Dear Fellow Shareholders,
Two years ago, we made the strategic decision to focus our company on top-line growth, with the 
expectation that aligning our financial resources and world-class people would lay the foundation  
for a return to growth after years of reduced U.S. government defense budgets. Our most optimistic 
projections were that growth would return in 2016. Today, I am very pleased to report that we 
exceeded those goals and that your company returned to growth in 2015  — a full year ahead of plan.

This success did not happen by accident. It required the dedication and hard work of all of our 61,000 
employees — each contributing his or her expertise to the company’s strategy, goals and objectives. 
Their successful execution of our growth strategy and increased demand from our global customers 
generated solid operating performance in 2015.

Our overall results for 2015 bookings, sales, earnings  
per share and cash flow all met or exceeded our 
expectations. Our 2015 net sales of $23.2 billion were up 2 
percent compared to 2014. For the full-year 2015, our EPS 
from continuing operations was $6.75, operating income 
was $3.0 billion, and operating cash flow from continuing 
operations was $2.3 billion, after a $200 million pretax 
discretionary pension plan contribution.

Strong customer demand was reflected in our 2015 bookings 
of $25.2 billion, a 5 percent increase over 2014, which 
positions us well going into 2016. Furthermore, total backlog 
at the end of 2015 was $34.7 billion, an increase of $1.1 
billion over 2014.

Additionally, our international strategy continued to be  
a key driver of our results. In 2015, 31 percent of our net 
sales were international, marking a new company record. 
International business comprised 34 percent of our total 
2015 bookings and 43 percent of our total backlog at the 
end of 2015. 

“Your company returned to 
growth in 2015 — a full year 
ahead of plan.”

Balanced Capital Deployment 
Strategy

This strong fundamental performance provided a 
foundation for continuing our balanced capital deployment 
strategy. Our overall objective is always to create 
shareholder value, and for the full-year 2015, the company 
repurchased 9 million shares of common stock for $1.0 
billion. We also raised our dividend by 10.7 percent in 
2015, marking the 11th consecutive annual increase.  
These moves and our performance contributed to 
Raytheon’s stock price reaching several all-time highs  
in 2015, and our stock outperformed the S&P 500 index 
for the fifth consecutive year.

A strong financial position also provided us with the 
flexibility to support future growth and meet customer 
needs through strategic acquisitions. We made three 
acquisitions during the year to strengthen our capabilities 
in cyber markets. Most notably, we acquired from Vista 
Equity Partners its premier commercial cybersecurity 
business, Websense, and entered into a joint venture with 
Vista Equity Partners, combining Websense with Raytheon 
Cyber Products to form our new ForcepointTM business.

Global Demand from Across  
Our Portfolio

As I travel around the world, I am hearing from many 
customers about their need to invest in a strong defense  
to deter evolving threats. The capabilities they are seeking, 
and that we are partnering with them to deliver, are well 
aligned with our core strengths. So more than ever before, 
demand from our global customers is broad-based  
and diversified.

MISSILE DEFENSE: Raytheon continued to demonstrate 
our industry leadership across all elements of missile 
defense. The Patriot Air and Missile Defense System 
repeatedly proved its effectiveness in 2015 by intercepting 
more than 10 ballistic missiles during combat operations. 
Demand for Patriot’s capabilities continued to grow as 
evidenced by bookings of $2.0 billion for the Kingdom of 
Saudi Arabia and $769 million for the Republic of Korea.  
In a landmark test, Standard Missile-6 demonstrated 
multimission capabilities as it intercepted a ballistic  
missile target, and the program transitioned to full-rate 
production. Our land-based Standard Missile-3 supported 
by the AN/TPY-2 radar achieved its first intercept in space, 
and we began flight testing the SM-3® Block IIA in a year 
when SM-3 contract awards totaled more than $1 billion.

“Our performance contributed to 
Raytheon’s stock price reaching 
several all-time highs in 2015, 
and our stock outperformed the 
S&P 500 index for the fifth 
consecutive year.”

C5I™ CAPABILITIES: We are leveraging our deep experience 
in command, control, communications, computers, cyber and 
intelligence systems to combine sensors and advanced 
networks that create entirely new ways of perceiving the 
world. During the year, we grew our leadership position in 
Advanced Extremely High Frequency satellite communications, 
with an award for low-rate initial production of terminals for 
the U.S. Air Force’s Family of Advanced Beyond Line of Sight

Our international  
sales achieved 
A NEW COMPANY 
RECORD in 2015 

(FAB-T) program, which positions us to deploy this critical 
capability on multiple airborne platforms. The Air Force 
also awarded us an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity 
contract with a $393 million ceiling value to continue 
mission support for its Distributed Common Ground 
System, the service’s primary intelligence, surveillance and 
reconnaissance analysis tool. We continued our strong 
performance as the prime mission-systems equipment 
integrator for the DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer 
program, especially during DDG 1000’s Alpha Trials, a 
week-long, at-sea exercise that demonstrated key ship 
capabilities. Internationally, we booked $163 million to 
continue development on the Air Defense Operations 
Center for Qatar.

CYBERSECURITY: We made significant progress  
in 2015 on our strategy to bring advanced cybersecurity 
capabilities to commercial and government customers 
around the world. We increased our presence in the 
commercial cyber market with the formation of Forcepoint, 
establishing a strong competitive position via the breadth 
and depth of Forcepoint’s product offerings. In the 
government realm, our strong international cyber business 
grew with the securing of two new countries as customers 
for our cybersecurity solutions to protect their networks 
against advanced cyber threats.

ELECTRONIC WARFARE: Raytheon has long been a 
leader in electronic warfare, and in 2015 we extended  
our leadership by focusing on the convergence of EW, 
cyber and signals intelligence. We are building a next-
generation EW business with highly successful flight  
tests of the Next Generation Jammer program and a  
series of airborne cyber capability flight demonstrations. 
Our EW Planning and Management Tool successfully 
completed U.S. Army Interoperability Certification and 
Operational Testing, which will lead to initial unit fielding. 
We also successfully completed operational tests with the 
Air Force for the Miniature Air Launched Decoy-Jammer 
(MALD®-J), satisfying all requirements to attain Initial 
Operational Capability.

PRECISION WEAPONS: Raytheon is enabling customer 
missions with an unprecedented level of accuracy by 
employing evolved seekers, laser guidance and advanced 
digital signal processing. We continued modernizing 
Tomahawk as evidenced by the U.S. Navy demonstrating  
the ability of Tomahawk to strike a moving target at sea.  
The U.S. Air Force completed operational testing of the 
Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile’s latest variant, 
and we booked $637 million to produce the AMRAAM® 
missile for domestic and international customers. The  
U.S. Navy approved full-rate production for the AIM-9X® 
Block II Sidewinder™ air-to-air missile, and the Paveway™  
missile continued its role as a preferred air-to-ground  
weapon with new bookings exceeding $1 billion.

TRAINING AND MISSION SUPPORT: With decades of 
experience and cutting-edge technologies, we are delivering 
training and full lifecycle mission support solutions 
worldwide. In 2015, we secured a competitive win with a 
$700 million ceiling value to support the mission-critical 
command and control systems at the North American 
Aerospace Defense Command’s Cheyenne Mountain 
Complex. NASA awarded us a contract extension with a 
potential value of $102 million for work at its Johnson 
Space Center to support facilities that are critical to human 
spaceflight, such as operations and engineering services at 
the Neutral Buoyancy Lab and Space Vehicle Mockup 
Facility. We also booked $963 million on the Warfighter 
FOCUS contract that provides high-consequence training 
services and support to the U.S. Army, other military 
branches, and allied and coalition forces around the world. 

Investing in Next-Generation 
Capabilities

We clearly have the right solutions for today. To ensure  
that we have the right solutions for tomorrow, we  
have increased our investments in Raytheon’s business, 
technologies and capabilities. Our internal research and 
development reached 3 percent of the company’s sales  
in 2015. We used this funding to invest in next-generation 
technologies and capabilities to increase our 
competitiveness and drive Raytheon’s long-term growth.

Our customers are looking to us for next-generation 
capabilities to counter increasingly sophisticated threats 
that are developing on the horizon. We have heard them 

“We are continuously focused on 
lowering our costs, enhancing our 
competitiveness and improving 
affordability for our customers.”

and are innovating to create game-changing technologies 
of the future — ranging from hypersonics and cybersecurity 
to high-energy lasers. For example, the Defense Advanced 
Research Projects Agency awarded Raytheon a $20 million 
contract to continue development work in the area of 
hypersonics. Our extensive experience in developing 
advanced guided systems uniquely positions us to solve the 
many technical challenges associated with hypersonic flight. 
We also continue to establish ourselves as a technology 
leader in high-energy lasers with an award on the Missile 
Defense Laser Development program, which is a precursor 
to a demonstration program.

Improving Affordability and 
Competitiveness

In this environment, we are also continuously focused on 
lowering our costs, enhancing our competitiveness and 
improving affordability for our customers. A few examples  
of our many efforts and initiatives include executing our 
strategic sourcing strategy to reduce costs in our supply 
chain; leveraging our centralized Global Business Services 
organization to more efficiently provide back-office support 
to Raytheon’s businesses; and reducing our footprint, taking 
out a gross total of 1.9 million square feet in 2015. In 
addition, we continue to look at all areas of our company  
to reduce complexity and further improve productivity. 

In 2015, we raised  
our dividend for the 
11TH YEAR in a row

Guided by Our Vision, Strategy  
and Values

Another way we strengthen our competitiveness is by 
uniting our 61,000 employees worldwide as one team, 
aligned around our Raytheon vision, strategy and values. 

Our values build on each other. They begin with trust, 
which is fundamental and is reinforced by our ethical 
culture of integrity and a top score from Transparency 
International-UK in 2015. Trust leads to respect and is 
demonstrated when we embrace diversity and inclusion; 
as a result, Raytheon was named a “Best Place to 
Work” by the Human Rights Campaign® for the 11th 
year in a row. Respect enables collaboration, and we 
are benefiting from this dynamic after transforming our 
employee resource groups to better align with business 
priorities and harness the power of diverse ideas and 
experiences. Collaboration inspires innovation, 
where we challenge the status quo in all areas, not just 
in our technologies. At the end of the day, we need to 
have accountability, honoring commitments to our 
customers, our communities and each other.

Taken together, we are one global team creating trusted, 
innovative solutions to make the world a safer place.  
This vision has been widely embraced by the Raytheon 
team since we introduced it in March 2015. It captures 
the essence of what we do and why we do it. And when  
I share it with the customers I meet, it resonates 
strongly with them too. 

Confident in Our Future 

Today, we turn our attention to the future of the company: 
setting new goals and objectives to maximize shareholder 
value while ensuring customer success. We do this from a 
solid position. Our company is performing very well, our 
growth strategy is working, and we are confident in our 
future. Internationally, the global environment continues to 
drive demand for our solutions, and domestically, increased 
budgets are paving the way for growth from our U.S. 
defense customers for the first time since 2009.

Now that we have returned to growth, our focus will be  
on accelerating that growth and expanding our margins. 

I want to thank each and every member of the Raytheon 
team for a great year and for our enviable position. Their 
outstanding efforts, commitment and alignment yielded 
great results. They are driven by purpose, rising  
to the challenge of solving our customers’ toughest 
problems and helping shape a better future. Thank you  
for all that you do for our company, our customers and  
our shareholders.

Respectfully,

Thomas A. Kennedy

Chairman and 
Chief Executive Officer 
March 2016

“Our values build on each other. They begin with trust, 
which is fundamental and is reinforced by our ethical 
culture of integrity.”

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General
Raytheon Company, together with its subsidiaries, is a technology and innovation leader specializing in defense and other 
government markets throughout the world. The terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “Raytheon” and the “Company” mean Raytheon 
Company  and  its  subsidiaries,  unless  the  context  indicates  another  meaning.  We  develop  technologically  advanced  and 
integrated  products,  services  and  solutions  in  our  core  markets:  sensing;  effects;  command,  control,  communications, 
computers, cyber and intelligence (C5I™); mission support; and cybersecurity. We serve both domestic and international 
customers, primarily as a prime contractor or subcontractor on a broad portfolio of defense and related programs for government 
customers.

We were founded in 1922 and have grown internally and through a number of acquisitions. We are incorporated in the state 
of Delaware. Our principal executive offices are located at 870 Winter Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451.

In May 2015, we created Raytheon|Websense, a new cybersecurity joint venture company (with Vista Equity Partners), through 
a series of transactions by which we acquired Websense, Inc. (Websense) from Vista Equity Partners and combined it with 
Raytheon Cyber Products (RCP), formerly part of our Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS) segment, and then sold a 
minority interest in the combined company to Vista Equity Partners. Raytheon|Websense was later renamed ForcepointTM. In 
connection with these transactions, we reorganized our operating and reporting structure with Forcepoint as our fifth reporting 
segment.

In this section, we describe our business, including our business segments, product lines, customers, operations and other 
considerations.

Business Segments
We operate in five business segments:
Integrated Defense Systems;
– 
– 
Intelligence, Information and Services;
–  Missile Systems;
–  Space and Airborne Systems; and
–  Forcepoint.

The following is a description of each of our business segments. As part of the description, we include a discussion of some 
of the segment’s notable initiatives and achievements in 2015, such as certain key contract awards, new product introductions 
and acquisitions. For a discussion of the financial performance of our business segments and other financial information, see 
pages 48–65 of this Form 10-K.

Integrated Defense Systems (IDS)—IDS, headquartered in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, is a leader in integrated air and missile 
defense; large land- and sea-based radar solutions; command, control, communications, computers, cyber and intelligence 
(C5I™)  solutions;  and  naval  combat  and  ship  electronic  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) and the U.S. Intelligence 
Community, as well as more than 50 international customers which represent approximately half of IDS’s business. 

In 2015, IDS booked more than $2.0 billion for a contract to provide advanced Patriot air and missile defense capability for 
the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and a contract for $769 million from the Republic of Korea to upgrade its Patriot Air and Missile 
Defense (A&MD) systems to the latest configuration. IDS also received contract awards for Patriot A&MD systems for the 
U.S. Army and for undersea sensor systems for the U.S. Navy. 

Effective January 1, 2016, IDS has the following principal product lines: Mission Systems and Sensors (MSS); Integrated Air 
and Missile Defense; and Seapower Capability Systems. This structure reflects the reorganization of IDS's former Command, 
Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) product line on January 1, 2016 to more efficiently leverage its 
capabilities within Raytheon. The reorganization integrated the C5I™ and Thales-Raytheon Systems LLC (TRS LLC) product 

1

 
 
areas from IDS's former C4I product line into the new IDS MSS product line and moved certain air traffic systems, border 
and critical infrastructure protection and highway tolling programs from IDS's former C4I product line into Raytheon's IIS 
business  segment.  See  "Intelligence,  Information  and  Services"  below  for  more  information  on  Raytheon's  IIS  business 
segment.

