NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Lockheed Martin Corporation (Lockheed Martin or the Corporation) has continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in the consolidated financial statements included in its 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information provided herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. Certain amounts presented for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the 2004 presentation.

 

 

NOTE 2 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

The Corporation measures compensation cost for stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method of accounting as prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. The Corporation has adopted those provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended, which require disclosure of the pro forma effects on net earnings and earnings per share as if compensation cost had been recognized based upon the fair value-based method at the date of grant for options awarded.

 

Reported and pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented were computed based on the respective reported and pro forma net earnings amounts. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period was used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. In accordance with FAS 128, “Earnings Per Share,” the weighted average number of common shares used in the calculation of diluted per share amounts is adjusted for the dilutive effects of stock options based on the treasury stock method.

NOTE 3 – PENDING ACQUISITION OF THE TITAN CORPORATION

 

In September 2003, the Corporation announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire The Titan Corporation (Titan). Under the terms of the merger agreement, stockholders of Titan could elect to receive $22 in cash for each share of Titan common stock, an amount of Lockheed Martin common stock based on an exchange rate, or a combination of cash and stock. In April 2004, the Corporation and Titan amended the merger agreement. Under the terms of the amended agreement, Titan stockholders will receive $20 in cash for each Titan share owned. The Corporation and Titan are reviewing payments to Titan’s international consultants to determine whether the payments were made in violation of applicable law. The Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) have commenced related investigations.

 

The acquisition remains subject to approval by Titan stockholders and satisfaction of other closing conditions, including a condition that Titan obtain written confirmation that the DoJ considers its investigation of the allegations related to payments to Titan’s

Lockheed Martin Corporation

 

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

international consultants resolved and does not intend to pursue any claims against Titan, or Titan must have entered into a plea agreement with the DoJ and completed the sentencing process. Upon satisfaction of this condition in accordance with the amended merger agreement, Lockheed Martin has agreed that the facts surrounding these allegations, and the related proceedings, costs and expenses, will not constitute a material adverse effect on Titan.

 

Titan has agreed that it will not enter into any agreement with the U.S. Government to resolve the investigation and allegations without Lockheed Martin’s written consent, which cannot be unreasonably withheld or delayed. It will not be considered unreasonable if Lockheed Martin withholds its consent in a situation in which 1) the aggregate fines, penalties or settlement payable by Titan or any of its affiliates are materially adverse in relation to Titan’s consolidated financial condition, assets or stockholders’ equity, or 2) the agreements, consent decrees or settlements impose significant adverse restrictions or limitations on the business or operations of Titan or any of its affiliates.

Legislation was recently passed which impacts the measurement of liabilities included in funding calculations for 2004. The Corporation does not expect that required contributions to its defined benefit pension plans during the year ending December 31, 2004 will be material, after giving consideration to a $450 million discretionary prepayment in 2003. Approximately $310–$320 million is expected to be contributed to its retiree medical and life insurance plans in 2004. Contributions in the first quarter of 2004 were not material.

 

The Lockheed Martin Corporation Salaried Savings Plan includes a 401(k) feature that has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The ESOP purchased 34.8 million shares of the Corporation’s common stock in 1989 with the proceeds from a $500 million note issue which is guaranteed by the Corporation. The Corporation’s match to the Salaried Savings Plan consists of shares of its common stock, which has been partially fulfilled with stock released from the ESOP at approximately 2.4 million shares per year. The Corporation expects to repay the final quarterly installment of the ESOP debt in the second quarter of 2004 and allocate the remaining shares held by the ESOP. Subsequent to the second quarter of 2004, the Corporation’s match to the Salaried Savings Plan is

 

10


Lockheed Martin Corporation

 

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

expected to be fulfilled through purchases of common stock from terminating participants or in the open market, or through newly issued shares from the Corporation.

 

NOTE 6 – CONTINGENCIES

 

The Corporation or its subsidiaries are parties to or have property subject to litigation and other proceedings, including matters arising under provisions relating to the protection of the environment. In the opinion of management and in-house counsel, the probability is remote that the outcome of the environmental matters described below will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. These matters include the following items:

 

Environmental matters—The Corporation is responding to three administrative orders issued in 1994 and 1997 by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (the Regional Board) in connection with the Corporation’s former Lockheed Propulsion Company facilities in Redlands, California. Under the orders, the Corporation is investigating the impact and potential remediation of regional groundwater contamination by perchlorates and chlorinated solvents. The Regional Board has approved the Corporation’s plan to maintain public water supplies with respect to chlorinated solvents during this investigation, and the Corporation continues to negotiate with local water purveyors to implement this plan, as well as to address water supply concerns relative to perchlorate contamination.

