Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
We prepared these consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, accounting for sales and cost recognition,recognition; postretirement benefit plans,plans; environmental liability and assets for the portion of environmental costs that are probable of future recovery and liabilities,recovery; evaluation of goodwill,goodwill; intangible assets; investments and other assets for impairment,impairment; income taxes including deferred tax assets,assets; fair value measurementsmeasurements; and contingencies. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of subsidiaries we control and variable interest entities if we are the primary beneficiary. We eliminate intercompany balances and transactions in consolidation.
We close our books and records on the last Sunday of the calendar quarter which was on September 27 for the third quarter of 2020 and September 29 for the third quarter of 2019, to align our financial closing with our business processes. The consolidated financial statements and tables of financial information included herein are labeled based on that convention. This practice only affects interim periods as our fiscal year ends on December 31.
We adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, effective January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. The new standard changes how we account for credit losses for financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade receivables and contract assets, that are not measured at fair value through net income. Under legacy standards, we recognized an impairment of receivables when it was probable that a loss had been incurred. Under the new standard, we are required to recognize estimated credit losses expected to occur over the estimated life or remaining contractual life of an asset (which includes losses that may be incurred in future periods) using a broader range of information including reasonable and supportable forecasts about future economic conditions. The adoption of the standard did not have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
We adopted ASU 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements For Defined Benefit Plans, effective January 1, 2020. The new standard modifies the annual disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The guidance requires disclosure changes to be presented on a retrospective basis. As this standard relates only to financial disclosures, its adoption did not have an impact to our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or future periods. Unless otherwise noted, we present all per share amounts cited in these consolidated financial statements on a “per diluted share” basis. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (20192020 (2020 Form 10-K).
NOTE 2 -PENDING ACQUISITION OF AEROJET ROCKETDYNE
On December 20, 2020, we entered into an agreement to acquire Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc. (“Aerojet Rocketdyne”) for $51.00 per share, which is net of a $5.00 per share special cash dividend Aerojet Rocketdyne paid to its stockholders on March 24, 2021. This represents a post-dividend equity value of approximately $4.6 billion, on a fully diluted as-converted basis, and a transaction value of approximately $4.4 billion after the assumption of Aerojet Rocketdyne’s projected net cash. We expect to finance the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and new debt issuances. The transaction was approved by Aerojet Rocketdyne’s stockholders on March 9,
2021, which was a closing condition. The transaction is expected to close in the later part of 2021, subject to receipt of regulatory approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and satisfaction of other closing conditions specified in the acquisition agreement. Our financial results will not include Aerojet Rocketdyne’s results until the acquisition is closed.

We compute basic and diluted earnings per common share by dividing net earnings by the respective weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods presented. Our calculation of diluted earnings per common share also includes the dilutive effects for the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance stock units (PSUs) and exercise of outstanding stock options based on the treasury stock method. There were 0 significant anti-dilutive equity awards during the quarters and nine months ended September 27, 2020March 28, 2021 or SeptemberMarch 29, 2019.2020.
NOTE 3 –4 - INFORMATION ON BUSINESS SEGMENTS
We operate in 4 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 products and services offered.
Net sales and operating profit of our business segments exclude intersegment sales, cost of sales, and profit 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 excludes the FAS/CAS pension operating adjustment, described below, a portion of corporate costs not considered allowable or allocable to contracts with the U.S. Government under the applicable U.S. governmentGovernment cost accounting standards (CAS) or federal acquisition regulations (FAR), and other items not considered part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance such as a portion of management and administration costs, legal fees and settlements, environmental costs, stock-based compensation expense, retiree benefits, significant severance actions, significant asset impairments, gains or losses from significant divestitures, and other miscellaneous corporate activities.
Excluded items are included in the reconciling item “Unallocated items” between operating profit from our business segments and our consolidated operating profit. See “Note 10 –11 - Other” for a discussion related to certain factors that may impact the comparability of net sales and operating profit of our business segments.

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.
We expect to haveOur total net FAS/CAS pension adjustment for the quarters ended March 28, 2021 and March 29, 2020, including the service and non-service cost components of FAS pension income in 2020, compared to FAS pension expense in prior periods. We no longer have service cost for certain of our plans as a result of completing the planned freeze of our salariedqualified defined benefit pension plans, effective January 1, 2020 that was previously announced on July 1, 2014.

NOTE 7 –8 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES
We are a party to or have property subject to litigation and other proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business, including matters arising under provisions relating to the protection of the environment, and are subject to contingencies related to certain businesses we previously owned. These types of matters could result in fines, penalties, cost reimbursements or contributions, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary sanctions or relief. We believe the probability is remote that the outcome of each of these matters, including the legal proceedings described below, will have a material adverse effect on the corporation as a whole, notwithstanding that the unfavorable resolution of any matter may have a material effect on our net earnings in any particular interim reporting period. Among the factors that we consider in this assessment are the nature of existing legal proceedings and claims, the asserted or possible damages or

loss contingency (if estimable), the progress of the case, existing law and precedent, the opinions or views of legal counsel and other advisers, our experience in similar cases and the experience of other companies, the facts available to us at the time of assessment and how we intend to respond to the proceeding or claim. Our assessment of these factors may change over time as individual proceedings or claims progress.
Although we cannot predict the outcome of legal or other proceedings with certainty, where there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred, GAAP requires us to disclose an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss or make a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. We follow a thorough process in which we seek to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss, and only if we are unable to make such an estimate do we conclude and disclose that an estimate cannot be made. Accordingly, unless otherwise indicated below in our discussion of legal proceedings, a reasonably possible loss or range of loss associated with any individual legal proceeding cannot be estimated.
Legal Proceedings

United States of America, ex rel. Patzer; Cimma v. Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., et al
As a result of our acquisition of Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Sikorsky), we assumed the defense of and any potential liability for 2 civil False Claims Act lawsuits pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. In October 2014, the U.S. Government filed a complaint in intervention in the first suit, which was brought by qui tam relator Mary Patzer, a former Derco Aerospace (Derco) employee. In May 2017, the U.S. Government filed a complaint in intervention in the second suit, which was brought by qui tam relator Peter Cimma, a former Sikorsky Support Services, Inc. (SSSI) employee. In November 2017, the Court consolidated the cases into a single action for discovery and trial.
The U.S. Government alleges that Sikorsky and 2 of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Derco and SSSI, violated the civil False Claims Act and the Truth in Negotiations Act in connection with a contract the U.S. Navy awarded to SSSI in June 2006 to support the Navy’s T-34 and T-44 fixed-wing turboprop training aircraft. SSSI subcontracted with Derco, primarily to procure and manage spare parts for the training aircraft. The U.S. Government contends that SSSI overbilled the Navy on the contract as the result of Derco’s use of prohibited cost-plus-percentage-of-cost pricing to add profit and overhead costs as a percentage of the price of the spare parts that Derco procured and then sold to SSSI. The U.S. Government also alleges that Derco’s claims to SSSI, SSSI’s claims to the Navy, and SSSI’s yearly Certificates of Final Indirect Costs from 2006 through 2012 were false and that SSSI submitted inaccurate cost or pricing data in violation of the Truth in Negotiations Act for a sole-sourced, follow-on “bridge” contract. The U.S. Government’s complaints assert common law claims for breach of contract and unjust enrichment.
The U.S. Government further alleged violations of the Anti-Kickback Act and False Claims Act based on a monthly “chargeback,” through which SSSI billed Derco for the cost of certain SSSI personnel, allegedly in exchange for SSSI’s permitting a pricing arrangement that was “highly favorable” to Derco. On January 12, 2018, the Corporation filed a partial motion to dismiss intended to narrow the U.S. Government’s claims, including by seeking dismissal of the Anti-Kickback Act allegations. The Corporation also moved to dismiss Cimma as a party under the False Claims Act’s first-to-file rule, which permits only the first relator to recover in a pending case. The District Court granted these motions, in part, on July 20, 2018, dismissing the Government’s claims under the Anti-Kickback Act and dismissing Cimma as a party to the litigation.
The U.S. Government seeks damages of approximately $52 million, subject to trebling, plus statutory penalties. We believe that we have legal and factual defenses to the U.S. Government’s remaining claims. Although we continue to evaluate our liability and exposure, we do not currently believe that it is probable that we will incur a material loss. If, contrary to our expectations, the U.S. Government prevails in this matter and proves damages at or near $52 million and

is successful in having such damages trebled, the outcome could have an adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which a liability is recognized and on our cash flows for the period in which any damages are paid.

United States of America v. Mission Support Alliance, LLC, et al.
On February 8, 2019,April 5, 2021, we agreed to settle with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) the previously disclosed lawsuit that the DOJ filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington alleging, among other counts,on February 8, 2019. The complaint alleged claims under the civil False Claims Act, and civil Anti-Kickback Act, violationsand the common law against Mission Support Alliance, LLC (MSA), Lockheed Martin, Lockheed Martin Services, Inc. (LMSI) and a current Lockheed Martin vice president. The dollar amountpresident arising out of damages sought is not specified but DOJ seeks treble damages with respect to the False Claims Act and penalties that are subject to doubling under the Anti-Kickback Act. The allegations relate primarily to information technology services performed by LMSI under a subcontract to MSA and the pricing by MSA and LMSI of those services as well as Lockheed Martin’s payment of standard incentive compensation to certain employees who were seconded to MSA, including the vice president.MSA. MSA is a joint venture that holdsheld a prime contract to provide infrastructure support services at DOE’sthe Department of Energy’s (DOE) Hanford facility. On April 23, 2019, the parties each filed partial motions to dismiss the U.S. Government’s False Claims Act and Anti-Kickback Act allegations. On January 13, 2020, theThe court had previously dismissed the Anti-Kickback Act claim against all defendants with prejudice and denied the motions to dismiss the False Claims Act claims on January 13, 2020. Under the terms of the settlement, the defendants agreed to pay $6 million to resolve the remaining claims. We believe that we have substantial defenses to all of the allegations and have agreed to settle the case to avoid the costs of further litigation of this matter. We are not admitting liability or wrongdoing in settling the matter.
On August 16, 2016, we divestedThe lawsuit relates to liabilities of our former Information Systems & Global Solutions (IS&GS) business segment that we divested to Leidos Holdings, Inc. (Leidos) in a transaction that resulted in IS&GS becomingon August 16, 2016. As part of Leidos (the Transaction). In the Transaction,divestiture, Leidos acquired IS&GS’ interest in MSA and the liabilities related to Lockheed Martin’s participation in MSA. Included within the liabilities assumed were those associated with this lawsuit. Lockheed Martin transferred to Leidos a reserve of approximately $38 million established by Lockheed Martin with respect to its potential liability and that of its affiliates and agreed to indemnify Leidos with respect to the liabilities assumed for damages to Leidos for 100% of amounts in excess of this reserve up to $64 million and 50% of amounts in excess of $64 million.
We cannot reasonably estimate our exposure at this time, but it is possible that a settlement by or judgment against any of the defendants could implicate Lockheed Martin’s indemnification obligations as described above. At present, in view of what we believe to be the strength of the defenses, our belief that Leidos assumed the liabilities, and our view of the structure of the indemnity, we do not believe it probable that we will incur a material loss and have not taken any reserve.Martin v. Metropolitan Transportation Authority
On April 24, 2009, we filed a declaratory judgment action against the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority and its Capital Construction Company (collectively, the MTA) asking the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to find that the MTA is in material breach of our agreement based on the MTA’s failure to provide access to sites where work must be performed and the customer-furnished equipment necessary to complete the contract. The MTA filed an answer and counterclaim alleging that we breached the contract and subsequently terminated the contract for alleged default. The primary damages sought by the MTA are the costs to complete the contract and potential re-procurement costs. While we are unable to estimate the cost of another contractor to complete the contract and the costs of re-procurement, we note that our contract with the MTA had a total value of $323 million, of which $241 million was paid to us, and that the MTA is seeking damages of approximately $190 million. We dispute the MTA’s allegations and are defending against them. Additionally, following an investigation, our sureties on a performance bond related to this matter, who were represented by independent counsel, concluded that the MTA’s termination of the contract was improper. Finally, our declaratory judgment action was later amended to include claims for monetary damages against the MTA of approximately $95 million. This matter was taken under submission by the District Court in December 2014, after a five-week bench trial and the filing of post-trial pleadings by the parties. We continue to await a decision from the District Court. Although this matter relates to our former IS&GS business, we retained responsibility for the litigation when we divested IS&GS in 2016.
Environmental Matters
We are involved in proceedings and potential proceedings relating to soil, sediment, surface water, and groundwater contamination, disposal of hazardous substances, and other environmental matters at several of our current or former facilities, facilities for which we may have contractual responsibility, and at third-party sites where we have been designated as a potentially responsible party (PRP). A substantial portion of environmental costs will be included in our net sales and cost of sales in future periods pursuant to U.S. Government regulations. At the time a liability is recorded for future environmental costs, we record assets for estimated future recovery considered probable through the pricing of products and services to agencies of the U.S. Government, regardless of the contract form (e.g., cost-reimbursable, fixed-price). We continually evaluate the recoverability of our assets for the portion of environmental costs that are probable of

