Dear Fellow Shareholders,

My 31 years with Raytheon have instilled in me a deep pride 
for what we do for our customers. Driven by purpose, we 
act as one global team creating trusted, innovative solutions 
to make the world a safer place. Therefore, on behalf of the 
Raytheon team worldwide, I am proud to present this record 
of Raytheon’s performance during 2014.

Raytheon continued to deliver solid financial results 

Given the global threat environment, our international

our backlog was $33.6 billion, and the funded backlog 

was $23.1 billion. Confidence in these results led 

to Raytheon’s stock outperforming the Standard 

& Poor’s 500 index again in 2014, the fourth 

consecutive year.

As stewards for our shareholders, we continued to 

drive our balanced capital deployment strategy. For 

the full-year 2014, the company repurchased 7.7 

million shares of common stock for $750 million. 

Additionally, we increased our dividend by 10 percent 

in 2014–our 10th consecutive year with an increase.

In 2014, we had solid  
net sales of $22.8  
billion, and bookings  
totaled $24.1 billion.”

Global Demand for Our 
Advanced Solutions

Our strong bookings reflect the demand for 

our diverse range of advanced solutions from our 

domestic and international customers. This was 

evidenced by our many key contracts, competitive 

awards and technology achievements during the 

year. Furthermore, to stay aligned with our customers’ 

priorities for the long term, we continue to make 

investments in game-changing technologies that 

differentiate our solutions in the marketplace.

MISSILE DEFENSE: In the area of Missile Defense, 

the continued momentum for our combat-proven 

Patriot system also included a $655 million contract 

to provide Kuwait with two new-production Patriot 

fire units and a $160 million award to provide 

Patriot Guidance Enhanced Missile-Tactical 

(GEM-T) missiles for another international 

customer. Our many successful tests in 2014 

included the Standard Missile-6 destroying a target 

in the longest-distance surface-to-air strike in 

naval history, the Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle 

ground-based interceptor with the latest hardware 

and software upgrades, and the first flight test 

of the Standard Missile-3 from the Aegis Ashore 

weapon system. We also booked $634 million for 

the SM-3® for the Missile Defense Agency, and 

the U.S. Navy deployed the second-generation 

SM-3 Block IB for the first time.

COMMAND, CONTROL, COMMUNICATIONS, 

COMPUTERS, INTELLIGENCE, SURVEILLANCE 

AND RECONNAISSANCE: We further 

strengthened our leading position in C4ISR 

systems when the U.S. Air Force selected 

Raytheon in the competitions for both the 

Family of Advanced Beyond Line of Sight 

Terminals (FAB-T) program and the Three-

Dimensional Expeditionary Long-Range Radar 

program. Additionally, the Federal Aviation 

Administration awarded us $350 million to 

modernize air traffic control centers at 135 

airports with our Standard Terminal Automation 

System platform, and the U.S. Army began an 

exercise in the National Capitol Region with 

our JLENS tethered radar blimp, which can 

detect cruise missile, drone and airplane threats 

at extremely long ranges.

CYBERSECURITY: In the cyber market, we are 

winning new business and seeing significant 

opportunities developing both domestically and 

internationally as we seek to unlock the value of 

our cyber capabilities to meet the growing global 

demand. For instance, we booked a $260 million 

award for an international cyber program during 

the year. We further enhanced our capabilities by 

acquiring Blackbird Technologies–strengthening 

our offerings in persistent surveillance, secure 

mobile communications and cybersecurity solutions 

in intelligence and special operations markets. 

In the cyber market,  
we are winning new 
business and seeing

Given the global threat environment, our 
international strategy continues to be a strength. 
I have heard again and again from customers I 
have met with around the world that national 
security remains a top priority.”

Committed to Our Core Values

We also believe that we gain a competitive 

advantage from our strong company culture–a 

culture firmly rooted in our vision and values, 

which emphasize trust, respect, collaboration, 

innovation and accountability.

When our vision and values are put into action, 

they inspire our team to impressive results and 

recognition in areas such as ethics and integrity; 

diversity and inclusion; health and safety; and 

corporate responsibility. We were awarded the 

2014 Corporate Leadership Award by Transparency 

International–USA for our commitment to shape 

initiatives that promote high business standards, 

transparency, and anti-corruption in the U.S. and 

internationally. We were named one of the 2014 

Global Aon Hewitt Top Companies for Leaders 

and a 2015 Best Place to Work by the Human Rights 

Campaign–marking the 10th year in a row we 

have achieved a 100-percent rating. We achieved 

the best safety record in our history, significantly 

reducing both lost workdays and recordable injuries. 

We received the ENERGY STAR® Partner of the 

Year - Sustained Excellence Award from the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency. We were also 

recognized as one of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens 

by Corporate Responsibility Magazine. To continue 

as a recognized leader in these areas, we know we 

need to continue to build on these successes.

Ready for the Future

In summary, we had another great year at Raytheon 

in 2014, and we have a solid outlook for the 

future. Our strong position owes much to the 

dedicated service and leadership of William H. 

Swanson, who stepped down from the Raytheon 

Board of Directors in September 2014, after 

serving more than a decade as our chairman and 

CEO. We are deeply indebted to Bill for all he 

did for our company, customers and shareholders 

during his 42 years with Raytheon. We would 

not be the company we are today without him, 

and we wish him all the best for the future.

As we look ahead, we will continue our focus on 

top-line growth, investing in innovative technologies, 

building on our capabilities and maximizing 

shareholder value.

I want to thank the Raytheon team worldwide for 

making it all possible. Like me, they are proud of 

what they do every day, for our company, customers 

and shareholders.

U.S. Government Contracts and Regulation
We act as a prime contractor or major subcontractor for numerous U.S. Government programs. As a result, we are subject to 
extensive regulations and requirements of the U.S. Government agencies and entities that govern these programs, including 
with respect to the award, administration and performance of contracts under such programs. We are also subject to certain 
unique business risks associated with U.S. Government program funding and appropriations and government contracts, and 
with supplying technologically-advanced, cutting edge defense-related products and services to the U.S. Government. 

U.S.  Government  contracts  generally  are  subject  to  the  Federal Acquisition  Regulation  (FAR),  which  sets  forth  policies, 
procedures and requirements for the acquisition of goods and services by the U.S. Government, department-specific regulations 
that implement or supplement the FAR, such as the DoD's Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), 
and other applicable laws and regulations. These regulations impose a broad range of requirements, many of which are unique 

6

to government contracting, including various procurement, import and export, security, contract pricing and cost, contract 
termination and adjustment, audit and product integrity requirements. A contractor's failure to comply with these regulations 
and requirements could result in reductions to the value of contracts, contract modifications or termination, and the assessment 
of penalties and fines, and lead to suspension or debarment, for cause, from U.S. Government contracting or subcontracting 
for a period of time. In addition, government contractors are also subject to routine audits and investigations by U.S. Government 
agencies such as the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) and Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA). These 
agencies review a contractor's performance under its contracts, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations 
and standards. The DCAA and DCMA also review the adequacy of and a contractor's compliance with its internal control 
systems and policies, including the contractor's accounting, purchasing, property, estimating, earned value management and 
material management accounting systems. For a discussion of certain risks associated with compliance with U.S. Government 
contract regulations and requirements, see Item 1A “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K. 

U.S. Government contracts include both cost reimbursement and fixed-price contracts. Cost reimbursement contracts, subject 
to a contract-ceiling amount in certain cases, provide for the reimbursement of allowable costs plus the payment of a fee. 
These contracts fall into three basic types: (i) cost plus fixed fee contracts which provide for the payment of a fixed fee 
irrespective of the final cost of performance; (ii) cost plus incentive fee contracts which provide for increases or decreases in 
the fee, within specified limits, based upon actual cost results compared to contractual cost targets; and (iii) cost plus award 
fee contracts which provide for the payment of an award fee determined at the discretion of the customer based upon the 
performance of the contractor against pre-established criteria. Under cost reimbursement type contracts, the contractor is 
reimbursed periodically for allowable costs and is paid a portion of the fee based on contract progress. Some costs incidental 
to performing contracts have been made partially or wholly unallowable for reimbursement by statute, the FAR or other 
regulation. Examples of such costs include charitable contributions, certain merger and acquisition costs, lobbying costs, 
interest expense and certain litigation defense costs. 

Fixed-price contracts are either firm fixed-price (FFP) contracts or fixed-price incentive (FPI) contracts. Under FFP contracts, 
the contractor agrees to perform a specific scope of work for a fixed price and as a result, benefits from cost savings and carries 
the burden of cost overruns. Under FPI contracts, the contractor shares with the U.S. Government savings accrued from 
contracts performed for less than target costs and costs incurred in excess of targets up to a negotiated ceiling price (which is 
higher than the target cost) and carries the entire burden of costs exceeding the negotiated ceiling price. Accordingly, under 
such incentive contracts, the contractor's profit may also be adjusted up or down depending upon whether specified performance 
objectives are met. Under FFP and FPI incentive type contracts, the contractor usually receives either performance-based 
payments (PBPs) equaling up to 90% of the contract price or monthly progress payments from the U.S. Government generally 
in amounts equaling 80% of costs incurred under U.S. Government contracts. The remaining amount, including profits or 
incentive fees, is billed upon delivery and acceptance of end items under the contract. The DoD has expressed a preference 
to  utilize  progress  payments  based  on  costs  incurred  on  new  fixed-price  contract  awards  as  opposed  to  PBPs  unless  the 
contractor negotiates for PBPs. Generally speaking and subject to a number of factors, PBPs can provide improved cash flows 
as compared to progress payments but introduce risk to contractors in return. The DoD has also expressed a preference to 
utilize FPI as opposed to FFP type contracts. FPI contracts may attract a lower target fee than might be anticipated under FFP 
contracts, but offer the opportunity to increase fees based on performance. In the event we experience a greater proportion of 
FPI type contracts and/or progress payments for our fixed-price DoD contracts in the future than historically, it could have 
an adverse effect on our operating margins, cash flow and liquidity. For a discussion of certain risks associated with fixed 
price and cost reimbursement contracts and risks associated with changes in U.S. Government procurement rules, regulations 
and business practices, see Item 1A “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K.

U.S. Government contracts generally also permit the government to terminate the contract, in whole or in part, without prior 
notice, at the U.S. Government's convenience or for default based on performance. If a contract is terminated for convenience, 
the contractor is generally entitled to payments for its allowable costs and will receive some allowance for profit on the work 
performed. If a contract is terminated for default, the contractor is generally entitled to payments for its work that has been 
accepted by the U.S. Government. The U.S. Government's right to terminate its contracts has not had a material adverse effect 
upon our operations, financial condition or liquidity. For a discussion of the risks associated with the U.S. Government's right 
to terminate its contracts, see Item 1A “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K. 

U.S.  Government  programs  generally  are  implemented  by  the  award  of  individual  contracts  and  subcontracts.  Congress 
generally appropriates funds on a fiscal year basis even though a program may extend across several fiscal years. Consequently, 
programs  are  often  only  partially  funded  initially  and  additional  funds  are  committed  only  as  Congress  makes  further 
appropriations. The  contracts  and  subcontracts  under  a  program  generally  are  subject  to  termination  for  convenience  or 

7

adjustment if appropriations for such programs are not available or change. The U.S. Government is required to equitably 
adjust a contract price for additions or reductions in scope or other changes ordered by it. For a discussion of the risks associated 
with program funding and appropriations, see Item 1A “Risk Factors” and “Overview” within Item 7 of this Form 10-K. In 
addition, because we are engaged in supplying technologically-advanced, cutting edge defense-related products and services 
to the U.S. Government, we are subject to certain business risks, some of which are specific to our industry. These risks 
include: the cost of obtaining and retaining trained and skilled employees; the uncertainty and instability of prices for raw 
materials  and  supplies;  the  problems  associated  with  advanced  designs,  which  may  result  in  unforeseen  technological 
difficulties and cost overruns; and the intense competition and the constant necessity for improvement in facility utilization 
and  personnel  training.  Our  sales  to  the  U.S.  Government  may  be  affected  by  changes  in  procurement  policies,  budget 
considerations, changing priorities for national defense, political developments abroad and other factors. See Item 1A “Risk 
Factors” and “Overview” within Item 7 of this Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion of these and other related risks. 

We are also involved in U.S. Government programs, principally through our IIS and SAS business segments, that are classified 
by the U.S. Government and cannot be specifically described in this Form 10-K. The operating results of these classified 
programs are included in the applicable business segment's and our consolidated results of operations. The business risks and 
considerations associated with these and our international classified programs generally do not differ materially from those 
of our other U.S. Government and international programs and products. Total classified sales were 15% in 2014 and 2013, 
and 16% in 2012.

We are subject to government regulations and contract requirements that may differ from U.S. Government regulation with 
respect to our sales to non-U.S. customers. See “International Sales” below for more information regarding our sales outside 
of the U.S. and Item 1A “Risk Factors” for a discussion of the risks associated with international sales. 

See “Sales to the U.S. Government” on page 6 of this Form 10-K for information regarding the percentage of our revenues 
generated from sales to the U.S. Government.

Includes foreign military sales through the U.S. Government of $2,962 million, $3,062 million and $3,196 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

International sales were principally in the areas of air and missile defense systems, missile systems, airborne radars, naval 
systems, air traffic control systems, electronic equipment, computer software and systems, personnel training, equipment 
maintenance and microwave communications technology, and other products and services permitted under the International 
Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Generally, we internally fund our foreign subsidiary working capital requirements in the 
applicable countries. Sales and income from international operations and investments are subject to U.S. Government laws, 
regulations and policies, including the ITAR and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and other anti-corruption laws 
and  the  export  laws  and  regulations  described  below. They  are  also  subject  to  foreign  government  laws,  regulations  and 
procurement policies and practices, which may differ from U.S. Government regulation, including import-export control, 
technology transfer, investments, exchange controls, repatriation of earnings and requirements to expend a portion of program 
funds in-country through manufacturing agreements or other financial support obligations, known as offset obligations. In 
addition, embargoes, international hostilities and changes in currency and commodity values can also impact our international 
sales. Exchange restrictions imposed by various countries could restrict the transfer of funds between countries, us and our 
subsidiaries. We have acted to protect ourselves against various risks through insurance, foreign exchange contracts, contract 
provisions, government guarantees and/or progress payments. Our international sales in functional currencies other than the 
U.S. dollar were approximately $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion in 2014 and 2013, respectively, the majority of which were in 
British pounds and Australian dollars with the remainder primarily in euros and Canadian dollars. See total net sales and 
property, plant and equipment by geographical area set forth in “Note 15: Business Segment Reporting” within Item 8 of this 
Form 

In connection with certain foreign sales, we utilize the services of sales representatives who are paid commissions in return 
for services rendered.

Depending on the type of international sale, Raytheon must either seek various approvals from the U.S. Government under 
the foreign military sales process or may require an export authorization and the issuance of a license by either the U.S. 
Department of State under the Arms Export Control Act of 1976 (formerly the Foreign Military Sales Act) and its implementing 
regulations under the ITAR, the U.S. Department of Commerce under the Export Administration Act and its implementing 
regulations as kept in force by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA), and/or the U.S. Department 
of the Treasury under IEEPA or the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917. Such licenses may be denied for reasons of U.S. 
national security or foreign policy. In the case of certain exports of defense equipment and services, the Department of State 
must notify Congress at least 15–30 days (depending on the identity of the importing country that will utilize the equipment 
and services) prior to authorizing such exports. During that time, Congress may take action to block or delay a proposed export 
by  joint  resolution  which  is  subject  to  Presidential  veto. Additional  information  regarding  the  risks  associated  with  our 
international business is contained in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K.

Approximately $17.2 billion of the December 31, 2014 year-end backlog is not expected to be filled during the following 
twelve months. These amounts include both funded backlog (unfilled orders for which funding is authorized, appropriated 
and contractually obligated by the customer) and unfunded backlog (firm orders for which funding has not been appropriated 
or obligated to us). For additional information related to backlog figures, see “Segment Results” within Item 7 of this Form 
10-K.

Research and Development
We conduct extensive research and development activities to continually enhance our existing products and services, and 
develop  new  products  and  services  to  meet  our  customers’  changing  needs  and  requirements,  and  address  new  market 
opportunities. During 2014 we expended $500 million on research and development efforts compared to $465 million and 
$451 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively. These expenditures principally have been for product development for the U.S. 
Government. We also conduct funded research and development activities under U.S. Government contracts which are included 
in total net sales. For additional information related to our research and development activities, see “Note 1: Summary of 
Significant Accounting Policies” within Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Raw Materials, Suppliers and Seasonality
We are dependent upon the delivery of materials by suppliers, and the assembly of major components and subsystems by 
subcontractors used in our products. Some products require relatively scarce raw materials. In addition, we must comply with 
specific  procurement  requirements  which  may,  in  effect,  limit  the  suppliers  and  subcontractors  we  may  utilize.  In  some 
instances, for a variety of reasons, we are dependent on sole-source suppliers. We enter into long-term or volume purchase 
agreements  with  certain  suppliers  and  take  other  actions  to  ensure  the  availability  of  needed  materials,  components  and 
subsystems. We are also dependent on suppliers to provide genuine original equipment manufacturer parts and have a robust 
set of standardized policies to detect counterfeit material, especially electronic components, throughout our supply chain. We 
generally have not experienced significant difficulties in procuring the necessary raw materials, components and other supplies 
for our products. We also are subject to rules promulgated by the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2012 pursuant 
to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 that require us to conduct due diligence on and 
disclose if we are able to determine whether certain materials (including tantalum, tin, gold and tungsten), known as conflict 
minerals, that originate from mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or certain adjoining countries (DRC), are used 

9

 
in our products. We timely filed our first DRC minerals report on Form SD in 2014 stating that we were not able to determine 
the country of origin of conflict minerals contained in our manufactured products.

In recent years, our revenues in the second half of the year have generally exceeded revenues in the first half. The timing of 
new program awards, the availability of U.S. Government funding, the timing of international contract awards and approvals, 
and product delivery schedules are among the factors affecting the periods in which revenues are recorded. We expect this 
trend to continue in 2015.

Competition
We directly participate in most major areas of development in the defense and government electronics, space, information 
technology and technical services and support markets. Technical superiority, reputation, price, past performance, delivery 
schedules, financing and reliability are among the principal competitive factors considered by customers in these markets. 
We compete worldwide with a number of U.S. and international companies in these markets, some of which may have more 
extensive or more specialized engineering, manufacturing and marketing capabilities than we do in some areas. We frequently 
partner on various programs with our major suppliers, some of whom are, from time to time, competitors on other programs. 
In addition, U.S. defense spending levels in the near future are increasingly difficult to predict. Changes in U.S. defense 
spending may potentially limit certain future market opportunities. See Item 1A “Risk Factors” and “Overview” within Item 7 
of this Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion of these and other related risks.

Patents and Licenses
We own an intellectual property portfolio that includes many U.S. and foreign patents, as well as unpatented trade secrets and 
know-how, data, software, trademarks and copyrights, all of which contribute to the preservation of our competitive position 
in the market. In certain instances, we have augmented our technology base by licensing the proprietary intellectual property 
of others. We also license our intellectual property to others, including our customers, in certain instances. The U.S. Government 
has licenses in certain of our intellectual property, including certain patents, developed in the performance of U.S. Government 
contracts, and has the right to use and authorize others to use such intellectual property, including the inventions covered by 
such  patents  for  U.S.  Government  purposes. While  our  intellectual  property  rights  in  the  aggregate  are  important  to  our 
operations, we do not believe that any particular trade secret, patent, trademark, copyright, license or other intellectual property 
right is of such importance that its loss or termination would have a material adverse effect on our business.

Employment
As of December 31, 2014, we had approximately 61,000 employees. Approximately 8% of our employees are unionized. We 
consider our union-management relationships to be generally satisfactory.

Environmental Regulation
Our operations are subject to and affected by a variety of international, federal, state and local environmental protection laws 
and regulations. We have provided for the estimated cost to complete remediation—or, in the case of multi-party sites, our 
reasonably expected share thereof—where we have determined that it is probable that we will incur such costs in the future 
in connection with (i) facilities that are now, or were previously, owned or operated by us, (ii) sites where we have been named 
a  Potentially  Responsible  Party  (PRP)  by  the  Environmental  Protection Agency  (EPA)  or  similarly  designated  by  other 
environmental agencies, or (iii) sites where we have been named in a cost recovery or contribution claim by a non-governmental 
third-party. It is difficult to estimate the timing and ultimate amount of environmental cleanup costs to be incurred in the future 
due to the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the discovery and application of innovative remediation 
technologies, and the status and interpretation of laws and regulations. 

In order to assess the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements, we estimate the possible remediation costs 
that  we  could  reasonably  incur.  Such  estimates  take  into  consideration  the  professional  judgment  of  our  environmental 
professionals and, in most cases, consultations with outside environmental specialists. 

If we are ultimately found to have liability at a multi-party site where we have been designated a PRP or have been named in 
a cost recovery or contribution claim from a non-governmental third-party, we expect that the actual costs of remediation will 
be  shared  with  other  PRPs.  Generally  in  the  U.S.  and  certain  other  countries,  PRPs  that  are  ultimately determined  to  be 
responsible parties are strictly liable for site clean-up and usually agree among themselves to share, on an allocated basis, the 
costs  and  expenses  for  investigation  and  remediation  of  hazardous  materials.  Under  existing  U.S.  environmental  laws, 
responsible parties are usually jointly and severally liable and, therefore, potentially liable for the full cost of funding such 

10

remediation. In the unlikely event that we are required to fund the entire cost of such remediation, the statutory framework 
provides that we may pursue rights of contribution from the other PRPs. The amounts we record do not reflect the unlikely 
event that we would be required to fund the entire cost of such remediation, nor do they reflect the possibility that we may 
recover some of these environmental costs from insurance policies or from other PRPs. However, a portion of these costs is 
eligible for future recovery through the pricing of our products and services to the U.S. Government. 

We  manage  various  government-owned  facilities  on  behalf  of  the  U.S.  Government. At  such  facilities,  environmental 
compliance and remediation costs have historically been primarily the responsibility of the U.S. Government and we relied 
(and continue to rely with respect to past practices) upon U.S. Government funding to pay such costs. While the government 
remains responsible for capital and operating costs associated with environmental compliance, responsibility for fines and 
penalties associated with environmental noncompliance is typically borne by either the U.S. Government or the contractor, 
depending on the contract and the relevant facts. Fines and penalties are unallowable costs under the contracts pursuant to 
which such facilities are managed. 

Most of the U.S. laws governing environmental matters include criminal provisions. If we were to be convicted of a criminal 
violation of certain U.S. federal environmental statutes, including the Federal Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act, the 
facility or facilities involved in the violation would be placed by the EPA on the “Excluded Parties List” maintained by the 
Government Services Administration. The listing would continue until the EPA concluded that the cause of the violation had 
been cured. Listed facilities cannot be used in performing any U.S. Government contract awarded during any period of listing 
by the EPA. 

Additional information regarding the effect of compliance with environmental protection requirements and the resolution of 
environmental claims against us and our operations is contained in Item 1A “Risk Factors,” “Commitments and Contingencies” 
within Item 7 and “Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies” within Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

This Form 10-K and the information we are incorporating by reference contain forward-looking statements within the meaning 
of federal securities laws, including information regarding our financial outlook, future plans, objectives, business prospects, 
products and services, trends and anticipated financial performance including with respect to our liquidity and capital resources, 
our backlog, our pension expense and funding, the impact of new accounting pronouncements, our unrecognized tax benefits 
and the impact and outcome of audits and legal and administrative proceedings, claims, investigations, commitments and 
contingencies, as well as information regarding domestic and international defense spending and budgets. You can identify 
these statements by the fact that they include words such as “will,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” 
“plan,” or variations of these words, or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are not statements of historical 
facts and represent only our current expectations regarding such matters. These statements inherently involve a wide range 
of known and unknown uncertainties. Our actual actions and results could differ materially from what is expressed or implied 
by these statements. Specific factors that could cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those set forth below 
and other important factors disclosed previously and from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. Given these factors, 
as well as other variables that may affect our operating results, you should not rely on forward-looking statements, assume 
that past financial performance will be a reliable indicator of future performance, or use historical trends to anticipate results 
or  trends  in  future  periods. We  expressly  disclaim  any  obligation  or  intention  to  provide  updates  to  the  forward-looking 
statements and the estimates and assumptions associated with them.

We depend on the U.S. Government for a substantial portion of our business, and changes in government defense spending 
and priorities could have consequences on our financial position, results of operations and business.

In 2014, U.S. Government sales, excluding foreign military sales, accounted for approximately 70% of our total net sales. 
Our revenues from the U.S. Government largely result from contracts awarded to us under various U.S. Government programs, 
primarily defense-related programs with the DoD, as well as a broad range of programs with the Intelligence Community and 
other  departments  and  agencies.  The  funding  of  our  programs  is  subject  to  the  overall  U.S.  Government  budget  and 
appropriation decisions and processes which are driven by numerous factors, including geo-political events, macroeconomic 
conditions, and the ability of the U.S. Government to enact relevant legislation, such as appropriations bills and accords on 
the debt ceiling.

U.S. Government appropriations have and likely will continue to be affected by larger U.S. Government budgetary issues and 
related legislation. In 2011, the Congress enacted the Budget Control Act of 2011, as amended by the American Taxpayer 
Relief Act of 2012 (BCA), and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the BCA, a sequestration went 
into effect on March 1, 2013 resulting in a 7.8% reduction to the DoD budget for fiscal year (FY) 2013 to $495.5 billion, 
excluding funding for military personnel. The FY 2014 DoD base budget was essentially flat at $496 billion and FY 2015 
remains at a similar level. 

Unless Congress and the Administration agree to further amend or revoke the BCA, the DoD base budget is expected to 
increase very modestly to approximately $500 billion for FY 2016. In the years beyond FY 2016, the BCA permits annual 
increases  for  DoD  base  budget  funding  of  about  2.4  percent  with  such  caps  remaining  in  effect  through  FY  2023.  The 
Administration has publicly signaled its intent to submit budget requests that are significantly higher than the BCA caps, as 
it did in submitting the FY 2016 budget request and the associated FY 2016 FYDP on February 2, 2015 with all years exceeding 
the caps under the BCA. Such levels of DoD budget funding would require the Congress to enact legislation to raise the BCA 
caps. In the event that DoD appropriations exceed the BCA caps in any fiscal year through FY 2023, an across-the-board 
sequestration would go into effect, as occurred in FY 2013. Conversely, the Congress could choose to reduce any above-BCA 
cap budget request, as it did for FY 2014 appropriations.

In addition, the U.S. Government has, on a number of occasions, been unable to complete its budget process before the end 
of its fiscal year (September 30), which resulted in it operating under a Continuing Resolution (CR) for extended periods, as 
well as a brief partial shutdown of the U.S. Government in October 2013. As a result, future U.S. Government defense spending 
levels are difficult to predict. Significant changes in defense spending or changes in U.S. Government priorities, policies and 
requirements could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. 

12

In addition, we are involved in programs that are classified by the U.S. Government, principally through our IIS and SAS 
business segments, which have security requirements that place limits on our ability to discuss our performance on these 
programs, including any risks, disputes and claims.

Our financial results largely are dependent on our ability to perform on our U.S. Government contracts, which are subject 
to uncertain levels of funding and timing, as well as termination. 

Our financial results largely are dependent on our performance under our U.S. Government contracts. While we are involved 
in numerous programs and are party to thousands of U.S. Government contracts, the termination of one or more of such 
contracts, or the occurrence of delays, cost overruns and product failures in connection with one or more large contracts, could 
negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. Furthermore, we can give no assurance that we 
would be awarded new U.S. Government contracts to offset the revenues lost as a result of termination of any of our contracts. 

The funding of U.S. Government programs is subject to congressional appropriations. Congress generally appropriates funds 
on a fiscal year basis even though a program may extend over several fiscal years. Consequently, programs are often only 
partially  funded  initially  and  additional  funds  are  committed  only  as  Congress  makes  further  appropriations.  The  U.S. 
Government programs in which we participate also must compete with other programs and priorities for consideration and 
funding during the budget and appropriations process. See the discussion above for more information on the risks relating to 
changes in U.S. defense spending levels and priorities.

In addition, when a formal appropriation bill has not been signed into law before the end of the fiscal year, Congress may pass 
a CR that authorizes agencies of the U.S. Government to continue to operate, generally at the same funding levels from the 
prior year, but typically does not authorize new spending initiatives during this period. If Congress fails to enact a CR, the 
U.S. Government may shut down, which likely would result in the closure of government offices and furlough of government 
workers and the lack of funds to pay its contractors for work performed. In addition, if the national debt reaches the statutory 
debt ceiling, which is currently expected to occur in the first half of 2015, the Congress must enact legislation to increase the 
statutory debt ceiling. If Congress fails to do so, then the U.S. Government may default on its debts, which would likely have 
a material adverse effect on the global financial markets.

Until regular appropriation bills are passed, delays can occur in procurement of products and services due to lack of funding, 
and these delays can affect our results of operations, financial position or liquidity during the period of delay. Under certain 
circumstances, we may continue to perform under our U.S. Government contracts without funding and use our own funds in 
order  to  meet  our  customer's  desired  delivery  dates  or  other  requirements.  Furthermore,  if  appropriations  for  one  of  our 
programs become unavailable, or are reduced or delayed, our contract or subcontract under such program may be terminated 
or adjusted by the U.S. Government, which could have a negative impact on our future sales under such contract or subcontract.

In addition, U.S. Government contracts generally also permit the government to terminate the contract, in whole or in part, 
without prior notice, at the U.S. Government's convenience or for default based on performance. If one of our contracts is 
terminated for convenience, we would generally be entitled to payments for our allowable costs and would receive some 
allowance for profit on the work performed. If one of our contracts is terminated for default, we would generally be entitled 
to payments for our work that has been accepted by the U.S. Government. A termination arising out of our default could expose 
us to liability and have a negative impact on our ability to obtain future contracts and orders. Furthermore, on contracts for 
which we  are a  subcontractor and  not the prime  contractor,  the U.S.  Government could terminate the prime contract for 
convenience or otherwise, irrespective of our performance as a subcontractor. 

Our U.S. Government contracts also typically involve the development, application and manufacture of advanced defense 
and technology systems and products aimed at achieving challenging goals. New technologies may be untested or unproven. 
In some instances, product requirements or specifications may be modified. As a result, we may experience technological and 
other performance difficulties, which may result in delays, setbacks, cost overruns and product failures, in connection with 
performing our U.S. Government contracts. Additionally, in order to win certain U.S. Government contracts, we may be 
required to invest in development prior to award as our customers demand more mature and proven solutions. These additional 
investment amounts may not be recouped if we are not chosen for new contract awards.

Our international business is subject to geopolitical and economic factors, regulatory requirements and other risks.

Our international business exposes us to geopolitical and economic factors, regulatory requirements, increasing competition 
and other risks associated with doing business in foreign countries. These risks differ from and potentially may be greater 
than those associated with our domestic business. In 2014, our sales to customers outside the U.S. (including foreign military 
sales through the U.S. Government) accounted for 29% of our total net sales. Our exposure to such risks may increase if our 
international business continues to grow as we anticipate. 

Our international business is sensitive to changes in the priorities and budgets of international customers, which may be driven 
by changes in threat environments, geopolitical uncertainties, volatility in worldwide economic conditions, and various regional 
and local economic and political factors, including volatility in energy prices, changes in U.S. foreign policy, and other risks 
and uncertainties. Our international sales are subject to U.S. laws, regulations and policies, including the ITAR, the FCPA, 
and other anti-corruption and export laws and regulations. We maintain policies and controls to comply with such laws and 
regulations and exercise oversight of such compliance. However, any failure by us or others working on our behalf to comply 
with  these  laws  and  resolutions  could  result  in  criminal,  civil  or  administrative  penalties,  including  fines,  suspension  or 
debarment from government contracts or suspension of our ability to export our products. In addition, due to the nature of 
our products, we must first obtain licenses and authorizations from various U.S. Government agencies before we are permitted 
to sell our products outside of the U.S. We can give no assurance that we will continue to be successful in obtaining the 
necessary licenses or authorizations or that certain sales will not be prevented or delayed. Any significant impairment of our 
ability to sell products outside of the U.S. could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. 

Our international sales are also subject to local government laws, regulations, and procurement policies and practices which 
may differ from U.S. Government regulations. These include regulations relating to import-export control, technology transfer, 
investments, exchange controls and repatriation of earnings. Furthermore, our international sales contracts may be subject to 
non-U.S. contract laws and regulations and include contractual terms that differ from those of similar contracts in the U.S. or 
terms that may be interpreted differently by foreign courts. These contracts may also be subject to termination at the customer's 
convenience or for default based on performance, and may be subject to funding risks. In addition, the timing of orders, 
customer negotiations, governmental approvals and notifications from our international customers can be less predictable than 
from our domestic customers, and this may lead to variations in international bookings and sales each year. We must also 
manage a certain degree of exposure to the risk of currency fluctuations.

