Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We prepared these consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. We followed the accounting policies disclosed in the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (2014 Form 10-K) filed with the SEC.

In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, accounting for sales and cost recognition, postretirement benefit plans, environmental receivables and liabilities, evaluation of goodwill and other assets for impairment, income taxes including deferred tax assets, fair value measurements and contingencies. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of subsidiaries we control and variable interest entities if we are the primary beneficiary. We eliminate intercompany balances and transactions in consolidation.

We close our books and records on the last Sunday of the calendar quarter, which was on June 28 for the second quarter of 2015 and June 29 for the second quarter of 2014, to align our financial closing with our business processes. The consolidated financial statements and tables of financial information included herein are labeled based on that convention. This practice only affects interim periods as our fiscal year ends on December 31.

The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or future periods. Unless otherwise noted, we present all per share amounts cited in these consolidated financial statements on a “per diluted share” basis. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2014 Form 10-K.

NOTE 2 – STRATEGIC ACTIONS

Acquisition of Sikorsky Aircraft

On July 20, 2015, we announced that we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Sikorsky Aircraft (Sikorsky), a global company engaged in the design, manufacture and support of military and commercial helicopters, for $9.0 billion of cash, subject to certain adjustments. We expect to fund the acquisition with a combination of new debt issuances and available cash. We and United Technologies Corporation have agreed to make a joint election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code, which treats the transaction as an asset purchase for tax purposes. This election generates a cash tax benefit with an estimated net present value of $1.9 billion for Lockheed Martin and its shareholders. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2015 or the first quarter of 2016. Once the acquisition is complete, we plan to align Sikorsky under our Mission Systems and Training (MST) business segment. Our financial results will not include Sikorsky’s results until the acquisition is closed.

Strategic Review of Government IT and Technical Services Businesses

On July 20, 2015, we also announced that we will conduct a strategic review of our government IT infrastructure services business within our Information Systems & Global Solutions (IS&GS) business segment and our technical services business within our Missiles and Fire Control (MFC) business segment. The programs to be reviewed represent approximately $6.0 billion in estimated 2015 annual sales and approximately 17,000 employees. We expect the strategic review to result in a spin-off to our shareholders or sale of these businesses. The IS&GS programs that are not included in the strategic review are mostly focused on defense and intelligence customers and will be realigned into our other business segments following completion of the review. We expect to complete the strategic review in 2015. While we perform our strategic review, we will maintain the current operating and reporting structure and will continue to report the financial results of the government IT infrastructure services and technical services businesses in our continuing operations.

We compute basic and diluted earnings per common share by dividing net earnings by the respective weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods presented. Our calculation of diluted earnings per common share also includes the dilutive effects for the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and exercise of outstanding stock options based on the treasury stock method. There were no anti-dilutive equity awards for the quarters and six months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014.

NOTE 4 – INFORMATION ON BUSINESS SEGMENTS

We operate in five business segments: Aeronautics, IS&GS, MFC, MST and Space Systems. We organize our business segments based on the nature of the products and services offered.

Net sales of our business segments exclude intersegment sales as these activities are eliminated in consolidation. Operating profit of our business segments includes our share of earnings or losses from equity method investees as the operating activities of the equity method investees are closely aligned with the operations of our business segments. United Launch Alliance (ULA), which is part of our Space Systems business segment, is our primary equity method investee. Operating profit of our business segments excludes the FAS/CAS pension adjustment described below; expense for stock-based compensation; the effects of items not considered part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance, such as charges related to significant severance actions (Note 9, under the caption “Restructuring Charges”) and goodwill impairments; gains or losses from divestitures; the effects of certain legal settlements; corporate costs not allocated to our business segments; and other miscellaneous corporate activities. These items are included in the reconciling item “Unallocated items” between operating profit from our business segments and our consolidated operating profit. See Note 9 (under the caption “Changes in Estimates”) for a discussion related to certain factors that may impact the comparability of net sales and operating profit of our business segments.

Our business segments’ results of operations include pension expense only as calculated under U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), which we refer to as CAS pension cost. We recover CAS pension cost through the pricing of our products and services on U.S. Government contracts and, therefore, the CAS pension cost is recognized in each of our business segments’ net sales and cost of sales. Since our consolidated financial statements must present pension expense calculated in accordance with the financial accounting standards (FAS) requirements under GAAP, which we refer to as FAS pension expense, the FAS/CAS pension adjustment increases or decreases the CAS pension cost recorded in our business segments’ results of operations to equal the FAS pension expense.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

The recognized net actuarial losses and the amortization of net prior service (credits) costs in the table above, as well as similar amounts related to our other postretirement benefit plans ($15 million and $28 million for the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2015 and $10 million and $19 million for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2014), reflect amounts that were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) and recorded as a component of net periodic benefit cost for the periods presented. These costs totaled $213 million (net of $116 million of tax expense) and $425 million (net of $232 million of tax expense) for the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2015 and $167 million (net of $92 million of tax expense) and $334 million (net of $183 million of tax expense) for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2014, which were recorded on our Statements of Comprehensive Income as an increase to other comprehensive income.

The funding of our qualified defined benefit pension plans is determined in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA), and in a manner consistent with CAS and Internal Revenue Code rules. There were no contributions to our qualified defined benefit pension plans during the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2015, compared to $515 million in contributions to our qualified defined benefit pension plans during the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2014. We do not plan to make contributions to our qualified defined benefit pension plans in 2015.

NOTE 7 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are a party to or have property subject to litigation and other proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business, including matters arising under provisions relating to the protection of the environment and are subject to contingencies related to certain businesses we previously owned. These types of matters could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary relief. We believe that the probability is remote that the outcome of each of these matters, including the legal proceedings described below, will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation as a whole, notwithstanding that the unfavorable resolution of any matter may have a material effect on our net earnings in any particular interim reporting period. Among the factors that we consider in this assessment are the nature of existing legal proceedings and claims, the asserted or possible damages or loss contingency (if estimable), the progress of the case, existing law and precedent, the opinions or views of legal counsel and other advisers, our experience in similar cases and the experience of other companies, the facts available to us at the time of assessment and how we intend to respond to the proceeding or claim. Our assessment of these factors may change as individual proceedings or claims progress.

Although we cannot predict the outcome of legal or other proceedings with certainty, where there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred, GAAP requires us to disclose an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss or make a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. We follow a thorough process in which we seek to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss before we conclude and disclose that an estimate cannot be made. With respect to the legal proceedings discussed below, a reasonably possible loss or range of loss cannot be estimated.

Legal Proceedings

On April 24, 2009, we filed a declaratory judgment action against the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority and its Capital Construction Company (collectively, the MTA) asking the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to find that the MTA is in material breach of our agreement based on the MTA’s failure to provide access to sites where work must be performed and the customer-furnished equipment necessary to complete the contract. The MTA filed an answer and counterclaim alleging that we breached the contract and subsequently terminated the contract for alleged default. The primary damages sought by the MTA are the cost to complete the contract and potential re-procurement costs. While we are unable to estimate the cost of another contractor to complete the contract and the costs of re-procurement, we note that our contract with the MTA had a total value of $323 million, of which $241 million was paid to us, and that the MTA is seeking damages of approximately $190 million. We dispute the MTA’s allegations and are defending against them. Additionally, following an investigation, our sureties on a performance bond related to this matter, who were represented by independent counsel, concluded that the MTA’s termination of the contract was improper. Finally, our declaratory judgment action was later amended to include claims for monetary damages against the MTA of approximately $95 million. This matter was taken under submission by the District Court in December 2014 after a five-week bench trial and the filing of post-trial pleadings by the parties. We expect a decision in the third quarter of 2015.

Lockheed Martin Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

On August 28, 2003, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) filed complaints in partial intervention in two lawsuits filed under the civil qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, United States ex rel. Natural Resources Defense Council, et al., v. Lockheed Martin Corporation, et al., and United States ex rel. John D. Tillson v. Lockheed Martin Energy Systems, Inc., et al. The DOJ alleges that we committed violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant by not properly handling, storing and transporting hazardous waste, and that we violated the False Claims Act by misleading Department of Energy officials and state regulators about the nature and extent of environmental noncompliance at the plant. The complaint does not allege a specific calculation of damages. In April 2013, the parties attended a settlement conference ordered by the magistrate judge. The conference focused on the parties’ sharply differing views of the merits of the case and did not significantly contribute to our understanding of the damages sought. In December 2014, the parties participated in confidential mediation pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 408. The plaintiffs made settlement demands at this mediation but these were not tied to any theory of damages, were not apportioned between the False Claims Act and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act allegations (as to which our defenses differ) and did not provide insight into what damages plaintiffs would seek to prove if this matter proceeds to trial. Consequently, we continue to be unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss, which could be incurred if the plaintiffs were to prevail, but we believe we have substantial defenses. We anticipate filing motions, including a motion for summary judgment, in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Environmental Matters

We are involved in environmental proceedings and potential proceedings relating to soil and groundwater contamination, disposal of hazardous waste and other environmental matters at several of our current or former facilities or at third-party sites where we have been designated as a potentially responsible party (PRP). A substantial portion of environmental costs will be included in our net sales and cost of sales in future periods pursuant to U.S. Government regulations. At the time a liability is recorded for future environmental costs, we record a receivable for estimated future recovery considered probable through the pricing of products and services to agencies of the U.S. Government, regardless of the contract form (e.g., cost-reimbursable, fixed-price). We continuously evaluate the recoverability of our environmental receivables by assessing, among other factors, U.S. Government regulations, our U.S. Government business base and contract mix and our history of receiving reimbursement of such costs. We include the portion of those environmental costs expected to be allocated to our non-U.S. Government contracts, or that is determined to not be recoverable under U.S. Government contracts, in our cost of sales at the time the liability is established.