future recovery by assessing, among other factors, U.S. Government regulations, our U.S. Government business base and contract mix, our history of receiving reimbursement of such costs, and efforts by some U.S. Government representatives to limit such reimbursement. We include the portions of those environmental costs expected to be allocated to our non-U.S. Government contracts, or determined not to be recoverable under U.S. Government contracts, in our cost of sales at the time the liability is established.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
At September 27, 2020March 28, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the aggregate amount of liabilities recorded relative to environmental matters was $799$778 million and $810$789 million, most of which are recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. We have recorded assets for the portion of environmental costs that are probable of future recovery totaling $694$675 million and $703$685 million at September 27, 2020March 28, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, most of which are recorded in other noncurrent assets on our consolidated balance sheets, for the estimated future recovery of these costs, as we consider the recovery probable based on the factors previously mentioned. We project costs and recovery of costs over approximately 20 years.
Environmental remediation activities usually span many years, which makes estimating liabilities a matter of judgment because of uncertainties with respect to assessing the extent of the contamination as well as such factors as changing remediation technologies and changing regulatory environmental standards. We are monitoring or investigating a number of former and present operating facilities for potential future remediation. We perform quarterly reviews of the status of our environmental remediation sites and the related liabilities and receivables. Additionally, in our quarterly reviews, we consider these and other factors in estimating the timing and amount of any future costs that may be required for remediation activities, and we record a liability when it is probable that a loss has occurred or will occur for a particular site and the loss can be reasonably estimated. The amount of liability recorded is based on our estimate of the costs to be incurred for remediation at a particularfor that site. We do not discount the recorded liabilities, as the amount and timing of future cash payments are not fixed or cannot be reliably determined. We cannot reasonably determine the extent of our financial exposure in all cases as, although a loss may be probable or reasonably possible, in some cases it is not possible at this time to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss.
We also pursue claims for recovery of costs incurred or for contribution to site remediation costs against other PRPs, including the U.S. Government, and are conducting remediation activities under various consent decrees, orders, and agreements relating to soil, groundwater, sediment, or surface water contamination at certain sites of former or current operations. Under agreements related to certain sites in California, New York, United States Virgin Islands and Washington, the U.S. Government and/or a private party reimburses us an amount equal to a percentage, specific to each site, of expenditures for certain remediation activities in their capacity as PRPs under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA).
In addition to the proceedings and potential proceedings discussed above, the California previously establishedState Water Resources Control Board, a branch of the California Environmental Protection Agency, has indicated it will work to re-establish a maximum level of the contaminant hexavalent chromium in drinking water after a prior standard of 10 parts per billion (ppb). This standard was successfully challenged by the California Manufacturers and Technology Association (CMTA) for failure to conduct the required economic feasibility analysis. In response to the court’s ruling, the State Water Resources Control Board (State Board), a branch of the California Environmental Protection Agency, withdrew the hexavalent chromium standard from the published regulations, leaving only the 50 ppb standard for total chromium. The State Board has indicated it will work to re-establish a hexavalent chromium standard. Further, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) is considering whether to regulate hexavalent chromium. Californiawithdrawn, and is also reevaluating its existing drinking water standard of 6 ppb for perchlorate. The U.S. EPAEnvironmental Protection Agency decided in June 2020 not to regulate perchlorate in drinking water at the federal level.level, although this decision has been challenged, and is considering whether to regulate hexavalent chromium.
If substantially lower standards are adopted for perchlorate (in California) or for hexavalent chromium (in California or at the federal level), we expect a material increase in our estimates for environmental liabilities and the related assets for the portion of the increased costs that are probable of future recovery in the pricing of our products and services for the U.S. Government. The amount that would be allocable to our non-U.S. Government contracts or that is determined not to be recoverable under U.S. Government contracts would be expensed, which may have a material effect on our earnings in any particular interim reporting period.
We also are evaluating the potential impact of existing and contemplated legal requirements addressing a class of compounds known generally as per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFAS). PFAS compounds have been used ubiquitously, such as in fire-fighting foams, manufacturing processes, and stain- and stick-resistant products (e.g., Teflon, stain-resistant fabrics). Because we have used products and processes over the years containing some of those
19

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
compounds, they likely exist as contaminants at many of our environmental remediation sites. Governmental authorities have announced plans, and in some instances have begun, to regulate certain of these compounds at extremely low concentrations in drinking water, which could lead to increased cleanup costs at many of our environmental remediation sites.
Letters of Credit, Surety Bonds and Third-Party Guarantees
We have entered into standby letters of credit and surety bonds issued on our behalf by financial institutions, and we have directly issued guarantees to third parties primarily relating to advances received from customers and the guarantee of future performance on certain contracts. Letters of credit and surety bonds generally are available for draw down in the

event we do not perform. In some cases, we may guarantee the contractual performance of third parties such as joint venture partners. We had total outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and third-party guarantees aggregating $3.3 billion and $3.6$3.4 billion at September 27, 2020March 28, 2021 and December 31, 2019.2020. Third-party guarantees do not include guarantees issued on behalf of subsidiaries and other consolidated entities.
At September 27, 2020March 28, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, third-party guarantees totaled $846$867 million and $996$871 million, of which approximately 71%70% and 76%71% related to guarantees of contractual performance of joint ventures to which we currently are or previously were a party. These amounts represent our estimate of the maximum amounts we would expect to incur upon the contractual non-performance of the joint venture, joint venture partners or divested businesses. Generally, we also have cross-indemnities in place that may enable us to recover amounts that may be paid on behalf of a joint venture partner.
In determining our exposures, we evaluate the reputation, performance on contractual obligations, technical capabilities and credit quality of our current and former joint venture partners and the transferee under novation agreements all of which include a guarantee as required by the FAR. At September 27, 2020March 28, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, there were no material amounts recorded in our financial statements related to third-party guarantees or novation agreements.

The derivatives outstanding at both September 27, 2020March 28, 2021 and December 31, 20192020 consist of foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and foreign currency related contract embedded derivatives. We use derivative instruments principally to reduce our exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We do not enter into or hold derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes. We transact business globally and are subject to risks associated with changing foreign currency exchange rates. We enter into foreign currency hedges such as forward and option contracts that change in value as foreign currency exchange rates change. Our most significant foreign currency exposures relate to the British pound sterling, the euro, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar. These contracts hedge forecasted foreign currency transactions in order to mitigate fluctuations in our earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We designate foreign currency hedges as cash flow hedges. We also are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities.

Subsequent to our first quarter, upon final settlement of the ASR agreement on April 14, 2021, we received an additional 1.0 million shares of our common stock for $1.1 billion under repurchase plans pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Rule 10b5-1 plans) and an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement. Under the Rule 10b5-1 plans, we repurchased 1.6 million shares for $600 million. Pursuant to the ASR agreement, during the first half of 2020 we repurchased 1.4 million shares for $500 millionno additional consideration based on the average price paid per share of $348.69, calculated with reference to the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of our common stock over the term of the agreement, less a negotiated discount.
The total remaining authorization for future common share repurchases under our share repurchase program was $3.0$2.0 billion as of September 27, 2020, including a $1.3 billion increase to the program authorized by our Board of Directors on September 25, 2020.March 28, 2021. As we repurchase our common shares, we reduce common stock for the $1 of par value of the shares repurchased, with the excess purchase price over par value recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. If additional paid-in capital is reduced to zero, we record the remainder of the excess purchase price over par value as a reduction of retained earnings. During the three monthsquarter ended September 27, 2020,March 28, 2021, we repurchased $591.9 million of our common shares, which were recognized as a reduction to common stock for the par value with the excess purchase price recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.capital of $227 million and $771 million recorded as a reduction to retained earnings. During the quarter ended March 29, 2020, due to the volume of repurchases made under our share repurchase program, additional paid-in capital was reduced to zero, with the remainder of the excess purchase price over par value of $733 million recorded as a reduction to retained earnings.
Dividends

We declared cash dividends totaling
$725 million($2.60 per share) and $677 million ($2.40 per share) during the quarters ended March 28, 2021 and March 29, 2020. Dividends paid during the quarters ended March 28, 2021 and March 29, 2020 are higher than dividends declared due to dividend-equivalents paid to holders of RSUs and PSUs. These dividend-equivalents are accrued during the vesting period and are paid upon the vesting of the RSUs and PSUs which primarily occurs in the first quarter each year.
Restricted Stock Unit Grants
During the quarter ended March 28, 2021, we granted certain employees approximately 0.6 million RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $341.53 per RSU. The grant date fair value of these RSUs is equal to the

Dividends
We declared cash dividends totaling $730 million ($2.60 per share) and $2.8 billion ($9.80 per share) during the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2020. Dividends declared in the quarter ended September 27, 2020 represent our 2020 fourth quarter dividend payment, a per share increase of $0.20 over our 2020 third quarter dividend of $2.40 per share, which we declared in the second quarter of 2020. Our fourth quarter dividend will be paid in December 2020. We declared dividends totaling $679 million ($2.40 per share) and $2.6 billion ($9.00 per share) during the quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2019. During the quarter ended September 29, 2019, we declared our fourth quarter dividend of $2.40 per share, an increase of $0.20 over the third quarter 2019 dividend, which was declared during the second quarter of 2019.
Restricted Stock Unit Grants
During the nine months ended September 27, 2020, we granted certain employees approximately 0.5 million RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $384.06 per RSU. The grant date fair value of these RSUs is equal to the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date less a discount to reflect the delay in payment of dividend-equivalent cash payments that are made only upon vesting, which is generally three years from the grant date. We recognize the grant date fair value of RSUs, less estimated forfeitures, as compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is shorter than the vesting period if the employee is retirement eligible on the date of grant or will become retirement eligible before the end of the vesting period.

NOTE 10 –11 - OTHER
Changes in Estimates
Significant estimates and assumptions are made in estimating contract sales and costs, including the profit booking rate. At the outset of a long-term contract, we identify and monitor risks to the achievement of the technical, schedule and cost aspects of the contract, as well as variable consideration, and assess the effects of those risks on our estimates of sales and total costs to complete the contract. The estimates consider the technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product), the schedule and associated tasks (e.g., the number and type of milestone events) and costs (e.g., material, labor, subcontractor, overhead, general and administrative and the estimated costs to fulfill our industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset or localization agreements, required under certain contracts with international customers). The initial profit booking rate of each contract considers risks surrounding the ability to achieve the technical requirements, schedule and costs in the initial estimated total costs to complete the contract. Profit booking rates may increase during the performance of the contract if we successfully retire risks surrounding the technical, schedule and cost aspects of the contract, which decreases the estimated total costs to complete the contract or may increase the variable consideration we expect to receive on the contract. Conversely, our profit booking rates may decrease if the estimated total costs to complete the contract increase or our estimates of variable consideration we expect to receive decrease. All of the estimates are subject to change during the performance of the contract and may affect the profit booking rate. When estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total