Mission Systems and Sensors (MSS)—MSS provides integrated whole-life air and missile defense systems. MSS produces 
systems and solutions, including Upgraded Early Warning Radars (UEWR), the Army Navy/Transportable Radar Surveillance-
Model 2 (AN/TPY-2) and other land-based surveillance and search radars, which provide threat detection, precision tracking, 
discrimination,  and  classification  of  ballistic  missile  threats.  In  addition,  MSS  provides  C5I™  solutions  through  the

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 
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 could 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 

8

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.  We  also  classify  time-and-materials  (T&M)  contracts  as  cost 
reimbursement contracts as they are typically used to cover the contract cost plus a set amount of fee.

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 contracts, the contractor's profit may also be adjusted up or down depending upon whether specified cost objectives are 
met. Under FFP and FPI 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 contracts. In the event we experience a greater proportion of FPI 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, but 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. 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 
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.

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” of this Form 10-K for a discussion of the risks associated with international sales.

Includes foreign military sales through the U.S. government of $2,814 million, $2,962 million and $3,062 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, 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, cybersecurity, and other products and services permitted under the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). 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, the EAR 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 $1.3 billion, $1.1 
billion and $1.2 billion in 2015, 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 16: 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, and international consultants who are paid a fixed retainer fee. Our Forcepoint joint venture also sells 
certain products and services, both domestically and internationally, primarily through a network of distributors and value-
added resellers.

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 under the EAR 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.

Classified Sales
Classified  sales  include  U.S.  government  sales  on  programs  designated  as  classified  by  the  U.S.  government,  as  well  as 
international sales on programs for which the customer, end user or end product is prohibited from being publicly disclosed. 
Total classified sales were 16% in 2015 and 15% in 2014 and 2013.

Approximately $17.2 billion of the December 31, 2015 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 2015 we expended $706 million on research and development efforts compared to $500 million and 
$465 million in 2014 and 2013, 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  availability  of  materials  and  major  components  and  the  performance  of  our  suppliers  and 
subcontractors.  Some  products  require  relatively  scarce  raw  materials.  We  generally  have  not  experienced  significant 
difficulties in procuring the necessary raw materials, components and other supplies for our products. 

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. 

In recent years, our revenues in the second half of the year have generally exceeded revenues in the first half. Some of the 
factors that can affect revenue recognition between accounting periods include the timing of new program awards (including 
international  contract  awards  and  approvals),  the  availability  of  U.S.  government  funding,  product  deliveries  (which  are 
dependent on availability of materials) and customer acceptance. We expect this trend to continue in 2016.

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 also compete in the commercial cybersecurity market, which is characterized by rapid changes in technology, products, 
customer specifications and industry standards. We compete worldwide with a number of U.S. and international companies 

11

 
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 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.

Intellectual Property
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 effect on our business.

Employment
As of December 31, 2015, we had approximately 61,000 employees. Approximately 7% 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 U.S. 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. 

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 
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 additional 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 

12

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 11: 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 bookings and backlog; our pension expense and funding, including our FAS/CAS pension adjustments for 2016 and future 
years and other pension contributions; the impact of new accounting pronouncements; our expected tax payments for 2016; 
our  unrecognized  tax  benefits;  the  impact  and  outcome  of  audits  and  legal  and  administrative  proceedings,  claims, 
investigations, commitments and contingencies; the impact of acquisitions; and the impact of changes in fair value of our 
reporting units; as well as information regarding domestic and international defense spending, budgets and business practices. 
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 2015, U.S. government sales, excluding foreign military sales, accounted for approximately 68% 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 U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), as well as a broad range of programs with 
the U.S. Intelligence Community and other departments and agencies. The funding of our programs is subject to the overall 
U.S. government policies, 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.

In recent years, U.S. government appropriations have been affected by larger U.S. government budgetary issues and related 
legislation. In 2011, Congress enacted the Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA), which established specific limits on annual 
appropriations for fiscal years (FY) 2012–2021. Pursuant to the BCA, which was amended by the American Taxpayer Relief 
Act of 2012, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (BBA), the FY 2013 DoD budget was 
reduced by 7.8% as compared to FY 2012, and the DoD budget remained essentially flat for FY 2014 and 2015. While the 
BBA provides for stability and modest growth to the DoD budget through FY 2017, future spending levels are uncertain. In 
addition, in recent years the U.S. government has been unable to complete its budget process before the end of its fiscal year, 
resulting in both a governmental shut-down and Continuing Resolutions to extend sufficient funds only for U.S. government 
agencies to continue operating. Additionally, while the BBA eliminates the debt ceiling through FY 2017, the national debt 
has recently threatened to reach the statutory debt ceiling, and such an event in future years could result in the U.S. government 
defaulting on its debts. 

As a result, defense spending levels are difficult to predict beyond the near-term due to numerous factors, including the external 
threat environment, future governmental priorities and the state of governmental finances. 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.

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 could also be affected by development 
delays, cost overruns or product failures in connection with these contracts.

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. 

U.S. government contracts generally 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. 

The funding of U.S. government programs is subject to congressional appropriations, which are made on a fiscal year basis 
even for multi-year programs. Consequently, programs are often only partially funded initially and may not continue to be 
funded in future years. In addition, regular appropriation bills may be delayed, which may result in revenue collection delays 
or delays in our contract performance due to lack of funds to procure related products and services. Under certain circumstances, 
we may use our own funds 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, the U.S. government may terminate our contract or 
subcontract under such program.

14

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 U.S. government contracts are typically either fixed-priced contracts or cost reimbursable contracts. Fixed-price contracts 
represent approximately 65% of our backlog, and are either firm fixed-price (FFP) contracts or fixed-price incentive (FPI) 
contracts. Under FFP contracts, we receive a fixed price irrespective of the actual costs we incur and we therefore carry the 
burden of any cost overruns. Under FPI contracts, we carry the burden of cost overruns in excess of a negotiated cost ceiling, 
and share with the U.S. government any costs incurred in excess of a negotiated cost target up to the cost ceiling amount. 
Under cost reimbursable contracts, we are reimbursed for allowable costs and paid a fixed or performance-based fee, but 
generally are not reimbursed for costs not allowable under the contract or applicable regulations or unauthorized costs above 
any cost ceiling amount. Due to the nature of our work under many of our U.S. government contracts discussed above, we 
may experience unforeseen technological difficulties and cost overruns. If we are unable to control costs or if our initial cost 
estimates are incorrect, our profitability could be negatively affected, particularly under fixed-price development contracts. 
Some of our U.S. government 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. Our contracts also require us to comply with extensive 
and evolving procurement rules and regulations, which are discussed in more detail below. 

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 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 
customer funded and 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 

15

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.

Competition within our markets may reduce our revenues and market share and limit our future market opportunities.

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 increased 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 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 us. 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 in our core markets, 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.

In addition, we formed Forcepoint in May 2015, our cybersecurity joint venture discussed in more detail below, to accelerate 
our  growth  in  the  commercial  cybersecurity  market.  However,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  Forcepoint  will  meet  our 
expectations. Additionally, the commercial cybersecurity market is characterized by rapid changes in technology, products, 
customer  specifications  and  industry  standards,  and  Forcepoint  may  not  be  able  to  successfully  and  timely  develop  new 
products and services or adapt its current offerings to such changes in order to compete effectively. In addition, Forcepoint's 
revenues are dependent on third-party sales channels as well as its internal sales force, and there can be no assurance that 
these sales efforts will be successful. If Forcepoint is unable to compete successfully in the commercial cybersecurity market, 
it may divert financial and management resources that would otherwise be used to benefit our other operations.

As a U.S. government contractor, we are subject to extensive procurement rules and regulations. Changes in such rules, 
regulations and business practice could negatively affect current programs and potential awards, and our business could 
be negatively affected if we fail to comply with any procurement rules and regulations.

U.S. government contractors must comply with specific procurement regulations and other requirements including export-
import  control,  security,  contract  pricing  and  cost,  contract  termination  and  adjustment,  audit  and  product  integrity 
requirements. These requirements impact our performance and compliance costs. In addition, the U.S. government has and 
may  continue  to  implement  initiatives  focused  on  efficiencies,  affordability  and  cost  growth  and  other  changes  to  its 
procurement practices which may negatively affect 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. 

For example, in April 2015 the DoD initiated Better Buying Power 3.0 (BBP), which reiterates the DoD’s previously-announced 
preferences  with  respect  to  contractual  payment  and  cost  reimbursement  terms,  and  contractor  independent  research  and 
development efforts. BBP maintains a preference for incentive-based contracts that set cost and profit targets and require 
contractors to share cost overruns and underruns with the U.S. government. BBP also indicates a preference for progress 
payments, which are usually lower than performance-based payments and would thus affect the timing of our cash flows.

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, forfeiture of profits, and the assessment 
of  civil  and  criminal  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, 

16

 
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 penalties or sanctions resulting from any failure to comply with applicable requirements, including contract termination, 
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.

Issues  with  component  availability,  subcontractor  performance  or  key  supplier  performance  may  affect  our  ability  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 limit the 
types  of  materials  we  use  and  may,  in  effect,  limit  the  suppliers  and  subcontractors  we  may  utilize. These  procurement 
requirements include restrictions on the use of certain chemicals in the European Union and 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, which may increase our dependency  on certain 
suppliers. In some instances, we are dependent on sole-source suppliers. If certain component materials are not available or 
if any of these suppliers or subcontractors otherwise 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 be susceptible to changes in global economic conditions that 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 conduct diligence and provide disclosure regarding the use of certain minerals, known as conflict minerals, 
which may impact our procurement practices and increase our costs.

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 2015, our sales to customers outside the U.S. (including foreign military 
sales through the U.S. government) accounted for 31% 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 International Traffic 
in Arms Regulations (ITAR), the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (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 or 
maintaining 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. 

17

 
 
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 export-import 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  that  may  not  be 
available to U.S. companies. In addition, foreign companies may be subject to fewer restrictions on technology transfer than 
U.S. companies.

Our international contracts may include industrial cooperation agreements requiring specific local 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 and 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 could result in liability 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 teaming with international subcontractors, partners and suppliers in connection with international 
programs. As a result of these factors, we could experience financial penalties and 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.

Our business could be negatively impacted by cyber attacks and other security breaches and other disruptions. 

As part of our business, we face certain security threats, including threats to our information technology infrastructure, attempts 
to gain access to our proprietary, sensitive or classified information, threats to physical security, including our facilities and 
personnel, and threats from terrorism or similar acts. We also face the potential for business disruptions associated with natural 
disasters. Cybersecurity threats in particular are persistent, evolve quickly and include, but are not limited to, computer viruses, 
attempts to access information, denial of service attacks and other electronic security breaches. 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 have in the past and will in the future continue to be the subject of cybersecurity threats. In addition, 
our customers, suppliers, subcontractors and other third parties with whom we do business generally face similar security 
threats, and in some cases we must rely on the safeguards put in place by these parties to protect against security threats. We 
believe we have implemented appropriate measures and controls and have invested in significant resources to appropriately 
identify and monitor these threats and mitigate potential risks, including risks involving our customers and suppliers. However, 
there can be no assurance that any such actions will be sufficient to prevent cybersecurity breaches, disruptions to mission 
critical systems, the unauthorized release of sensitive information or corruption of data, or harm to facilities or personnel.

In addition, as a provider of products and services to government and commercial customers, including through Forcepoint, 
our products and services may be the targets of cyber attacks that attempt to sabotage or otherwise disable them, or our 
cybersecurity and other products and services ultimately may not be able to effectively detect, prevent, or protect against or 
otherwise mitigate losses from all cyber attacks.

The impact of these security threats and other disruptions, including cyber attacks and other security breaches, is difficult to 
predict. Furthermore, our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all related costs. These threats and other events 
could disrupt our operations, or the operations of our customers, suppliers, subcontractors and other third parties, could require 
significant management attention and resources, could result in the loss of business, regulatory actions and potential liability, 
and could negatively impact our reputation among our customers and the public, any one of which could have a negative 
impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. 

18

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. 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. Competition for personnel is intense and we may not be successful in attracting or retaining qualified 
personnel. Furthermore, a significant percentage of our current workforce is nearing retirement. To the extent that we lose 
experienced personnel, it is critical that we develop other employees, hire new qualified personnel, and successfully manage 
the transfer of critical knowledge. 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.

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 Defense 
Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), the Inspectors 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 our operations 
are being conducted in accordance with applicable requirements. The DCAA and DCMA also review the adequacy of, and 
our compliance with, our internal control systems and policies, including our accounting, purchasing, property, estimating, 
earned value management and material management accounting systems. Our final allowable incurred costs for each year are 
subject to audit and have from time to time resulted in disputes between us and the U.S. government. The DoJ has, from time 
to time, convened grand juries to investigate possible irregularities in our costs. Any costs found to be improperly allocated 
to a specific contract will not be reimbursed or must be refunded if already reimbursed. In addition, we could suffer serious 
reputational harm if allegations of impropriety were made against us.

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, management's 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 a 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 management's 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  detailed  discussion  of  how  our  financial  statements  can  be  affected  by  contract  accounting  policies,  see  “Critical 
Accounting Estimates” 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 plan 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 (PRB) 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 PRB plans' expense and funded status, and our cash contributions to such plans, could negatively change which would 

19

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  PRB  plans'  expense  and  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 detailed discussion of how our financial statements can be affected by pension and PRB plan accounting policies, see 
“Critical Accounting Estimates” within Item 7 of this Form 10-K. 

If we fail to manage our acquisitions, investments, divestitures, joint ventures and other transactions successfully, these 
activities could adversely affect our future financial results. 

In  pursuing  our  business  strategies,  we  continually  review,  evaluate  and  consider  potential  investments,  acquisitions, 
divestitures, and joint venture, teaming and other collaborative arrangements. We undertake to identify 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, these transactions involve certain other risks and uncertainties, including the risks involved with 
entering new markets, the difficulty in integrating newly-acquired businesses and managing or monitoring other collaborative 
business arrangements, challenges and failures in achieving strategic objectives and other expected benefits which may result 
in certain liabilities to us for guarantees and other commitments, unidentified issues not discovered in Raytheon’s due diligence, 
the diversion of our attention and resources from our operations and other initiatives, the potential impairment of acquired 
assets, the performance of underlying products, capabilities or technologies, and the potential loss of key employees and 
customers of acquired businesses.

In May 2015, we created Raytheon|Websense, a new cybersecurity joint venture company (with Vista Equity Partners), through 
a series of transactions by which we acquired Websense, Inc. (Websense) from Vista Equity Partners and combined it with 
Raytheon Cyber Products (RCP), formerly part of our Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS) segment, and then sold a 
minority  interest  in  the  combined  company  to Vista  Equity  Partners.  Raytheon|Websense  was  later  renamed  Forcepoint. 
Forcepoint offers products and services worldwide to enterprise customers, small- and medium-sized businesses, public sector 
entities and internet service providers primarily through a network of distributors and value-added resellers. Raytheon owns 
80.3% of the joint venture and Vista Equity Partners owns 19.7%. The joint venture agreement provides Vista Equity Partners 
with certain rights to exit the joint venture, including the right to require Raytheon to purchase all of Vista Equity Partners’ 
interest in Forcepoint and the right to require Forcepoint to pursue an initial public offering, as well as certain other rights 
with respect to the management of Forcepoint's business. Therefore, in addition to the other risks described above, the exercise 
of any such rights by Vista Equity Partners could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, 
or the management of our business as a whole. For a more detailed discussion regarding Forcepoint, see “Forcepoint” beginning 
on page 6 within Item 1 of this Form 10-K.