At June 28, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the aggregate amount of liabilities recorded relative to environmental matters was $955 million and $965 million, most of which are recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on our Balance Sheets. We have recorded receivables totaling $827 million and $836 million at June 28, 2015 and December 31, 2014, most of which are recorded in other noncurrent assets on our Balance Sheets, for the estimated future recovery of these costs, as we consider the recovery probable based on the factors previously mentioned. We project costs and recovery of costs over approximately 20 years.

We also are pursuing claims for recovery of costs incurred or contribution to site cleanup costs against other PRPs, including the U.S. Government, and are conducting remediation activities under various consent decrees and orders relating to soil, groundwater, sediment or surface water contamination at certain sites of former or current operations. Under an agreement related to our Burbank and Glendale, California, sites, the U.S. Government reimburses us an amount equal to approximately 50% of expenditures for certain remediation activities in its capacity as a PRP under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA).

Our environmental liabilities could be impacted by regulations with respect to the contaminants perchlorate and hexavalent chromium. California is currently reevaluating its existing drinking water standard with respect to perchlorate. In February 2015, California’s health risk agency announced a non-enforceable public health goal for perchlorate that California’s regulatory agency must consider when promulgating an enforceable drinking water standard. The goal calls for maximum perchlorate levels significantly below those allowed under the current standard imposed by California. In addition, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) is considering whether to regulate perchlorate in drinking water and is also considering whether to impose standards for hexavalent chromium. If substantially lower standards are adopted for perchlorate in either California or at the federal level or if the U.S. EPA were to adopt a standard for hexavalent chromium lower than California’s recently adopted standard of 10 parts per billion, we expect a material

increase in our estimates for environmental liabilities and the related assets for the portion of the increased costs that are probable of future recovery in the pricing of our products and services for the U.S. Government. The amount that would be allocable to our non-U.S. Government contracts or that is determined to not be recoverable under U.S. Government contracts would be expensed, which may have a material effect on our earnings in any particular interim reporting period.

Letters of Credit, Surety Bonds and Third-Party Guarantees

We have entered into standby letters of credit, surety bonds and third-party guarantees with financial institutions and other third parties primarily relating to advances received from customers and the guarantee of future performance on certain contracts. Letters of credit and surety bonds generally are available for draw down in the event we do not perform. In some cases, we may guarantee the contractual performance of third parties such as venture partners. We had total outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and third-party guarantees aggregating $2.6 billion and $2.4 billion at June 28, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

At June 28, 2015 and December 31, 2014, third-party guarantees totaled $1.1 billion and $774 million, of which approximately 90% and 85% related to guarantees of contractual performance of ventures to which we currently are or previously were a party. This amount represents our estimate of the maximum amount we would expect to incur upon the contractual non-performance of the venture partners. In addition, we generally have cross-indemnities in place that may enable us to recover amounts that may be paid on behalf of a venture partner. We believe our current and former venture partners will be able to perform their obligations, as they have done through June 28, 2015, and that it will not be necessary to make payments under the guarantees. In determining our exposures, we evaluate the reputation, performance on contractual obligations, technical capabilities and credit quality of our current and former venture partners.

United Launch Alliance

In connection with our 50% ownership interest of ULA, we and The Boeing Company (Boeing) have each received distributions from ULA, including distributions of $527 million that we and Boeing have each received (since ULA’s formation in December 2006) which are subject to agreements between us, Boeing and ULA, whereby, if ULA does not have sufficient cash resources or credit capacity to make required payments under the inventory supply agreement it has with Boeing, both we and Boeing would provide to ULA, in the form of an additional capital contribution, the level of funding required for ULA to make those payments. Any such capital contributions would not exceed the amount of the distributions subject to the agreements. Based on current expectations of ULA’s cash flow needs, we currently believe that ULA should have sufficient operating cash flows and credit capacity, including access to its $560 million revolving credit agreement from third-party financial institutions, to meet its obligations such that we will not be required to make a contribution under these agreements.

In addition, both we and Boeing have cross-indemnified each other for guarantees by us and Boeing of the performance and financial obligations of ULA under certain launch service contracts. We believe ULA will be able to fully perform its obligations, as it has done through June 28, 2015, and that it will not be necessary to make payments under the cross-indemnities or guarantees.

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following (in millions):

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Substantially all assets measured at fair value, other than derivatives, represent investments classified as trading securities held in a separate trust to fund certain of our non-qualified deferred compensation plans and are recorded in other noncurrent assets on our Balance Sheets. The fair values of equity securities and mutual funds are determined by reference to the quoted market price per unit in active markets multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. The fair values of U.S. Government and other securities are determined using pricing models that use observable inputs (e.g., interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals), bids provided by brokers or dealers or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. The fair values of derivative instruments, which consist of foreign currency exchange forward and interest rate swap contracts, primarily are determined based on the present value of future cash flows using model-derived valuations that use observable inputs such as interest rates, credit spreads and foreign currency exchange rates. We did not have any transfers of assets or liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 28, 2015.

We use derivative instruments principally to reduce our exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We do not enter into or hold derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes. We transact business globally and are subject to risks associated with changing foreign currency exchange rates. We enter into foreign currency hedges such as forward and option contracts that change in value as foreign currency exchange rates change. These contracts hedge forecasted foreign currency transactions in order to mitigate fluctuations in our earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We designate foreign currency hedges as cash flow hedges. We also are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. For fixed rate borrowings, we may use variable interest rate swaps, effectively converting fixed rate borrowings to variable rate borrowings in order to reduce the amount of interest paid. These swaps are designated as fair value hedges. For variable rate borrowings, we may use fixed interest rate swaps, effectively converting variable rate borrowings to fixed rate borrowings in order to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes on earnings. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. We also may enter into derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges and do not qualify for hedge accounting, which are intended to mitigate certain economic exposures.

The aggregate notional amount of our outstanding interest rate swaps at both June 28, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $1.3 billion. The aggregate notional amount of our outstanding foreign currency hedges at June 28, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $1.3 billion and $804 million. Derivative instruments did not have a material impact on net earnings and comprehensive income during the quarters and six months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014. Substantially all of our derivatives are designated for hedge accounting.

In addition to the financial instruments listed in the table above, we hold other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and debt. The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximated their fair values. The estimated fair value of our outstanding debt was $9.6 billion and $7.9 billion at June 28, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and the outstanding principal amount was $9.3 billion and $7.0 billion at June 28, 2015 and December 31, 2014, excluding unamortized discounts of $884 million and $872 million. The estimated fair values of our outstanding debt were determined based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets (Level 2).

NOTE 9 – OTHER

Changes in Estimates

Accounting for contracts using the percentage-of-completion method requires judgment relative to assessing risks, estimating contract sales and costs (including estimating award and incentive fees and penalties related to performance) and making assumptions for schedule and technical issues. Due to the number of years it may take to complete many of our contracts and the scope and nature of the work required to be performed on those contracts, estimating total sales and costs at completion is complicated and subject to many variables and, accordingly estimates are subject to change. When adjustments in estimated total contract sales or estimated total costs are required, any changes from prior estimates are recognized in the current period for the inception-to-date effect of such changes. When estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed estimates of total sales to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which the loss is determined.


				15

Lockheed Martin Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Many of our contracts span several years and include highly complex technical requirements. At the outset of a contract, we identify and monitor risks to the achievement of the technical, schedule and cost aspects of the contract and assess the effects of those risks on our estimates of total costs to complete the contract. The estimates consider the technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product), the schedule and associated tasks (e.g., the number and type of milestone events) and costs (e.g., material, labor, subcontractor, overhead and the estimated costs to fulfill our industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset agreements, required under certain contracts with international customers). The initial profit booking rate of each contract considers risks surrounding the ability to achieve the technical requirements, schedule and costs in the initial estimated total costs to complete the contract. Profit booking rates may increase during the performance of the contract if we successfully retire risks surrounding the technical, schedule and cost aspects of the contract which decreases the estimated total costs to complete the contract. Conversely, our profit booking rates may decrease if the estimated total costs to complete the contract increase. All of the estimates are subject to change during the performance of the contract and may affect the profit booking rate.

Comparability of our segment sales, operating profit and operating margins may be impacted favorably or unfavorably by changes in profit booking rates on our contracts accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Increases in the profit booking rates, typically referred to as risk retirements, usually relate to revisions in the estimated total costs that reflect improved conditions on a particular contract. Conversely, conditions on a particular contract may deteriorate resulting in an increase in the estimated total costs to complete and a reduction in the profit booking rate. Increases or decreases in profit booking rates are recognized in the current period and reflect the inception-to-date effect of such changes. Segment operating profit and margins may also be impacted favorably or unfavorably by other items. Favorable items may include the positive resolution of contractual matters, cost recoveries on restructuring charges, insurance recoveries and gains on sales of assets. Unfavorable items may include the adverse resolution of contractual matters; restructuring charges, except for significant severance actions which are excluded from segment operating results; reserves for disputes; asset impairments; and losses on sales of assets. Our consolidated net adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments and other matters, increased segment operating profit by $550 million and $1.0 billion for the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2015 and $440 million and $965 million for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2014. These adjustments increased net earnings by $355 million ($1.12 per share) and $675 million ($2.12 per share) for the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2015 and $285 million ($.88 per share) and $625 million ($1.93 per share) for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2014.