estimates of the transaction price, a provision for the entire loss is determined at the contract level and is recorded in the period in which the loss is determined.
In addition, comparability of our segment sales, operating profit and operating margin may be impacted favorably or unfavorably by changes in profit booking rates on our contracts for which we recognize revenue over time using the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost method to measure progress towards completion. Increases in the profit booking rates, typically referred to as risk retirements, usually relate to revisions in the estimated total costs to fulfill the performance obligations that reflect improved conditions on a particular contract. Conversely, conditions on a particular contract may deteriorate, resulting in an increase in the estimated total costs to fulfill the performance obligations and a reduction in the profit booking rate. Increases or decreases in profit booking rates are recognized in the current period and reflect the inception-to-date effect of such changes. Segment operating profit and margin may also be impacted favorably or unfavorably by other items, which may or may not impact sales. Favorable items may include the positive resolution of contractual matters, cost recoveries on severance and restructuring charges, insurance recoveries and gains on sales of assets. Unfavorable items may include the adverse resolution of contractual matters; restructuring charges, except for significant severance actions, which are excluded from segment operating results; reserves for disputes; certain asset impairments; and losses on sales of certain assets.
Our consolidated net adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments and other matters, increased segment operating profit by approximately $415$495 million and $1.4 billion$465 million during the quarterquarters ended March 28, 2021 and nine months ended September 27, 2020 and $480 million and $1.5 billion during the quarter and nine months ended SeptemberMarch 29, 2019.2020. These adjustments increased net earnings by approximately $328$391 million ($1.171.40 per share) and $1.1 billion$367 million ($3.821.30 per share) during the quarterquarters ended March 28, 2021 and nine months ended September 27, 2020 and $379 million ($1.33 per share) and $1.2 billion ($4.07 per share) during the quarter and nine months ended SeptemberMarch 29, 2019.2020. We recognized net sales from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods of approximately $487$492 million and $1.5 billion$530 million during the quarterquarters ended March 28, 2021 and nine months ended September 27,March 29, 2020, and $495 million and $1.7 billion during the quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2019, which primarily relate to changes in profit booking rates that impacted revenue.
As previously disclosed in our 20192020 Form 10-K, we are responsible for a program to design, develop and construct a ground-based radar at our RMS business segment. The program has experienced performance issues for which we have periodically accrued reserves. As of September 27, 2020,March 28, 2021, cumulative losses wereremained at approximately $250 million on this program. We may continue to experience issues related to customer requirements and our performance under this contract and have to record additional charges. However, based on the losses previously recorded and our current estimate of the sales and costs to complete the program, at this time we do not anticipate that additional losses, if any, would be material to our operating results or financial condition.
As previously disclosed in our 20192020 Form 10-K, we have a program, EADGE-T, to design, integrate, and install an air missile defense command, control, communications, computers - intelligence (C4I) system for an international customer that has experienced performance issues and for which we have periodically accrued reserves at our RMS

business segment. As of September 27, 2020,March 28, 2021, cumulative losses remained at approximately $260 million. We continue to monitor program requirements and our performance. At this time, we do not anticipate additional charges that would be material to our operating results or financial condition.

As previously disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K, we have 2 commercial satellite programs at our Space business segment for which we have experienced performance issues related to the development and integration of a modernized LM 2100 satellite platform. These programs are for the delivery of 3 satellites in total, including 2 that launched in 2019 and 1 that launched in February 2020. As of September 27, 2020 cumulative losses to complete these developmental commercial programs remained at approximately $410 million. During the third quarter of 2020, we retired all significant remaining risk to the programs and as a result, we anticipate that no additional losses will be incurred.
As previously disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K, we are responsible for designing, developing and installing an upgraded turret for the Warrior Capability Sustainment Program. In 2018,Program (“WCSP”).

As of September 27, 2020,March 28, 2021, cumulative losses remained at approximately $140 million on this program. We may continue to experience issues related to customer requirements and our performance under this contract and may have to record additional reserves. However, based on the losses already recorded and our current estimate of the sales and costs to complete the program, at this time we do not anticipate that additional losses, if any, would be material to our operating results or financial condition.
Investment in Advanced Military Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul Center LLC (AMMROC)
As of September 27, 2020, we owned 40% of AMMROC, a joint venture located in the United Arab Emirates. We account for our investment in AMMROC using the equity method. AMMROC provides maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and support services for fixed and rotary wing military aircraft in the South Asia, Middle East and North Africa (SAMENA) region. To date, substantially all of AMMROC’s business was dependent on a single customer contract to provide performance based logistics (PBL) services that was in the process of being re-competed. During the first half of 2020, the customer awarded the contract to a competitor. As a result of the loss of this customer contract, we performed a strategic review of AMMROC’s business and evaluated various options for our investment. As a result of this evaluation, we executed an agreement to sell our investment in AMMROC to our joint venture partner for $307 million. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2020, we adjusted the carrying value of our investment from $435 million to the expected selling price of $307 million, which resulted in the recognition of a noncash impairment charge of $128 million ($96 million, or $0.34 per share, after tax) in our results of operations. The transaction, which is subject to closing conditions, is currently expected to close by early 2021 and the purchase price will be paid in cash installments through September 2021.
Backlog
Backlog (i.e., unfulfilled or remaining performance obligations) represents the sales we expect to recognize for our products and services for which control has not yet transferred to the customer. Our backlog includes both funded (firm orders for our products and services for which funding has been both authorized and appropriated by the customer) and unfunded (firm orders for which funding has not been appropriated) amounts. We do not include unexercised options or potential orders under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity agreements in our backlog. For our cost-reimbursable and fixed-priced-incentive contracts, the estimated consideration we expect to receive pursuant to the terms of the contract may exceed the contractual award amount. The estimated consideration is determined at the outset of the contract and is continuously reviewed throughout the contract period. In determining the estimated consideration, we consider the risks related to the technical, schedule and cost impacts to complete the contract and an estimate of any variable consideration.

Lockheed Martin Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Periodically, we review these risks and may increase or decrease backlog accordingly. As the risks on such contracts are successfully retired, the estimated consideration from customers may be reduced, resulting in a reduction of backlog without a corresponding recognition of sales. As of September 27, 2020,March 28, 2021, our ending backlog was $150.4$147.4 billion. We expect to recognize approximately 37%39% of our backlog over the next 12 months and approximately 61% over the next 24 months as revenue with the remainder recognized thereafter.
Lockheed Martin Ventures Fund
Through our Lockheed Martin Ventures Fund, we make strategic investments in certain early stage companies that we believe are advancing or developing new technologies applicable to our business. These investments may be in the form of common or preferred stock, convertible debt securities or investments in funds. Most of the investments are in equity securities without readily determinable fair values, which are measured initially at cost and are then adjusted to fair value only if there is an observable price change or reduced for impairment, if applicable. Investments with quoted market prices in active markets are recorded at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The carrying amounts of investments held in our Lockheed Martin Venture Fund were $243 million and $173 million at March 28, 2021 and December 31, 2020. During the quarter ended March 28, 2021, we recorded $68 million ($51 million, or $0.18 per share, after-tax) of unrealized gains in other non-operating income, net in our consolidated statements of earnings for changes in fair value.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate was 14.7%16.9% and 15.7%15.4% for the quarterquarters ended March 28, 2021 and nine months ended September 27, 2020, and 9.7% and 12.5%March 29, 2020.
The rate for the first quarter of 2021 is higher due to decreased tax deductions for employee equity awards compared to the first quarter of 2020. The rates for both periods benefited from tax deductions for foreign derived intangible income, the research and nine months ended September 29, 2019.development tax credit, and dividends paid to the corporation's defined contribution plans with an employee stock ownership plan feature.
On March 11, 2021, the President signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 into law which contained funding relief provisions affecting single-employer pension plans. We do not expect to make a pension contribution in 2021 as previously planned. The decision not to make the planned pension contribution had an immaterial impact on our income tax expense and effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 29, 2019 was lower primarily due toMarch 28, 2021. The American Rescue Plan Act also contains other provisions that do not have a $62material impact on our income tax expense and effective tax rate.

Severance and Restructuring Charges
During the quarter ended March 28, 2021, we recorded severance and restructuring charges of $36 million benefit,($28 million, or $0.22$0.10 per share, after-tax). As previously announced, the severance and restructuring charges are to close and consolidate certain facilities and reduce total workforce within our RMS business segment. The actions are being taken to better align RMS' organization and cost structure to improve the efficiency of additional tax deductions for 2018 attributable to foreign derived intangible income treatmentits operations and affordability of its products and services. Upon separation, terminated employees receive lump-sum severance payments primarily based on proposed tax regulations released on March 4, 2019, and a change in tax accounting method, reflecting a 2012 Courtyears of Federal Claims decision,service, the majority of which held thatare expected to be paid over the tax basis in certain assets should be increased and realized upon the assets' disposition.next several quarters.

The rates for all periods benefited from additional tax deductions based on proposed tax regulations released on March 4, 2019, which clarified that foreign military sales qualify for foreign derived intangible income treatment. On July 9, 2020, the U.S. Treasury Department issued final tax regulations related to foreign derived intangible income. The final tax regulations confirm foreign military sales qualify for foreign derived intangible income treatment. We continue to assess the other effects of the final regulations.
The rates for all periods also benefited from the research and development tax credit, dividends paid to the corporation's defined contribution plans with an employee stock ownership plan feature, and tax deductions for employee equity awards.
Net Loss on Discontinued Operations
During the third quarter of 2020, we recognized a $55 million ($0.20 per share) non-cash charge resulting from the resolution of certain tax matters related to the former IS&GS business divested in 2016.
May 2020 Debt Issuance
On May 20, 2020, we issued a total of $1.2 billion of senior unsecured notes, consisting of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 1.85% Notes due in 2030 (the “2030 Notes”) and $750 million aggregate principal amount of 2.80% Notes due in 2050 (the “2050 Notes” and, together with the 2030 Notes, the “Notes”). We may, at our option, redeem the Notes of any series in whole or in part at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed or an applicable “make-whole” amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
On June 16, 2020, we used the net proceeds from the offering plus cash on hand to redeem $750 million of the outstanding $1.25 billion in aggregate principal amount of our 2.50% Notes due in 2020, and $400 million of the outstanding $900 million in aggregate principal amount of our 3.35% Notes due in 2021 at their redemption price.
Sale of Customer Receivables
On occasion, our customers may seek deferred payment terms to purchase our products. In connection with these transactions, we may, at our customer’s request, enter into arrangements for the non-recourse sale of customer receivables to unrelated third-party financial institutions. For accounting purposes, these transactions are not discounted and are treated as a sale of receivables as we have no continuing involvement. The sale proceeds from the financial institutions are reflected in our operating cash flows on the statement of cash flows. We sold customer receivables of $160 million and $427 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2020 and $80 million and $280 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2019. There were 0 gains or losses related to sales of these receivables.
NOTE 11 –12 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED
In 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced that after 2021 it would no longercompel banks to submit the rates required to calculate the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates, which have been widely used as reference rates for various securities and financial contracts, including loans, debt and derivatives. This announcement indicates that the continuation of LIBOR on the current basis is not guaranteed after 2021. Subsequently in March 2021, the FCA announced some USD LIBOR tenors (overnight, 1 month, 3 month, 6 month and 12 month) will continue to be published until June 30, 2023. Regulators in the U.S. and other jurisdictions have been working to replace these rates with alternative reference interest rates that are supported by transactions in liquid and observable markets, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). Currently, our credit facility and certain of our debt and derivative instruments reference LIBOR-based rates. The discontinuation of LIBOR will require these arrangements to be modified in order to replace LIBOR with an alternative reference interest rate, which could impact our future cost of funds.rate. Our credit facility includes a provision for the determination of a successor LIBOR rate.

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Lockheed Martin Corporation (the Corporation) as of September 27, 2020March 28, 2021, the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, cash flows and equity for the quarters ended March 28, 2021 and nine months ended September 27,March 29, 2020 and September 29, 2019 and consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 27, 2020 and September 29, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Corporation as of December 31, 2019,2020, the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, cash flows and equity for the year then ended, and the related notes (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 7, 2020,January 28, 2021, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019,2020, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Corporation in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial statements 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 standards of the PCAOB, 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.