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,  2015,  we  had  goodwill  and  other  intangible  assets  of  approximately  $15.7  billion,  net  of  accumulated 
amortization, which represented approximately 54% 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 and intangible assets based on the purchase price and the value of the 
acquired assets. We may subsequently experience unforeseen events that could 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 impairments 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  detailed  discussion  of  how  our  financial  statements  can  be  affected  by  goodwill  accounting  policies,  see  “Critical 
Accounting Estimates” within Item 7 of this Form 10-K. 

20

 
 
 
 
  
The outcome of litigation in which we have been named, or may in the future be 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. 
In addition, we may be subject to future litigation matters, 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.

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

Approximately  4,000  of  our  employees  are  unionized,  which  represents  approximately  7%  of  our  employee  base  at 
December 31, 2015. 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 
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 in the past 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 
lead to 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 U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) on the “Excluded Parties List” maintained by the Government Services Administration. The listing 

21

 
 
 
 
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, air traffic management systems, and cybersecurity products and services. 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 Department of Homeland Security (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. 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 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 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

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, 2015 we owned, leased and/or utilized (through operating agreements) approximately 27.5 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 such total, approximately 45% was owned (or held under a long-term ground lease with 
ownership of the improvements), approximately 49% was leased, and approximately 6% was Government owned. In addition 
to the 27.5 million square feet of floor space described above, approximately 142,241 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 and 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 
with applicable rules and regulations. Agencies that oversee contract performance include: the Defense Contract Audit Agency 
(DCAA); the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA); the Inspectors General of the U.S. Department of Defense 
(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 
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 Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and International 
Traffic in Arms Regulations (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.

23

 
 
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.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

OVERVIEW

Introduction
Raytheon Company develops technologically advanced and integrated products, services and solutions in our core markets: 
sensing;  effects;  command,  control,  communications,  computers,  cyber  and  intelligence  (C5I™);  mission  support;  and 
cybersecurity. We serve both domestic and international customers, primarily as a prime contractor or subcontractor on a broad 
portfolio of defense and related programs for government customers. 

In May 2015, we created Raytheon|Websense, a new cybersecurity joint venture company (with Vista Equity Partners), through 
a series of transactions by which we acquired Websense, Inc. (Websense) from Vista Equity Partners and combined it with 
Raytheon Cyber Products (RCP), formerly part of our Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS) segment, and then sold a 
minority interest in the combined company to Vista Equity Partners. Raytheon|Websense was later renamed Forcepoint. In 
connection with these transactions, we reorganized our operating and reporting structure with Forcepoint as our fifth reporting 
segment. We now operate in five business segments: Integrated Defense Systems (IDS); Intelligence, Information and Services 
(IIS); Missile Systems (MS); Space and Airborne Systems (SAS); and Forcepoint. For a more detailed description of our 
segments, see “Business Segments” within Item 1 of this Form 10-K.

The amounts, discussion and presentation of our business segments, including Corporate and eliminations for intersegment 
activity, set forth in this Form 10-K, reflect the Forcepoint transaction. The Forcepoint results reflect RCP results for all periods 
and  Websense  results  after  the  acquisition  date  of  May  29,  2015.  None  of  the  changes  impact  our  previously  reported 
consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations or statements of cash flows.

In addition, effective January 1, 2016, we reorganized certain product areas of our IDS and IIS businesses to more efficiently 
leverage our capabilities, but because this change occurred after December 31, 2015, the amounts, discussion and presentation 
of our financial results for purposes of this Form 10-K do not reflect this change. Rather, our structure as of December 31, 
2015 is reflected. 

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

Business Environment

Domestic Considerations
U.S. government sales, excluding foreign military sales, accounted for 68% of our total net sales in 2015. Our principal U.S. 
government customer is the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).

29

 
 
 
 
On November 2, 2015, the President signed the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (BBA) into law. The BBA sets fiscal year (FY) 
2016 and 2017 DoD spending caps that exceed recent DoD budget funding levels. These spending caps are recognized by 
both the Administration and Congress and are therefore expected to lead to a stable budget process for those two years. In 
addition, while the spending cap increase does not meet the DoD's original FY 2016 base budget funding request or its planned 
FY  2017  funding  level,  it  should  provide  for  modest  growth  in  the  DoD's  modernization  budgets  for  FY  2016  and  FY 
2017. Modernization funding, which consists of procurement and research and development, is of particular importance to 
defense contractors. Despite the expected stability in FY 2016 and 2017, defense budget funding levels, which are subject to 
budget and appropriation decisions and processes, are difficult to predict beyond the near-term.

In addition to the DoD budget considerations discussed above, future domestic defense spending levels are impacted by a 
number of additional factors, including external threats to our national security, funding for on-going operations overseas, the 
priorities of the Administration and the Congress, overall health of the U.S. and world economies, and the state of governmental 
finances. However, we also continue to expect the DoD to continue to prioritize and protect the key capabilities required to 
execute its strategy, including Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), cybersecurity, missile defense, electronic 
warfare, undersea 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.

We currently are involved in over 15,000 contracts, with no single contract accounting for more than 5% of our total net sales 
in  2015. 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 2015, our sales to customers outside of the U.S. accounted for 31% 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 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 Europe, while economic challenges 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. 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 DoD 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.

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 in our key mission areas of missile 
defense;  electronic  warfare;  command,  control,  communications,  computers,  cyber,  intelligence,  surveillance  and 
reconnaissance (C5ISR); precision weapons; cybersecurity; and training. Domestically, 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 

30

 
 
export and releasability. We also continue to make investments to support our strategy, including through acquisitions and 
research and development.

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  international  business  in  existing  and  new 
international markets. Such investment provides additional resources and capabilities, both in-country and in the U.S., that 
strengthen  the  company’s  position  to  pursue  both  existing  and  new  opportunities. 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  challenges  of  changing  budget  priorities,  overall  spending 
pressures and the timing of contract awards.

Cybersecurity—We continue to both enhance our capabilities in the cyber market and leverage the capabilities of the 16 cyber 
acquisitions made since 2007. In 2015, we successfully executed on our strategy to extend our significant cyber capabilities 
into the commercial markets by creating Forcepoint, a new commercial cybersecurity joint venture company (with Vista Equity 
Partners) that combines Websense and RCP, formerly part of our IIS business. Forcepoint is leveraging its unique combination 
of capabilities to deliver “defense-grade” cybersecurity solutions to commercial markets worldwide. For more information 
on the Forcepoint joint venture transaction, see Item 1 "Business," and “Note 5: Forcepoint Joint Venture” within Item 8 of 
this Form 10-K. 

We also provide cyber capabilities to government customers, including the Intelligence Community, the DoD, other defense 
and civil global customers, as well as embed information assurance capabilities in our products and our information technology 
infrastructure. We believe the commercial and government cyber markets both represent strong growth markets for Raytheon. 
We expect to continue to seek opportunities to leverage our extensive cyber capabilities and to grow and scale our cyber 
businesses.

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 defense businesses and our broad programs and pursuits. 
It consists of enterprisewide 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 and improve efficiencies in our production facilities, and we 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 $185 million of income, $286 million of income and $249 million 
of expense in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

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.

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 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.

We also focus on earnings per share (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.

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.

32

 
 
 
Revenue Recognition
We determine the appropriate revenue recognition method 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 toward 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 U.S. GAAP. We combine 
closely related contracts when all the applicable criteria under U.S. 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 U.S. 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 a method to measure progress toward 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 toward completion of the contract. Under the 
cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress toward 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 companywide 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  toward  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 in realizing related 
opportunities.  Likewise,  these  adjustments  may  result  in  a  decrease  in  operating  income  if  we  determine  we  will  not  be 

33

 
successful in mitigating these risks or in 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 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 U.S. 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 (PRB) 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 PRB costs differ from the Financial 
Accounting Standards (FAS) requirements under U.S. 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 PRB plans in 2013–2015. This resulted in $185 million of income, $286 million of 
income and $249 million of expense in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, reflected in our consolidated results of operations 
as the difference between CAS and FAS requirements for our pension and PRB plans in those years.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits (PRB) Costs
We have pension plans covering the majority of our employees, including certain employees in foreign countries. We must 
calculate our pension and PRB costs under both U.S. government CAS requirements and FAS requirements under U.S. GAAP, 
and both calculations require judgment. U.S. GAAP outlines the methodology used to determine pension and PRB 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 and PRB 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. 

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 Adjustment, 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 U.S. GAAP. Due to the foregoing differences in requirements 

34

 
 
 
and calculation methodologies, our FAS pension expense or income is not indicative of the funding requirements or amount 
of government recovery.

On December 27, 2011, the CAS Pension Harmonization Rule (CAS Harmonization) was published in the Federal Register. 
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. CAS Harmonization increases pension costs under CAS and the related FAS/CAS 
Pension Adjustment results in an increase to income in 2014 and beyond, primarily due to the liability measurement transition 
period  of  0%  in  2013,  25%  in  2014,  50%  in  2015,  75%  in  2016  and  100%  in  2017  included  in  the  rule.  Because  CAS 
Harmonization is a mandatory change in cost accounting for 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 (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 phased out this 
interest rate provision beginning in 2013. Subsequent to the STE Act, the Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 
(HATFA) and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (BBA) further extended this interest rate provision until 2020, at which time 
the provision is gradually phased out. The STE, HATFA and BBA impact CAS expense as well because CAS Harmonization 
incorporates the PPA interest rate into CAS calculations. 

The BBA also increases the insurance premiums that we are required to pay the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation 
(PBGC). However, we do not expect the increases to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or 
liquidity.

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 U.S. 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 the Actuarial Standard of Practice No. 
27, Selection of Economic Assumptions for Measuring Pension Obligations (ASOP 27) in effect at the time. Therefore, it is 
less than 25% 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% likely that the long-term return of the pension plan will be within the 25th and 75th percentile 
range). In September 2013, the Actuarial Standards Board issued a revision to 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, effective for our 2015 and future years assumptions, we 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. The building block approach and the reasonable range of outcomes are based 

35

 
 
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 2015, 2014 and 2013, are shown below.

the 2014 and 2013 long-term ROA was 7.59% and 7.51%, respectively. 

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–60th percentile of the reasonable range for 2015 with the 50th percentile at 7.37%. In addition, when we updated 
our target asset allocation and our long-term ROA assumption changed from 8.75% to 8.0%, we assessed what our historical 
asset performance may have been since 1986 using the updated target allocation and concluded the average return would 
likely have been equal to or greater than 8.0% for the time period from 1986 through 2014.

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.

The reasonable range of long-term returns used to validate our assumption for the calculation of the net periodic benefit cost 
for 2016 is between 6.09% at the 35th percentile and 8.16% at the 65th percentile. The long-term ROA assumption of 8.0%, 
which is used in the calculation of net periodic benefit cost for 2016, falls between the 60th–65th percentile of the reasonable 
range results with the 50th percentile at 7.12%.

Once our long-term ROA has been determined to be within the 35th to 65th percentile range of results, 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. Our average annual actual rate of return from 1986 to 2015 of 8.88%, determined on an arithmetic 
basis, exceeds our estimated 8.0% 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 8.20%. In addition, the actual annual returns 
have exceeded our long-term ROA assumption of 8.0% in five of the past ten years. 

36

Our domestic pension plans’ actual rates of return were approximately 0%, 6% and 15% for 2015, 2014 and 2013, 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, 2015 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%

5%–22%

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 PRB obligations. The discount rate assumption is determined by using a 
theoretical bond portfolio model consisting of bonds rated AA or better by Moody’s Investors Service (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, 2015 is 4.47%, which represents a weighted-average discount 
rate across our plans, compared to the December 31, 2014 discount rate of 4.08%.

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 2015 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 2015, 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 could impact CAS pension expense in future periods depending upon the interest rate and regulatory 
environments.

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 $46 million for 2015. In addition to the impact on our 2015 FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment, 
a portion of the $13 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, 2015 would drive a change in estimated costs in EACs and related contract profit rates 
as of December 31, 2014). 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% of our 
backlog in fixed-price contracts, and they were on average 50% complete, with our actual new award profile for 2015, a 25 
basis point change in our long-term ROA assumption at January 1, 2015 would drive approximately $2 million of aggregate 
total EAC adjustments at December 31, 2014. In addition, our fixed-price contracts in backlog as of December 31, 2014 would 
have a lower profit rate in 2015, resulting in approximately $1 million impact as costs are incurred in that year on those 
contracts. The total impact on 2014 would be approximately $2 million driven by the aggregate EAC adjustments and the 
total impact on 2015 would be approximately $34 million (the FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment and the lower profit rate impact 
in 2015 on fixed-price contracts in backlog at December 31, 2014). 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.

The impact of changing our long-term ROA for our domestic pension plans from 8.75% to 8.0% in 2015 increased our FAS 
expense by $140 million, increased our CAS expense by $40 million and decreased our FAS/CAS pension adjustment to 
income by $100 million in 2015. This CAS impact to 2015 varies from the theoretical impact to 2015 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% 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.

Our Pension and PRB 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, private real estate funds, and other 
commingled funds are estimated at fair market value which primarily utilizes net asset values reported by the investment 
manager or fund administrator. We review additional valuation and pricing information from the fund managers, including 
audited financial statements, to evaluate the net asset values. 

The change in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) related to pension and PRB plans was as follows:

$

The balance in AOCL related to our pension and PRB 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 PRB 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, 2015. The $0.6 billion in 2015 losses arising 
during the period were driven primarily by actual returns, which were lower than our expected return and had an impact of 
approximately $1.6 billion, as well as other actuarial factors, partially offset by the increase in the discount rate from 4.08% 
at December 31, 2014 to 4.47% at December 31, 2015, which had an impact of approximately $1.2 billion. 

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 2014 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. Since December, 31, 2014, our pension obligations reflect a change in the underlying mortality assumption, 
which reflects improvements in life expectancy consistent with the Society of Actuaries 2014 study. In addition, these pension 
obligations reflect an increase in the expected rate of future longevity improvement taking into consideration data from multiple 
sources including the Society of Actuaries 2014 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.

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. 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 

39

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 2015 annual impairment 
analysis, as the fair values of each of our reporting units exceeded their respective net book values, including goodwill. 