Restructuring Charges

Fourth Quarter 2013 Action

In November 2013, we committed to a plan to close and consolidate certain facilities and reduce our total workforce by approximately 4,000 positions within our IS&GS, MST and Space Systems business segments. This plan resulted from a strategic review of our facility capacity and future workload projections for these businesses and was intended to better align our organization and cost structure and improve the affordability of our products and services given the changes in U.S. Government spending as well as the rapidly changing competitive and economic landscape. As of June 28, 2015, we have paid approximately $135 million in severance payments associated with this action, of which $28 million was paid during the six months ended June 28, 2015.

In connection with our plan to consolidate facilities, during the quarter ended June 28, 2015, we sold two properties in California and received aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $70 million. Gains on the sales have been deferred and will be recognized in future periods after 2015 once our continuing involvement associated with the properties has been completed.

We also expect to incur total accelerated costs (e.g., accelerated depreciation expense related to long-lived assets at the sites to be closed) and incremental costs (e.g., relocation of equipment and other employee related costs) of approximately $15 million, $50 million and $190 million at our IS&GS, MST and Space Systems business segments. As of June 28, 2015, we have incurred total accelerated and incremental costs of $174 million, inclusive of amounts incurred during the six months ended June 28, 2015. The accelerated and incremental costs are recorded as incurred in cost of sales on our Statements of Earnings and included in the respective business segment’s results of operations.


				16

Lockheed Martin Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

The remaining payments associated with the severance and incremental costs are expected to be substantially paid by the end of 2015. We expect to recover a substantial amount of the restructuring charges through the pricing of our products and services to the U.S. Government and other customers, with the impact included in the respective business segment’s results of operations.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rates were 30.8% and 30.7% for the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2015 and 33.7% and 32.2% for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2014. The rates for all periods benefited from tax deductions for U.S. manufacturing activities and for dividends paid to our defined contribution plans with an employee stock ownership plan feature. The effective tax rates for the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2015 were lower than the prior year periods primarily due to tax reserve adjustments recorded in the quarter ended June 29, 2014. The effective rates during all periods did not include a benefit from the U.S. research and development tax credit because the credit had expired.

We made net income tax payments of approximately $500 million and $560 million during the six months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014. The 2014 payments are net of $200 million in tax refunds primarily attributable to our tax-deductible pension contributions made during the quarter ended December 31, 2013.

Stockholders’ Equity

Repurchases of Common Stock

During the six months ended June 28, 2015, we repurchased 7.9 million shares of our common stock for $1.5 billion. We had total remaining authorization of $2.1 billion for future common share repurchases under our program as of June 28, 2015. As we repurchase our common shares, we reduce common stock for the $1 of par value of the shares repurchased, with the excess purchase price over par value recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. If additional paid-in capital is reduced to zero, we record the remainder of the excess purchase price over par value as a reduction of retained earnings.

Dividends

We declared cash dividends totaling $942 million ($3.00 per share) and $1.4 billion ($4.50 per share) during the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2015. The 2015 dividend amounts include the declaration of our 2015 third quarter dividend of $1.50 per share, which totaled $471 million. We declared cash dividends totaling $856 million ($2.66 per share) and $1.3 billion ($3.99 per share) during the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2014. The 2014 dividend amounts include the declaration of our 2014 third quarter dividend of $1.33 per share, which totaled $428 million.

Restricted Stock Unit Grants

In January 2015, we granted certain employees approximately 0.6 million restricted stock units (RSUs) with a grant-date fair value of $192.28 per RSU. The grant-date fair value of these RSUs is equal to the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date less a discount to reflect the delay in payment of dividend-equivalent cash payments that are made only upon vesting, which is generally three years from the grant date. We recognize the grant-date fair value of RSUs, less estimated forfeitures, as compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is shorter than the vesting period if the employee is retirement eligible on the date of grant or will become retirement eligible before the end of the vesting period.

Reclassifications from AOCL related to our postretirement benefit plans were recorded as a component of net periodic benefit cost for each period presented (Note 6). These amounts include $213 million and $167 million for the quarters ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014, which are comprised of the recognition of net actuarial losses of $277 million and $153 million for the quarters ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 and the amortization of net prior service (credits) costs of $(64) million and $14 million for the quarters ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014.

^(b)

Changes in AOCL before reclassifications in 2014 related to our postretirement benefit plans include net actuarial losses from the re-measurement of substantially all our defined benefit pension plans in June 2014 and prior service credits from the June 2014 plan amendments to freeze future retirement benefits in certain of our qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans for non-union employees.

Long-term Debt

On February 20, 2015, we issued $2.25 billion of notes in a registered public offering consisting of $750 million maturing in 2025 with a fixed interest rate of 2.90%, $500 million maturing in 2035 with a fixed interest rate of 3.60% and $1.0 billion maturing in 2045 with a fixed interest rate of 3.80%. We may, at our option, redeem some or all of the notes at any time by paying the principal amount of notes being redeemed plus any make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Interest on the notes is payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2015. These notes rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new standard that will change the way we recognize revenue and significantly expand the disclosure requirements for revenue arrangements. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of the standard to 2018 for public companies, with an option that would permit companies to adopt the standard as early as the original effective date of 2017. Early adoption prior to the original effective date is not permitted. The new standard may be adopted either retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis whereby the new standard would be applied to new contracts and existing contracts with remaining performance obligations as of the effective date, with a cumulative catch-up adjustment recorded to beginning retained

earnings at the effective date for existing contracts with remaining performance obligations. In addition, the FASB is contemplating making additional changes to certain elements of the new standard. We are currently evaluating the methods of adoption allowed by the new standard and the effect the standard is expected to have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. As the new standard will supersede substantially all existing revenue guidance affecting us under GAAP, it could impact revenue and cost recognition on thousands of contracts across all our business segments, in addition to our business processes and our information technology systems. As a result, our evaluation of the effect of the new standard will extend over future periods.

Review Report of Ernst & Young LLP,

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors

Lockheed Martin Corporation

We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Lockheed Martin Corporation as of June 28, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income for the quarters and six months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014, and the consolidated statements of cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the six months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Lockheed Martin Corporation as of December 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for the year then ended (not presented herein), and we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements in our report dated February 9, 2015. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

We are a global security and aerospace company principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. We also provide a broad range of management, engineering, technical, scientific, logistics and information services. We serve customers globally with products and services that have defense, civil and commercial applications, with our principal customers being agencies of the U.S. Government. In 2014, 79% of our $45.6 billion in net sales were from the U.S. Government, either as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor (including 59% from the Department of Defense (DoD)), 20% were from international customers (including foreign military sales (FMS) contracted through the U.S. Government) and 1% were from U.S. commercial and other customers. Our main areas of focus are in defense, space, intelligence, homeland security and information technology, including cybersecurity.

The following discussion is a supplement to and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (2014 Form 10-K).

INDUSTRY CONSIDERATIONS

U.S. Government Funding Constraints

The following is an update of events related to our industry and business environment since the filing of our 2014 Form 10-K.

On February 2, 2015, the President submitted a budget proposal for government fiscal year (GFY) 2016 (a U.S. Government fiscal year starts on October 1 and ends on September 30), which included $534 billion for the DoD’s annual budget, about $35 billion more than the spending limits under the Budget Control Act of 2011 (Budget Control Act). The budget proposal also provides for an additional $51 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) spending. In May 2015, the GFY 2016 concurrent budget resolution was passed by both houses of Congress that outlines total defense spending levels that meet the amount requested under the President’s GFY 2016 budget proposal. The budget

resolutions achieve the total defense spending level by retaining the Budget Control Act spending limits on the Defense Department’s base budget while increasing funding for OCO operations. As the U.S. Government’s current fiscal year

comes to a close on September 30, 2015, Congress will need to pass a new appropriations measure or a continuing resolution to keep the U.S. Government operating and avoid a government shutdown. We anticipate that there will continue to be a significant debate within the U.S. Government over defense spending throughout the budget process for GFY 2016 and beyond.

The Temporary Debt Limit Extension Act suspended the limit on the maximum amount of debt that the Department of Treasury can issue to the public and other agencies (commonly known as the debt ceiling) through March 15, 2015. On March 16, 2015, the outstanding debt of the U.S. reached the debt ceiling. To avoid exceeding the debt ceiling, the Department of Treasury began employing measures to finance the U.S. Government. It is expected that in late 2015 the U.S. Government will reach the current debt ceiling limit and Congress will need to raise this debt limit in order for the U.S. Government to continue borrowing money. Should the Administration and Congress fail to adopt legislation that raises the debt limit, it is not clear how the U.S. Department of Treasury or individual agencies would prioritize which obligations would be honored and which would be deferred. In such an event, there could be significant disruption to all discretionary programs. Although we believe that key defense, intelligence and homeland security programs would receive priority, the effect on individual programs or Lockheed Martin cannot be predicted at this time.

The Budget Control Act established limits on discretionary spending, which provided for reductions to planned defense spending of $487 billion over a 10-year period that began with GFY 2012. The Budget Control Act also

provided for additional automatic spending reductions, known as sequestration, that would have reduced planned defense spending by an additional $500 billion over a nine-year period that began in GFY 2013. In December 2013, Congress passed the Bipartisan Budget Act, which increased the limits on discretionary spending for GFY 2015. However, it retained sequestration cuts for GFYs 2016 through 2021, including the across-the-board spending reduction methodology provided for in the Budget Control Act. As a result, there remains uncertainty regarding how sequestration cuts beyond GFY 2015 will be applied, as the DoD and other agencies may have significantly less flexibility in how to apply budget cuts in future years. While the defense budget sustained the largest single reductions under the Budget Control Act, other civil agencies and programs have also been impacted by significant spending reductions. In light of the Budget Control Act and deficit reduction pressures, it is likely that discretionary spending by the U.S. Government will remain constrained for a number of years.