COVID-19
The global outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared aCOVID-19 pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. Government in March 2020 and has negatively affected the U.S. and global economies, disrupted global supply chains, resulted incontinues to present significant travel and transport restrictions, including mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place” and quarantine restrictions, and created significant disruption of the financial markets. We have taken measures to protect the health and safety of our employees, work with our customers and suppliers to minimize disruptions and support our community in addressing the challenges posed by this ongoing global pandemic. The pandemic has presented unprecedented business challenges andin 2021. During the first quarter of 2021, we have experiencedcontinued to experience impacts in each of our business areas related to COVID-19, primarily in continued increased coronavirus-related costs, delays in supplier deliveries, impacts of travel restrictions, site access and quarantine requirements,restrictions, and the impacts of remote work and adjusted work schedules.
Despite these challenges, Lockheed Martin During the first quarter, we continued to take measures to protect the health and safety of our employees, including measures to facilitate the provision of vaccines to our employees in line with state and local guidelines. We also continued to work with our customers and suppliers to minimize disruptions, including using accelerated progress payments from the U.S. Government’s pro-active efforts, especially with regardGovernment plus cash on hand to accelerate $1.4 billion of payments to our suppliers during the supply chain, helped to partially mitigatefirst quarter of 2021 that are due by their terms in future periods.
Although the disruptions caused by COVID-19 on our operations in the third quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2020. In addition, favorable contract award timing, strong operational performance and lower travel and overhead expenditures due to COVID-19 restrictions partially offset the impacts of COVID-19pandemic did not have a significant impact on our financial results in the first nine monthsquarter of 2020. However,2021, the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our operations and financial performance in 2020 and in future periods, including our ability to execute our programs in the expected timeframe, remains uncertain and will depend on future pandemic related developments, including the duration of the pandemic, and any potential subsequent waves of COVID-19 infection, the effectiveness, distribution and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines, and related government actions to prevent and manage disease spread, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. The long-term impacts of COVID-19 on government budgets and other funding priorities, including international priorities, that impact demand for our products and services and our business are also difficult to predict but could negatively affect our future results ofand business operations. For additional risks to the corporation related to the COVID-19 pandemic, see “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
In accordance with the Department of Homeland Security’s identification of the Defense Industrial Base as a critical infrastructure sector in March 2020, our U.S. production facilities have continued to operate in support of essential products and services required to meet national security commitments to the U.S. Government and the U.S. military. Although we are designated as a critical infrastructure workforce, operations have been adjusted in response to the pandemic, including, most significantly, a reduction in the F-35 production rate primarily due to supplier delays. The reduction is expected to delay 2020 F-35 deliveries by 18-24 aircraft. Due to the supplier delays, we implemented a temporary schedule adjustment for the F-35 production workforce in Fort Worth, Texas. While the F-35 production workforce resumed their pre-COVID-19 work schedule in the third quarter, staffing levels at our facilities, our customer facilities, and our supplier facilities have and could continue to fluctuate as a result of COVID-19, which could negatively impact our business. In addition, countries other than the U.S. have different responses to the pandemic that can affect our international operations and the operations of our suppliers and customers. Base closures, travel restrictions, and quarantine requirements both within and outside the U.S. have affected our normal operations and resulted in some schedule delays and future or prolonged occurrences of these could adversely affect our ability to achieve future contract milestones and our results of operations.
The U.S. Government has taken actions in response to COVID-19 to increase the progress payment rates in new and existing contracts and accelerate contract awards to provide cash flow and liquidity for companies in the Defense Industrial Base, including large prime contractors like Lockheed Martin and smaller suppliers. We continue to proactively

monitor our supply chain and have implemented multiple actions to help mitigate the effects of COVID-19, including accelerating payments to suppliers within our global supply base as a result of the actions taken by the DoD in changing the progress payment policy. We plan to continue to accelerate payments to the supply chain for the remainder of the year in order to mitigate COVID-19 risks, prioritizing impacted suppliers and small businesses. As described in Item 1A, Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K we rely on other companies andfor the U.S. Government to provide materials, major components and products, and to perform a portion of the services that are provided to our customers under the terms of most of our contracts. Many of these suppliers also supply parts for commercial aviation businesses which have been more significantly impacted by the pandemic due to the impacts on these markets. Global supply chain disruption caused by the response to COVID-19 has impacted some of our programs and could impact our ability to perform on our contracts. We have identified a number of suppliers that have had potential delivery impacts due to COVID-19 and are working to manage those impacts. However, if we are not able to implement alternatives or other mitigations, deliveries and other milestones on affected programs could be adversely impacted.year ended December 31, 2020 (2020 Form 10-K).
Our work in production facilities and labs has continued throughout the pandemic, consistent with guidance from federal, state and local officials to minimize the spread of COVID-19. We have taken actions to equip employees with personal protective equipment, establish minimum staffing and social distancing policies, sanitize workspaces more frequently, adopt alternate work schedules and institute other measures aimed to sustain production and related services while minimizing the transmission of COVID-19. In addition, we have implemented a flexible teleworking policy for employees who can meet our customer commitments remotely, and a significant portion of our workforce is currently teleworking. It remains uncertain when and on what scale teleworking employees will return to work in person. We have not previously experienced such a significant portion of our workforce working remotely for a prolonged period, so its effects on our long-term operations are unknown.
Coronavirus-related costs for us and our suppliers are significant and we are seeking reimbursement of coronavirus-related costs under our U.S. Government contracts through a combination of equitable adjustments to the contract price and reimbursement of the costs under Section 3610 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), which allows federal agencies to reimburse contractors at the minimum applicable contract billing rate for costs arising from certain paid leave, including sick leave, a contractor provides to keep its employees or subcontractors in a ready state, as well as to protect the life and safety of government and contractor personnel from March 27, 2020 through December 11, 2020. Reimbursement of any costs under Section 3610 of the CARES Act increases sales, but is not expected to be at a profit or fee and so would have the effect of reducing our margins in future periods. These cost increases, including costs for employees whose jobs cannot be performed remotely and for certain costs incurred prior to March 27, 2020, may not be fully recoverable under our contracts, particularly fixed-price contracts, or adequately covered by insurance. We also have no assurance that Congress will appropriate funds to cover the reimbursement of defense contractors authorized by the CARES Act, which could reduce funds available for other U.S. Government defense priorities. We also are deferring certain payroll taxes as provided for in the CARES Act, which has the effect of increasing our cash from operations in 2020, but reducing cash from operations in 2021 and 2022.
We continue to work with our customers, employees, suppliers and communities to address the impacts of COVID-19 and to take actions in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences.

2020 Financial Outlook
We expect our 20202021 net sales to increase to approximately $65.3 billion.in the mid-single digit range from 2020 levels. The projected growth in net sales from 2020 is driven by the F-35, programF-16 and classified programs at Aeronautics, increased production rate volume in the tactical and strike missiles andwithin integrated air and missile defense businessesprograms at MFC, increased volume on Sikorsky volumehelicopter program and training and logistics solutions programs at RMS, and Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared (Next Gen OPIR) and hypersonics volume (including the acquisition of Integration Innovation Inc.’s (i3) hypersonics portfolio) at Space. Total business segment operating profit margin in 20202021 is expected to be approximately 10.9%11.0%; and we have increased cash from operations is expected to be greater than or equal to $8.0 billion. Changes in circumstances may require us to revise our assumptions, which could materially change our current estimate of 2020 net sales, operating margin and cash flows.
Given our current position and expectations for the remainder of 2020, we are updating our 2020 guidance as described above to reflect the recent performance across all four business areas. However, the ultimate impact of COVID-19 in future periods remains uncertain. Our 2020 outlook and 2021 financial trends discussed below assume, among other things, that our production facilities continue to operate and we do not experience significant work stoppages or closures, we are able to mitigate any supply chain disruptions and these do not worsen, and we are able to recover our costs under U.S. Government contracts and government funding priorities do not change. While these are our current assumptions for our 2020 outlook, they could change as described above. Risk related to these items are described above and under Item 1A, Risk Factors.

On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA), which eased funding rules for single-employer defined benefit pension plans by extending the amortization of funding shortfalls and enhancing interest rate stabilization, among many other stimulus measures. Plan sponsors can spread (amortize) contributions required to pay for plan underfunding. ARPA lowers the minimum required contributions by “restarting” and extending the amortization period from seven to fifteen years. ARPA also adjusts and extends the pension funding interest rate relief from prior legislation that was to begin phasing out. The legislation effectively stabilizes (or raises) interest rates used to calculate required funding contributions and provides temporary funding relief due to the historically low interest rate environment. We also use the stabilized interest rates to determine our CAS pension costs. Plan sponsors can adopt the legislation as of 2020, 2021, or 2022. We will adopt the funding amortization change as of 2020 and the interest rate stabilization as of 2022. The lower pension contributions will be partially offset by lower tax deductions. We are currently analyzing the impacts to the business areas but expect the legislation will result in lower sales, increased segment operating profit, reduced FAS / CAS adjustment and net income, and improved cash flow in future years than if the legislation had not been enacted.
Changes in circumstances may require us to revise our assumptions, which could materially change our current estimate of 2021 net sales, operating margin and cash flows.
We currently expect a total net FAS/CAS pension benefit of approximately $2.1 billion in 2021. This estimate assumes a 2.50% discount rate (a 75 basis point decrease from the end of 2019), a 7.00% return on plan assets in 2020, and a 7.00% expected long-term rate of return on plan assets in future years, among other assumptions. A change of plus or minus 25 basis points to the assumed discount rate, with all other assumptions held constant, would result in an incremental increase or decrease of approximately $15 million to the estimated net 2021 FAS/CAS pension benefit. A change of plus or minus 100 basis points to the return on plan assets in 2020 only, with all other assumptions held constant, would result in an incremental increase or decrease of approximately $15 million to the estimated net 2021 FAS/CAS pension benefit. We expect to make contributions of approximately $1.0 billion to our qualified defined benefit pension plans in 2021 and anticipate recovering approximately $2.1 billion of CAS pension cost. We will complete the annual remeasurement of our postretirement benefit plans and update our estimated 2021 FAS/CAS pension adjustment on December 31, 2020. The final assumptions and actual investment return for 2020 may differ materially from those discussed above.
The following discussion is a supplement to and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and with our Annual Report on2020 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (2019 Form 10-K).10-K.
INDUSTRY CONSIDERATIONS
U.S. Government Funding
On February 10, 2020, the Administration submitted the fiscalThe U.S. Government is operating with a full year (FY) 2021 President’s Budget, requesting $1.34 trillionappropriation which provided $741 billion in total discretionary funding (a U.S. Government fiscal year starts on October 1for national defense (includes Department of Defense (DoD) funding and ends on September 30). The FY 2021 budget requestsdefense-related spending in energy and water development, homeland security, and military construction appropriations), of which $672 billion foris in base funding and $69 billion is Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO)/emergency funding (OCO and emergency supplemental funding do not count toward discretionary national defense spending caps). Of the maximum permitted under$741 billion, the DoD was allocated $704 billion, composed of $635 billion in base funding and $69 billion in OCO and emergency funding. The appropriations adhere to the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019 (BBA-19). The total national(BBA 2019), which increased the spending limits for both defense request is $741 billion, which includes $69 billion requested for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO). OCO funding does not count towardand non-defense discretionary spending caps. 
The FY 2021 budget requests $705 billionfunds for the DoD, including $636 billion for the base budgetfinal two years (FY 2020 and $69 billion for OCO. The DoD request is only $800 million above the FY 2020 enacted level for both base national defense spending and OCO. 
Between March and July 2020, Congress enacted eight pieces of legislation related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic impacts, authorizing roughly $3.7 trillion of fiscal support. The CARES Act, signed by the President on March 27, 2020, provided relief aimed at helping American workers and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill included $10.4 billion for DoD to fund COVID-19 response related expenses in defense health programs, operations, and the Defense Procurement Act fund. The funding is identified as emergency and is exempt from the discretionary spending limits2021) of the Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA).
On October 1, 2020,March 11, 2021, the President signed a continuing resolutionthe American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 into law. The legislation provides additional relief to continueaddress the continued impact of COVID-19 on the economy, public health, state and local governments, individuals, and businesses. The legislation also contains funding federal agencies at FY 2020 levels until December 11, 2020. Unless specifically exempted, under a continuing resolution there can be no new program starts or increasesrelief provisions affecting single-employer pension plans (see further discussion in procurement quantities. Under the continuing resolution,“Financial Condition” below). Additionally, it extends Section 3610 of the CARES Act through September 2021, which was passed on March 27, 2020gives the DoD and federal agencies discretion to provide authorizationreimburse contractors for federal contractorsany paid leave, including sick leave, a contractor provides during the pandemic to continue to support government initiatives despite COVID-19 disruption, was also extended through December 11, 2020. U.S. Government agencies may be subject tokeep its employees in a government shutdown if new appropriations are not passed prior toready state.
On April 9, 2021, the expirationPresident released his initial discretionary funding request for FY 2022. The document outlines the Biden administration’s discretionary funding priorities, including the discretionary topline requests for the DOD and other agencies. The request includes $715 billion in discretionary funding for the DoD. The proposed funding level for the DoD is approximately $11 billion above the enacted amount for FY 2021. The President’s full budget release is expected later this spring and will include his full agenda of the current continuing resolution.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our operating cycle is primarily long-term and involves many types of contracts for the design, development and manufacture of products and related activities with varying delivery schedules. Consequently, the results of operations of a particular period, or period-to-period comparisons of sales and profits, may not be indicative of future operating results. The following discussions of comparative results among periods should be reviewed in this context. All per share amounts cited in these discussions are presented on a “per diluted share” basis, unless otherwise noted.