Our international business faces substantial competition from both U.S. companies and foreign companies. In some instances, 
foreign companies may receive loans, marketing subsidies and other assistance from their governments which may not be 
available to U.S. Government contractors. In addition, foreign companies may be subject to fewer restrictions on technology 
transfer than U.S. Government contractors.

Our  international  contracts  may  include  industrial  cooperation  agreements  requiring  specific  in-country  purchases, 
manufacturing agreements or financial support obligations, known as offset obligations, and provide for penalties if we fail 
to meet such requirements. Approvals of offset thresholds and requirements may be subjective, time consuming and may delay 
contract awards, and may, in certain countries, require the creation of a joint venture with a local company, which may control 
the venture. This may result in our being liable for violations of law for actions taken by these entities such as laws related to 
anti-corruption, import and export, or local laws which may differ from U.S. laws and requirements. Such offset obligations 
are generally multi-year arrangements and may provide for penalties in the event we fail to perform in accordance with the 
offset requirements. We also are exposed to risks associated with using third-party foreign representatives and consultants for 
international sales and operations, and teaming with international subcontractors, partners and suppliers in connection with 
international programs. As a result of these factors, we could experience financial penalties, award and funding delays on 
international programs and could incur losses on such programs which could negatively impact our results of operations, 
financial condition or liquidity.

As a U.S. Government contractor, we are subject to extensive procurement rules and regulations, and changes in such 
rules, regulations and business practice could negatively affect current programs and potential awards. 

Government contractors must also comply with specific procurement regulations and other requirements including import 
and export, security, contract pricing and cost, contract termination and adjustment, audit and product integrity requirements. 
These requirements, although customary in U.S. Government contracts, impact our performance and compliance costs. In 

14

 
addition,  current  U.S.  Government  budgetary  constraints  have  and  may  continue  to  lead  to  changes  in  the  procurement 
environment. For example, the DoD continues initiatives focused on efficiencies, affordability and cost growth and other 
changes to its procurement practices such as changes in payment term preferences. If and to the extent additional changes 
occur as a result of these initiatives or otherwise, they could impact our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, 
and could affect whether and, if so, how we pursue certain opportunities and the terms under which we are able to do so. 

In addition, failure to comply with the procurement regulations and requirements could result in reductions of the value of 
contracts, contract modifications or termination, cash withholds on contract payments, and the assessment of penalties and 
fines, which could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. Our failure to comply with 
these regulations and requirements could also lead to suspension or debarment, for cause, from U.S. Government contracting 
or subcontracting for a period of time. Among the causes for debarment are violations of various statutes, including those 
related to procurement integrity, export control, U.S. Government security regulations, employment practices, protection of 
the environment, accuracy of records and the recording of costs, and foreign corruption. The termination of a U.S. Government 
contract as a result of any of these acts could have a negative impact on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity 
and could have a negative impact on our reputation and ability to procure other U.S. Government contracts in the future.

Our future success depends on our ability to develop new offerings and technologies for our current and future markets.

To achieve our business strategies and continue to grow our revenues and operating profit, we must successfully develop new 
offerings and technologies or adapt or modify our existing offerings and technologies for our current core defense markets 
and our future markets, including new international, civil, commercial, growth and emerging markets. Accordingly, our future 
performance depends on a number of factors, including our ability to:

Identify the needs of, and growth opportunities in, new and emerging markets;
Identify emerging technological and other trends in our current and future markets;
Identify additional uses for our existing technology to address customer needs in our current and future markets; 

- 
- 
- 
-  Develop and maintain competitive products and services for our current and future markets; 
-  Enhance our offerings by adding innovative features that differentiate our offerings from those of our competitors;
-  Develop, manufacture and bring solutions to market quickly at cost-effective prices;
-  Enhance product designs for export and releasability to international markets; and
-  Effectively  structure  our  businesses,  through  the  use  of  joint  ventures,  collaborative  agreements  and  other  forms  of 

alliances, to reflect the competitive environment.

We believe that, in order to remain competitive in the future, we will need to continue to invest significant financial resources 
to develop new offerings and technologies or to adapt or modify our existing offerings and technologies, including through 
internal research and development, acquisitions and joint ventures or other teaming arrangements. We believe this is true to 
meet demands and expand within both our domestic and international markets. These expenditures could divert our attention 
and resources from other projects, and we cannot be sure that these expenditures will ultimately lead to the timely development 
of new offerings and technologies or identification of and expansion into new markets. Due to the design complexity of our 
products, we may in the future experience delays in completing the development and introduction of new products. Any delays 
could result in increased costs of development or deflect resources from other projects. In addition, there can be no assurance 
that the market for our offerings will develop or continue to expand or that we will be successful in newly identified markets 
as we currently anticipate or that the acquisitions, joint ventures or other teaming arrangements we may enter into in pursuit 
of developing new offerings and technologies will be successful. The failure of our technology to gain market acceptance 
could significantly reduce our revenues and harm our business. Furthermore, we cannot be sure that our competitors will not 
develop competing technologies which gain market acceptance in advance of our products.

Additionally,  the  possibility  exists  that  our  competitors might  develop  new  technology  or  offerings  that  might cause  our 
existing technology and offerings to become obsolete. If we fail in our new product development efforts or our products or 
services fail to achieve market acceptance more rapidly than our competitors, our ability to procure new contracts could be 
negatively impacted, which would negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.

15

Competition within our markets may reduce our revenues and market share.

We operate in highly competitive markets and our competitors may have more extensive or more specialized engineering, 
manufacturing and marketing capabilities than we do in some areas. We anticipate increasing competition in our core markets 
as a result of continued defense industry consolidation, including cross-border consolidation of competition, which has enabled 
companies to enhance their competitive position and ability to compete against us. We are also facing heightened competition 
in our domestic and international markets from foreign and multinational firms. In addition, as discussed in more detail above, 
increased pressure to limit U.S. defense spending and changes in the U.S. Government procurement environment may limit 
certain future market opportunities. For example, the DoD increasingly is committed to awarding contracts through competitive 
bidding and relying on competitive contract award types. Additionally, some customers, including the DoD, are increasingly 
turning to commercial contractors, rather than traditional defense contractors, for information technology and other support 
work. If we are unable to continue to compete successfully against our current or future competitors, we may experience 
declines in revenues and market share which could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. 
In addition, due to the current competitive environment, we continue to see an increase in bid protests from unsuccessful 
bidders on new program awards. Generally, a bid protest will delay the start of contract activities, delay earnings, and could 
result in the award decision being overturned, requiring a re-bid of the contract.

We enter into fixed-price and other contracts which could subject us to losses in the event that we experience cost growth 
that cannot be billed to customers.

Generally, our customer contracts are either fixed-priced or cost reimbursable contracts. Under fixed-priced contracts, which 
represent approximately 60% of our backlog, we receive a fixed price irrespective of the actual costs we incur and, consequently, 
we carry the burden of any cost overruns. Due to their nature, fixed-priced contracts inherently have more risk than cost 
reimbursable contracts, particularly fixed-price development contracts where the costs to complete the development stage of 
the program can be highly variable, uncertain and difficult to estimate. Under cost reimbursable contracts, subject to a contract-
ceiling amount in certain cases, we are reimbursed for allowable costs and paid a fee, which may be fixed or performance 
based. If our costs exceed the contract ceiling and are not authorized by the customer or are not allowable under the contract 
or applicable regulations, we may not be able to obtain reimbursement for all such costs and our fees may be reduced or 
eliminated.  Because  many  of  our  contracts  involve  advanced  designs  and  innovative  technologies,  we  may  experience 
unforeseen technological difficulties and cost overruns. Under both types of contracts, if we are unable to control costs or if 
our initial cost estimates are incorrect, we can lose money on these contracts. In addition, some of our contracts have provisions 
relating to cost controls and audit rights, and if we fail to meet the terms specified in those contracts, we may not realize their 
full  benefits.  Lower  earnings  caused  by  cost  overruns  and  cost  controls  would  have  a  negative  impact  on  our  results  of 
operations.

Our business could be adversely affected by a negative audit or investigatory finding by the U.S. Government.

As a government contractor, we are subject to audits and investigations by U.S. Government agencies including the DCAA, 
the DCMA, the Inspector General of the DoD and other departments and agencies, the Government Accountability Office, 
the Department of Justice (DoJ) and Congressional Committees. From time to time, these and other agencies investigate or 
conduct audits to determine whether a contractor’s operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable requirements. 
The DCAA and DCMA also review the adequacy of and a contractor's compliance with its internal control systems and policies, 
including the contractor's accounting, purchasing, property, estimating, earned value management and material management 
accounting systems. Our final allowable incurred costs for each year are also subject to audit and have from time to time 
resulted in disputes between us and the U.S. Government. In addition, the DoJ has, from time to time, convened grand juries 
to  investigate  possible  irregularities  by  us. Any  costs  found  to  be  improperly  allocated  to  a  specific  contract  will  not  be 
reimbursed or must be refunded if already reimbursed. If an audit or investigation uncovers improper or illegal activities, we 
may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, which may include termination of contracts, 
forfeiture  of  profits,  suspension  of  payments,  fines  and  suspension  or  prohibition  from  doing  business  with  the  U.S. 
Government. In addition, we could suffer serious reputational harm if allegations of impropriety were made against us.

16

We depend on component availability, subcontractor performance and our key suppliers to manufacture and deliver our 
products and services. 

We are dependent upon the delivery by suppliers of materials and the assembly by subcontractors of major components and 
subsystems used in our products in a timely and satisfactory manner and in full compliance with applicable terms and conditions. 
Some products require relatively scarce raw materials. We also are subject to specific procurement requirements that may, in 
effect,  limit  the  suppliers  and  subcontractors  we  may  utilize,  including  requirements  for  genuine  original  equipment 
manufacturer parts. As we continue to seek further cost efficiencies throughout the enterprise, we may centralize procurements 
in order to attain better pricing through strategic sourcing.

In some instances, we are dependent on sole-source suppliers. If any of these suppliers or subcontractors fails to meet our 
needs or becomes insolvent, we may not have readily available alternatives or alternatives at prices that meet the demands of 
our customers. While we enter into long-term or volume purchase agreements with certain suppliers and take other actions, 
such as accelerating supplier payments commensurate with value delivered, to ensure financial viability and the availability 
of needed materials, components and subsystems, we cannot be sure that such items will be available in the quantities we 
require, if at all. In addition, some of our suppliers or subcontractors, especially smaller entities, may continue to be impacted 
by global economic conditions, which could impair their ability to meet their obligations to us. If we experience a material 
supplier or subcontractor problem, our ability to satisfactorily and timely complete our customer obligations could be negatively 
impacted which could result in reduced sales, termination of contracts and damage to our reputation and relationships with 
our customers. We could also incur additional costs in addressing such a problem. Any of these events could have a negative 
impact on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. In addition, we must comply with other procurement 
requirements, including restrictions on the use of certain chemicals in the European Union and conducting diligence and 
providing disclosure regarding the use of certain minerals, known as conflict minerals, which may impact our procurement 
practices and increase our costs. 

We use estimates in accounting for many of our programs, and changes in our estimates could adversely affect our future 
financial results. 

Contract accounting requires judgment relative to assessing risks, including risks associated with customer-directed delays 
and reductions in scheduled deliveries, unfavorable resolutions of claims and contractual matters, judgments associated with 
estimating contract revenues and costs, and assumptions for schedule and technical issues. Due to the size and nature of many 
of our contracts, the estimation of total revenues and cost at completion is complicated and subject to many variables. For 
example, we must make assumptions regarding the length of time to complete the contract because costs also include expected 
increases in wages and prices for materials; consider whether the intent of entering into multiple contracts was effectively to 
enter into a single project in order to determine whether such contracts should be combined or segmented; consider incentives 
or penalties related to performance on contracts in estimating sales and profit rates, and record them when there is sufficient 
information for us to assess anticipated performance; and use estimates of award fees in estimating sales and profit rates based 
on actual and anticipated awards. Because of the significance of the judgments and estimation processes described above, it 
is likely that materially different amounts could be recorded if we used different assumptions or if the underlying circumstances 
were to change. Changes in underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates may adversely affect our future results of 
operations and financial condition.

For a complete discussion regarding how our financial statements can be affected by contract accounting policies, see “Critical 
Accounting Estimates” beginning on page 34 within Item 7 of this Form 10-K.

Significant changes in key estimates and assumptions, such as discount rates and assumed long-term return on assets 
(ROA), as well as our actual investment returns on our pension plan assets and other actuarial factors, could affect our 
earnings, equity and pension contributions in future periods. 

We must determine our pension and other postretirement benefit plans' expense or income which involves significant judgment, 
particularly with respect to our discount rate, long-term ROA and other actuarial assumptions. If our assumptions change 
significantly due to changes in economic, legislative, and/or demographic experience or circumstances, our pension and other 
postretirement benefit plans' expense and funded status, and our cash contributions to such plans, could negatively change 
which would negatively impact our results of operations. In addition, differences between our actual investment returns and 
our long-term ROA assumption would result in a change to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans' expense and 

17

 
funded status and our required contributions to the plans. They may also be impacted by changes in regulatory, accounting 
and other requirements applicable to pensions.

For a complete discussion regarding how our financial statements can be affected by pension and other postretirement benefit 
plan accounting policies, see “Critical Accounting Estimates” beginning on page 34 within Item 7 of this Form 10-K. 

We have made, and expect to continue to make, strategic acquisitions and investments, and these activities involve risks 
and uncertainties. 

In pursuing our business strategies, we continually review, evaluate and consider potential investments and acquisitions. We 
undertake  to  identify  acquisition  or  investment  opportunities  that  will  complement  our  existing  products  and  services  or 
customer base, as well as expand our offerings and market reach into new areas that naturally extend from our core capabilities. 
In evaluating such transactions, we are required to make difficult judgments regarding the value of business opportunities, 
technologies and other assets, and the risks and cost of potential liabilities. Furthermore, acquisitions and investments involve 
certain other risks and uncertainties, including the risks involved with entering new markets, the difficulty in integrating newly-
acquired  businesses,  the  challenges  in  achieving  strategic  objectives  and  other  benefits  expected  from  acquisitions  or 
investments, the diversion of our attention and resources from our operations and other initiatives, the potential impairment 
of acquired assets and liabilities, the performance of underlying products, capabilities or technologies and the potential loss 
of key employees and customers of the acquired businesses.

We have entered, and expect to continue to enter, into joint venture, teaming and other arrangements, and these activities 
involve risks and uncertainties. 

We have entered, and expect to continue to enter, into joint venture, teaming and other collaborative arrangements. These 
activities  involve  risks  and  uncertainties,  including  the  risk  of  the  joint  venture  or  applicable  entity  failing  to  satisfy  its 
obligations, which may result in certain liabilities to us for guarantees and other commitments, difficulties in achieving strategic 
objectives and expected benefits of the business arrangement, the risk of conflicts arising between us and our partners and 
the difficulty of managing and resolving such conflicts, and the difficulty of managing or otherwise monitoring such business 
arrangements.

Goodwill and other intangible assets represent a significant portion of our assets, and any impairment of these assets could 
negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.

At  December 31,  2014,  we  had  goodwill  and  other  intangible  assets  of  approximately  $13.7  billion,  net  of  accumulated 
amortization, which represented approximately 49% of our total assets. Our goodwill is subject to an impairment test on an 
annual basis and is also tested whenever events and circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. Any excess goodwill 
resulting from the impairment test must be written off in the period of determination. Intangible assets (other than goodwill) 
are generally amortized over the useful life of such assets. In addition, from time to time, we may acquire or make an investment 
in a business which will require us to record goodwill based on the purchase price and the value of the acquired assets. We 
may subsequently experience unforeseen issues which adversely affect the value of our goodwill or intangible assets and 
trigger an evaluation of the recoverability of the recorded goodwill and intangible assets. Future determinations of significant 
write-offs of goodwill or intangible assets as a result of an impairment test or any accelerated amortization of other intangible 
assets could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition. 

For a complete discussion regarding how our financial statements can be affected by goodwill accounting policies, see “Critical 
Accounting Estimates” beginning on page 34 within Item 7 of this Form 10-K. 

Our business could be negatively impacted by cybersecurity threats and other security threats and disruptions. 

As a U.S. defense contractor, we face certain security threats, including threats to our information technology infrastructure, 
attempts to gain access to our proprietary or classified information, threats to physical security, and possible domestic terrorism 
events. Our information technology networks and related systems are critical to the operation of our business and essential to 
our ability to successfully perform day-to-day operations. We are also involved with information technology systems for 
certain customers and other third parties, which generally face similar security threats. Cybersecurity threats in particular are 
persistent, evolve quickly and include, but are not limited to, computer viruses, attempts to access information, denial of 

18

 
 
 
 
 
service and other electronic security breaches. We believe we have implemented appropriate measures and controls and we 
have invested in highly skilled IT resources to appropriately identify threats and mitigate potential risks, but there can be no 
assurance that such actions will be sufficient to prevent disruptions to mission critical systems, the unauthorized release of 
confidential information or corruption of data. Although we have in the past and will in the future be the subject of such 
cybersecurity incidents, to date none have had a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. 
Nonetheless, these types of events could disrupt our operations or customer and other third-party IT systems in which we are 
involved. They also could require significant management attention and resources, and could negatively impact our reputation 
among our customers and the public, which could have a negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations or 
liquidity.

The outcome of litigation in which we have been named as a defendant is unpredictable, and an adverse decision in any 
such matter could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

We are the defendant in a number of litigation matters and are subject to various other claims, demands and investigations. 
These matters may divert financial and management resources that would otherwise be used to benefit our operations. No 
assurances can be given that the results of these matters will be favorable to us. An adverse resolution or outcome of any of 
these lawsuits, claims, demands or investigations could have a negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations 
or liquidity.

We depend on the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel, and our failure to attract and retain such personnel 
could seriously harm our business. 

Due to the specialized nature of our business, our future performance is highly dependent upon the continued services of our 
key engineering personnel and executive officers, the development of additional management personnel and the hiring of new 
qualified  engineering,  manufacturing,  marketing,  sales  and  management  personnel  for  our  operations.  Competition  for 
personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting or retaining qualified personnel. In addition, certain personnel 
may be required to receive security clearance and substantial training in order to work on certain programs or perform certain 
tasks. The loss of key employees, our inability to attract new qualified employees or adequately train employees, or the delay 
in hiring key personnel could seriously harm our business.

Some of our workforce is represented by labor unions, so our business could be harmed in the event of a prolonged work 
stoppage. 

Approximately  5,000  of  our  employees  are  unionized,  which  represents  approximately  8%  of  our  employee  base  at 
December 31, 2014. As a result, we may experience work stoppages, which could adversely affect our business. We cannot 
predict how stable our union relationships will be or whether we will be able to successfully negotiate successor agreements 
without impacting our financial condition. In addition, the presence of unions may limit our flexibility in dealing with our 
workforce. Work stoppages could negatively impact our ability to manufacture our products on a timely basis, which could 
negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.

We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, which could affect our ability to compete. 

We own many U.S. and foreign patents and patent applications, and have rights in unpatented know-how, data, software, 
trademarks  and  copyrights. The  U.S.  Government  has  licenses  under  certain  of  our  patents  and  certain  other  intellectual 
property that are developed or used in performance of government contracts, and it may use or authorize others, including 
our competitors, to use such patents and intellectual property for government and other purposes. The U.S. Government may 
challenge the sufficiency of intellectual property rights we have granted in U.S. Government contracts and attempt to obtain 
greater  rights. There  can  be  no  assurance  that  any  of  our  patents  and  other  intellectual  property  will  not  be  challenged, 
invalidated, misappropriated or circumvented by third parties. In some instances, we have augmented our technology base by 
licensing the proprietary intellectual property of others. In the future, we may not be able to obtain necessary licenses on 
commercially  reasonable  terms.  We  enter  into  confidentiality  and  intellectual  property  assignment  agreements  with  our 
employees and enter into non-disclosure agreements with our suppliers and appropriate customers so as to limit access to and 
prevent  disclosure  of  our  trade  secrets  and  other  proprietary  information.  These  measures  may  not  suffice  to  deter 
misappropriation or third-party development of similar technologies. Moreover, the laws concerning intellectual property vary 

19

 
 
 
among nations and the protection provided to our intellectual property by the laws and courts of foreign nations may not be 
as advantageous to us as the remedies available under U.S. law.

Our operations expose us to the risk of material environmental liabilities. 

We use hazardous substances and generate hazardous wastes in our manufacturing operations. As a result, we are subject to 
potentially material liabilities related to personal injuries or property damage that may be caused by hazardous substance 
releases and exposures. For example, we are investigating and remediating contamination related to past practices at a number 
of properties and, in some cases, have been named as a defendant in related “toxic tort” claims. 

We are also subject to laws and regulations that: (i) impose requirements for the proper management, treatment, storage and 
disposal  of  hazardous  substances  and  wastes;  (ii)  restrict  air  and  water  emissions  from  our  operations  (including  U.S. 
Government-owned facilities we manage); and (iii) require maintenance of a safe workplace. These laws and regulations can 
impose  substantial  fines  and  criminal  sanctions  for  violations,  and  may  require  the  installation  of  costly  equipment  or 
operational changes to limit pollution emissions, decrease the likelihood of accidental hazardous substance releases and/or 
reduce the risks of injury to people in our workplaces. 

If we were to be convicted of a criminal violation of certain U.S. federal environmental statutes, including the Federal Clean 
Air Act and the Clean Water Act, the facility or facilities involved in the violation would be placed by the EPA on the “Excluded 
Parties List” maintained by the Government Services Administration. The listing would continue until the EPA concluded 
that the cause of the violation had been cured. Listed facilities cannot be used in performing any U.S. Government contract 
awarded during any period of listing by the EPA.

We incur, and expect to continue to incur, capital and operating costs to comply with these laws and regulations. In addition, 
new laws and regulations, changes in the interpretation and enforcement of existing laws and regulations, the discovery of 
previously unknown contamination, or the imposition of new clean-up standards could require us to incur costs in the future 
that would have a negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

We face certain significant risk exposures and potential liabilities that may not be adequately covered by indemnity or 
insurance. 

A significant portion of our business relates to designing, developing and manufacturing advanced defense and technology 
systems and products. New technologies may be untested or unproven. In addition, we may incur significant liabilities that 
are unique to our products and services, including but not limited to missile systems, command and control systems, border 
security systems, and air traffic management systems. In some, but not all, circumstances, we may be entitled to indemnification 
from  our  customers  through  contractual  provisions,  and  obtain  limitations  of  liability  and  additional  defenses  from  the 
qualification of our products and services by the DHS under the SAFETY Act provisions of the Homeland Security Act of 
2002, or otherwise. The amount of the insurance coverage we maintain or indemnification to which we may be contractually 
or  otherwise  entitled  may  not  be  adequate  to  cover  all  claims  or  liabilities,  and  it  is  not  possible  to  obtain  insurance  or 
indemnification  coverage  to  protect  against  all  operational  risks  and  liabilities. Accordingly,  we  may  be  forced  to  bear 
substantial costs resulting from risks and uncertainties of our business which would negatively impact our results of operations, 
financial condition or liquidity. 

Unanticipated changes in our tax provisions or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect our profitability. 

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and many foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining 
our worldwide provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations 
where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Furthermore, changes in domestic or foreign income tax laws and regulations, 
or their interpretation, could result in higher or lower income tax rates assessed or changes in the taxability of certain sales or 
the deductibility of certain expenses, thereby affecting our income tax expense and profitability. In addition, we are regularly 
under audit by tax authorities. The final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different 
from our historical income tax provisions and accruals. Additionally, changes in the geographic mix of our sales could impact 
our tax liabilities and affect our income tax expense and profitability.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

We and our subsidiaries operate in a number of plants, laboratories, warehouses and office facilities in the U.S. and abroad.

As of December 31, 2014 we owned, leased and/or utilized (through operating agreements) approximately 28.3 million square 
feet of floor space for manufacturing, engineering, research, administration, sales and warehousing, approximately 93% of 
which was located in the U.S. Of the total, approximately 50% was owned (or held under a long-term ground lease with 
ownership of the improvements), approximately 45% was leased, and approximately 5% was Government owned. In addition 
to the 28.3 million square feet of floor space described above, approximately 317,896 square feet of space was leased or 
subleased by us to unrelated third parties.

There are no major encumbrances on any of our facilities other than financing arrangements, which in the aggregate are not 
material. In the opinion of management, our properties have been well maintained, are suitable and adequate for us to operate 
at present levels, and the productive capacity and extent of utilization of the facilities are appropriate for our existing real 
estate requirements.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We primarily engage in providing products and services under contracts with the U.S. Government and, to a lesser degree, 
under direct foreign sales contracts, some of which the U.S. Government funds. As a U.S. Government contractor, we are 
subject to many levels of audit and investigation by the U.S. Government relating to our contract performance and compliance 

21

 
 
 
 
 
 
with applicable rules and regulations. Agencies that oversee contract performance include: the DCAA, the DCMA, the Inspector 
General of the DoD and other departments and agencies, the Government Accountability Office, the DoJ and Congressional 
Committees. From time to time, these and other agencies investigate or conduct audits to determine whether our operations 
are being conducted in accordance with applicable requirements. Such investigations and audits could result in administrative, 
civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, the suspension of government 
export licenses or the suspension or debarment from future U.S. Government contracting. U.S. Government investigations 
often take years to complete and many result in no adverse action against us. Our final allowable incurred costs for each year 
are also subject to audit and have from time to time resulted in disputes between us and the U.S. Government with litigation 
resulting at the Court of Federal Claims (COFC) or the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) or their related 
courts of appeals. In addition, the DoJ has, from time to time, convened grand juries to investigate possible irregularities by 
us. We also provide products and services to customers outside of the U.S. and those sales are subject to local government 
laws, regulations, and procurement policies and practices. Our compliance with such local government regulations or any 
applicable  U.S.  Government  regulations  (e.g.,  the  FCPA  and  ITAR)  may  also  be  investigated  or  audited.  Other  than  as 
specifically disclosed in this Form 10-K, we do not expect these audits, investigations or disputes to have a material effect on 
our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, either individually or in the aggregate.

On August 18, 2010, the U.K. Border Agency (UKBA) initiated arbitration proceedings in the London Court of International 
Arbitration against Raytheon Systems Limited (RSL) in connection with the parties' dispute with respect to the UKBA's 
termination of RSL for cause on a program. The UKBA claimed that RSL had failed to perform on certain key milestones and 
other matters, and that the UKBA was entitled to recovery of certain losses incurred and previous payments made to RSL. In 
March 2011, the UKBA gave notice that it had presented a demand to draw on the approximately $80 million of letters of 
credit provided by RSL upon the signing of the contract with the UKBA in 2007. At RSL's request, the Arbitration Tribunal 
(Tribunal) initially issued an interim order restraining the drawdown but, following a hearing on the issue, lifted the restraint 
and concluded that any decision on the UKBA's right to call on the letters of credit is inextricably intertwined with the ultimate 
decision on the merits in the arbitration. The Tribunal also preserved RSL's right to claim damages should RSL later establish 
that the drawdown was not valid. To date, the UKBA has submitted total net claims in the arbitration of approximately £302 
million (approximately $470 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2014) for damages, clawback of 
previous payments, and interest, and inclusion of a credit for capability delivered by RSL. RSL has submitted in the arbitration 
its  defenses  to  the  UKBA  claim  as  well  as  substantial  counterclaims  in  the  amount  of  approximately  £500  million 
(approximately $778 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2014) against the UKBA for the collection 
of receivables, damages and interest. Arbitration hearings commenced in late 2012 and were completed in 2013. We continue 
to  believe  that  the  receivables  and  other  assets  remaining  under  the  program  for  technology  and  services  delivered  of 
approximately $40 million at December 31, 2014 are probable of recovery.

On August 15, 2014, RSL received a decision from the Tribunal. The Tribunal found that the UKBA had unlawfully terminated 
RSL for default and had therefore repudiated the eBorders contract with RSL. Accordingly, the Tribunal denied the UKBA's 
claims for damages and clawback of previous payments. In addition, the Tribunal found that the UKBA had wrongfully retained 
the $80 million it had drawn on RSL letters of credit in April 2011. The Tribunal awarded RSL approximately £185 million 
(approximately $288 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2014) as payment for capabilities delivered, 
damages and other monetary relief. The Tribunal reserved ruling on costs and on the quantification of interest payable to RSL 
for a later date.

On September 15, 2014, the UKBA filed a challenge to the award in the London High Court. RSL is vigorously opposing 
such challenge. The payment of amounts awarded to RSL is now pending resolution of the challenge. Due to the inherent 
uncertainties of arbitration and litigation, no amounts regarding this matter were recorded in our financial results for the year 
ended December 31, 2014.

Additional information regarding arbitration with the UKBA is contained in “Commitments and Contingencies” within Item 7 
and “Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies” within Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

In addition, various other claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal course of business are pending or 
threatened against us. We do not expect these proceedings to result in any additional liability that would materially affect our 
financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Introduction
Raytheon Company develops technologically advanced and integrated products, services and solutions in our core markets: 
sensing;  effects;  command,  control,  communications  and  intelligence  (C3I);  and  mission  support,  as  well  as  cyber  and 
information security. We serve both domestic and international customers, as both a prime contractor and subcontractor on a 
broad portfolio of defense and related programs primarily for government customers.  

We operate in four business segments: Integrated Defense Systems (IDS); Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS); Missile 
Systems  (MS);  and  Space  and Airborne  Systems  (SAS).  For  a  more  detailed  description of  our  segments,  see  “Business 
Segments” within Item 1 of this Form 10-K.

In this section, we discuss our industry and how certain factors may affect our business, key elements of our strategy, and 
how our financial performance is assessed and measured by management.

Industry Considerations

Domestic Considerations
Faced with significant budget pressures, in recent years, the U.S. Government has implemented reductions in government 
spending, including reductions in appropriations for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and other federal agencies, pursuant 
to the Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA), as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 and the Bipartisan Budget 
Act of 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the BCA, a sequestration went into effect in March 2013 resulting in a 7.8% reduction 
to the DoD budget for fiscal year (FY) 2013 to $495.5 billion, excluding funding for military personnel. The DoD budget was 
approximately $496 billion in FY 2014 and remains at a similar level in FY 2015. The DoD base budget excludes funding for 
overseas contingency operations, such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, which are appropriated separately and are not currently 
subject to the BCA.

Under the BCA, funding for the DoD base budget is expected to increase very modestly to approximately $500 billion for FY 
2016. In the years beyond FY 2016, the BCA permits annual increases for DoD base budget funding of about 2.4% with such 
caps remaining in force through FY 2023. The Administration has publicly signaled its intent to submit DoD budget requests 
that are significantly higher than the BCA caps, as it did in submitting the FY 2016 budget request and the associated FY 2016 
FYDP on February 2, 2015 with all years exceeding the caps under the BCA. Such levels of DoD budget funding would 
require the Congress to enact legislation to raise the BCA caps. In the event DoD appropriations exceed the BCA caps in any 
fiscal year through FY 2023, across-the-board sequestration would go into effect, as occurred in 2013.

29

 
 
 
 
Consequently, the DoD’s overall future spending levels remain uncertain and we are unable to specifically predict potential 
changes to future DoD budgets on our programs and the effect that the foregoing would have on our future financial performance 
and outlook. The impact of sequestration on our 2013 and 2014 total net sales was less in each case than the FY 2013 7.8% 
reduction noted above due to our international business, our position relative to critical DoD priorities and mission areas, and 
the length of time that it takes for sequestration reductions to impact future contracts. We believe that the risk of future impacts 
would similarly be balanced due to our focus on expanding further into international, civil and commercial markets that 
naturally extend from our core capabilities. However, in the event that BCA funding levels continue, or if other actions are 
taken to significantly reduce the DoD budget, it is possible that such reductions and related cancellations or delays affecting 
our existing contracts or programs could have a significant impact on the operating results of our business.

U.S. Government appropriations have and likely will continue to be affected by larger U.S. Government budgetary issues and 
related legislation. When a formal appropriation bill has not been signed into law before the end of the fiscal year, Congress 
may pass a Continuing Resolution (CR) that authorizes agencies of the U.S. Government to continue to operate, generally at 
the same funding levels from the prior year, but typically does not authorize new spending initiatives during this period. If 
Congress fails to enact a CR, the U.S. Government may shut down, which likely would result in the closure of government 
offices and furlough of government workers, as well as impact the availability of funds to pay its contractors for work performed. 
In addition, if the national debt reaches the statutory debt ceiling, which is currently expected to occur in the first half of 2015, 
the Congress must enact legislation to increase the statutory debt ceiling. If the Congress fails to do so, then the U.S. Government 
may default on its debts, which would likely have a material adverse effect on the global financial markets.