 

There is no formally adopted, enforceable remediation or drinking water standard for perchlorates under California or federal law, and interim standards are in a state of flux. In January 2002, the State of California reduced its provisional standard for perchlorate concentration in water from 18 parts per billion (ppb) to 4 ppb. Although this revised provisional standard did not create any legally enforceable requirements for the Corporation at the time, the Corporation developed and is in the process of implementing a preliminary remediation plan which would meet that provisional standard if it were to become final. In March 2004, the State of California again changed its provisional standard for perchlorates, raising it from 4 ppb to 6 ppb. The Corporation is evaluating the impact of this most recent change in the provisional standard, but does not expect significant changes to the preliminary remediation plan at this time.

 

The consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2004 includes a liability of approximately $180 million, representing the Corporation’s estimate of the remaining expenditures necessary to implement the remediation and other work at the site. As at other sites, the Corporation is pursuing claims for contribution to site clean-up costs against other potentially responsible parties (PRPs), including the U.S. Government.

 

The Corporation has been conducting remediation activities to address soil and groundwater contamination by chlorinated solvents at its former operations in Great Neck, New York, which it acquired as part of its acquisition of Loral Corporation in 1996. This work is being done pursuant to a series of orders and agreements with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation beginning with a 1991

 

11


Lockheed Martin Corporation

 

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

administrative order entered by Unisys Tactical Defense Systems, a predecessor company at the site. The remediation work associated with this site includes work performed on the site itself, as well as implementation of an interim remedial measure intended to address an off-site plume of groundwater contamination. Future costs are estimated to be approximately $50 million. This amount is included in the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2004. As at other sites, the Corporation is pursuing claims against other PRPs, including the U.S. Government, for contribution to site clean-up costs.

 

Since 1990, the Corporation has been responding to various consent decrees and orders relating to soil and regional groundwater contamination in the San Fernando Valley associated with the Corporation’s former operations in Burbank and Glendale, California. Among other things, these consent decrees and orders obligate the Corporation to construct and fund the operations of soil and groundwater treatment facilities in Burbank and Glendale, California through 2018 and 2012, respectively; however, responsibility for the long-term operation of these facilities was assumed by the respective localities in 2001. The Corporation has been successful in limiting its financial responsibility for these activities to date to its pro rata share as a result of litigation and settlements with other PRPs. In addition, under an agreement reached with the U.S. Government in 2000, the Corporation will continue to be reimbursed in an amount equal to approximately 50% of future expenditures for certain remediation activities by the U.S. Government in its capacity as a PRP under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act. The Corporation has recorded a liability of approximately $55 million representing its estimate of the total expenditures required over the remaining terms of the consent decrees and orders described above, net of the effects of the agreement.

 

The Corporation is involved in proceedings and potential proceedings relating to environmental matters at other facilities, including disposal of hazardous wastes and soil and groundwater contamination. The extent of the Corporation’s financial exposure cannot in all cases be reasonably determined at this time. In addition to the amounts with respect to the Redlands, Great Neck, Burbank and Glendale sites described above, a liability of approximately $140 million for the other properties (including current operating facilities and certain facilities operated in prior years) in which an estimate of financial exposure can be determined has been recorded. In cases where a date to complete activities at a particular environmental site cannot be estimated by reference to agreements or otherwise, the Corporation projects costs over a reasonable time frame not to exceed 20 years.

 

Under agreements reached with the U.S. Government in 1990 and 2000, certain groundwater treatment and soil remediation expenditures referenced above are being allocated to the Corporation’s operations as general and administrative costs and, under existing government regulations, these and other environmental expenditures related to U.S. Government business, after deducting any recoveries from insurance or other PRPs, are allowable in establishing the prices of the Corporation’s products and services. As a

 

12


Lockheed Martin Corporation

 

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

result, a substantial portion of the expenditures are being reflected in the Corporation’s sales and cost of sales pursuant to U.S. Government agreement or regulation.