In May 2015, we completed a series of transactions with Vista Equity Partners by which we acquired Websense and combined 
it with RCP, formerly part of our IIS segment, and then sold a minority interest in the combined company to Vista Equity 
Partners to establish Forcepoint, a new cybersecurity joint venture company (with Vista Equity Partners). In connection with 
these transactions, we reorganized our operating and reporting structure with Forcepoint as our fifth reporting segment. Our 
Forcepoint reporting unit, the majority of which was acquired in the second quarter of 2015, had a fair value in excess of net 
book value, including goodwill, of greater than 10%. All other factors equal, a 10% decrease in expected future cash flows 
for our Forcepoint reporting unit would result in an excess of fair value over net book value of approximately 3%. Alternatively, 
all other factors being equal, a 100 basis points increase in the discount rate used in the calculation of the fair value of our 
Forcepoint reporting unit would also result in an excess of fair value over net book value of approximately 3%. Based on our 
2015 impairment analysis of the other reporting units, the reporting unit that was closest to impairment had a fair value in 
excess of net book value, including goodwill, of approximately 85%. All other factors 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 70%. 
Alternatively, all other factors being equal, a 100 basis points 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 55%. If we are required 
to record an impairment charge in the future, it could materially affect our results of operations.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2015-17, 
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires all deferred income tax assets and 
liabilities  to  be  classified  as  noncurrent  on  the  balance  sheet. The  new  standard  is  effective  for  annual  reporting  periods 
beginning  after  December  15,  2016  with  early  adoption  permitted.  We  have  elected  to  early  adopt  this  requirement 
retrospectively in the current period. We reclassified $165 million of net current deferred income tax liabilities from current 
to noncurrent at December 31, 2014. 

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value 
per Share (or Its Equivalent), which, for all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share 
practical expedient, removes the requirement to make certain disclosures and to categorize them within the fair value hierarchy. 
The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. 
We have elected to early adopt this requirement retrospectively in the current period.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation 
of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance 
sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The new standard is effective for annual reporting 
periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We 
have elected to early adopt this requirement retrospectively in the current period. We reclassified $5 million of debt issuance 
costs from other assets, net, to a reduction of long-term debt at December 31, 2014. 

In May 2014, the FASB issued 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. 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. 
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. 
On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved the deferral of the new standard's effective date by one year. The new standard now 

40

would be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The FASB will permit companies to adopt 
the new standard early, but not before the original effective date of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 
2016. 

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2015 are not expected to have a material impact 
on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Total Net Sales - 2015 vs. 2014—The increase in total net sales of $421 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due 
to higher external net sales of $328 million at IDS, $244 million at MS and $159 million at Forcepoint including the unfavorable 
impact of the deferred revenue adjustment recorded at Corporate, partially offset by lower external net sales of $212 million 
at SAS and $98 million at IIS. The increase in external net sales at IDS was primarily due to higher net sales from an international 
Patriot program awarded in the second quarter of 2015 driven by program activity and the recognition of previously deferred 
precontract costs, higher net sales from an international Patriot program awarded in the fourth quarter of 2014, higher net 
sales on the Air Warfare Destroyer (AWD) program driven by additional scope awarded in the fourth quarter of 2014 and 
higher net change in EAC adjustments as discussed below in Segment Results, and higher net sales from an international air 
and missile defense system program awarded in the fourth quarter of 2013 due to scheduled production phases. The higher 
net sales at IDS were partially offset by lower net sales from the scheduled completion of certain production phases on various 
Patriot programs for international customers and from the scheduled completion of certain production phases on our missile 
defense radar programs. The increase in external net sales at MS was primarily due to higher net sales on the Paveway™ 
program principally driven by international requirements, higher net sales on the Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wireless-
guided (TOW®) missile program primarily due to planned increases in production, and higher net sales on certain air and 
missile defense programs primarily due to a contract awarded in the third quarter of 2015, partially offset by lower net sales 
on the Standard Missile-3 (SM-3®) program primarily due to the planned transition from development to production. The 
increase in external net sales at Forcepoint was primarily due to higher sales of $160 million resulting from the acquisition 
of Websense in the second quarter of 2015, including the unfavorable impact of the deferred revenue adjustment recorded at 
Corporate.  Included  in  the  change  in  external  net  sales  at  SAS  was  lower  net  sales  primarily  due  to  reduced  schedule 
requirements on international tactical radar systems programs, lower intersegment sales driven by lower volume on contracts 
supporting radar programs, and higher net sales on classified programs. The remaining change in total net sales at SAS was 
spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver. The decrease in external net sales at IIS 
was primarily due to 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 a classified program for an international customer, 
partially offset by higher net sales on cybersecurity and special missions programs excluding a classified program for an 
international customer, primarily driven by the fourth quarter of 2014 acquisition of Raytheon Blackbird Technologies (RBT). 

Products and Services Net Sales - 2015 vs. 2014—The increase in products net sales of $317 million in 2015 compared to 
2014 was primarily due to higher external products net sales of $262 million at MS, $186 million at IDS, and $161 million 
at Forcepoint, partially offset by lower external products net sales of $169 million at IIS and $123 million at SAS. The increase 

41

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
in external products net sales at MS and IDS was primarily due to the programs discussed above. The increase in external 
products net sales at Forcepoint was principally driven by the acquisition of Websense. The decrease in external products net 
sales at IIS was primarily due to lower net sales on a classified program for an international customer. The decrease in external 
products net sales at SAS was primarily due to the international tactical radar systems programs discussed above. The increase 
in services net sales of $104 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to higher external services net sales of $142 
million at IDS, driven principally by higher services net sales on radar sustainment programs for the Missile Defense Agency 
(MDA) and new service program awards, partially offset by lower services net sales on various other programs.

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 
on  land  warfare  systems  programs  driven  principally  by  planned  declines  in  production  due  to  the  U.S. Army  budget 
environment.

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 service net sales at IIS of $118 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.

As described above in Industry Considerations, U.S. defense spending levels are difficult to predict due to numerous factors, 
including U.S. government budget appropriation decisions, geopolitical events and macroeconomic conditions.

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 - 2015 vs. 2014—The increase in total cost of sales of $279 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily 
due to higher external cost of sales of $378 million at IDS and $114 million at MS and $101 million of higher expense related 
to the FAS/CAS Adjustment as described below in Segment Results beginning on page 48, partially offset by lower external 
cost of sales of $255 million at IIS and $181 million at SAS. The increases in external cost of sales at IDS and MS were driven 
principally by the activity on the programs described above in Total Net Sales. The decrease in external cost of sales at IIS 
was driven principally by a $181 million impact from the eBorders settlement in 2015. In March 2015, Raytheon Systems 
Limited (RSL) reached a settlement with the UK Home Office concluding the parties' dispute regarding the UK Home Office's 
July 2010 termination of RSL's eBorders contract within our IIS segment. The settlement included a cash payment from the 
UK Home Office to RSL of £150 million (approximately $226 million based on foreign exchange rates as of the settlement 
date)  for  the  resolution  of  all  claims  and  counterclaims  of  both  parties  related  to  the  matter. After  certain  expenses  and 
derecognition of the outstanding receivables, IIS recorded $181 million in operating income through a reduction in cost of 
sales. The decrease in external cost of sales at SAS was primarily due to the programs described above in Total Net Sales.

Products and Services Cost of Sales - 2015 vs. 2014—The increase in products cost of sales of $187 million in 2015 compared 
to 2014 was primarily due to higher external products cost of sales of $268 million at IDS and $127 million at MS, $83 million 
of higher expense related to the FAS/CAS Adjustment as described below in Segment Results beginning on page 48 and $52 
million of higher expense related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets associated with Forcepoint as described 
below in Segment Results beginning on page 48. The increases in external products cost of sales at IDS and MS were driven 
principally by the activity on the programs described above in Total Net Sales. The increases in products cost of sales were 
partially offset by a decrease in external products cost of sales of $302 million at IIS and $109 million at SAS. The decrease 
in external products cost of sales at IIS was principally driven by a $181 million impact from the eBorders settlement described 
above. The decrease in external products cost of sales at SAS was primarily due to the programs described above in Total Net 
Sales. The increase in services cost of sales of $92 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to higher external 
services cost of sales of $110 million at IDS, driven principally by the programs described above in Total Net Sales.

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 48. 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 $82 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.

The increase in administrative and selling expenses of $102 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily driven by a $90 
million increase in selling and marketing expenses at Forcepoint principally driven by the acquisition of Websense. Included 
in administrative and selling expenses in 2015 was $26 million of Websense transaction and integration-related costs recorded 
at Corporate as described below in Segment Results beginning on page 48. Included in administrative and selling expenses 
in 2014 was $25 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with the issuance of restricted stock units (RSUs) 
as described below in Segment Results beginning on page 48.

The increase in administrative and selling expenses of $81 million in 2014 compared to 2013 includes the $25 million of 
stock-based compensation expense associated with RSUs issued in 2014 as described below in Segment Results beginning 
on page 48. There was no other individual or common significant driver of the increase in administrative 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 
$28 million, $41 million and $42 million in 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively.

The increase in research and development expenses of $206 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to higher 
independent research and development activity, principally driven by $79 million at MS related to advanced capabilities, and 
increased  research  and  development  expenses  of  $52  million  at  Forcepoint  driven  by  our  acquisition  of  Websense  and 
development on new commercial products.

The increase in research and development expenses of $35 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily due to higher 
independent research and development activity related to electronic warfare technology.

The increase in total non-operating (income) expense, net, of $30 million in 2015 compared to 2014, was primarily due to 
$20 million of higher interest expense in 2015, principally driven by the issuance of $600 million of fixed-rate long-term debt 
in the fourth quarter of 2014, and a $12 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 losses of $1 million in 2015 compared to net gains of

The decrease in federal and foreign income taxes of $57 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to a decrease 
in operating income. The decrease in federal and foreign income taxes of $18 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily 
due to the 2014 tax benefit of the foreign dividend described in more detail in "Note 15: Income Taxes" within Item 8 of this 
Form 10-K, offset by an increase in operating income.

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: 

Statutory tax rate
Research and development tax credit
Tax settlements and refund claims
Domestic manufacturing deduction benefit
Foreign income tax rate differential

Our effective tax rate reflects the 35% U.S. statutory rate adjusted for various permanent differences between book and tax 
reporting. In December 2015, U.S. legislation was enacted to permanently reinstate the Research and Development tax credit 
(R&D tax credit) which had expired December 31, 2014. In the fourth quarter of 2015, we recorded a full year benefit of 
approximately $33 million related to the 2015 R&D tax credit. In 2014, we recorded a full year benefit of approximately $30 
million related to the 2014 R&D tax credit.

45

 
 
 
Our effective tax rate in 2015 was lower than the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to tax settlements and refunds which 
decreased the rate by approximately 3.2%, the domestic manufacturing deduction which decreased the rate by approximately 
3.1%, the foreign rate differential which decreased the rate by 1.4% and was primarily driven by the tax impact of the eBorders 
settlement, and the reinstatement of the R&D tax credit which decreased the rate by approximately 1.2%. The remaining 
increase of 0.2% is composed of various unrelated items which individually or collectively are not significant.

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%, the foreign

SEGMENT RESULTS
In May 2015, we completed a series of transactions with Vista Equity Partners by which we acquired Websense and combined 
it with RCP, formerly part of our IIS segment, and then sold a minority interest in the combined company to Vista Equity 
Partners to establish Forcepoint, a new cybersecurity joint venture company (with Vista Equity Partners).  In connection with 
these transactions, we reorganized our operating and reporting structure with Forcepoint as our fifth reporting segment. We 
report our results in the following segments: IDS; IIS; MS; SAS; and Forcepoint. 

The amounts, discussion and presentation of our business segments, including Corporate and eliminations for intersegment 
activity, set forth in this Form 10-K, reflect the Forcepoint transaction. The Forcepoint results reflect RCP results for all periods 
and  Websense  results  after  the  acquisition  date  of  May  29,  2015.  None  of  the  changes  impact  our  previously  reported 
consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations or statements of cash flows. See "Note 16: Business Segment Reporting" 
within Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

In addition, effective January 1, 2016, we reorganized certain product areas of our IDS and IIS businesses to more efficiently 
leverage our capabilities, but because this change occurred after December 31, 2015, the amounts, discussion and presentation 
of our financial results for purposes of this Form 10-K do not reflect this change. Rather, our structure as of December 31, 
2015 is reflected. 

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 for 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 $8,511 million, $8,362 million and $6,604 million in 2015, 2014, and 
2013, respectively, which included foreign military bookings through the U.S. government. International bookings amounted 
to 34%, 35% and 30% of total bookings in 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. Classified bookings amounted to 15% of total 
bookings in 2015 and 2014 and 13% of total bookings in 2013. 

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 
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.

(1)   Forcepoint total backlog excludes the unfavorable impact of the acquisition accounting adjustments to record acquired deferred revenue at fair value.

Total backlog includes both funded backlog (firm orders for which funding is authorized, appropriated and contractually 
obligated by the customer but 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 and 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 or product lines 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 

49

 
 
 
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.

(1)  Excludes the unfavorable impact of the acquisition accounting adjustments to record acquired deferred revenue at fair value related to Forcepoint, 

including historical RCP acquisitions. These amounts are included in Forcepoint Acquisition Accounting Adjustments.

(2)  Adjustments were less than $(1) million for 2014 and 2013.

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.

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. For a full description 
of our EAC process, refer to our Critical Accounting Estimates section beginning on page 32. 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:

In recent years, our net EAC adjustments generally have been between 1.5% and 2.5% of total net sales. For 2015, 2014 and 
2013, our net EAC adjustments as a percentage of total net sales were 1.6%, 2.2% and 2.3%, respectively.

Significant EAC adjustments in 2015, 2014 and 2013 are discussed in the Operating Income and Margin section of each 
business segment's discussion below. The $142 million decrease in net EAC adjustments in 2015 compared to 2014 was 

50

primarily due to the decrease in net EAC adjustments at SAS as described beginning on page 59. 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 51.

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 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.

Total Net Sales—The increase in total net sales of $290 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to higher net 
sales of $385 million from an international Patriot program awarded in the second quarter of 2015 driven by program activity 
and the recognition of previously deferred precontract costs, $320 million of higher net sales from an international Patriot 
program awarded in the fourth quarter of 2014, $161 million of higher net sales on the Air Warfare Destroyer (AWD) program 
driven by additional scope awarded in the fourth quarter of 2014 and higher net change in EAC adjustments as discussed 
below, and $144 million of higher net sales from an international air and missile defense system program awarded in the fourth 
quarter of 2013 due to scheduled production phases. The higher net sales were partially offset by lower net sales of $510 
million from the scheduled completion of certain production phases on various Patriot programs for international customers 
and $227 million from the scheduled completion of certain production phases on our missile defense radar programs. 

The decrease in 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 Operating Expenses—The increase in total operating expenses of $347 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily 
due to an increase in materials and subcontractors costs of $328 million, driven principally by the activity on the international 
Patriot program awarded in the fourth quarter of 2014 and the international air and missile defense system program awarded 
in the fourth quarter of 2013 described above in Total Net Sales. 

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. 

Operating Income and Margin—The decrease in operating income of $57 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily 
due to a change in mix and other performance of $101 million, partially offset by an increase in volume of $60 million. The 

52

 
 
 
change in mix and other performance was principally driven by lower volume on the various Patriot programs for international 
customers, partially offset by higher volume on the international Patriot program awarded in the second quarter of 2015, both 
of which are described above in Total Net Sales. The increase in volume was primarily due to the activity on the programs 
described above in Total Net Sales. 