With respect to U.S. defense priorities, the DoD conducted a Strategic Choices and Management Review (SCMR) in 2013 to 
provide its leadership with various options to meet the DoD’s strategic objectives in light of sequestration and the budgetary 
uncertainty the DoD faces. As a result of the SCMR, the DoD reiterated its commitment to the strategic guidance issued in 
January  2012  regarding  its  priorities  through  2019  and  possibly  beyond. The  2012  DoD  guidance identified the  primary 
missions  of  the  U.S.  armed  forces  and  the  capabilities  expected  to  be  critical  to  future  success,  including  intelligence, 
surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), missile defense, electronic warfare, unmanned systems, special operations forces, 
interoperability with allied forces and cybersecurity. The SCMR acknowledged that under decreased spending levels due to 
sequestration, the DoD would not meet all of its strategic objectives, but did not identify the impacted specific objectives nor 
the extent to which they would not be met. These priorities and acknowledgement of not meeting certain objectives were 
largely  reaffirmed  in  both  the  DoD’s  2014  Quadrennial  Defense  Review  (QDR),  a  congressionally-mandated  report  that 
addresses the DoD’s long-term strategies and priorities, and the July 2014 review by the National Defense Panel, a bi-partisan 
group of senior civilians and military officers appointed by Congress to review the QDR. 

U.S. Government sales, excluding foreign military sales, accounted for 70% of our total net sales in 2014. Our principal U.S. 
Government customer is the DoD. Given the current budget environment, including the elements noted above, future domestic 
defense spending levels are difficult to predict. A number of additional factors potentially impacting the DoD budget include 
the following:
-  External threats to our national security, including potential security threats posed by terrorists, emerging nuclear states 

- 

and other countries;
Support for on-going operations overseas, including countering terrorism, which will require funding above and beyond 
the DoD base budget for their duration;

-  Cost-cutting measures implemented by the DoD, such as the “Better Buying Power" initiative, to ensure more efficient 

- 

use of its resources in order to sufficiently fund its highest priorities; 
Priorities of the Administration and the Congress, including but not limited to deficit reduction, which could result in 
changes in the overall DoD budget and various allocations within the DoD budget; and
-  The overall health of the U.S. and world economies and the state of governmental finances.

Although future defense spending levels are uncertain due to the BCA, among other factors, we expect the DoD to continue 
to prioritize and protect the key capabilities required to execute its strategy, including ISR, cybersecurity, missile defense, 
electronic warfare, unmanned systems, special operations forces and interoperability with allied forces. We believe those 
priorities are well aligned with our product offerings, technologies, services and capabilities.

With respect to other domestic customers beyond the DoD, we have contracts with a wide range of U.S. Government agencies, 
including the Department of Justice (DoJ), the Department of State, the Department of Energy, the Intelligence Community, 
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Department 

30

of  Homeland Security (DHS).  Similar to the  budget environment for the DoD,  we  expect the Administration to take the 
spending limits imposed by the BCA into account when determining spending priorities for these agencies. Our relationship 
with these agencies generally is determined more by specific program requirements than by a direct correlation to the overall 
funding levels for these agencies; however, further changes in government spending priorities may adversely impact these 
specific programs. We also have contracts with various state and local government agencies that also are subject to budget 
constraints and conflicts in spending priorities.

We currently are involved in over 15,000 contracts, with no single contract accounting for more than 5% of our total net sales 
in  2014. Although  we  believe  our  diverse  portfolio  of  programs  and  capabilities  is  well  suited  to  a  changing  defense 
environment, we face numerous challenges and risks, as discussed above. For more information on the risks and uncertainties 
that could impact the U.S. Government's demand for our products and services, see Item 1A “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-
K.

International Considerations
In 2014, our sales to customers outside of the U.S. accounted for 29% of our total net sales (including foreign military sales 
through the U.S. Government). Internationally, the growing threat of additional terrorist activity, cyber threats, emerging 
nuclear states, long-range missiles and conventional military threats have led to an increase in demand for defense systems 
and services and other security solutions. In North Asia, both short- and long-term regional security concerns are increasing 
demand for air and missile defense, air/naval modernization, and maritime security. In the Middle East and North Africa, 
threats  from  state  and  emerging  non-state  actors  are  increasing  demand  for  air  and  missile  defense,  air/land/naval  force 
modernization,  precision  engagement,  ISR,  maritime  and  border  security,  and  cybersecurity  solutions.  Given  such  threat 
environments, we expect our customers to continue to prioritize security investments even if their budgets are impacted by 
volatile short-term energy prices. In South and Central America, economic growth in certain developing countries is being 
accompanied by an increase in defense spending. While this region has traditionally been a smaller market for U.S.-based 
defense contractors, defense spending in such region is likely to grow at rates faster than those of other regions in the future 
and attract more U.S.-based suppliers. In Europe, nations continue to manage downward pressure on defense spending as their 
governments grapple with regional economic challenges and reprioritize accordingly. While these economic challenges may 
continue to restrain and even reduce the defense budgets of certain European nations, others have made commitments to 
increase spending in response to recent geopolitical events and conflicts in Eastern Europe and the resulting uncertainty and 
security threat environment. Based on the foregoing, we expect that European nations will continue to seek advanced air and 
missile defense capabilities. Overall, we believe many international defense budgets have the potential to grow and to do so 
at a faster rate than the U.S. defense budget.

International customers have and are expected to continue to adopt defense modernization initiatives similar to the DoD. We 
believe this trend will continue as many international customers are facing threat environments similar to that of the U.S. and 
they are looking for advanced weapons and sensor systems. Alliance members also wish to assure their forces and systems 
will be interoperable with U.S. and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces. However, international demand is 
sensitive to changes in the priorities and budgets of international customers and geopolitical uncertainties, which may be 
driven by changes in threat environments, volatility in worldwide economic conditions, regional and local economic and 
political factors, U.S. foreign policy and other risks and uncertainties. For more information on the risks and uncertainties 
that could impact international demand for our products and services, see Item 1A “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K.

Our Strategy
The following are the broad elements of our strategy:
–  Build upon our areas of strength within our key mission areas;
–  Focus additional resources on emerging opportunities within the Department of Defense market;
–  Engage key countries as individual markets with multiple customers; and
–  Extend Raytheon's advanced cyber solutions beyond the U.S. Government into international and commercial markets.

Our Capabilities
We believe that our broad mix of technologies, domain expertise and key capabilities, our cost-effective, best-value solutions 
and the alignment of these strengths with customer needs position us favorably to grow and increase share in our core markets. 
Our core markets also serve as a solid base from which to expand into growth areas, such as cybersecurity, key mission areas 
and new customer relationships. We continually explore opportunities to leverage our existing capabilities, or develop or 
acquire additional ones, to expand into growth markets. 

31

 
 
 
Sensing—Sensing encompasses technologies that acquire precise situational data across air, space, ground and underwater 
domains and then generate the information needed for effective battlespace decisions. Our Sensing technologies span the full 
electromagnetic spectrum, from traditional radio frequency (RF) and electro-optical (EO) to wideband, hyperspectral and 
acoustic sensors. We leverage our sensing technologies to provide a broad range of capabilities and to expand into growth 
markets, including multi-function sensors that can perform multiple missions for our customers.  

Effects—Effects achieve specific military actions or outcomes, from small-unit force protection to theater/national missile 
defense. The missions may be achieved by kinetic means, electronic warfare, directed energy or information operations. Our 
Effects capabilities include advanced airframes and missiles, electronic warfare, multiple sensor seekers, targeting, net-enabled 
systems, multi-dimensional effects, and directed energy, particularly high-energy lasers.

Command, Control, Communication and Intelligence (C3I)—C3I systems provide integrated real-time support to decision-
makers on and off the battlefield, transforming raw data into actionable intelligence. Our C3I capabilities include situational 
awareness, guidance and navigation systems, persistent surveillance, communications, mission planning, battle management 
command and control, intelligence and analysis, and integrated ground solutions. They also include similar capabilities such 
as command, control, communication, computers and intelligence (C4I). We expect to continue to grow our market presence 
in C3I and expand our knowledge management and discovery capabilities. 

Mission Support—We are focused on enabling customer success through total life-cycle support that predicts customer needs, 
senses potential problems and proactively responds with the most appropriate solutions. Our Mission Support capabilities 
include technical services, system engineering, product support, logistics, training, operations and maintenance. Our training 
business continues to expand and we now train military, civil and commercial customers in over 80 countries and in 40 different 
languages. 

Cyber—We continue to both enhance our capabilities in the cyber market and leverage the capabilities of the fourteen cyber 
acquisitions made since 2007. We provide cyber capabilities to the Intelligence Community, the DoD, other defense and civil 
global customers, and commercial markets. In addition, we embed information assurance capabilities in our products and our 
IT infrastructure. In 2014, we acquired Blackbird Technologies, a leading provider of persistent surveillance, secure tactical 
communications and cybersecurity solutions to the Intelligence Community and special operations market. We believe cyber 
is a strong growth market, offering Raytheon the potential to leverage our extensive capabilities, to enhance existing customer 
relationships, to develop new customer relationships, and to grow and scale our cyber business.

Key Mission Areas—We emphasize our capabilities in key mission areas of enduring importance to our customers. These key 
mission areas include missile defense, ISR and electronic warfare. In a budget-constrained domestic environment, customers 
are increasingly seeking cost-effective mission solutions. These solutions can take the form of new electronics or electronic 
upgrades, but draw on our market focus area capabilities, deep domain expertise and system architecture skills. We continue 
to explore opportunities to make these affordable solutions more readily available to our international customers, including 
through enhanced design for export and releasability.

International Growth
Because of the breadth of our offerings, our systems integration capability, the value of our solutions and our strong legacy 
in the international marketplace, we believe that we are well positioned to continue to grow our international business. As 
discussed under “International Considerations,” we believe demand continues to grow for solutions in air and missile defense, 
precision engagement, naval systems integration, ISR, and cybersecurity. As a result we continue to enhance our focus on 
global growth through increased investment in our offered solutions in existing and new international markets. Such investment 
includes the allocation of additional time and resources for in-country development in connection with existing, and in pursuit 
of new, opportunities. In addition, as coalition forces increasingly integrate military operations worldwide, we believe that 
our capabilities in network-enabled operations will continue to be a key discriminator in these markets. Although we believe 
our international business is well positioned to continue to grow, we recognize that we face substantial competition from both 
U.S. companies and other competitors in international markets as well as the challenge of changing budget priorities, overall 
spending pressures and the timing of contract awards.

Focus on the Customer and Execution
Our customer focus continues to be a critical part of our strategy—underpinned by a focus on performance, relationships and 
solutions. Performance means being able to meet customer commitments which is ensured through strong processes, metrics 
and oversight. We maintain a “process architecture” that spans our four businesses and our broad programs and pursuits. It 
consists of enterprise-wide processes and systems such as our Integrated Product Development System (IPDS), which assures 
consistency of evaluation and execution at each step in a program's life-cycle; Product Data Management (PDM), which is 
our business system software for engineering; Achieving Process Excellence (APEX), which is our SAP business system 
software for accounting, finance and program management; Process Re-Invention Integrating Systems for Manufacturing 
(PRISM), which is our SAP software for manufacturing operations; Advanced Company Estimating System (ACES), which 
is our cost proposal system; and Raytheon Enterprise Supplier Assessment (RESA) tool for Supply Chain Management. These 
processes and systems are linked to an array of front-end and back-end metrics. With this structure, we are able to track results 
and be alerted to potential issues through numerous oversight mechanisms, including operating reviews and annual operating 
plan reviews. 

We are also continuing to build strong customer relationships by working with them as partners and including them on Raytheon 
Six  SigmaTM  teams  to  jointly  improve  their  programs  and  processes. We  are  increasingly  focused  on  responding  to  our 
customers' changing requirements with rapid and effective solutions to real-world problems. In recognition of our customers' 
constraints and priorities, we also continue to drive various cost reductions across the Company by continuing to focus on 
enterprise collaboration and improving productivity and strong execution throughout our programs. We have worked to reduce 
costs across the Company, improve efficiencies in our production facilities, and continue to increase value through Raytheon 
Six SigmaTM, the implementation of lean processes, reduced cycle times and strategic supply chain initiatives, in addition to 
other initiatives.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
We use the following key financial performance measures to manage our business on a consolidated basis and by business 
segment, and to monitor and assess our results of operations:
–  Bookings—a forward-looking metric that measures the value of firm orders awarded to us during the year;
–  Net Sales—a growth metric that measures our revenue for the current year;
–  Operating Income—a measure of our profit from continuing operations for the year, before non-operating expenses, net 

and taxes; and

–  Operating Margin—a measure of our operating income as a percentage of total net sales.

Includes FAS/CAS Adjustment, described below in Critical Accounting Estimates, of $286 million of income, and $249 million and $255 million of 
expense in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

We also focus on earnings per share (EPS), including Adjusted EPS, and measures to assess our cash generation and the 
efficiency and effectiveness of our use of capital, such as free cash flow (FCF) and return on invested capital (ROIC).

Considered  together,  we  believe  these  metrics  are  strong  indicators  of  our  overall  performance  and  our  ability  to  create 
shareholder value. We feel these measures are balanced among long-term and short-term performance, efficiency and growth. 
We also use these and other performance metrics for executive compensation purposes.

33

 
 
 
In addition, we maintain a strong focus on program execution and the prudent management of capital and investments in order 
to maximize operating income and cash. We pursue a capital deployment strategy that balances funding for growing our 
business, including working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and research and development; prudently managing 
our balance sheet, including debt repayments and pension contributions; and returning cash to our shareholders, including 
dividend payments and share repurchases.

Backlog represents the dollar value of firm orders for which work has not been performed. Backlog generally increases with 
bookings and generally converts into sales as we incur costs under the related contractual commitments. Therefore, we discuss 
changes in backlog, including any significant cancellations, for each of our segments, as we believe such discussion provides 
an understanding of the awarded but not executed portions of our contracts. 

A discussion of our results of operations and financial condition follows below in Consolidated Results of Operations; Segment 
Results; Financial Condition and Liquidity; and Capital Resources.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our consolidated financial statements are based on the application of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), 
which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated 
financial statements and the accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty; therefore, 
the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any 
such differences may be material to our consolidated financial statements. We believe the estimates set forth below may 
involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity in their application than our other accounting estimates and represent 
the critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We believe our judgments 
related to these accounting estimates are appropriate. However, if different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the 
results could be materially different from the amounts recorded.

Revenue Recognition
We determine the appropriate method by which we recognize revenue by analyzing the type, terms and conditions of each 
contract or arrangement entered into with our customers. The significant estimates we make in recognizing revenue for the 
types of revenue-generating activities in which we are involved are described below. We classify contract revenues as product 
or service according to the predominant attributes of the relevant underlying contracts unless the contract can clearly be split 
between product and service. We define service revenue as revenue from activities that are not associated with the design, 
development or production of tangible assets, the delivery of software code or a specific capability. Our service revenue is 
primarily related to our IIS business segment.

Percentage-of-Completion Accounting—We use the percentage-of-completion accounting method to account for our long-
term contracts associated with the design, development, manufacture, or modification of complex aerospace or electronic 
equipment and related services, such as certain cost-plus service contracts. Under this method, revenue is recognized based 
on the extent of progress towards completion of the long-term contract. Our analysis of these contracts also contemplates 
whether contracts should be combined or segmented in accordance with the applicable criteria under GAAP. We combine 
closely related contracts when all the applicable criteria under GAAP are met. The combination of two or more contracts 
requires judgment in determining whether the intent of entering into the contracts was effectively to enter into a single project, 
which should be combined to reflect an overall profit rate. Similarly, we may segment a project, which may consist of a single 
contract or group of contracts, with varying rates of profitability, only if the applicable criteria under GAAP are met. Judgment 
also is involved in determining whether a single contract or group of contracts may be segmented based on how the arrangement 
was negotiated and the performance criteria. The decision to combine a group of contracts or segment a contract could change 
the amount of revenue and gross profit recorded in a given period. 

The selection of the method by which to measure progress towards completion of a contract also requires judgment and is 
based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. We generally use the cost-to-cost measure of progress for our 
long-term contracts unless we believe another method more clearly measures progress towards completion of the contract. 
Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs 
incurred  to  date  to  the  total  estimated  costs  at  completion  of  the  contract.  Contract  costs  include  labor,  materials  and 
subcontractors costs, as well as an allocation of indirect costs. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded as 
costs are incurred. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of our contracts, the estimation of total 
revenue and cost at completion (the process for which we describe below in more detail) is complex and subject to many 
variables. Incentive and award fees generally are awarded at the discretion of the customer or upon achievement of certain 

34

 
 
 
 
program milestones or cost targets. Incentive and award fees, as well as penalties related to contract performance, are considered 
in estimating profit rates. Estimates of award fees are based on actual awards and anticipated performance, which may include 
the performance of subcontractors or partners depending on the individual contract requirements. Incentive provisions that 
increase or decrease earnings based solely on a single significant event generally are not recognized until the event occurs. 
Such incentives and penalties are recorded when there is sufficient information for us to assess anticipated performance. Our 
claims on contracts are recorded only if it is probable that the claim will result in additional contract revenue and the amounts 
can be reliably estimated. 

We have a Company-wide standard and disciplined quarterly Estimate at Completion (EAC) process in which management 
reviews the progress and performance of our contracts. As part of this process, management reviews information including, 
but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, 
identified risks and opportunities, and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. The risks and opportunities 
include management's judgment about the ability and cost to achieve the schedule (e.g., the number and type of milestone 
events), technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product), and other contract requirements. 
Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work 
to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the contract (e.g., to estimate increases in wages 
and prices for materials and related support cost allocations), performance by our subcontractors, the availability and timing 
of funding from our customer, and overhead cost rates, among other variables. These estimates also include the estimated cost 
of satisfying our industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset obligations, required under certain contracts. 
Based on this analysis, any quarterly adjustments to net sales, cost of sales, and the related impact to operating income are 
recognized as necessary in the period they become known. These adjustments may result from positive program performance, 
and may result in an increase in operating income during the performance of individual contracts, if we determine we will be 
successful in mitigating risks surrounding the technical, schedule, and cost aspects of those contracts or realizing related 
opportunities.  Likewise,  these  adjustments  may  result  in  a  decrease  in  operating  income  if  we  determine  we  will  not  be 
successful in mitigating these risks or realizing related opportunities. Changes in estimates of net sales, cost of sales, and the 
related impact to operating income are recognized quarterly on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes in the current 
period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a contract's percentage of completion. A 
significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of one or more of our contracts. When 
estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire 
loss on the contract is recognized in the period the loss is determined.

Other Revenue Methods—To a much lesser extent, we enter into other types of contracts such as service, commercial, or 
software and licensing arrangements. Revenue under fixed-price service contracts not associated with the design, development, 
manufacture, or modification of complex aerospace or electronic equipment, and under commercial contracts, generally is 
recognized upon delivery or as services are rendered once persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, our price is fixed or 
determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Costs on fixed-price service contracts are expensed as incurred, unless 
they otherwise qualify for deferral. There were no costs deferred on fixed price service contracts at December 31, 2014 and 
December 31, 2013. We recognize revenue on contracts to sell software when evidence of an arrangement exists, the software 
has been delivered and accepted by the customer, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable. For software 
arrangements that include multiple elements, including perpetual software licenses and undelivered items (e.g., maintenance 
and/or services; subscriptions/term licenses), we allocate and defer revenue for the undelivered items based on vendor specific 
objective evidence (VSOE) of the fair value of the undelivered elements, and recognize revenue on the perpetual license using 
the residual method. We base VSOE of each element on the price for which the undelivered element is sold separately. We 
determine fair value of the undelivered elements based on historical evidence of our stand-alone sales of these elements to 
third parties or from the stated renewal rate for the undelivered elements. When VSOE does not exist for undelivered items, 
we recognize the entire arrangement fee ratably over the applicable performance period. Revenue from non-software license 
fees is recognized over the expected life of the continued involvement with the customer. Additionally, royalty revenue is 
recognized when earned. 

35

We apply the separation guidance under GAAP for contracts with multiple deliverables. We analyze revenue arrangements 
with  multiple deliverables to  determine if the  deliverables should  be  divided into  more  than one  unit  of  accounting. For 
contracts with more than one unit of accounting, we allocate the consideration we receive among the separate units of accounting 
based on their relative selling prices, which we determine based on prices of the deliverables as sold on a stand-alone basis, 
or if not sold on a stand-alone basis, the prices we would charge if sold on a stand-alone basis. We recognize revenue for each 
deliverable based on the revenue recognition policies described above.

Other Considerations—The majority of our sales are driven by pricing based on costs incurred to produce products or perform 
services under contracts with the U.S. Government. Cost-based pricing is determined under the Federal Acquisition Regulation 
(FAR). The FAR provides guidance on the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services under 
U.S. Government contracts. For example, costs such as those related to charitable contributions, certain merger and acquisition 
costs, lobbying costs, interest expense and certain litigation defense costs are unallowable. In addition, we may enter into 
agreements with the U.S. Government that address the allowability and allocation of costs to contracts for specific matters. 
Certain costs incurred in the performance of our U.S. Government contracts are required to be recorded under GAAP but are 
not currently allocable to contracts. Such costs are deferred and primarily include a portion of our environmental expenses, 
asset retirement obligations, certain restructuring costs, deferred state income taxes, workers’ compensation and certain other 
accruals. These costs are allocated to contracts when they are paid or otherwise agreed. We regularly assess the probability 
of recovery of these costs. This assessment requires us to make assumptions about the extent of cost recovery under our 
contracts and the amount of future contract activity. If the level of backlog in the future does not support the continued deferral 
of these costs, the profitability of our remaining contracts could be adversely affected.

Pension and other postretirement benefits costs are allocated to our contracts as allowed costs based upon the U.S. Government 
Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). The CAS requirements for pension and other postretirement benefits costs differ from the 
Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) requirements under GAAP. Given the inability to match with reasonable certainty 
individual expense and income items between the CAS and FAS requirements to determine specific recoverability, we have 
not estimated the incremental FAS income or expense to be recoverable under our expected future contract activity, and 
therefore did not defer any FAS expense for pension and other postretirement benefit plans in 2012–2014. This resulted in 
$286 million of income, and $249 million and $255 million of expense in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, reflected in our 
consolidated results of operations as the difference between CAS and FAS requirements for our pension and other postretirement 
benefits plans in those years.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Costs
We have pension plans covering the majority of our employees, including certain employees in foreign countries. We must 
calculate our pension and other postretirement benefits (PRB) costs under both CAS and FAS requirements under GAAP, and 
both calculations require judgment. GAAP outlines the methodology used to determine pension expense or income for financial 
reporting purposes, which is not indicative of the funding requirements for pension and PRB plans that we determine under 
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). CAS prescribes the allocation to and recovery of pension 
and PRB costs on U.S. Government contracts. The CAS requirements for pension costs and its calculation methodology differ 
from the FAS requirements and calculation methodology. As a result, while both CAS and FAS use long-term assumptions 
in their calculation methodologies, each method results in different calculated amounts of pension and PRB cost. In addition, 
we are subject to the funding requirements under the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA), which amended ERISA. Under 
the PPA, we are required to fully fund our pension plans over a rolling seven-year period as determined annually based upon 
the PPA calculated funded status at the beginning of each year. The funding requirements are primarily based on the year’s 
expected service cost and amortization of other previously unfunded liabilities. 

On December 27, 2011, the CAS Pension Harmonization Rule (CAS Harmonization) was published in the Federal Register. 
The rule impacts pension costs on contracts beginning in 2013 and was effective for forward pricing purposes since February 
27, 2012. The rule intends to improve the alignment of the pension cost recovered through contract pricing under CAS and 
the pension funding requirements under the PPA. The rule shortened the CAS amortization period for gains and losses from 
15 to 10 years and requires the use of a discount rate based on high quality corporate bonds, consistent with PPA, to measure 
liabilities in determining the CAS pension expense. While the change in amortization period was applicable in 2013, there is 
a transition period for the impact of the change in liability measurement method of 0% in 2013, 25% in 2014, 50% in 2015, 
75%  in  2016  and  100%  in  2017.  CAS  Harmonization  increases  pension  costs  under  CAS  and  increases  the  FAS/CAS 
Adjustment to income in 2014 and beyond primarily due to the liability measurement transition period included in the rule. 
Because the pension cost increases occur primarily in 2014 and beyond, the impact to our contracts in existence prior to 
February 27, 2012 was not material. Furthermore, because CAS Harmonization is a mandatory change in cost accounting for 

36

 
 
 
government contractors, we may be entitled to an equitable adjustment for some portion of the increase in costs on contracts 
which we are currently negotiating with the government.

In July 2012, the Surface Transportation Extension Act, which is also referred to as the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st 
Century Act (STE Act), was passed by Congress and signed by the President. The STE Act includes a provision for temporary 
pension funding relief due to the low interest rate environment. The provision adjusts the 24-month average high quality 
corporate bond rates used to determine the PPA funded status so that they are within a floor and cap, or “corridor,” based on 
the 25-year average of corporate bond rates. The STE Act gradually phases out this interest rate provision beginning in 2013. 
In August 2014, the pension provisions of the STE Act were extended as part of the Highway and Transportation Funding Act 
of 2014 (HATFA). As a result, the interest rates used to determine PPA funded status will continue to be adjusted within a 
“corridor” and do not begin to phase out until 2018. The HATFA impacts CAS expense as well because CAS Harmonization 
incorporates the PPA interest rate into CAS calculations. 

We record CAS expense in our business segment results. Due to the differences between FAS and CAS amounts, we also 
present the difference between FAS and CAS expense, referred to as our FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment, which is a component 
of  our  total  FAS/CAS Adjustment,  disclosed  as  a  separate  line  item  in  our  segment  results. This  effectively  increases  or 
decreases the amount of total pension expense in our results of operations so that such amount is equal to the FAS expense 
amount under GAAP. Due to the foregoing differences in requirements and calculation methodologies, our FAS pension 
expense or income is not indicative of the funding requirements or amount of government recovery.

The assumptions in the calculations of our pension FAS expense and CAS expense, which involve significant judgment, are 
described below.

FAS Expense—Our long-term return on plan assets (ROA) and discount rate assumptions are the key variables in determining 
pension expense or income and the funded status of our pension plans under GAAP.

The long-term ROA represents the average rate of earnings expected over the long term on the assets invested to provide for 
anticipated future benefit payment obligations. The long-term ROA used to calculate net periodic pension cost is set annually 
at the beginning of each year. Given the long-term nature of the ROA assumption, which we believe should not be solely 
reactive to short-term market conditions that may not persist, we expect the long-term ROA to remain unchanged unless there 
are significant changes in our investment strategy, the underlying economic assumptions, or other major factors. To establish 
our long-term ROA assumption, we employ a “building block” approach. As part of our annual process for determining whether 
it is appropriate to change our long-term ROA assumption, we first review the existing long-term ROA assumption against a 
statistically determined reasonable range of outcomes. For purposes of determining the long-term ROA assumption for 2014 
and prior, we considered this range to be between the 25th and 75th percentile likelihood of achieving a long-term return over 
future years (consistent with Actuarial Standard of Practice No. 27 in effect at the time). Therefore, it is less than 25 percent 
likely that the long-term return of the pension plan would fall below or above the 25th and 75th percentiles points, respectively 
(i.e., it is 50 percent likely that the long-term return of the pension plan will be within the 25th and 75th percentile range). 
The building block approach and the reasonable range of outcomes are based upon our asset allocation assumptions and long-
term capital market assumptions. Such assumptions incorporate the economic outlook for various asset classes over short- 
and long-term periods and also take into consideration other factors, including historical market performance, inflation and 
interest rates. The reasonable range of long-term returns that was used to validate the long-term ROA assumption for the 
calculation of the net periodic benefit cost for 2014, 2013 and 2012, are shown below.

Our long-term domestic ROA of 8.75% fell between the 60th–65th percentile, 65th–70th percentile and 60th–65th percentile 
of the reasonable range for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The 50th percentile of the reasonable range used to develop 
each of the 2014, 2013 and 2012 long-term ROA was 7.59%, 7.51% and 7.99%, respectively.  

Once our long-term ROA has been determined, we review historical averages and patterns of returns to confirm reasonability 
of our long-term ROA assumption compared to past results. While history is not solely indicative of future market expectations, 
it does provide insight into general historical trends and long-term asset performance. In validating the 2014 long-term ROA 

37

 
 
assumption, we reviewed our pension plan asset performance since 1986. Our average annual actual rate of return since 1986 
of  9.19%,  determined  on  an  arithmetic  basis,  exceeds  our  estimated  8.75%  assumed  return. Arithmetic  annual  averages 
represent the simple average returns over independent annual periods, whereas geometric returns reflect the compound average 
returns of dependent annual periods. The average annual actual return on a geometric basis for the same period was 8.50%. 
In addition, the actual annual returns have exceeded our long-term ROA assumption of 8.75% in six of the past ten years. 
Because our 2014 long-term ROA assumption of 8.75% for our domestic pension plans was within the reasonable range and 
our historical trends and averages did not indicate a trend or pattern of returns significantly above or below our existing 
assumption, we determined our long-term ROA assumption for our domestic pension plans in 2014 would remain at 8.75%, 
consistent with our 2013 assumption.

In September 2013, the Actuarial Standards Board issued a revision to the Actuarial Standard of Practice No. 27, Selection 
of Economic Assumptions for Measuring Pension Obligations (ASOP 27), that replaced the explicit reference to the best 
estimate range concept with the selection of a reasonable assumption that considers multiple criteria including the purposes 
of measurement, the actuary’s professional judgment, historical and current economic data and estimates of future experience 
and has no significant bias. The revised standard is effective for assumptions established on or after September 30, 2014. As 
a result of the revised standard, we continue to evaluate our long-term ROA assumption against a reasonable range of possible 
outcomes but have modified that range to be between the 35th to 65th percentile likelihood of achieving a long-term return 
over future years. We believe that continuing to validate our ROA assumption within a reasonable range that is narrowed to 
the 35th to 65th percentiles ensures an unbiased result while also ensuring that the ROA assumption is not solely reactive to 
short-term market conditions that may not persist, and is consistent with external actuarial practices. 

In the fourth quarter of 2014, we reduced our long-term target allocation for equities and increased our target allocation for 
fixed income within the investment policy allocations established by our Investment Committee in order to reduce the overall 
exposure to equity volatility. This change in asset allocation reduced the range of reasonable outcomes that we use to evaluate 
our long-term ROA assumption and we determined that the historical assumption of 8.75% no longer fell within this range. 
To develop our 2015 long-term ROA assumption, we employed a building block approach. Under this building block method, 
the overall expected investment return equals the weighted average of the individual expected return for each asset class based 
on the target asset allocation and the long-term capital market assumptions. The expected return for each asset class is composed 
of inflation plus a risk-free rate of return, plus an expected risk premium for that asset class. The resulting return is then 
adjusted  for  administrative,  investment  management  and  trading  expenses  as  well  as  recognition  of  alpha  for  active 
management.  The  building  block  approach  resulted  in  a  long-term  ROA  assumption  of  8.0%  for  2015.  To  validate  this 
assumption we compared the result against the reasonable range of outcomes and confirmed that the 8.0% result falls between 
the 55th and 60th percentile of the reasonable range for 2015 with the 50th percentile at 7.37%. We also assessed this result 
against an approximation of what our historical asset performance may have been since 1986 using the updated target allocation 
and have concluded that the average return would likely have been equal to or greater than 8.0% for that time period. Based 
upon our application of the building block approach and our review of the resulting assumption against the 35th to 65th 
reasonable range, and an analysis of our historical results, we have established a 2015 long-term ROA assumption of 8.0% 
and have determined that the new assumption is reasonable and consistent with the provisions of ASOP 27. If we significantly 
change our long-term investment allocation or strategy, or if there is a significant change in the economic assumptions, then 
our long-term ROA assumption could change in the future. 

Our domestic pension plans’ actual rates of return were approximately 6%, 15% and 12% for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 
The difference between the actual rate of return and our long-term ROA assumption is included in deferred losses.