 

At March 31, 2004, the aggregate amount of liabilities recorded relative to environmental matters was approximately $425 million. The Corporation has recorded an asset for the portion of environmental costs that are probable of future recovery in pricing of the Corporation’s products and services for U.S. Government business. The portion that is expected to be allocated to commercial business has been reflected in cost of sales. The recorded amounts do not reflect the possible future recoveries of portions of the environmental costs through insurance policy coverage or from other PRPs, which the Corporation is pursuing as required by agreement and U.S. Government regulation. Any such recoveries, when received, would reduce the allocated amounts to be included in the Corporation’s U.S. Government sales and cost of sales.

 

Waste remediation contract—In 1994, the Corporation was awarded a $180 million fixed-price contract by the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) for the design, construction and limited test of remediation facilities, and the remediation of waste found in Pit 9, located on the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory reservation. The DoE, through its management contractor, terminated the Pit 9 contract for default on June 1, 1998. The DoE’s lawsuit, together with the Corporation’s counterclaims, was tried in the U.S. District Court in Pocatello, Idaho from August through November 2003. At trial, the DoE sought damages and interest totaling approximately $100 million. The Corporation sought to overturn the termination for default and damages of approximately $270 million. The matter was submitted to the trial court for decision in March 2004. The Corporation has assumed that it will recover some portion of its costs, which are recorded in inventories, based on its estimate of the probable outcome of the case. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the lawsuit with certainty. The court may award damages to either party in the full amount it sought at trial or in some lesser amount. The Corporation expects the court to render its decision later in 2004. However, the final resolution of the lawsuit will likely depend upon the outcome of further proceedings and possible negotiations with the DoE.

 

NOTE 7 – INFORMATION ON BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

In 2003, the Corporation announced the formation of Integrated Systems & Solutions (IS&S), a new business segment, from components of the Electronic Systems and Space Systems segments. The following tables of financial data have been adjusted to reflect these changes in the business segments. These actions did not result in any changes to the historical operating results in total for the Corporation.

 

The Corporation operates in five business segments: Aeronautics, Electronic Systems, Space Systems, IS&S, and Information & Technology Services (I&TS). In the following tables of financial data, the total of the operating results of the principal business segments is reconciled to the corresponding consolidated amount. With respect to the caption “Operating profit,” the reconciling item “Unallocated Corporate (expense) income, net” includes the FAS/CAS pension adjustment (see discussion below), earnings

 

13


Lockheed Martin Corporation

 

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

and losses from equity investments (mainly telecommunications), interest income, costs for stock-based compensation programs, the effects of items not considered part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance, Corporate costs not allocated to the operating segments and other miscellaneous Corporate activities. For financial data other than “Operating profit,” all activities other than those pertaining to the principal business segments are included in “Other.”

 

The FAS/CAS pension adjustment represents the difference between pension expense calculated for financial reporting purposes under GAAP in accordance with FAS 87, and pension costs calculated and funded in accordance with U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), which are reflected in the business segment results. CAS is a major factor in determining pension funding requirements for the Corporation, and governs the extent of allocability and recoverability of pension costs on government contracts. The CAS cost is recovered through the pricing of the Corporation’s products and services on U.S. Government contracts, and therefore recognized in segment net sales. The results of operations of the Corporation’s segments only include pension expense as determined and funded in accordance with CAS rules.

NOTE 8 – OTHER

 

In 2003, the Corporation issued irrevocable redemption notices for two issuances of callable debentures totaling $450 million. In March and April 2003, the Corporation repaid $300 million and $150 million, respectively. The Corporation recorded a loss, net of state income tax benefits, of $19 million in other income and expenses related to the

early repayment of the $450 million of debt. The loss reduced net earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 by $13 million ($0.03 per diluted share).

 

In March 2003, Lockheed Martin paid $130 million to acquire the outstanding borrowings of Space Imaging, LLC, an equity investee, under Space Imaging’s credit facility, and the Corporation’s guarantee of Space Imaging’s borrowings under the credit facility was eliminated. The Corporation reversed, net of state income taxes, approximately $19 million of the charge recorded in 2002 related to its investment in Space Imaging and the guarantee. This gain increased first quarter 2003 net earnings by $13 million ($0.03 per diluted share). The $130 million is included in investing activities on the statement of cash flows for the period ended March 31, 2003.