Under the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost method, we record net sales on contracts over time based upon our progress towards completion on a particular contract, as well as our estimate of the profit to be earned at completion. The following discussion of material changes in our consolidated net sales should be read in tandem with the subsequent discussion of changes in our consolidated cost of sales and our business segment results of operations because changes in our sales are typically accompanied by a corresponding change in our cost of sales due to the nature of the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost method.
Product Sales
Product sales increased $1.1 billion,$587 million, or 9%4%, during the quarter ended September 27, 2020March 28, 2021 compared to the same period in 2019.2020. The increase in product sales was primarily due to higher product sales of approximately $440$315 million at RMS, $135 million at MFC $400and $115 million at Aeronautics, $160 million at Space and $135 million at RMS. The increase in product sales at MFC was primarily due to increased volume for tactical and strike missile programs (primarily Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) and High-Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS)) and increased volume for integrated air and missile defense programs (primarily Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD)). The increase in product sales at Aeronautics was primarily due to higher production volume for the F-35 program and classified development contracts. The increase in product sales at Space was primarily due to higher volume for government satellite programs (primarily Next Gen OPIR) and strategic and missile defense programs (primarily hypersonic development programs).Space. The increase in product sales at RMS was primarily due to higher net sales for training and logistics solutions programs due to the delivery of an international pilot training system, and higher

volume for Sikorsky helicopter programs (primarily SeahawkVH-92A, CH-53K, and VH-92ACombat Rescue Helicopter (CRH) production contracts). These increases in product sales at RMS were partially offset by decreases for various C6ISR (command, control, communications, computers, cyber, combat systems, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) programs due to lower volume; and for integrated warfare systems and sensors (IWSS) programs (primarilydue to lower volume on the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) program and the TPQ-53 program, that was partially offset by higher volume on the Canadian Surface Combatant and Aegis Combat System (Aegis)), partially offset by lower volume on Littoral Combat Ship (LCS).
Product sales increased $3.9 billion, or 11%, during the nine months ended September 27, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in product sales was primarily due to higher product sales of approximately $1.8 billion at Aeronautics, $1.3 billion at MFC, $550 million at Space and $300 million at RMS.

Service Sales
Service sales increased $183$20 million, or 7%1%, during the quarter ended September 27, 2020March 28, 2021 compared to the same period in 2019.2020. The increase in service sales was primarily due to higher sales of approximately $155 million at RMS and $100 million at Aeronautics, partially offset by lower sales of $70 million at MFC. The increase in service sales at RMS was primarily due to higher volume for Sikorsky helicopter programs (primarily a Seahawk sustainment program) and various training and logistics solutions (TLS) programs. The increase in service sales at Aeronautics was primarily due to higher sustainment volume for the F-35, F-22 and F-16 programs. The decrease in service sales at MFC was primarily

Service sales increased $526 million, or 7%, during the nine months ended September 27, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in service sales was primarily due to higher sales of approximately $445 million at Aeronautics and $245$45 million at RMS, partially offset by lower sales of $230$15 million at MFC. The increase in service sales at Aeronautics was primarily due to higher sustainment volume for the F-35, F-22 and F-16 programs. The increase in service sales at RMS was primarily due to higher volume for Sikorsky helicopter programs (primarily a Seahawk sustainment program) and various TLS programs. The decrease in service sales at MFC was primarily due to lower volume on energy programs due to the divestiture of the Distributed Energy Solutions business and sensors and global sustainment programs (primarily Apache sensors program and Special Operations Forces Global Logistics Support Services (SOF GLSS)).Space.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales, for both products and services, consist of materials, labor, subcontracting costs and an allocation of indirect costs (overhead and general and administrative), as well as the costs to fulfill our industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset agreements, required under certain contracts with international customers. For each of our contracts, we monitor the nature and amount of costs at the contract level, which form the basis for estimating our total costs to complete the contract. Our consolidated cost of sales were as follows (in millions):

The following discussion of material changes in our consolidated cost of sales for products and services should be read in tandem with the preceding discussion of changes in our consolidated net sales and our business segment results of operations. Except for impacts of COVID-19; potential impacts to our programs including the F-35 program, resulting from U.S. Government actions related to Turkey; and projected FAS pension income in 2020 as a result of completing the planned freeze of our salaried pension plans effective January 1, 2020,COVID-19, we have not identified any additional developing trends in cost of sales for products and services that would have a material impact on our future operations (see “Other Matters” discussion below for further discussion).
Product Costs
Product costs increased $1.0 billion,$539 million, or 9%5%, during the quarter ended September 27, 2020March 28, 2021 compared to the same period in 2019.2020.

Product costs increased $3.6 billion, or 11%, during the nine months ended September 27, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in product costs was primarily due to higher product costs of approximately $1.6 billion at Aeronautics, $1.1 billion at MFC and $610 million at Space. The increase in product costs at Aeronautics was primarily due to higher production volume for the F-35 program and classified contracts.

Service Costs
Service costs increased $152$17 million, or 7%1%, during the quarter ended September 27, 2020March 28, 2021 compared to the same period in 2019.2020. The increase in service costs was primarily due to higher service costs of approximately $125 million at RMS and $85 million at Aeronautics, partially offset by lower service costs of approximately $60 million at MFC. The increase in service costs at RMS was primarily due to higher volume for Sikorsky helicopter programs (primarily a Seahawk sustainment program) and various TLS programs. The increase in service costs at Aeronautics was primarily due to higher sustainment volume for the F-35, F-22 and F-16 programs. The decrease in service costs at MFC was primarily due to lower volume on energy programs due to the divestiture of the Distributed Energy Solutions business.
Service costs increased $463 million, or 7%, during the nine months ended September 27, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in service costs was primarily due to higher service costs of approximately $395 million at Aeronautics and $160$35 million at RMS, partially offset by lower service costs of approximately $160$10 million at MFC.Space.
Severance and Restructuring Charges
During the quarter endedMarch 28, 2021, we recorded severance and restructuring charges of $36 million ($28 million, or $0.10 per share, after-tax). As previously announced, the severance and restructuring charges are to close and consolidate certain facilities and reduce total workforce within our RMS business segment. The increase inactions are being taken to better align RMS' organization and cost structure to improve the efficiency of its operations and affordability of its products and services. Upon separation, terminated employees receive lump-sum severance payments primarily based on years of service, costs at RMS was primarily duethe majority of which are expected to higher volume for Sikorsky helicopter programs (primarily a Seahawk sustainment program). The increase in service costs at Aeronautics was primarily due to higher sustainment volume forbe paid over the F-35, F-22 and F-16 programs. The decrease in service costs at MFC was primarily due to lower volume on energy programs due to the divestiture of the Distributed Energy Solutions business next several quarters.and sensors and global sustainment programs (primarily Apache sensors program and SOF GLSS).
Other Unallocated, Net
Other unallocated, net primarily includes the FAS/CAS operating adjustment (which represents the difference between cost accounting standards (CAS) pension cost recorded in our business segment’s results of operations and the service cost component of FAS pension income (expense))income), stock-based compensation expense and other corporate costs. These items are not allocated to the business segments and, therefore, are not allocated to cost of sales for products or services. Other unallocated, net reduced cost of sales by $374$475 million and $1.2 billion during the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2020,March 28, 2021, compared to $442$395 million and $1.4 billion during the quarter and nine months ended SeptemberMarch 29, 2019.2020. Other unallocated, net during the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2020March 28, 2021 was lowerhigher primarily due to a decreaselower market declines that reduced the fair market value of certain investment assets during the quarter ended March 28, 2021 compared to the quarter ended March 29, 2020 and fluctuations in our FAS/CAS operating adjustment (see “Business Segment Resultscosts associated with various corporate items, none of Operations” discussion below for more detail).which were individually significant.
Other (Expense)(expense) Income, Net
Other income,expense, net during the quarter ended September 27, 2020,March 28, 2021, was $11 million and other expense, net during the nine months ended September 27, 2020 was $85$4 million, compared to other income, net of $42 million and $152$31 million during the quarter and nine months ended SeptemberMarch 29, 2019.2020. Other expense, net during the nine monthsquarter ended September 27,March 29, 2020, included a non-cash asset impairment charge of $128 million ($96 million, or $0.34 per share, after tax) recognized in the second quarter of 2020 for our internationallower earnings generated by equity method investee, Advanced Military Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul Center LLC (AMMROC). Other income, net during the nine months ended September 29, 2019, included a previously deferred gain of approximately $51 million ($38 million, or $0.13 per share, after tax) related to properties sold in 2015 as a result of completing our remaining obligations.
As of September 27, 2020, we owned 40% of AMMROC, a joint venture located in the United Arab Emirates. We account for our investment in AMMROC using the equity method. AMMROC provides maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and support services for fixed and rotary wing military aircraft in the South Asia, Middle East and North Africa (SAMENA) region. To date, substantially all of AMMROC’s business was dependent on a single customer contract to provide performance based logistics (PBL) services that was in the process of being re-competed. During the first half of 2020, the customer awarded the contract to a competitor. As a result of the loss of this customer contract, we performed a strategic review of AMMROC’s business and evaluated various options for our investment. As a result of this evaluation, we executed an agreement to sell our investment in AMMROC to our joint venture partner for $307 million. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2020, we adjusted the carrying value of our investment from $435 million to the expected selling price of $307 million, which resulted in the recognition of a noncash impairment charge of $128 million ($96 million, or $0.34 per share, after tax) in our results of operations. The transaction, which is subject to closing conditions, is currently expected to close by early 2021 and the purchase price will be paid in cash installments through September 2021.

Other Non-operating Income, (Expense), Net
Other non-operating income, (expense), net primarily includes the non-service cost components of FAS pension and other postretirement benefit plan income (expense)expense (i.e., interest cost, expected return on plan assets, net actuarial gains or losses, and amortization of prior service cost or credits)., and changes in fair value using the measurement alternative on equity investments. During the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2020,March 28, 2021, other non-operating income, net was $54 million and $135$169 million, compared to other non-operating expense, net of $162 million and $491$56 million during the quarter and nine months ended SeptemberMarch 29, 2019.2020. The increase during the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2020March 28, 2021 was primarily due to a reductionunrealized gains from investments held in our Lockheed Martin Ventures Fund and an increase in non-service FAS pension expenseincome for our qualified defined benefit pension plans.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective income tax rate was 14.7% 16.9%and 15.7%15.4% for the quarterquarters endedMarch 28, 2021 and nine months ended September 27,March 29, 2020 and 9.7% and 12.5% for the quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2019. .

On July 9, 2020, the U.S. Treasury Department issued final tax regulations related to foreign derived intangible income. The final tax regulations confirm foreign military sales qualify for foreign derived intangible income treatment. We continue to assess the other effects of the final regulations.
The rates for all periods also benefited from the research and development tax credit, and dividends paid to the corporation's defined contribution plans with an employee stock ownership plan feature, and tax deductions for employee equity awards.feature.
On March 27, 2020,11, 2021, the President Trump signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 into law which contained funding relief provisions affecting single-employer pension plans.

The decision not to make the CARESplanned pension contribution had an immaterial impact on our income tax expense and effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 28, 2021.