The investment policy asset allocation ranges for our domestic pension plans, as set by our Investment Committee, for the 
year ended December 31, 2014 were as follows: 

Asset Category
Global equity (combined U.S. and international equity)

U.S. equities

International equities

Fixed-income securities

Cash and cash equivalents

Private equity and private real estate

Other (including absolute return funds)

40%–60%

25%–40%

15%–25%

25%–40%

1%–10%

3%–20%

5%–20%

Our long-term ROA assumptions for foreign Pension Benefits plans are based on the asset allocations and the economic 
environment prevailing in the locations where the Pension Benefits plans reside. Foreign pension assets do not make up a 
significant portion of the total assets for all of our Pension Benefits plans.

The discount rate represents the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of future cash flows currently 
expected to be required to settle our pension and other postretirement benefit obligations. The discount rate assumption is 
determined by using a theoretical bond portfolio model consisting of bonds rated AA or better by Moody’s for which the 
timing and amount of cash flows approximate the estimated benefit payments for each of our pension plans. The discount rate 
assumption for our domestic pension plans at December 31, 2014 is 4.08%, which represents a weighted-average discount 
rate across our plans, compared to the December 31, 2013 discount rate of 5.08% as a result of the bond environment at 
December 31, 2014.

CAS Expense—In addition to providing the methodology for calculating pension costs, CAS also prescribes the method for 
assigning those costs to specific periods. While the ultimate liability for pension costs under FAS and CAS is similar, the 
pattern of cost recognition is different. The key drivers of CAS pension expense include the funded status and the method 
used to calculate CAS reimbursement for each of our plans. Under the prior CAS rules, the discount rate used to measure 
liabilities was required to be consistent with the long-term ROA assumption, which changes infrequently given its long-term 
nature. In addition to certain other changes, CAS Harmonization requires contractors to compare the liability under the prior 
CAS methodology and assumptions to a liability using a discount rate based on high-quality corporate bonds, and use the 
greater of the two liability calculations in developing CAS expense. In addition, unlike FAS, we can only allocate pension 
costs for a plan under CAS until such plan is fully funded as determined under CAS requirements. When the estimated future 
CAS pension costs increase, the estimated CAS cost allocated to our contracts in the future increases.

Other FAS and CAS Considerations—An increase or decrease of 25 basis points in the discount rate assumption would have 
had the following approximate impacts on 2014 FAS pension results:

Changes in the high-quality corporate bond rate assumption could impact the CAS discount rate for purposes of determining 
CAS pension expense due to CAS Harmonization. However in 2014, the CAS pension expense was not impacted by this 
assumption due to the passage of HATFA which extended the provisions of pension funding relief as described above. The 
discount rate assumption will impact CAS pension expense in future periods as the provisions of HATFA phase out.

A 25 basis point increase or decrease in our long-term ROA assumption would result in a decrease or increase to our FAS 
pension expense by approximately $45 million for 2014. In addition to the impact on our 2014 FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment, 
a portion of the $31 million change in CAS pension expense would also be allocated to fixed price contracts in backlog and 
would either increase or decrease the profit rate on those contracts at the time of such a change (i.e., a change in the long-
term ROA assumption on January 1, 2014 would drive a change in estimated costs in EACs and related contract profit rates 
as of December 31, 2013). The contract impact resulting from the change in CAS pension expense is difficult to estimate 
because remaining performance periods can vary, the amount and timing of expected new awards (i.e., the proposals expected 
to be awarded in the year which will bear their allocated portion of the change in CAS pension expense), and our mix of fixed 
price and cost reimbursable contracts can change. Based on our contract profile at December 31, 2014, if we had 60 percent 
of our backlog in fixed price contracts, and they were on average 50 percent complete, with our actual new award profile for 
2014, a 25 basis point change in our long-term ROA assumption at January 1, 2014 would drive approximately $7 million of 
aggregate total EAC adjustments at December 31, 2013. In addition, our fixed price contracts in backlog as of December 31, 
2013 would have a lower profit rate in 2014, resulting in approximately $4 million impact as costs are incurred in that year 
on those contracts. The total impact on 2013 would be approximately $7 million driven by the aggregate EAC adjustments 
and the total impact on 2014 would be approximately $18 million (the FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment and the lower profit 
rate impact in 2014 on fixed price contracts in backlog at December 31, 2013). A change in our long-term ROA assumption 
would be subject to review by our government customer for reasonableness. Given our history of recovering changes to CAS 
pension expense, we expect the assumption change would be allocable and allowable, per regulatory guidelines, as long as 
the assumption is reasonable. The transition to CAS Harmonization may gradually reduce the impact that a change to the 
long-term ROA assumption will have on CAS pension expense in future years as CAS Harmonization is phased in (as discussed 
in more detail under the CAS Expense section above).

The impact of changing our long-term ROA for our domestic pension plans from 8.75% to 8.0% in 2015 is expected to increase 
our FAS expense by $140 million, increase our CAS expense by $40 million and decrease our FAS/CAS pension adjustment 
to income by $100 million in 2015. This CAS impact to 2015 varies from the theoretical impact to 2014 described above 
because the CAS impact in any one year depends on the actual change in the long-term ROA and is not linear. The CAS impact 
is primarily driven by whether the pre-CAS Harmonization methodology applies, which uses a discount rate based on the 
long-term ROA assumption, or the post-CAS Harmonization methodology applies, which uses a discount rate based on high-
quality corporate bonds, and the corresponding relationship between the long-term ROA and the high-quality corporate bond 
rate. In addition, the timing of the change relative to the transition period for CAS Harmonization affects the CAS impact. 
The $40 million increase in our CAS expense in 2015 was included in our EACs and did not have a significant impact on our 
2014 results based on our overall ending overhead positions.

In accordance with both FAS and CAS, a calculated “market-related value” of our plan assets is used to develop the amount 
of deferred asset gains or losses to be amortized. The market-related value of assets is determined using actual asset gains or 
losses over a certain prior period (three years for FAS and five years for CAS, subject to certain limitations under CAS on the 
difference between the market-related value and actual market value of assets). Because of this difference in the number of 
years over which actual asset gains or losses are recognized and subsequently amortized, FAS expense generally tends to 
reflect recent asset gains or losses faster than CAS. Another driver of CAS expense (but not FAS expense) is the funded status 
of  our  pension  plans  under  CAS. As  noted  above,  CAS  expense  is  only  recognized  for  plans  that  are  not  fully  funded; 
consequently, if plans become or cease to be fully funded under CAS due to our asset or liability experience, our CAS expense 
will change accordingly.

Under FAS, a “corridor” approach may be elected and applied in the recognition of asset and liability gains or losses which 
limits expense recognition to the net outstanding gains and losses in excess of the greater of 10 percent of the projected benefit 
obligation or the calculated "market-related value" of assets. We do not use a “corridor” approach in the calculation of FAS 
expense.   

40

For 2015 compared to 2014, we currently expect our FAS expense to increase more than our CAS expense resulting in a lower 
FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment to income. We expect the FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment to be approximately $200 million of 
income driven by the differences in the assumptions and the recognition period for gains and losses under FAS and CAS and 
CAS Harmonization and the impact of the change in our long-term ROA assumption, as described above. This expected 
increase in FAS and CAS expense is subject to our annual update, generally planned in the third quarter, of our actuarial 
estimate of the unfunded benefit obligation for both FAS and CAS for final census data. After 2015, the FAS/CAS Pension 
Adjustment is more difficult to predict because future FAS and CAS expense is based on a number of key assumptions for 
future periods. Differences between those assumptions and future actual results could significantly change both FAS and CAS 
expense in future periods. However, based solely on our current assumptions at December 31, 2014 and taking into account 
CAS Harmonization, which increases CAS expense in 2014 and beyond, we would expect our FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment 
to increase income in 2016.

Our pension and other postretirement benefits plans’ investments are stated at fair value. Investments in equity securities 
(common and preferred) are valued at the last reported sales price when an active market exists. Investments in fixed-income 
securities  are  generally  valued  using  methods  based  upon  market  transactions  for  comparable  securities  and  various 
relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Investments in private equity and 
private real estate funds are estimated at fair market value, which primarily utilizes net asset values reported by the investment 
manager or fund administrator. We review independently appraised values, audited financial statements and additional pricing 
information to evaluate the net asset values. For the limited group of securities and other assets for which market quotations 
are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value, additional information 
is obtained from the investment manager and evaluated internally to determine whether any adjustments are required to reflect 
fair value. 

The change in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) related to pension and other postretirement benefit plans was

The balance in AOCL related to our pension and other postretirement benefits plans is composed primarily of differences 
between changes in discount rates, differences between actual and expected asset returns, differences between actual and 
assumed demographic experience, and changes in plan provisions. Changes to our pension and other postretirement benefits 
obligation as a result of these variables are initially reflected in other comprehensive income. The deferred gains and losses 
are amortized and included in future pension expense over the average employee service period of approximately 10 years at 
December 31, 2014. The $4.4 billion in 2014 losses arising during the period were driven primarily by the decrease in the 
discount rate from 5.08% at December 31, 2013 to 4.08% at December 31, 2014, which had an impact of approximately $3.0 
billion, and actual returns, which were lower than our expected return and had an impact of approximately $0.3 billion, as 
well as other actuarial factors including mortality. The mortality assumption is the basis for determining the longevity of our 
pension participants and the expected period over which they will receive pension benefits. A recent study released by the 
Society of Actuaries indicated that life expectancies have increased over the past several years and are longer than what was 
assumed by most existing mortality tables. Our pension obligation as of December 31, 2014 reflects a change in the underlying 
mortality assumption, which reflects improvements in life expectancy consistent with the Society of Actuaries study. Our 
pension obligation also reflects an increase in the expected rate of future longevity improvement taking into consideration 
data from multiple sources including the Society of Actuaries study and Social Security Administration data. These changes 
resulted in an increase in our projected benefit obligation of $0.6 billion as of December 31, 2014. The $3.0 billion in 2013 
gains arising during the period were driven primarily by the increase in the discount rate from 4.15% at December 31, 2012 
to 5.08% at December 31, 2013, which had an impact of approximately $2.4 billion and actual returns, which were higher 
than our expected return, which had an impact of approximately $1.1 billion partially offset by other actuarial factors. The 
$2.2 billion in 2012 losses arising during the period were driven primarily by the decrease in the discount rate from 5.00% at 
December 31, 2011 to 4.15% at December 31, 2012, which had an impact of approximately $2.0 billion.

Impairment of Goodwill
We evaluate our goodwill for impairment annually as of the first day of our fiscal fourth quarter and in any interim period in 
which circumstances arise that indicate our goodwill may be impaired. Indicators of impairment include, but are not limited 
to, the loss of significant business, significant decreases in federal government appropriations or funding for our contracts, or 
other significant adverse changes in industry or market conditions. We performed an interim goodwill impairment test and 
there was no indication of impairment. No events occurred during the periods presented that indicated the existence of an 
impairment with respect to our goodwill. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow (DCF) 
model based on our most recent long-range plan in place at the time of our impairment testing, and compare the estimated 
fair value of each reporting unit to its net book value, including goodwill. We discount the cash flow forecasts using the 
weighted-average cost of capital method at the date of evaluation. The weighted-average cost of capital is comprised of the 
estimated required rate of return on equity, based on publicly available data for peer companies, plus an equity risk premium 
related to specific company risk factors, and the after-tax rate of return on debt, weighted at the relative values of the estimated 
debt and equity for the industry. Preparation of forecasts for use in the long-range plan and the selection of the discount rate 
involve significant judgments that we base primarily on existing firm orders, expected future orders, contracts with suppliers, 
labor agreements and general market conditions. Significant changes in these forecasts or the discount rate selected could 
affect the estimated fair value of one or more of our reporting units and could result in a goodwill impairment charge in a 
future period. When available and as appropriate, we also use comparative market multiples to corroborate our DCF model 
results. There was no indication of goodwill impairment as a result of our 2014 annual impairment analysis, as the fair values 
of each of our reporting units exceeded their respective net book values, including goodwill. Based on our 2014 impairment 
analysis, the reporting unit that was closest to impairment had a fair value in excess of net book value, including goodwill, of 
approximately 55%. All other factors being equal, a 10% decrease in expected future cash flows for that reporting unit would 
result in an excess of fair value over net book value of approximately 40%. Alternatively, all other factors being equal, a 100 
basis point increase in the discount rate used in the calculation of the fair value of that reporting unit would result in an excess 
of fair value over net book value of approximately 35%. If we are required to record an impairment charge in the future, it 
could materially affect our results of operations.

Total Net Sales - 2014 vs. 2013—The decrease in total net sales of $880 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily due 
to lower external net sales of $404 million at IDS and $267 million at MS. The decrease in external net sales at IDS was 
primarily due to lower net sales from the scheduled completion of certain production phases on various Patriot programs for 
international customers, lower net sales on a close combat tactical radar program due to planned decreases in production and 
lower net sales on a missile defense radar program for an international customer also due to planned decreases in production. 
The decrease in external net sales at IDS was partially offset by higher net sales from an international air defense system 
program awarded in the fourth quarter of 2013, higher net sales from an international Patriot program awarded in the first 
quarter of 2014 and higher net sales from an international Patriot program awarded in the fourth quarter of 2014 driven 
primarily by previously deferred precontract costs. The remaining decrease at IDS was spread across numerous programs 
with no individual or common significant driver. The decrease in external net sales at MS was primarily due to lower net sales

Products and Services Net Sales - 2014 vs. 2013—The decrease in products net sales of $729 million in 2014 compared to 
2013 was primarily due to lower external products net sales of $403 million at IDS and $263 million at MS, both driven 
principally by the programs described above. The decrease in services net sales of $151 million in 2014 compared to 2013 
was primarily due to lower external services net sales at IIS of $111 million, driven principally by lower net sales on training 
programs supporting the U.S. Army's Warfighter FOCUS activities resulting from a decrease in customer-determined activity 
levels.

Total Net Sales - 2013 vs. 2012—The decrease in total net sales of $708 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due 
to lower external net sales of $324 million at SAS and $323 million at IIS. The decrease in external net sales at SAS was 
primarily due to lower net sales on certain classified programs and on certain intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance 
programs due to reduced program requirements. The decrease in external net sales at IIS was primarily due to lower net sales 
on classified programs, lower net sales on training programs supporting the U.S. Army’s Warfighter FOCUS activities due to 
a decrease in customer determined activity levels, and lower net sales on the National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar program, 
which was completed in the first quarter of 2012.

Products and Services Net Sales - 2013 vs. 2012—The decrease in products net sales of $525 million in 2013 compared to 
2012 was primarily due to lower external products net sales of $306 million at SAS, principally driven by the programs and 
for the reasons described above. The decrease in services net sales of $183 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily 
due to lower external services net sales of $207 million at IIS, principally driven by the training programs supporting the U.S. 
Army's Warfighter FOCUS activities and the NSF Polar program described above.

Total Cost of Sales
Cost of sales, for both products and services, consists of labor, materials and subcontractors costs, as well as related allocated 
costs. For each of our contracts, we manage the nature and amount of direct costs at the contract level, and manage indirect 
costs through cost pools as required by government accounting regulations. The estimate of the actual amount of direct and 
indirect costs forms the basis for estimating our total costs at completion of the contract.

Total Cost of Sales - 2014 vs. 2013—The decrease in total cost of sales of $1,237 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was 
primarily due to a $535 million change in the FAS/CAS Adjustment and lower external cost of sales of $271 million at MS 
and $233 million at IDS. The change in the FAS/CAS Adjustment was primarily driven by a $345 million decrease in our 
FAS pension expense and by a $189 million increase in our CAS pension expense, which is included in the results of each 
segment and generally recovered through pricing of our products and services to the U.S. Government. The changes in both 
our FAS expense and CAS expense are described in our Segment Results beginning on page 49. The decreases in external 
cost of sales at MS and IDS were driven principally by the activity on the programs described above in Total Net Sales.

Products and Services Cost of Sales - 2014 vs. 2013— The decrease in products cost of sales of $1,032 million in 2014 
compared to 2013 was primarily due to $441 million of lower expense related to the FAS/CAS Adjustment described above 
and lower external products cost of sales of $272 million at MS and $229 million at IDS. The decreases in external products 
cost of sales at MS and IDS were principally driven by the programs described above in Total Net Sales. The decrease in 
services cost of sales of $205 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily due to $94 million of lower expense related 
to the FAS/CAS Adjustment described above and lower external services cost of sales of $81 million at IIS, principally driven 
by activity on training programs supporting the U.S. Army's Warfighter FOCUS activities due to a decrease in customer-
determined activity levels.

Total Cost of Sales - 2013 vs. 2012—The decrease in total cost of sales of $560 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily 
due to lower external cost of sales of $264 million at IIS and $232 million at SAS, both primarily due to the activity on the 
programs and for the reasons described above in Total Net Sales. 

Products and Services Cost of Sales - 2013 vs. 2012—The decrease in products cost of sales of $420 million in 2013 compared 
to 2012 was primarily due to lower external products cost of sales of $197 million at SAS and $141 million at IDS. The 
decrease in external products cost of sales at SAS was primarily due to the activity on the programs and for the reasons 
described above in Total Net Sales. The decrease in external products cost of sales at IDS was primarily due to the scheduled 
completion of certain production phases on an international Patriot program awarded in the first quarter of 2008, partially 
offset by higher external products cost of sales on other integrated air and missile defense programs for international and 
domestic customers, driven principally by scheduled program production requirements and timing of new awards, and higher 
external products cost of sales on a missile defense radar program for an international customer driven principally by scheduled 
program production requirements. The remaining change in external products costs of sales at IDS was spread across numerous 
programs with no individual or common significant driver. The decrease in services cost of sales of $140 million in 2013 
compared to 2012 was primarily due to lower external services cost of sales of $175 million at IIS, driven principally by 
activity on the programs and for the reasons described above in Total Net Sales.

The increase in administrative and selling expenses of $81 million in 2014 compared to 2013 includes the $25 million of stock 
compensation expense associated with RSUs issued in 2014 as described below in Segment Results beginning on page 49. 
There was no other individual or common significant driver of the increase in administrative and selling expenses.

The decrease in administrative and selling expenses of $111 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to a $36 
million decrease in net state taxes allocated to our contracts, $34 million driven by the timing of bid and proposal expenses 
on various contract pursuits, and a $17 million decrease in marketing and selling expenses.

Included in administrative and selling expenses is the provision for state income taxes, which generally can be recovered 
through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. Government. Net state income taxes allocated to our contracts were 
$41 million, $42 million and $78 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

independent research and development activity related to electronic warfare technology. Research and development expenses 
in 2013 were relatively consistent in amount and as a percentage of total net sales with 2012.

The increase in total non-operating (income) expense, net of $15 million in 2014 compared to 2013, was primarily due to a 
$10 million change in the fair value of marketable securities held in trust associated with certain of our non-qualified deferred 
compensation plans, due to net gains of $11 million in 2014 compared to a net gains of $21 million in 2013.

The decrease in total non-operating (income) expense, net of $29 million in 2013 compared to 2012, was primarily due to the 
$29 million pretax charge associated with the make-whole provision on the early repurchase of long-term debt in the fourth 
quarter of 2012.

The decrease in federal and foreign income taxes of $18 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily due to the tax benefit 
of the foreign dividend described below, offset by an increase in annual business income. The decrease in federal and foreign 

45

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
income taxes of $70 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to timing of the settlement related to the 2006–2008 
IRS audit examination cycle (2012 Tax Settlement).

In the first quarter of 2014, a foreign subsidiary authorized and completed a transaction which resulted in a taxable dividend 
of approximately $115 million. The transaction does not affect our indefinite reinvestment assertion because it generated a 
net tax benefit of approximately $80 million. No provision has been made for deferred taxes on undistributed earnings of non-
U.S. subsidiaries as these earnings have been indefinitely invested or are expected to be remitted substantially free of additional 
tax.

Our effective tax rate, which is used to determine federal and foreign income tax expense, differs from the U.S. statutory 
rate due to the following:

Our effective tax rate reflects the 35% U.S. statutory rate adjusted for various permanent differences between book and tax 
reporting. In December 2014, Congress enacted legislation that retroactively reinstated the R&D tax credit for the 2014 tax 
year. In the fourth quarter of 2014, we recorded a full year benefit of approximately $30 million related to the 2014 R&D tax 
credit. 

During 2014, the IRS completed its examination of the 2012 tax year, which completed all IRS examinations through the 
2012 tax year. During 2013, the IRS completed its examination of our 2009 and 2010 tax years and we received final approval 
from the U.S. Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) of a refund claim related to the 2011 tax year. During 2012, 
we received final approval from the IRS and the JCT on settlement for the 2012 Tax Settlement.

Our effective tax rate in 2014 was lower than the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the tax benefit on the foreign 
dividend which decreased the rate by approximately 2.8%, the domestic manufacturing deduction which decreased the rate 
by approximately 2.7%, the reinstatement of the R&D tax credit which decreased the rate by approximately 1.1% and tax 
settlements and refunds which decreased the rate by approximately 0.5%. The remaining decrease of 1.4% is composed of 
various unrelated items which individually or collectively are not significant. 

Our effective tax rate in 2013 was lower than the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the domestic manufacturing 
deduction which decreased the rate by approximately 2.1%, the R&D tax credit which decreased the rate by approximately 
1.8%, and tax settlements and refunds which decreased the rate by approximately 0.8%. The remaining decrease of 1.0% is 
composed of various unrelated items which individually or collectively are not significant.

Our effective tax rate in 2012 was lower than the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the domestic manufacturing 
deduction  which  decreased  the  rate  by  approximately  1.9%  and  the  2012  Tax  Settlement,  which  decreased  the  rate  by 
approximately 0.8%. The remaining decrease of 0.7% is composed of various unrelated items which individually or collectively

Our effective tax rate in 2014 was 2.8% lower than in 2013 primarily due to the tax benefit on the foreign dividend, which

Adjusted EPS is diluted EPS from continuing operations attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders excluding 
the EPS impact of the FAS/CAS Adjustment, tax effected at the federal statutory rate of 35%, and from time to time, certain 
other items. In addition to the FAS/CAS Adjustment, 2014 Adjusted EPS also excludes the EPS impact of the tax benefit 
related to a foreign dividend. In the first quarter of 2014, a foreign subsidiary authorized and completed a transaction which 
resulted in a taxable dividend of approximately $115 million and generated a net tax benefit of approximately $80 million. 
In addition to the FAS/CAS Adjustment, our 2013 Adjusted EPS also excludes the EPS impact of the R&D tax credit that 
relates  to  2012.  In  January  2013,  Congress  approved  legislation  that  included  the  extension  of  the  R&D  tax  credit. The 
legislation retroactively reinstated the R&D tax credit for 2012 and extended it through December 31, 2013. As a result, we 
recorded the 2012 benefit in the first quarter of 2013. In addition to the FAS/CAS Adjustment, our 2012 Adjusted EPS also 
excludes the EPS impact of the make-whole provision on the early retirement of debt and includes the favorable impact from 
the $25 million ($0.07 per diluted share) 2012 R&D tax credit that was recorded for GAAP reporting in the first quarter of 
2013. The difference between the first quarter of 2013 ($0.08 per share) and full-year 2012 ($0.07 per share) impact of the 

48

 
2012 R&D tax credit is due to a higher number of diluted shares for the full-year 2012 as compared to the first quarter of 
2013. We are providing Adjusted EPS because management uses it for the purpose of evaluating and forecasting our financial 
performance and believes that it provides additional insight into our underlying business performance. We believe it allows 
investors to benefit from being able to assess our operating performance in the context of how our principal customer, the 
U.S. Government, allows us to recover pension and other postretirement benefit costs and to better compare our operating 
performance to others in the industry on that same basis. Adjusted EPS is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP 
and should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial performance in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted 
EPS may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner and the amounts presented may not recalculate 
directly due to rounding.

SEGMENT RESULTS
We report our results in the following segments: IDS; IIS; MS; and SAS. The following provides some context for viewing 
our segment performance through the eyes of management.

Given the nature of our business, bookings, net sales, and operating income (and the related operating margin percentage), 
which we disclose and discuss at the segment level, are most relevant to an understanding of management’s view of our 
segment performance, and often these measures have significant interrelated effects, as described below. In addition, we 
disclose and discuss backlog, which represents future sales that we expect to recognize over the remaining contract period, 
which  is  generally  several  years. We  also  disclose  cost  of  sales  and  the  components  of  cost  of  sales  within  our  segment 
disclosures.

Bookings—We disclose the amount of bookings and notable contract awards for each segment. Bookings generally represent 
the dollar value of new contracts awarded to us during the reporting period and include firm orders for which funding has not 
been appropriated. We believe bookings are an important measure of future performance and are an indicator of potential 
future changes in total net sales, because we cannot record revenues under a new contract without first having a booking in 
the current or a preceding period. 

Bookings are impacted by the timing and amounts of awards in a given period, which are subject to numerous factors, including 
the desired capability by the customer and urgency of customer needs; fiscal constraints placed on customer budgets; political 
uncertainty; the timing of customer negotiations; the timing of governmental approvals and notifications; and the timing of 
option exercises or increases in scope. In addition, due to these factors, quarterly bookings tend to fluctuate from period to 
period, particularly on a segment basis. As a result, we believe comparing bookings on a quarterly basis or periods less than 
one year is less meaningful than for longer periods and that shorter term changes in bookings may not necessarily indicate a 
material trend.

Included in bookings were international bookings of $8,362 million, $6,604 million and $5,979 million in 2014, 2013, and 
2012, respectively, which included foreign military bookings through the U.S. Government. International bookings amounted 
to 35%, 30% and 23% of total bookings in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. Classified bookings amounted to 15%, 13% 
and 16% of total bookings in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. 

We record bookings for not-to-exceed contract awards (e.g., undefinitized contract awards, binding letter agreements) based 
on reasonable estimates of expected contract definitization, which generally will not be less than 75% of the award. We 
subsequently  adjust  bookings  to  reflect  the  actual  amounts  definitized,  or,  when  prior  to  definitization,  when  facts  and 
circumstances indicate that our previously estimated amounts are no longer reasonable. The timing of awards that may cover 
multiple fiscal years influences the size of bookings in each year. Bookings exclude unexercised contract options and potential 
orders under ordering-type contracts (e.g., indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) type contracts), and are reduced for 
contract cancellations and  terminations of  bookings  recognized  in  the  current  year. We  reflect contract cancellations and 

49

 
 
 
terminations from prior year bookings, as well as the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, directly as an adjustment 
to backlog in the period in which the cancellation or termination occurs and the impact is determinable.

Backlog—We disclose period-ending backlog for each segment. Backlog represents the dollar value of firm orders for which 
work has not been performed. Backlog generally increases with bookings and generally converts into sales as we incur costs 
under the related contractual commitments. Therefore, we discuss changes in backlog, including any significant cancellations, 
for each of our segments, as we believe such discussion provides an understanding of the awarded but not executed portions 
of our contracts.

Total backlog includes both funded backlog (firm orders for which funding is authorized, appropriated and contractually 
obligated by the customer for which work has not been performed) and unfunded backlog (firm orders for which funding has 
not been appropriated and/or contractually obligated by the customer for which work has not been performed). Revenue is 
generally not recognized on backlog until funded. Backlog excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under 
ordering-type contracts (e.g., IDIQ). Both funded and unfunded backlog are affected by changes in foreign exchange rates.

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

Total Operating Expenses—We generally disclose operating expenses for each segment in terms of the following: 1) cost of 
sales—labor; 2) cost of sales—materials and subcontractors; and 3) other costs of sales and other operating expenses. Included 
in cost of sales—labor is the incurred direct labor associated with the performance of contracts in the current period and any 
applicable overhead and fringe costs. Included in cost of sales—materials and subcontractors is the incurred direct materials, 
subcontractor costs (which could include effort performed by other Raytheon segments or locations), and applicable overhead 
allocations in the current period. Included in other cost of sales and other operating expenses is other direct costs not captured 
in labor or material and subcontractor costs, such as precontract costs previously deferred, costs previously deferred into 
inventory  on  contracts  using  commercial  or  units  of  delivery  accounting,  applicable  overhead  allocations,  general  and 
administrative expenses, which include administrative and selling expenses (including bid and proposal costs) and research 
and development expenses, other direct costs (such as ancillary services and travel expenses) and adjustments for loss contracts.

50

 
 
Operating Income (and the related operating margin percentage)—We generally express changes in segment operating income 
in terms of volume, net changes in EAC adjustments or changes in contract mix and other program performance.  

The impact of changes in volume on operating income excludes the impact of net EAC adjustments and the impact of changes 
in contract mix and other program performance and is calculated based on changes in costs on individual programs at an 
overall margin for the segment.

Changes in net EAC adjustments typically relate to the current period impact of revisions to total estimated revenues and costs 
at completion. These changes reflect improved or deteriorated operating performance or award fee rates. We have a Company-
wide standard and disciplined quarterly EAC process in which management reviews the progress and performance of our 
contracts. As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract 
matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities, and the related 
changes in estimates of revenues and costs. The risks and opportunities include management's judgment about the ability and 
cost to achieve the schedule (e.g., the number and type of milestone events), technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed 
product  versus  a  mature  product),  and  other  contract  requirements.  Management  must  make  assumptions  and  estimates 
regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials, the 
length of time to complete the contract (e.g., to estimate increases in wages and prices for materials and related support cost 
allocations), performance by our subcontractors, the availability and timing of funding from our customer, and overhead cost 
rates, among other variables. These estimates also include the estimated cost of satisfying our industrial cooperation agreements, 
sometimes referred to as offset obligations, required under certain contracts. Based on this analysis, any quarterly adjustments 
to net sales, cost of sales, and the related impact to operating income are recognized as necessary in the period they become 
known. These adjustments may result from positive program performance, and may result in an increase in operating income 
during the performance of individual contracts, if we determine we will be successful in mitigating risks surrounding the 
technical, schedule, and cost aspects of those contracts or realizing related opportunities. Likewise, these adjustments may 
result in a decrease in operating income if we determine we will not be successful in mitigating these risks or realizing related 
opportunities. Changes in estimates of net sales, cost of sales, and the related impact to operating income are recognized 
quarterly on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current 
and prior periods based on a contract's percentage of completion. A significant change in one or more of these estimates could 
affect the profitability of one or more of our contracts. Given that we have over 15,000 individual contracts and the types and 
complexity of the assumptions and estimates we must make on an on-going basis, as discussed above, we have both favorable 
and unfavorable EAC adjustments. We had the following aggregate EAC adjustments for the periods presented:

2012, our net EAC adjustments as a percentage of total net sales were 2.2%, 2.3% and 2.5%, respectively.

Included in net EAC adjustments in 2014 was an unfavorable $38 million adjustment from a decrease in estimated incentive 
fees on the Australian Air Warfare Destroyer program at IDS due to an increase in expected costs by the shipbuilder to complete 
its portion of the program. Also included in net EAC adjustments in 2014 were net adjustments of $36 million and $35 million 
at IDS on two separate contracts related to the industrial cooperation agreements for an international customer described 
below. There were no significant individual EAC adjustments in 2013 and 2012. 

The $44 million decrease in net EAC adjustments in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily due to the decrease in net EAC 
adjustments at IDS as described beginning on page 52.

The $56 million decrease in net EAC adjustments in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the decrease in net EAC 
adjustments at SAS as described beginning on page 59.

Changes in contract mix and other program performance refer to changes in operating margin due to a change in the relative 
volume of contracts with higher or lower fee rates such that the overall average margin rate for the segment changes and other 
drivers of program performance, including margin rate increases or decreases due to EAC adjustments in prior periods. A 

51

higher or lower expected fee rate at the initial award of a contract typically correlates to the contract's risk profile, which is 
often specifically driven by the type of customer and related procurement regulations, the type of contract (e.g., fixed price 
vs. cost plus), the maturity of the product or service, and the scope of work. Changes in contract mix and other performance 
also include all other items which are not related to volume or EAC adjustments.

Because each segment has thousands of contracts in any reporting period, changes in operating income and margin are likely 
to be due to normal changes in volume, net EAC adjustments, and contract mix and other performance on many contracts 
with no single change, or series of related changes, materially driving a segment's change in operating income or operating 
margin percentage.

control, communications, computers and intelligence (C4I) solutions; and international and domestic Air Traffic Management 
(ATM) systems. IDS delivers combat-proven performance against the complete spectrum of airborne and ballistic missile 
threats and is a world leader in the technology, development, and production of sensors and mission systems. IDS provides 
solutions to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), the U.S. Intelligence Community, and the Federal Aviation Administration 
(FAA), as well as more than 50 international customers which represent approximately half of IDS’ business.