 

The components of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 consisted of the following:

Independent Accountants’ Review Report

 

Board of Directors

Lockheed Martin Corporation

 

We have reviewed the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Lockheed Martin Corporation as of March 31, 2004, and the related unaudited condensed consolidated statement of earnings for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management.

 

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly we do not express such an opinion.

 

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the consolidated balance sheet of Lockheed Martin Corporation as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated January 27, 2004, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph relating to the Corporation’s 2002 adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31 2003, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

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

 

March 31, 2004

 

Lockheed Martin Corporation is mainly involved in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, operation and support of advanced technology systems, products and services. We serve customers in domestic and international defense, civil government and commercial markets. Over 75% of our sales over the past three years have been to agencies of the U.S. Government. Our main areas of focus are in the defense, space, homeland security and government information technology markets.

 

We operate in five principal business segments: Aeronautics, Electronic Systems, Space Systems, Integrated Systems & Solutions (IS&S) and Information & Technology Services (I&TS). As a lead systems integrator, our products and services range from aircraft, spacecraft and launch vehicles to missiles, electronics and information systems, including integrated network-centric solutions.

 

The following discussion should be read along with our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Consolidated Results of Operations

 

Since our operating cycle is long-term and involves many types of development and production contracts with varying production delivery schedules, the results of operations of a particular quarter, or quarter-to-quarter comparisons of recorded sales and profits, may not be indicative of our future operating results. The following discussions of comparative results among periods should be viewed in this context.

 

Net sales for the first quarter of 2004 were $8.3 billion, an 18% increase over the first quarter 2003 sales of $7.1 billion. Sales increased in all business segments during the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to 2003.

 

18


Lockheed Martin Corporation

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations (continued)

 

For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the following items, among other things, were included in “Unallocated Corporate (expense) income, net” (see the related section under the Discussion of Business Segments below):

 

  A loss, net of state income taxes, of $19 million recognized in the first quarter of 2003 associated with our decision to call and prepay $450 million of long-term debentures originally due 2023.

 

  The impact of the reversal, net of state income taxes, of $19 million of the charge we recorded in 2002 related to our investment in Space Imaging and our guarantee of certain of Space Imaging’s borrowings. In March 2003, we paid $130 million to acquire the outstanding borrowings of Space Imaging, LLC, an equity investee, under Space Imaging’s credit facility, and our guarantee of Space Imaging’s borrowings under the credit facility was eliminated.

 

On a net basis, these items did not impact our net earnings or earnings per share for the 2003 period. There were no such items related to the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

 

Operating profit (earnings before interest and taxes) for the first quarter of 2004 was $536 million, an increase of 6% from the $505 million recorded in 2003. Operating profit increased in all five business segments during the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from the comparable 2003 period.

 

Interest expense for the first quarter of 2004 was $108 million, $32 million lower than the comparable period in 2003. This was primarily the result of the reduction in our debt portfolio and the favorable impact of having issued $1.0 billion of convertible debentures in August 2003 to replace higher cost debt.

 

Our effective income tax rates for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 were 32.0% and 31.5%. The effective rates for both periods were lower than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to tax benefits related to export sales.

 

For the first quarter of 2004 and 2003, our net earnings were $291 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, and $250 million, or $0.55 per diluted share.

 

Discussion of Business Segments

 

The following tables of financial information and related discussions of the results of operations of our business segments are consistent with the presentation of segment information in Note 7 to the financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

 

The Aeronautics segment generally includes fewer programs that have much larger sales and operating results than programs included in the other segments. Therefore, due to the larger number of comparatively smaller programs in the remaining segments, the discussions of the results of operations of these business segments generally focus on lines of business within the segments.

   2003

     (In millions)

Net sales

   $ 2,874    $ 2,088

Operating profit

     206      145

 

Net sales for Aeronautics increased by 38% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from 2003 due to growth in the Combat Aircraft and Air Mobility lines of business. Combat Aircraft sales growth of $750 million was primarily due to higher volume on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program and on F-16 programs as a result of increased deliveries (15 in 2004 compared to three in 2003). Increased C-130J deliveries, four in 2004 compared to three in 2003, contributed to the revenue growth in Air Mobility.