Changes in U.S. federal(federal or state) or foreign tax laws and regulations, or their interpretation and application, including those with retroactive effect, including the amortization for research or experimental expenditures, could significantly impact our provision for income taxes, the amount of taxes payable, our deferred tax asset and liability balances, and stockholders’ equity. Recent proposals to increase the U.S. corporate income tax rate would require us to increase our net deferred tax assets upon enactment of new tax legislation, with a corresponding material, one-time, non-cash decrease in income tax expense, but our income tax expense and payments would be materially increased in subsequent years. Our net deferred tax assets were $3.4 billion and $3.5 billion at March 28, 2021 and December 31, 2020, based on a 21% federal statutory income tax rate, and primarily relate to our postretirement benefit plans. If legislation increasing the federal statutory income tax rate to 28% had been enacted at March 28, 2021, our net deferred tax assets would have been increased by $1.1 billion and we would have recorded a corresponding one-time, non-cash increase in income tax benefit of $1.1 billion. The amount of net deferred tax assets will change periodically based on several factors, including the measurement of our postretirement benefit plan obligations and actual cash contributions to our postretirement benefit plans.
Beginning in 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminates the option to deduct research and development expenditures currently and requires taxpayers to amortize them over five years. While it is possible that Congress may modify or repeal this provision before it takes effect and we continue to have ongoing discussions with members of Congress, both on our own and with other industries through coalitions, we have no assurance that these provisions will be modified or repealed. Furthermore, we are continuing to work with our advisors to refine our legal interpretation of this provision prior to implementation in 2022. If these provisions are not repealed and based on current interpretations of the law, initially this would materially decrease our cash from operations based on current assumptions in 2022 by approximately $2.0 billion; and increase our net deferred tax assets by a similar amount. The largest impact would be on 2022 cash from operations, which would depend on the amount of research and development expenses paid or incurred in 2022 and other factors. The impact, however, would continue over the five year amortization period but would decrease over the period and be immaterial in year six. The amount of net deferred tax assets will change periodically based on several factors, including the measurement of our postretirement benefit plan obligations, actual cash contributions to our postretirement benefit plans, and future changes in tax laws. In addition, we are regularly under audit or examination by tax authorities, including foreign tax authorities (including in, amongst others, Australia, Canada, India, Italy, Japan, Poland, and the United Kingdom). The final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could similarly result in unanticipated increases in our tax expense and affect profitability and cash flows.
Net Earnings from Continuing Operations
We reported net earnings from continuing operations of $1.8 billion ($6.25 per share) and $5.1 billion ($18.126.56 per share) during the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2020,March 28, 2021, compared to $1.6$1.7 billion ($5.66 per share) and $4.7 billion ($16.666.08 per share) during the quarter and nine months ended SeptemberMarch 29, 2019.2020. Both net earnings and earnings per share were affected by the factors mentioned above. Earnings per share also benefited from a net decrease of approximately 2.51.6 million shares outstanding from SeptemberMarch 29, 20192020 to September 27, 2020March 28, 2021 as a result of share repurchases, partially offset by share issuance under our stock-based awards and certain defined contribution plans.
Net Loss from Discontinued Operations
During the third quarter of 2020, we recognized a $55 million ($0.20 per share) non-cash charge resulting from the resolution of certain tax matters related to the former Information Systems & Global Solutions business divested in 2016.

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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.
Net sales and operating profit of our business segments exclude intersegment sales, cost of sales, and profit 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 excludes the FAS/CAS pension operating adjustment, described below, a portion of corporate costs not considered allowable or allocable to contracts with the U.S. Government under the applicable U.S. governmentGovernment cost accounting standards (CAS) or federal acquisition regulations (FAR), and other items not considered part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance such as a portion of management and administration costs, legal fees and settlements, environmental costs, stock-based compensation expense, retiree benefits, significant severance actions, significant asset impairments, gains or losses from significant divestitures, and other miscellaneous corporate activities.
Excluded items are included in the reconciling item “Unallocated items” between operating profit from our business segments and our consolidated operating profit. See “Note 10 –11 - Other” included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial

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.

Management evaluates performance on our contracts by focusing on net sales and operating profit and not by type or amount of operating expense. Consequently, our discussion of business segment performance focuses on net sales and operating profit, consistent with our approach for managing the business. This approach is consistent throughout the life cycle of our contracts, as management assesses the bidding of each contract by focusing on net sales and operating profit and monitors performance on our contracts in a similar manner through their completion.
We regularly provide customers with reports of our costs as the contract progresses. The cost information in the reports is accumulated in a manner specified by the requirements of each contract. For example, cost data provided to a customer for a product would typically align to the subcomponents of that product (such as a wing-box on an aircraft) and for services would align to the type of work being performed (such as aircraft sustainment). Our contracts generally allow for the recovery of costs in the pricing of our products and services. Most of our contracts are bid and negotiated with our customers under circumstances in which we are required to disclose our estimated total costs to provide the product or service. This approach for negotiating contracts with our U.S. Government customers generally allows for recovery of our actual costs plus a reasonable profit margin. We also may enter into long-term supply contracts for certain materials or components to coincide with the production schedule of certain products and to ensure their availability at known unit prices.
Many of our contracts span several years and include highly complex technical requirements. At the outset of a contract, we identify and monitor risks to the achievement of the technical, schedule and cost aspects of the contract and assess the effects of those risks on our estimates of total costs to complete the contract. The estimates consider the technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product), the schedule and associated tasks (e.g., the number and type of milestone events) and costs (e.g., material, labor, subcontractor, overhead and the estimated costs to fulfill our industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset agreements, required under certain contracts with international customers). The initial profit booking rate of each contract considers risks surrounding the ability to achieve the technical requirements, schedule and costs in the initial estimated total costs to complete the contract. Profit booking rates may increase during the performance of the contract if we successfully retire risks surroundingrelated to the technical, schedule and cost aspects of the contract, which decreases the estimated total costs to complete the contract. Conversely, our profit booking rates may decrease if the estimated total costs to complete the

contract increase. All of the estimates are subject to change during the performance of the contract and may affect the profit booking rate.
We have a number of programs that are designated as classified by the U.S. Government which cannot be specifically described. The operating results of these classified programs are included in our consolidated and business segment results and are subjected to the same oversight and internal controls as our other programs.
Our net sales are primarily derived from long-term contracts for products and services provided to the U.S. Government as well as FMS contracted through the U.S. Government. We recognize revenue as performance obligations

Table of Contents

are satisfied and the customer obtains control of the products and services. For performance obligations to deliver products with continuous transfer of control to the customer, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation, generally using the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost measure of progress for our contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer as we incur costs on our contracts. For performance obligations in which control does not continuously transfer to the customer, we recognize revenue at the point in time in which each performance obligation is fully satisfied.
Changes in net sales and operating profit generally are expressed in terms of volume. Changes in volume refer to increases or decreases in sales or operating profit resulting from varying production activity levels, deliveries or service levels on individual contracts. Volume changes in segment operating profit are typically based on the current profit booking rate for a particular contract.
In addition, comparability of our segment sales, operating profit and operating margin may be impacted favorably or unfavorably by changes in profit booking rates on our contracts for which we recognize revenue over time using the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost method to measure progress towards completion. Increases in the profit booking rates, typically referred to as risk retirements, usually relate to revisions in the estimated total costs to fulfill the performance obligations that reflect improved conditions on a particular contract. Conversely, conditions on a particular contract may deteriorate, resulting in an increase in the estimated total costs to fulfill the performance obligations and a reduction in the profit booking rate. Increases or decreases in profit booking rates are recognized in the current period and reflect the inception-to-date effect of such changes. Segment operating profit and margin may also be impacted favorably or unfavorably by other items, which may or may not impact sales. Favorable items may include the positive resolution of contractual matters, cost recoveries on severance and restructuring charges, insurance recoveries and gains on sales of assets. Unfavorable items may include the adverse resolution of contractual matters; restructuring charges, except for significant severance actions, which are excluded from segment operating results; reserves for disputes; certain asset impairments; and losses on sales of certain assets.
As previously disclosed in our 20192020 Form 10-K, we are responsible for a program to design, develop and construct a ground-based radar at our RMS business segment. The program has experienced performance issues for which we have periodically accrued reserves. As of September 27, 2020,March 28, 2021, cumulative losses wereremained at approximately $250 million on this program. We may continue to experience issues related to customer requirements and our performance under this contract and have to record additional charges. However, based on the losses previously recorded and our current estimate of the sales and costs to complete the program, at this time we do not anticipate that additional losses, if any, would be material to our operating results or financial condition.
As previously disclosed in our 20192020 Form 10-K, we have a program, EADGE-T, to design, integrate, and install an air missile defense command, control, communications, computers - intelligence (C4I) system for an international customer that has experienced performance issues and for which we have periodically accrued reserves at our RMS business segment. As of September 27, 2020,March 28, 2021, cumulative losses remained at approximately $260 million. We continue to monitor program requirements and our performance. At this time, we do not anticipate additional charges that would be material to our operating results or financial condition.

As previously disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K, we have two commercial satellite programs at our Space business segment for which we have experienced performance issues related to the development and integration of a modernized LM 2100 satellite platform. These programs are for the delivery of three satellites in total, including two that launched in 2019 and one that launched in February 2020. As of September 27, 2020 cumulative losses to complete these developmental commercial programs remained at approximately $410 million. During the third quarter of 2020, we retired all significant remaining risk to the programs and as a result, we anticipate that no additional losses will be incurred.

As of September 27, 2020,March 28, 2021, we had a cash balance of $3.6$2.9 billion and no borrowings outstanding under our $2.5 billion revolving credit facility (the credit facility), which is also available for borrowings in the event of a lack of short-term commercial paper availability. To date, the effects of COVID-19 have not had a significant negative impact on our liquidity, cash flows or capital resources. Actions taken bySince the pandemic began, Lockheed Martin has remained committed to flowing down the benefits received inception-to-date from the U.S. Government’s modification of progress payment rate to our supply chain partners. Through the first quarter of 2021, the company has received approximately $1.3 billion of net accelerated progress payments, the majority of which were in 2020. We used the accelerated progress payments from the U.S. Government to increase the rate of progress payments had the effect of increasing ourplus cash from operations, but we used all of this benefiton hand to accelerate $1.4 billion of payments to our suppliers.

We have a balanced cash deployment strategy to enhance stockholder value and position ourselves to take advantage of new business opportunities when they arise. Consistent with that strategy, we have continued to invest in our business, including capital expenditures, independent research and development, and selective business acquisitions and investments; returned cash to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases; and actively managed our debt levels and maturities, interest rates, and pension obligations.
We expect to continue to look for opportunities to manage our pension liabilities through the purchase of group annuity contracts for portions of our outstanding defined benefit pension obligations using assets from the pension trust. Future transactions could result in us making additional contributions to the pension trust and significant non-cash settlement charges to earnings in the applicable reporting period.
We have generated strong operating cash flows, which have been the primary source of funding for our operations, capital expenditures, debt service and repayments, dividends, share repurchases and postretirement benefit plan contributions. The total remaining authorization for future common share repurchases under our share repurchase program was $3.0$2.0 billion as of September 27, 2020.March 28, 2021.
Currently, we expect our cash from operations will continue to be sufficient to support our operations and anticipated capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

On December 20, 2020, we entered into an agreement to acquire Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc. for $51.00 per share, which is net of a $5.00 per share special cash dividend Aerojet Rocketdyne paid to its stockholders on March 24, 2021. This represents a post-dividend equity value of approximately $4.6 billion, on a fully diluted as-converted basis, and a transaction value of approximately $4.4 billion after the assumption of Aerojet Rocketdyne’s projected net cash. The transaction is expected to close in the later part of 2021, subject to receipt of regulatory approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and satisfaction of other closing conditions specified in the acquisition agreement. We expect to finance the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and new debt issuances.
On March 11, 2021, the President signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 into law. This legislation contained funding relief provisions affecting single-employer pension plans. The legislation is expected to reduce CAS pension cost and lower ERISA cash funding requirements as compared to current pension estimates. As a result, the company’s current outlook was updated to assume no pension contribution in 2021 (previously assumed a $1.0 billion discretionary payment). In addition, the company decided to adopt the CAS changes effective in 2022.

On June 16, 2020, we used the net proceeds from the offering plus cash on hand to redeem $750 million of the outstanding $1.25 billion in aggregate principal amount of our 2.50% Notes due in 2020 and $400 million of the outstanding $900 million in aggregate principal amount of our 3.35% Notes due in 2021, each at their redemption price.
During the nine monthsquarters ended September 27,March 28, 2021 and March 29, 2020, and September 29, 2019, we paid dividends totaling $2.0 billion$739 million ($7.202.60 per share) and $1.9 billion$693 million ($6.602.40 per share). In addition, we repurchased 3.01.9 million shares of our common stock during the nine monthsquarter ended September 27, 2020March 28, 2021 for $1.1$1.0 billion which includes the $500 million paid in the first quarter of 2020 to repurchase 1.4 million shares pursuant to the accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement. The actual number of shares delivered under the ASR is based on an average volume-weighted average price (VWAP) over the plan period and, based on the average VWAP as of April 14, 2020, we received an additional 1.0 million shares upon final settlement. During the nine monthsquarter ended SeptemberMarch 29, 2019,2020, we purchased 2.21.7 million shares of our common stock for $718$756 million, some of which was settled subsequentincluded $500 million paid pursuant to the end of the third quarter.ASR.
Capital Resources

At September 27, 2020,March 28, 2021, we held cash and cash equivalents of $3.6$2.9 billion that was generally available to fund ordinary business operations without significant legal, regulatory, or other restrictions.