Total Net Sales—The decrease in total net sales of $404 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily due to lower net 
sales of $441 million from the scheduled completion of certain production phases on various Patriot programs for international 
customers, $134 million on a close combat tactical radar program due to planned decreases in production, and $134 million 
on a missile defense radar program for an international customer also due to planned decreases in production. The decrease 
was partially offset by $203 million of higher net sales from an international air defense system program awarded in the fourth 
quarter of 2013, $154 million of higher net sales from an international Patriot program awarded in the first quarter of 2014 
and $135 million of higher net sales from an international Patriot program awarded in the fourth quarter of 2014 driven 
primarily by previously deferred precontract costs. The remaining decrease was spread across numerous programs with no 
individual or common significant driver.  

Total net sales in 2013 were relatively consistent with 2012. Included in total net sales in 2013 was $275 million of lower net 
sales from the scheduled completion of certain production phases on an international Patriot program awarded in the first 
quarter of 2008. The decrease was offset by higher net sales of $339 million on other integrated air and missile defense 
programs for international and domestic customers, driven principally by scheduled program production requirements and 
timing of new awards, and higher net sales of $115 million on a missile defense radar program for an international customer 
driven principally by scheduled program production requirements. The remaining change in total net sales was spread across 
numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver. 

 Total Operating Expenses—The decrease in total operating expenses of $263 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily 
due to a decrease in labor costs of $233 million, principally driven by the activity on the various Patriot programs for international 
customers and the missile defense radar program for an international customer described above in Total Net Sales, partially 
offset by increased labor costs on a naval radar program awarded in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Total operating expenses in 2013 were relatively consistent with 2012. 

Operating Income and Margin—The decrease in operating income of $141 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was due to a 
net change in EAC adjustments of $55 million, decreased volume of $47 million and a change in mix and other performance 
of $39 million. The net change in EAC adjustments was primarily due to a $35 million change in net adjustments on the Air 
Warfare Destroyer (AWD) program primarily driven by a $38 million adjustment for a decrease in estimated incentive fees 
in the second quarter of 2014 due to an increase in expected costs by the shipbuilder to complete their portion of the program, 
and a $28 million change in net adjustments on an integrated air and missile defense program driven by an increase in estimated 
costs due to higher expected effort than previously planned, partially offset by a $30 million change in net adjustments related 
to the industrial cooperation agreements for an international customer discussed below. The remaining change in net EAC 
adjustments was spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver. 

Included in net EAC adjustments was approximately $72 million in 2014 compared to $42 million in 2013 driven primarily 
by  the  reduction  of  expected  costs  to  fulfill  contractual  commitments  on  nine  contracts  related  to  industrial  cooperation 
agreements for an international customer driven by favorable experience in the fourth quarters of 2014 and 2013. One of these 
contracts in the fourth quarter of 2014 had an adjustment of $36 million, driven almost entirely by the reduction of expected 
costs related to the industrial cooperation agreements. Another one of these contracts in the fourth quarter of 2014 had an 
adjustment  of  $35  million,  of  which  $22  million  was  driven  by  the  reduction  of  expected  costs  related  to  the  industrial 
cooperation agreements and the remainder of which was driven by favorable cost performance.

The decrease in volume in 2014 compared to 2013 was driven principally by the programs described above in Total Net Sales. 
The change in mix and other performance in 2014 compared to 2013 was principally driven by lower net sales on various 
Patriot programs for international customers described above in Total Net Sales. The decrease in operating margin in 2014 
compared to 2013 was primarily due to the net change in EAC adjustments and the change in mix and other performance.

53

The increase in operating income of $68 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to a change in mix and other 
performance of $88 million, principally driven by higher net sales on certain international Patriot programs. Included in net 
EAC adjustments was approximately $42 million driven primarily by the reduction of expected costs to fulfill contractual 
commitments on nine contracts related to industrial cooperation agreements for an international customer driven by favorable 
experience in the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase in operating margin in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to 
the change in mix and other performance.

Backlog and Bookings—Backlog was $11,495 million, $10,916 million and $11,656 million at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 
2012, respectively. The increase in backlog of $579 million or 5% at December 31, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013 
was primarily due to bookings in excess of sales in 2014, principally across our Integrated Air and Missile Defense product 
line. The decrease in backlog of $740 million at December 31, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012 was primarily due to 
sales in excess of bookings in 2013, principally across our Global Integrated Sensors product line.

The bookings increase of $1,084 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was driven primarily by the $1,191 million increase in 
the specifically disclosed bookings below. In 2014 IDS booked $2,038 million to provide advanced Patriot air and missile 
defense capability for Qatar, $587 million to provide advanced Patriot air and missile defense capability for Kuwait, $378 
million for the AWD program for the Australian Navy, and $375 million on the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement 
System (STARS) program for the FAA. IDS also booked $284 million to provide Patriot engineering services support for U.S. 
and  international  customers,  $271  million  to  provide  Consolidated  Contractor  Logistics  Support  (CCLS)  for  the  Missile 
Defense Agency  (MDA),  $212  million  to  provide  radar  digital  processors  for  the  Patriot  system  to  the  U.S. Army  and 
international customers, $212 million for a radar sustainment contract for the MDA, $160 million to provide Patriot Guidance 
Enhanced Missile-Tactical (GEM-T) missiles for South Korea, $130 million on the All Electronic Tolling System (AETS) for 
the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), $105 million on the Wide Area Augmentation System Dual 
Frequency Operations (WAAS DFO) program for the FAA, and $94 million to provide Patriot technical and logistics support 
for Taiwan.

The bookings decrease of $764 million in 2013 compared to 2012 includes the $38 million increase in the specifically disclosed 
bookings below and a decrease from other IAMD programs primarily due to the timing of expected international awards and 
lower bookings on a close combat tactical radar program due to the completion of the program. In 2013, IDS booked $1,277 
million on a ground based air defense system for Oman. IDS also booked $393 million for the Engineering and Manufacturing 
Development (EMD) phase of the Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) for the U.S. Navy. In addition, IDS booked $353 
million on the Aegis weapon system for the U.S. Navy, $310 million to provide Patriot engineering services support for U.S. 
and international customers, $297 million to provide advanced Patriot air and missile defense capability for an international 
customer, $204 million to provide Consolidated Contractor Logistics Support (CCLS), $173 million for the production of a

IIS provides a full range of technical and professional services to intelligence, defense, federal and commercial customers 
worldwide. IIS specializes in global Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), navigation, DoD space and weather 
solutions,  cybersecurity,  analytics,  training,  logistics,  mission  support,  and  engineering  and  sustainment  solutions.  Key 
customers include the U.S. Intelligence Community, the U.S. Armed Forces, the FAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration  (NOAA),  Department  of  Homeland  Security  (DHS),  the  National Aeronautics  and  Space Administration 
(NASA) and an increasing number of international customers.

Total Net Sales—Total net sales in 2014 were relatively consistent with 2013. Included in total net sales was $151 million of 
lower net sales on training programs supporting the U.S. Army's Warfighter FOCUS activities resulting from a decrease in 
customer-determined activity levels. Also included in total net sales was $253 million of higher net sales on classified programs. 
The  remaining  change  in  total  net  sales  was  spread  across  numerous  programs  primarily  driven  by  the  domestic  budget 
environment.

The decrease in total net sales of $290 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to lower net sales of $97 million 
on classified programs, lower net sales of $64 million on training programs supporting the U.S. Army’s Warfighter FOCUS 
activities due to a decrease in customer determined activity levels, and lower net sales of $55 million on the National Science 
Foundation (NSF) Polar program, which was completed in the first quarter of 2012. 

Total Operating Expenses—Total operating expenses in 2014 were relatively consistent with 2013. Included in total operating 
expenses was an increase in other cost of sales and other operating expenses of $70 million, primarily due to the timing of 
costs applied to contracts through rates, which had an impact of $38 million.

55

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The decrease in total operating expenses of $264 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the decrease in 
materials and subcontractor costs of $148 million. The decrease in materials and subcontractors costs was driven principally 
by the activity on the programs described above in Total Net Sales. Included in the decrease in total operating expenses was 
a decrease in other cost of sales and other operating expenses of $44 million, primarily due to the timing of costs applied to 
contracts through rates, which had an impact of $41 million.

Operating Income and Margin—Operating income and margin in 2014 were relatively consistent with 2013. Operating income 
in 2014 was reduced by approximately $25 million for certain cybersecurity-related acquisition costs and investments compared 
to $21 million in 2013. Mix and other performance in 2014 included $2 million of legal and other period expenses in connection 
with the UKBA program dispute and arbitration, compared to $9 million in 2013. Mix and other performance in 2014 also 
included $2 million of insurance recovery for legal expenses, compared to $12 million in 2013.

The decrease in operating income of $26 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in volume of $24 
million and a net change in EAC adjustments of $17 million, partially offset by a change in mix and other performance of 
$15 million. The decrease in volume was driven primarily by the programs described above in Total Net Sales. The net change 
in EAC adjustments was driven principally by increased estimated costs to complete a ground control system program. The 
change in mix and other performance was spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver. 
Mix and other performance in 2013 included $9 million of legal and other period expenses in connection with the UKBA 
program dispute and arbitration, compared to $31 million in 2012. Mix and other performance in 2013 also included an 
insurance recovery for legal expenses of $12 million, compared to $34 million in 2012. Operating income in 2013 and 2012 
was reduced by approximately $21 million and $18 million, respectively, of certain cybersecurity-related acquisition costs 
and investments. Operating margin in 2013 was relatively consistent with 2012.

Backlog and Bookings—Backlog was $5,877 million, $5,856 million and $6,409 million at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 
2012,  respectively.  Backlog  in  2014  was  relatively  consistent  with  2013.  The  decrease  in  backlog  of  $553  million  at 
December 31, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012 was primarily due to sales in excess of bookings in 2013, primarily by 
numerous classified contracts, the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) program, and the Global Positioning System Next 
Generation Operational Control System (GPS-OCX) program.

The bookings increase of $260 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was driven primarily by the $764 million increase in the 
specifically disclosed bookings below, partially offset by a decrease in bookings on less significant awards not specifically 
disclosed. In 2014, IIS booked $511 million for a U.S. Air Force program, $174 million on a contract to provide ISR support 
to the U.S. Air Force, $161 million on a program to provide operations and maintenance services on an international radar 
system, and $127 million on the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) program for NASA. IIS also booked $768 million on 
domestic training programs and $263 million on foreign training programs in support of Warfighter FOCUS activities, and 
$1,876 million on a number of classified contracts, including a $260 million award for international cyber.

The bookings decrease of $424 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was driven primarily by the $482 million decrease in the 
specifically disclosed bookings below. In 2013, IIS booked $823 million on domestic training programs and $346 million on 
foreign training programs in support of the Warfighter FOCUS activities, $251 million to design, develop, and deliver technical 
training to a commercial customer, and $166 million on a contract to provide ISR support to the U.S. Air Force. IIS also 
booked $1,530 million on a number of classified contracts, including a $100 million award for international cyber.

In 2012, IIS booked $900 million on domestic training programs and $394 million on foreign training programs in support 
of the Warfighter FOCUS activities, $246 million for work on the Air Traffic Control Optimum Training Solution (ATCOTS) 
contract to maintain and improve air traffic control (ATC) training and support the FAA in meeting the current and future ATC 
demands, and $172 million on a contract to provide ISR support to the U.S. Air Force. Additionally, IIS booked $1,886 million 
on a number of classified contracts.

combat sensor solutions. Key customers include the U.S. Navy, Army, Air Force and Marine Corps, the MDA and the armed 
forces of more than 40 allied nations.   

Total Net Sales—The decrease in total net sales of $290 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily due to $298 million 
of lower net sales on land warfare systems programs driven principally by planned declines in production due to the U.S. 
Army budget environment.

Total net sales in 2013 were relatively consistent with 2012. Included in total net sales was $247 million of lower net sales 
on U.S. Army sensor programs driven principally by planned declines in production due to the U.S. Army budget environment 
and  higher  net  sales  of  $156  million  on  an  international  Paveway™  program  due  to  planned  production  increases  and 
development efforts and $114 million on an air warfare systems program due to higher volume driven by scheduled increases 
in production and development efforts. The remaining change in total net sales was spread across numerous programs with 
no individual or common significant driver.

Total Operating Expenses—The decrease in total operating expenses of $260 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily 
due to a decrease in other cost of sales and other operating expenses of $105 million and a decrease in labor costs of $75 
million, both driven principally by the land warfare systems programs as described above in Total Net Sales.

57

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Total operating expenses in 2013 were relatively consistent with 2012.

Operating Income and Margin—The decrease in operating income of $30 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily 
due to decreased volume of $33 million, principally driven by lower net sales on the land warfare systems programs described 
above in Total Net Sales. Operating margin in 2014 was relatively consistent with 2013.

The decrease in operating income of $31 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the $44 million change in 
mix and other performance principally driven by $34 million due to lower net sales on certain air warfare systems programs 
and $26 million due to the activity on the U.S. Army sensor programs described above in Total Net Sales, partially offset by 
$17 million of costs related to ending a supplier agreement and $14 million for inventory valuation allowances in 2012. The 
decrease in operating margin in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the change in mix and other performance.

Backlog and Bookings—Backlog was $9,269 million, $9,162 million and $10,676 million at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 
2012, respectively. Backlog at December 31, 2014 was relatively consistent with December 31, 2013. The decrease in backlog 
of $1,514 million at December 31, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012 was primarily due to sales in excess of bookings, 
principally within our Land Warfare Systems, Air and Missile Defense and Air Warfare Systems product lines.

The bookings increase of $1,162 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was driven primarily by the $1,769 million increase in 
the specifically disclosed bookings below. In 2014, MS booked $893 million for Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wireless-
guided (TOW) missiles for the U.S. Army, U.S. Marines and international customers, $706 million for Advanced Medium-
Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM®) for the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy and international customers, $634 million for 
Standard Missile-3 (SM-3®) for the MDA, $510 million for Phalanx weapon systems for the U.S. Navy, U.S. Army and 
international customers, $359 million for AIM-9X Sidewinder short range air-to-air missiles for the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force 
and international customers, $321 million for Paveway™ for the U.S. Air Force, and international customers, $316 million 
for Tomahawk for the U.S. Navy and international customers, $307 million for Standard Missile-6 (SM-6) for the U.S. Navy, 
$216 million for the production of Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle (EKV) contract for the MDA, $211 million for the production 
of ESSM™ for the U.S. Navy and international customers, $150 million for Maverick missiles for the U.S. Air Force, U.S. 
Navy and international customers, $149 million for the Iron Dome Tamir Co-Production program for an international customer, 
$123 million for Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM™) for the U.S. Navy and international customers, $119 million for production 
of Javelin missiles for the U.S. Army, $117 million for Laser Guided Rockets for an international customer, $104 million for 
Miniature Air-Launch Decoy (MALD®) for the U.S. Air Force, $80 million for the Excalibur program for the U.S. Army, and 
$140 million on a classified program.

The bookings decrease of $2,573 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was driven primarily by the $2,355 million decrease in 
the specifically disclosed bookings below. In 2013, MS booked $619 million for the production and development of SM-3 
and $586 million for the production of AMRAAM® for the U.S. Air Force and international customers, $423 million for 
Phalanx weapon systems for the U.S. Navy and international customers, $396 million for the production of Paveway™ for 
the U.S. Air Force and international customers, $343 million for the production of EKV contract for the MDA, $281 million 
for AIM-9X Sidewinder short range Air-To-Air Missiles for the U.S. Navy and international customers, $269 million for 
production of ESSM™ for the U.S. Navy and international customers, $265 million for the production of SM-6 for the U.S. 
Navy, $221 million for the production of RAM™ for the U.S. Navy and international customers, $189 million for the production 
of the Joint Stand-off Weapon (JSOW) for the U.S. Navy and international customers, and $94 million for the production of 
the MALD® program for the U.S. Air Force. 

 In 2012, MS booked $1,421 million for the production and development of SM-3™ and $855 million for the EKV production 
contract  for  the  MDA,  $710  million  for Tomahawk  for  the  U.S.  Navy  and  international  customers,  $689  million  for  the 
production of Paveway™ for the U.S. Air Force and international customers, $553 million for the production of AMRAAM® 
for the U.S. Air Force and international customers, $364 million for the production of RAM for the U.S. Navy and international 
customers, $356 million for the production of TOW® missiles for the U.S. Army, $301 million for production of ESSM™ for 
the U.S. Navy and international customers, $281 million for the production of SM-6 for the U.S. Navy, $216 million for 
AIM-9X Sidewinder short range Air-To-Air Missiles for the U.S. Navy and international customers, $190 million for Phalanx

SAS  is  a  leader  in  the  design  and  development  of  integrated  sensor  and  communication  systems  for  advanced  missions, 
including  traditional  and  non-traditional  ISR,  precision  engagement,  unmanned  aerial  operations,  and  space.  Leveraging 
advanced concepts, state-of-the-art technologies and mission  systems knowledge, SAS  provides  EO/IR sensors,  airborne 
radars for surveillance and fire control applications, lasers, precision guidance systems, signals intelligence systems, processors, 
electronic warfare systems, communication systems, and space-qualified systems for civil and military applications. Key 
customers include the U.S. Navy, Air Force and Army, as well as classified and international customers.

Total  Net  Sales—The  decrease  in  total  net  sales  of  $299  million  in  2014  compared  to  2013  was  primarily  due  to  lower 
intersegment sales of $163 million principally driven by lower volume on contracts supporting U.S. Army ground sensor 
systems,  lower  net sales  of  $144  million on  classified  programs,  lower  net  sales  of  $101  million on  certain intelligence, 
surveillance and reconnaissance systems programs principally driven by reduced program requirements, and lower net sales 
of $68 million on integrated communications systems programs principally driven by lower U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force 
customer requirements on tactical communications systems. The decrease in total net sales was partially offset by higher net 
sales of $132 million on an electronic warfare systems contract driven by cost and schedule requirements.

The decrease in total net sales of $452 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to lower net sales of $197 million 
on certain classified programs and $119 million on certain intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance programs due to 
reduced program requirements. 

Total Operating Expenses—The decrease in total operating expenses of $225 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was due to 
decreases in labor costs of $225 million and materials and subcontractors costs of $159 million, partially offset by an increase 
in other cost of sales and other operating expenses of $159 million. The decrease in labor costs was principally driven by the 

59

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
activity on the programs described above in Total Net Sales. The decrease in materials and subcontractors costs was driven 
by the activity on the programs described above in Total Net Sales, with the remaining change spread across numerous programs 
with no individual or common significant driver. The increase in other cost of sales and other operating expenses was primarily 
driven by a change in previously deferred precontract costs based on contract awards or funding, which had an impact of $42 
million, higher general and administrative expenses of $35 million driven by higher independent research and development 
activity related to electronic warfare technology, and an $18 million legal reserve for a contractual dispute.

The decrease in total operating expenses of $384 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in materials 
and subcontractors costs of $401 million, primarily due to the activity on the programs described above in Total Net Sales.

Operating Income and Margin—The decrease in operating income of $74 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily 
due to a decrease in mix and other performance of $40 million and a decrease in volume of $33 million. The decrease in mix 
and other performance was principally due to $7 million of income in 2014 from certain license royalties based on third-party 
usage compared to $34 million in 2013 and an $18 million legal reserve for a contractual dispute. Also included in mix and 
other performance in 2014 and 2013 was $40 million and $45 million, respectively, of acquisition-related costs. The decrease 
in volume was principally driven by the programs described above in Total Net Sales. The decrease in operating margin in 
2014 compared to 2013 was primarily driven by the change in mix and other performance.

The decrease in operating income of $68 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was due to a decrease in volume of $56 million 
and a net change in EAC adjustments of $46 million, partially offset by a change in mix and other performance of $34 million. 
The decrease in volume was driven principally by the programs described above in Total Net Sales. The net change in EAC 
adjustments was principally from higher EAC adjustments in 2012 on integrated communications systems programs as a result 
of material and labor efficiencies spread across various production programs. The increase in mix and other performance was 
primarily due to $34 million of income in 2013 from certain license royalties based on third-party usage compared with $4 
million  in  2012,  partially  offset  by  $45  million  of  acquisition-related  costs  in  2013  compared  with  $33  million  in  2012. 
Operating margin in 2013 was relatively consistent with 2012.

Backlog and Bookings—Backlog was $6,930 million, $7,751 million and $7,440 million at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 
2012, respectively. The decrease in backlog of $821 million or 11% at December 31, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013 
was primarily due to a backlog adjustment of approximately $450 million for a contract that was terminated for convenience. 
The increase in backlog of $311 million at December 31, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012 was primarily due to bookings 
in excess of sales, principally within our Tactical Airborne Systems product line.

The bookings decrease of $586 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was driven primarily by lower bookings in our Electronic 
Warfare and Tactical Airborne Systems product lines, partially offset by higher bookings in our Intelligence, Surveillance and 
Reconnaissance Systems product line. In 2014, SAS booked $267 million to provide radar subsystems for the U.S. Navy, 
$197 million to provide radar components for an international customer, $105 million for Advanced Targeting Forward Looking 
Infrared (ATFLIR) pods and spares for the U.S. Navy and international customers, $92 million on an optical sensor satellite 
program for a commercial customer, $81 million for software enhancements for the Active Electronically Scanned Array 
(AESA) radars for the U.S. Air Force, and $76 million on the Navy Multiband Terminal (NMT) program. SAS also booked 
$1,320 million on a number of classified contracts.

The bookings decrease of $611 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was driven primarily by the $998 million decrease in the 
specifically disclosed bookings below. In 2013, SAS booked $825 million on radar contracts for international customers, $210 
million to provide Multi-Spectral Targeting Systems (MTS) for unmanned aerial vehicles to the U.S. Air Force, and $132 
million for the Navy Multiband Terminal (NMT) program for the U.S. Navy. SAS also booked $862 million on a number of 
classified contracts.

In 2012, SAS booked $617 million on radar contracts for international customers, $205 million to provide MTS for unmanned 
aerial vehicles to the U.S. Air Force, $187 million for the NMT program for the U.S. Navy, $77 million for the production of 
radar warning receivers for the U.S. Navy, and $76 million for the production of the Multi-Platform Radar Technology Insertion 
Program (MP-RTIP) surveillance system for NATO. SAS also booked $1,865 million on a number of classified contracts.

FAS/CAS Adjustment
The FAS/CAS Adjustment represents the difference between our pension and other postretirement benefit (PRB) expense or 
income under Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) requirements under GAAP and our pension and PRB expense under 
U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). The results of each segment only include pension and PRB expense 
under CAS that we generally recover through the pricing of our products and services to the U.S. Government.

On December 27, 2011, the CAS Pension Harmonization Rule (CAS Harmonization) was published in the Federal Register. 
The rule impacted pension costs on contracts beginning in 2013 and has been included for forward pricing purposes since 
February 2012. The rule intends to improve the alignment of the pension cost recovered through contract pricing under CAS 
and the pension funding requirements under the PPA. The rule shortened the CAS amortization period for gains and losses 
from 15 to 10 years and requires the use of a discount rate based on high quality corporate bonds, consistent with PPA, to 
measure liabilities in determining the CAS pension expense. While the change in amortization period was applicable in 2013, 
there is a transition period for the impact of the change in liability measurement method of 0% in 2013, 25% in 2014, 50% 
in 2015, 75% in 2016 and 100% in 2017. CAS Harmonization increases pension costs under CAS and decreases our FAS/
CAS expense in 2014 and beyond primarily due to the liability measurement transition period included in the rule. 

In July 2012, the Surface Transportation Extension Act, which is also referred to as the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st 
Century Act (STE Act), was passed by Congress and signed by the President. The STE Act includes a provision for temporary 
pension funding relief due to the low interest rate environment. The provision adjusts the 24-month average high quality 
corporate bond rates used to determine the PPA funded status so that they are within a floor and cap, or “corridor”, based on 
the 25-year average of corporate bond rates. The STE Act gradually phases out this interest rate provision beginning in 2013. 
In August 2014, the pension provisions of the STE Act were extended as part of the Highway and Transportation Funding Act 
of 2014 (HATFA). As a result, the interest rates used to determine PPA funded status will continue to be adjusted within a 
“corridor” and do not begin to phase out until 2018. Prior to the extension of such pension funding relief under the HATFA, 
we expected to make required contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans of approximately $900 
million  in  2014.  The  HATFA  reduced  our  required  2014  pension  and  other  postretirement  benefit  plan  contributions  to 
approximately $700 million As a result of lower expected contributions under HATFA in both 2014 and 2015, our 2014 
expected tax payments increased by approximately $300 million. The HATFA also impacts our CAS expense in 2014, since 
CAS Harmonization incorporates the PPA interest rate into CAS calculations. Our 2014 CAS expense decreased by $69 million 
resulting in a reduction in our 2014 FAS/CAS income by the same amount since the HATFA does not change the calculation 
of our 2014 FAS expense. However, reductions in our pension contributions under the HATFA would increase our FAS expense 
in future years by the amount of expected return that would have applied to the contributions.

The key drivers of the difference between FAS and CAS expense (and consequently, the FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment) are 
the pattern of earnings and expense recognition for gains and losses that arise when our asset and liability experience differs 
from our assumptions under each set of requirements and the calculation of funded status under CAS Harmonization. In 
accordance with both FAS and CAS, a “calculated market-related value” of our plan assets is used to calculate the amount of 
deferred asset gains or losses to be amortized. The market-related value of assets is determined using actual asset gains or 
losses over a certain prior period (three years for FAS and five years for CAS, subject to certain limitations under CAS on the 
difference between the market-related value and actual market value of assets). Generally, gains or losses are amortized under 
FAS over the average future working lifetime of the eligible employee population of approximately 10 years. As described 

61

 
above, beginning in 2013, CAS Harmonization reduced this amortization period from 15 to 10 years, as well as changed the 
liability measurement method. Another driver of CAS expense (but not FAS expense) is the funded status of our pension plans 
under CAS. As noted above, CAS expense is only recognized for plans that are not fully funded; consequently, if plans become 
or cease to be fully funded under CAS due to our asset or liability experience, our CAS expense will change accordingly.

The change in our FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment of $534 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was driven by a $345 million 
decrease in our FAS expense and by a $189 million increase in our CAS expense. The decrease in our FAS expense in 2014 
was primarily due to the higher discount rate at December 31, 2013 compared to the discount rate as of December 31, 2012, 
and the favorable 2013 asset performance. The increase in the CAS expense in 2014 was primarily due to the first year of the 
CAS Harmonization phased transition to the use of a discount rate based on high quality corporate bonds, consistent with 
PPA, to measure liabilities in determining the CAS pension expense. This was offset by a decrease in CAS as a result of the 
passage  of  the  HATFA Act  described  above. The  change  in  the  discount  rate  used  to  measure  liabilities  for  purposes  of 
determining CAS pension expenses has been included in our contracts through our overhead forward pricing rates.

The change in our FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment of $2 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was driven by a $147 million 
increase in FAS and a $149 million increase in our CAS expense. The increase in our FAS expense in 2013 was primarily due 
to the increase in the amortization of deferred actuarial losses as a result of the decrease in the discount rate. The increase in 
the CAS expense in 2013 was primarily due to the continued recognition of the 2008 negative asset returns. 

For 2015 compared to 2014, we currently expect our FAS expense to increase more than our CAS expense resulting in a lower 
FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment to income. We expect the FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment to be approximately $200 million of 
income driven by the differences in the assumptions and the recognition period for gains and losses under FAS and CAS and 
CAS Harmonization and the impact of the change in our long-term ROA assumption, as described above. This expected 
increase in FAS and CAS expense is subject to our annual update, generally planned in the third quarter, of our actuarial 
estimate of the unfunded benefit obligation for both FAS and CAS for final census data. After 2015, the FAS/CAS Pension 
Adjustment is more difficult to predict because future FAS and CAS expense is based on a number of key assumptions for 
future periods. Differences between those assumptions and future actual results could significantly change both FAS and CAS 
expense in future periods. However, based solely on our current assumptions at December 31, 2014 and taking into account 
CAS Harmonization, which increases CAS expense in 2014 and beyond, we would expect our FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment 
to increase income in 2016.

The decrease in operating income related to Corporate of $50 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily due to $25 
million of stock compensation expense associated with restricted stock units (RSUs) awarded in 2014. The RSU awards vest 
over a specified period of time as determined by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of our Board 
of Directors (MDCC) and are compensatory in nature. The RSUs continue to vest, but do not accelerate, on the scheduled 
vesting  dates  into  retirement  subject  to  the  employee's  compliance  with  certain  post-employment  covenants.  Due  to  the 
continued vesting provisions of the RSUs into retirement, the Company recognized all of the stock compensation expense 
associated with the RSUs in 2014 rather than over the vesting period of the awards.

Total net sales and operating income related to Corporate in 2013 remained relatively consistent with 2012.

Discontinued Operations
In pursuing our business strategies we have divested certain non-core businesses, investments and assets when appropriate. 
All residual activity relating to our previously disposed businesses appears in discontinued operations.

In the second quarter of 2014, we received notice of the resolution of a dispute and related litigation with the U.S. Government 
regarding  pension  segment  closing  adjustments  under  U.S.  Government  Cost Accounting  Standard  413  (CAS  413)  for 
operations we divested over ten years ago. Under CAS 413, a pension plan termination adjustment is required when a contractor 
divests a business, yet retains ownership of the pension plan assets and liabilities of that business. These adjustments can 
result in payments to the U.S. Government for pension plans that are in surplus position or payments to contractors for plans 
that are in a deficit position. As a result, in 2014 we received payment of $81 million and recorded a $52 million gain, net of 
federal tax expense, in discontinued operations, attributable to the affected plans that were in a deficit position at the time of 
divestiture. 

In the divestiture of Flight Options LLC (Flight Options), we agreed to indemnify Flight Options in the event Flight Options 
was assessed and paid excise taxes. In the fourth quarter of 2010, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) appeals proceedings failed 
to resolve the federal excise tax dispute, and as a result, the IRS assessed Flight Options for excise taxes. As a result, in the 
fourth quarter of 2010, we recorded a $39 million charge, net of federal tax benefit, in discontinued operations. In the first 
quarter of 2011, Flight Options paid the assessment. We contested the matter through litigation, and in the fourth quarter of 
2013, we reached a settlement and recorded a $33 million gain, net of federal tax expense, in discontinued operations.

Additionally in the fourth quarter of 2013, we reached a settlement regarding certain tax audits associated with our divestiture 
of Raytheon Aircraft Company. As a result of this settlement, we recorded a $25 million gain, net of federal tax expense, in 
discontinued operations. 

We retained certain assets and liabilities of our previously-disposed businesses. At December 31, 2014 we had $1 million of 
assets. At December 31, 2013 we had $56 million of assets primarily related to a receivable for an excise tax settlement 
associated with Flight Options. At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $15 million and $16 million of liabilities 
primarily related to certain environmental and product liabilities, non-income tax obligations, various contract obligations 
and  aircraft  lease  obligations. We  also  retained  certain  pension  assets  and  obligations,  which  we  include  in  our  pension 
disclosures. 

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Overview
We pursue a capital deployment strategy that balances funding for growing our business, including working capital, capital 
expenditures, acquisitions and research and development; prudently managing our balance sheet, including debt repayments 
and pension contributions; and returning cash to our shareholders, including dividend payments and share repurchases, as 
outlined below. Our need for, cost of and access to funds are dependent on future operating results, as well as other external 
conditions. We currently expect that cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities, cash flow from operations and 
other available financing resources will be sufficient to meet anticipated operating, capital expenditure, investment, debt 
service and other financing requirements during the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future.

The change of $194 million in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily 
due to higher pension contributions and higher net tax payments described below, partially offset by discontinued operations 
cash activity primarily due to a resolution of a dispute and related litigation with the U.S. Government regarding pension 
segment closing adjustments under CAS 413 for operations we divested over ten years ago as discussed above in Segment 
Results beginning on page 49. The change of $421 million in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities in 2013 
compared to 2012 was primarily due to lower net tax payments and lower pension contributions described below.

Pension Plan Contributions—We may make both required and discretionary contributions to our pension plans. Required 
contributions are primarily determined in accordance with the Pension Protection Act (PPA), which amended the Employee 
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) rules and are affected by the actual return on plan assets and plan funded 
status. The funding requirements under the PPA require us to fully fund our pension plans over a rolling seven-year period as 
determined annually based upon the funded status at the beginning of the year. The PPA funded status is based on actual asset 
performance, averaged over three years and PPA discount rates, which are based on a 24-month average of high quality 
corporate bond rates, as published by the IRS. In July 2012, the Surface Transportation Extension act, which is also referred 
to as the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (STE Act), was passed by Congress and signed by the President. 
The STE Act includes a provision for temporary pension funding relief due to the low interest rate environment. The provision 
adjusts the 24-month average high quality corporate bond rates used to determine the PPA funded status so that they are within 
a floor and cap, or “corridor”, based on the 25-year average of corporate bond rates. The STE Act gradually phases out this 
interest rate provision beginning in 2013. In August 2014, the pension provisions of the STE Act were extended as part of the 
Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 (HATFA). As a result, the interest rates used to determine PPA funded status 
will continue to be adjusted within a “corridor” and do not begin to phase out until 2018. Prior to the extension of such pension 
funding relief under HATFA, we expected to make required contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit 
plans of approximately $900 million in 2014. The HATFA reduced our required 2014 pension and other postretirement benefit 
plan contributions to approximately $700 million. As a result of lower expected contributions under HATFA in both 2014 and 
2015, our 2014 expected tax payments increased by approximately $300 million. 