Cyber Security

In late May 2015, as a result of ongoing efforts to secure its systems, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) discovered an incident affecting background investigation records of current, former, and prospective Federal employees and contractors. Subsequently, on July 9, 2015, as a result of an interagency forensics investigation into the cyber incident, OPM announced that the background investigation records of 21.5 million current, former and prospective Federal employees and contractors had been compromised. Many of our employees were the subjects of background investigations in connection with former government service or as part of the screening process for a security clearance. We are currently assessing the impact of this cyber-security incident but do not yet know the impact, if any, on Lockheed Martin or our employees.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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


	Quarters Ended								Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2015				June 29, 2014				June 28, 2015				June 29, 2014

Certain amounts reported in other income, net, primarily our share of earnings or losses from equity method investees, are included in the operating profit of our business segments. Accordingly, such amounts are included in the discussion of our business segment results of operations.

Net Sales

We generate sales from the delivery of products and services to our customers. Product sales are predominantly generated in our Aeronautics, MFC, MST and Space Systems business segments and most of our service sales are generated in our IS&GS and MFC business segments. Our consolidated net sales were as follows (in millions):


	Quarters Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2015			June 29, 2014			June 28, 2015			June 29, 2014
Products		$	9,157		$	8,980		$	17,010		$	17,390
Services			2,486			2,326			4,744			4,566
Total net sales		$	11,643		$	11,306		$	21,754		$	21,956

Substantially all of our contracts are accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method. Under the percentage-of-completion method, we record net sales on contracts based upon our progress towards completion on a particular contract, as well as our estimate of the profit to be earned at completion. The following discussion of material changes in our consolidated net sales should be read in tandem with the following discussion of changes in our consolidated cost of sales and our business segment results of operations because changes in our sales are typically accompanied by a corresponding change in our cost of sales due to the nature of the percentage-of-completion method.

Product Sales

Our product sales represent about 80% of our net sales for both the quarters ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014. Product sales increased $177 million, or 2%, during the quarter ended June 28, 2015, compared to the quarter ended June 29, 2014. Higher product sales of about $110 million at Space Systems, approximately $100 million at Aeronautics and about $60 million at MST were partially offset by decreased product sales of about $60 million at MFC.


				23

Lockheed Martin Corporation

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations (continued)

The increase at Space Systems was primarily due to higher volume for the Orion program. The increase at Aeronautics was primarily attributable to increased aircraft deliveries (C-5 program) and increased volume on F-35 production contracts. The increase at MST was primarily driven by the start of new programs (primarily Space Fence). The decrease at MFC was primarily due to fewer deliveries for various air and missile defense programs (primarily Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3)).

Our product sales represent about 80% of our net sales for both the six months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014. Product sales decreased $380 million, or 2%, during the six months ended June 28, 2015, compared to the six months ended June 29, 2014. Lower product sales of about $370 million at MFC and approximately $155 million at Aeronautics were partially offset by increased product sales of about $115 million at Space Systems and approximately $95 million at MST. The decrease at MFC was primarily due to fewer deliveries for various air and missile defense programs (primarily PAC-3) and fewer deliveries for various tactical missile programs (primarily Hellfire and Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS)). The decrease at Aeronautics was primarily attributable to fewer aircraft deliveries (C-130 and F-16 programs) partially offset by increased volume on F-35 production contracts. The increases at Space Systems and MST were attributable to items which impacted product sales for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 as mentioned above.

Service Sales

Our service sales represent approximately 20% of our net sales for both the quarters ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014. Service sales increased $160 million, or 7%, during the quarter ended June 28, 2015 compared to the quarter ended June 29, 2014. Higher service sales of about $175 million at Aeronautics and approximately $70 million at Space Systems were partially offset by decreased service sales of about $50 million at MFC. The increase at Aeronautics was driven by increased sustainment activities on the F-35 program. The increase at Space Systems was due to businesses acquired in the second half of 2014. The decrease at MFC was due to lower volume on various technical services programs.

Our service sales represent approximately 20% of our net sales for both the six months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014. Our service sales increased $178 million, or 4%, during the six months ended June 28, 2015, compared to the six months ended June 29, 2014. Higher service sales of about $180 million at Aeronautics and approximately $165 million at Space Systems were partially offset by decreased service sales of about $110 million at MFC. The net increase in service sales was attributable to the items which impacted service sales for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 as mentioned above.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales, for both products and services, consist of materials, labor, subcontracting costs, an allocation of indirect costs (overhead and general and administrative), as well as the costs to fulfill our industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset agreements, required under certain contracts with international customers. For each of our contracts, we monitor the nature and amount of costs at the contract level, which form the basis for estimating our total costs to complete the contract. Our consolidated cost of sales were as follows (in millions):


	Quarters Ended								Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2015				June 29, 2014				June 28, 2015				June 29, 2014
Cost of sales - products		$	(8,102	)		$	(7,930	)		$	(15,053	)		$	(15,269	)
% of product sales			88.5	%			88.3	%			88.5	%			87.8	%
Cost of sales - services			(2,216	)			(2,063	)			(4,167	)			(4,013	)
% of service sales			89.1	%			88.7	%			87.8	%			87.9	%
Other unallocated, net			46				28				100				38
Total cost of sales		$	(10,272	)		$	(9,965	)		$	(19,120	)		$	(19,244	)

The following discussion of material changes in our consolidated cost of sales for products and services should be read in tandem with the preceding discussion of changes in our consolidated net sales and our business segment results of operations. We have not identified any developing trends in cost of sales for products and services that would have a material impact on our future operations.

Product Costs

Product costs increased $172 million, or 2%, during the quarter ended June 28, 2015, compared to the quarter ended June 29, 2014. Product costs increased approximately $135 million at Aeronautics and about $75 million at Space Systems, partially offset by lower product costs of about $35 million due to various net decreases at our other business areas. The increase at Aeronautics was primarily attributable to increased aircraft deliveries (primarily C-5 program) and increased volume on F-35 production contracts. The increase at Space Systems was primarily attributable to higher volume on the Orion program. Product costs were comparable at MST due to the start of new programs (primarily Space Fence) offset by the decrease from reserves recorded in 2014 on certain training and logistics solutions programs that were not repeated in 2015.

Product costs decreased $216 million, or 1%, during the six months ended June 28, 2015, compared to the six months ended June 29, 2014. Lower product costs of about $250 million at MFC and approximately $75 million at Aeronautics were partially offset by higher product costs of about $60 million at MST and approximately $55 million at Space Systems. The decrease at MFC was primarily driven by fewer deliveries for various air and missile defense programs (primarily PAC-3) and tactical missile programs (primarily Hellfire and GMLRS). The decrease at Aeronautics was primarily attributable to fewer aircraft deliveries (C-130 and F-16 programs) partially offset by increased volume on F-35 production contracts. The increase at MST was primarily driven by the start of new programs (primarily Space Fence). The increase at Space Systems was primarily due to higher volume for the Orion program. The 0.7% increase in product costs as a percentage of product sales for the six months ended June 28, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2014 was primarily due to items impacting our product costs at MFC and Aeronautics as mentioned above.

Service Costs

Service costs increased $153 million, or 7%, during the quarter ended June 28, 2015 as compared to the quarter ended June 29, 2014. The increase was primarily due to higher service costs of about $155 million at Aeronautics and about $75 million at Space Systems partially offset by decreased service costs at MFC of about $65 million. The increase at Aeronautics was primarily attributable to increased volume and sustainment activities on the F-35 program. The increase at Space Systems was primarily driven by increased service costs related to businesses acquired during the second half of 2014. The decrease in service costs at MFC was primarily due to lower volume for various technical services programs.

Service costs increased $154 million, or 4%, during the six months ended June 28, 2015, compared to the six months ended June 29, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to higher service costs of about $170 million at Space Systems and about $145 million at Aeronautics partially offset by decreased service costs of about $135 million at MFC. The net increase in service costs was primarily driven by the items impacting service costs for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 as mentioned above.

Other Unallocated, Net

Other unallocated, net primarily includes the FAS/CAS pension adjustment described in the Business Segment Results of Operations section below, stock-based compensation and other corporate costs. These items are not allocated to the business segments and, therefore, are excluded from the cost of sales for products and services. Other unallocated, net was $46 million and $100 million of income for the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2015 compared to $28 million and $38 million of income for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2014.

The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in the FAS/CAS pension adjustment, partially offset by fluctuations in other costs associated with various corporate items, none of which were individually significant. The change in the FAS/CAS pension adjustment was attributable to the decrease in FAS pension expense resulting from the June 2014 plan amendments to certain of our defined benefit pension plans to freeze future retirement benefits, which was partially offset by the impact of new longevity (also known as mortality) assumptions adopted in 2014 and a lower discount rate.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net primarily includes our share of earnings or losses from equity method investees. For the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2015, other income, net was $74 million and $167 million, compared to $85 million and $146 million for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2014. The changes were primarily attributable to fluctuations in our share of earnings from equity method investees, as discussed in the “Business Segment Results of Operations” section below.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2015 was $104 million and $197 million compared to $85 million and $171 million for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2014. The increase in both periods was primarily due to increased interest expense from the issuance of $2.25 billion of long-term debt in the quarter ended March 29, 2015.

Other Non-Operating Income, Net

Other non-operating income, net for the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2015 was comparable to the respective prior periods.