 

Segment operating profit increased by 42% for the quarter in 2004 compared to 2003. Operating profit was higher primarily due to the impact of increases in aircraft deliveries and volume in Combat Aircraft programs, and the return to profitability in 2004 on

C-130J deliveries.

 

Electronic Systems

 

Electronic Systems’ operating results included the following:

Net sales for Electronic Systems increased by 8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to 2003. The sales increase was primarily attributable to higher volume in surface systems programs at Maritime Systems & Sensors (MS2) and in combat vision programs at Missiles & Fire Control (M&FC).

 

Segment operating profit increased by 10% for the quarter in 2004 compared to 2003. Operating profit was higher primarily due to improved performance on tactical missile

Net sales for Space Systems increased 3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to 2003. The sales growth was primarily attributable to an increase in Launch Services (two Atlas launches in 2004 compared to none in 2003), which more than offset a decline in Satellites due to one less commercial satellite delivery.

 

Space Systems’ operating profit increased by 15% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to 2003. Launch Services’ operating profit increased due to the benefit resulting from the termination of a launch vehicle contract by a commercial customer and U.S. Government support of the Atlas program, which more than offset a decline in activities on the maturing Titan launch vehicle program. Satellites’ operating profit declined due to performance on certain government satellite programs, which more than offset improved performance in commercial satellites.

Net sales for IS&S increased by 17% and operating profit increased 11% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from the comparable 2003 period. These increases were primarily attributable to a higher volume of intelligence, defense and information assurance activities.

Net sales for I&TS increased by 24% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to 2003. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to higher volume of $120 million in Information Technology. Information Technology’s results included the net impact of the Corporation’s November 2003 purchase of the ACS federal government IT business and the concurrent sale of its commercial IT business, as well as organic growth on existing IT programs. The remaining increase in sales was attributable to higher volume in Defense Services, which were partially offset by a decline in NASA program sales.

 

Segment operating profit increased by 25% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from the comparable 2003 period. Operating profit increased mainly due to the higher volume in Information Technology.

The increases in the FAS 87 expense and the CAS cost amounts in 2004 compared to 2003 are consistent with our expectations based on the assumptions we used in computing these amounts as discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies.”

 

LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOWS

 

We have established strategic cash deployment objectives to help ensure that we keep a focus toward growing our core business and increasing shareholder value, and that we are in a position to take advantage of opportunities when they arise. These objectives include internal investment in our business (e.g., capital expenditures, independent research and development), debt reduction, acquisitions of businesses that will complement our core operations, share repurchases and increases in dividends. The following discussion highlights activities during the first quarter of 2004 that support these objectives.

 

Operating Activities

 

Our operating cash flow continues to be the primary source of funds for financing our activities. Cash from operations amounted to $1.1 billion in the first quarter of 2004 and $544 million in the first quarter of 2003. Our earnings, adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, as well as working capital improvements, were the driving forces behind the first quarter 2004 cash flows. Our working capital has improved in 2004 when compared to the prior year. We attribute this to our continued discipline in managing our cash conversion cycle, from the negotiation of performance-based progress payment or advance payment terms in our contracts, inventory management and billing and collection activities. We expect cash from operations to continue to be strong.

 

23


Lockheed Martin Corporation

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations (continued)

 

Investing Activities

 

Capital expenditures—Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment amounted to $106 million in the first quarter of 2004 and $78 million in the first quarter of 2003. We expect our capital expenditures to increase over the next 2 years consistent with the expected growth in our business.

 

Acquisitions and divestitures—We also selectively identify businesses for potential acquisition. During the first quarter of 2004, we liquidated $240 million from short-term investments to cash in anticipation of completing our acquisition of The Titan Corporation (see the following discussion entitled “Pending Acquisition of The Titan Corporation”). During the first quarter of 2003, we paid $130 million associated with our investment in Space Imaging, LLC (see the related discussion in Note 8—“Other”) and $23 million as the final installment on our 2001 acquisition of a government IT provider.

 

Financing Activities

 

Issuance and repayment of long-term debt—Cash provided from operations has been our principal source of funds to reduce our long-term debt. We used $15 million in the first quarter of 2004 and $324 million in the first quarter of 2003, for scheduled repayments of debt maturities. Also during the first quarter of 2003, we repaid $300 million of debt in advance of its maturity and retired other high cost debt. We used $13 million of cash in 2003 for debt repayment costs to complete these transactions. Interest rates on the debt we retired early was 7.875%.