We made the following required and discretionary contributions during the years ended December 31:

The decrease in required contributions of $128 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily due to HATFA described 
above. The increase in required contributions of $57 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the gradual phase 
out of the STE Act described above. We expect to make required contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit 
plans of approximately $360 million in 2015. We periodically evaluate whether to make discretionary contributions. Due to 
the differences in requirements and calculation methodologies, our FAS pension expense or income is not indicative of the 
funding requirement or amount of government recovery.

Other postretirement benefit payments were $20 million, $22 million and $19 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Federal and foreign net tax payments for 2015 are expected to approximate $1,229 million. The increase in expected federal 
and foreign net tax payments in 2015 is primarily due to the timing and amount of pension contributions.

Interest Payments—We made interest payments on our outstanding debt of $209 million, $210 million and $198 million in 
2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in interest payments in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the 
issuance of $1.1 billion of fixed-rate long-term debt in the fourth quarter of 2012.

In  November  2014,  we  acquired  Blackbird  Technologies,  Incorporated,  subsequently  renamed  Raytheon  Blackbird 
Technologies (RBT), for $427 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and exclusive of retention payments. RBT is a leading 
provider of persistent surveillance, secure tactical communications and cybersecurity solutions to the Intelligence Community 
and special operations market and further expands our Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS) offerings. In connection 
with this acquisition, we have preliminarily recorded $301 million of goodwill, all of which was allocated to our IIS business 
segment, primarily related to expected synergies from combining operations and the value of the existing workforce, and $126 
million  of  intangible  assets,  primarily  related  to  contractual  relationships,  completed  technology  and  trade  names  with  a 
weighted average life of nine years. We expect to complete the purchase price allocation process in the first quarter of 2015 
when we receive final valuation results and complete our review.

In June 2013, we acquired Visual Analytics, Incorporated, subsequently renamed Raytheon Visual Analytics Incorporated.  
RVAI further extends our capabilities to meet the data analytics, data visualization and information sharing needs of our 
customers, and this acquisition is part of our strategy to enhance our Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS) offerings. 
In connection with this acquisition, we have recorded $12 million of goodwill, primarily related to expected synergies from 
combining  operations  and  the  value  of  the  existing  workforce,  and  $3  million  of  intangible  assets,  primarily  related  to 
technology and customer relationships with a weighted-average life of seven years. 

In December 2012, we acquired the Government Solutions business of SafeNet, Inc., subsequently renamed Raytheon Secure 
Information Systems, LLC (RSIS) for approximately $280 million in cash, net of cash acquired and exclusive of retention 
payments. RSIS was integrated into our Space and Airborne Systems (SAS) business, within the Integrated Communications 
Systems product line as the Secure Information Systems product area. RSIS provides advanced encryption capabilities needed 
by government and industry customers to protect classified data. In connection with this transaction we have recorded $195 
million of goodwill related to expected synergies from combining operations and the value of the existing workforce, and $75 
million of intangible assets, primarily related to technology with a weighted-average life of eight years.

Additionally, in 2012 we acquired Teligy, Inc., subsequently renamed Raytheon Teligy, Inc., and an Australian company, 
Poseidon Scientific Instruments Pty Ltd., for an aggregate of $22 million in cash, net of cash acquired. Raytheon Teligy, Inc. 
further extends our cybersecurity offerings in wireless communications at Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS). The 
Poseidon Scientific Instruments Pty Ltd. acquisition is part of our strategy to extend and enhance our Integrated Defense 
Systems (IDS) offerings. In connection with these acquisitions we recorded $15 million of goodwill, primarily related to 
expected synergies from combining operations, and $5 million of intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships 
and technology with a weighted-average life of six years.

We have used cash provided by operating activities, and proceeds from the issuance of new debt as our primary source for 
the repayment of debt, payment of dividends, pension contributions, the repurchase of our common stock and acquisitions. 
The change of $861 million in net cash provided by (used in) financing activities in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily 
due to the issuance of long-term debt and the decrease in stock repurchases described below. The change of $551 million in 
net cash provided by (used in) financing activities in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the change in the amount 
of stock repurchased described below and the net impact of the issuance and repayment of long-term debt in 2012. 

Debt—In the fourth quarter of 2014, we received proceeds of $592 million for the issuance of $600 million fixed-rate long-
term debt. 

In the fourth quarter of 2012, we received proceeds of $1,092 million for the issuance of $1.1 billion fixed-rate long-term 
debt and exercised our call rights to repurchase, at prices based on fixed spreads to U.S. Treasuries, $970 million of our long-
term debt due in 2014 and 2015 at a loss of $29 million pretax, $19 million after-tax, which is included in other expense 
(income), net.

Share  Repurchases—In  November  2013,  our  Board  of  Directors  authorized  the  repurchase  of  up  to  $2.0  billion  of  our 
outstanding common stock. At December 31, 2014, we had approximately $1.5 billion available under this repurchase program. 
Share repurchases will take place from time to time at management’s discretion depending on market conditions.

$2.20 per share. Dividends are subject to quarterly approval by our Board of Directors. 

CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total debt was $5.3 billion at December 31, 2014, and $4.7 billion December 31, 2013. Our outstanding debt bears contractual 
interest at fixed interest rates ranging from 2.5% to 7.2% and matures at various dates from 2018 through 2044.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments—Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $4.7 
billion and $4.3 billion at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. We may invest in U.S. Treasuries; AAA/
Aaa rated money market funds; certificates of deposit, time deposits and commercial paper of banks with a minimum long-
term debt rating of A or A2 and minimum short-term debt rating of A-1 and P-1, and commercial paper of corporations with 
a minimum long-term debt rating of A- or A3 and minimum short-term debt rating of A-2 and P-2. Cash and cash equivalents 
and short-term investments balances held at our foreign subsidiaries were approximately $715 million and $810 million at 
December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. In the first quarter of 2014, a foreign subsidiary authorized and 
completed a transaction which resulted in a taxable dividend of approximately $115 million. The transaction does not affect 
our indefinite reinvestment assertion because it generated a net tax benefit of approximately $80 million. Earnings from our 
foreign subsidiaries are currently deemed to be indefinitely reinvested. We do not expect such reinvestment to affect our 
liquidity and capital resources, and we continuously evaluate our liquidity needs and ability to meet global cash requirements 
as a part of our overall capital deployment strategy. Factors that affect our global capital deployment strategy include anticipated 
cash flows, the ability to repatriate cash in a tax efficient manner, funding requirements for operations and investment activities, 
acquisitions and divestitures, and capital market conditions.

Credit Facilities—In December 2011, we entered into a $1.4 billion revolving credit facility maturing in 2016. Under the $1.4 
billion credit facility, we can borrow, issue letters of credit and backstop commercial paper. Borrowings under this facility 
bear interest at various rate options, including LIBOR plus a margin based on our credit ratings. Based on our credit ratings 
at  December 31,  2014,  borrowings  would  generally  bear  interest  at  LIBOR  plus  79.5  basis  points. The  credit  facility  is 
comprised of commitments from approximately 25 separate highly rated lenders, each committing no more than 10% of the 
facility. As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no borrowings outstanding under this credit facility. 
However, we had $2 million of outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, which effectively 
reduced our borrowing capacity under this credit facility by those same amounts. 

Under the $1.4 billion credit facility we must comply with certain covenants, including a ratio of total debt to total capitalization 
of no more than 60%. We were in compliance with the credit facility covenants during 2014 and 2013. Our ratio of total debt 
to total capitalization, as those terms are defined in the credit facility, was 35.9% at December 31, 2014. We are providing 

67

 
 
 
this ratio as this metric is used by our lenders to monitor our leverage and is also a threshold that limits our ability to utilize 
this facility. 

Credit Ratings—Three major corporate debt rating organizations, Fitch Ratings (Fitch), Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) 
and Standard & Poor’s (S&P), assign ratings to our short-term and long-term debt. The following chart reflects the current

Purchase obligations in the table above represent enforceable and legally binding agreements with suppliers to purchase goods 
or services. We enter into contracts with customers, primarily the U.S. Government, which entitle us to full recourse for costs 
incurred,  including  purchase  obligations,  in  the  event  the  contract  is  terminated  by  the  customer  for  convenience. These 
purchase  obligations are  included above  notwithstanding the amount for  which we  are entitled to  full recourse  from our 
customers. The table above does not include required pension and other postretirement benefit contributions. We expect to 
make required pension and other postretirement benefit contributions of approximately $360 million in 2015, exclusive of 
any U.S. Government recovery. Amounts beyond 2015 for required pension and other postretirement benefit contributions 
depend upon actuarial assumptions, actual plan asset performance and other factors described under pension costs in Critical 
Accounting  Estimates  beginning  on  page  34.  However,  based  solely  on  our  current  assumptions,  we  expect  our  funding 
requirements to be approximately $145 million in 2016, exclusive of any U.S. Government recovery, and decreasing thereafter.

Interest payments include interest on debt that is redeemable at our option.

As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions 
and the accrual for the related interest, net of the federal benefit, was $108 million and $121 million, respectively, and was 
included in accrued retiree benefits and other long-term liabilities. These amounts were not included in the table above because 
we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of when a cash settlement, if any, will occur with a tax authority as the 
timing of examinations and ultimate resolutions of those examinations is uncertain.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
At December 31, 2014, we had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements other than operating leases and guarantees to 
third parties on behalf of our affiliates as described below in Commitments and Contingencies. Such arrangements are not 
material to our overall liquidity or capital resources, market risk support or credit risk support as described below.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Environmental Matters—We are involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to remediation of various 
environmental sites. Our estimate of the liability of total environmental remediation costs includes the use of a discount rate 
and takes into account that a portion of these costs is eligible for future recovery through the pricing of our products and 
services to the U.S. Government. We consider such recovery probable based on government contracting regulations and our 
long history of receiving reimbursement for such costs, and accordingly have recorded the estimated future recovery of these 
costs from the U.S. Government within contracts in process, net. Our estimates regarding remediation costs to be incurred 
were as follows at December 31:

We also lease certain government-owned properties and generally are not liable for remediation of preexisting environmental 
contamination at these sites. As a result, we generally do not provide for these costs in our consolidated financial statements.  

Due  to  the  complexity  of  environmental  laws  and  regulations,  the  varying  costs  and  effectiveness  of  alternative  cleanup 
methods and technologies, the uncertainty of insurance coverage and the unresolved extent of our responsibility, it is difficult 
to determine the ultimate outcome of environmental matters. However, we do not expect any additional liability to have a 
material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

affiliates. These instruments expire on various dates through 2023. Additional guarantees of project performance for which 
there is no stated value also remain outstanding. The stated values outstanding consisted of the following at December 31:

Included in guarantees and letters of credit described above were $196 million and $244 million, respectively, at December 31, 
2014, and $233 million and $268 million, respectively, at December 31, 2013, related to our Thales-Raytheon Systems Co. 
Ltd. (TRS) joint venture. We provide these guarantees and letters of credit to TRS and other affiliates to assist these entities 
in obtaining financing on more favorable terms, making bids on contracts and performing their contractual obligations. While 
we expect these entities to satisfy their loans and meet their project performance and other contractual obligations, their failure 
to do so may result in a future obligation to us. We periodically evaluate the risk of TRS and other affiliates failing to satisfy 
their loans and meet their project performance and other contractual obligations described above. At December 31, 2014, we 
believe the risk that TRS and other affiliates will not be able to perform or meet their obligations is minimal for the foreseeable 
future based on their current financial condition. All obligations were current at December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2014 
and December 31, 2013, we had an estimated liability of $9 million and $8 million, respectively, related to these guarantees 

69

 
 
 
 
 
and letters of credit. The increase in letters of credit of $514 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily driven by advance 
payment bonds of approximately $500 million related to certain international programs. 

The TRS joint venture agreement was amended on June 10, 2014 to allow for termination of the joint venture by either party 
every three years based on the scheduled date for the designation of a successor Chief Executive Officer for the joint venture 
which would next occur in 2016. Termination terms and related payments are subject to negotiation between Thales S.A. 
(Thales) and Raytheon, but generally would include a net payment due for undistributed earnings of the joint venture companies 
since inception and a net payment based on the relative fair value of those companies excluding Air Command Systems 
International S.A.S. (ACSI). As a result, any final future termination amounts cannot be determined precisely at this time and 
could be different from those amounts recorded to date. However, if the joint venture were terminated as of December 31, 
2014, we believe the termination payment we would be required to make based on a standard valuation approach would not 
be material. If a termination liability exceeds $50 million, the agreement allows the paying side to elect to make payments, 
inclusive of interest, in equal installments over five years to settle the liability. 

In 1997, we provided a first loss guarantee of $133 million on $1.3 billion of U.S. Export-Import Bank loans (maturing in the 
second quarter of 2015) to the Brazilian Government related to IDS' System for the Vigilance of the Amazon (SIVAM) program. 
As of December 31, 2014, the guarantee amount was $60 million. Loan repayments by the Brazilian Government were current 
at December 31, 2014.

We have entered into industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset agreements, as a condition to obtaining 
orders for our products and services from certain customers in foreign countries. At December 31, 2014, the aggregate amount 
of our offset agreements had an outstanding notional value of approximately $5 billion. To the extent we have entered into 
purchase obligations that satisfy our offset agreements, those amounts are included in the Contractual Obligations table on 
page 68. These agreements are designed to return economic value to the foreign country by requiring us to engage in activities 
supporting local defense or commercial industries, promoting a balance of trade, developing in-country technology capabilities, 
or addressing other local development priorities. Offset agreements may be satisfied through activities that do not require a 
direct cash payment, including transferring technology, providing manufacturing, training and other consulting support to in-
country projects, and the purchase by third parties (e.g., our vendors) of supplies from in-country vendors. These agreements 
may also be satisfied through our use of cash for activities such as subcontracting with local partners, purchasing supplies 
from in-country vendors, providing financial support for in-country projects, and making investments in local ventures. Such 
activities may also vary by country depending upon requirements as dictated by their governments. We typically do not commit 
to offset agreements until orders for our products or services are definitive. The amounts ultimately applied against our offset 
agreements are based on negotiations with the customers and typically require cash outlays that represent only a fraction of 
the notional value in the offset agreements. Offset programs usually extend over several or more years and may provide for 
penalties in the event we fail to perform in accordance with offset requirements. We have historically not been required to 
pay any such penalties.

As a U.S. Government contractor, we are subject to many levels of audit and investigation by the U.S. Government relating 
to our contract performance and compliance with applicable rules and regulations. Agencies that oversee contract performance 
include:  the  Defense  Contract Audit Agency,  the  Defense  Contract  Management Agency,  the  Inspector  General  of  the 
Department of Defense and other departments and agencies, the Government Accountability Office, the Department of Justice 
and Congressional Committees. From time to time, these and other agencies investigate or conduct audits to determine whether 
our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable requirements. Such investigations and audits could result 
in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, the suspension 
of government export licenses or the suspension or debarment from future U.S. Government contracting. U.S. Government 
investigations often take years to complete and many result in no adverse action against us. Our final allowable incurred costs 
for each year are also subject to audit and have from time to time resulted in disputes between us and the U.S. Government 
with litigation resulting at the Court of Federal Claims (COFC) or the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) 
or their related courts of appeals. In addition, the Department of Justice has, from time to time, convened grand juries to 
investigate possible irregularities by us. We also provide products and services to customers outside of the U.S. and those 
sales are subject to local government laws, regulations, and procurement policies and practices. Our compliance with such 
local government regulations or any applicable U.S. Government regulations (e.g., the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulations) may also be investigated or audited. Other than as specifically disclosed herein, 
we do not expect these audits, investigations or disputes to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations 
or liquidity, either individually or in the aggregate.

On July 22, 2010, Raytheon Systems Limited (RSL) was notified by the UK Border Agency (UKBA) that it had been terminated 
for cause on a program. The termination notice included allegations that RSL had failed to perform on certain key milestones 
and other matters in addition to claiming entitlement to recovery of certain losses incurred and previous payments made to 
RSL. We believe that RSL performed well and delivered substantial capabilities to the UKBA under the program, which has 
been operating successfully and providing actionable information since live operations began in May 2009. As a result of the 
termination notice, we adjusted our estimated amounts of revenue and cost under the program in the second quarter of 2010. 
On July 29, 2010, RSL filed a dispute notice on the grounds that the termination by the UKBA was not valid. On August 18, 
2010, the UKBA initiated arbitration proceedings on this issue. On March 22, 2011, the UKBA gave notice that it had presented 
a demand to draw on the approximately $80 million of letters of credit provided by RSL upon the signing of the contract with 
the UKBA in 2007. On March 23, 2011, the UKBA submitted a detailed claim in the arbitration of approximately £350 million 
(approximately $545 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2014) for damages and clawback of previous 
payments, plus interest and arbitration costs, excluding any credit for capability delivered or draw on the letters of credit. The 
UKBA also asserted that additional amounts may be detailed in the claim in the future if estimates of its damages change, and 
for continuing post-termination losses and any re-procurement costs, which have not been quantified. At RSL's request, on 
March 29, 2011, the Arbitration Tribunal issued an interim order restraining the UKBA from drawing down on the letters of 
credit pending a hearing on the issue. Following the hearing, the Tribunal lifted the restraint on the basis that, at this early 
stage of the proceedings, the Tribunal had not heard the evidence needed to decide the merits of whether the contractual 
conditions for a drawdown had been established. The Tribunal also concluded that any decision on the UKBA's right to call 
on the letters of credit is inextricably intertwined with the ultimate decision on the merits in the arbitration. The Tribunal also 
preserved RSL's right to claim damages should RSL later establish that the drawdown was not valid. As a result, on April 6, 
2011, the UKBA drew the $80 million on the letters of credit.

As a result of the Tribunal's decision that the letters of credit are inextricably intertwined with the ultimate decision on the 
merits in the arbitration, we were no longer able to evaluate, independently from the overall claim, the probability of recovery 
of any amounts drawn on the letters of credit. We therefore recorded $80 million of costs related to the UKBA drawdown 
(UKBA LOC Adjustment), which was included in the operating expenses of our Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS) 
segment in the first quarter of 2011.

In June 2011, RSL submitted in the arbitration its defenses to the UKBA claim as well as substantial counterclaims in the 
amount of approximately £500 million (approximately $778 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 
2014) against the UKBA for the collection of receivables, damages and interest. On October 3, 2011, the UKBA filed its reply 
to RSL's counterclaims, and increased its claim amount by approximately £32 million, to include additional civil service and 
post termination costs, and approximately £33 million for interest, raising the gross amount of the UKBA claim for damages 
and clawback of previous payments to approximately £415 million (approximately $646 million based on foreign exchange 
rates as of December 31, 2014). On January 6, 2012, RSL filed its response to the UKBA's reply. RSL is pursuing vigorously 
the collection of all receivables for the program and damages in connection with the wrongful termination and mounted a 
strong  defense  to  the  UKBA's  alleged  claims  for  losses  and  previous  payments.  RSL  has  also  settled  substantially  all 
subcontractor claims, novated all key subcontracts to the UKBA and agreed with the UKBA that RSL's exit obligations to 
operate the previously delivered capability ended in April 2011. Effective April 15, 2011, the UKBA took over responsibility 
for operating the previously delivered capability. In March 2013, the UKBA updated the total net amount of its claims to 
approximately £302 million (approximately $470 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2014) for 
damages, clawback of previous payments and interest, and inclusive of a credit for capability delivered by RSL. Arbitration 
hearings commenced in late 2013 and were completed in 2013. We continue to believe that the receivables and other assets 
remaining under the program for technology and services delivered of approximately $40 million at December 31, 2014 are 
probable of recovery.

On August 15, 2014, RSL received a decision from the Tribunal. The Tribunal found that the UKBA had unlawfully terminated 
RSL for default and had therefore repudiated the eBorders contract with RSL. Accordingly, the Tribunal denied the UKBA’s 
claims for damages and clawback of previous payments. In addition, the Tribunal found that the UKBA had wrongfully retained 
the $80 million it had drawn on RSL letters of credit in April 2011. The Tribunal awarded RSL approximately £185 million 
(approximately $288 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2014) as payment for capabilities delivered, 
damages and other monetary relief. The Tribunal reserved ruling on costs and on the quantification of interest payable to RSL 
for a later date. 

71

On September 15, 2014, the UKBA filed a challenge to the award in the London High Court. RSL is vigorously opposing 
such challenge. The payment of amounts awarded to RSL is now pending resolution of the challenge. Due to the inherent 
uncertainties of arbitration and litigation, no amounts regarding this matter were recorded in our financial results for the year 
ended December 31, 2014.

On June 29, 2012 and July 13, 2012, we received a contracting officer’s final decision (COFD) for 2004 and 2005 incurred 
costs at SAS. The COFDs demand a total payment of $241 million for costs, interest and penalties associated with several 
issues, the largest of which relates to specific research and development and capital projects undertaken by SAS between 2000 
and 2005. To date, no COFDs have been provided for 2000 to 2003 periods at SAS on these issues. The Government alleges 
that the costs incurred on the projects should have been charged directly to U.S. Government contracts rather than through 
indirect rates and that these costs should not be recoverable. We strongly disagree with the Government's position. We have 
requested a deferment of the payment and in February and May 2013, we filed complaints in the U.S. COFC challenging the 
2004 and 2005 COFDs, respectively. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot estimate a range of potential 
loss. We believe that we appropriately charged the disputed costs based on government accounting standards and applicable 
precedent and properly disclosed our approach to the Government. We also believe that in many cases, the statute of limitations 
has run on the issues. Based upon the foregoing, we do not expect the results of the COFDs to have a material impact on our 
financial position, results of operations or liquidity. 

In addition, various other claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal course of business are pending or 
threatened against, or initiated by, us. We do not expect any of these proceedings to result in any additional liability or gains 
that would materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. In connection with certain of our legal 
matters, we may be entitled to insurance recovery for qualified legal costs. We do not expect any insurance recovery to have 
a material impact on the financial exposure that could result from these matters.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2014-09 Revenue 
from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) which will replace numerous requirements in U.S. GAAP, including industry-
specific requirements, and provide companies with a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts 
with customers. The core principle of the new standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of 
promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be 
entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning 
after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. For Raytheon, the standard will be effective 
in the first quarter of 2017. The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, 
in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented, or the modified retrospective method, 
in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application. We have 
not yet selected a transition method. We are currently evaluating the potential changes from this ASU to our future financial 
reporting  and  disclosures.  However,  under  the  new  standard  we  expect  to  continue  using  the  cost-to-cost  percentage  of 
completion method to recognize revenue for most of our long-term contracts.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): 
Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Under the new guidance, management 
will be required to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in 
certain circumstances. The provisions of this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and 
for annual and interim periods thereafter. This ASU is not expected to have an impact on our financial statements or disclosures. 

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2014 are not expected to have a material impact 
on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary market exposures are to interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

We generally supplement our working capital requirements with a combination of variable-rate short-term and fixed-rate long-
term financing. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts with commercial banks to fix the foreign currency exchange 
rates on specific commitments and payments to vendors and customer receipts. We may enter into interest rate swap agreements 
with commercial and investment banks to manage interest rates associated with our financing arrangements. The market-risk 
sensitive instruments we use for hedging are entered into with commercial and investment banks and are directly related to a 
particular asset, liability or transaction for which a firm commitment is in place.

The following tables provide information as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 about our market risk exposure 
associated with changing interest rates. For long-term debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows by maturity 
date and average interest rates related to outstanding obligations. There were no interest rate swaps outstanding at December 31, 
2014 and December 31, 2013.

In addition, the aggregate notional amount of the outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was $926 million and $1,396 
million at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The net exposure of these contracts was approximately 
$57 million and $78 million at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

For foreign currency forward contracts designated and qualifying for hedge accounting, we record the effective portion of the 
gain or loss on the derivative in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, and reclassify it into earnings in the same 
period or periods during which the hedged revenue or cost of sales transaction affects earnings. Unrealized gains of $7 million 
and $23 million were included in non-current assets and unrealized losses of $24 million and $26 million were included in 
current liabilities at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. 

Realized gains and losses resulting from these cash flow hedges offset the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on the 
underlying assets or liabilities being hedged. We believe our exposure due to changes in foreign currency rates is not material 
due to our hedging policy.

At December 31, 2014, we had short-term investments with a fair value of $1,497 million, which are classified as available-
for-sale and consist of highly rated bank certificates of deposit with a minimum long-term debt rating of A or A2 and a minimum 
short-term debt rating of A-1 and P-1. Our exposure due to changes in interest rates is not material due to the nature and 
amount of our short-term investments (i.e., high-quality certificates of deposit which had an average maturity of approximately 
5 months).

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

COMPANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The  financial  statements  and  related  information  contained  in  this Annual  Report  have  been  prepared  by  and  are  the 
responsibility of our management. Our financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles 
generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect judgments and estimates as to the expected effects of transactions 
and events currently being reported. Our management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements 
and other financial information included in this Annual Report. To meet this responsibility, we maintain a system of internal 
control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are properly 
executed and recorded. The system includes policies and procedures, internal audits and our officers’ reviews.

Our Audit Committee of our Board of Directors is composed solely of directors who are independent under applicable SEC 
and  New York  Stock  Exchange  rules.  Our Audit  Committee  meets  periodically  and,  when  appropriate,  separately  with 
representatives of the independent registered public accounting firm, our officers and the internal auditors to monitor the 
activities of each.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, was appointed by our Audit Committee to 
audit our financial statements and our internal control over financial reporting and their report follows. Our stockholders 
ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. 
In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-
Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated 
Framework,  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the Treadway  Commission  (COSO)  in  2013. The 
Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the 
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting 
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial 
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are 
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance 
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on its assessment, management has concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial 
reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the COSO in 
2013. The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, has been audited 
by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included 
below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Raytheon Company:

In  our  opinion,  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  and  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  operations,  of 
comprehensive income, of equity, and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Raytheon 
Company and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each 
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the 
United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control 
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework 
issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  (COSO)  in  2013.  The  Company’s 
management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting 
and  for  its  assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  included  in  the  accompanying 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial 
statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our 
audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards 
require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 
material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. 
Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures 
in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and 
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining 
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing 
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included 
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the 
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures 
that  (i) pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that,  in  reasonable  detail,  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  the  transactions  and 
dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to 
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and 
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the 
company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, 
or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate 
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidation and Classification—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Raytheon Company, and 
all wholly-owned, majority-owned and otherwise controlled domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions 
have been eliminated. For classification of certain current assets and liabilities, we use the duration of the related contract or 
program as our operating cycle, which is generally longer than one year. In addition, certain prior year amounts have been 
reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. As used in these notes, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “Raytheon” 
and the “Company” mean Raytheon Company and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates another meaning.

Use of Estimates—Our consolidated financial statements are based on the application of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting 
Principles (GAAP), which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported 
in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined 
with certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from 
those estimates, and any such differences may be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition—We use the percentage-of-completion accounting method to account for our long-term contracts 
associated with the design, development, manufacture, or modification of complex aerospace or electronic equipment and 
related services, such as certain cost-plus service contracts. Under this method, revenue is recognized based on the extent of 
progress towards completion of the long-term contract. Our analysis of these contracts also contemplates whether contracts 
should be combined or segmented in accordance with the applicable criteria under GAAP. We combine closely related contracts 
when  all  the  applicable  criteria  under  GAAP  are  met.  The  combination  of  two  or  more  contracts  requires  judgment  in 
determining whether the intent of entering into the contracts was effectively to enter into a single project, which should be 
combined to reflect an overall profit rate. Similarly, we may segment a project, which may consist of a single contract or 
group of contracts, with varying rates of profitability, only if the applicable criteria under GAAP are met. Judgment also is 
involved in determining whether a single contract or group of contracts may be segmented based on how the arrangement 
was negotiated and the performance criteria. The decision to combine a group of contracts or segment a contract could change 
the amount of revenue and gross profit recorded in a given period.  

The selection of the method by which to measure progress towards completion of a contract also requires judgment and is 
based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. We generally use the cost-to-cost measure of progress for our 
long-term contracts unless we believe another method more clearly measures progress towards completion of the contract. 
Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs 
incurred  to  date  to  the  total  estimated  costs  at  completion  of  the  contract.  Contract  costs  include  labor,  materials  and 
subcontractors costs, as well as an allocation of indirect costs. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded as 
costs are incurred. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of our contracts, the estimation of total 
revenue and cost at completion (the process for which we describe below in more detail) is complex and subject to many 
variables. Incentive and award fees generally are awarded at the discretion of the customer or upon achievement of certain 
program milestones or cost targets. Incentive and award fees, as well as penalties related to contract performance, are considered 
in estimating profit rates. Estimates of award fees are based on actual awards and anticipated performance, which may include 
the performance of subcontractors or partners depending on the individual contract requirements. Incentive provisions that 
increase or decrease earnings based solely on a single significant event generally are not recognized until the event occurs. 
Such incentives and penalties are recorded when there is sufficient information for us to assess anticipated performance. Our 
claims on contracts are recorded only if it is probable that the claim will result in additional contract revenue and the amounts 
can be reliably estimated. 

We have a Company-wide standard and disciplined quarterly Estimate at Completion (EAC) process in which management 
reviews the progress and performance of our contracts. As part of this process, management reviews information including, 
but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, 
identified risks and opportunities, and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. The risks and opportunities 
include management's judgment about the ability and cost to achieve the schedule (e.g., the number and type of milestone 
events), technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product), and other contract requirements. 
Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work 
to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the contract (e.g., to estimate increases in wages 
and prices for materials and related support cost allocations), performance by our subcontractors, the availability and timing 

81

 
 
 
 
   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

of funding from our customer, and overhead cost rates, among other variables. These estimates also include the estimated 
cost of satisfying our industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset obligations, required under certain 
contracts. Based on this analysis, any quarterly adjustments to net sales, cost of sales, and the related impact to operating 
income are recognized as necessary in the period they become known. These adjustments may result from positive program 
performance, and may result in an increase in operating income during the performance of individual contracts, if we determine 
we will be successful in mitigating risks surrounding the technical, schedule, and cost aspects of those contracts or realizing 
related opportunities. Likewise, these adjustments may result in a decrease in operating income if we determine we will not 
be successful in mitigating these risks or realizing related opportunities. Changes in estimates of net sales, cost of sales, and 
the related impact to operating income are recognized quarterly on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes in the 
current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a contract's percentage of completion. 
A significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of one or more of our contracts. When 
estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire 
loss on the contract is recognized in the period the loss is determined.  

Net EAC adjustments had the following impact on our operating results:

To  a  much  lesser  extent,  we  enter  into  other  types  of  contracts  such  as  service,  commercial,  or  software  and  licensing 
arrangements. Revenue under fixed-price service contracts not associated with the design, development, manufacture, or 
modification of complex aerospace or electronic equipment, and under commercial contracts, generally is recognized upon 
delivery or as services are rendered once persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, our price is fixed or determinable, 
and collectability is reasonably assured. Costs on fixed-price service contracts are expensed as incurred, unless they otherwise 
qualify for deferral. We recognize revenue on contracts to sell software when evidence of an arrangement exists, the software 
has been delivered and accepted by the customer, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable. For software 
arrangements that include multiple elements, including perpetual software licenses and undelivered items (e.g., maintenance 
and/or services; subscriptions/term licenses), we allocate and defer revenue for the undelivered items based on vendor specific 
objective evidence (VSOE) of the fair value of the undelivered elements, and recognize revenue on the perpetual license using 
the residual method. We base VSOE of each element on the price for which the undelivered element is sold separately. We 
determine fair value of the undelivered elements based on historical evidence of our stand-alone sales of these elements to 
third parties or from the stated renewal rate for the undelivered elements. When VSOE does not exist for undelivered items, 
we recognize the entire arrangement fee ratably over the applicable performance period. Revenue from non-software license 
fees is recognized over the expected life of the continued involvement with the customer. Additionally, royalty revenue is 
recognized when earned.  