Income Tax Expense

Future changes in tax law could significantly impact our provision for income taxes, the amount of taxes payable and our deferred tax asset and liability balances. Proposals to lower the U.S. corporate income tax rate would require us to reduce our net deferred tax assets upon enactment of new tax legislation, with a corresponding material, one-time, non-cash increase in income tax expense, but our income tax expense and payments would be materially reduced in subsequent years. Our net deferred tax assets were $5.5 billion as of both June 28, 2015 and December 31, 2014, based on a 35% Federal statutory income tax rate, and primarily relate to our postretirement benefit plans. If legislation reducing the Federal statutory income tax rate to 25% had been enacted at June 28, 2015, our net deferred tax assets would have been reduced by $1.6 billion and we would have recorded a corresponding one-time, non-cash increase in income tax expense of $1.6 billion. This additional expense would be less if the legislation phased in the tax rate reduction or if the final rate was higher than 25%. The amount of net deferred tax assets will change periodically based on several factors, including the measurement of our postretirement benefit plan obligations and actual cash contributions to our postretirement benefit plans.

Net Earnings

Net earnings for the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2015 were $929 million ($2.94 per share) and $1.8 billion ($5.68 per share) compared to $889 million ($2.76 per share) and $1.8 billion ($5.63 per share) for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2014. Both net earnings and earnings per share were affected by the factors mentioned above. Earnings per share also benefited from the net decrease of common shares outstanding from June 29, 2014.

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We operate in five business segments: Aeronautics, IS&GS, MFC, MST and Space Systems. We organize our business segments based on the nature of the products and services offered.


				26

Lockheed Martin Corporation

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations (continued)

Our business segments’ results of operations include pension expense only as calculated under U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), which we refer to as CAS pension cost. We recover CAS pension cost through the pricing of our products and services on U.S. Government contracts and, therefore, the CAS pension cost is recognized in each of our business segments’ net sales and cost of sales. Since our consolidated financial statements must present pension expense calculated in accordance with the financial accounting standards (FAS) requirements under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which we refer to as FAS pension expense, the FAS/CAS pension adjustment increases or decreases the CAS pension cost recorded in our business segments’ results of operations to equal the FAS pension expense.

Summary operating results for each of our business segments were as follows (in millions):

Management evaluates performance on our contracts by focusing on net sales and operating profit and not by type or amount of operating expense. Consequently, our discussion of business segment performance focuses on net sales and operating profit, consistent with our approach for managing the business. This approach is consistent throughout the life

Lockheed Martin Corporation

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations (continued)

cycle of our contracts, as management assesses the bidding of each contract by focusing on net sales and operating profit and monitors performance on our contracts in a similar manner through their completion.

We regularly provide customers with reports of our costs as the contract progresses. The cost information in the reports is accumulated in a manner specified by the requirements of each contract. For example, cost data provided to a customer for a product would typically align to the subcomponents of that product (such as a wing-box on an aircraft) and for services would align to the type of work being performed (such as help-desk support). Our contracts generally are cost-based, which allows for the recovery of costs in the pricing of our products and services. Most of our contracts are bid and negotiated with our customers under circumstances in which we are required to disclose our estimated total costs to provide the product or service. This approach for negotiating contracts with our U.S. Government customers generally allows for the recovery of our costs. We also may enter into long-term supply contracts for certain materials or components to coincide with the production schedule of certain products and to ensure their availability at known unit prices.

Changes in net sales and operating profit generally are expressed in terms of volume. Changes in volume refer to increases or decreases in sales or operating profit resulting from varying production activity levels, deliveries or service levels on individual contracts. Changes in volume also include the effect of fluctuations in contract profit booking rates that have occurred in reporting periods other than those presented in the comparative segment results. Volume changes in segment operating profit are typically based on the current profit booking rate for a particular contract.

Comparability of our segment sales, operating profit and operating margins may be impacted favorably or unfavorably by changes in profit booking rates on our contracts accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Increases in the profit booking rates, typically referred to as risk retirements, usually relate to revisions in the estimated total costs that reflect improved conditions on a particular contract. Conversely, conditions on a particular contract may deteriorate resulting in an increase in the estimated total costs to complete and a reduction in the profit booking rate. Increases or decreases in profit booking rates are recognized in the current period and reflect the inception-to-date effect of such changes. Segment operating profit and margins may also be impacted favorably or unfavorably by other items. Favorable items may include the positive resolution of contractual matters, cost recoveries on restructuring charges, insurance recoveries and gains on sales of assets. Unfavorable items may include the adverse resolution of contractual matters; restructuring charges, except for significant severance actions (Note 9, under the caption “Restructuring Charges”) which are excluded from segment operating results; reserves for disputes; asset impairments; and losses on sales of assets. Segment operating profit and items such as risk retirements, reductions of profit booking rates or other matters are presented net of state income taxes.

Our consolidated net adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments and other matters, net of state income taxes, increased segment operating profit by approximately $550 million and $1.0 billion for the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2015 and $440 million and $965 million for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2014. The consolidated net adjustments for the six months ended June 28, 2015 include lower operating profit for performance matters on an international program at IS&GS, as mentioned in our business segment results of operations below.

Aeronautics

Summary operating results for our Aeronautics business segment were as follows (in millions):


	Quarters Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2015			June 29, 2014			June 28, 2015			June 29, 2014
Net sales		$	4,131		$	3,855		$	7,265		$	7,241
Operating profit			444			453			815			846
Operating margins			10.7%			11.8%			11.2%			11.7%

Aeronautics’ net sales for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 increased $276 million, or 7%, compared to the quarter ended June 29, 2014. The increase was attributable to higher net sales of about $280 million for F-35 production contracts due to increased volume on aircraft production and sustainment activities; and approximately $150 million for the C-5 program due to increased aircraft deliveries (four aircraft delivered during the quarter ended June 28, 2015 compared to two delivered during the quarter ended June 29, 2014). The increases were partially offset by lower net sales of approximately $90 million for the C-130 program due to lower sustainment activities and aircraft contract mix; and about $45 million for the F-22 program due to decreased sustainment activities. Net sales for F-35 development contracts were comparable.

Aeronautics’ operating profit for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 decreased $9 million, or 2%, compared to the quarter ended June 29, 2014. Operating profit decreased by approximately $55 million for the C-130 program due to lower risk retirements and aircraft contract mix; and approximately $15 million for the F-22 program due to decreased risk retirements and lower sustainment activities. These decreases were partially offset by higher operating profit of approximately $30 million for the F-16 program due to increased risk retirements; and about $30 million for F-35 production contracts due to higher risk retirements and volume. Adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments, were $30 million higher for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 compared to the quarter ended June 29, 2014.

Aeronautics’ net sales for the six months ended June 28, 2015 were comparable to the six months ended June 29, 2014. Net sales increased by approximately $455 million for F-35 production contracts due to increased volume on aircraft production and sustainment activities; and about $60 million for the C-5 program due to increased aircraft deliveries (five aircraft delivered during the six months ended June 28, 2015 compared to four delivered during the six months ended June 29, 2014). The increases were offset by lower net sales of approximately $225 million for the C-130 program due primarily to fewer aircraft deliveries (ten aircraft delivered during the six months ended June 28, 2015 compared to 11 delivered during the six months ended June 29, 2014), aircraft contract mix and lower sustainment activities; about $105 million for the F-16 program due to decreased sustainment activities and fewer aircraft deliveries (six aircraft delivered during the six months ended June 28, 2015 compared to eight aircraft delivered during the six months ended June 29, 2014); approximately $95 million for the F-22 program due to decreased sustainment activities; and about $50 million due to lower volume on various other sustainment activities. Net sales for F-35 development contracts were comparable.

Aeronautics’ operating profit for the six months ended June 28, 2015 decreased $31 million, or 4%, compared to the six months ended June 29, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower operating profit of approximately $85 million for the C-130 program due to fewer aircraft deliveries, aircraft contract mix and lower risk retirements. The decreases were partially offset by higher operating profit of approximately $55 million for the F-35 production contracts due to increased risk retirements and volume. Adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments, were $35 million higher for the six months ended June 28, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2014.

The decline in operating margins for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 and for the six months ended June 28, 2015 reflects the change in Aeronautics’ program mix, as sales for programs that yield lower operating profit margins were a larger portion of total net sales (primarily F-35 and C-5 programs).

We expect Aeronautics’ 2015 net sales to be comparable or slightly behind 2014, primarily due to a decline in F-16 deliveries as well as a decline in F-35 System Development and Demonstration development activity, largely offset by an

increase in F-35 production and sustainment volume as well as additional C-5 aircraft deliveries. Operating profit is also expected to be comparable or slightly behind 2014, due primarily to lower sustainment activities on F-16, F-22, and C-130 aircraft, largely offset by higher F-35 low-rate initial production risk retirements and sustainment volume, resulting in a comparable operating margin between years.

Summary operating results for our IS&GS business segment were as follows (in millions):


	Quarters Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2015			June 29, 2014			June 28, 2015			June 29, 2014
Net sales		$	1,898		$	1,941		$	3,767		$	3,851
Operating profit			160			175			296			349
Operating margins			8.4%			9.0%			7.9%			9.1	%

IS&GS’ net sales decreased $43 million, or 2%, for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 compared to the quarter ended June 29, 2014. The decrease was attributable to lower net sales of approximately $160 million due to decreased volume as a result of in-theater force reductions (including Persistent Threat Detection System (PTDS)), lower customer funding levels (primarily command and control programs), and increased competition coupled with the fragmentation of existing large contracts into multiple smaller contracts that are awarded primarily on the basis of price when re-competed (including CMS-CITIC). The decreases were partially offset by higher net sales of approximately $60 million for businesses acquired in the second half of 2014; and about $55 million due to increased volume on recently awarded programs.

IS&GS’ operating profit for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 decreased $15 million, or 9%, compared to the quarter ended June 29, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to the activities mentioned above for net sales. Adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments, for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 were comparable to the quarter ended June 29, 2014.

