2004, we did not repurchase any shares of our stock. See Part II, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q, for additional information regarding the repurchase of shares during the quarter ended March 31, 2005.
As part of our share repurchase program, we may from time-to-time enter into structured share repurchase transactions with financial institutions. These agreements generally require that we make an up-front cash payment in exchange for the right to receive shares of our common stock or cash at the expiration of the agreement, dependent upon the closing price of our common stock at the maturity date. We entered into several such transactions during the first quarter of 2005 which, in the aggregate, required up-front cash payments totaling $120 million. Based on the closing price of our common stock on the maturity dates of the agreements, the transactions resulted in our receiving cash payments, and therefore did not result in the repurchase of any shares of our common stock. The net impact of the transactions was not material to earnings, cash flows or financial position. There were no such transactions outstanding at March 31, 2005.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 2005, our total long-term debt amounted to $5.1 billion, unchanged from the December 31, 2004 balance. Our long-term debt is mainly in the form of publicly issued notes and debentures. The majority of our long-term debt bears interest at fixed rates. We have $1.0 billion of convertible debentures that have a floating interest rate based on LIBOR. We improved our debt-to-total capital ratio from 42% at December 31, 2004 to 41% at March 31, 2005. We held cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.7 billion and short-term investments of $406 million at March 31, 2005.
Our stockholders’ equity amounted to $7.4 billion at March 31, 2005, an increase of $420 million from December 31, 2004. Net earnings and stock plan activities more than offset our repurchases of common stock and payment of dividends.
At March 31, 2005, we had in place a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, which expires in July 2009, and a $500 million revolving credit facility, which expires in July 2005. There were no borrowings outstanding under either facility at March 31, 2005.
We actively seek to finance our business in a manner that preserves financial flexibility while minimizing borrowing costs to the extent practicable. Our management continually reviews changes in financial, market and economic conditions to manage the types, amounts and maturities of our indebtedness. We may at times refinance existing indebtedness, vary our mix of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt, or seek alternative financing sources for our cash and operational needs.
Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, cash flow from operations and other available financing resources, are expected to be sufficient to meet anticipated

operating, capital expenditure and debt service requirements, as well as acquisitions and other discretionary investment needs, projected over the next three years.
ADVANCES TO RUSSIAN MANUFACTURERS
Lockheed-Khrunichev-Energia International, Inc. (LKEI), a joint venture we have with two Russian government-owned space firms, has exclusive rights to market launches of commercial, non-Russian-origin space payloads on the Proton family of rockets from a launch site in Kazakhstan. Commercial Atlas and Proton launch services are marketed around the world through International Launch Services (ILS), a joint venture between Lockheed Martin and LKEI. We consolidate the results of operations of LKEI and ILS into our financial statements based on our controlling financial interest. Contracts for launch services usually require substantial advances from the customer prior to launch. At March 31, 2005, $318 million of advances received from customers for Proton launch services not yet provided was included as a liability in our balance sheet in customer advances and amounts in excess of costs incurred.
A sizable percentage of the advances we receive from customers for Proton launch services are sent to Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center (Khrunichev), the manufacturer of the launch vehicle and provider of the related launch services in Russia. If a contracted launch service is not provided, a sizeable percentage of the related advance would have to be refunded to the customer. In addition, we have previously sent advances to Khrunichev that are covered by an arrangement to reduce future launch payments from us to Khrunichev, contingent on the receipt of new orders as well as a minimum number of actual launches each year. The advances sent to Khrunichev are included on our balance sheet in inventories. Total payments to Khrunichev included in inventories at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, were $321 million and $301 million, respectively. Our ability to realize the remaining amounts may be affected by Khrunichev’s ability to provide the launch services and the political environment in Russia. Through March 31, 2005, launch services through LKEI and ILS have been provided according to contract terms.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The foregoing discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based on the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingencies. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (continued)
During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, there were no significant changes to the critical accounting policies we disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FAS 123(R),Share-Based Payments, that, upon implementation, will impact our net earnings and earnings per share, and change the classification of certain elements of the statement of cash flows. FAS 123(R) requires stock options and other share-based payments made to employees to be accounted for as compensation expense and recorded at fair value, and to reflect the related excess tax benefit received upon exercise of the options, if any, in the statement of cash flows as a financing activity inflow rather than an adjustment of operating activity as currently presented. We currently use the Black-Scholes model to compute the fair value of our stock options in connection with our disclosure of the pro forma effects on net earnings and earnings per share as if compensation cost had been recognized for such options at the date of grant (see Note 2 to the financial statements).
In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a new rule which defers the compliance date of FAS 123(R) until 2006 for calendar year companies such as Lockheed Martin. Consistent with the new rule, we intend to adopt FAS 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006, and to implement it on a prospective basis. We are continuing to analyze and assess a number of technical implementation issues relating to adoption of the standard, including the selection and use of an appropriate valuation model, and therefore the ultimate impact of adopting FAS 123(R) is not yet known.