The net change in EAC adjustments in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to net EAC adjustments of approximately 
$72 million in 2014 driven primarily by the reduction of expected costs to fulfill contractual commitments on nine contracts 
related to industrial cooperation agreements for an international customer as further discussed below, partially offset by a net 
increase in EAC adjustments of $59 million on our AWD program primarily driven by the adjustments discussed below. Prior 
to a contract modification and restructure of the AWD program in the fourth quarter of 2015, our incentives fees were tied 
directly to both our cost performance and the cost performance of the shipyard. This resulted in an unfavorable EAC adjustment 
in the second quarter of 2014 of $38 million from a decrease in estimated incentive fees driven by an increase in expected 
costs by the shipbuilder to complete its portion of the program and a further EAC adjustment in the second quarter of 2015 
of $33 million to eliminate all remaining estimated incentive fees due to the shipbuilder further extending the planned schedule 
and a related increase in costs to complete its portion of the program. The contract modification and restructure of the AWD 
program in the fourth quarter of 2015 resulted in a change in the incentive fee structure such that almost all of our incentive 
fees are now tied solely to our performance which resulted in a favorable $53 million EAC adjustment in the fourth quarter 
of 2015. The decrease in operating margin in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to the change in mix and other 
performance.

The decrease in operating income of $141 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was due to 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 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.

Backlog and Bookings—Backlog was $11,842 million, $11,495 million and $10,916 million at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 
2013, respectively. The increase in backlog of $347 million or 3% at December 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014 
was primarily due to the 2015 international Patriot bookings in our Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) product line 
described below, partially offset by sales in excess of bookings spread across our other product lines. The increase in backlog 
of $579 million at December 31, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013 was primarily due to bookings in excess of sales in 
2014, principally across our IAMD product line.

Bookings in 2015 were relatively consistent with 2014. In 2015, IDS booked $2.0 billion to provide advanced Patriot air and 
missile defense capability for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and $769 million to provide advanced Patriot air and missile 
defense capability for the Republic of Korea. IDS also booked $366 million on the Zumwalt-class destroyer program for the 
U.S. Navy; $266 million to provide Patriot engineering services support for U.S. and international customers; $245 million 
to provide Consolidated Contractor Logistics Support (CCLS) and $141 million for a radar sustainment contract for the MDA; 

53

$185 million on the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) program, $103 million on the Wide Area 
Augmentation System (WAAS) program and $78 million on the NextGen Weather Processor (NWP) program for the Federal 
Aviation Administration (FAA); $163 million to continue development on the Air Defense Operations Center (ADOC) for 
Qatar; $139 million to provide satellite communication ground terminals for an international customer; $110 million for the 
AWD program for the Australian Navy; $83 million to provide advanced Patriot air and missile defense capability for the 
U.S. Army; and $83 million to provide training and logistics support for an international customer.

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 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 
CCLS for the 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 WAAS Dual Frequency Operations program 
for the FAA, and $94 million to provide Patriot technical and logistics support for Taiwan.

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 CCLS, $173 million for the production of a AN/TPY-2 radar, 
$147 million for the radar sustainment contract for the MDA, $126 million for the WAAS Geostationary Earth Orbit program 
for  the  FAA,  $123  million  on  the  STARS  program  for  the  FAA,  $93  million  for  in-service  support  for  the  Collins  class 
submarine for the Royal Australian Navy, $84 million to provide air and missile defense capability for the U.S. Army, and 
$75 million on the Zumwalt-class destroyer program for the U.S. Navy.

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; U.S. Department of 
Defense  (DoD)  space  and  weather  solutions;  cybersecurity;  analytics;  training;  logistics;  mission  support;  engineering; 
automation and sustainment solutions; and international and domestic Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems. Key customers 
include the U.S. Intelligence Community, the U.S. Armed Forces, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the National 
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the National Aeronautics 
and Space Administration (NASA) and an increasing number of international customers.

Total Net Sales—The decrease in total net sales of $156 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to lower net 
sales of $129 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 $122 million on a classified program for an international customer, 
partially offset by higher net sales of $127 million on cybersecurity and special missions programs excluding a classified 
program for an international customer, primarily driven by the fourth quarter of 2014 acquisition of Raytheon Blackbird 
Technologies (RBT). 

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 $245 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. 

Total Operating Expenses—The decrease in total operating expenses of $260 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily 
due to a decrease in materials and subcontractors costs of $179 million and a decrease in other cost of sales and other operating 
expenses of $175 million. The decrease in materials and subcontractors costs was driven principally by the activity on the 
training programs supporting the U.S. Army's Warfighter FOCUS activities and the classified program for an international 
customer described above in Total Net Sales. The decrease in other cost of sales and other operating expenses was driven 
principally by the $181 million impact from the eBorders settlement as described in Consolidated Results of Operations 
beginning on page 41.

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 $62 million, primarily due to the timing of costs applied to contracts 
through rates, which had an impact of $38 million.

Operating Income and Margin—The increase in operating income of $104 million and the related increase in operating margin 
in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to a change in mix and other performance of $140 million, principally driven 
by  the  $181  million  impact  from  the  eBorders  settlement. The  remaining  change  in  mix  and  other  performance  in  2015 
compared to the 2014 was spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver. The net change 
in EAC adjustments was primarily due to a $44 million net change in EAC adjustments driven principally by higher than 
expected costs for the classified program for an international customer described above in Total Net Sales, partially offset by 
a $15 million net change in EAC adjustments due to favorable performance on various mission support and modernization

programs primarily in support of intersegment production programs. Operating income was reduced by approximately $12 
million and $6 million for the amortization of acquired intangible assets in 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Operating income and margin in 2014 were relatively consistent with 2013. Operating income in 2014 and 2013 was reduced 
by approximately $6 million for the amortization of acquired intangible assets. 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.

Backlog and Bookings—Backlog was $5,154 million, $5,825 million and $5,811 million at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 
2013, respectively. The decrease in backlog of $671 million or 12% at December 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014 
was  primarily  due  to  sales  in  excess  of  bookings,  driven  principally  by  the  Global  Positioning  System  Next  Generation 
Operational Control System (GPS-OCX) program and the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) program for NASA. Backlog 
at December 31, 2014 was relatively consistent with December 31, 2013.

The bookings decrease of $444 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was driven primarily by the $641 million decrease in the 
specifically disclosed bookings below. In 2015, IIS booked $703 million on domestic training programs and $260 million on 
foreign training programs in support of Warfighter FOCUS activities; $105 million on a contract to support the U.S. Air Force’s 
Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS); $98 million to provide development and sustainment support for the National 
Cybersecurity Protection System for the DHS, an award which was protested; and $78 million to continue supporting the 
Counter Narcoterrorism Technology Program Office (CNTPO). IIS also booked $1,953 million on a number of classified 
contracts.

The bookings increase of $241 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was driven primarily by the $761 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 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 $1,834 million on a number of 
classified contracts, including a $260 million award for international cyber.

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 $1,491 million on a number of 
classified contracts, including a $100 million award for international cyber.

Total Net Sales—The increase in total net sales of $247 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to $98 million 
of higher net sales on the Paveway™ program principally driven by international requirements, $97 million of higher net sales 
on the Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wireless-guided (TOW®) missile program primarily due to planned increases in 
production, and $90 million of higher net sales on certain air and missile defense programs primarily due to a contract awarded 
in the third quarter of 2015, partially offset by $120 million of lower net sales on the Standard Missile-3 (SM-3®) program 
primarily due to the planned transition from development to production. 

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 Operating Expenses—The increase in total operating expenses of $180 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily 
due to an increase in materials and subcontractors costs of $99 million driven principally by the activity on the TOW® program 
described above in Total Net Sales and activity on the Phalanx® program driven by planned increases in production, partially 
offset by activity on the SM-3® program described above in Total Net Sales. Included in the change in other cost of sales and 
other operating expenses was an increase in research and development expenses of $79 million principally related to advanced 
capabilities.

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.

Operating Income and Margin—The increase in operating income of $67 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily 
due to a change in mix and other performance of $34 million and an increase in volume of $21 million. The change in mix 
and other performance was driven principally by higher volume on the Paveway™ program described above in Total Net 
Sales, with the remaining change spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver. The 
increase in volume was driven principally by the programs described above in Total Net Sales. Included in the net change in 
EAC adjustments was a $25 million favorable resolution of a contractual issue in the first quarter of 2015. The increase in 
operating margin in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to the change in mix and other performance and the net change 
in EAC adjustments.

57

 
 
 
 
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.

Backlog and Bookings—Backlog was $10,885 million, $9,269 million and $9,162 million at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 
2013, respectively. The increase in backlog of $1,616 million or 17% at December 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014 
was  primarily  due  to  bookings  in  excess  of  sales,  primarily  within  the Air  Warfare  Systems  product  line.  Backlog  at 
December 31, 2014 was relatively consistent with December 31, 2013.

The bookings increase of $1,751 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was driven primarily by the $1,346 million increase in 
the specifically disclosed bookings below. In 2015, MS booked $1,726 million for Paveway™ for the U.S. Air Force and 
international customers, $1,202 million for SM-3® for the MDA and an international customer, $637 million for Advanced

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 electro-optical/infrared (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, Army, and classified and international customers.

Total Net Sales—Total net sales decreased $276 million in 2015 compared to 2014. Included in the change in total net sales 
was lower net sales of $111 million primarily due to reduced schedule requirements on international tactical radar systems 
programs, lower intersegment sales of $65 million driven by lower volume on contracts supporting radar programs, and higher 
net sales of $279 million on classified programs. The remaining change in total net sales was spread across numerous programs 
with no individual or common significant driver. 

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.

Total Operating Expenses—The decrease in total operating expenses of $224 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily 
due to a decrease in materials and subcontractors costs of $183 million and a decrease in other cost of sales and other operating 

59

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
expenses of $56 million. The decrease in material and subcontractors costs was driven principally by activity on intersegment 
contracts supporting radar programs and activity on the international tactical radar programs described above in Total Net 
Sales, partially offset by activity on the classified programs described above in Total Net Sales. The remaining change in 
materials and subcontractors costs was spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver. 
The decrease in other cost of sales and other operating expenses was primarily due to the timing and amount of adjustments 
for loss contracts, which had an impact of $31 million, and the timing of costs applied to contracts through rates, which had 
an impact of $29 million.

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 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.

Operating Income and Margin—The decrease in operating income of $52 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily 
due to a net change in EAC adjustments of $93 million and decreased volume of $33 million, partially offset by a change in 
mix and other performance of $74 million. The net change in EAC adjustments was principally driven by labor and material 
production efficiencies throughout 2014 on two international tactical radar systems programs which amounted to $58 million, 
with the remainder of the change driven by efficiencies on certain classified programs in 2014. The decrease in volume was 
spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver. The change in mix and other performance 
was primarily driven by international F-15 Radar programs. Also included in mix and other performance were $35 million 
and $40 million for acquisition-related costs, primarily related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets, in 2015 and 
2014, respectively, and an $11 million gain on a real estate transaction in the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in operating 
margin in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to the net change in EAC adjustments, partially offset by the change in 
mix and other performance.

The decrease in operating income of $74 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was due to a change 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, for acquisition-related costs primarily related to the amortization of acquired intangible 
assets. 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.

Backlog and Bookings—Backlog was $6,309 million, $6,930 million and $7,751 million at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 
2013, respectively. The decrease in backlog of $621 million or 9% at December 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014 
was primarily due to sales in excess of bookings, principally within our Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Systems 
and Tactical Airborne Systems product lines. The decrease in backlog of $821 million 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 bookings decrease of $474 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was driven primarily by lower bookings in our Intelligence, 
Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems (ISRS) and Tactical Airborne Systems (TAS) product lines, partially offset by 
higher bookings in our Electronic Warfare Systems (EWS) product line. In 2015, SAS booked $153 million on a multi-mission 
radar program for the U.S. Navy and an international customer, $106 million for the production of Active Electronically 
Scanned Array (AESA) radars for the U.S. Air Force, $102 million on the Navy Multiband Terminal (NMT) program, $99 
million on an AESA radar Performance Based Logistics (PBL) contract for an international customer, $92 million to provide 
radar spares for an international customer, $92 million for the production of AESA radars for an international customer, $88 
million to provide radar components for the U.S. Air Force, and $82 million to provide communication subsystems for the 
U.S. Navy and an international customer. SAS also booked $1,213 million on a number of classified contracts.

Forcepoint, formerly known as Raytheon|Websense, is a global provider of information technology security products and 
related  services  designed  to  protect  commercial  and  government  organizations  and  their  customers  and  other  users  from 
external and internal threats, including modern cyber-threats, advanced malware attacks, information leaks, legal liability and 
productivity loss. Forcepoint is a joint venture company (with Vista Equity Partners) created in May 2015 through a series of 
transactions by which Raytheon acquired Websense from Vista Equity Partners and combined it with RCP, formerly part of 
the IIS segment, and then sold a minority interest in the combined company to Vista Equity Partners. The new company 
combines Raytheon's advanced cybersecurity technologies and Websense's industry-leading TRITON platform to provide 
defense-grade cybersecurity solutions to domestic and international customers.

Total Net Sales—Total net sales for the segment are net sales before any reduction for the acquisition accounting adjustments 
to record deferred revenue at fair value. The increase in total net sales of $224 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily 
due to $221 million of higher sales resulting from the acquisition of Websense. Total net sales excluded the unfavorable impact 
of $61 million and less than $1 million, in 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to the deferred revenue adjustment described 
below in Forcepoint Acquisition Accounting Adjustments.

The increase in total net sales of $17 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was due to higher net sales from RCP, principally 
driven by an increase in software license revenue. Total net sales excluded the unfavorable impact of less than $1 million in 
both  2014  and  2013  related  to  the  deferred  revenue  adjustment  described  below  in  Forcepoint Acquisition Accounting 
Adjustments.

Total Operating Expenses—We disclose our operating expenses for the segment, which excludes amortization of acquired 
intangible assets and certain other acquisition and acquisition related expenses, in terms of the following: 

•  Cost of sales—costs associated with Web content analysis and technical support, infrastructure costs associated with 
maintaining our databases, costs associated with providing our cloud offerings, and costs associated with the sale of 
our appliance products.
Selling and marketing—salaries, commissions and benefits related to personnel engaged in selling and marketing 
and  customer  support  functions;  costs  related  to  public  relations,  advertising,  promotions  and  travel;  and  other 
allocated costs.

• 

•  Research  and  development—salaries  and  benefits  for  software  developers  that  support  the  development  of  new 

products and continued enhancement of existing products, and allocated costs.

•  General  and  administrative  expenses—salaries,  benefits  and  related  expenses  for  our  executive,  finance  and 

administrative personnel; third party professional service fees; and allocated costs. 