IS&GS’ net sales decreased $84 million, or 2%, for the six months ended June 28, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2014. The decrease was attributable to lower net sales of approximately $320 million due to decreased volume as a result of in-theater force reductions (including PTDS), lower customer funding levels (primarily command and control programs), and increased competition coupled with the fragmentation of existing large contracts into multiple smaller contracts that are awarded primarily on the basis of price when re-competed (including CMS-CITIC). The decreases were partially offset by higher net sales of approximately $140 million for businesses acquired in the second half of 2014; and about $95 million due to increased volume on recently awarded programs.

IS&GS’ operating profit for the six months ended June 28, 2015 decreased $53 million, or 15%, compared to the six months ended June 29, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower operating profit of approximately $70 million for performance matters on an international program; and additional amortization expense of about $20 million related to intangible assets associated with recently acquired businesses. The decreases were partially offset by higher operating profit of approximately $35 million due to risk retirements on various programs and increased volume on recently awarded programs. Adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments, were $30 million lower for the six months ended June 28, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2014.

We expect IS&GS’ net sales to decline in 2015 in the mid-single digit percentage range as compared to 2014, primarily driven by the continued downturn in federal information technology budgets, an increasingly competitive environment, including the disaggregation of existing contracts, and new contract award delays, partially offset by increased sales resulting from acquisitions that occurred during the prior year. Operating profit is expected to decline in the low-to-mid teens percentage range in 2015 primarily driven by volume, performance matters on an international program during the first quarter of the year, and an increase in intangible amortization from 2014 acquisition activity, resulting in 2015 margins that are lower than 2014 results.

Summary operating results for our MFC business segment were as follows (in millions):


	Quarters Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2015			June 29, 2014			June 28, 2015			June 29, 2014
Net sales		$	1,777		$	1,891		$	3,280		$	3,758
Operating profit			303			345			595			703
Operating margins			17.1%			18.2%			18.1%			18.7	%

MFC’s net sales for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 decreased $114 million, or 6%, compared to the quarter ended June 29, 2014. The decrease was attributable to lower net sales of approximately $115 million for air and missile defense programs due to fewer deliveries (including PAC-3) and reduced development activities (primarily Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS)).

MFC’s operating profit for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 decreased $42 million, or 12%, compared to the quarter ended June 29, 2014. The decrease was attributable to lower operating profit of approximately $30 million for fire control programs due to lower risk retirements and volume (including Apache), and about $25 million for air and missile defense programs due to lower risk retirements (primarily PAC-3). Adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments, were approximately $40 million lower for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 compared to the quarter ended June 29, 2014.

MFC’s net sales for the six months ended June 28, 2015 decreased $478 million, or 13%, compared to the six months ended June 29, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower sales of approximately $230 million for air and missile defense programs due to fewer deliveries (including PAC-3) and reduced development activities (primarily MEADS); about $150 million for tactical missile programs due to fewer deliveries (primarily Hellfire, GMLRS, and Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM)); and approximately $125 million for fire control programs due to fewer deliveries (including LANTIRN^®, Sniper^® and Apache).

MFC’s operating profit for the six months ended June 28, 2015 decreased $108 million, or 15%, compared to the six months ended June 29, 2014. The decrease was attributable to lower operating profit of approximately $55 million for fire control programs due to lower risk retirements and fewer deliveries (including LANTIRN^®, Sniper^®, and Apache); and about $50 million for tactical missile programs due to lower risk retirements and volume (primarily GMLRS and Hellfire) partially offset by a warranty reserve adjustment recorded during the second quarter of 2014 that was not repeated in 2015 (primarily JASSM). Adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments, were approximately $65 million lower for the six months ended June 28, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2014.

We expect MFC’s net sales to decline in the mid-single digit percentage range in 2015 as compared to 2014, primarily due to a decline in the services business as a result of the increased competitive environment and a slight decline in our air and missile defense programs. Operating profit is expected to decrease in the high-single digit percentage range, driven by reduced volume and fewer risk retirements in 2015 compared to 2014. Accordingly, operating profit margin is expected to decline from 2014 levels.

Operating profit			234			185			453			435
Operating margins			12.9%			10.4%			13.1%			12.8	%

MST’s net sales for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 increased $37 million, or 2%, compared to the quarter ended June 29, 2014. Net sales increased by approximately $90 million for integrated warfare systems and sensors programs due to the start of new programs (primarily Space Fence) and higher volume (including Aegis). These increases were partially offset by lower net sales of approximately $75 million for ship and aviation systems programs primarily due to decreased volume (including Merlin Capability Sustainment Program (MCSP)).

MST’s operating profit for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 increased $49 million, or 26%, compared to the quarter ended June 29, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to higher operating profit of approximately $50 million due to reserves recorded in 2014 on certain training and logistics solutions programs that were not repeated in 2015; about $20 million for integrated warfare systems and sensors programs due to increased risk retirements (primarily Halifax Class Modernization); partially offset by lower operating profit of approximately $20 million for ship and aviation systems programs due to lower risk retirements and volume (including naval launchers). Adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments and other matters, were approximately $50 million higher for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 compared to the quarter ended June 29, 2014.

MST’s net sales for the six months ended June 28, 2015 increased $60 million, or 2%, compared to the six months ended June 29, 2014. Net sales increased by approximately $200 million for integrated warfare systems and sensors programs due to the start of new programs (primarily Space Fence) and volume (including Aegis); and about $55 million for undersea systems due to an increase in deliveries on various programs. These increases were partially offset by lower net sales of approximately $195 million for ship and aviation systems programs due to lower volume (including MCSP) and fewer deliveries (primarily MH-60).

MST’s operating profit for the six months ended June 28, 2015 increased $18 million, or 4%, compared to the six months ended June 29, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to higher operating profit of approximately $50 million for training and logistics solutions programs due to reserves recorded during the second quarter of 2014 that were not repeated in 2015. These increases were partially offset by lower operating profit of approximately $40 million for ship and aviation systems programs due to decreased risk retirements (including naval launchers) and lower volume. Adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments and other matters, were approximately $10 million higher for the six months ended June 28, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2014.

We expect MST’s 2015 net sales to be comparable to 2014 net sales, with increased volume from new program starts, specifically Space Fence and the Combat Rescue and Presidential Helicopter programs; offset by a decline in volume due to the wind-down or completion of certain programs. Operating profit and margins are also expected to be comparable to 2014 levels.

Operating profit			259				248				547				502
Operating margins			12.8	%			13.4	%			13.7	%			13.5	%

Space Systems’ net sales for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 increased $181 million, or 10%, compared to the quarter ended June 29, 2014. The increase was attributable to higher net sales of approximately $105 million for the Orion program due to increased volume; and about $80 million for businesses acquired in the second half of 2014.

Space Systems’ operating profit for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 increased $11 million, or 4%, compared to the quarter ended June 29, 2014. The increase was attributable to higher operating profit of approximately $55 million for government satellite programs due to increased risk retirements (primarily Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) and Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS)). The increases were partially offset by lower operating profit of approximately $40 million primarily due to lower equity earnings for joint ventures. Adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments and other matters, were approximately $75 million higher for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 compared to the quarter ended June 29, 2014.

Space Systems’ net sales for the six months ended June 28, 2015 increased $276 million, or 7%, compared to the six months ended June 29, 2014. The increase was attributable to higher net sales of approximately $210 million for the Orion program due to increased volume; and about $170 million for businesses acquired in the second half of 2014. These increases were partially offset by lower net sales of approximately $60 million for government satellite programs due to decreased volume (primarily Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF)); and about $30 million for strategic and defensive missile systems due to decreased volume.

Space Systems’ operating profit for the six months ended June 28, 2015 increased $45 million, or 9%, compared to the six months ended June 29, 2014. The increase was attributable to higher operating profit of about $65 million for government satellite programs due to increased risk retirements (primarily MUOS and SBIRS) partially offset by lower volume (AEHF); and approximately $30 million for the Orion program due to higher volume and risk retirements. These increases were partially offset by lower operating profit of about $50 million due to decreased equity earnings for joint ventures and other program activities. Adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments and other matters, were approximately $125 million higher for the six months ended June 28, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2014.

Total equity earnings recognized by Space Systems (primarily ULA) represented approximately $40 million, or 15%, and approximately $115 million, or 21%, of this business segment’s operating profit for the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2015, compared to approximately $80 million, or 32%, and $150 million, or 30% for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2014.

We expect Space Systems’ net sales to decline in the low-single digit percentage range in 2015 as compared to 2014, primarily due to lower delivery-based sales in 2015. Operating profit is expected to decline in the mid-to-high single digit percentage range, primarily driven by lower equity earnings in 2015 compared to 2014. As a result, operating profit margin is expected to decline between the years.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Cash Flows

We have a balanced cash deployment strategy to enhance stockholder value and position ourselves to take advantage of new business opportunities when they arise. Consistent with that strategy, we have continued to invest in our business, including capital expenditures, independent research and development and have made selective business acquisitions, while returning cash to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases, and managing our debt levels, maturities and interest rates.

We have generated strong operating cash flows, which have been the primary source of funding for our operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service and repayments, dividends, share repurchases and postretirement benefit plan contributions. We have accessed the capital markets on limited occasions, as needed or when opportunistic as we did in February 2015 when we issued $2.25 billion of long-term debt. We expect our cash from operations will continue to be sufficient to support our operations and anticipated capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. As mentioned in the “Capital Resources” section below, we have financing resources available to fund potential cash outflows that are less predictable or more discretionary, should they occur. We also have access to credit markets, if needed, for liquidity or general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, our revolving credit facility or the ability to issue commercial paper, and letters of credit to support customer advance payments and for other trade finance purposes such as guaranteeing our performance on particular contracts.