At September 27, 2020,March 28, 2021, we also had a $2.5 billion revolving credit facility with various banks that is available for general corporate purposes with an expiration date of August 24, 2024. The undrawn portion of the credit facility also serves as a backup facility for the issuance of commercial paper. The total amount outstanding at any point in time under the combination of our commercial paper program and the credit facility cannot exceed the amount of the credit facility. We may request and the banks may grant, at their discretion, an increase in the borrowing capacity under the credit facility of up to an additional $500 million. There were no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility at September 27, 2020.March 28, 2021.

We have agreements in place with financial institutions to provide for the issuance of commercial paper.

On occasion, our customers may seek deferred payment terms to purchase our products. In connection with these transactions, we may, at our customer’s request, enter into arrangements for the non-recourse sale of customer receivables to unrelated third-party financial institutions. For accounting purposes, these transactions are not discounted and are treated as a sale of receivables as we have no continuing involvement. The sale proceeds from the financial institutions are reflected in our operating cash flows on the statement of cash flows. We sold customer receivables of $160 million and $427 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2020 and $80 million and $280 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2019.

Our total equity was $5.0$6.3 billion at September 27, 2020,March 28, 2021, an increase of $1.8 billion$295 million from December 31, 2019.2020. The increase was primarily attributable to net earnings of $5.0$1.8 billion and amortization of $330$140 million in pension and other postretirement benefit plan expense. These increases were partially offset by dividends declared of $2.8 billion$725 million and the repurchase of 3.0 million sharesrepurchasing common stock under our ASR program for $1.1$1.0 billion.
OTHER MATTERS
Status of the F-35 Program
The F-35 program primarily consists of production contracts, sustainment activities, and new development efforts. Production of the aircraft is expected to continue for many years given the U.S. Government’s current inventory objective of 2,456 aircraft for the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Navy; commitments from our seven international partner countries and fivesix international customers; as well as expressions of interest from other countries.
During the first half of 2020, the F-35 program completed several milestones both domestically and internationally. The U.S. Government continued testing the aircraft, including ship trials, mission and weapons systems evaluations, and the F-35 fleet recently surpassed 325,000 flight hours. During the third quarter of 2020, the U.S. Government awarded the production of 18 F-35 Block Buy aircraft in addition to the 448 aircraft previously awarded. Since program inception, we have delivered 569 production F-35 aircraft, demonstrating the F-35 program’s continued progress and longevity. The first 569 F-35 aircraft delivered to U.S. and international customers include 404 F-35A variants, 121 F-35B variants, and 43 F-35C variants. The full-rate production decision, also known formally as Milestone C, is expected to be delayed by the DoD until Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) activities are complete in the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR)-led Joint Simulation Environment (JSE). The JSE is used to conduct simulated evaluations of the F-35 in a range of high-threat scenarios. The data will be utilized by the U.S. Government as part of their evaluation to transition the F-35 program from Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) into full-rate production.
During the third quarter of 2020,2021, we delivered 3117 production aircraft to our U.S. and international partner countries, resulting in total deliveries of 628 production aircraft, and we have 398339 production aircraft in backlog, including orders from our international partner countries.

On July 17, 2019, the U.S. Government suspended Turkey’s participation in the F-35 program and initiated the process to formally remove Turkey from the program as a result of Turkey accepting delivery of the Russian S-400 air and missile defense system. To date, the Administration has not imposed sanctions on Turkish entities involved in the S-400 procurement, although sanctions under the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) remain a risk. Additionally, sanctions could be imposed against Turkey as a result of future legislation. We are monitoring developments in Congress and the potential impacts of any sanctions and other actions regarding Turkey on the F-35 program and on our other programs involving Turkey. Depending on the scope and applicability of any sanctions or other actions, the impact could be material to our operations, operating results, financial position or cash flows. Turkey previously committed to purchase up to 100 F-35 aircraft, of which six have completed production.
Turkish suppliers also produce component parts for the F-35 program, many of which are single-sourced. To minimize the risks of disruption of our supply chain and ensure continuity of F-35 production, we have been working closely with the DoD and supporting activities to identify and engage alternate suppliers for the component parts produced by Turkish suppliers. We have made significant progress toward this end, but due to the procedure to qualify new parts and suppliers, this collaborative process between DoD and Lockheed Martin is ongoing. Earlier this year, the DoD publicly confirmed that Turkey would be permitted to provide certain components for the F-35 through 2022. While the transition timeline is an important first step, it is equally important that our replacement capacity is re-established so that production is not impacted. Efforts to date have significantly reduced our risk, but final resolution on a limited number of remaining components could affect F-35 deliveries, and any accelerated work stoppage would impact cost. International sales of the F-35 are negotiated between the U.S. Government and international governments and the process that formally removed Turkey from the F-35 program is a government-to-government matter. We will continue to follow official U.S. Government guidance as it relates to completed Turkish aircraft and the export and import of component parts from the Turkish supply chain.
The effects of potential U.S. Government sanctions on Turkey, and Turkey’s removal from the F-35 program do not appear to be significant at this time. However, unforeseen actions could impact the timing of orders, disrupt the production of aircraft, delay delivery of aircraft, disrupt delivery of sustainment components produced in Turkey and impact funding on the F-35 program to include the result of any reprogramming of funds that may be necessary to mitigate the impact of alternate sources for component parts made in Turkey. While, in the case of the F-35 program, we expect that these costs ultimately would be recovered from the U.S. Government, the availability or timing of any recovery could adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations. For additional discussion, including the risk of sanctions on other programs involving sales to Turkey or work with Turkish industry, see Item 1A - Risk Factors of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.COVID-19.
Given the size and complexity of the F-35 program, we anticipate that there will be continual reviews related to aircraft performance, program schedule, cost, and requirements as part of the DoD, Congressional, and international partner countries’ oversight and budgeting processes. Current program challenges include, but are not limited to supplier and partner performance, software development, receiving funding for contracts on a timely basis, the level of cost associated with life cycle operations, and sustainment and warranties, receiving funding for production contracts on a timely basis,and executing future flight tests and supporting the resulting findings resulting from testing and operating the aircraft.

Postretirement Benefit Plans
We measure However, as set forth below, we have updated our net obligationsdisclosures related to our postretirement benefit plans annuallyto describe changes to our funding requirements and the amount of pension costs recoverable under contracts with the U.S. Government as a result of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
Postretirement Benefit Plans
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA), which eased funding requirements for single-employer defined benefit pension plans under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA) by restarting and extending the amortization of funding shortfalls and extending and enhancing interest rate stabilization percentages, among many other stimulus measures. Plan sponsors can spread (amortize) contributions required to pay for plan underfunding over time. ARPA “restarts” and extends the amortization period from seven to fifteen years. ARPA also adjusts and extends the pension funding interest rate relief from prior legislation. Under previous interest rate stabilization measures, the interest rates must be within 10% of 25-year interest rate averages as determined by the IRS. Under prior law, stabilized interest rates were to begin phasing out in 2021, with the 10% corridor around the 25-year interest rate averages expanding five percentage points each year until the corridor bounded interest rates were within 30% of the 25-year averages, which was expected to occur in 2024. Under ARPA, the 10% interest rate corridor was reduced to 5% until 2026, at which point the corridor will expand by five percentage points each year end,until interest rates are within 30% in 2030. Additionally, a 5% floor was established for the 25-year interest rate averages. These changes have the effect of lowering our minimum funding requirements. We also use the stabilized interest rates to determine our CAS pension costs, which are largely dependent upon several key economicalso expected to be lower from what they otherwise would have been had the interest rate stabilization measures not been adjusted and actuarial assumptions. If we assume aextended. Plan sponsors generally can adopt these changes as of 2020, 2021, or 2022. We will adopt the funding amortization change as of 2020 and the interest rate stabilization as of 2022. The changes in law will not affect the discount rate atused to calculate our FAS pension obligation under GAAP.
Our 2021 financial outlook was updated to assume no pension contribution in 2021 as compared to the endpreviously assumed $1.0 billion discretionary payment. There is no change to the FAS/CAS pension outlook for 2021. Accordingly, we continue to expect to recover approximately $2.1 billion of 2020CAS pension costs on our contracts in 2021. We also continue to expect FAS pension income of 2.50% (a 75 basis point decrease from the end of 2019), a 7.00% return on plan assets$265 million in 2020,2021 and a 7.00% expected long-term rate of return on plan assets in future years among other assumptions, we expect the total net 2021 FAS/CAS pension benefit to be approximately $2.1of $2.3 billion. With these assumptions, we expectWe are assessing the amount of the
qualified defined benefit pension plan obligation to be recorded at the end of 2020 to increase, resulting in a non-cash, after-tax decrease in stockholders’ equity of approximately $3.9 billion.

A change of plus or minus 25 basis points to the assumed discount rate, with all other assumptions held constant, would result in an incremental non-cash, after-tax increase or decrease to equity at the end of 2020 of approximately $1.3 billion, with a corresponding incremental increase or decrease of approximately $15 million to the estimated net 2021 FAS/CAS pension benefit.

A change of plus or minus 100 basis points to the return on plan assets in 2020 only, with all other assumptions held constant, would result in an incremental non-cash, after-tax increase or decrease to equity at the end of 2020 of approximately $280 million, with a corresponding incremental increase or decrease of approximately $15 million to the estimated net 2021 FAS/CAS pension benefit.

We expect to make contributions of approximately $1.0 billion to our qualified defined benefit pension plans in 2021 and anticipate recovering approximately $2.1 billion of CAS pension cost.

Accountingimpacts for postretirement benefit plans under GAAP requires that the amounts we record are computed using actuarial valuations. These valuations utilize many assumptions, including those we make regarding financial markets and other economic conditions and longevity. Changes in those annual assumptions can impact our total equity at any given year end, and the amount of expense we record for our postretirement benefits plans in the following year. We will finalize the postretirement benefit plan assumptions and determine the 2020 actual return on plan assets on December 31, 2020. The final assumptions and the actual investment returns for 2020 may differ materially from those discussed above.

Please refer to our critical accounting policies under the caption “Postretirement Benefit Plans” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion of the significant assumptions we must make, in addition to information regarding our ability to recover our pension costs in the pricing of our contracts.periods beyond 2021.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The carrying value of our Sikorsky reporting unit included goodwill of $2.7 billion an indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset of $887 million, and finite-lived customer program intangible assets of $2.1 billion as of September 27, 2020.March 28, 2021. In the fourth quarter of 2019,2020, we performed our annual impairment test for goodwill, and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. We were not required tothe results of that test the finite-lived program intangible asset because there wereindicated no indicators of a possible impairment.impairment existed. As of the date of our 20192020 annual impairment test, we estimated that the fair value of our Sikorsky reporting unit exceeded its carrying value for goodwill by a margin of approximately 40% and the30%.

The fair value of the intangible asset exceeded its carrying value by a margin of approximately 10%.
The fair values and carrying values of our goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at our Sikorsky business are closely aligned. Therefore, any business deterioration, contract cancellations or terminations, orreporting unit can be significantly impacted by changes in expected future orders, could cause our sales, earnings and cash flows to decline below current projections and could cause goodwill and intangible assets to be impaired. Similarly,general market factors utilized in the impairment analysis,pressures, including long-termU.S. Government budgetary constraints, discount rates, long term growth rates, and discount rates could negatively impact the fair value of our reporting units. As previously disclosed, basedchanges in U.S. (federal or state) or foreign tax laws and regulations, or their interpretation and application, including those with retroactive effect, along with other significant judgments.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION 
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
We are a party to or have property subject to litigation and other proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business, including matters arising under provisions relating to the protection of the environment, and are subject to contingencies related to certain businesses we previously owned. These types of matters could result in fines, penalties, cost reimbursements or contributions, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary sanctions or relief. We believe the probability is remote that the outcome of each of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the corporation as a whole, notwithstanding that the unfavorable resolution of any matter may have a material effect on our net earnings in any particular interim reporting period. We cannot predict the outcome of legal or other proceedings with certainty. These matters include the proceedings summarized in “Note 7 –8 - Legal Proceedings and Contingencies” included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Note 1415 – Legal Proceedings, Commitments and Contingencies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (20192020 (2020 Form 10-K) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign requirements for the protection of the environment, including those for discharge of hazardous materials and remediation of contaminated sites. Due in part to the complexity and pervasiveness of these requirements, we are a party to or have property subject to various lawsuits, proceedings and remediation obligations. The extent of our financial exposure cannot in all cases be reasonably estimated at this time. For information regarding the matters discussed above, including current estimates of the amounts that we believe are required for remediation or clean-up to the extent estimable, see “Note 7 –8 - Legal Proceedings and Contingencies” included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. See also “Critical Accounting Policies – Environmental Matters” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Note 1415 – Legal Proceedings, Commitments and Contingencies”, each in our 20192020 Form 10-K, for a description of previously reported matters.
As a U.S. Government contractor, we are subject to various audits and investigations by the U.S. Government to determine whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. U.S. Government investigations of us, whether relating to government contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, suspension, proposed debarment, debarment from eligibility for future U.S. Government contracting or suspension of export privileges. Suspension or debarment could have a material adverse effect on us because of our dependence on contracts with the U.S. Government. U.S. Government investigations often take years to complete and many result in no adverse action against us. We also provide products and services to customers outside of the U.S., which are subject to U.S. and foreign laws and regulations and foreign procurement policies and practices. Our compliance with local regulations or applicable U.S. Government regulations also may be audited or investigated.