Total operating expenses in 2015 increased $205 million compared to 2014. The increase in all of the categories of total 
operating expenses was primarily due to the acquisition of Websense. In addition, the increase in total operating expenses 
included $20 million of additional research and development and selling and marketing expenses for the development and 
launch of new commercial products. Research and development expense in 2015 also included $6 million related to severance 
and retention associated with the restructuring of Websense. Total operating expenses excluded $58 million and $6 million 
of amortization of acquired intangible assets in 2015 and 2014, respectively, as described below in Forcepoint Acquisition 
Accounting Adjustments, and $26 million of other acquisition and acquisition related costs in 2015 as described below in 
Corporate. 

The increase in total operating expenses of $19 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily due to an increase in research 
and development expenses of $11 million, driven principally by the development of new commercial software products. Total 
operating  expenses  excluded  $6  million  and  $9  million  of  amortization  of  acquired  intangible  assets  in  2014  and  2013, 
respectively, as described below in Forcepoint Acquisition Accounting Adjustments.

Operating Income and Margin—The increase in operating income of $19 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily 
due to an additional $30 million of income resulting from the acquisition of Websense, partially offset by the additional research 
and development and sales and marketing expenses for the development and launch of new commercial products. Operating 
income in 2015 and 2014 excludes $119 million and $6 million, respectively, related to the acquisition accounting adjustments 
described below in Forcepoint Acquisition Accounting Adjustments and certain other acquisition and acquisition related costs 
described below in Corporate. The decrease in operating margin in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to the research 
and development and sales and marketing expenses described above.

Operating income in 2014 was relatively consistent with 2013. Operating income in 2014 and 2013 excludes $6 million and 
$9  million,  respectively,  related  to  the  acquisition  accounting  adjustments  described  below  in  Forcepoint  Acquisition 
Accounting Adjustments. The decrease in operating margin in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily due to the increased 
research and development expenses described above in Total Operating Expenses.

Backlog and Bookings—Backlog was $479 million, $52 million and $45 million at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, 
respectively. The increase in backlog of $427 million at December 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014 was primarily 
due to the acquisition of Websense. Backlog at December 31, 2014 was relatively consistent with December 31, 2013.

Bookings  increased  by  $251  million  in  2015  compared  to  2014  primarily  due  to  the  acquisition  of Websense.  Bookings 
increased by $19 million in 2014 compared to 2013 primarily due to an increase in software license bookings.

Forcepoint Acquisition Accounting Adjustments
Forcepoint Acquisition Accounting Adjustments include the adjustments to record acquired deferred revenue at fair value as 
part of our purchase price allocation process ("deferred revenue adjustment") and the amortization of acquired intangible 

62

assets  related  to  the Websense  acquisition  and  historical  RCP  acquisitions. These  adjustments  are  not  considered  part  of 
management's evaluation of Forcepoint segment results.

The change in our Forcepoint Acquisition Accounting Adjustments of $113 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was due to a 
$61 million increase in the deferred revenue adjustment and a $52 million increase in the intangibles amortization adjustment, 
both of which were driven by the acquisition of Websense.

The Forcepoint Acquisition Accounting Adjustments in 2014 were relatively consistent with 2013.

FAS/CAS Adjustment
The FAS/CAS Adjustment represents the difference between our pension and PRB expense or income under FAS requirements 
under U.S. GAAP and our pension and PRB expense under 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.

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. 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. 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 $99 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was driven by a $291 million 
increase in our FAS expense and a $192 million increase in our CAS expense. The increase in our FAS expense in 2015 was 
primarily due to the lower discount rate at December 31, 2014 compared to the discount rate as of December 31, 2013, and 
the change in our long-term ROA assumption from 8.75% to 8.0%. The increase in the CAS expense in 2015 was primarily 
due to the CAS Harmonization phased transition 25% increase from 2014 to 2015 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. The change in 

63

 
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 $534 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was driven by a $345 million 
decrease in FAS and a $189 million increase in our CAS expense. The decrease in our FAS expense in 2014 was primarily 
due 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 the discount rate described above. This was offset by a decrease in CAS as a result of the passage 
of the HATFA Act. 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.

For 2016 compared to 2015, we currently expect our FAS expense to decrease and our CAS expense to increase, resulting in 
a higher FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment to income. We expect the FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment to be approximately $400 
million of income driven by the differences in the assumptions and the recognition period for gains and losses under FAS and 
CAS and the transition to CAS Harmonization. This expected increase in the FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment 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 2016, 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, 2015 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 2017.

The decrease in operating income related to Corporate of $40 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to $26 
million of Websense transaction and integration-related expenses in 2015. Included in operating income related to Corporate 
in 2014 was $25 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with 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-based  compensation 
expense associated with the RSUs in 2014 rather than over the vesting period of the awards.

The decrease in operating income related to Corporate of $42 million in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily due to $25 
million of stock-based compensation expense associated with RSUs awarded in 2014.

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.

64

 
 
 
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 2010, we recorded a $39 million charge, net of federal tax benefit, in discontinued operations related to the Internal Revenue 
Service (IRS) assessing Flight Options LLC (Flight Options) for excise taxes. 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 and recorded a $25 million gain, net of federal tax expense, in discontinued 
operations. 

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Overview
We pursue a capital deployment strategy that balances funding for growing our business, including 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.

In addition, the following table highlights selected measures of our liquidity and capital resources at December 31:

The increase of $175 million in net cash provided by operating activities in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to a 
decrease in pension contributions as discussed below, partially offset by an increase in tax payments as discussed below, and 
the  timing  of  collections,  which  is  driven  by  various  items  including  milestone  payments  on  international  programs  and 
payment terms. The decrease of $194 million in net cash provided by 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 48.

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 (ROA) 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 

65

 
 
 
 
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. As discussed in Critical Accounting Estimates beginning on page 32, 
the  STE Act,  HATFA Act  and  BBA Act  were  passed  by  Congress  and  signed  by  the  President  in  2012,  2014  and  2015, 
respectively. 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 
phased out this interest rate provision beginning in 2013. The HATFA and BBA Acts extended the phase out provisions until 
2020. 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 2020.

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

The decrease in required pension contributions of $311 million in 2015 compared to 2014 and $128 million in 2014 compared 
to 2013 was primarily due to HATFA as described above. 

We expect to make required contributions to our pension and PRB plans of approximately $165 million in 2016. 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.

The increase in net tax payments of $322 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to the timing and amount of 
pension contributions. Federal and foreign net tax payments for 2016 are expected to approximate $700 million. The decrease 
in expected federal and foreign net tax payments in 2016 is primarily due to the timing and amount of pension contributions.

Interest Payments—We made interest payments on our outstanding debt of $232 million, $209 million and $210 million in 
2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in interest payments in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to the 
issuance of $600 million of fixed-rate long-term debt in the fourth quarter of 2014.

We have used cash provided by operating activities, and proceeds from the issuance of new debt as our primary source for

cash provided by (used in) financing activities in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to proceeds from debt issuance 
in 2014 and an increase in share repurchases, partially offset by the sale of noncontrolling interest in Forcepoint, all of which 
are described below. 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. 

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

Share Repurchases—From time to time, our Board of Directors authorizes the repurchase of shares of our common stock. In 
September 2011, our Board authorized the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion of our outstanding common stock. Our Board also 
authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $2.0 billion of our outstanding common stock in November 2013 and up to 
another  additional  $2.0  billion  of  our  outstanding  common  stock  in  November  2015. At  December  31, 2015,  we  had 
approximately $2.5 billion available under the 2015 and 2013 repurchase programs. Share repurchases will take place from 
time to time at management’s discretion depending on market conditions.

Sale of Noncontrolling Interest in Forcepoint—In connection with the Websense acquisition, we combined Websense with 
RCP to form Forcepoint and then sold 19.7% of the equity interest in Forcepoint to Vista Equity Partners for $343 million. 
For more information on the Forcepoint joint venture, see Item 1 "Business," and "Note 5: Forcepoint Joint Venture" within 
Item 8 of this Form 10-K. 

CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total debt was $5.3 billion at December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014. 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 $3.2 
billion and $4.7 billion at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 $1,040 million and $715 million at 
December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 November 2015, we entered into a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility maturing in November 2020 
and terminated the previous $1.4 billion credit facility entered into in December 2011. Under the $1.25 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, 2015, 
borrowings would generally bear interest at LIBOR plus 80.5 basis points. The credit facility is composed of commitments 
from 20 separate highly rated lenders, each committing no more than 10% of the facility. As of December 31, 2015 and 
December 31, 2014 there were no borrowings outstanding under these credit facilities. We had no outstanding letters of credit 
at December 31, 2015 and $2 million of outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2014, which effectively reduced our 
borrowing capacity under the credit facility by that amount. 

68

 
 
Under the $1.4 billion and $1.25 billion credit facilities 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 2015 and 2014. 
Our ratio of total debt to total capitalization, as those terms are defined in the credit facility, was 34.5% at December 31, 2015. 
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. 

Credit Ratings—Three major corporate debt  rating organizations, Fitch Ratings (Fitch), Moody’s  and Standard & Poor’s 
(S&P), assign ratings to our short-term and long-term debt. The following chart reflects the current ratings assigned by each 
of these agencies as of December 31, 2015 to our short-term and long-term senior unsecured debt:

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 PRB contributions. We expect to make required pension 
and PRB contributions of approximately $165 million in 2016, exclusive of any U.S. government recovery. Amounts beyond 
2016 for required pension and PRB contributions depend upon actuarial assumptions, actual plan asset performance and other 
factors described under pension costs in Critical Accounting Estimates beginning on page 32. However, based solely on our 
current assumptions, we expect our funding requirements to be approximately $933 million in 2017, exclusive of any U.S. 
government recovery.

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

As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions 
and the accrual for the related interest, net of the federal benefit, was $8 million and $108 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, 2015, 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, in our consolidated balance sheets. 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.

Financing Arrangements and Other—We issue guarantees, and banks and surety companies issue, on our behalf, letters of 
credit and surety bonds to meet various bid, performance, warranty, retention and advance payment obligations of us or our 
affiliates. These instruments expire on various dates through 2024. 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 $203 million and $187 million, respectively, at December 31, 
2015, and $196 million and $244 million, respectively, at December 31, 2014, related to our joint venture in Thales-Raytheon 
Systems Co. Ltd. (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 meet 
their obligations described above. At December 31, 2015, we believe the risk that TRS and other affiliates will not be able to 
meet their obligations is minimal for the foreseeable future based on their current financial condition. All obligations were 
current at December 31, 2015. At December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had an estimated liability of $8 million 
and $9 million, respectively, related to these guarantees and letters of credit.

In 2001, we formed the TRS joint venture with Thales S.A. See additional background on the TRS joint venture in "Note 9: 
Other Assets, Net" within Item 8 of this Form 10-K. On December 24, 2015 Thales S.A. and Raytheon entered into a letter 
agreement relating to the joint venture agreement for the TRS joint venture (excluding Thales-Raytheon Systems Air and 
Missile Defense Command and Control S.A.S (TRS AMDC2), previously called Air Command Systems International S.A.S). 
The letter agreement contemplates that the parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to amend the joint venture 
agreement on or before June 30, 2016 to reduce its existing scope of work to NATO-only business opportunities involving 
air command and control systems. In connection with the contemplated changes, we will reacquire Thales S.A.'s noncontrolling 
interest in Thales-Raytheon Systems LLC (TRS LLC) and sell our equity method interest in TRS SAS, with a net payment 
due to Thales S.A. totaling $90 million based on the relative values and undistributed earnings of TRS LLC and TRS SAS. 
Any gain or loss resulting from the transactions contemplated by the letter agreement will be recognized upon completion of 
a definitive agreement and resolution of all contingencies which is expected to occur on or before June 30, 2016. The TRS 
joint venture will continue to operate under the current structure until the close of the transactions. 

We have an approximately $400 million international classified contract that did not achieve certain contractual milestones 
in 2015. We are working with the customer to complete the milestones quickly and we currently do not expect to be terminated 
on the program. However, if we were terminated for default, it could result in a write-off currently estimated at $180–$200 
million.

The joint venture agreement between Raytheon and Vista Equity Partners provides Vista Equity Partners with certain rights 
to require Forcepoint to pursue an initial public offering at any time after four years and three months following the closing 
date of May 29, 2015, or pursue a sale of the company at any time after five years following the closing date. In either of these 
events, Raytheon has the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of Vista Equity Partners’ interest in Forcepoint for cash 
at a price equal to fair value as determined under the joint venture agreement. Additionally, Vista Equity Partners has the 
ability to liquidate its ownership through a put option any time after two years following the closing date. In the event of a 
put option, Vista Equity Partners could require Raytheon to purchase all (but not less than all) of Vista Equity Partners’ interest 
in Forcepoint for cash at a price equal to fair value as determined under the joint venture agreement. Lastly, at any time after 
three years following the closing date, Raytheon has the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of Vista Equity Partners’ 
interest in Forcepoint at a price equal to fair value as determined under the joint venture agreement. 

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, 2015, the aggregate amount 
of our offset agreements had an outstanding notional value of approximately $5.5 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 69. 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 (DCAA); the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA); the Inspector 
General of the U.S. Department of Defense (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 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. 

71

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 Foreign Corrupt 
Practices Act (FCPA) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)) 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.

We do not currently expect the economic downturn in Greece to have a material impact on our financial position, results of 
operations or liquidity. We have less than 1% of our sales in Greece and less than $100 million in U.S. dollar denominated 
contracts in process. We currently believe all of these amounts to be collectible; however, if circumstances change, we could 
be required to write off some or all of the contracts in process balance.

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.

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, 2015 and December 31, 2014 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, 
2015 and December 31, 2014. 

Principal payments and interest rate detail for long-term debt by contractual maturity dates as of December 31, 2015 and 
December 31, 2014, respectively, were as follows:

In addition, the aggregate notional amount of the outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was $1,076 million and $926 
million  at  December  31, 2015  and  December  31, 2014,  respectively.  The  net  notional  exposure  of  these  contracts  was 
approximately $117 million and $57 million at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

For foreign currency forward contracts designated and qualifying for hedge accounting, we record the effective portion of the 

72

 
 
 
 
 
gain or loss on the derivative in accumulated other comprehensive loss (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. Unrealized gains of 
$9 million and $7 million were included in non-current assets and unrealized losses of $29 million and $24 million were 
included in current liabilities at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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, 2015, we had short-term investments with a fair value of $872 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 
five months).

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 2015 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, 2015, 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, 2015, 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, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each 
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015 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, 2015, 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.

As discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for 
the classification of deferred taxes in the consolidated balance sheets due to the adoption of ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet 
Classification of Deferred Taxes.

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 toward 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 U.S. GAAP. We combine closely related 
contracts when all the applicable criteria under U.S. 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 U.S. 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 a method to measure progress toward 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 toward completion of the contract. Under the 
cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress toward 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 companywide 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  toward  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 

82

   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 in 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 in 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:

We apply the separation guidance under U.S. 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 herein.