We apply the separation guidance under GAAP for contracts with multiple deliverables. We analyze revenue arrangements 
with multiple deliverables to determine if the deliverables should be divided into more than one unit of accounting. For 
contracts with more than one unit of accounting, we allocate the consideration we receive among the separate units of accounting 
based on their relative selling prices, which we determine based on prices of the deliverables as sold on a stand-alone basis, 
or if not sold on a stand-alone basis, the prices we would charge if sold on a stand-alone basis. We recognize revenue for each 
deliverable based on the revenue recognition policies described above. 

Research and Development Expenses—Research and development expenses are included in general and administrative 
expenses  in  our  consolidated  statements  of  operations.  Expenditures  for  Company-sponsored  research  and  development 
projects are expensed as incurred, and were $500 million, $465 million and $451 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 
Customer-sponsored research and development projects performed under contracts are accounted for as contract costs as the 
work is performed and included in contracts in process, net in our consolidated balance sheets.

Federal, Foreign and State Income Taxes—The Company and its domestic subsidiaries provide for federal income taxes 
on pretax accounting income at rates in effect under existing tax law. Foreign subsidiaries record provisions for income taxes 
at applicable foreign tax rates in a similar manner. Such provisions differ from the amounts currently payable because certain 

82

 
 
   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

items of income and expense are recognized in different time periods for financial reporting purposes than for income tax 
purposes. The Company does not provide for a U.S. income tax liability on undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. 
Such earnings are indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations or expected to be remitted substantially free of additional tax. 
Payments made for state income taxes are included in administrative and selling expenses as these costs can generally be 
recovered through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. Government in the period in which the tax is payable. 
Accordingly, the state income tax provision (benefit) is allocated to contracts in future periods as described below in Deferred 
Contract Costs.

Other Expense (Income), Net—Other expense (income), net consists primarily of gains and losses from our investments 
held in trusts used to fund certain of our non-qualified deferred compensation plans, gains and losses on the early repurchase 
of long-term debt and certain financing fees.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities 
of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates the carrying 
value due to their short maturities. 

Short-term Investments—We invest in marketable securities in accordance with our short-term investment policy and cash 
management strategy. These marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value as short-
term investments in our consolidated balance sheets. These investments are deemed Level 2 assets under the fair value hierarchy 
at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, as their fair value is determined under a market approach using valuation 
models that utilize observable inputs, including maturity date, issue date, settlements date, and current rates. At December 31, 
2014 and December 31, 2013, we had short-term investments of $1,497 million and $1,001 million, respectively, consisting 
of highly rated bank certificates of deposit with a minimum long-term debt rating of A or A2 and a minimum short-term debt 
rating of A-1 and P-1. As of December 31, 2014, our short-term investments had an average maturity of approximately five 
months. The amortized cost of these securities closely approximated their fair value at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 
2013. There were no securities deemed to have other than temporary declines in value for 2014. In 2014, we recorded unrealized 
losses on short-term investments of less than $1 million, net of tax, in AOCL. In 2013, we recorded unrealized gains on short-
term investments of less than $1 million, net of tax, in AOCL. In 2014, we recorded sales of short-term investments of $882 
million, which resulted in gains of less than $1 million recorded in other (income) expense, net. In 2013, we recorded sales 
of short-term investments of $325 million, which resulted in gains of approximately $1 million recorded in other (income) 
expense, net. For purposes of computing realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, we determine cost on a 
specific identification basis. 

Contracts in Process, Net—Contracts in process, net are stated at cost plus estimated profit, but not in excess of estimated 
realizable value. Included in contracts in process are accounts receivable, which include amounts billed and due from customers. 
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of accounts receivable that will not be 
collected. The allowance is based upon an assessment of customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience, the age 
of outstanding receivables and collateral to the extent applicable.

Deferred Contract Costs—Included in contracts in process, net are certain costs related to the performance of our U.S. 
Government contracts which are required to be recorded under GAAP but are not currently allocable to contracts. Such costs 
are deferred and primarily include a portion of our environmental expenses, asset retirement obligations, certain restructuring 
costs, deferred state income taxes, workers’ compensation and certain other accruals. At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 
2013, net deferred contract costs were approximately $223 million and $279 million, respectively. These costs are allocated 
to contracts when they are paid or otherwise agreed. We regularly assess the probability of recovery of these costs. This 
assessment requires us to make assumptions about the extent of cost recovery under our contracts and the amount of future 
contract activity. If the level of backlog in the future does not support the continued deferral of these costs, the profitability 
of our remaining contracts could be adversely affected.

Pension and other postretirement benefits costs are allocated to our contracts as allowed costs based on the U.S. Government 
cost accounting standards (CAS). The CAS requirements for pension and other postretirement benefits costs differ from the 
financial  accounting  standards  (FAS)  requirements  under  GAAP.  Given  the  inability  to  match  with  reasonable  certainty 
individual expense and income items between the CAS and FAS requirements to determine specific recoverability, we have 
not estimated the incremental FAS income or expense to be recoverable under our expected future contract activity, and 
therefore did not defer any FAS expense for pension and other postretirement benefits plans in 2012–2014. This resulted in 

83

 
 
 
 
   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

$286 million of income, $249 million of expense, and $255 million of expense in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, reflected 
in our consolidated results of operations for the difference between CAS and FAS requirements for our pension and other 
postretirement benefits plans in those years.

Inventories—Inventories are stated at cost (first-in, first-out or average cost), but not in excess of net realizable value. An 
impairment for excess or inactive inventory is recorded based upon an analysis that considers current inventory levels, historical 
usage patterns, future sales expectations and salvage value.

Inventories consisted of the following at December 31:

We capitalize costs incurred in advance of contract award or funding in inventories if we determine that contract award or 
funding is probable. To the extent these are precontract costs, start-up costs have been excluded. We included capitalized 
precontract costs and other deferred costs of approximately $126 million and $100 million in inventories as work in process 
at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Net—Property, plant and equipment, net are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. 
Major improvements are capitalized while expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor improvements are expensed. We 
include gains and losses on the sales of plant and equipment that are allocable to our contracts in overhead as we generally 
can recover these costs through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. Government. For all other sales or asset 
retirements, the assets and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts, and any 
resulting gain or loss is reflected in income.

Provisions for depreciation generally are computed using a combination of accelerated and straight-line methods and are 
based on estimated useful lives as follows: 

Machinery and equipment
Buildings

Years
3–10
20–45

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the remaining life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the 
improvement.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-lived Assets—We evaluate our goodwill for impairment annually or whenever events 
or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. We perform our annual impairment test 
as of the first day of the fourth quarter utilizing a two-step methodology that requires us to first identify potential goodwill 
impairment and then measure the amount of the related goodwill impairment loss, if any. We have identified our operating 
segments  as  reporting  units  under  the  impairment  test  assessment  criteria  outlined  in  GAAP.  In  performing  our  annual 
impairment test in the fourth quarters of 2014, 2013 and 2012 we did not identify any goodwill impairment.

We determine whether long-lived assets are to be held for use or disposal. Upon indication of possible impairment of long-
lived assets held for use, we evaluate the recoverability of such assets by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against 
the related estimated undiscounted future cash flows. When an evaluation indicates that the future undiscounted cash flows 
are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset, the asset is adjusted to its estimated fair value. In order for long-
lived assets to be considered held for disposal, we must have committed to a plan to dispose of the assets. Once deemed held 
for disposal, the assets are stated at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value.

   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Computer Software, Net—Internal use computer software, net, included in other assets, net, which consists primarily of our 
enterprise-wide software solutions, is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and is amortized using the straight-line 
method over its estimated useful life, generally 10 years.

Advance Payments and Billings in Excess of Costs Incurred—We receive advances, performance-based payments and 
progress payments from customers that may exceed costs incurred on certain contracts. We classify advance payments and 
billings in excess of costs incurred as current liabilities. Costs incurred in excess of billings are classified as contracts in 
process, net.

Other  Comprehensive  Income  (Loss)—Other  comprehensive  income  (loss)  includes  foreign  exchange  translation 
adjustments, gains and losses on derivative instruments qualified as cash flow hedges, unrealized gains (losses) on investments, 
and gains and losses associated with pension and other postretirement benefits. The computation of other comprehensive 
income (loss) and its components are presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. 

Other comprehensive income (loss) consisted of the following activity during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and

Material amounts reclassified out of AOCL were related to amortization of net actuarial loss associated with our pension and 
other employee benefit plans and were $892 million, $1,154 million and $942 million before tax in 2014, 2013 and 2012, 
respectively. This component of AOCL is included in the calculation of net periodic pension expense (income) (see "Note 
13: Pension and Other Employee Benefits" for additional details).

The defined benefit pension and other employee benefit plans are shown net of tax benefits of $4,005 million and $2,780 
million at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The cash flow hedges and interest rate locks are shown 
net of tax benefits of $8 million and $4 million at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The unrealized 
gains (losses) on investments and other are shown net of tax benefits of $2 million and $4 million at December 31, 2014 and 
December 31, 2013, respectively. We expect approximately $6 million of after-tax net unrealized losses on our cash flow 
hedges  at  December 31,  2014  to  be  reclassified  into  earnings  at  then-current  values  over  the  next  twelve  months  as  the 
underlying hedged transactions occur.

Translation of Foreign Currencies—Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates 
and  the  effects  of  these  translation  adjustments  are  reported  as  a  component  of AOCL  in  equity.  Deferred  taxes  are  not 
recognized for translation-related temporary differences of foreign subsidiaries as their undistributed earnings are considered

to be indefinitely reinvested. Income and expenses in foreign currencies are translated at the average exchange rate during 
the period. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses in 2014, 2013 and 2012 were not material.

Treasury Stock—Repurchased shares are retired immediately upon repurchase. We account for treasury stock under the cost 
method. Upon retirement the excess over par value is charged against additional paid-in capital.

Pension  and  Other  Postretirement  Benefits  Costs—We  have  pension  plans  covering  the  majority  of  our  employees, 
including certain employees in foreign countries. We calculate our pension costs as required under GAAP, and the calculations 
and assumptions utilized require judgment. GAAP outlines the methodology used to determine pension expense or income 
for financial reporting purposes. For purposes of determining pension expense under GAAP, a calculated “market-related 
value” of our plan assets is used to develop the amount of deferred asset gains or losses to be amortized. The market-related 
value of assets is determined using actual asset gains or losses over a three year period. Under GAAP, a “corridor” approach 
may be elected and applied in the recognition of asset and liability gains or losses which limits expense recognition to the net 
outstanding gains and losses in excess of the greater of 10 percent of the projected benefit obligation or the calculated "market-
related value" of assets. We do not use a “corridor” approach in the calculation of FAS expense.  

We recognize the funded status of a postretirement benefit plan (defined benefit pension and other benefits) as an asset or 
liability in our consolidated balance sheets. Funded status represents the difference between the projected benefit obligation 
of the plan and the market value of the plan’s assets. Previously unrecognized deferred amounts such as demographic or asset 
gains or losses and the impact of historical plan changes are included in AOCL. Changes in these amounts in future years will 
be reflected through AOCL and amortized in future pension expense over the estimated average remaining employee service 
period.

Derivative Financial Instruments—We enter into foreign currency forward contracts with commercial banks to fix the 
foreign currency exchange rates on specific commitments, payments, and receipts. Our foreign currency forward contracts 
are transaction driven and relate directly to a particular asset, liability or transaction for which commitments are in place. For 
foreign currency forward contracts designated and qualified for cash flow hedge accounting, we record the effective portion 
of the gain or loss on the derivative in AOCL, net of tax, and reclassify it into earnings in the same period or periods during 
which the hedged revenue or cost of sales transaction affects earnings.

We recognize all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. 
We measure and record the impact of counterparty credit risk into our valuation and the impact was not material for the years 
ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. We designate most foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted 
purchases and sales denominated in foreign currencies, and interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of our fixed-rate financing 
obligations. We classify the cash flows from these instruments in the same category as the cash flows from the hedged items. 
We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Realized gains and losses resulting from these cash flow hedges offset the foreign exchange gains and losses on the underlying 
transactions being hedged. Gains and losses on derivatives not designated for hedge accounting or representing either hedge 
ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized currently in net sales or 
cost of sales.

We also periodically enter into pay-variable, receive-fixed interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with our 
fixed-rate financing obligations. We account for our interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of a portion of our fixed-rate 
financing obligations, and accordingly record gains and losses from changes in the fair value of these swaps in interest expense, 
along with the offsetting gains and losses on the fair value adjustment of the hedged portion of our fixed-rate financing 
obligations. We also record in interest expense the net amount paid or received under the swap for the period and the amortization 
of gain or loss from the early termination of interest rate swaps. There were no interest rate swaps outstanding for the years 
ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. For a discussion of the impacts of our hedging activities on our results, see "Note 8: 
Derivative Financial Instruments".

Fair Values—The accounting standard for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires 
expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset 
or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction 
between market participants on the measurement date. This accounting standard established a fair value hierarchy, which 

86

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of 
inputs required:

Level 1:  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:  Observable inputs, other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices 
in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or that we corroborate with observable market 
data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.  

Level 3:  Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the assets or 

liabilities. 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of marketable securities held in trust, short-term 
investments and foreign currency forward contracts as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. Fair value information for those assets 
and liabilities, including their classification in the fair value hierarchy, is included in "Note 13: Pension and Other Employee 
Benefits" (for marketable securities held in trust), "Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" (for short-term 
investments), and "Note 8: Derivative Financial Instruments" (for foreign currency forward contracts). We did not have any 
significant nonfinancial assets or nonfinancial liabilities that would be recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring 
basis as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. We did not have any material amounts of Level 3 assets or liabilities at December 31, 
2014 and 2013.

Earnings per Share (EPS)—We compute basic EPS attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders by dividing 
income from continuing operations attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders, income (loss) from discontinued 
operations attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders, and net income attributable to Raytheon Company, by 
our weighted-average common shares outstanding, including participating securities outstanding, as described below, during 
the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution beyond shares for basic EPS that could occur if securities or other 
contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted into common stock, or resulted in the issuance of common stock 
that would have shared in our earnings. We compute basic and diluted EPS using actual income from continuing operations 
attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders, income (loss) from discontinued operations attributable to Raytheon 
Company common stockholders, net income attributable to Raytheon Company, and our actual weighted-average shares and 
participating securities outstanding rather than the numbers presented within our consolidated financial statements, which are 
rounded to the nearest million. As a result, it may not be possible to recalculate EPS as presented in our consolidated financial 
statements. Furthermore, it may not be possible to recalculate EPS attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders 
by adjusting EPS from continuing operations by EPS from discontinued operations.

We include all unvested stock awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid 
or unpaid, in the number of shares outstanding in our basic and diluted EPS calculations. As a result, we have included all of 
our outstanding unvested restricted stock and Long-term Performance Plan (LTPP) awards that meet the retirement eligible 
criteria in our calculation of basic and diluted EPS. We disclose EPS for common stock and unvested share-based payment 
awards, and separately disclose distributed and undistributed earnings. Distributed earnings represent common stock dividends 
and dividends earned on unvested share-based payment awards of retirement eligible employees. Undistributed earnings 
represent earnings that were available for distribution but were not distributed. Common stock and unvested share-based 
payment awards earn dividends equally.

Employee Stock Plans—Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of 
the award. The expense is recognized over the employees’ requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award. 
The expense is amortized over the service period using the graded vesting method for our restricted stock and restricted stock 
units and the straight-line amortization method for our LTPP. The related gross excess tax benefit received upon exercise of 
stock options or vesting of a stock-based award, if any, is reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows as a financing 
activity rather than an operating activity.

Risks  and  Uncertainties—We  provide  a  wide  range  of  technologically  advanced  products,  services  and  solutions  for 
principally governmental customers in the U.S. and abroad, and are subject to certain business risks specific to that industry. 
Total sales to the U.S. Government, excluding foreign military sales, were 70%, 72%, and 73% of total net sales in 2014, 
2013 and 2012, respectively. Total sales to customers outside the U.S., including foreign military sales through the U.S. 

87

 
 
 
   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Government, were 29%, 27% and 26% of total net sales in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Sales to the U.S. Government 
may be affected by changes in procurement policies, budget considerations, changing concepts of national defense, political 
developments abroad and other factors. Sales to international customers may be affected by changes in the priorities and 
budgets  of  international  customers,  which  may  be  driven  by  changes  in  threat  environments,  geo-political  uncertainties, 
potentially  volatile  worldwide  economic  conditions,  various  regional  and  local  economic  and  political  factors,  risks  and 
uncertainties and U.S. foreign policy. 

Note 2: Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2014-09 Revenue 
from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) which will replace numerous requirements in U.S. GAAP, including industry-
specific requirements, and provide companies with a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts 
with customers. The core principle of the new standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of 
promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be 
entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning 
after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. For Raytheon, the standard will be effective 
in the first quarter of 2017. The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, 
in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented, or the modified retrospective method, 
in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application. We have 
not yet selected a transition method. We are currently evaluating the potential changes from this ASU to our future financial 
reporting  and  disclosures.  However,  under  the  new  standard  we  expect  to  continue  using  the  cost-to-cost  percentage  of 
completion method to recognize revenue for most of our long-term contracts.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): 
Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Under the new guidance, management 
will be required to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in 
certain circumstances. The provisions of this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and 
for annual and interim periods thereafter. This ASU is not expected to have an impact on our financial statements or disclosures. 

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2014 are not expected to have a material impact 
on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. 

Note 3: Acquisitions
In pursuing our business strategies, we acquire and make investments in certain businesses that meet strategic and financial 
criteria. 

In  November  2014,  we  acquired  Blackbird  Technologies,  Incorporated,  subsequently  renamed  Raytheon  Blackbird 
Technologies (RBT), for $427 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and exclusive of retention payments. RBT is a leading 
provider of persistent surveillance, secure tactical communications and cybersecurity solutions to the Intelligence Community 
and special operations market and further expands our Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS) offerings. In connection 
with this acquisition, we have preliminarily recorded $301 million of goodwill, all of which was allocated to our IIS business 
segment, primarily related to expected synergies from combining operations and the value of the existing workforce, and 
$126 million of intangible assets, primarily related to contractual relationships, completed technology and trade names with 
a weighted average life of nine years. We expect to complete the purchase price allocation process in the first quarter of 2015 
when we receive final valuation results and complete our review.

In June 2013, we acquired Visual Analytics, Incorporated, subsequently renamed Raytheon Visual Analytics Incorporated.  
RVAI further extends our capabilities to meet the data analytics, data visualization and information sharing needs of our 
customers, and this acquisition is part of our strategy to enhance our Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS) offerings. 
In connection with this acquisition, we have recorded $12 million of goodwill, primarily related to expected synergies from 
combining  operations  and  the  value  of  the  existing  workforce,  and  $3  million  of  intangible  assets,  primarily  related  to 
technology and customer relationships with a weighted-average life of seven years. 

In December 2012, we acquired the Government Solutions business of SafeNet, Inc., subsequently renamed Raytheon Secure 
Information Systems, LLC (RSIS) for approximately $280 million in cash, net of cash acquired and exclusive of retention 
payments. RSIS was integrated into our Space and Airborne Systems (SAS) business, within the Integrated Communications 
Systems product line as the Secure Information Systems product area. RSIS provides advanced encryption capabilities needed 
by government and industry customers to protect classified data. In connection with this transaction we have recorded $195 
million of goodwill related to expected synergies from combining operations and the value of the existing workforce, and 
$75 million of intangible assets, primarily related to technology with a weighted-average life of eight years.  

Additionally, in 2012 we acquired Teligy, Inc., subsequently renamed Raytheon Teligy, Inc., and an Australian company, 
Poseidon Scientific Instruments Pty Ltd., for an aggregate of $22 million in cash, net of cash acquired. Raytheon Teligy, Inc. 
further extends our cybersecurity offerings in wireless communications at Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS). The 
Poseidon Scientific Instruments Pty Ltd. acquisition is part of our strategy to extend and enhance our Integrated Defense 
Systems (IDS) offerings. In connection with these acquisitions we recorded $15 million of goodwill, primarily related to 
expected synergies from combining operations, and $5 million of intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships 
and technology with a weighted-average life of six years.

Pro forma financial information and revenue from the date of acquisition has not been provided for these acquisitions as they 
are not material either individually or in the aggregate.

We funded each of the above acquisitions using cash on hand. The operating results of these businesses have been included 
in our consolidated results as of the respective closing dates of the acquisitions. The purchase price of these businesses has 
been allocated to the estimated fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, with any excess purchase price recorded 
as goodwill.

The total amount of goodwill that is expected to be deductible for tax purposes related to these acquisitions was $489 million 
at December 31, 2014.

Note 4: Discontinued Operations
In pursuing our business strategies we have divested certain non-core businesses, investments and assets when appropriate. 
All residual activity relating to our previously disposed businesses appears in discontinued operations. 

In the second quarter of 2014, we received notice of the resolution of a dispute and related litigation with the U.S. Government 
regarding  pension  segment  closing  adjustments  under  U.S.  Government  Cost Accounting  Standard  413  (CAS  413)  for 
operations we divested over ten years ago. Under CAS 413, a pension plan termination adjustment is required when a contractor 
divests a business, yet retains ownership of the pension plan assets and liabilities of that business. These adjustments can 
result in payments to the U.S. Government for pension plans that are in surplus position or payments to contractors for plans 
that are in a deficit position. As a result, in 2014 we received payment of $81 million and recorded a $52 million gain, net of 
federal tax expense, in discontinued operations, attributable to the affected plans that were in a deficit position at the time of 
divestiture. 

In the divestiture of Flight Options LLC (Flight Options), we agreed to indemnify Flight Options in the event Flight Options 
was assessed and paid excise taxes. In the fourth quarter of 2010, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) appeals proceedings failed 
to resolve the federal excise tax dispute, and as a result, the IRS assessed Flight Options for excise taxes. As a result, in the 
fourth quarter of 2010, we recorded a $39 million charge, net of federal tax benefit, in discontinued operations. In the first 
quarter of 2011, Flight Options paid the assessment. We contested the matter through litigation, and in the fourth quarter of 
2013, we reached a settlement and recorded a $33 million gain, net of federal tax expense, in discontinued operations.

Additionally in the fourth quarter of 2013, we reached a settlement regarding certain tax audits associated with our divestiture 
of Raytheon Aircraft Company. As a result of this settlement, we recorded a $25 million gain, net of federal tax expense, in 
discontinued operations.  

We retained certain assets and liabilities of our previously-disposed businesses. At December 31, 2014 we had $1 million of 
assets. At December 31, 2013 we had $56 million of assets primarily related to a receivable for an excise tax settlement 
associated with Flight Options. At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $15 million and $16 million of liabilities 
primarily related to certain environmental and product liabilities, non-income tax obligations, various contract obligations 
and  aircraft  lease  obligations. We  also  retained  certain  pension  assets  and  obligations,  which  we  include  in  our  pension 
disclosures.

The U.S. Government has title to the assets related to unbilled amounts on contracts that provide progress payments. Unbilled 
amounts are recorded under the percentage-of-completion method and are recoverable from the customer upon shipment of 
the product, presentation of billings or completion of the contract. Included in unbilled at December 31, 2014 was $190 million 
which is expected to be collected outside of one year.

Billed  and  unbilled  contracts  in  process  include  retentions  arising  from  contractual  provisions. At  December 31,  2014, 
retentions were $50 million. We anticipate collecting $5 million of these retentions in 2015 and the balance thereafter.

method based on the pattern of economic benefits we expect to realize from such assets. Amortization expense for other 
intangible assets was $58 million, $60 million and $49 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Computer software and other intangible asset amortization expense is expected to be approximately $127 million in 2015,

In 2001, we formed the TRS joint venture. TRS is a system of systems integrator and provides fully customized solutions 
through the integration of command and control centers, radars, and communication networks. We record our share of the 
TRS income or loss and other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of cost of sales and AOCL, respectively. We 
record losses beyond the carrying amount of the investment only when we guarantee obligations of the investee or commit 
to provide the investee further financial support.

TRS has two major operating subsidiaries, one of which, Thales-Raytheon Systems Co. LLC (TRS LLC), we control and 
consolidate and is a component of our IDS segment, and the other one, Thales-Raytheon Systems Company S.A.S. (TRS 
SAS), which we account for using the equity method through our investment in TRS. Of the $98 million investment in TRS, 
$60 million represents undistributed earnings at December 31, 2014. Our consolidated statements of operations includes net 
income, which represents net income attributable to Raytheon Company and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests 
in subsidiaries. Our primary noncontrolling interest relates to TRS LLC. TRS LLC has a joint venture with TRS SAS called 
Air Command Systems International S.A.S. (ACSI), for which TRS LLC performs work. At December 31, 2014, TRS LLC 
had $18 million of receivables due from ACSI.

In addition, we have entered into certain joint ventures formed specifically to facilitate a teaming arrangement between two 
contractors for the benefit of a customer, generally the U.S. Government, whereby we receive a subcontract from the joint 
venture in the joint venture’s capacity as prime contractor. Accordingly, we record the work we perform for the joint venture 
as an operating activity.

Periodically we enter into other equity method investments that are not related to our core operations. We record the income 
or loss from these investments as a component of other (income) expense, net. We record losses beyond the carrying amount 
of the investment only when we guarantee obligations of the investee or commit to provide the investee further financial 
support.

Note 8: Derivative Financial Instruments
Our  primary  market  exposures  are  to  foreign  exchange  rates  and  interest  rates,  and  we  use  certain  derivative  financial 
instruments to help manage these exposures. We execute these instruments with financial institutions that we judge to be 
credit-worthy, and the majority of our foreign currency forward contracts are denominated in currencies of major industrial 
countries. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The fair value amounts of asset derivatives included in other assets, net and liability derivatives included in other accrued 
expenses in our consolidated balance sheets related to foreign currency forward contracts were as follows at December 31:

million and $78 million at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The foreign currency forward contracts 
at December 31, 2014 have maturities at various dates through 2028 as follows: $551 million in 2015; $224 million in 2016; 
$116 million in 2017; $14 million in 2018; and $21 million thereafter.

Our foreign currency forward contracts contain off-set or netting provisions to mitigate credit risk in the event of counterparty 
default, including payment default and cross default. At both December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of 
our counterparty default exposure was less than $1 million and spread across numerous highly-rated counterparties. 

There were no interest rate swaps outstanding at December 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

In December 2014, we issued $600 million of fixed-rate long-term debt with half maturing in 10 years and the other half 
maturing in 30 years. In conjunction with the debt issuance, we entered into interest rate lock agreements with a total notional 
value of $100 million to manage interest rate risk, which resulted in an increase to AOCL of less than $1 million to be amortized 
over the term of the debt issued.

In December 2012, we issued $1.1 billion of fixed-rate long-term debt with a maturity of 10 years. In conjunction with the 
debt issuance, we entered into interest rate lock agreements with a total notional value of $700 million to manage interest rate 
risk, which resulted in a decrease to AOCL of $3 million to be amortized over the term of the debt issued. As of December 
31, 2012, the above referenced interest rate locks were closed out.

In December 2011, we entered into a $1.4 billion revolving credit facility maturing in 2016. Under the $1.4 billion credit 
facility, we can borrow, issue letters of credit and backstop commercial paper. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at 
various rate options, including LIBOR plus a margin based on our credit ratings. Based on our credit ratings at December 31, 
2014,  borrowings  would  generally  bear  interest  at  LIBOR  plus  79.5  basis  points.  The  credit  facility  is  comprised  of 
commitments from approximately 25 separate highly rated lenders, each committing no more than 10% of the facility. As of 
December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no borrowings outstanding under this credit facility. However, we 
had $2 million of outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, which effectively reduced our 
borrowing capacity under this credit facility by those same amounts. 

Under the $1.4 billion credit facility we must comply with certain covenants, including a ratio of total debt to total capitalization 
of no more than 60%. We were in compliance with the credit facility covenants during 2014 and 2013. Our ratio of total debt 
to total capitalization, as those terms are defined in the credit facility, was 35.9% at December 31, 2014. We are providing 
this ratio as this metric is used by our lenders to monitor our leverage and is also a threshold that limits our ability to utilize 
this facility. 

Total cash paid for interest on notes payable and long-term debt was $209 million, $210 million and $198 million in 2014, 
2013 and 2012, respectively.

At December 31, 2014, we had commitments under agreements to outsource a portion of our information technology function, 
which have minimum annual payments of less than $5 million.

Environmental Matters—We are involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to remediation of various 
environmental sites. Our estimate of the liability of total environmental remediation costs includes the use of a discount rate 
and takes into account that a portion of these costs is eligible for future recovery through the pricing of our products and 
services to the U.S. Government. We consider such recovery probable based on government contracting regulations and our 
long history of receiving reimbursement for such costs, and accordingly have recorded the estimated future recovery of these 
costs from the U.S. Government within contracts in process, net. Our estimates regarding remediation costs to be incurred 
were as follows at December 31:

We also lease certain government-owned properties and generally are not liable for remediation of preexisting environmental 
contamination at these sites. As a result, we generally do not provide for these costs in our consolidated financial statements.  

Due to the complexity of environmental laws and regulations, the varying costs and effectiveness of alternative cleanup 
methods and technologies, the uncertainty of insurance coverage and the unresolved extent of our responsibility, it is difficult 
to determine the ultimate outcome of environmental matters. However, we do not expect any additional liability to have a 
material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

there is no stated value also remain outstanding. The stated values outstanding consisted of the following at December 31:

Included in guarantees and letters of credit described above were $196 million and $244 million, respectively, at December 31, 
2014, and $233 million and $268 million, respectively, at December 31, 2013, related to our joint venture in TRS. We provide 
these guarantees and letters of credit to TRS and other affiliates to assist these entities in obtaining financing on more favorable 
terms, making bids on contracts and performing their contractual obligations. While we expect these entities to satisfy their 
loans and meet their project performance and other contractual obligations, their failure to do so may result in a future obligation 
to us. We periodically evaluate the risk of TRS and other affiliates failing to satisfy their loans and meet their project performance 
and other contractual obligations described above. At December 31, 2014, we believe the risk that TRS and other affiliates 
will not be able to perform or meet their obligations is minimal for the foreseeable future based on their current financial 

96

 
 
 
 
   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

condition. All obligations were current at December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had an 
estimated liability of $9 million and $8 million, respectively, related to these guarantees and letters of credit. The increase in 
letters of credit of $514 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily driven by advance payment bonds of approximately 
$500 million related to certain international programs. 

The TRS joint venture agreement was amended on June 10, 2014 to allow for termination of the joint venture by either party 
every three years based on the scheduled date for the designation of a successor Chief Executive Officer for the joint venture 
which would next occur in 2016. Termination terms and related payments are subject to negotiation between Thales S.A. 
(Thales) and Raytheon, but generally would include a net payment due for undistributed earnings of the joint venture companies 
since inception and a net payment based on the relative fair value of those companies excluding Air Command Systems 
International S.A.S. (ACSI). As a result, any final future termination amounts cannot be determined precisely at this time and 
could be different from those amounts recorded to date. However, if the joint venture were terminated as of December 31, 
2014, we believe the termination payment we would be required to make based on a standard valuation approach would not 
be material. If a termination liability exceeds $50 million, the agreement allows the paying side to elect to make payments, 
inclusive of interest, in equal installments over five years to settle the liability. 

In 1997, we provided a first loss guarantee of $133 million on $1.3 billion of U.S. Export-Import Bank loans (maturing in 
the second quarter of 2015) to the Brazilian Government related to IDS' System for the Vigilance of the Amazon (SIVAM) 
program. As of December 31, 2014, the guarantee amount was $60 million. Loan repayments by the Brazilian Government 
were current at December 31, 2014.

We have entered into industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset agreements, as a condition to obtaining 
orders for our products and services from certain customers in foreign countries. At December 31, 2014, the aggregate amount 
of our offset agreements had an outstanding notional value of approximately $5 billion. These agreements are designed to 
return economic value to the foreign country by requiring us to engage in activities supporting local defense or commercial 
industries, promoting a balance of trade, developing in-country technology capabilities, or addressing other local development 
priorities. Offset agreements may be satisfied through activities that do not require a direct cash payment, including transferring 
technology, providing manufacturing, training and other consulting support to in-country projects, and the purchase by third 
parties (e.g., our vendors) of supplies from in-country vendors. These agreements may also be satisfied through our use of 
cash for activities such as subcontracting with local partners, purchasing supplies from in-country vendors, providing financial 
support for in-country projects, and making investments in local ventures. Such activities may also vary by country depending 
upon requirements as dictated by their governments. We typically do not commit to offset agreements until orders for our 
products or services are definitive. The amounts ultimately applied against our offset agreements are based on negotiations 
with the customers and typically require cash outlays that represent only a fraction of the notional value in the offset agreements. 
Offset programs usually extend over several or more years and may provide for penalties in the event we fail to perform in 
accordance with offset requirements. We have historically not been required to pay any such penalties. 