 

Share dividends and repurchases—Shareholders were paid dividends of $98 million in the first quarter of 2004 compared to $54 million in the first quarter of 2003. We paid a dividend of $0.22 per share in the first quarter of 2004 compared to $0.12 per share in the first quarter of 2003.

 

We have a share repurchase program in place for the repurchase of up to 43 million shares of our common stock from time-to-time at management’s discretion. At March 31, 2004, a total of 31.3 million shares may be repurchased in the future under the program. We did not repurchase any of our common shares in the first quarter of 2004; however, cash was used to opportunistically repurchase 6.3 million of our common shares for $279 million in the first quarter of 2003.

 

CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

At March 31, 2004, our total long-term debt amounted to $6.2 billion, unchanged from December 31, 2003. Our long-term debt is mainly in the form of publicly issued notes and debentures. The majority of our long-term debt bears interest at fixed rates while $1.0 billion of convertible debentures has a floating interest rate based on LIBOR. During the first three months of 2004, we improved our debt-to-total capital ratio from

 

24


Lockheed Martin Corporation

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations (continued)

 

48% at December 31, 2003 to 47% at March 31, 2004. We held cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.1 billion at March 31, 2004.

 

Our stockholders’ equity amounted to $7.0 billion at March 31, 2004, an increase of about $270 million from December 31, 2003. Net earnings and stock plan activities more than offset our payment of dividends.

 

At March 31, 2004, we had in place a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility; no borrowings were outstanding. This credit facility will expire in November 2006.

 

We actively seek to finance our business in a manner that preserves financial flexibility while minimizing borrowing costs to the extent practicable. Our management continually reviews changes in financial, market and economic conditions to manage the types, amounts and maturities of our indebtedness. We may at times refinance existing indebtedness, vary our mix of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt, or seek alternative financing sources for our cash and operational needs.

 

Cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations and other available financing resources, are expected to be sufficient to meet anticipated operating, capital expenditure, dividend and debt service requirements, as well as acquisitions, share repurchases and other discretionary investment needs, projected over the next three years. Consistent with our goal to generate cash to reduce debt and invest in our core businesses, we expect that, depending on prevailing financial, market and economic conditions, we will continue to explore the sale of non-core businesses, passive equity investments and surplus real estate.

 

In January 2004, Intelsat announced its intention to conduct an initial public offering of its shares in an amount up to $500 million, and that it expected the offering to occur on or before June 30, 2004. Intelsat recently filed materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating that it intends to proceed with the initial public offering. If the initial public offering price and subsequent market price for Intelsat’s common stock were to be below the carrying value of our investment, we would need to evaluate whether a charge to earnings should be recorded in a future period to reflect the then current market value of our Intelsat shares.

 

Realization and valuation of our other investments in equity securities may be affected by an investee’s ability to obtain adequate funding, including through public and private sales of its debt and equity securities, and execute its business plans, as well as by general market conditions, industry considerations specific to the investee’s business, and/or other factors. The inability of an investee to obtain future funding or successfully execute its business plan could adversely affect our earnings in the periods affected by those events.

PENDING ACQUISITION OF THE TITAN CORPORATION

 

In September 2003, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire The Titan Corporation. Under the terms of the merger agreement, stockholders of Titan could elect to receive $22 in cash for each share of Titan common stock, an amount of Lockheed Martin common stock based on an exchange rate, or a combination of cash and stock. In April 2004, the Corporation and Titan amended the merger agreement. Under the terms of the amended agreement, Titan stockholders will receive $20 in cash for each Titan share owned, or a total of approximately $1.7 billion. In addition, we will assume approximately $600 million of Titan’s long-term debt.

 

Lockheed Martin and Titan have been conducting reviews of whether payments were made, or items of value were provided, by consultants for Titan or its subsidiaries to foreign officials in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). These internal reviews are substantially complete. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also commenced an investigation into whether payments involving Titan’s international consultants were made in violation of applicable law. In addition, the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) initiated a criminal inquiry into this matter. As part of their reviews, Lockheed Martin, Titan, the SEC and the DoJ have been evaluating Titan’s internal controls relating to these matters.