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. We also sell software via subscriptions 
and hosted solutions and revenue for these arrangements is recognized straight-line over the term of the agreement. A portion 
of our revenues are generated from the sale of appliances that contain software components, such as operating systems, that 
operate together with the hardware platform to provide the essential functionality of the appliance. When sold in a multiple 
element arrangement, these appliances are considered non-software deliverables and therefore, we can allocate the arrangement 
fee based upon relative selling price of each element. When applying the relative selling price method, we determine the 
selling price of each element using best estimate of selling price (BESP), because VSOE and third-party evidence (TPE) are 
not available. The revenues allocated to the software-related elements are recognized based on software industry specific 
revenue recognition guidance, as noted above. The revenues allocated to the non-software related elements are recognized 
based on the nature of the element provided. We estimate BESP by considering internal factors such as historical pricing 
practices and gross margin objectives, as well as market conditions such as competitor pricing strategies, customer demands 
and geography, and regularly review these assumptions. 

To a much lesser extent, we enter into other types of contracts such as service, commercial, 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 

83

 
   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

is  reasonably  assured.  Costs  on  fixed-price  service  contracts  are  expensed  as  incurred,  unless  they  otherwise  qualify  for 
deferral. 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. 

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 $706 million, $500 million and $465 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, 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 
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. 
With the exception of Forcepoint, 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. Payments made for state income taxes related to Forcepoint are included in 
federal and foreign income tax expense.

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, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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, 
2015 and December 31, 2014, we had short-term investments of $872 million and $1,497 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, 2015, 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, 2015 and December 31, 
2014. There were no securities deemed to have other than temporary declines in value for 2015. In 2015, we recorded unrealized 
gains on short-term investments of less than $1 million, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL). In 
2014, we recorded unrealized losses on short-term investments of less than $1 million, net of tax, in AOCL. In 2015, we 
recorded sales of short-term investments of $209 million, which resulted in gains of less than $1 million recorded in other 
(income) expense, net. 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. 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 U.S. 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, 2015 
and December 31, 2014, net deferred contract costs were approximately $241 million and $223 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  (PRB)  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 PRB costs differ from the Financial 
Accounting Standards (FAS) requirements under U.S. 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 PRB plans in 2013–2015. This resulted in $185 million of income, $286 million of 
income and $249 million of expense in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, reflected in our consolidated results of operations 
for the difference between CAS and FAS requirements for our pension and PRB plans in those years.

Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower of its cost (first-in, first-out or average cost) or 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 $225 million and $126 million in inventories as work in process 
at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

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 operating 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 

85

   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

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 U.S. GAAP. In performing our annual 
impairment test in the fourth quarters of 2015, 2014 and 2013 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.

Computer Software, Net—Internal use computer software, net, included in other assets, net, which consists primarily of our 
enterprisewide 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. Computer software development costs related to software products 
developed for external use are capitalized, when significant, after establishment of technological feasibility and marketability. 
There have been no such costs capitalized to date as the costs incurred during the period between technological feasibility to 
general release have not been significant.

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. 

Deferred Revenue—We receive up-front payments related to software license sales for Forcepoint, which we recognize 
ratably over the license term. We classify deferred revenue as current and noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect 
to recognize revenue. The current and noncurrent portions of Forcepoint's deferred revenue are included in other accrued 
expenses and accrued retiree benefits and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheets.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest—Redeemable noncontrolling interest is recognized at the greater of the estimated 
redemption value as of the balance sheet date or the initial value adjusted for the noncontrolling interest holder's share of the 
cumulative impact of net income (loss) and other changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Adjustments 
to the redemption value over the period from the date of acquisition to the date the redemption feature becomes puttable are 
immediately recorded to retained earnings. We reflect the redemption value adjustments in the EPS calculation if redemption 
value is in excess of the fair value of noncontrolling interest.

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

Material amounts reclassified out of AOCL were related to amortization of net actuarial loss associated with our pension and 
PRB plans and were $1,129 million, $892 million and $1,154 million before tax in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. This 
component of AOCL is included in the calculation of net periodic pension expense (income) (see "Note 14: Pension and Other 
Employee Benefits" for additional details).

The defined benefit pension and other employee benefit plans are shown net of tax benefits of $3,824 million and $4,005 
million at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The cash flow hedges and interest rate locks are shown 
net of tax benefits of $10 million and $8 million at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The unrealized 
gains (losses) on investments and other are shown net of tax benefits of $4 million and $2 million at December 31, 2015 and 
December 31, 2014, respectively. We expect approximately $5 million of after-tax net unrealized losses on our cash flow 
hedges  at  December  31, 2015  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 2015, 2014 and 2013 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 (PRB) 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  U.S.  GAAP,  and  the 
calculations and assumptions utilized require judgment. U.S. GAAP outlines the methodology used to determine pension 
expense  or  income  for  financial  reporting  purposes.  For  purposes  of  determining  pension  expense  under  U.S.  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 
U.S. 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% of the projected benefit 

87

 
 
   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

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. 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. 

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 classify the cash flows from these instruments 
in the same category as the cash flows from the hedged items. The aggregate notional amount of the outstanding foreign 
currency forward contracts was $1,076 million and $926 million at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. 
The net notional exposure of these contracts was approximately $117 million and $57 million at December 31, 2015 and 
December 31, 2014, respectively. The foreign currency forward contracts at December 31, 2015 have maturities at various 
dates through 2028 as follows: $695 million in 2016; $263 million in 2017; $70 million in 2018; and $48 million thereafter.

We recognize all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. 
The fair value of asset derivatives included in other assets, net and liability derivatives included in other current liabilities in 
our  consolidated  balance  sheets  related  to  foreign  currency  contracts  were  $9  million  and  $29  million,  respectively  at 
December 31, 2015 and $7 million and $24 million, respectively at December 31, 2014. The fair values of these derivatives 
are Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy for 2015 and 2014 because they are determined based on a market approach utilizing 
externally quoted forward rates for similar contracts. We measure and record the impact of counterparty credit risk into our 
valuation and the impact was less than $1 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. 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.

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 may also 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, 2015 and 2014.

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 

88

   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, 2015 and 2014. Fair value information for those assets 
and liabilities, including their classification in the fair value hierarchy, is included in "Note 14: Pension and Other Employee 
Benefits" (for marketable securities held in trust) and "Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" (for short-term 
investments and foreign currency forward contracts). Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset 
value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. 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, 2015 and 2014. We did not have any material amounts of Level 3 assets or liabilities at December 31, 
2015 and 2014.

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 stock-based payment 
awards, and separately disclose distributed and undistributed earnings. Distributed earnings represent common stock dividends 
and dividends earned on unvested stock-based payment awards of retirement eligible employees. Undistributed earnings 
represent earnings that were available for distribution but were not distributed. Common stock and unvested stock-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 (RSUs) and the straight-line amortization method for our LTPP. The expense related to our Forcepoint long-term incentive 
plans is recognized over the requisite service period when achievement of the performance conditions is considered probable. 
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. 

89

   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Total sales to the U.S. government, excluding foreign military sales, were 68%, 70%, and 72% of total net sales in 2015, 2014 
and 2013, respectively. Total sales to customers outside the U.S., including foreign military sales through the U.S. government, 
were 31%, 29% and 27% of total net sales in 2015, 2014 and 2013, 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. 

Accounting Standards—In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard 
Update (ASU) 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires all deferred 
income tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The new standard is effective for annual 
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. We have elected to early adopt this 
requirement retrospectively in the current period. We reclassified $165 million of net current deferred income tax liabilities 
from current to noncurrent at December 31, 2014. 

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value 
per Share (or Its Equivalent), which, for all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share 
practical expedient, removes the requirement to make certain disclosures and to categorize them within the fair value hierarchy. 
The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. 
We have elected to early adopt this requirement retrospectively in the current period. 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation 
of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance 
sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The new standard is effective for annual reporting 
periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We 
have elected to early adopt this requirement retrospectively in the current period. We reclassified $5 million of debt issuance 
costs from other assets, net, to a reduction of long-term debt at December 31, 2014. 

In May 2014, the FASB issued 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. 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. 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. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved the deferral of the new standard's effective date by one year. The new 
standard now would be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The FASB will permit 
companies to adopt the new standard early, but not before the original effective date of annual reporting periods beginning 
after December 15, 2016. 

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2015 are not expected to have a material impact 
on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Note 3: eBorders Settlement
In March 2015, Raytheon Systems Limited (RSL) reached a settlement with the UK Home Office concluding the parties' 
dispute regarding the UK Home Office's July 2010 termination of RSL's eBorders contract within our Intelligence, Information 
and Services (IIS) segment. The settlement included a cash payment from the UK Home Office to RSL of £150 million 
(approximately $226 million based on foreign exchange rates as of the settlement date) for the resolution of all claims and 
counterclaims of both parties related to the matter. After certain expenses and derecognition of the outstanding receivables, 
IIS recorded $181 million in operating income through a reduction in cost of sales in 2015.

Note 4: Acquisitions and Goodwill
In pursuing our business strategies, we acquire and make investments in certain businesses that meet strategic and financial 
criteria. 

In October 2015, we acquired Foreground Security, subsequently renamed Raytheon Foreground Security (RFS), for $62 
million in cash, net of cash received, and exclusive of retention payments. RFS will be integrated into our IIS business, within 

91

 
 
 
 
 
   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

the Cybersecurity and Special Missions (CSM) product area. RFS provides security operations centers (SOCs), managed 
security service solutions and cybersecurity professional services. RFS will accelerate Raytheon's expansion into managed 
security  services  across  federal,  international  and  commercial  markets.  In  connection  with  this  transaction  we  have 
preliminarily recorded $50 million of goodwill related to expected synergies from combining operations and the value of the 
existing workforce, and $7 million of intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships and technology with a 
weighted-average life of seven years. We expect to complete the purchase price allocation process in 2016 after our final

In May 2015, we acquired Websense, Inc. (Websense) from Vista Equity Partners for approximately $1.9 billion, net of cash 
received, and exclusive of retention payments. Websense is a leader in advanced threat protection and data theft prevention 
across web, email, cloud and endpoint infrastructure. Following the acquisition, we completed a series of transactions to create 
our Forcepoint joint venture (with Vista Equity Partners). For more information on the Forcepoint joint venture, see Item 1 
"Business," and "Note 5: Forcepoint Joint Venture" within Item 8 of this Form 10-K. In connection with this acquisition, we 
incurred transaction and integration-related costs of $33 million in 2015 of which $26 million were recorded at Corporate. 
We recorded $1.6 billion of goodwill, all of which was allocated to the Forcepoint segment, primarily related to expected 
synergies from combining operations and the value of the existing workforce, and none of which is expected to be deductible 
for tax purposes.

The final purchase price allocation, net of cash received, for the Websense acquisition was as follows:

In  November  2014,  we  acquired  Blackbird  Technologies,  Incorporated,  subsequently  renamed  Raytheon  Blackbird 
Technologies (RBT), for $427 million in cash, net of cash received, 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 IIS offerings. In connection with this acquisition, we have recorded 
$300 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.

In June 2013, we acquired Visual Analytics, Incorporated, subsequently renamed Raytheon Visual Analytics Incorporated 
(RVAI). RVAI further extends our capabilities to meet the data analytics, data visualization and information sharing needs of 
our customers. 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. 

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 $312 million 
at December 31, 2015.

In connection with the reclassification of Raytheon Cyber Products (RCP) from our IIS segment, goodwill of $185 million was allocated to the Forcepoint 
segment on a relative fair value basis.
In addition to the acquisitions of Websense and Foreground Security, we acquired Sensintel, Inc. at Missile Systems (MS) and finalized the purchase 
price allocation for RBT at IIS in 2015.

For information on our intangible assets, see "Note 9: Other Assets, Net".

Note 5: Forcepoint Joint Venture
In May 2015, we created Raytheon|Websense, a new cybersecurity joint venture company (with Vista Equity Partners), through 
a series of transactions by which we acquired Websense, Inc. (Websense) from Vista Equity Partners and combined it with 
RCP, formerly part of our IIS segment. We then sold 19.7% of the equity interest in the combined company to Vista Equity 
Partners for $343 million. Raytheon|Websense was later renamed Forcepoint.

The joint venture agreement between Raytheon and Vista Equity Partners provides Vista Equity Partners with certain rights 
to require Forcepoint to pursue an initial public offering at any time after four years and three months following the closing 
date of May 29, 2015, or pursue a sale of the company at any time after five years following the closing date. In either of these 
events, Raytheon has the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of Vista Equity Partners’ interest in Forcepoint for cash 
at a price equal to fair value as determined under the joint venture agreement. Additionally, Vista Equity Partners has the 
ability to liquidate its ownership through a put option any time after two years following the closing date. In the event of a 
put option, Vista Equity Partners could require Raytheon to purchase all (but not less than all) of Vista Equity Partners’ interest 
in Forcepoint for cash at a price equal to fair value as determined under the joint venture agreement. Lastly, at any time after 
three years following the closing date, Raytheon has the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of Vista Equity Partners’ 
interest in Forcepoint at a price equal to fair value as determined under the joint venture agreement. Vista Equity Partners'

Note 6: 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 2010, we recorded a $39 million charge, net of federal tax benefit, in discontinued operations related to the Internal Revenue 
Service (IRS) assessing Flight Options LLC (Flight Options) for excise taxes. 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 and recorded a $25 million gain, net of federal tax expense, in discontinued 
operations.

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, 2015 was $250 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, 2015, 
retentions were $50 million. We anticipate collecting $9 million of these retentions in 2016 and the balance thereafter.

years using either a straight-line or accelerated amortization method based on the pattern of economic benefits we expect to 
realize from such assets. Amortization expense for other intangible assets was $113 million, $58 million and $60 million in 
2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Computer software and other intangible asset amortization expense is expected to be approximately $199 million in 2016,

In 2001, we formed the TRS joint venture with Thales S.A. 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 three operating subsidiaries, one of which, Thales-Raytheon Systems LLC (TRS LLC), we control and consolidate, 
and the other two, Thales-Raytheon Systems Company S.A.S. (TRS SAS) and Thales-Raytheon Systems Air and Missile 
Defense Command and Control S.A.S. (TRS AMDC2), previously called Air Command Systems International S.A.S., which 
we account for using the equity method through our investment in TRS, all of which are reflected in our Integrated Defense 
Systems (IDS) segment. Of the $99 million investment in TRS, $89 million represents undistributed earnings at December 31, 
2015. 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. At December 31, 2015, TRS LLC had $16 million of receivables due from TRS AMDC2.

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.

In November 2015, we entered into a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility maturing in November 2020 and terminated the 
previous $1.4 billion credit facility entered into in December 2011. Under the $1.25 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, 2015, borrowings 
would generally bear interest at LIBOR plus 80.5 basis points. The credit facility is composed of commitments from 20 
separate highly rated lenders, each committing no more than 10% of the facility. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 
2014 there were no borrowings outstanding under these credit facilities. We had no outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 
2015 and $2 million of outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2014, which effectively reduced our borrowing capacity 
under the credit facility by that amount. 

Under the $1.4 billion and $1.25 billion credit facilities 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 2015 and 2014. 
Our ratio of total debt to total capitalization, as those terms are defined in the credit facility, was 34.5% at December 31, 2015. 
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 long-term debt was $232 million, $209 million and $210 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, 
respectively.