As a U.S. Government contractor, we are subject to many levels of audit and investigation by the U.S. Government relating 
to our contract performance and compliance with applicable rules and regulations. Agencies that oversee contract performance 
include:  the  Defense  Contract Audit Agency,  the  Defense  Contract  Management Agency,  the  Inspector  General  of  the 
Department of Defense and other departments and agencies, the Government Accountability Office, the Department of Justice 
and Congressional Committees. From time to time, these and other agencies investigate or conduct audits to determine whether 
our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable requirements. Such investigations and audits could result 
in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, the suspension 
of government export licenses or the suspension or debarment from future U.S. Government contracting. U.S. Government 
investigations often take years to complete and many result in no adverse action against us. Our final allowable incurred costs 
for each year are also subject to audit and have from time to time resulted in disputes between us and the U.S. Government 
with litigation resulting at the Court of Federal Claims (COFC) or the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) 
or their related courts of appeals. In addition, the Department of Justice has, from time to time, convened grand juries to 
investigate possible irregularities by us. We also provide products and services to customers outside of the U.S. and those 
sales are subject to local government laws, regulations, and procurement policies and practices. Our compliance with such 
local government regulations or any applicable U.S. Government regulations (e.g., the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulations) may also be investigated or audited. Other than as specifically disclosed herein, 

97

   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

we do not expect these audits, investigations or disputes to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations 
or liquidity, either individually or in the aggregate. 

On July 22, 2010, Raytheon Systems Limited (RSL) was notified by the UK Border Agency (UKBA) that it had been terminated 
for cause on a program. The termination notice included allegations that RSL had failed to perform on certain key milestones 
and other matters in addition to claiming entitlement to recovery of certain losses incurred and previous payments made to 
RSL. We believe that RSL performed well and delivered substantial capabilities to the UKBA under the program, which has 
been operating successfully and providing actionable information since live operations began in May 2009. As a result of the 
termination notice, we adjusted our estimated amounts of revenue and cost under the program in the second quarter of 2010. 
On July 29, 2010, RSL filed a dispute notice on the grounds that the termination by the UKBA was not valid. On August 18, 
2010, the UKBA initiated arbitration proceedings on this issue. On March 22, 2011, the UKBA gave notice that it had presented 
a demand to draw on the approximately $80 million of letters of credit provided by RSL upon the signing of the contract with 
the UKBA in 2007. On March 23, 2011, the UKBA submitted a detailed claim in the arbitration of approximately £350 million 
(approximately $545 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2014) for damages and clawback of previous 
payments, plus interest and arbitration costs, excluding any credit for capability delivered or draw on the letters of credit. The 
UKBA also asserted that additional amounts may be detailed in the claim in the future if estimates of its damages change, 
and for continuing post-termination losses and any re-procurement costs, which have not been quantified. At RSL's request, 
on March 29, 2011, the Arbitration Tribunal issued an interim order restraining the UKBA from drawing down on the letters 
of credit pending a hearing on the issue. Following the hearing, the Tribunal lifted the restraint on the basis that, at this early 
stage of the proceedings, the Tribunal had not heard the evidence needed to decide the merits of whether the contractual 
conditions for a drawdown had been established. The Tribunal also concluded that any decision on the UKBA's right to call 
on the letters of credit is inextricably intertwined with the ultimate decision on the merits in the arbitration. The Tribunal also 
preserved RSL's right to claim damages should RSL later establish that the drawdown was not valid. As a result, on April 6, 
2011, the UKBA drew the $80 million on the letters of credit.

As a result of the Tribunal's decision that the letters of credit are inextricably intertwined with the ultimate decision on the 
merits in the arbitration, we were no longer able to evaluate, independently from the overall claim, the probability of recovery 
of any amounts drawn on the letters of credit. We therefore recorded $80 million of costs related to the UKBA drawdown 
(UKBA LOC Adjustment), which was included in the operating expenses of our Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS) 
segment in the first quarter of 2011.

In June 2011, RSL submitted in the arbitration its defenses to the UKBA claim as well as substantial counterclaims in the 
amount of approximately £500 million (approximately $778 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 
2014) against the UKBA for the collection of receivables, damages and interest. On October 3, 2011, the UKBA filed its reply 
to RSL's counterclaims, and increased its claim amount by approximately £32 million, to include additional civil service and 
post termination costs, and approximately £33 million for interest, raising the gross amount of the UKBA claim for damages 
and clawback of previous payments to approximately £415 million (approximately $646 million based on foreign exchange 
rates as of December 31, 2014). On January 6, 2012, RSL filed its response to the UKBA's reply. RSL is pursuing vigorously 
the collection of all receivables for the program and damages in connection with the wrongful termination and mounted a 
strong  defense  to  the  UKBA's  alleged  claims  for  losses  and  previous  payments.  RSL  has  also  settled  substantially  all 
subcontractor claims, novated all key subcontracts to the UKBA and agreed with the UKBA that RSL's exit obligations to 
operate the previously delivered capability ended in April 2011. Effective April 15, 2011, the UKBA took over responsibility 
for operating the previously delivered capability. In March 2013, the UKBA updated the total net amount of its claims to 
approximately £302 million (approximately $470 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2014) for 
damages, clawback of previous payments and interest, and inclusive of a credit for capability delivered by RSL. Arbitration 
hearings commenced in late 2013 and were completed in 2013. We continue to believe that the receivables and other assets 
remaining under the program for technology and services delivered of approximately $40 million at December 31, 2014 are 
probable of recovery. 

On August 15, 2014, RSL received a decision from the Tribunal. The Tribunal found that the UKBA had unlawfully terminated 
RSL for default and had therefore repudiated the eBorders contract with RSL. Accordingly, the Tribunal denied the UKBA’s 
claims for damages and clawback of previous payments. In addition, the Tribunal found that the UKBA had wrongfully 
retained the $80 million it had drawn on RSL letters of credit in April 2011. The Tribunal awarded RSL approximately £185 
million (approximately $288 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2014) as payment for capabilities 

98

  
   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

delivered, damages and other monetary relief. The Tribunal reserved ruling on costs and on the quantification of interest 
payable to RSL for a later date. 

On September 15, 2014, the UKBA filed a challenge to the award in the London High Court. RSL is vigorously opposing 
such challenge. The payment of amounts awarded to RSL is now pending resolution of the challenge. Due to the inherent 
uncertainties of arbitration and litigation, no amounts regarding this matter were recorded in our financial results for the year 
ended December 31, 2014. 

On June 29, 2012 and July 13, 2012, we received a contracting officer’s final decision (COFD) for 2004 and 2005 incurred 
costs at SAS. The COFDs demand a total payment of $241 million for costs, interest and penalties associated with several 
issues, the largest of which relates to specific research and development and capital projects undertaken by SAS between 
2000 and 2005. To date, no COFDs have been provided for 2000 to 2003 periods at SAS on these issues. The Government 
alleges that the costs incurred on the projects should have been charged directly to U.S. Government contracts rather than 
through indirect rates and that these costs should not be recoverable. We strongly disagree with the Government's position. 
We  have  requested  a  deferment  of  the  payment  and  in  February  and  May  2013,  we  filed  complaints  in  the  U.S.  COFC 
challenging the 2004 and 2005 COFDs, respectively. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot estimate a 
range of potential loss. We believe that we appropriately charged the disputed costs based on government accounting standards 
and applicable precedent and properly disclosed our approach to the Government. We also believe that in many cases, the 
statute of limitations has run on the issues. Based upon the foregoing, we do not expect the results of the COFDs to have a 
material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.  

In addition, various other claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal course of business are pending or 
threatened against, or initiated by, us. We do not expect any of these proceedings to result in any additional liability or gains 
that would materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. In connection with certain of our legal 
matters, we may be entitled to insurance recovery for qualified legal costs. We do not expect any insurance recovery to have 
a material impact on the financial exposure that could result from these matters.

At December 31, 2014, there was $161 million of compensation expense related to nonvested awards not yet recognized 
which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

At December 31, 2014, we had stock-based compensation awards outstanding under a number of stock plans, including our 
2010 Stock Plan. Future grants of awards will be made from the 2010 Stock Plan and not from our prior plans.

Shares issued as a result of stock awards, stock option exercises or conversion of restricted stock unit awards will be funded 
through the issuance of new shares. Of the 41.8 million shares authorized under our stock plans, there were 7.0 million shares 
available for awards under such plans as of December 31, 2014.

Restricted Stock
The 2010 Stock Plan provides for the award of restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights to 
our employees, officers, nonemployee directors and consultants. Awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock 
appreciation rights generally are made by the MDCC and are compensatory in nature. These awards vest over a specified 
period of time as determined by the MDCC, generally four years for employee awards and one year for nonemployee directors. 
Restricted stock awards entitle the recipient to full dividend and voting rights beginning on the date of grant. Non-vested 
shares are restricted as to disposition and subject to forfeiture under certain circumstances. At the date of award each share 
of restricted stock is credited to common stock at par value. The fair value of restricted stock, calculated under the intrinsic 
value method at the date of award, is charged to income as compensation expense generally over the vesting period with a 
corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital.

During 2014, we awarded 0.3 million restricted stock units (RSUs) to retirement-eligible employees. These awards vest over 
a specified period of time as determined by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of our Board of 
Directors (MDCC) and are compensatory in nature. The RSUs continue to vest, but do not accelerate, on the scheduled vesting 
dates into retirement subject to the employee's compliance with certain post-employment covenants. Due to the continued 
vesting provisions of the RSUs into retirement, the Company recognized all of the stock compensation expense associated

with the RSUs in 2014, approximately $25 million pretax, $17 million after-tax, rather than over the vesting period of the 
awards.

Long-term Performance Plan (LTPP)
In 2004, we established the LTPP, which provides for restricted stock unit awards granted from our stock plans to our senior 
leadership. These awards vest at the end of a three-year performance cycle based upon the achievement of specific pre-
established levels of performance. 

The performance goals for the three outstanding performance cycles at December 31, 2014, are independent of each other 
and based on three metrics, as defined in the award agreements: return on invested capital (ROIC), weighted at 50%; total 
shareholder return (TSR) relative to a peer group, weighted at 25%; and cumulative free cash flow from continuing operations 
(CFCF), weighted at 25%.

The ultimate award, which is determined at the end of each of the three-year performance cycles, can range from zero to 
200% of the target award and also includes dividend equivalents, which are not included in the table below. Compensation 
expense for the awards is recognized over the performance period based upon the value determined under the intrinsic value 
method for the CFCF and ROIC portions of the award and the Monte Carlo simulation method for the TSR portion of the 
award using historic volatility. Compensation expense for the CFCF and ROIC portions of the awards will be adjusted based 
upon the expected achievement of those performance goals.

Stock Options
In 2004, we changed the primary form of our broad-based equity compensation from stock options to restricted stock. There 
have been no stock options granted since 2005.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was less than $1 million, $3 million 
and $23 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 
2012 was $3 million, $21 million and $38 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were 2 thousand and 52 thousand outstanding options, respectively, 
all of which were fully vested and exercisable. No options vested during the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 
2013.

Note 13: Pension and Other Employee Benefits
We have pension plans covering the majority of our employees, including certain employees in foreign countries (Pension 
Benefits). Our primary pension obligations relate to our domestic IRS qualified pension plans. We also provide certain health 
care and life insurance benefits to retired employees and to eligible employees upon retirement through other postretirement 
benefit plans (Other Benefits).

The fair value of plan assets for our domestic and foreign Pension Benefits plans was as follows:

We maintain a defined contribution plan that includes a 401(k) plan. Covered employees hired or rehired after January 1, 
2007, are eligible for a Company contribution based on age and service, instead of participating in our pension plans. These 
and other covered employees are eligible to contribute up to a specific percentage of their pay to the 401(k) plan. We match 
the employee’s contribution, generally up to 3% or 4% of the employee’s pay, which is invested in the same way as employee

   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

contributions. Total expense for our contributions was $274 million, $279 million and $272 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, 
respectively.

At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there was $14.9 billion and $14.4 billion invested in our defined contribution 
plan, respectively. At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $1.4 billion of these amounts were invested in our stock 
fund.

We also sponsor nonqualified defined benefit and defined contribution plans to provide benefits in excess of qualified plan 
limits. We have set aside certain assets in a separate trust, which we expect to be used to pay for trust obligations. The fair 
value of marketable securities held in trust, which are considered Level 1 assets under the fair value hierarchy, consisted of 
the following at December 31:

Included in marketable securities held in trust in the table above was $328 million and $304 million at December 31, 2014 
and December 31, 2013, respectively, related to the nonqualified defined contribution plans. The liabilities related to the 
nonqualified defined contribution plans were $327 million and $300 million at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 
respectively.

We also maintain additional contractual pension benefits agreements for certain executive officers. The liability associated 
with such agreements was $39 million and $34 million at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Contributions and Benefit Payments
We  may  make  both  required  and  discretionary  contributions  to  our  pension  plans.  Required  contributions  are  primarily 
determined in accordance with the Pension Protection Act (PPA), which amended the Employee Retirement Income Security 
Act of 1974 (ERISA) rules and are affected by the actual return on plan assets and plan funded status. The funding requirements 
under the PPA require us to fully fund our pension plans over a rolling seven-year period as determined annually based upon 
the funded status at the beginning of the year.  

In July 2012, the Surface Transportation Extension Act, which is also referred to as the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 
21st Century Act (STE Act), was passed by Congress and signed by the President. The STE Act includes a provision for 
temporary pension funding relief due to the low interest rate environment. The provision adjusts the 24-month average high 
quality corporate bond rates used to determine the PPA funded status so that they are within a floor and cap, or “corridor,” 
based on the 25-year average of corporate bond rates. The STE Act gradually phases out this interest rate provision beginning 
in 2013. In August 2014, the pension provisions of the STE Act were extended as part of the Highway and Transportation 
Funding Act of 2014 (HATFA). As a result, the interest rates used to determine PPA funded status will continue to be adjusted 
within  a  “corridor”  and  do  not  begin  to  phase  out  until  2018. The  HATFA  impacts  CAS  expense  as  well  because  CAS 
Harmonization incorporates the PPA interest rate into CAS calculations.

The weighted-average year-end benefit obligation discount rate for our domestic Pension Benefits plans was 4.08% and 5.08% 
at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Our foreign Pension Benefits plan assumptions have been included 
in the Pension Benefits assumptions in the table above.

The long-term ROA represents the average rate of earnings expected over the long term on the assets invested to provide for 
anticipated future benefit payment obligations. The long-term ROA used to calculate net periodic pension cost is set annually 
at the beginning of each year. Given the long-term nature of the ROA assumption, which we believe should not be solely 
reactive to short-term market conditions that may not persist, we expect the long-term ROA to remain unchanged unless there 
are significant changes in our investment strategy, the underlying economic assumptions, or other major factors. To establish 
our long-term ROA assumption, we employ a “building block” approach. As part of our annual process for determining 
whether it is appropriate to change our long-term ROA assumption, we first review the existing long-term ROA assumption 
against a statistically determined reasonable range of outcomes. For purposes of determining the long-term ROA assumption 
for 2014 and prior, we considered this range to be between the 25th and 75th percentile likelihood of achieving a long-term 
return over future years (consistent with Actuarial Standard of Practice No. 27 in effect at the time). Therefore, it is less than 
25 percent likely that the long-term return of the pension plan would fall below or above the 25th and 75th percentiles points, 
respectively (i.e., it is 50 percent likely that the long-term return of the pension plan will be within the 25th and 75th percentile 
range). The building block approach and the reasonable range of outcomes are based upon our asset allocation assumptions 
and long-term capital market assumptions. Such assumptions incorporate the economic outlook for various asset classes over 
short- and long-term periods and also take into consideration other factors, including historical market performance, inflation 
and interest rates. The reasonable range of long-term returns that was used to validate the long-term ROA assumption for the 
calculation of the net periodic benefit cost for 2014, 2013 and 2012, are shown below.

Our long-term domestic ROA of 8.75% fell between the 60th–65th percentile, 65th–70th percentile and 60th–65th percentile 
of the reasonable range for 2014, 2013 and 2012 respectively. The 50th percentile of the reasonable range used to develop 
each of the 2014, 2013 and 2012 long-term ROA was 7.59%, 7.51% and 7.99%, respectively.

Once our long-term ROA has been determined, we review historical averages and patterns of returns to confirm reasonability 
of our long-term ROA assumption compared to past results. While history is not solely indicative of future market expectations, 
it does provide insight into general historical trends and long-term asset performance. In validating the 2014 long-term ROA 
assumption, we reviewed our pension plan asset performance since 1986. Our average annual actual rate of return since 1986 
of  9.19%,  determined  on  an  arithmetic  basis,  exceeds  our  estimated  8.75%  assumed  return. Arithmetic  annual  averages 
represent the simple average returns over independent annual periods, whereas geometric returns reflect the compound average 
returns of dependent annual periods. The average annual actual return on a geometric basis for the same period was 8.50%. 
In addition, the actual annual returns have exceeded our long-term ROA assumption of 8.75% in six of the past ten years. 
Because our 2014 long-term ROA assumption of 8.75% for our domestic pension plans was within the reasonable range and 
our historical trends and averages did not indicate a trend or pattern of returns significantly above or below our existing 
assumption, we determined our long-term ROA assumption for our domestic pension plans in 2014 would remain at 8.75%, 
consistent with our 2013 assumption.

Our domestic pension plans’ actual rates of return were approximately 6%, 15% and 12% for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 
The difference between the actual rate of return and our long-term ROA assumption is included in deferred losses. 

The long-term ROA assumptions for foreign Pension Benefits plans are based on the asset allocations and the economic 
environment prevailing in the locations where the Pension Benefits plans reside. Foreign pension assets do not make up a 
significant portion of the total assets for all of our Pension Benefits plans.

For purposes of determining pension expense under GAAP, a “corridor” approach may be elected and applied in the recognition 
of asset and liability gains or losses which limits expense recognition to the net outstanding gains and losses in excess of the 
greater of 10 percent of the projected benefit obligation or the calculated "market-related value" of assets. We do not use a 
“corridor” approach in the calculation of FAS expense.  

The effect of a 1% increase or decrease in the assumed health care trend rate for each future year for the aggregate of service 
cost and interest cost is less than $1 million and for the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation is a $7 million increase 
or decrease.

Plan Assets
Substantially all our domestic Pension Benefits Plan (Plan) assets, which consist of investments in cash and cash equivalents, 
publicly traded U.S. and international equity securities, private equity funds, private real estate funds, fixed-income securities, 
commingled funds and other investments such as insurance contracts and derivatives, are held in a master trust, which was 
established for the investment of assets of our Company-sponsored retirement plans. The assets of the master trust are overseen 
by our Investment Committee comprised of members of senior management drawn from appropriate diversified levels of the 
executive management team.

The Investment Committee is responsible for setting the policy that provides the framework for management of the Plan 
assets. In accordance with its responsibilities and charter, the Investment Committee meets on a regular basis to review the 
performance of the Plan assets and compliance with the investment policy. The policy sets forth an investment structure for 
managing Plan assets, including setting the asset allocation ranges, which are expected to provide an appropriate level of 
overall diversification and total investment return over the long term while maintaining sufficient liquidity to pay the benefits 
of the Plan. Asset allocation ranges are set to produce the highest return on investment taking into account investment risks 
that are prudent and reasonable given prevailing market conditions. In developing the asset allocation ranges, third-party asset 
allocation studies are periodically performed that consider the current and expected positions of the plan assets and funded 
status. Based on these studies and other appropriate information, the Investment Committee establishes asset allocation ranges 
taking into account acceptable risk targets and associated returns.

109

 
 
   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The investment policy asset allocation ranges for the Plan, as set by the Investment Committee, for the year ended December 31, 
2014 were as follows:

Asset Category
Global equity (combined U.S. and international equity)

U.S. equities
International equities

Fixed-income securities
Cash and cash equivalents
Private equity and private real estate
Other (including absolute return funds)

40%–60%
25%–40%
15%–25%
25%–40%
1%–10%
3%–20%
5%–20%

The Investment Committee appoints the investment fiduciary, who is responsible for making investment decisions within the 
framework of the Investment Policy, setting the long-term target allocation within the investment policy asset allocation ranges 
and for supervising the internal pension investment team. The pension investment team is comprised of experienced financial 
managers, who are all employees of the Company. The investment fiduciary reports back to the Investment Committee. During 
times of unusual market conditions, the investment fiduciary may seek authorization from the Investment Committee to change 
the investing allocation ranges to reasonably limit excessive volatility or other undesirable consequences.

Taking  into  account  the  asset  allocation  ranges,  the  investment  fiduciary  determines  the  specific  allocation of  the  Plan’s 
investments within various asset classes. The Plan utilizes select investment strategies which are executed through separate 
account or fund structures with external investment managers who demonstrate experience and expertise in the appropriate 
asset classes and styles. The selection of investment managers is done with careful evaluation of all aspects of performance 
and risk, due diligence of internal operations and controls, reputation, systems evaluation and a review of investment managers' 
policies and processes. The Plan also utilizes funds that track an index and are highly liquid. Investment performance is 
monitored frequently against appropriate benchmarks and tracked to compliance guidelines with the assistance of third-party 
performance evaluation tools and metrics.

Consistent with the objective of maximizing return while minimizing risk, multiple investment strategies are employed to 
diversify  risk  such  that  no  single  investment  or  manager  holding  presents  a  significant  exposure  to  the  total  investment 
portfolio. Plan assets are invested in numerous diversified strategies with the intent to minimize correlations. This allows for 
diversification of returns. Plan assets can be invested in funds that track an index and are designed to achieve diversification 
across the related indices. The Plan had $4 billion invested in such funds across four indices as of December 31, 2014. Other 
than funds that track an index, no individual investment strategy represented more than 5% of the Plan as of December 31, 
2014.  Further,  within  each  separate  account  strategy,  guidelines  are  established  which  set  forth  the  list  of  authorized 
investments, the typical portfolio characteristics and diversification required by limiting the amount that can be invested by 
sector, country and issuer. 

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Investments in equity securities (common and preferred) are valued at the last 
reported sales price when an active market exists. Investments in fixed-income securities are generally valued using methods 
based upon market transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally 
recognized by institutional traders. Investments in private equity funds and private real estate funds are estimated at fair market 
value  which  primarily  utilizes  net  asset  values  reported  by  the  investment  manager  or  fund  administrator.  We  review 
independently-appraised  values,  audited  financial  statements  and  additional  pricing  information  to  evaluate  the  net  asset 
values. For the limited group of securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which 
the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value, additional information is obtained from the investment 
manager and evaluated internally to determine whether any adjustments are required to reflect fair value.

(1)  U.S. and International equities primarily include investments across the spectrum of large, medium and small market capitalization stocks.
(2) 

Investment grade bonds are fixed-income securities with a rating equivalent to a Standard & Poor's rating of BBB- or better. Non-investment grade 
bonds have a rating equivalent to a Standard & Poor's rating of BB+ or less.

(3)  Core fixed-income securities are funds that invest primarily in intermediate-term high quality domestic bonds issued by various governmental or private 

sector entities.

(4)  Global multi-sector fixed-income investments are funds that invest globally among several sectors including governments, investment grade corporate 

bonds, high yield corporate bonds and emerging market bonds.

(5)  Fixed-income hedge funds can employ numerous strategies and seek to hedge some of the risk inherent in their investments by using a variety of 

methods, including short selling and derivative instruments.

(6)  Securitized fixed-income securities pool together various cash flow producing financial assets that are structured in a way that can achieve desired 
targeted credit, maturity or other characteristics and are typically collateralized by residential mortgages, commercial mortgages and other assets.
(7)  Convertible fixed-income securities are funds that invest in bonds that can be converted into a predetermined amount of the issuer's equity at certain 

times during the life of the bond, usually at the discretion of the bondholder.

(8)  Cash and cash equivalents are invested in highly liquid money market funds. Included in cash and cash equivalents is excess cash in investment manager 
accounts. This cash is available for immediate use and is used to fund daily operations and execute the investment policy. This amount is not considered 
to be part of the cash target allocation set forth in the investment policy.

(9)  Absolute return funds seek returns that are less volatile than long only funds under all market conditions.
(10)  Relative value fund strategies seek to capture arbitrage opportunities created by price discrepancies between related equity, debt and derivative financial 

instruments while minimizing or neutralizing market risk.

(11)  Event  driven  fund  strategies  seek  to  capture  return  opportunities  created  by  special  situations  and  corporate  events  tied  to  corporate  merger  and 

acquisition activity, restructuring, bankruptcy or financial distress.

of generating higher risk-adjusted returns than traditional investments in equity.

(13)  Macro fund strategies invest in futures, broad market indices and other financial instruments and seek to either generate positive returns regardless of 

market conditions or take advantage of global capital flows.

(14)  Multi-strategy funds allocate investments tactically across all asset classes globally based upon relative valuations to achieve maximum returns.
(15)  Private equity funds are predominantly invested in the U.S. and Western Europe.
(16)  As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, this category included $55 million and $106 million of net receivables and payables which consisted 

primarily of pending trades, interest, dividends and other payable expenses.

The Plan limits the use of derivatives through direct or separate account investments such that the derivatives used are liquid 
and able to be readily valued in the market. Derivative usage in separate account structures is limited to hedging purposes or 
to gain market exposure in a non-speculative manner. The fair market value of the Plan’s derivatives through direct or separate 
account investments was approximately $(7) million and $20 million as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 
respectively.

In addition, assets are held in trust for non-U.S. Pension Benefits plans, primarily in the U.K. and Canada, which are governed 
locally in accordance with specific jurisdictional requirements. These assets are overseen by local management in Canada 
and by trustees with a combination of members representing plan participants and local management in the U.K. Investments 
in the non-U.S. Pension Benefits plans consist primarily of fixed-income securities and equity securities and had a fair market 
value of $868 million and $806 million at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. These investments are 
valued using quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) as well as significant observable inputs (Level 2). Investments with 
significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are immaterial in the non-U.S. Pension Benefits plans.

The fair market value of assets related to our Other Benefits was $418 million and $431 million as of December 31, 2014 and 
December 31,  2013,  respectively.  These  assets  included  $185  million  and  $189  million  at  December 31,  2014  and 
December 31, 2013, respectively, that were invested in the master trust described above and are therefore invested in the same 
assets described above. The remaining investments are held within Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association (VEBA) 
trusts. The assets of the VEBA trusts are also overseen by the Investment Committee and managed by the same investment 
fiduciary that manages the master trust’s investments. These assets are generally invested in mutual funds, and are valued 
primarily using quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) as well as significant observable inputs (Level 2). There were no 
Level 3 investments in the VEBA trusts at December 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

In December 2014, Congress enacted legislation that reinstated the Research & Development (R&D) tax credit that was 
retroactive to the beginning of 2014. In the fourth quarter of 2014, we recorded a full year benefit of approximately $30 
million related to the 2014 R&D tax credit.

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. We have participated in the IRS Compliance 
Assurance Process (CAP) program since 2011. We continue to participate in the CAP program for the 2013 and 2014 tax 
years. In the first quarter of 2014 the IRS completed the examination for the 2012 tax year, which completed all examinations 
through 2012. We are also under audit by multiple state and foreign tax authorities.

During 2013, the IRS completed its examination of our 2009 and 2012 tax years and we received final approval from the U.S. 
Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation of a refund claim related to the 2011 tax year. As a result of closing the federal 
audit examinations, our unrecognized tax benefits decreased by approximately $70 million, inclusive of interest, the majority 
of which did not impact our income from continuing operations.

During 2012, we received final approval from the IRS and the U.S. Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation of an IRS 
Appeals Division settlement for the 2006-2008 IRS examination cycle (2012 Tax Settlement). As a result, our unrecognized 
tax benefits decreased by approximately $24 million, inclusive of interest, all of which increased our income from continuing
operations.

At  December 31,  2014,  foreign  earnings  of  approximately  $384  million  have  been  retained  by  foreign  subsidiaries  for 
reinvestment. In the first quarter of 2014, a foreign subsidiary authorized and completed a transaction which resulted in a 
taxable dividend of approximately $115 million. The transaction does not affect our indefinite reinvestment assertion because 
it generated a net tax benefit of approximately $80 million. No provision has been made for deferred taxes on undistributed 
earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries as these earnings have been indefinitely invested or are expected to be remitted substantially 
free of additional tax. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability on these undistributed earnings is 
not practicable because of the complexity of laws and regulations, the varying tax treatment of alternative repatriation scenarios, 
and the variation due to multiple potential assumptions relating to the timing of any future repatriation.

We believe that our income tax reserves are adequate; however, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater or

the underlying matters. In the ordinary course of business, we may take new positions that could increase or decrease our 
unrecognized tax benefits in future periods.

The balance of unrecognized tax benefits, exclusive of interest, was $104 million and $118 million at December 31, 2014 
and December 31, 2013, respectively, the majority of which would affect earnings if recognized. We accrue interest and 
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. At December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and December 31, 
2012, we had $6 million, $5 million and $17 million of interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits, which, net of 
the federal tax benefit, was approximately $4 million, $3 million and $11 million, respectively.

A rollforward of our unrecognized tax benefits was as follows: 

(In millions)
Unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of year
Additions based on current year tax positions
Additions based on prior year tax positions
Reductions based on prior year tax positions
Settlements based on prior year tax positions
Unrecognized tax benefits, end of year

It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months our unrecognized tax benefits, exclusive of interest, may decrease by 
up to $100 million, as a result of resolving various issues in the currently open cycles, including the R&D tax credit. We 
expect that the majority of the decrease would affect the effective tax rate, if recognized.

We generally account for our state income tax expense as a deferred contract cost, as we can generally recover this expense 
through the pricing of our products and services to the U.S. Government. We include this deferred amount in contracts in 
process, net until allocated to our contracts, which generally occurs upon payment or when otherwise agreed as allocable with 
the U.S. Government. Net state income tax expense allocated to our contracts was $41 million, $42 million and $78 million 
in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We include state income tax expense allocated to our contracts in administrative and 
selling expenses.

Deferred income taxes consisted of the following at December 31:  

(In millions)
Current deferred tax assets (liabilities)

Accrued employee compensation and benefits

Other accrued expenses and reserves

Contracts in process and inventories

Deferred income taxes-current

Noncurrent deferred tax assets (liabilities)

As of December 31, 2014, we had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $392 million, of which $370 
million was generated in the U.K. We believe that we will have sufficient taxable income to realize this deferred tax asset, as 
any net operating loss generated in the U.K. may be carried forward indefinitely.

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

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

In January 2014, a foreign subsidiary authorized and completed a transaction which resulted in a taxable dividend of approximately $115 million and 
generated a net tax benefit of approximately $80 million, which is reflected in our first quarter of 2014 results.

(4)  During the first quarter of 2013, we recorded a $25 million benefit for the 2012 research and development (R&D) tax credit. In January 2013, Congress 
approved legislation that included the extension of the R&D tax credit. The legislation retroactively reinstated the R&D tax credit for 2012 and extended 
it through December 31, 2013. As a result, we recorded the 2012 benefit in the first quarter of 2013.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management has conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer 
and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as 
defined in Rules 13a–15(e) and 15d–15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2014.

Conclusion of Evaluation—Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded 
that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2014 were effective. 

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls—In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, 
management recognizes that any control, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, 
assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of 
controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and 
instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. 

Evaluation of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting—Management’s Report on Internal Control Over 
Financial Reporting is set forth in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm—The effectiveness of our internal control over financial 
reporting  as  of  December 31,  2014  has  been  audited  by  PricewaterhouseCoopers  LLP,  an  independent  registered  public 
accounting firm, as stated in their report which is set forth in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting—There were no changes in our internal control over financial 
reporting during the fourth quarter of 2014 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal 
control over financial reporting.

We define Adjusted EPS as diluted EPS from continuing operations attributable to Raytheon Company common 
stockholders excluding the after-tax EPS impact of the FAS/CAS Adjustment and, from time to time, certain other previously 
disclosed items as set forth above in the reconciliation. Amounts may not recalculate due to rounding.

Adjusted Income and Adjusted EPS are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and may not  
be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner.  Adjusted Income and Adjusted EPS  
should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance  
with GAAP. We are providing these measures because management uses them for the purposes of evaluating 
and forecasting the Company’s financial performance and believes that they provide additional insights into  
the Company’s underlying business performance. We also believe that they allow investors to benefit from  
being able to assess our operating performance in the context of how our principal customer, the U.S. 
Government, allows us to recover pension and postretirement benefits (PRB) costs and to better compare  
our operating performance to others in the industry on that same basis.