While we attempt to identify, manage and mitigate risks and uncertainties associated with our businessThere have been no material changes to the extent practical under the circumstances, some level of risk and uncertainty will always be present.factors disclosed in “Item 1A.1A, Risk Factors” of our 20192020 Form 10-K describes some of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business, including U.S. Government funding, as further described in the “Industry Considerations” section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-Q.10-K. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, projected results and future prospects. Except forThese risks are not exclusive and additional risks to which we are subject include the risk factors discussed below, we do not believe that there have been any material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K.
The effects of COVID-19 and other potential future public health crises, epidemics, pandemics or similar events on our business, operating results and cash flows are uncertain.
The global outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. Government in March 2020 and has negatively affected the U.S. and global economies, disrupted global supply chains, resulted in significant travel and transport restrictions, including mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place” and quarantine restrictions, and created significant disruption of the financial markets. The pandemic has presented unprecedented business challenges, and we have experienced impacts in each of our business areas related to COVID-19, primarily in increased coronavirus-related costs, delays in supplier deliveries, impacts of travel restrictions, site access and quarantine requirements,mentioned under “Forward-Looking Statements” and the impactsrisks described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of remote workFinancial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

adjusted work schedules. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our programs in the expected timeframe, remains uncertain and will depend on future pandemic related developments, including the duration of the pandemic and any potential subsequent waves of COVID-19 infection, and related government actions to prevent and manage disease spread, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. The long-term impacts of COVID-19 on government budgets and other funding priorities, including international priorities, that impact demand for our products and services and our business are also difficult to predict.
In accordance with the Department of Homeland Security’s identification of the Defense Industrial Base as a critical infrastructure sector in March 2020, our U.S. production facilities have continued to operate in support of essential products and services required to meet national security commitments to the U.S. Government and the U.S. military. Although we are designated as a critical infrastructure workforce, operations have been adjusted in response to the pandemic, including, most significantly, a reduction in the F-35 production rate primarily due to supplier delays. The reduction is expected to delay 2020 F-35 deliveries by 18-24 aircraft. Due to the supplier delays, we implemented a temporary schedule adjustment for the F-35 production workforce in Fort Worth, Texas. While the F-35 production workforce resumed their pre-COVID-19 work schedule in the third quarter, staffing levels at our facilities, our customer facilities, and our supplier facilities have and could continue to fluctuate as a result of COVID-19, which could negatively impact our business. In addition, countries other than the U.S. have different responses to the pandemic that can affect our international operations and the operations of our suppliers and customers. Base closures, travel restrictions, and quarantine requirements both within and outside the U.S. have affected our normal operations and resulted in some schedule delays and future or prolonged occurrences of these could adversely affect our ability to achieve future contract milestones and our results of operations.
The U.S. Government has taken actions in response to COVID-19 to increase the progress payment rates in new and existing contracts and accelerate contract awards to provide cash flow and liquidity for companies in the Defense Industrial Base, including large prime contractors like Lockheed Martin and smaller suppliers. We continue to proactively monitor our supply chain and have implemented multiple actions to help mitigate the effects of COVID-19, including accelerating payments to suppliers within our global supply base as a result of the actions taken by the DoD in changing the progress payment policy. We plan to continue to accelerate payments to the supply chain for the remainder of the year in order to mitigate COVID-19 risks, prioritizing impacted suppliers and small businesses. As described in Item 1A, Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we rely on other companies and the U.S. Government to provide materials, major components and products, and to perform a portion of the services that are provided to our customers under the terms of most of our contracts. Many of these suppliers also supply parts for commercial aviation businesses which have been more significantly impacted by the pandemic due to the impacts on these markets. Global supply chain disruption caused by the response to COVID-19 has impacted some of our programs and could impact our ability to perform on our contracts. We have identified a number of suppliers that have had potential delivery impacts due to COVID-19 and are working to manage those impacts. However, if we are not able to implement alternatives or other mitigations, deliveries and other milestones on affected programs could be adversely impacted.
Delays in inspection, acceptance and payment by our customers, many of whom are teleworking, could also affect our sales and cash flows. This is particularly an issue with respect to classified work that is unable to be done remotely. Limitations on government operations can also impact regulatory approvals such as export licenses that are needed for international sales and deliveries. In addition, we could experience delays in new program starts or awards of future work as well as the uncertain impact of contract modifications to respond to the national emergency. Current limitations on travel to customers could impact international orders. We have been granted some travel exemptions to allow us to continue certain activities but we have no assurance that they will continue or additional restrictions will not be imposed. If significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, absenteeism, government actions, facility closures, travel restrictions or other restrictions due to COVID-19, our operations will be impacted and this could create risks to the effectiveness of our internal controls. Additionally, we have not previously experienced such a significant portion of our workforce working remotely for a prolonged period, so its effects on our long-term operations are unknown. The impact of COVID-19 could worsen depending on the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak or potential subsequent waves of COVID-19 infection in affected regions after they have begun to experience improvement.
Coronavirus-related costs for us and our suppliers are significant and we are seeking reimbursement of coronavirus-related costs under our U.S. Government contracts through a combination of equitable adjustments to the contract price and reimbursement of the costs under Section 3610 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), which allows federal agencies to reimburse contractors at the minimum applicable contract billing rate for costs

arising from certain paid leave, including sick leave, a contractor provides to keep its employees or subcontractors in a ready state, as well as to protect the life and safety of government and contractor personnel from March 27, 2020 through December 11, 2020. Reimbursement of any costs under Section 3610 of the CARES Act increases sales, but is not expected to be at a profit or fee and so would have the effect of reducing our margins in future periods. These cost increases, including costs for employees whose jobs cannot be performed remotely and for certain costs incurred prior to March 27, 2020, may not be fully recoverable under our contracts, particularly fixed-price contracts, or adequately covered by insurance. We also have no assurance that Congress will appropriate funds to cover the reimbursement of defense contractors authorized by the CARES Act, which could reduce funds available for other U.S. Government defense priorities.
The continued spread of COVID-19 has also led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which depending on future developments could impact our capital resources and liquidity in the future. From time to time, we have used commercial paper backed by our revolving credit facility to manage the timing of cash flows. The commercial paper market was temporarily disrupted in March 2020 as a result of COVID-19, and while these markets are currently operating in a normal manner, depending on future market conditions and volatility, commercial paper may not be available on favorable terms or at all, or in the capacity desired. COVID-19 has also caused volatility in the equity capital markets and the investment returns on our pension assets. As described in Item 1A, Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, changes in returns on plan assets may affect our plan funding, cash flows and stockholders’ equity. We are also monitoring the impacts of COVID-19 on the fair value of our assets. While we do not currently anticipate any material impairments on our assets as a result of COVID-19, future changes in expectations for sales, earnings and cash flows related to intangible assets and goodwill below our current projections could cause these assets to be impaired. As disclosed in Item 1A, Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, the carrying value and fair value of our Sikorsky reporting unit are closely aligned and any business deterioration, contract cancellations or terminations, or market pressures could cause our sales, earnings and cash flows to decline below our current projections and could cause goodwill and intangibles to be impaired.
Political issues and considerations, both in the U.S. and internationally, could have a significant effect on our business.
Our international business is highly sensitive to changes in regulations (including tariffs, sanctions, embargoes, export and import controls and other trade restrictions), political environments or security risks that may affect our ability to conduct business outside of the U.S., including those regarding investment, procurement, taxation and repatriation of earnings.
On July 14, 2020, the People’s Republic of China (China) announced it may impose sanctions against Lockheed Martin in response to a recent Congressional Notification of the potential Foreign Military Sale of Repair and Recertification Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) Missiles to Taiwan. Foreign Military Sales are government-to-government transactions, and we work closely with the U.S. Government on any military sales to international customers. We will continue to follow official U.S. Government guidance as it relates to sales to Taiwan and do not see a material impact on Lockheed Martin sales at this time. China has not specified the nature of any such sanctions, but could seek to restrict our commercial sales or supply chain, including our supply of rare earth or other raw materials, and could also impose sanctions on our suppliers, teammates or partners. As further described in Item 1A, Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we rely on other companies to provide materials, major components and products, and to perform a portion of the services that are provided to our customers, which involve risks, and some raw materials required for our products are largely controlled by a single country and, therefore, can be adversely affected by potential trade actions involving that country. The nature, timing and potential impact of any sanctions that may be imposed by China or any other related actions that may be taken cannot be determined at this time.
We continue to evaluate the potential effect of the United Kingdom’s (UK) departure from the European Union (EU) (commonly referred to as Brexit) on our business operations and financial results. We anticipate that the most probable near-term effects are likely to reflect the pressure Brexit is placing on the UK government, which may influence the government’s ability to make decisions on large complex programs of the type we perform. Brexit also may have adverse implications on the movement of products or sustainment activities between the UK and EU or may increase costs. Additionally, Brexit may impact the value of the pound sterling. If the pound sterling were to remain depressed against the U.S. dollar, this could negatively impact the ability of the UK government to afford our products and services. While we have operations in the UK and these operations have activity between the UK and the EU (e.g., sales, supply chain, or reliance on personnel), we currently do not anticipate that Brexit will have a material impact on our operations or our

financial results. Additionally, our practice is to substantially hedge our transactional currency exposure and, therefore, we do not have material currency transaction exposure to the pound sterling or the euro.
International sales also may be affected by actions taken by the U.S. Government in the exercise of foreign policy, Congressional oversight or the financing of particular programs. For example, Congress may act to prevent or impose conditions upon the sale or delivery of our products, such as delays in obtaining Congressional approvals for exports requiring Congressional notification to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Turkey and potential sanctions on those or other countries. Our international business also may be impacted by changes in foreign national priorities, foreign government budgets, global economic conditions, and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Sales of military products are also affected by defense budgets and U.S. foreign policy, including trade restrictions and disputes, and there could be significant delays or other issues in reaching definitive agreements for announced programs and international customer priorities could change. Additionally, the timing of orders from our international customers can be less predictable than for our U.S. customers and may lead to fluctuations in the amount reported each year for our international sales.

(a)We close our books and records on the last Sunday of each month to align our financial closing with our business processes, except for the month of December, as our fiscal year ends on December 31. As a result, our fiscal months often differ from the calendar months. For example, July 26, 2020March 28, 2021 was the last day of our July 2020March 2021 fiscal month.
(b)In October 2010, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program pursuant to which we are authorized to repurchase our common stock in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market at prices per share not exceeding the then-current market prices. From time to time, our Board of Directors authorizes increases to our share repurchase program. The total remaining authorization for future common share repurchases under our share repurchase program was $3.0$2.0 billion as of September 27, 2020, including a $1.3 billion increase to the program authorized by our Board of Directors on September 25, 2020.March 28, 2021. Under the program, management has discretion to determine the dollar amount of shares to be repurchased and the timing of any repurchases in compliance with applicable law and regulation. This includes purchases pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans, including accelerated share repurchases. The program does not have an expiration date.
(c)During the quarter ended September 27, 2020,March 28, 2021, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement to repurchase $1.0 billion of our common stock through April 14, 2021. Under the terms of the ASR agreement, we paid $1.0 billion and received an initial delivery of 1,851,680 shares of our common stock. Subsequent to our first quarter, upon final settlement of the ASR agreement on April 14, 2021, we received an additional 1,016,194 shares of our common stock for no additional consideration based on the average price paid per share of $348.69, calculated with reference to the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of our common stock over the term of the agreement, less a negotiated discount. See “Note 10 - Stockholders’ Equity” included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Average Price Paid Per Share above does not include ASR shares.
(d)During the quarter ended March 28, 2021, the total number of shares purchased included 1,717211,277 shares that were transferred to us by employees in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations associated with the vesting of restricted stock units and performance stock units.