In May 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 106-2,Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003. This FSP provides specific authoritative guidance on the accounting for the federal subsidy to eligible sponsors of retiree health care benefits provided under this law. Using this guidance, we calculated a reduction in our accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2004 of $295 million from the effects of the new law and, after application of government contracting regulations, don’t anticipate a material impact on net earnings from the reduction in net periodic post-retirement benefits cost in 2005. We expect to adopt the FSP in the second quarter of 2005.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risk |
Our main exposure to market risk relates to interest rates and, to a lesser extent, foreign currency exchange rates. Our financial instruments that are subject to interest rate risk principally include fixed-rate and floating rate long-term debt. The majority of our long-term debt obligations are not callable until maturity. We sometimes use interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to fixed and variable interest rates; however, at March 31, 2005, we had no such agreements in place.
We use forward foreign exchange contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, and do so in ways that qualify for hedge accounting treatment. These exchange contracts hedge the fluctuations in cash flows associated with firm commitments or specific anticipated transactions contracted in foreign currencies, or hedge the exposure to rate changes affecting foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities. Related gains and losses on these contracts, to the extent they are effective hedges, are recognized in income at the same time as the hedged transaction is recognized or when the hedged asset or liability is adjusted. To the extent the hedges are ineffective, gains and losses on the contracts are recognized currently. At March 31, 2005, the fair value of forward exchange contracts outstanding, as well as the amounts of gains and losses recorded during the quarter, were not material. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, including internal control over financial reporting, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic filings with the SEC is reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and transactions are properly executed and recorded. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating such controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to use its judgment in evaluating the cost to benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As we do not control or manage those entities, our controls and procedures with respect to those entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.
We routinely review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating the activities of two or more business units, and migrating certain processes to our Shared Services centers. In addition, when we acquire new businesses, we review the controls and procedures of the acquired business as part of our integration activities.
We performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, including internal control over financial reporting, as of March 31, 2005. The evaluation was performed with the participation of senior management of each business segment and key Corporate functions, and under the supervision of the CEO and CFO. Based on the evaluation, our management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements in this Form 10-Q that, to the extent they are not recitations of historical fact, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, and are based on our current expectations and assumptions. The words “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan,” “outlook,” “forecast” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially because of factors such as: the availability of government funding for our products and services both domestically and internationally; changes in government and customer priorities and requirements (including changes to respond to budgetary constraints and cost-cutting initiatives, terrorist threats and homeland security); the impact of continued military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as other competing budget priorities, on funding for existing defense programs; the award or termination of contracts; difficulties in developing and producing operationally advanced technology systems; the timing and customer acceptance of product deliveries; performance issues with key suppliers, subcontractors and customers; financial market and other changes that may impact pension plan assumptions; charges from any future impairment reviews that may result in the recognition of losses and a reduction in the book value of investments, goodwill or other long-term assets; the future impact of legislation or changes in accounting or tax rules, interpretations or pronouncements; the future impact of acquisitions or divestitures, joint ventures or teaming arrangements; the outcome of legal proceedings and other contingencies (including lawsuits, government investigations or audits, and environmental remediation efforts); the competitive environment for government and information technology products and services; and economic, business and political conditions domestically and internationally.
These are only some of the factors that may affect the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. For a discussion identifying additional important factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, see the Corporation’s filings with the SEC including, but not limited to, the discussions of “Government Contracts and Regulations” and “Risk Factors and Forward-Looking Statements” on pages 14 through 15 and on pages 16 through 20 of the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (Form 10-K); “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 18 through 27 of this Form 10-Q; and “Note 4 – Post-Retirement Benefit Plans” and “Note 5 – Legal Proceedings and Contingencies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements on page 10 and pages 11 through 14, respectively, included in this Form 10-Q.
The Corporation’s actual financial results likely will be different from those projected due to the inherent nature of projections. Given these uncertainties, you should not rely on forward-looking statements in making investment decisions. The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q speak only as of the date of the Report. The Corporation expressly disclaims a duty to provide updates to forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-Q to reflect the occurrence of subsequent events, changed circumstances, changes in its expectations, or the estimates and assumptions associated with them. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are intended to be subject to the safe harbor protection provided by the federal securities laws.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
The Corporation is a party to or has property subject to litigation and other proceedings, including matters arising under provisions relating to the protection of the environment, as described in “Note 5 – Legal Proceedings and Contingencies” of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q, and in the Corporation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Form 10-K), or arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management and in-house counsel, the probability is remote that the outcome of any such litigation or other proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The results of legal proceedings, however, cannot be predicted with certainty.
The Corporation is primarily engaged 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 are funded by the U.S. Government. These contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements and, from time to time, agencies of the U.S. Government investigate whether the Corporation’s operations are being conducted in accordance with these requirements. U.S. Government investigations of the Corporation, whether relating to these contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon the Corporation, or could lead to 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 the Corporation.
We are subject to federal and state requirements for protection of the environment, including those for discharge of hazardous materials and remediation of contaminated sites. As a result, we are a party to or have our property subject to various other lawsuits or proceedings involving environmental protection matters. Due in part to their complexity and pervasiveness, such requirements have resulted in our being involved with related legal proceedings, claims and remediation obligations. The extent of our financial exposure cannot in all cases be reasonably estimated at this time. For information regarding these matters, including current estimates of the amounts that we believe are required for remediation or clean-up to the extent estimable, see “Note 5 – Legal Proceedings and Contingencies” on pages 11 through 14 of this Form 10-Q.
In addition, see the “Legal Proceedings” section of the Form 10-K for a description of previously reported matters.