As mentioned in the “Business Overview” section, on July 20, 2015, we announced that we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Sikorsky for $9.0 billion of cash, subject to certain adjustments. We expect to fund the acquisition through a combination of new debt issuances and available cash. This transaction will not change our previously outlined plan to return cash to shareholders through dividends and stock repurchases, and to reduce outstanding share count to below 300 million shares by 2017, market conditions and our fiduciary obligations permitting.

The following table provides a summary of our cash flow information followed by a discussion of the key elements (in millions):


	Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2015				June 29, 2014
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of year		$	1,446			$	2,617
Operating activities
Net earnings			1,807				1,822
Non-cash adjustments			579				576
Changes in working capital			(1,095	)			106
Other, net			929				573
Net cash provided by operating activities			2,220				3,077
Net cash used for investing activities			(218	)			(426	)
Net cash used for financing activities			(246	)			(1,832	)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents			1,756				819
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period		$	3,202			$	3,436

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $857 million for the six months ended June 28, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2014 primarily due to changes in working capital, partially offset by lower pension contributions. The $1.2 billion decrease in cash flows related to working capital (defined as receivables and inventories less accounts payable and customer advances and amounts in excess of costs incurred) was attributable to an increase in receivables due to timing of customer collections (primarily F-35 contracts) as well as the timing of production and billing cycles affecting customer advances and progress payments applied to inventories. We made no pension contributions to our qualified defined benefit pension plans during the six months ended June 28, 2015, compared to $515 million during the six months ended June 29, 2014.

Investing Activities

Net cash used for investing activities was $218 million for the six months ended June 28, 2015 compared to net cash used for investing activities of $426 million for the six months ended June 29, 2014. The decrease was attributable to cash proceeds of approximately $70 million related to two properties sold in California during the quarter ended June 28, 2015. In addition, during the six months ended June 29, 2014, we paid $172 million related to the acquisitions of businesses and investments in affiliates. Capital expenditures amounted to $309 million and $253 million for the six months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014. The majority of our capital expenditures were for equipment and facilities infrastructure that generally are incurred to support new and existing programs across all of our business segments. We also incur capital expenditures for information technology to support programs and general enterprise information technology infrastructure, inclusive of costs for the development or purchase of internal-use software.

Financing Activities

Net cash used for financing activities was $246 million for the six months ended June 28, 2015 compared to net cash used for financing activities of $1.8 billion for the six months ended June 29, 2014. The difference between the periods was primarily due to proceeds received from the February 2015 debt issuance, partially offset by higher share repurchases of common stock, lower cash received from the issuance of common stock in connection with employee stock option exercises, and higher dividends paid.

On February 20, 2015, we received proceeds of $2.21 billion for the issuance of $2.25 billion of fixed interest-rate long-term notes.

Cash received from the issuance of our common stock in connection with employee stock option exercises during the six months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 totaled $84 million and $223 million. Those exercises resulted in the issuance of 1.1 million and 2.6 million shares of our common stock.

We paid $1.5 billion and $1.2 billion to repurchase 7.9 million and 7.7 million shares of our common stock during the six months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014.

During the six months ended June 28, 2015, we paid dividends totaling $965 million, which included our 2015 first and second quarter dividends ($1.50 per share each quarter) and dividend-equivalent cash payments associated with the vesting of the January 2012 restricted stock unit grants. During the six months ended June 29, 2014, we paid dividends totaling $865 million, which included our 2014 first and second quarter dividends ($1.33 per share each quarter) and dividend-equivalent cash payments associated with the vesting of the January 2011 restricted stock unit grants.

Capital Resources

At June 28, 2015, we held cash and cash equivalents of $3.2 billion. As of June 28, 2015, approximately $600 million of our cash and cash equivalents was held outside of the U.S. by our international subsidiaries. Although those balances are generally available to fund ordinary business operations without legal or other restrictions, a significant portion is not immediately available to fund U.S. operations unless repatriated. Our intention is to permanently reinvest earnings from our international subsidiaries. While we do not intend to do so, if this cash had been repatriated at June 28, 2015, the amount of additional U.S. federal income tax that would be due after considering international tax credits would not be significant.

Our outstanding debt, net of unamortized discounts, amounted to $8.4 billion, which is inclusive of the issuance of the $2.25 billion notes in February 2015 (Note 9 under the caption “Long-term Debt”), and mainly is in the form of publicly-issued notes that bear interest at fixed rates. As of June 28, 2015, we were in compliance with all covenants contained in our debt and credit agreements. There were no other material changes during the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2015 to our contractual commitments as presented in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our 2014 Form 10-K that were outside the ordinary course of our business.

Lockheed Martin Corporation

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations (continued)

At June 28, 2015, we had a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks that expires in August 2019. We may request and the banks may grant, at their discretion, an increase to the credit facility up to an additional $500 million. The credit facility also includes a sublimit of up to $300 million available for the issuance of letters of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility through June 28, 2015. We also have agreements in place with financial institutions to provide for the issuance of commercial paper. There were no commercial paper borrowings outstanding through June 28, 2015. If we were to issue commercial paper, the borrowings would be supported by the credit facility. We also have an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to provide for the issuance of an indeterminate amount of debt securities.

Our stockholders’ equity was $3.0 billion at June 28, 2015, a decrease of $418 million from December 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to the repurchase of 7.9 million common shares for $1.5 billion and dividends declared of $1.4 billion during the six months ended June 28, 2015. These decreases were partially offset by net earnings of $1.8 billion, the amortization of $425 million in 2015 postretirement benefit plan expense, and employee stock activity of $321 million (including the impacts of stock option exercises, ESOP activity and stock-based compensation). As we repurchase our common shares, we reduce common stock for the $1 of par value of the shares repurchased, with the excess purchase price over par value recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. If additional paid-in capital is reduced to zero, we record the remainder of the excess purchase price over par value as a reduction of retained earnings.

OTHER MATTERS

Status of the F-35 Program

The F-35 program consists of development contracts and multiple production contracts, including sustainment activities. The development contracts are being performed concurrent with the production contracts. Concurrent performance of development and production contracts is used for complex programs to test aircraft, shorten the time to field systems, and achieve overall cost savings. We expect the System Development and Demonstration portion of the development contracts will be substantially complete in 2017, with less significant efforts continuing into 2019. Production of the aircraft is expected to continue for many years given the U.S. Government’s current inventory objective of 2,443 aircraft for the Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy; commitments from our eight international partners and three international customers; as well as expressions of interest from other countries.

The U.S. Government continues to complete various operational tests, including ship trials, mission system evaluations, and weapons testing, with the F-35 aircraft fleet recently surpassing 30,000 flight hours. Progress continues to be made on the production of aircraft. In preparation for the U.S. Marine Corps’ (USMC) initial operating capability anticipated in 2015, the USMC conducted operational and integration tests aboard the USS Wasp, including night landings on the carrier. As of June 28, 2015, we have delivered 128 production aircraft to our U.S. and international partners and have 81 production aircraft in backlog, including orders from our international partners.

Given the size and complexity of the F-35 program, we anticipate that there will be continual reviews related to aircraft performance, program schedule, cost, and requirements as part of the DoD, Congressional, and international partners’ oversight and budgeting processes. Current program challenges include, but are not limited to, supplier and partner performance, software development, level of cost associated with life cycle operations and sustainment and warranties, receiving funding for production contracts on a timely basis, executing future flight tests, and findings resulting from testing and operating the aircraft.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting policies we disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2014 Form 10-K.

Goodwill

We continue to experience uncertainty in our business environment due to significant fiscal and economic challenges facing the U.S. Government, our primary customer, as well as market pressures. While initiatives such as the Bipartisan Budget Act provided a more measured and strategic approach to addressing the U.S. Government’s fiscal challenges through 2015, budget reductions, including sequestration, remain a long-term concern as the Bipartisan Budget Act retained sequestration cuts for GFYs 2016 through 2021 and the across-the-board spending reduction methodology provided for in the Budget Control Act. Generally, our businesses with smaller, short-term contracts are the most susceptible to the impacts of budget reductions, such as our Civil reporting unit within our IS&GS business segment, Technical Services reporting unit within our MFC business segment and certain services businesses within our MST business segment. The Civil reporting unit has been impacted by the continued downturn in certain federal agencies’ information technology budgets and increased re-competition on existing contracts coupled with fragmentation of large contracts into multiple smaller contracts that are awarded primarily on the basis of price.

The carrying value of our Civil reporting unit included goodwill of $2.2 billion as of June 28, 2015. In our last annual goodwill impairment analysis, which was performed in the fourth quarter of 2014, we estimated that the fair value of our Civil reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by a margin of approximately 15%. Budget reductions, contract cancellations and terminations or market pressures could cause our sales, earnings and cash flows to further decline below our current projections. Similarly, market factors utilized in the impairment analysis, including long-term growth rates, discount rates and market pricing multiples, could negatively impact the fair value of our reporting units. Based on our assessment of these circumstances, we have determined that our Civil reporting unit is at risk of a future goodwill impairment should there be further deterioration of projected cash flows, negative changes in market factors or a significant increase in the carrying value of this reporting unit.

Impairment assessments inherently involve management judgments regarding a number of assumptions such as those described above. Due to the many variables inherent in the estimation of a reporting unit’s fair value and the relative size of our recorded goodwill, differences in assumptions could have a material effect on the estimated fair value of one or more of our reporting units and could result in a goodwill impairment charge in a future period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new standard that will change the way we recognize revenue and significantly expand the disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of the standard to 2018 for public companies, with an option that would permit companies to adopt the standard as early as the original effective date of 2017. Early adoption prior to the original effective date is not permitted. In addition, the FASB is contemplating making additional changes to certain elements of the new standard. See Note 9 (under the caption “New Accounting Pronouncements”) for additional information related to this new standard.

We performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 28, 2015. The evaluation was performed with the participation of senior management of each business segment and key Corporate functions, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were operating and effective as of June 28, 2015.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 28, 2015 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains statements that, to the extent they are not recitations of historical fact, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, and are based on our current expectations and assumptions. The words “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan,” “outlook,” “scheduled,” “forecast” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially due to factors such as:

•

our reliance on contracts with the U.S. Government, all of which are conditioned upon the availability of funding;

•

declining budgets; affordability initiatives; the implementation of automatic sequestration under the Budget Control Act of 2011; U.S. Government operations under a continuing resolution or the failure to adopt a budget which may cause contracts to be delayed, canceled or funded at lower levels or which may impact our operating results and cash flows;

•

risks related to the development, performance, schedule, cost and requirements of complex and technologically advanced programs including our largest, the F-35 program;

•

economic, industry, business and political conditions (domestic and international) including their effects on governmental policy;

•

our success in growing international sales and expanding into adjacent markets and risks associated with doing business in new markets and internationally;

•

the competitive environment for our products and services, including increased market pressures in our services businesses, competition from outside the aerospace and defense industry, and increased bid protests;

•

planned production rates for significant programs and compliance with stringent performance and reliability standards;

•

the performance of key suppliers, teammates, venture partners, subcontractors and customers;

•

the timing and customer acceptance of product deliveries;

•

our ability to attract and retain key personnel and transfer knowledge to new personnel; the impact of work stoppages or other labor disruptions;

•

the impact of cyber or other security threats or other disruptions to our businesses;

•

our ability to implement, pace and effect capitalization changes such as share repurchase activity and pension funding or debt levels;

•

our ability to recover certain costs under U.S. Government contracts and changes in contract mix;

•

the accuracy of our estimates and projections;

•

risk of a future impairment of goodwill or other long-term assets;

•

movements in interest rates and other changes that may affect pension plan assumptions and actual returns on pension plan assets;

•

realizing the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or divestitures, ventures, teaming arrangements or internal reorganizations, and our efforts to increase the efficiency of our operations and improve the affordability of our products and services;

•

the satisfaction of conditions to (including regulatory approvals) and consummation of our previously announced acquisition of Sikorsky, the timing and terms of any financing for such acquisition, and our ability to successfully integrate the Sikorsky business and realize synergies and other expected benefits of the transaction;

•

the terms, timing or structure of a potential transaction related to our government IT and technical services businesses (or whether any such transaction will take place at all);

•

the adequacy of our insurance and indemnities;

•

materials availability;

•

the effect of changes in or interpretation of: legislation, regulation or policy, including those applicable to procurement, cost allowability or recovery, accounting, taxation, or export; and

•

the outcome of legal proceedings, bid protests, environmental remediation efforts, government allegations that we have failed to comply with law, other contingencies and U.S. Government identification of deficiencies in our business systems.

These are only some of the factors that may affect the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. For a discussion identifying additional important factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, see our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) including, but not limited to, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and this Form 10-Q. Our filings may be accessed through the Investor Relations page of our website, www.lockheedmartin.com/investor, or through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

Our actual financial results likely will be different from those projected due to the inherent nature of projections. Given these uncertainties, forward-looking statements should not be relied on in making investment decisions. The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q speak only as of the date of its filing. Except where required by applicable law, we expressly disclaim a duty to provide updates to forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-Q to reflect subsequent events, changed circumstances, changes in expectations, or the estimates and assumptions associated with them. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are intended to be subject to the safe harbor protection provided by the federal securities laws.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are a party to or have property subject to litigation and other proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business, including matters arising under provisions relating to the protection of the environment and are subject to contingencies related to certain businesses we previously owned. These types of matters could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary relief. We believe the probability is remote that the outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation as a whole, notwithstanding that the unfavorable resolution of any matter may have a material effect on our net earnings in any particular interim reporting period. We cannot predict the outcome of legal or other proceedings with certainty. These matters include the proceedings summarized in Note 7 in this Form 10-Q and Note 12 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (2014 Form 10-K) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign requirements for protection of the environment, including those for discharge of hazardous materials and remediation of contaminated sites. As a result, we are a party to or have our property subject to various lawsuits or proceedings involving environmental protection matters. Due in part to their complexity and pervasiveness, such requirements have resulted in us being involved with related legal proceedings, claims and remediation obligations. The extent of our financial exposure cannot in all cases be reasonably estimated at this time. For information regarding these matters, including current estimates of the amounts that we believe are required for remediation or clean-up to the extent estimable, see Note 7 in this Form 10-Q. See also “Critical Accounting Policies – Environmental Matters” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 12, each in our 2014 Form 10-K for a description of previously reported matters.

As a U.S. Government contractor, we are subject to various audits and investigations by the U.S. Government to determine whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. U.S. Government investigations of us, whether relating to government contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, or could lead to suspension, proposed debarment, debarment from eligibility for future U.S. Government contracting or suspension of export privileges. Suspension or debarment could have a material adverse effect on us because of our dependence on contracts with the U.S. Government. U.S. Government investigations often take years to complete and many result in no adverse action against us. We also provide products and services to customers outside of the U.S., which are subject to U.S. and foreign laws and regulations and foreign procurement policies and practices. Our compliance with local regulations or applicable U.S. Government regulations also may be audited or investigated.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.

While we attempt to identify, manage and mitigate risks and uncertainties associated with our business to the extent practical under the circumstances, some level of risk and uncertainty will always be present. “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (2014 Form 10-K) describes some of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business, including U.S. Government defense spending priorities, as further described in the “Industry Considerations” section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-Q. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, projected results and future prospects. The information below describes material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our 2014 Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and information described therein.

If we fail to manage acquisitions, divestitures, equity investments and other transactions successfully, our financial results, business and future prospects could be harmed.

In pursuing our business strategy, we routinely conduct discussions, evaluate targets and enter into agreements regarding possible acquisitions, divestitures, ventures and equity investments. We seek to identify acquisition or investment opportunities that will expand or complement our existing products and services or customer base, at attractive valuations. We often compete with others for the same opportunities. To be successful, we must conduct due diligence to identify valuation issues and potential loss contingencies, negotiate transaction terms, complete and close complex transactions, integrate acquired companies and employees and realize anticipated operating synergies efficiently

and effectively. Acquisition, divestiture, venture and investment transactions often require substantial management resources and have the potential to divert our attention from our existing business. Unidentified pre-closing liabilities could affect our future financial results, particularly successor liability under anti-corruption, import-export and technology transfer laws which provide for civil and criminal penalties and the potential for debarment. We also may incur unanticipated costs or expenses, including post-closing asset impairment charges, expenses associated with eliminating duplicate facilities, employee retention, transaction-related or other litigation, and other liabilities. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

On July 20, 2015, we announced that we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Sikorsky Aircraft (Sikorsky). We believe that we will benefit from the integration of our products and technologies with those of the Sikorsky business, and realize synergies and potential for long term growth and expanded capabilities and customer relationships as a result of the acquisition. However, we may not be able to capture anticipated synergies and cost savings and business opportunities in the time frame anticipated, or at all, and Sikorsky may not perform as expected. In addition, we anticipate that the acquisition of Sikorsky will qualify for a joint election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, we may not be able to realize the intended tax benefits from the transaction. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and there can be no assurance that we will receive the required approvals in a timely manner or at all, or that such approvals will not contain adverse conditions. We expect to fund the purchase price for the acquisition with a combination of new debt issuances and available cash. However, we do not currently have financing commitments or other arrangements in place for such new debt and we may be unable to obtain the necessary debt to finance the purchase price on favorable terms or at all, and the issuance of such debt could also affect our credit rating and cost of debt and result in an increase in our leverage ratio under our revolving credit agreement. The announcement and pendency of the acquisition could also cause disruptions in our and Sikorsky’s business, including potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships and competitive responses to any transaction. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

There were no sales of unregistered equity securities during the quarter ended June 28, 2015.

The following table provides information about our repurchases of our common stock that is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 during the quarter ended June 28, 2015.


Period ^(a)	Total Number of Shares Purchased			Average Price Paid Per Share			Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs ^(b)		Amount Available for Future Share Repurchases Under the Plans or Programs ^(b)
											(in millions	)
March 30, 2015 – April 26, 2015		1,579,848			$	198.93		1,579,709		$	2,753
April 27, 2015 – May 31, 2015		2,507,555			$	190.81		2,507,533		$	2,274

Total		4,847,979	^(c)		$	193.30		4,847,818		$	2,130

^(a)

We close our books and records on the last Sunday of each month to align our financial closing with our business processes, except for the month of December, as our fiscal year ends on December 31. As a result, our fiscal months often differ from the calendar months. For example, April 26, 2015 was the last day of our April 2015 fiscal month.

^(b)

In October 2010, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program pursuant to which we are authorized to repurchase our common stock in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market at prices per share not exceeding the then-current market prices. Under the program, management has discretion to determine the dollar amount of shares to be repurchased and the timing of any repurchases in compliance with applicable law and regulation. This includes purchases pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans. The program does not have an expiration date.

^(c)

During the quarter ended June 28, 2015, the total number of shares purchased included 161 shares that were transferred to us by employees in satisfaction of minimum tax withholding obligations associated with the vesting of restricted stock units. These purchases were made pursuant to a separate authorization by our Board of Directors and are not included within the program.