 

The merger agreement also has been amended to provide that, as a condition to the closing of the transaction, Titan must obtain written confirmation that the DoJ considers its investigation of these allegations resolved and does not intend to pursue any claims against Titan, or Titan must have entered into a plea agreement with the DoJ and completed the sentencing process. Upon satisfaction of this condition in accordance with the amended merger agreement, Lockheed Martin has agreed that the facts surrounding these allegations and the related proceedings, costs and expenses will not constitute a material adverse effect on Titan.

 

Titan has agreed that it will not enter into any agreement with the U.S. Government to resolve the investigation and allegations without Lockheed Martin’s written consent, which cannot be unreasonably withheld or delayed. It will not be considered unreasonable if Lockheed Martin withholds its consent in a situation in which 1) the aggregate fines, penalties or settlement payable by Titan or any of its affiliates are materially adverse in relation to Titan’s consolidated financial condition, assets or stockholders’ equity, or 2) the agreements, consent decrees or settlements impose significant adverse restrictions or limitations on the business or operations of Titan or any of its affiliates.

 

The acquisition remains subject to approval by Titan stockholders and satisfaction of other closing conditions. In light of the amendments to the merger agreement, the special meeting of Titan stockholders to vote on the proposed merger is expected to be held on or after June 7, 2004. The revised merger agreement provides that if the merger is not completed on or before June 25, 2004, either Lockheed Martin or Titan may terminate the merger agreement, provided that the party seeking to terminate the agreement is not then

in material breach of its obligations under the merger agreement in a manner that has contributed to the failure to complete the merger by such date. Under certain limited circumstances, the date may be extended to a date as late as September 24, 2004. We plan to finance the acquisition of Titan principally using existing cash and cash equivalents.

 

ADVANCES TO RUSSIAN MANUFACTURERS

 

Lockheed-Khrunichev-Energia International, Inc. (LKEI), a joint venture we have with two Russian government-owned space firms, has exclusive rights to market launches of commercial, non-Russian-origin space payloads on the Proton family of rockets from a launch site in Kazakhstan. Commercial Atlas and Proton launch services are marketed around the world through International Launch Services (ILS), a joint venture between Lockheed Martin and LKEI. We consolidate the results of operations of LKEI and ILS into our financial statements based on our controlling financial interest. Contracts for launch services usually require substantial advances from the customer before the launch. Advances received from customers for Proton launch services not yet provided totaled $304 million at March 31, 2004 and $250 million at December 31, 2003, and were included as a liability on our balance sheet in the caption “Customer advances and amounts in excess of costs incurred.”

 

A sizable percentage of the advances we receive from customers for Proton launch services are sent to Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center (Khrunichev), the manufacturer of the launch vehicle and provider of the related launch services in Russia. If a contracted launch service is not provided, a sizeable percentage of the related advance would have to be refunded to the customer. In addition, we have previously sent advances to Khrunichev that are covered by an arrangement to reduce future launch payments from us to Khrunichev, contingent on the receipt of new orders as well as a minimum number of actual launches each year. The advances sent to Khrunichev are included on our balance sheet in inventories. Total payments to Khrunichev included in inventories at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, net of reserves, were $325 million and $327 million, respectively. Our ability to realize these amounts may be affected by the continuing overcapacity in the launch vehicle market, Khrunichev’s ability to provide the launch services and the political environment in Russia. Through March 2004, launch services through LKEI and ILS have been provided according to contract terms.

 

We have entered into an agreement with RD AMROSS, a joint venture of the Pratt & Whitney division of United Technologies Corporation and the Russian firm NPO Energomash, for the purchase, subject to certain conditions, of RD-180 booster engines for use in our Atlas launch vehicles. Terms of the agreement call for payments to be made to RD AMROSS upon the achievement of certain milestones in the manufacturing process. Inventories included $64 million of payments made under this agreement for engines not yet delivered at March 31, 2004, and $57 million at December 31, 2003.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risk

 

Our main exposure to market risk relates to interest rates and, to a lesser extent, foreign currency exchange rates. Our financial instruments that are subject to interest rate risk principally include long-term debt. Our long-term debt obligations, other than the $1.0 billion in convertible debentures issued in 2003, are generally not callable until maturity. We sometimes use interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to fixed and variable interest rates. At March 31, 2004, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement outstanding was not material.