Rent expense was $236 million, $225 million and $248 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In the normal course 
of business, we lease equipment, office buildings and other facilities under leases that include standard escalation clauses for 
adjusting rent payments to reflect changes in price indices, as well as renewal options.

At December 31, 2015, we had commitments under agreements to outsource a portion of our information technology function, 
which have minimum annual payments of approximately $15 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, in our consolidated balance sheets. 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.

credit and surety bonds to meet various bid, performance, warranty, retention and advance payment obligations of us or our 
affiliates. These instruments expire on various dates through 2024. 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 $203 million and $187 million, respectively, at December 31, 
2015, and $196 million and $244 million, respectively, at December 31, 2014, 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  meet  their  obligations  described  above. At 
December 31, 2015, we believe the risk that TRS and other affiliates will not be able to meet their obligations is minimal for 
the  foreseeable  future  based  on  their  current  financial  condition. All  obligations  were  current  at  December  31,  2015. At 
December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had an estimated liability of $8 million and $9 million, respectively, related 
to these guarantees and letters of credit.

In 2001, we formed the TRS joint venture with Thales S.A. See additional background on the TRS joint venture in "Note 9: 
Other Assets, Net" within Item 8 of this Form 10-K. On December 24, 2015 Thales S.A. and Raytheon entered into a letter 
agreement relating to the joint venture agreement for the TRS joint venture (excluding Thales-Raytheon Systems Air and 
Missile Defense Command and Control S.A.S (TRS AMDC2), previously called Air Command Systems International S.A.S). 
The letter agreement contemplates that the parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to amend the joint venture 
agreement on or before June 30, 2016 to reduce its existing scope of work to NATO-only business opportunities involving 
air command and control systems. In connection with the contemplated changes, we will reacquire Thales S.A.'s noncontrolling 
interest in Thales-Raytheon Systems LLC (TRS LLC) and sell our equity method interest in TRS SAS, with a net payment 
due to Thales S.A. totaling $90 million based on the relative values and undistributed earnings of TRS LLC and TRS SAS. 
Any gain or loss resulting from the transactions contemplated by the letter agreement will be recognized upon completion of 
a definitive agreement and resolution of all contingencies which is expected to occur on or before June 30, 2016. The TRS 
joint venture will continue to operate under the current structure until the close of the transactions. 

We have an approximately $400 million international classified contract that did not achieve certain contractual milestones 
in 2015. We are working with the customer to complete the milestones quickly and we currently do not expect to be terminated 
on the program. However, if we were terminated for default, it could result in a write-off currently estimated at $180–$200 
million.

As discussed in "Note 5: Forcepoint Joint Venture", under the joint venture agreement between Raytheon Company and Vista 
Equity Partners, Raytheon may be required to purchase Vista Equity Partners' interest in Forcepoint.

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, 2015, the aggregate amount 
of our offset agreements had an outstanding notional value of approximately $5.5 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 

99

 
   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

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 (DCAA); the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA); the Inspector 
General of the U.S. Department of Defense (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 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 Foreign Corrupt 
Practices Act (FCPA) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)) 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. 

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.

revenue upon delivery.

From time to time, our Board of Directors authorizes the repurchase of shares of our common stock. In September 2011, our 
Board  authorized  the  repurchase  of  up  to  $2.0  billion  of  our  outstanding  common  stock.  Our  Board  also  authorized  the 
repurchase of up to an additional $2.0 billion of our outstanding common stock in November 2013 and up to another additional 
$2.0 billion of our outstanding common stock in November 2015. At December 31, 2015, we had approximately $2.5 billion 
available under the 2015 and 2013 repurchase programs. Share repurchases will take place from time to time at management’s 
discretion depending on market conditions. 

Share repurchases also include shares surrendered by employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with 
restricted stock, RSUs, stock options and LTPP awards issued to employees.

per share. Our Board of Directors declared dividends of $2.68, $2.42 and $2.20 per share in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. 
Dividends are subject to quarterly approval by our Board of Directors.

Note 13: Stock-based Compensation Plans
The Raytheon 2010 Stock Plan provides for shares to be issued as stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, 
RSUs or stock grants, including awards based on performance criteria. The plan authorizes the issuance of 7.5 million shares 
in addition to shares available under certain prior plans of the Company. The total maximum number of shares originally 
authorized for issuance under the 2010 Stock Plan and those certain prior plans is 41.8 million. The 2010 Stock Plan provides 
that awards to our employees, officers and consultants are generally made by the Management Development and Compensation 
Committee of our Board of Directors (MDCC) and are compensatory in nature, while awards to our non-employee directors 
are made by the Board's Governance and Nominating Committee. 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 shares under the 2010 Stock 
Plan. At December 31, 2015 there were 7.0 million shares available for new awards and 4.7 million shares outstanding.

At December 31, 2015, there was $156 million of compensation expense related to nonvested awards not yet recognized 
which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
Restricted stock 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 grant 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 grant, is charged to income as compensation expense 
generally over the vesting period with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital.

RSUs also vest over a specified period of time as determined by the MDCC, are compensatory in nature and are primarily 
awarded to retirement eligible employees. Retirement eligible recipients of RSUs are entitled to full dividend rights beginning 
on the date of grant. In addition, RSUs granted to retirement eligible employees continue to vest, but do not accelerate, on 
the scheduled vesting dates into retirement subject to the recipient's compliance with certain post-employment covenants. 
Since recipients of RSUs with continued vesting provisions have satisfied the service requirement of the award at the date of 
grant, the Company recognizes all of the stock-based compensation expense associated with the RSUs awarded to retirement 
eligible employees in the period the award is granted. 

Restricted stock and RSU activity was as follows:

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. Recipients of LTPP awards have no voting rights and receive dividend equivalent units. The vesting of LTTP 
awards and related dividend equivalent units is based upon the achievement of specific pre-established levels of performance 
at the end of a three-year performance cycle. In the event of a retirement, vesting for awards will not accelerate and instead 
will vest in accordance with the original vesting conditions on a pro-rated basis.

The performance goals for the three outstanding performance cycles at December 31, 2015, 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%. Depending on the achievement of these metrics, a recipient of the award is entitled to receive a 
number of ordinary shares equal to a percentage, ranging from zero to 200% of the award granted.

Compensation  expense  for  the  awards  is  recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  from  the  grant  date  through  the  end  of  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. Compensation expense for the CFCF 
and ROIC portions of the awards will be adjusted based upon the expected achievement of those performance goals.

The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo model for the TSR portion of the awards granted during each year were as follows:

Expected stock price volatility

Peer group stock price volatility

In the third quarter of 2015, Forcepoint established long-term incentive plans that provide for awards of unit appreciation 
rights and profits interests in the joint venture to Forcepoint management and key employees. Awards are approved by the 
Board of Forcepoint. These awards vest over a specified period of time and settlement is subject to a liquidity event defined 
as either a change in control or an initial public offering of the joint venture. In 2015, Forcepoint issued 12 thousand unit 
appreciation rights, all of which remained outstanding at December 31, 2015. Also in 2015, Forcepoint issued 53 thousand 
profits interests, 1 thousand of which were forfeited and 52 thousand of which remained outstanding at December 31, 2015. 
The fair value of the awards is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model and compensation expense is recognized 
over the requisite service period when achievement of the liquidity event is considered probable. No compensation expense 
has been recognized for these plans to date.

The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model and the weighted-average grant date fair value for the

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. There were no stock options outstanding at December 31, 2015.

Note 14: 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 (PRB) plans.

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 
contributions. Total expense for our contributions was $276 million, $274 million and $279 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, 
respectively.

At December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there was $14.6 billion and $14.9 billion invested in our defined contribution 
plan, respectively. At December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion of these amounts were invested 
in our stock fund, respectively.

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:

and December 31, 2014, respectively, related to the nonqualified defined contribution plans. The liabilities related to the 
nonqualified defined contribution plans were $337 million and $327 million at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 
respectively.

We also maintain additional contractual pension benefits agreements for certain executive officers. The liability associated 
with such agreements was $38 million and $39 million at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 (ROA) 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.

   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

In July 2012, the Surface Transportation Extension 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 phased out this 
interest rate provision beginning in 2013. Subsequent to the STE Act, the Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 
(HATFA) and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (BBA) further extended this interest rate provision until 2020, at which time 
the provision is gradually phased out.

The projected benefit obligation (PBO) represents the present value of Pension Benefits earned through the end of the year, 
with an allowance for future salary increases. The accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) is similar to the PBO, but does not 
provide for future salary increases. The PBO, ABO and asset values for our domestic qualified pension plans were as follows:

The weighted-average year-end benefit obligation discount rate for our domestic Pension Benefits plans was 4.47% and 4.08% 
at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 

109

 
 
 
 
 
   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

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 the Actuarial Standard of Practice No. 
27, Selection of Economic Assumptions for Measuring Pension Obligations (ASOP 27) in effect at the time. Therefore, it is 
less than 25% 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% likely that the long-term return of the pension plan will be within the 25th and 75th percentile 
range). In September 2013, the Actuarial Standards Board issued a revision to 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, effective for our 2015 and future years assumptions, we 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. 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 2015, 2014 and 2013, are shown below.

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

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–60th percentile of the reasonable range for 2015 with the 50th percentile at 7.37%. In addition, when we updated 
our target asset allocation and our long-term ROA assumption changed from 8.75% to 8.0%, we assessed what our historical 
asset performance may have been since 1986 using the updated target allocation and concluded the average return would 
likely have been equal to or greater than 8.0% for the time period from 1986 through 2014.

110

   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

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. 

Our domestic pension plans’ actual rates of return were approximately 0%, 6% and 15% for 2015, 2014 and 2013, 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 U.S. 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% 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 $6 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. 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.

The investment policy asset allocation ranges for the Plan, as set by the Investment Committee, for the year ended December 31, 
2015 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%
5%–22%
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 investment 

111

   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

professionals, 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 optimizing return on investment while taking into account investment risks that are prudent 
and reasonable given prevailing market conditions, multiple investment strategies are employed to diversify risk such that no 
single  investment  or  manager  holding  represents  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 broad market diversification. The Plan 
had $2.2 billion invested in such funds across three indices as of December 31, 2015. Other than funds that track an index, 
no individual investment strategy represented more than 5% of the Plan as of December 31, 2015. 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, private real estate funds and other commingled funds 
are estimated at fair market value, which primarily utilizes net asset values reported by the investment manager or fund 
administrator.  We  review  additional  valuation  and  pricing  information  from  fund  managers,  including  audited  financial 
statements, to evaluate the net asset values.

(5)  Securitized and structured credit include fixed-income funds and securities that 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, and other fixed income related securities.

(6)  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.

(7)  Receivables, payables and certain investments that are valued using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been 
classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to 
the amount presented for the total domestic pension benefits plan assets.

A reconciliation of investments with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) has not been provided as the amounts are 
immaterial.

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 less than $1 million and $(7) million as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 
2014, 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 $837 million and $868 million at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 PRB Benefits was $380 million and $418 million as of December 31, 2015 and 
December  31, 2014,  respectively.  These  assets  included  $169  million  and  $185  million  at  December  31, 2015  and 
December 31, 2014, 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, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

In December 2015, U.S. legislation was enacted to permanently reinstate the Research & Development tax credit (R&D tax 
credit) which had expired on December 31, 2014. In the fourth quarter of 2015, we recorded a full year benefit of approximately 
$33 million related to the 2015 R&D tax credit. In 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. In the second quarter of 2015 the IRS completed the examination for the 2013 
tax year, which completed all examinations through 2013. As a result of closing federal and state audit examinations, our 
unrecognized tax benefits decreased by approximately $100 million, inclusive of interest, the majority of which impacted 
income from continuing operations. We continue to participate in the CAP program for the 2014 and 2015 tax years. We are 
also under audit by multiple state and foreign tax authorities.

During 2014, a foreign subsidiary authorized and completed a transaction which resulted in a taxable dividend of approximately 
$115 million. The transaction did not affect our indefinite reinvestment assertion because it generated a net tax benefit of 
approximately $80 million.

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.

At  December  31, 2015,  foreign  earnings  of  approximately  $688  million  have  been  retained  by  foreign  subsidiaries  for 
reinvestment. 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 made the following net tax payments during the years ended December 31:

We believe that our income tax reserves are adequate; however, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater or 
less than amounts accrued and reflected in our consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, we could record adjustments to the 
amounts for federal, foreign and state tax-related liabilities in the future as we revise estimates or we settle or otherwise resolve 
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 $7 million and $104 million at December 31, 2015 and 
December 31, 2014, 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, 2015, December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we 
had $2 million, $6 million and $5 million of interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits, which, net of the federal 
tax benefit, was approximately $0.5 million, $4 million and $3 million, respectively.

A rollforward of our unrecognized tax benefits was as follows:

With the exception of Forcepoint, we generally account for our state income tax expense as a deferred contract cost, to the 
extent we can 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 $28 
million, $41 million and $42 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We include state income tax expense allocated to 
our contracts in administrative and selling expenses.

As of December 3 1, 2015, we had U.S. federal and State net operating loss carryforwards related to Forcepoint of approximately 
$155 million and $114 million, respectively, which expire at various dates through 2034. We also had foreign net operating 
loss carryforwards of approximately $133 million, with the majority generated in the U.K. where net operating losses may 
be carried forward indefinitely. We believe that we have sufficient taxable income to realize these deferred tax assets.

The tax expense (benefit) related to discontinued operations was $(14) million, $23 million and $(5) million in 2015, 2014 
and 2013, respectively.

Forcepoint is a global provider of information technology security products and related services designed to protect commercial 
and government organizations and their customers and other users from external and internal threats, including modern cyber-
threats, advanced malware attacks, information leaks, legal liability and productivity loss. Forcepoint is a joint venture company 
(with Vista Equity Partners) created in May 2015 through a series of transactions by which Raytheon acquired Websense from 
Vista Equity Partners and combined it with RCP, formerly part of the IIS segment, and then sold a minority interest in the 
combined company to Vista Equity Partners. The new company combines Raytheon's advanced cybersecurity technologies 
and  Websense's  industry-leading  TRITON  platform  to  provide  defense-grade  cybersecurity  solutions  to  domestic  and 
international customers.

The amounts, discussion and presentation of our business segments, including Corporate and eliminations for intersegment 
activity, set forth in this Form 10-K, reflect the Forcepoint transaction. The Forcepoint results reflect RCP results for all periods 
and Websense results after the acquisition date of May 29, 2015. 

Segment total net sales and operating income generally include intersegment sales and profit recorded at cost plus a specified 
fee, which may differ from what the selling entity would be able to obtain on sales to external customers. Eliminations includes 
intersegment sales and profit eliminations. Corporate operating income includes expenses that represent unallocated costs 
and certain other corporate costs not considered part of management’s evaluation of reportable segment operating performance.

We must calculate our pension and PRB costs under both FAS requirements under U.S. GAAP and CAS. U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP and our pension and PRB expense under CAS.

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, 2015.

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, 2015 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, 2015  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 2015 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal 
control over financial reporting.