 

We use forward foreign exchange contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. These contracts are designated as qualifying hedges of the cash flows associated with firm commitments or specific anticipated transactions, and related gains and losses on the contracts, to the extent they are effective hedges, are recognized in income when the hedged transaction occurs. To the extent the hedges are ineffective, gains and losses on the contracts are recognized currently. At March 31, 2004, the fair value of forward exchange contracts outstanding, as well as the amounts of gains and losses recorded during the year then ended, were not material. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic filings with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to use its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As we do not control or manage those entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to those entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.

 

At March 31, 2004, we performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The evaluation was performed with the participation of senior management of each business segment and key Corporate functions, and under the supervision of the CEO and CFO. Based on the evaluation, our management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Statements in this Form 10-Q that are “forward-looking statements” are based on Lockheed Martin’s current expectations and assumptions. The words “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan,” “outlook,” “forecast” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially because of factors such as: the availability of government funding domestically and internationally; changes in government and customer priorities and requirements (including changes to respond to terrorist threats and improve homeland security); the impact of continued hostilities in Iraq on funding for existing defense programs; the award or termination of contracts; difficulties in developing and producing operationally advanced technology systems; the timing and customer acceptance of product deliveries; performance issues with key suppliers, subcontractors and customers; cost reduction and productivity efforts; financial market and other changes that may impact pension plan assumptions; charges from any future impairment reviews that may result in the recognition of losses and a reduction in the book value of investments, goodwill or other long-term assets; the future impact of proposed tax or employment benefit legislation; the completion and integration of proposed acquisitions or divestitures; the outcome of legal proceedings and other contingencies (including lawsuits, government investigations and environmental remediation efforts); the competitive environment for defense and information technology products and services; and economic, business and political conditions domestically and internationally.

 

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events, actual results or changes in our expectations after the date of this Form 10-Q. The forward-looking statements in this document are intended to be subject to the safe harbor protection provided by Sections 27A of the Securities Act and 21E of the Exchange Act.

 

These are only some of the factors that may affect the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. For further information regarding risks and uncertainties associated with our business, please, see the Corporation’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings including, but not limited to, the discussions of “Government Contracts and Regulations” and “Risk Factors and Forward-Looking Statements” on pages 20 through 21 and pages 23 through 30, respectively, of the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003; “Note 3—Pending Acquisition of The Titan Corporation,” “Note 5—Postretirement Benefit Plans” and “Note 6—Contingencies” of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 8 through 9, pages 10 through 11, and pages 11 through 13, respectively, of this Form 10-Q; “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 18 through 27 of this Form 10-Q; and Part II—Item 1, “Legal Proceedings” on page 31 of this Form 10-Q.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Lockheed Martin Corporation

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

The Corporation is a party to or has property subject to litigation and other proceedings, including matters arising under provisions relating to the protection of the environment, as described in “Note 6—Contingencies” of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q, and in the Corporation’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Form 10-K), or arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management and in-house counsel, the probability is remote that the outcome of any such litigation or other proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial position.

 

The Corporation is primarily engaged in providing products and services under contracts with the U.S. Government and, to a lesser degree, under direct foreign sales contracts, some of which are funded by the U.S. Government. These contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements and, from time to time, agencies of the U.S. Government investigate whether the Corporation’s operations are being conducted in accordance with these requirements. U.S. Government investigations of the Corporation, whether relating to these contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon the Corporation, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. Government contracting. U.S. Government investigations often take years to complete and many result in no adverse action against the Corporation. For the U.S. Government investigations described in the Corporation’s Form 10-K, it is too early for Lockheed Martin to determine whether adverse decisions relating to these investigations could ultimately have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial position.

 

We are subject to federal and state requirements for protection of the environment, including those for discharge of hazardous materials and remediation of contaminated sites. As a result, we are a party to or have our property subject to various other lawsuits or proceedings involving environmental protection matters. Due in part to their complexity and pervasiveness, such requirements have resulted in our being involved with related legal proceedings, claims and remediation obligations. The extent of our financial exposure cannot in all cases be reasonably estimated at this time. For information regarding these matters, including current estimates of the amounts that we believe are required for remediation or clean-up to the extent estimable, see ‘‘Note 6—Contingencies’’ on pages 11 through 13 of this Form 10-Q.
